Renew ActivesVitamin C Face Serum – Anti-Aging Serum with Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid and Retinol for Wrinkles, Fine Lines and Dark Spots – Organic Aloe Vera Serum for Face, 2 fl oz Bottle

I have tried at least 8 different brands of vitamin C serum (from Amazon) and this one, especially price point, has worked amazingly with my skin. The texture is thick & the scent is pleasant. I have tried other serums where the viscosity was very very low, basically just plain liquid and found that over the course of a month I would develop little bumps high on my cheekbones. I didn't stop using it and continued to finish the bottle to see if it would improve. It didn't for me. When trying out new serums or product on your face it always takes time for your skin to adapt. Those ones did not work well for me. Other brands where the viscosity was higher did the same. So far, I have had this one bottle for nearly 3 months, applied morning and night...and those bumps on my cheekbones have completely disappeared. My skin is also tighter & more luminous! I will stick to this brand...it's absolutely amazing (for me).

I’ve been using vitamin C serum on my sun-damaged face and hands for the last few months and can attest that it really works to fade dark blotches. Some are gone completely and others are much-faded. Since I’ve already been doing that before trying this brand, I can’t give a before-after comparison. I can only say that the dark spots continue to fade.This one is a bit different from others. It’s much thicker (see video). When I pull out the dropper, there’s more serum stuck to the outside than there is on the inside. That’s fine, just smear it off. I assume that’s from the aloe, which my other sera don’t have. Another difference is that this contains retinol. Retinol increases sensitivity to sun, so I’ll use this only during the winter months when I’m mostly indoors. I’ll switch back to a non-retinol serum as the weather improves.As for value, this is a bit more expensive than other brands of vitamin C serum, but if you want the aloe and retinol, it would be a good choice. I do prefer this one's 2 oz bottle to the usual little 1 oz bottles for convenience.

I bought this product when the one I usually purchase was out of stock. It only comes with a droplet type suction attachment and it's much thicker and gooey then the product I usually purchase. It has a strong Citrus smell. Seems to do the job. However because of product is thicker I expect I will run out of it faster than my usual one. I was not offered any special products or offers for writing this review.

I have been using two different serums, vitamin C and retinol. I usually used one during the day at one at night. I wanted to try this one since it contains both. The serum consistency is much thicker than I'm used to. As I'm applying it to my face I feel like I'm applying orange juice because it smells just like it. This serum absorbed very quickly and was slightly tacky but I usually finish off with a moisturizer so the tackiness went away. Since I've been using vitamin c and retinol, I can't say that I'll see too much difference but my expectations is that it will maintain my current skin condition without the hassle of two different serums.

I'm really liking this serum. It goes on really nicely, smells nice and makes my skin feel and look smoother and brighter. As I'm getting closer to 50 I keep reading how important retinol and vitamin C is for skin so I figured I'd give it a try. Many products are very expensive but these are affordable and I am very happy with the results.
