I am surprised to see denatured alcohol on the ingredients list of this serum since cerave seems to cater to people with sensitive skin. This type of alcohol can be very irritating and drying to people with sensitive skin like mine. I've noticed this ingredient in many of cereve's new products. I'm sad I won't be able to use them.

Cerave Vitamin C Serum truly works! I love it because it not only fades my dark spots, but leaves my overall facial skin looking smooth and healthy. AND the tube has a shelf life (once opened) of 6 months, unlike so many other brands of Vitamin C which have a very short shelf-life. I find this product to be very economical as well since the small tube used once daily (in the morning) will last a good 4 months (sometimes even longer), as a little goes a long way. I even apply a dab to pesky dark spots on my neck and hands. The fading is gradual but definite. I am truly a big fan of Cerave Vitamin C Serum!

The packaging of this C Serum is perfect. I noted That First, when looking around the CeraVe aisle. This is crucial for stability the of the ingredients. I went ahead and purchased this C Serum, and could not be more pleased with the results. In the past I have only used "high end" serums, moisturizers and such.\ Not any more...I'm in on the entire CreaVe line of products!!

Was the recipe for this recently changed as well ? I have been using all the products from the purple Cerave line for years, but I have been extremely disappointed with my most recent refills. Like the day cream with SPF, the vit C serum is different in both texture and especially smell in a bad way. It's now thicker, greasier and has a very strong/artificial/sugary smell. Hoping they just dropped the perfume bottle in their most recent batch because I'm already looking for substitutes.

My husband, who hardly ever notices anything, told me out of the blue one day my skin looked “glowy” after using this Vitamin C serum (in conjunction with the CeraVe daily moisturizer) for a few weeks. If that doesn't deserve a 5 star rating, I don't know what does!

This is the best Vitamin C Serum I've used, and I've tried a few of them. I love the texture and how it absorbs into my skin easily. My skin also looks brighter and clearer. The only con is the packaging. The lid gets a little messy. I wish it was more of a pump bottle.

This Vitamin C serum didn't do much for my skin unlike some of the more potent ones on the market (15-20% L-ascorbic acid). Honestly, I would love to see niacinamide in this as well, since I know CeraVe uses niacinamide in quite a few other of their products. And for those with really dry and sensitive skin, we prefer seeing a fatty alcohol instead of an astringent one on the ingredients list. Also, the packaging design is not great either. With Vitamin C being so unstable, I really don't think this is the most efficient packaging. It also leaks everywhere out of the cap. I definitely think there should be improvements to this product before I try it again or recommend it to a friend.

I am so disappointed. I wanted to try a new vitamin C serum and I thought I couldn't go wrong by purchasing one from Cerave as I love all of their products. The packaging is great, because it protects the serum from oxidation. I started slow, as I do with any new product, so I decided to use the serum every other day for the the first 2 weeks. The first issue I had was that the product caused pilling of my moisturizer and makeup. I tried 2 different moisturizers to see if I could find a good combination, but to no avail. This in itself makes the product unusable. Currently, my face has broken out all over. I rarely even get a pimple and I haven't changed my face regiment other than adding this product. What a waste. Be careful if you start this product and you have a big event coming up!

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. I started getting a lot of break outs around my cheek area and they would leave dark spots and I was so insecure and then I started using this with my skin care routine and it evened my skin tone! I recommend this to everyone every time they ask for my routine! Plus a little goes a LONG way. I have eczema and I get flare ups on my neck and it has never flared it up when I apply it there!

I love this serum. I used a much more expensive vitamin c serum and was hoping this would provide similar results while being gentle and more affordable. It is! Immediately gives you a glow and helps keep your skin vibrant and hydrated over time. I use it while my skin is still damp and then put lotion over it. Recommended.
