Great product
I love this product..I've tried alot of different vit c serums over the years and this is the best one I've tried. The price is good compared to some of the more high end brands and the product is comparable. I like that is has a pump style bottle wich keeps the vit c active..unlike other products that have a dropper style bottle. The product feels good in my skin .it tingles a bit and feels like it's nourishing my skin. My skin looks brighter and feels smoother.

Great brightening effect but does smell like hot dog water
This is a great product. It does smell like hot dog water and feels a bit sticky for a few minutes after applying. I watch Dr Sam Ellis on YouTube (the owner of prequel) and I’ve heard her and other dermatologists say that good skincare without added fragrance may smell like science not roses - hence the hot dog water smell. It gives my skin a nice glow and does not irritate my acne. If you can wait a few minutes after applying and prefer a fragrance free good vitamin C serum - this one is awesome

Happy skincare routine
This is my second vitamin c skincare product and I’m glad to say I won’t be switching to another one. Before, I tried a Korean vitamin c cream but didn’t notice any effect from it whatsoever.Prequel has brought me the nicer-quality serum that I need. I love that Dr. Sam Ellis makes this important skincare staple both approachable and affordable.It’s very liquidy so it took me a few tries to get the hang of application. I tried pumping several drops directly onto my face like some people do—but I have sensory issues and dislike that feeling.What I do is make a “cup” with the palm of my hand and pump 1-2 pumps of product into it so it pools. I dip my ring finger to get some of the serum and then apply it in large “dots” onto my forehead, then repeat the finger/dot method for my cheeks, chin, neck and nose. Then I use my fingers to collect remaining product from my palm and use them to rub in all of the “dots” evenly.I have dry skin. In my experience this serum is not sticky or tacky after applied. It feels smooth, plump and nice. The smell is a bit strange but I don’t mind it and it goes away after a few minutes. I usually wait 2-5 mins before applying my moisturizer and sunscreen to let it soak in.I will say you should apply this to bare skin always. I accidentally applied it over some leftover self-tanner lotion on my face and it was extremely itchy and uncomfortable all day. Use it as the first step for daily routine and you’ll be good to go.

Good, except for smell.
This product is very good for the skin. I am 56. It has improved my skin brightness. I have hyperpigmentation nd it has helped with lightning my skin in that area of my face. The only big complaint I have of this product is it smells awful. The smell goes away after a few minutes, if u can tolerate it like I do u can use product.

Glowing Skin in a Bottle!
I’ve tried a lot of serums over the years, but this Vitamin C serum stands out. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave any sticky residue, perfect for layering under moisturizer or makeup. Within just a couple of weeks, I noticed my skin looking brighter, more even, and refreshed. My dark spots and post-acne marks have faded noticeably, and my overall complexion looks healthier and more radiant.What I love most is that it feels gentle on my sensitive skin, yet powerful enough to deliver visible results. The packaging also keeps the product fresh, which is a huge plus since Vitamin C can lose potency if exposed to light and air.If you’re looking for a serum that actually delivers on its promises, brighter skin, smoother texture, and a youthful glow this is it. I’ll definitely be repurchasing.

Amazing vitamin C Serum
I absolutely love this vitamin C serum! It has quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. The formula feels comparable to much higher-end serums I’ve tried, with similar ingredients and a luxurious, smooth texture. It glides on effortlessly, absorbing quickly without leaving any sticky residue.One of the standout benefits is its brightening effect. After using this serum consistently, I've noticed a noticeable improvement in the radiance of my complexion. It gives my skin a healthy glow, making it look more vibrant and even-toned.There is one minor downside—the pump can be a bit finicky. Sometimes it’s hard to get the serum out, and it tends to dispense a bit of air along with the product. While this doesn’t affect the quality or performance of the serum itself, it can be a slight inconvenience when you're in a rush or trying to use just the right amount.Overall, this vitamin C serum is a fantastic product with great results, a smooth, non-sticky feel, and a brightening effect that works wonders for my skin. The pump issue is small. Nonetheless, it’s a great value, especially when compared to pricier serums on the market.

Good, but arrived oxidized
Was so excited to use the product as I’ve heard it’s a dupe for higher end products. The smell doesn’t bother me and the consistency is liquid-y which helps what I was so disappointed is that it arrived oxidized and with an orange tint. This typically happens but I’ve never had it be like this upon opening. They need to fix packaging so that it can be stable for longer

serum-great; pump-not so much
The serum is light in texture and absorbs into the skin easily with very minimal stickiness. Reviewers who likened the scent to hot dog water were spot on, but it's not a strong scent and fades quickly after applying. I do notice a luminescence on my skin immediately after applying, which is nice. I think it's one of the better Vitamin C serums I've tried and is priced competitively. The pump dispenser is problematic though. The pump itself leaked a bit under the cap during shipment. And I notice additional leaking under the cap when I shake the serum up before dispensing. It also dispenses more serum then needed.
