Effective and non irritating
This is very runny like water in consistency but if you are careful its fine. Good price, lovely quality, not irritating and I can wear it on my neck+under my eyes. I can wear it often and see my skin is brighter. The dropper works well and you only need a tiny it to cover the face+neck. Smells nice too!

It's a shame this is 20mls instead of 30mls, although well formulated
This is a well-formulated 15% EAA serum, most EAA serums are waterless using propanediol as a base the result is a sticky formula which I found comedogenic. e.g. the sticky formulas were Ordinary, Niod and facetheory, in all of these cases I threw the product away within 1-2 weeks. This is a water-based EAA that is fast absorbing, non-comedogenic and gentle. I had no stinging sensation despite the use of tretinoin 0.05% three times a week in the evening. I use the vitamin C in the morning. My main issue is result is slower than with L-ascorbic, but that is for all derivatives of vitamin C, so you need to be patient. I used this product on its own for about two weeks, but I have started layering it over the G and G 15% LAA. This combo is giving me brightness and glow. I layer because I find 15% LAA does not take care of the hyperpigmentation like 20% LAA. In my opinion, EAA is the best derivative so far, 2nd option is SAP. Cons : Since they already have a 10% EAA, why not make a 20% EAA instead 15% EAA 20mls is just too small - will get less than one month of use if using daily This is the best EAA formulation. I have purchased 2nd bottle, and will purchase my 3rd to have as a backup

Repeat purchase
I love this serum and I have repurchased many times as it works very well for my skin. I am not a fan of classic vitamin c serums as they don't play well with other ingredients and are often irritating but this one uses a derivative (3-0 ethyl ascorbic acid) mixed with vitamin E and ferulic acid. It contains fullerenes, very interesting ingredient you don't find often. Price is good as well. I removed a star because every time I buy it it is always near its expiration date which doesn't sit right me. Although the product seems good and not spoilt, you shouldn't sell products that are a few month away (sometimes weeks ) from expiring.

Very Bad on skin, I need refund
VERY BAD… I tried this product last year I had really bad reactions but I had just been back from a holiday so I wasn’t sure what was the cause.. so I stopped using the product to avoid further reactions… and now I decided to try it again and I had same exact reaction as the first time I tried it…. Tiny rashes, dry skin, itchy and puff eyes… omg I am in pain it took me a long time to heal last year and now again.. I don’t normally give reviews but people need to rethink this product, the pic with the AirPod is my skin currently.. the other two are when I first tried the product last year when I got it and how it dried up… pls don’t scratch your face you will end up with the black scars 🙃🥲

No breakouts, the best vitamin c serum in the market!
I completely fell in love with this product and i have now repurchased at least 3 times and I will continue to do so as its the only vitamin c serum I find that actually works nicely on my skin giving it nice natural glow when applied in the morning. Easy application, quite watery consistency that requires a little bit getting used to but apart from this a stable step in my morning skincare routine. No breakouts either which is a plus.

Good
Works great on oily skin, because its not oily itself. Works very slowly but it works. Definitely not value for money because it runs out very fast. Doesn't go even a month.

ممتاز والتركيز بطل
ممتاز في التفتيح ولا يسبب تهيج بس تاكدوا للبشرة الحساسة ممكن ما تتحمل التركيز العالي علما استخدمته لايدي لكن تاكسد بعد فترة بسيطة

Valeur sûre
J'ai essayé ce sérum sans vraiment connaître la marque mais je ne suis pas déçue du tout. J'en suis à mon deuxième flacon. Mon visage est beaucoup moins terne et les irrégularités disparaissent petit à petit. N'hésitez pas, je le recommande vraiment.

Amazing value and excellent quality
Just as effective as SkinCeuticals. I'm probably seeing more efficacy with Minimalist than SkinCeuticals, probably because the price point allows me to use it more generously. I'm seeing the same results in terms of brightness. I'm probably never going to go back to SkinCeuticals. I'm glad I discovered Minimalist and The Ordinary. Both brands are just as good as high-end products, at least the ones I've used so far. FYI, I'm treating dull, aging, dry skin with minimal wrinkles, but crepeness under the eyes and large pores in the nose and apples of the cheeks. I'm using this in the daytime by layering with a peptide serum, an alphahydroxy serum, and a moisturizer with marula oil. It's unscented, but it doesn't have that funky hot-dog water smell ferulic acid is supposed to have, but it still seems to be working. I have had no irritation or issues since switching.
