Gleamin 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

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.

My go-to serum. Does the job.

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.

I love this serum. It has made my skin brighter with consistency.
