    Visible results in 2 weeks!

    This is by far my absolute favourite serum to use! I’ve tried so many vitamin c serums in the past and most of them were always sticky and i wasn’t able to see such visible results. This one however is very light, not sticky / greasy and super gentle on skin. My skin is much even, brighter, and noticed that the super dark spots i’ve had was now light. I hate wearing sticky / greasy serums and wearing sunscreen in general but i’m able to wear this serum and sunscreen on top of it and go about my day without any irritation or sticky feeling. Very comfortable on skin. I hardly notice i’ve applied anything! It’s made me more comfortable going outdoors without makeup. Would absolutely recommend this serum to anyone! You won’t regret it.

    A New Gold Standard for Your Skincare Routine🏆✨

    After using this serum I completely understand why it’s being called the new gold standard for Vitamin C.🍊
    This lightweight serum melts right into the skin — no stickiness, no heavy feel — just instant radiance. From the very first application, my skin looked fresh and glowing, and after a week, that brightness only got glowier and my skin looked so much healthier and smoother. Even under make up, not only is the application of make up smooth but the glow can also be seen! I love having this serum part of my morning routine and will be 100% purchasing more! 10/10 Recommend!

    Vitamin c serum

    This super serum glides on your skin and gets quickly absorbed without the greasy feeling that most vitamin c serums leave behind. I liked that the serum has an easy pump.

    Glowy skin with the added bonus of no more marks!

    I really liked this vitamin C serum! Not only does it leave you with smooth and glowly skin, it has also helped in reducing quite a few blemishes I had. It does sting a little at first but not unbearable and it works great!

    Great product!

    I totally love this serum! I struggle with post acne pigmentation and after using the product on a regular basis, I see, that it really helps to brighten and improve my skin! It looks better and smoother. Another thing, I also use it on my elbows and it also helps a lot to even out the skin tone in the area.

    New Holt Grail

    I am not new to vitamin C, I have tried everything from cult favourites, gritty, suspended vitamin c’s, medical grade formulas. “Enlighten”, is Neostrata’s 15% vitamin C plus PHA serum is truly a treat. The serum is a daily brightening concentrate which claims to lighten uneven tone and dark spots. It has stabilized 15% L ascorbic acid ( vit c) and green tea extracts along with other skin savvy ingredients. I haven’t had any problems with this product in regards to breakouts or irritation. The product is free of mineral oil, and dermatologist tested however it does not appear to be non-comedogenic. The serum glides onto the face so smooth with almost a bouncy texture. I really love the way it feels and how my skin looks in the morning. Other vC serums I have used were either textured or had other actives making them unsuitable for daytime wear. This serum however directs to use every morning so I’ve been doing that and it layers wonderfully. ( I’m curious if it could be used both morning and night ?) the smooth, slippery formula absorbs quickly. Even when applying to neck and chest as suggested there is no need to worry about an oily reside on your collar .. it really is that good ! Using this feels like a special treat. The product is liquidy and easy to blend , a little goes a long way. My favourite thing about this vitamin C serum in comparison to others I’ve used is the PHA. I notice the difference, even after one use that my skin is lightly exfoliated and glowing. I assume this light exfoliation really helps the vitamin C to penetrate deeply using this vitamin C during the day leaves your skin available to use retinol, etc. in the evenings if your skin can handle it. Again it’s rare to find a vitamin c that states it’s for daytime use and actually works with daytime products. It’s not listed on the packaging but because this is active and does provide exfoliation I would be sure to top with an spf. I did not experience any peeling or purging. I really noticed my fine lines reduced after a week of daily use. Love the eye dropper component . It has a great seal and is luxurious in comparison to other brands that are known for their eye dropper packaging. This is steps above !

    Revive skin with NEOSTRATA Vitamin C & PHA Serum

    I love that this serum is a VIT C & PHA blend. Vit C has been known to helo with dark spots and over all skin appearance as well as reducinf UV damage & pairs well with your daily sun protection. PHA not only boosts the effective of the VIT C but all of the skincare products in your routine & encourages a healthy moisture barrier. The packaging isn't my favourite, but I can easily look past it.
