Vitamin C Serum 20% Pure L-Ascorbic Acid, Ferulic Acid, Vitamin E and Hyaluronic Acid for Face and Eyes Natural Anti Aging Anti Wrinkle 1oz. by Dr. Brenner

This is exactly the same as SC CE Ferulic. Maybe better. Same smell ( like hot dog water), consistency, color, and effectiveness. I’ll never go back to paying 130$. For me it’s not sticky, it absorbs well and brightens my skin tone. Also seems to make any blemishes disappear. It’s a great serum. I’ll also say i’ve tried countless Vitamin C serums such as Timeless ( sticky af), SC CE ferulic, Skin Devas (which i did like) Mad Hippies, Ole Henrikson, Tru Skin, etc etc and this one is most like the original SC. It will burn if you use an acid before so be careful. It’s very powerful. Update; People saying it smells like hot dogs it’s supposed to and no it shouldn’t be brown or orange when receiving. Yes it’ll turn color after a few months but that’s the name of the game with real vitamin c. Plan on replacing every 3 months. Store in the fridge for longer effectiveness. Also yes it will sting and burn if you don’t know what you’re doing or are sensitive. Photos are one that turned and one fresh delivered today. I’ve bought several times and never gotten a brown or orange one. Pay attention to the lot numbers. They are making several batches in between and this was since April. The one turned light amber/orange about 3 months after purchase but I didn’t keep it in the fridge. This time I am… The SC one i used to buy was light amber day of delivery and I know now that’s not a good thing. So im still saying this is even better…

First and foremost, we all know that 20% potency is where it's at for Vitamin C serums and this delivers just that. It has noticeably helped brighten and even out my skin, especially pesky leftover marks from the occasional breakouts I still get. I also believe the addition of Ferulic Acid and Vitamin E enhances its effectiveness, providing that extra shield against free radicals. Honestly I'm just playing the long game and hoping these benefits prove true in time, ha! Comparing this serum to the much more expensive Skinceuticals alternative, I can confidently say this much more budget-friendly option holds its own. The ingredients list is nearly identical as you'll find on SkinSkool which is what drove me to try this. It was perfectly clear on arrival and has that classic Vitamin C serum scent, IYKYK. I've had it about 6 weeks now and the formula still hasn't taken on that darkening amber color so I trust that the batches are fresh and production quality is high with this brand. Will purchase again and not have to feel so bad about using it on both my face and décolletage given the price point!

Love!! I’ve tried a ton of vitamin C serums and I never really noticed any kind of difference with them but I had come across this one on a medical blog. I have a thyroid problem that makes me have really bad hormonal cystic break outs and it recommend trying this to help prevent break out and fade scars/dark spots. I noticed a HUGE difference after one night of using this!! I wish I would have taken pictures but I didn’t expect it to work so well. I told all my friends to go buy it too. I also recently started using a derma roller (also bought on amazon) with this and literally the next day I’m shocked at how even and toned my skin looks. I subtracted 1 star because even though the product is effective I’m really not a fan of the texture. The serum is sticky which makes it hard to apply and I usually have to wash my hands after because they are also sticky. When I apply the serum I usually have to do it with a night moisturizer or another oil, and sometimes the extra oil makes me have a white head or two the next morning. Nothing serious just the really small kind that scratched off without leaving any kind of mark. But because of the sticky ness of the serum I’m not able to put it on during the day time because it makes my makeup/primer not stick to my skin and almost like peel off? But all that aside it is still awesome and totally worth it and I just keep using it at night stil! Can’t wait to try other dr. Brenner products now!

This is a lightweight serum that absorbs quickly and seems to smooth my skin. It is a great addition to my skincare routine. I do believe it is working with my other products helping to lighten my darker spot on my face and neck. This is my second bottle and I will continue to purchase this vitamin c. I use it daily in the morning before my SPF and makeup. It lasts about a month, maybe a little longer per bottle and the price for what you are getting is very fair.

This is a dupe for SkinCeuticals vitamin c serum. Spot on. 20% Vit C plus ferulic acid. Except it doesn’t smell like ham 😂 gives the same tingle upon application, it seems as strong, just a little more emollient than theirs as it also has HA so it spreads more easily. It evens tone well especially when paired with Aramore NAD cream! The HA base makes it perfect for using under Aramore. My skin has never looked so good. It’s really a great formula despite the lower price. One bottle lasted me 2 months with nightly application.

