Cetaphil Vitamin C Serum for Dark Spots, Niacinamide, Fragrance Free, 1oz | Reduces Dark Spots, Niacinamide For Uneven Skin Tone, Fragrance Free, Sensitive Skin Safe, Dermatologist Tested

I’ve bought this for years and even gifted it to my friends. I find it to be the best vitamin C serum because that actually closes my pores. Similar vitamin c serums I used didn’t have Sunflower seed oil, which I believe is the key ingredient to shrinking pores. I have oily skin and this has never caused me to dry out too much or get oilier. After I wash my face at night, this is the first part of my skincare routine. I let it absorb into my face before applying other products. I would guess this last me 2 to 3 months I used 3 to 4 drops every night.

I have been using this serum consistently and I can see a clear improvement in my skin. It feels smoother, more hydrated, and more even in texture. It is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and does not irritate my skin. It works well with my other skincare products and I will continue using it. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to improve their skin.

I am very happy that I was able to come across this on Amazon. I am not only saving a few bucks but it was fast delivery. Everything in the package was good and saved me a trip having to go to the mall. I recommend this if you want to save money and unnecessary trip to the mall. My skin has been glowing and I noticed that the dark spots on my face have been removed. I use this once a day in the morning.

Because I spend so much time outside walking my dog, I rely heavily on daily SPF. I wanted to add an antioxidant step to my morning routine to help protect my skin and tackle some mild sun damage, so I picked up this Cetaphil Vitamin C Serum. It has been a very solid, gentle addition. Here is how it performs in a real skincare routine: The Texture & Layering: This is the most important factor for me. The serum is lightweight and absorbs into the skin almost instantly. It does not feel sticky, and most importantly, it does not 'pill' or flake off when I layer my daily sunscreen over the top of it. Sensitivity: Vitamin C can sometimes be irritating, but true to the Cetaphil brand, this formula is incredibly gentle. I haven't experienced any redness, stinging, or breakouts since incorporating it into my mornings. The Results: It definitely provides a nice, immediate glow and makes my skin look healthier and less dull. The Drawbacks: The packaging makes claims about visibly reducing the look of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. While it does brighten the skin overall, you have to manage your expectations—topical Vitamin C takes weeks, if not months, of consistent daily use to actually fade established dark spots. Additionally, the dropper bottle exposes the serum to air every time you open it, which can cause Vitamin C to oxidize and lose its potency faster than a pump bottle would. Verdict: An excellent, non-irritating starter serum that layers beautifully under sunscreen. Just be prepared to use the whole bottle consistently before you judge its dark-spot-fading power!

Works great and one of the only ones I can use on my super sensitive skin. No irritation at all and good value.

This stuff has really improved my skin!! I feel like I can go without makeup and my skin still looks bright and moisturized. Not greasy at all, ok with acne prone skin. Highly recommend!

Don't be fooled - this serum contains a derivative of vitamin C, 3-0-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, that has not been tested thoroughly and its efficacy is currently unknown. Niacinamide, another active ingredient that also helps to eliminate dark spots, can reduce fine lines, and "brighten" skin, is above 3-0-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid on the label and both are high on the ingredient list but no percentages are listed for either. So, is this really a niacinamide or a vitamin C serum? Or both? I've been using vitamin C serums nearly daily with various vitamin C ingredients for over 15 years. The most effective ones have been those that contain the best-tested ingredient, L-ascorbic acid - which is also the most sensitzing. When a certain online retailer was out of stock for over a month with my ride-or-die that I've used for over three years, CeraVe's, which has one of the lowest concentrations of L-ascorbic acid (and least irritating) at only 10%, I thought I'd try this. My bathroom is filled with other Cetaphil products. The serum has a watery gel-like texture that absorbs quickly and leaves a slight but pleasant and soft film that disappears under moisturizer and sunscreen. I use just four drops to cover my entire face, throat, and decollete. The gold "glitter" others are kvetching about in other reviews is totally unnoticeable - you'd have to waste at least an entire dropperful to dispense enough product to sparkle. For the first few times I used the serum, it tingled for a minute or two on application. No irritation or redness; just a prickle. I have other actives in my routine (salicylic acid, adapalene, AHAs) and again, have been using a much stronger form of vitamin C daily for years. Others who use this as their only serum, have sensitive or reactive skin, or don't use other actives daily or consistently may experience more tingling, redness, or other issues with initial use. Having used this serum daily and religiously for two months, here's the verdict: it moisturizes my skin but nothing else. My skin has lost the glow that it had while using an l-ascorbic acid serum, even though I'm using my other anti-aging products at night (adapalene, AHAs). My skin looks matte and some of my lines are more visible since it no longer has the same reflective quality. Since nothing else in my skincare routine, diet, sleep, etc. changed, I attribute the difference in my appearance to the switch in serums. Now that my beloved CeraVe is back in stock, it'll probably take a month for my skin to recover. It's clear that 3-0-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid lacks effectiveness a vitamin C ingredient, at least at the dose in this product, or maybe for experienced vitamin C consumers. Those needing a gentle dark spot corrector may benefit from the undisclosed percentage of niacinamide in this serum - the likely culprit in the initial tingling I experienced - or seek out an actual niacinamide product for that purpose.

Very nice

This serum has a nice texture and gets absorbed quickly. I've used up a bottle both AM and PM, not sure if there is any significant change or not. It doesn't work for my dark spots but maybe did brighten my complexion a bit in the end 🤔 It is very hydrating as well.

Perfect

I love it

Ligera y absorción rápida, no deja manchas e hipo alergénico

Sehr angenehm auf der Haut und zieht schnell ein aber danach braucht man unbedingt noch eine Feuchtigkeitscreme und der Preis ist dafür ganz schön hoch
