15% Vitamin C Facial Serum - with 3% Tranexamic Acid, 4% Niacinamide and Bakuchiol - For Uneven Tone, Post-Blemish Visibly Brighten & Texture | Fragrance Free - 1 FL OZ

I’ve been trying out the Gleamin Vitamin C Serum for my uneven skin tone and those leftover blemish marks. It’s all natural, which is great because it doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. The serum is light, absorbs quickly, and isn’t greasy. My skin is definitely looking brighter and more even since I started using it.

The product is great, but below is my concern; Hi there, this is the third time buying this serum. For the first time, the serum was like like dark chocolate and it was kinda smelling. As it was my first time, I thought maybe that was its color, but it started causing me itchy face and I threw it away. For the second time, it was perfect and helpful. Now, the recent purchase, I got an expired item again, I bought before I ran out that’s why I’m realizing this a little bit late. It has a foul smell.

Okay, so the lid is on quite tight but you just need to pull up on it to expose the pump applicator. The serum itself is a pleasant texture, a little tacky as most Vitamin C serums are, but it doesn’t finish tacky. I wash my face, use the serum, and then apply Squalane oil. It appears brighter immediately after using, but after a few days of using it, my face was red and painful. This has a 15% vitamin c content, and sensitive skin is usually best with 10%. I did not deduct a star since my skin type doesn’t determine the efficacy of the product for those it was designed for.

Since I’ve been using the clay mask and serum, I have noticed that the dark spots on my face are starting to lighten. My skin is clearer and brighter. I was using Clarins Double Serum before, but this is a lot more effective and more affordable.

My go-to serum. Does the job.
