[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This serum definitely hydrated and smoothed from the first application. It has improved the texture of my skin and the appearance. I'm not sure it's really brightened my complexion but it does have a pleasant smell.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this product daily for about a month, so it's hard to tell what the long term effects would be. I usually use Skinceuticals CE ferulic and this is a great alternative to what I feel is the gold standard of Vit C. I like this packaging, it is protected from light and stays fresh. I wish there was a way for it to stand upright next to my other skincare. This has 10% ascorbic acid which is the best form of Vit C. In addition to the Vit C it also contains ceramides, Vit B5 and hyaluronic acid. The formulation glides onto the skin and makes it feel smooth right away. I find that it can tend to pill with certain makeup I use though, which is frustrating and leaves me doubting if it's actually sinking into my skin or sitting on top. Overall, I think this is a great alternative if you're looking for Vit C serum and don't want to shell out the big $$ for other brands.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using the CeraVe Vit C serum, I did notice my skin felt healthy and youthful. The packaging was a little messy with the tube but not a huge problem. I did immediately notice the smell of during alcohol the first time using it and that didn't settle too well for me. But in the end, the product did work. I'm looking forward to trying it a bit longer to see better results.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried numerous men's grooming subscription boxes - all claiming to know men's skin through a streamlined and convenient box that covers every skincare need for men. One thing didn't work out for me - the scent. CeraVe skincare product line is perfect for me as most of their skincare line is fragrance-free and focuses on the basics of skincare. The new CeraVe Skin Renewing Vitamin C Serum is one step into the advanced skincare but really, it is a necessity. I have relied on sunscreen products alone in protecting my skin but I completely ignored the basic vitamin C needs of my face and pairing Vitamin C and sunscreen care completes my morning routine. Protect and nourish your skin from within. As much as you want to shield your face from the UV rays, feed it with vitamin C to get that visible brightness and additional antioxidant properties to restore and create a protective skin barrier for on the go adventures. I would definitely buy this product! I am ready to incorporate it into my morning skincare routine as I have seen positive results so far. Highly recommended!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried using just because I was already using Cerave products. It has a nice smooth texture. Soon after applying it, I have a nice glow on my face. On it's own it's fine, but once you put another product on top it starts clumping up. I only use this product when I'm not going out and stay home for that reason. I have noticed a slight change to my skin in the few weeks I've been using this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This serum is light and leaves a very pleasant feeling on my skin, like soft and smooth skin. Another important fact is that it doesn't make my skin oily, I have a hard time using vitamin C on my skin and this one really worked perfectly.

it seems to be working (skin is softer brighter and firmer) but the smell is bad. it smells on my face for quite a while. my hands also smell for a while even after washing. the smell is somewhere between metallic and old cooking oil. i've seen several reviews about the smell so i guess this is normal. it's also yellowish and haven't been able to determine whether that is normal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vitamin C serum comes in great packaging so it doesn't lose its effectiveness. It is super lightweight and did not make me break out, which is always a win. It leaves skin soft, not greasy, and goes well under makeup.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this serum for over a week and have already noticed my skin looking brighter. I've used a handful of other vitamin C serums before and this one definitely hits the mark. I also like that while the packaging isn't sexy, it is that way because it protects the product from oxidization.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a bit hesitant because I have super sensitive skin. But this stuff is literally God Sent!! My face has never looked better! This serum has helped brighten up the skin under my eyes. A little goes a long way! I will continue to use this Vitamin C Serum as a part of my skin regimen. Very impressed.
