Vitamin C Serum Plus with Hyaluronic Acid & Retinol, 2 oz | Niacinamide, salicylic acid, hydrating, skin-smoothing formula

UPDATE 6/26/20: I still think this is a good product but I've moved on to my new holy grail product for controlling acne and improving skin tone...tretinoin (Retin-A)! This product changed my life and if you're struggling with your skin I highly recommend looking into it. It is by prescription only. I started using this product 3 months ago, and am currently on my second bottle. This serum is by far my MOST essential, holy grail skincare product. I wish I'd found it years ago. I am 29, Indian, and have oily skin that is prone to comedogenic and hormonal acne. I also battled cystic acne for years in the past. This is a pretty long and detailed review but I want anyone thinking about buying this product to know how my extremely positive experience has been! Before I started using this, my face was very, very congested and broken out, with extreme texture issues all over. I would wake up every morning with tiny whiteheads and/or milia, even with washing my face or showering the night before. I had closed comedones all over my face, especially on my forehead and cheeks. I had been using nose pore strips on a weekly basis since high school. No amount of physical exfoliation (think St. Ives scrub) would make my skin totally smooth. Any new, active acne would take a week or longer to go away. With this serum, I get very little new acne, and mainly only around my period or if I've been lax with my skincare or diet. When I do get a pimple, it disappears within a couple of days. The whiteheads, milia, and closed comedones are no longer an issue at all. My forehead and nose are completely smooth and the texture of the rest of my face has vastly improved. I haven't used a single nose pore strip since I started using this serum in March. I had one particularly stubborn closed comedone in between my eyebrows that had been there for several months, if not a year or longer. After ONE USE of this product, the closed comedone came to the surface (along with many others). After three days, it was completely gone. Skin tone wise, my face has brightened considerably. The skin around my mouth has always been a bit darker and it's evened out quite a bit, although I still have a ways to go. Keep in mind if you're worried this product will "make you break out". Unless you have very sensitive skin or are allergic to any of the ingredients, it's likely not going to make you break out - the congestion under your skin is just coming to the surface. It's not a pretty sight but it's the first step to transforming your skin! I personally only had to deal with this phase for one or two days. If this is a concern of yours or your skin sounds similar to mine, then time your first application accordingly (i.e. on a Friday evening when you don't have to go out that weekend). I would also start with a light application rather than using an entire dropper on your first go. It's totally normal for the areas with thin skin (like around your nose) to be slightly red and irritated the next day. Go easy on those areas until your skin builds a tolerance to it. Start with a few drops and see how your skin handles it. I counted out how many drops I use for my entire face and neck, I use 16-20 (not a full dropper). Starting out I probably used 10-12 drops. Wearing sunscreen is really important while you're using this product because like many actives, it makes you photosensitive. Sun exposure will also worsen PIH, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars, so if these are a concern for you, you should be using sunscreen anyway! I find I get much, much better results if I apply the serum before bed as opposed to in the morning (but I actually started using it AM and PM once I knew my skin could handle it). It's lightly moisturizing which is great for my oily skin and gives my skin a nice glow. Overall I'm very, very happy with this product and I pray they never discontinue making this!

I used to spend so much money on expensive moisturizers for my face. Years ago, when I did more facials than I seem to be doing now, they would put a bunch of serums on my face and neck. Layering each one. Vitamin c serum was a basic line used every time. I love how it feels and looks. I can feel it absorbing into my skin. And tightening up just a little bit it is so important to give your skin more nutrients. This serum does it. And I love that it doesn’t feel heavy like it is clogging my pores. My skin is clearing up and you can tell. I have had these little acne cysts for a long time. So over time I just kept getting little bumps. Around my chin and lip area. Probably from constant subconscious touching of my face. I have been using for almost a year now. And those little cysts are gone now and more pores feel tighter. I love how healthy my skin looks now. It takes no time also for it to dry. I mean in less that a minute. Maybe less. I make sure it is part of my morning routine. And the price is perfect.

