DOWN and DIRTY DETAILS

Key Ingredient(s): This water-based serum treats skin to two forms of vitamin C along with the antioxidant vitamin E. It is enriched with green tea extract and sodium hyaluronate to nurture and nourish:
  • Vitamin C - in general, is a collagen boosting antioxidant vital for glowing skin. It is anti-inflammatory, controls oil, hydrates, lightens discoloration, wards off free-radicals, produces healthy collagen and healthy collagen equals plumper skin.
  • Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate - is very stable, safe, and non-irritating form of Vitamin C—the key to production of collagen. It maximizes the protective properties of Vitamin C by retaining its effectiveness over time. Use alone or together with Vitamin E and Hyaluronic Acid, can provide an effective antioxidant combination that reduces the formation of free radicals and stimulates collagen synthesis (which slows down with aging). Additionally, it can help to improve the appearance of skin as it can lessen the appearance of photo-damage and age spots.
Other Ingredients:
  • Vitamin E - which is known to increase the efficacy of vitamin C.
  • Orange extract - supports natural cell turnover and purifies. 
  • Grapefruit - extract brightens with antiseptic and aromatic qualities.
  • Rose hips - seed extract heals, repairs damage, and soothes. 
  • Ester-C (Calcium Ascorbate) - is a highly stable natural form of vitamin C found naturally in the body.
  • *This serum also contains artificial coloring agents, which aren't helpful for anyone's skin.

Fragrant Scent: Sweet Orange Scent - I have read this contains several potentially irritating synthetic fragrance compounds and an irritating plant extract.
Coverage: Spreads Easily - It glides across face achieving great coverage; so a little goes a long way.
Complexion: Gorgeously Luminous - Not only do I have a glowing complexion, but I even look more youthful. It's amazing how even-toned my skin is!
Finish: Smooth Penetration - Product penetrates the dermis quickly, and your skin's texture is left feeling smooth and hydrated.
Results: Radiant glow - After a few weeks of use, my skin seems more plump and taught. My skin appears to be significantly healthier looking; I mean it's glowing isn't it!
Packaging: Clear Glass Pump - The clear glass bottle packaging lowers my rating for this product. As you may know, sunlight breaks-down ingredients, making them significantly less potent.

MORE INFORMATION:
Though I may love the glow I get from this product I am sure there are better options available. Expert Paula Begoun mentions a few of them below:

"If you are interested in vitamin C for your skin, lines such as Skinceuticals, MD Skincare by Dr. Dennis Gross, and Paula's Choice outpace this by miles. Henriksen needs to improve both formula and packaging before his vitamin C serum can join the ranks of the best in this category."          -Paula Begoun (Beautypedia)

FEEDBACK
PInkyPrIss Reviews: I use this product regularly, like every single day! It is worth buying simply for the amazing glow. I can't live without it an I am currently on my third bottle. I keep this product in a dark drawer so the ingredients remain potent and don't degrade from sunlight. In summary, this product hydrates, smooths, and protect your skin. It truly does give you even toned and radiant complexion.
