My Experience:
I wanted a vitamin c product that was affordable so I can apply it to my back and chest for my old acne scars. I do not want to use an expensive vitamin c product for so much surface area to cover. That was how I came across this serum. I bought it knowing it has good reviews and it is very affordable.
I used this product every night on my back and chest. It takes 8-10 drops in total. I apply it with my hands after I shower. It only takes 20 seconds for it to dry, but I let it dry for 5 minutes before getting dressed. I noticed it will stain my clothes, so I wear dark-colored pajamas now.
In terms of effectiveness, I have almost no clue how well it works on my back. But, I can feel the skin on my back becoming softer and smoother. I had a few slightly bumpy scars, those have now been smoothed out. This took approximately 1 month. I noticed the same thing happening on my chest scars. I can see how well the scars have faded. But, I still see the scars. I will be purchasing a vitamin c product with a higher concentration once I finish this bottle. It works amazing, but I think my skin is ready for something stronger.
What I Did Not Like:
Once oxidized, the serum becomes an orange-pink color. It stains my fingernails if I do not wash my hands after I use it, which I don't. I cannot remove this stain unless I cut my nail off. But, this is my problem.

My Experience:
I was looking for an affordable option for argan oil since they tend to be overly expensive. I use it for my hair. To keep my scalp healthy and to add a bit of shine to my hair.
I like to add a full dropper's worth of argan oil into my rice water green tea hair rinse. The oil coats my hair strands and keeps the moisture locked in. I do this twice a week. I add one full dropper, sometimes two into my coconut oil-based hair mask. I do this twice a week. If used by itself, I only apply two drops to my palms, rub my palms together, and apply it throughout my hair.
I've been using this product for at least a month now. I noticed it does make my hair shinier when applied by itself. When I add it into my hair concoctions, I believe it works. My hair always feels softer and less coarse after using it.
What I Did Not Like:
The scent. I'm not too sure what the scent resembles. It does not smell pleasant. It's not revolting, but I would rather hold my breath.

My Experience:
I bought this product for the simple ingredients it's made of. It is also very affordable. So, I figured it's worth a try. I mainly wanted a skincare product with niacinamide for my large pores on my forehead, nose, and chin. I get blackheads in those areas, so I was hoping this would help. It did not disappoint me at all. I love this product! This is how I use the serum. I cleanse, then tone, and then I apply this serum. I like to use this during my morning routine. This is due to the basic nature of niacinamide and zinc. There is no need for me to apply sunscreen unless I am leaving my house.
I noticed a positive difference on my skin after only one week of daily use. I noticed the pores on my nose are now smaller and I do not have big blackheads anymore. I still get blackheads, but they have diminished in size. The oils on my forehead have also been produced less. I think the pores on my chin also diminished in size. I will continue to use this serum and will be purchasing a new bottle once finished.
What I Did Not Like:
I noticed the dropper became slightly harder to twist off after a few uses. I saw some dried-up niacinamide within the threads that I constantly have to peel off. But, this might just be an issue I have.

My Experience:
This was the first vitamin c serum I purchased. I bought this specific product because I trust the brand. It’s reputable and the product is very popular among other individuals. Since this was my first vitamin c serum, I wanted a lower acid percentage. It is only 5% perfect for me.
I used this to brighten up, even out my skin tone, and fade away fresh acne scars on my face. The results were very promising. I noticed a positive change on my face after two weeks of daily use. When applying, I like to swipe toner on my face first. Then, apply 3 drops directly onto my face and use my fingers to spread it out. The product is oil-based, so it leaves a very slight oily finish once fully absorbed. I felt a very slight tingling sensation when I first used it, but my skin quickly adjusted to it after a week. The dropper helped apply the product. I had very precise control over how much product I wanted to use.
Transparent packaging is always a plus for me, I can see how much product I have remaining, so I know when to purchase another one. But...
What I Did Not Like:
The packaging. It is part of vitamin c's nature to oxidize when it is constantly exposed to oxygen. The packaging was not made with this in mind. My serum now has a yellow hue to it and I have not emptied the product yet. This caused my vitamin c to lose its effectiveness.

My Experience:
I bought this toner after reading all the raving reviews about it. This toner did not disappoint me at all. The cap can be easily twisted off and the product is shaken out of the small hole on the top. This allows you to control the amount you want to use. I usually shake three droplets out for my entire face. Afterward, I like to swiftly rub my hands together then pat the product all over my face. I focus on my cheeks where it is the driest. It’s very hydrating. My skin absorbs the product very quickly and it leaves my skin feeling plump and smooth. I noticed my skin does absorb products better after using this toner.
What I Did Not Like:
There are two aspects of this product I did not like. Both relate to the packaging. I hate the color of the bottle. I do not know how much product I have left. I have to hold the bottle up towards the light in an attempt to see how much I have left. It hurts my eyes. The second part of the packaging I did not like was the hold where the product comes out. I wish there was a smoother way for the product to be taken out, instead of shaking the bottle. I find some of the product drips off the edge at times. Such as waste.