I have used this product for about four months so I feel I can give a good, comprehensive review. Background: - I’m a 36 year old white female with ok skin. I spent a lot of time in the sun as a teenager and I feel like that is beginning to catch up with me in terms of fine lines and some unevenness in tone. Product packaging: This is a 1 oz bottle. I had a hard time picturing the size before ordering so please see the photo with the chapstick for scale. The dropper is nice since the product is very thin. It helps not waste too much product. Once the bottle quantity is low, the dropper no longer works. One bottle lasts about a month when I use it morning and evening. Smell and texture: As mentioned, this serum is very thin but has a pleasant, almost citrusy smell. Application: I apply one dropper full to my face and neck morning and night. I let dry on my face and then apply moisturizer. It does make my skin feel a bit sticky and tight before moisturizer application. Results: The most important part! I feel like this serum, in combination with my moisturizer routine, has reduced my smile lines around my mouth. I was just beginning to have lingering lines after I smiled and I feel like they have lessened. The big change however has been with the tone and texture of my skin. My skin tone has evened and the texture of my skin is smoother. I honestly didn’t notice that it was a problem until it improved with this product. The price point is so good with this and I feel like I’m getting just as good of results as I did while using very expensive R&F products. It isn’t a magic potion, but it does seem to help, which is all I was asking.

VERY STRONG. USE SPARINGLY. This product is amazing, but only if you use it the way your skin needs it! I burned my face with this multiple times before finally getting the hang of it. I resisted the urge to quit and spent a couple months figuring out what makes my sensitive combination skin happy. I have adult hormonal acne and hyperpigmentation, very pale, and I have ehlers-danlos so my skin is extremely reactive. If you're new to retinol, here's some tips: -Only apply retinol to the whole face 1 or 2 times a week -Only apply at night, never use retinol in the AM -Invest in a quality sunscreen, retinol increases UV sensitivity -Retinol products WILL make your skin PURGE when you first start using. This means any little underground blackheads and red dots will start to surface. DO. NOT. PICK. THEM. DO NOT USE EXTRACTION TOOLS. Trust me. -For bigger pimples, apply this as a spot treatment no more than once per evening. If you don't pick, they will clear up within a couple of days. -Do NOT combine this serum with other spot treatments or acne treatments like sulfur or benzoyl peroxide, or tea tree oil, etc. -Do NOT use with other cleansers or lotions with salicylic acid or retinol. This product is already a chemical exfoliant as it contains both retinol and salicylic acid. -Use water based lotions and sensitive skin cleansers while using this product. CeraVe is good, I like Burt's Bee's Sensitive Cotton Extract Cream Cleanser for washing and Burt's Bee's Sensitive Aloe water based lotion. Avoid products with fragrance and alcohol! For all over face and neck: I mix 2 drops with 2 pumps of the Burt's Bee's lotion (approved by the eczema foundation). This is called "buffering" and brings down the potency of retinol products. I buffer 1 or 2 times a week. When my hormonal acne flares up along my jawline, I put 1 drop in my hand and use my fingertip to very gently tap the product directly onto each pimple. I use this method once each night until the pimples are dried and scabbed & the inflammation is down. Then I cut back to once every other day or every 3 days until the scars fade. Do NOT pick the scabs! Just keep tapping the tiniest tiniest amount, the scabs will fall off on their own in just 2 or 3 days. My routine is this: 1) remove any makeup with makeup remover as needed. Wash 2 times with Burt's Bees cream cleanser. Pat dry. 2) apply Thayer's alcohol free facial toner. And let dry for about 5-10 minutes. I like the plain scent. It's extremely effective and soothing. Thayer's is pure witch hazel with aloe vera and glycerin. Make sure it's the alcohol free kind. 3) apply 2-3 drops of this serum as needed, whether it's the whole face, or spot treatment only. 4) Wait 20 or so minutes and finish with unscented water based lotion (if you aren't buffering with lotion already) As your skin purges and adjusts, resist the urge to scrub and exfoliate the dead skin/surfacing breakouts. If your face peels, be patient and gentle. Let the dry skin peel like a sunburn, and continue to apply lotion throughout the day as needed. If you absolutely must, use a soft wash cloth and lukewarm water to gently scrub. Rinse with cold water and apply fresh aloe vera or the Thayer's witch hazel + aloe toner immediately after. This product has made a notable difference in the texture of my skin, it has shrunk my pores, and faded my acne scars. I don't have many fine lines, but it cleared up the ones in my forehead. I don't use it near my eyes because it has tea tree oil. My hormonal acne clears up within days instead of lingering for a week or two. I hope this review helps other babies like me with angry + sensitive skin. Good luck! Don't forget sunscreen!

