I've tried at least five
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've tried at least five different "Vitamin C Serums" from different brands, and this one is the best. Immediate glow, soaks in to dry within a couple minutes, lasting smoothness and feels like my face has a great protective shield.

I have been a regular
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a regular user of Mario Badescu's Vitamin C Serum for over 10 years. It is a great product, and keeps my skin tone even and well moisturized. It is especially nice to use this with a guy she tool to massage my face and neck and keep fine lines and wrinkles at bay. Most of the time, I use this before applying Seaweed Night Cream, but in the summer months, I skip the night cream and just use the serum before bed. This is great to moisturize without being too heavy and oily for my combination skin. I just love this product!
