Award Winning & Dermatologist Recommended Vitamin C Serum for Reduction of Fines Lines & Wrinkles. Enhances Skin Radiance, Texture and Skin Tone,White 1.0 Ounce

I have dry skin. How dry? Well, I have psoriasis, and for those who don't know what that is, (mostly) in the cold months my skin turns to scales and I become a lizard. Living in Canada, that means my skin is desert dry for 9 out of 12 months. Even in the summer, it's dry. Side note: I drink 6L of water a day, which has made my skin soft if anything. Still dry. I was growing tired of dropping so much money on products, trying to get nice skin. Then I found this product. I was iffy, even with the reviews. I mean, everything else failed. First time applying this, I knew I found the one. I wish I could put a ring on it, because just wow. The box said it will tingle, but because I rub my psoriasis raw, it more like burned. In a good way. After a week, my skin looked and felt amazing. It's still dry, but the moisture lasts for hours. I apply it after washing my face, and I'm good all day. I stopped using it for a few days because of a cold, but my skin was still hydrated up until day 2. Back to using it everyday, my skin is perfect. At night I scrub my face, dry it, and then put a thick layer of this over my face. I rub it in a little, but mostly just leave it over night. In the morning, my skin is fresh and looks awake, unlike me. I never had a really big issue with acne, so I can't comment if it clogs pores. Mine look fine.

I didn't know what to expect when I purchased this. I mainly wanted something to moisturize around my eyes after I take off eye make up. After using it at night, and the next morning, I noticed that my deep bags under my eyes minimized, and my dark circles were less prominent. It's hard to find something that would help that. Not sure if this product is suppose to aid in eye puffiness, but it sure fixed that problem for me.This is the only product I have tried that didn't make my eyes feel inflamed. I tried instanatural products for undereye dark circles, and it made my eyes feel like they were ready to explode. I will say that this product burns. After rubbing it in for 5 seconds, I felt burning. Not sure if it's because of working up heat from the rubbing, but I know this was not the manufacturers intention. And this happens every time; I use this 2x a day. I never thought my skin to be sensitive, but it apparently is so if this is the reaction I get. But I get no redness, nor blisters. Just the burning sensation if I rub it on my skin for 5 seconds or more.The smell is not something I like too much, but if you love the smell of citrus, you'll love this product. Very orange-smelling.Due to the fact that I look younger, and my long time battle for eye puffiness is now under control, I rated this product 5/5 despite my small reaction. I would definitely recommend to my friends.

use this cream regularly and am happy with it

I broke out in a rash 4 days after starting to use this serum once or twice daily. I immediately stopped use, but the rash continued to get worse. My face became bright red and was covered in itchy bumps. A couple of days later, the whole top layer of skin on my face sloughed off in huge patches, but the redness and rash remained. Neither Benadryl cream nor OTC cortisone cream had any effect. To be absolutely sure that it was the Alina serum that caused the rash, after I stopped using it on my face I applied it to my left forearm. Sure enough, a rash developed there 4 days later, even though I used it only 2-3 times (I kept forgetting that I was running the test).My primary care physician diagnosed contact dermatitis and prescribed Medrol (an oral steroid). That helped with the itching and redness, but the rash has persisted. I've had the rash on my face for five weeks now, and on my forearm for four weeks. Every time I think it's getting better, the bumps get redder and swell up. I haven't been able to use any other moisturizer or sunscreen, because it aggravates the rash. The area covered by the rash has got bigger, now creeping up above the elbow. On my primary care physician's advice, I am seeing a dermatologist next week.I have previously tried both 20% vitamin C serums with hyaluronic acid (e.g., from OZ Naturals) and never had any problems with either ingredient. I'm allergic to Neosporin but even that reaction was nowhere near as bad as the rash this serum has caused -- it faded after just a few days. This is the first time I've ever had a rash that lasted so long and would not improve day by day. I'm resigned to the fact that I may now have "sensitive skin" and will need to test new products very carefully. But the severity of my reaction to this serum means that I will not try any more Alina products. I can't risk getting a rash that lasts over a month after just 2-3 applications of a product.

I was looking for a Vit C serum and ran across this one. Product reviews were good so I decided to go with this one. First of all this serum has a great smell to it. It is a light citrus scent. It does fade after you put it on in about 15 min or so. I actually wish it would last all day because I find the smell to be uplifting. Who couldn't use that in their day! The texture is perfect. Not too thin and not too thick. I let it soak in for about 5-10 min. I follow with a moisturizer and sunscreen. Blends great with anything. Doesn't ball up makeup. It also didn't irritate my sensitive skin. If you have sensitive skin then you know how important it is to find a product that doesn't sting, burn or make your face look like a bright red fire truck! My lines on my face did start to fade after using for about 2-3 weeks as well as a few dark spots. Bonus! I did use it at night too after cleansing my face. My face was brighter and clearer with faithful use. 1 bottle lasts about 1 1/2 months for me. I did try a different Vit C serum (just because I like to try different products) which wasn't bad either, but do prefer this one much more. Will be buying this one again real soon!!!