UPDATE: I'm on my 2nd bottle and I still love this product. Through all the pricey skincare and especially serums I've tried, nothing has come close to this. Its phenomenal and I cant believe what you get for the price. If you're thinking about buying... just do it. Please. Your skin will thank you. Make sure to do research on ingredients and not just ingredients alone, but formulations and combinations. Do not rely on this alone. Make it a part of a skin care regimen that you do religiously 2x a day. No matter your age you skin will thank you. At 33 I needed something to clear my hormonal breakouts without overdrying or fighting with any other products I used for aging skin. This has so many benefits. The smell is just like tea tree oil but I happen to love natural scents. I cant say enough good and I am so grateful for this company making it easily available on Amazon and easily affordable. You shouldnt have to take out a 2nd mortgage for nice skin. Good luck everyone. I cannot say enough good about this product. I use it gaily since buying and it has been the best thing for my skincare other than sunscreen. This is amazing. It has everything in one serum that is fine or sensitive dry or damaged skin. I am in awe. After a few days of use I cut back on makeup. Now I hardly wear it. I've gotten compliments on my skin. I gave the product list to an aesthetician friend of mine who was familar with the product already and gave it glowing reviews and said the ingredients were great. I cannot believe they sell this for the price they do but please dont change it Eva Naturals lol it's part of the beauty of this product. I've tried other products from them just because of how awesome this stuff is and they've never disappointed, but this is my all time fave. To fight acne, wrinkles, dryness, pores size, brightness, dullness, hyperpigmentation, redness all with one serum? I'm in. For about15$? I must remembered I wanted to write a review on this after I gave it some time to work... I saw an article in Instyle magazine online that came up on my Google homepage and i was like omg i have to write this so that is anyone sees it who was on the fence like i was can take the plunge. Please try this. Any and all skin types and colors. Especially more mature skin with combination skin issues or anyone who wants to do preventative care. It's a GREAT and essential add on for your skincare routine. Remeber that it works best cumulatively, which means regular every day use. Best of luck out there you beautiful people! * who will be eve more gorgeous with this serum! Lol I swear I'm not sponsored. I'll add before and after pics soon, I need to find a before pic with no foundation.

As I have previously said, the smell is so bad I just could not use it anymore. I have stopped using it. Otherwise, the product itself is very nice, it goes on very smoothly and feels wonderful on your skin after applying it. At first, I used it on my face and neck areas and you do not need lot of it , you just need small amount for both areas and my skin felt very smooth and silky; however, after a few applications, I don't know why but, it started to really smell badly and I could no longer use it. I do know one thing it has nothing to do with how and where I keep the product. My house is always around 72 degrees constant temperature and I keep it in the closet where I have all of my other products as well and they are just fine. Anyway, This products smell made me wanted to vomit as soon as I opened it. A very strange smell and I have smelled anything like it to be honest. So, this is the truth. I received the product a while ago and I just started to use it a week ago because I just finished using a another product but, I have heard so many good things about vitamin C products so, I decided to purchase some of the items. And one of the items that I purchased is vitamin C cleansing product which I use and I love it and I use it every day and it doesn't smell so, I don't understand about this product. Seller, I believe, it has past the 30 day return date, but is there a way that I could return the item? Maybe we do an exchange and also make an exception since I just started to use the item. Please let me know and thank you. I am sorry about the review but I had to be honest. Mrs. Sara Aberle