Just got this a few days ago, so I can't really attest to the effects yet. My write-up isn't about that aspect. Pros: But KUDOS to their NOT being any oil in this. Us sensitive skin types that tend to break out with anything new thank you for not exacerbating that. I've researched far and wide for a high potency Vit C serum (w/ Vit E) WITHOUT oils in it and they don't really exist in a reasonable price point. Others have jojoba or castor seed or something oil in it and I break out so bad with past Vit C serum purchases by other brands instantly; have NOT (yet) with THIS ONE. yay! Next point: yes to having Vit E in there!! Yes, to the type of Vit C in it -- lots of research on this type w/proven results. Its a simple list of ingredients which is easy to decipher. Cons: The smell...someone mentioned it. Like a cross between smoked scent, and a faint whiff of beef jerky. YES! That is it. It's not super potent but it's there..just like a wafting whiff of it as if someone opened beefjerky in another room and you smell it. I hate it. Makes me not want to use it, and keep searching for a unicorn Vit C/E serum. The smell doesn't dissipate, but I have the nickname "super sniffer" so maybe I'm overly sensitive. I layered another face gel-cream with a scent over it to see if that made it go away...nope. it comes through. I will only use this at night now as a result. I hate additives for no reason, and tend to steer clear of heavy fragrance in face products, but this needs an additive fragrance that is as natural as can be and still suitable for sensitive types. Not lavendar, not rose as those can aggravate some. Just something...how about legit citrus fragrance? Also, I'd like it a bit cheaper to be slightly more competitive with comparable companies/products, but it's still reasonable. Fact: it's really watery-liquidy. I wasn't expecting that but that owes to there not being oils in there. Not bad thing, just to note. Will update with results.

Pros: - Great product. Works well. Dermatologists recommend that Vit C for collagen production should be the serum form of L-Ascorbic acid. Vit E makes the formula more powerful. Vit C + E = tocopherol. Ferulic Acid stabilizes. This product has it all and is very similar to the popular Skinceutical C E Ferulic ($166 for 1 fl oz) - It did not arrive oxidized/brown. It showed up clear - I use it every night with L’Occitane 25% Shea Butter. Next day, skin is less haggard, more moisturized, and younger looking, especially under my eyes - Significantly cheaper than buying Vit C product from dept store (Skinceuticals CE Ferulic is $166 for 1 fl oz) Cons: - Smells bad, BUT that’s ALL Vit C products. Vit C always smells bad - If it gets on your lips, wash it off, because it tastes horrible (typical for Vit C products) Guidance: - Reject and return any Vit C product that has turned brown! It means the Vit C has oxidized and does not work well anymore - Keep Vit C in a dark and in a cool place. I keep it in my medicine cabinet behind the mirrors. I turn the lights off when I pull it out and apply. I squeeze all the air out of the dropper/lid and screw dropper tightly back on, after every use - Vit C will break down/oxidize if used with copper peptides, salicylic acid, or retinol, so avoid combining with those moisturizers - Always apply “lighter to heavier.” Serum first, then moisturizer. If your skin is very dry and requires additional shea butter, put that on last - Remember not to use during the day if you’re going outside, because Vit C breaks down under sun and air

My dermatologist said if there is one product that you use on your face, use Vit C serum. I’ve been using a Vit C serum on my face for twenty years. I used to use a brand that was about a hundred dollars per ounce. I liked the product but not the price. After some trial and error I came upon Dr Brenner. The feel of the serum and results were similar to the more expensive product but much more affordable. Every once and awhile I do get complements on my skin. I would also recommend their hyaluronic acid serum for nighttime. AND…always remember your sunscreen.

Es un excelente producto, mi piel es sensible y lo tolera bastante bien, siento el cambio al momento que me lo pongo, es la segunda vez que lo compro y estoy muy contento.

It doesn't work, I purchased in November 2018 nd still in my face no difference

This is fairly a good brand which is why this is my second bottle. I love the consistency and the texture when applied to my face. It doesn't sting even around my eyes and lips and doesn't pill with the Sunscreen i am using. Really happy with the feeling. However, i do not see any significant lightening of the acne marks and sun damaged parts of my face. I guess it will work overtime. Let us see.

Il siero è arrivato in anticipo rispetto alla data prevista, ben imballato e perfettamente sigillato. All’apertura si presenta trasparente e freschissimo, segno di ottima conservazione e zero ossidazione. La consistenza è leggera, si assorbe in pochi secondi senza lasciare residui, ideale anche come base trucco. Sono molto soddisfatta dell’acquisto e apprezzo la cura nella spedizione: è raro trovare un prodotto con vitamina C consegnato in condizioni così perfette. Consigliatissimo!

Tiene un olor bastante fuerte, cuando llegó ya tenía un color amarillento y cada vez que lo uso me da reacción y me salen granitos, está entero, así que dinero tirado a la basura
