    Lightweight & brightening

    I had the chance to try the @neostratacanada 15% Vitamin C + PHA Serum, which I received from @thisisbutterly in exchange for my honest review.

    This serum has a lightweight, almost watery texture that absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky residue. After a few uses, I noticed my skin looking brighter and more refreshed. The combination of Vitamin C for radiance and PHA for gentle exfoliation works really well together — it helps smooth texture while giving a healthy glow.

    I also appreciate that it layers nicely under moisturizer and sunscreen without pilling, which makes it easy to fit into my morning routine. It does have a slight citrusy scent on application, but it fades quickly.

    Overall, I think this is a great option for anyone looking to boost brightness and even out skin tone without irritation. I’ll definitely keep using it to see the longer-term results.

    I'm loving this Neostrata Serum!

    I was sent Neostrata's Enlighten 15% Vitamin C and PHA Serum to try, and I can't say enough good things about it.

    First off, the packaging is super cute. I love the bottle's shade of orange. The dropper in the lid makes it super easy to apply the serum to my skin. I get lots of it on with little to no waste of product.

    I've been applying it to my skin daily in the mornings. It gets absorbed by my skin pretty quickly, so it's an easy step to add before putting on my makeup. My skin sometimes reacts to beauty and skincare products, but that hasn't been an issue with this Neostrata serum. My skin feels soft and moisturized after I put it on. A little goes a long way with this product, so you don't need a whole dropper full to cover my face. It might not be a big bottle, but I can see it lasting a long time.

    Great Brigthening serum for sensitive skin

    I usually struggle to find a vit c serum that is not too harsh on my skin sensitive skin, but this serum has been a jewel. It has help reduce my skin dullness in just 2 weeks without any other brightening product in my routine. It is lightweight and easy to apply. Note that this is an oil based serum, but it didn't feel greasy n my skin and absorbed easily.

    Glowy Skin in a Bottle

    I’ve been using this serum for a little while now and honestly, I really like it. It goes on super lightweight, sinks in fast, and doesn’t leave me feeling sticky (which is a big win because I hate that with some vitamin C serums). My skin definitely looks brighter and a bit more “awake", the only downsides for me are the smell (kinda strong when you first put it on) and that little tingle the first few uses. Nothing major, but worth mentioning. Pricey, yes, but it actually does what it claims, so I’d say it’s worth it if you’re looking for a solid vitamin C.

    Effective yet gentle

    I have used this serum for over 7 days now. Please note I have sensitive skin, but have been off actives for about 6 months as I have sort of reached my skin goals. So when I first introduced the Neostrata vit c serum back into my routine, it did causes purging for first 2 times but I am aware, from my expricne with vit c and actives before, that if purging doesn't last for more than 2 days, it is actually a good sign that the product is effective and working as it pulls out impurities from within the surface layer.
    Overall, I would give this a 4/5 for effectiveness, it is formulated under derma expertise and it does not have any fragrance, and it is not sticky or oily. At last, the ingredient list looks good as well. Vitamin C is coupled with PHA in this serum, which gently exfoliates and hydrates. I always follow it up with sunscreen, as the bottle states it can be used in the morning too.
    I have received this product free for my fair and honest review, and here it is!

    Bottle of brightness

    This little bottle is a bottle of brightness. A brightened up my skin tone and the texture on my face has definitely been not as visible if you feel like your face is very dull I would definitely give this little bottle a try. The only thing is it’s very oil like so. It gets very messy very quickly but once you get the hang of it, it’s very easy to use.

    Effective & non-irritating

    I’ve been using this serum for a week and noticed some brightening and smoothing benefits. This formula is quite potent and gentle. But it is a little on the greasy side, so I prefer to use it at night.

    Hydrating Glow with 15% Vitamin C

    I’ve been using the NeoStrata Vitamin C serum and really like it. The dropper makes it easy to apply, and the lightweight, watery formula leaves a nice glow and layers well under moisturizer and makeup. There’s a faint chemical scent, so I’d give it 4 stars, but overall it feels refreshing.

    It’s formulated with 15% pure Vitamin C at an optimized pH to target dark spots, uneven tone, and texture. Even after a few uses, my skin feels smoother and brighter, and I’m excited to see longer-term results.

    NEOSTRATA 15% Vitamin C + PHA Serum

    As a busy mom, I don’t always have time for a long skincare routine, so I love products that actually work. The NEOSTRATA 15% Vitamin C + PHA Serum has been amazing for my skin. It feels light, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave my face sticky, which is great when I’m rushing in the mornings.
    After a few uses , my skin started looking brighter and smoother, and it feels soft to touch. I like that it’s gentle, even with the Vitamin C, so it didn’t irritate my skin. It’s perfect for moms like me who want healthy, glowing skin without a lot of effort.