It’s time to clean out the medicine cabinet from all the promised lotions and potions that state and claim that they’ll work. We all know that we’ve spent countless amounts, I know that I did. I think I found the perfect serum for everything ladies — at least it’s doing the job for me. Ingredients: Not only does this serum do the trick with fine lines, fades dark spots and helps prevent sun damage because of the 2% retinol, it moisturizes, holds the moisture in your skin throughout the day and plumps up your skin because of the hylauronic acid. For me it keeps any adult breaks outs at bay since it has salicylic acid in it. I’ve done some research and found that MSM strengthen keratin and reduces inflammation since inflammation causes wrinkles (sugar and sodium). Also niacimide is a big plus for enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, fines lines/wrinkles (also like retinol), dullness and weakened surfaces. Vitamin c helps protect from sun damage too. It’s a win win ladies! Consistency: I asked questions to reviewers about if this product was really watery. In my opinion it’s a milky white, almost aloe-like substance. So it’s not exactly like runny, runny like water. Application: I have “clean freshly-washed hands” w/soap, then shake the bottle and dispense one dropper full into my palm. I immediately put the cap back on while the product is still in my palm so not to spill the bottle over. One dropper full is used for my entire face, eyelids and décolleté, I then put the residual onto the top of my hands. I’m stating to wash your hands since some reviewers stated that it made them break out?! This could be since they have to get acclimated to the product or perhaps they’re over doing they’re cleansing routine. Fragrance: I just lovvvve it!!! In my opinion, it’s an aromatherapy scent somewhat resembling a witch hazel and eucalyptus fragrance which is very calming and tranquil. Besides, it quickly dissipates with no lingering odor. BTY, witch hazel also shrinks pores :) Stinging: Zero for me, because I’m seasoned since I’ve been using retinol products for some time now along with 20% glycolic at home peels (from Amazon). Nice! Feeling: To me, it goes on very light and smooth. I don’t agree with other reviewers that state it’s sticky and pills. Rapid dry as well, less than a minute I’d say. I always wear make up: no liquid, just powder, eyeshadow, liner and mascara daily and I don’t experience any pilling from this product. Everything glides on for me nicely. I wasn’t paid to write this review and I’m over the moon that I found my new favorite anti-aging facial product especially since I live in Florida! I’ve only went through one bottle and I can see a nice difference in half the time. My favorite part of this product is the reduction of fine lines, the minimizing of dark spots and the moisturizing aspect! Now I just added Eva Natural 2.5 % Retinol Serum to my repertoire! I haven’t tried it yet and I’m sure I won’t be disappointed. I’m 55 years old and I found the “bottle of youth”! Keep your Fabulous Products Coming! Thank you Eva Naturals!

I’m about to give a lengthy but informative review because I love it so much and I love when people tell me what has worked for them! Acne has never been a problem for me however the past 2 years I’ve been getting a little bit of hormonal acne on my chin area and have searched high and low for products that will reduce these and also give my skin a vibrant complexion of and even glow. This is actually the first ‘serum’ I have ever used but I am hooked for life. It smells like I’m at a spa and leaves my skin feeling and looking absolutely radiant. It’s only been about a week since I’ve been using it but it’s part of my daily routine and I can see the changes in my skin looking so healthy! I don’t use it at night because I have other products I’ve been using but I’m just going to break down everything I use on a daily basis incase others are curious on what other products really work because I always appreciate when others do this: Morning 1. Wash face with either Neutrogena Acne Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub or Yes to Grapefruit Daily Face Scrub (I just really love the smell of grapefruit). I use these anytime I wash my face and really just alternate between them. 2. Apply the Eva Vitamin C serum and let dry for about 15 minutes 3. Apply Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion (my mom and grandmom have been using this for decades and it truly is amazing) 4. Apply Clinique All About the Eyes under my eyes just for an added boost for fine lines sometimes Evening/Night 1. I LOVE FACE MASKS. I’ve tried so many but I have officially found some I’m obsessed with. I do my clay masks and noise pore strips about 2x a week. My favorite mask right now is from Amazon called New York Biology Dead Sea Mud Mask and it seriously is so relaxing and magic on my face. I apply it with these magical silicone brushes from an Amazon brand called Opiqcey. Let it sit for about 20 minutes. It reeeeeally open up my pores and gets them ready to get tackled (also leaves my skin so soft). Side note, applying the mask after you take a hot shower is the best. 2. Immediately after the face mask I use the Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips from Amazon (they have face and nose ones), leave one for 15ish minutes and then you truly get to see all the gunk that’s on your face!! Recently started using this brand and am in awe. 3. Apply Curology (this is where you could use the Eva serum instead). I’ve been using it for about 4 months and I’ve only had 1-2 small chin acne breakouts so I’m sticking to my nightly routine. Also evens out my complexion so I seriously couldn’t recommend it enough (does purge your skin for the first 1-2 months so don’t be alarmed). 4. Apply Curology moisturizer (or any moisturizer) 5. Apply Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair under my eyes (this has reeeeeally reduced fine lines, sun damage and dark circles) Like I said, these are just the things that have worked for me and yes I use a lot right now but I find it super beneficial and relaxing!! Couldn’t recommend the Eva serum enough and I would recommend using it day and night!

