Packaging: A Dropper - Beauty expert, Paula Begoun, Notes:
“This serum is dispensed via a dropper applicator. Although not the ideal method to dispense a serum that contains light- and air-sensitive ingredients, sometimes this type of packaging is necessary due to formulary requirements. When that’s the case, the goal is to keep the bottle opening as small as possible, the bottle should be opaque or specially coated to protect the contents from light, and you should use the serum up within three months of opening.”
FEEDBACK
PInkyPrIss Review: After a week of trying out this serum, my skin is younger-looking. My wrinkles have softened on my forehead and mouth. My skin feels firmer. The biggest benefit in using this serum is that it is providing me with the ultimate protection that will help prevent future skin damage and fight the signs of aging. Many users have reported getting tons of complements on their skin's complexion and tone after using this serum as it does decrease hyperpigmention, which evens skin tone. This is an excellent option for a Vitamin C serum, as it contains 15% vitamin C in the form of L-Ascorbic Acid, the most stable form..
