It's a shame this is 20mls instead of 30mls, although well formulated
This is a well-formulated 15% EAA serum, most EAA serums are waterless using propanediol as a base the result is a sticky formula which I found comedogenic. e.g. the sticky formulas were Ordinary, Niod and facetheory, in all of these cases I threw the product away within 1-2 weeks. This is a water-based EAA that is fast absorbing, non-comedogenic and gentle. I had no stinging sensation despite the use of tretinoin 0.05% three times a week in the evening. I use the vitamin C in the morning. My main issue is result is slower than with L-ascorbic, but that is for all derivatives of vitamin C, so you need to be patient. I used this product on its own for about two weeks, but I have started layering it over the G and G 15% LAA. This combo is giving me brightness and glow. I layer because I find 15% LAA does not take care of the hyperpigmentation like 20% LAA. In my opinion, EAA is the best derivative so far, 2nd option is SAP. Cons : Since they already have a 10% EAA, why not make a 20% EAA instead 15% EAA 20mls is just too small - will get less than one month of use if using daily This is the best EAA formulation. I have purchased 2nd bottle, and will purchase my 3rd to have as a backup

Love this vit C - noticeable difference immediately
I have had compliments on my skin when using this in the morning. Good consistency and goes on skin smoothly. It does smell a bit weird (probably the ferulic acid), but not bad enough for me not to use it, and I'm quite sensitive to smell. AM: Let your moisturiser dry, then add some of this and you will have GLOWY skin. Be intuitive and don't use on days where your skin feels too dry or irritated. I keep it in its box to avoid contact with light. I would say good value for money, though I haven't tried many other vitamin C skin products to compare, as this one works well for me and is a decent price. I've bought this twice and would recommend.

Repeat purchase
I love this serum and I have repurchased many times as it works very well for my skin. I am not a fan of classic vitamin c serums as they don't play well with other ingredients and are often irritating but this one uses a derivative (3-0 ethyl ascorbic acid) mixed with vitamin E and ferulic acid. It contains fullerenes, very interesting ingredient you don't find often. Price is good as well. I removed a star because every time I buy it it is always near its expiration date which doesn't sit right me. Although the product seems good and not spoilt, you shouldn't sell products that are a few month away (sometimes weeks ) from expiring.

Very Bad on skin, I need refund
VERY BAD… I tried this product last year I had really bad reactions but I had just been back from a holiday so I wasn’t sure what was the cause.. so I stopped using the product to avoid further reactions… and now I decided to try it again and I had same exact reaction as the first time I tried it…. Tiny rashes, dry skin, itchy and puff eyes… omg I am in pain it took me a long time to heal last year and now again.. I don’t normally give reviews but people need to rethink this product, the pic with the AirPod is my skin currently.. the other two are when I first tried the product last year when I got it and how it dried up… pls don’t scratch your face you will end up with the black scars 🙃🥲

Effective and non irritating
This is very runny like water in consistency but if you are careful its fine. Good price, lovely quality, not irritating and I can wear it on my neck+under my eyes. I can wear it often and see my skin is brighter. The dropper works well and you only need a tiny it to cover the face+neck. Smells nice too!

ممتاز والتركيز بطل
ممتاز في التفتيح ولا يسبب تهيج بس تاكدوا للبشرة الحساسة ممكن ما تتحمل التركيز العالي علما استخدمته لايدي لكن تاكسد بعد فترة بسيطة

Within a few weeks, the results are visible. It’s a very good product.
I found this product to be really good and genuine. I started noticing visible results within 2–3 weeks. While it may not work the same way for everyone, as results depend on your skin type and texture, the formula is lightweight and comfortable to use. For long-term use, I think it’s a great product.

Noticeable glow in 2 weeks — light texture and no irritation.
I bought this serum because I wanted something strong enough to help with dullness and uneven skin tone. I’ve been using it for about two weeks now, and I can already see a visible glow. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without feeling sticky. I was a bit worried about irritation since it’s 16% Vitamin C, but it didn’t sting or cause redness on my skin. I also like that it layers well under my moisturizer and sunscreen. The only thing I noticed is that it has a very mild smell, but it fades quickly. Overall, this is a great option if you want a stronger Vitamin C that actually shows results.

Valeur sûre
J'ai essayé ce sérum sans vraiment connaître la marque mais je ne suis pas déçue du tout. J'en suis à mon deuxième flacon. Mon visage est beaucoup moins terne et les irrégularités disparaissent petit à petit. N'hésitez pas, je le recommande vraiment.
