Vichy LiftActiv Vitamin C Serum | Old Version | Brightening & Anti Aging Serum for Face with 15% Pure Vitamin C | Skin Firming & Antioxidant Facial Serum for Brightness & Moisturizing | 0.34 Fl. Oz

I've been slowly fading away acne scars and hyperpigmentation and have been looking to clear my skin tone with Vitamin C. I found this from a recommendation from Dr.Dray on YouTube along with other dermatologists touting it's effectiveness and prepared for the worst of the possible side effects. And so far, it's helped to calm a particularlly aggressive acne scar. A little tip to make the most out of serums is to add your 4-5 drops onto the BACK of your hand, use it as a plate for which you pick up product to apply to your face, and then rub the leftover serum to the backs of your hands. I haven't featured photos of my face because I wanted to showcase only the vitamin C. I WISH I took "before" pictures of my hands because for my 24 years alive, I've always had hand freckles, no matter the season. I've only been using vitamin C, a very basic lotion, and sunscreen on my hands and in about a week, they've faded! I first noticed this on my left hand (yes, the driving hand that gets the most sun) and I'm now working on my right. I have oily/eczema prone skin that's used to using active ingredients like AHAs, retinoids, benzoyl peroxide etc, so I didn't have any reaction to this except for a slight tingle the first few days of use.15% vitamin C may be too high for someone just starting to use active ingredients. I store this in a closed shelf away from sunlight to not degrade the product. I wish it didn't come in a dropper form so that oxygen and possible bacteria don't get into the bottle, for hygiene and also to keep the efficacy.

I love putting it on my skin. It smells nice it's light on your skin the skin feels hydrated and soft may be slightly plumbed. Does not do anything to find lines or wrinkles. Also does not take away any sun damage I think the best option is to save up to go to a dermatologist to help with sun damage. But it's hydrating.

I saw a dermatologist on Youtube who said one only needs to put on 3 things after cleansing the face: vitamin C serum + sunscreen in the morning, and retin-A cream at night. He recommended brand products. This was one of them. I tried it and my skin likes it. I don't break out, keeps my skin soft and there's that brightening effect I think because my cousins notice my 50 year old face looks fresher (their words). Remember to wear sunscreen. This is vitamin C, which can burn. Remember what happens to lemon juice on paper over heat? It browns easily. I only use 6-7 drops, either directly on my face or my palm. Just spread it quickly as soon as it hits your face or palm. I've dropped all other gunk I put on my face and only use this, sunscreen and retin-A cream.

I wanted to order again and Amazon said I bought this, which I did but it suggested the wrong size. I ordered the 20ml before but ordered the 10ml by mistake this time because Amazon said I bought before. However I see that the price difference was only like $2-3 for for extra 10ml. I want to return but can’t because apparently it’s “flammable” so I can’t return. Be careful which size you’re ordering. And overall, the product is okay. I don’t see much differences. It does have a funky smell. It’s orange in color and like water. I just wanted to try it again to really see if it works. I’ll pass next time.

I use it mostly under my eyes for my dark circles and it works well, and I’m black