Benutze es seit zwei Wochen, anfangs ca 2Tage hat es auf den Wangen etwas gebrannt das hat dann nachgelassen. Ich kann definitiv feststellen das es etwas mit der Haut bewirkt, die Haut fühlt sich etwas gespannt an und momentan habe ich ein paar trockene Stellen im Gesicht die aber auch weniger werden. Ich weiß das man grade bei Retinol etwas länger warten muss bis die Haut sich daran gewöhnt hat und man am Ende das Ergebnis sehen kann. Ich kann auch jetzt nach zwei Wochen Anwendung (täglich morgends abends/ Sonnenschutz nicht vergessen!) eine positive Veränderung sehen und spüren. Ich werde es wieder kaufen.

Please do not stop making this wonderful serum. I used to use a similar one some years back and the company changed the recipe, it no longer had the salicylic acid in it, I have been without it for maybe 5 years now. This was a disaster as far as my skin was concerned. About 10 days ago, I discovered this brand. While the UK reviews here on Amazon are underwhelming, do read the ones on Amazon.com, I concur with those. In a week my skin has turned around dramatically. Sadly, this morning I picked my bottle up but I had clearly had not screwed the lid on last night after applying it at bedtime, it dropped and went everywhere in my bathroom. I have come to order another bottle and it reminded I should write a review that this is a great product. I am 61, I do not suffer from breakouts, but had greasy sallow skin in my youth, which has left some open pores, and this serum closes them up. I was also a sun worshipper when younger and have some sunspots. This serum does all that is required to make my skin glow, retinol for fine wrinkles & sun damage, salicylic acid to close and tighten my open pores while speeding up cell renewal plus vitamin C for glow and free radical protection. Please note, I normally allow at least 12 weeks to see how a new product works, so that it has time to work through the renewal of skin cells coming to the surface. I can after a week see this is what my skin loves and there is a definite turnaround in how it is looking, I, therefore, expect after 12 weeks when all cells have come to the surface & grown & regenerated when using this serum, to see a great end result. There is very little scent, it does not sting or nip, despite the fact I use a light glycolic toner before its use, and it sinks into my skin easily before I apply my other products. I am so pleased to have found this serum.

Very good product. Good value for money. Had a bout of dry skin for several months and tried many serums n face creams to no avail. After reading so many positive feedback comments, I thought why no give this a try and it has helped to brighten my complexion and smoothen out the bumps n dryness. Give it a try n you will not regret it!! 6 stars !!!

El producto llegó antes de lo esperado y en excelentes condiciones, no tiene caja pero venía sellado y con protección plástica. Me gusta mucho como me deja la piel, he notado en solo 8 días algo de reducción de manchitas pequeñas y claras, así que espero que siga trabajando bien. Eso sí no huele muy bonito, huele como a muchas hierbas en caldo 😂 pero el olor se quita en cuanto se seca y no da problemas. Es un olor muy "natural" por decirlo de algún modo. En general me parece un muy buen producto.

I’ve been using this Vitamin C serum for over a year now, and it has made my skin feel soft and smooth. I haven’t experienced any breakouts, which is a big plus for me. The scent is mild and not overpowering. Overall, I would definitely recommend it and plan to repurchase it.
