Dr.AltheaGentle Vitamin C Serum | Benefits Skin Tone and Pigmentation | Gentle on Skin For Even Skin Tone | Korean Vegan Skin Care for All Skin Types | 30ml

Excellent product, my eyes are really hydrated and dark circles have diminished slightly

This is a review of 'Dr.Althea Gentle Vitamin C Serum | Benefits Skin Tone and Pigmentation | Gentle on Skin For Even Skin Tone | Korean Vegan Skincare for All Skin Types | 30ml'.This is a vitamin C serum with the active ingredient 3-0-ethyl ascorbic acid (vitamin c) and hippophae rhamnoides fruit extract (which is a fruit high in vitamin c). It also has niacinamide which has similar brightening and pigment reducing ingredients as vitamin c. I find this to be a very gentle but still brightening vitamin c serum. The best thing about it is that it doesn't have that typical vitamin c smell which can sometimes linger on the skin. It has no scent at all, which is great. The texture is also a light gel serum texture which absorbs into the skin quickly. It isn't heavy or greasy which would make this a great option for acne prone or congested skin. My only slight criticism would be that it sometimes comes out of the pipette slightly lumpy. I can't work out why this is but the lumps blend into the skin easily so it's not too much of an issue. Overall I really like the product and will keep using it.

This is a 30ml bottle of vitamin C serum by Dr. Althea. Comes in a dark green, glass dropper bottle. Packaging comes across high quality, arrives in a branded box and there is a hygiene seal.+ Cruelty free+ Vegan+ Made in Korea! I find Korean skin products to usually be better- £19.99 for 30ml if very expensive, i usually buy mine from around £4-8+ I didn't have any irritation on my skin and I have quite sensitive skin but I have been using vitamin C for years now- I would not recommend if you are new to vitamin C as 20% is high strength and can cause irritation+ No scent, I prefer this as added scents can lead to skin irritation+ Was easy to apply+ Absorbed into skin very well+ The bottle lasted me 9 weeks of every other day use, so just over 2 monthsOverall after a few weeks of using I haven't noticed any different than the usual brands I use that are half this price. Therefore I cannot give it 5 stars as I don't feel its value for money but it works quite well for my skin it just isn't that much better that I would be willing to pay double for. I would recommend it as a vitamin C serum for sensitive skin but there are also cheaper out there that do more or less the same job. I would also like to add that this is a 20% bottle so isn't suited that well if you are not used to using vitamin C7/10Thank you for reading my review and I hope you have found it helpful

I like this Dr. Althea vitamin C serum and think it's my new favourite one. The water like consistency makes it super easy to apply, and it absorbs quickly without leaving any stickiness or oiliness on my face. It’s gentle on my skin, and I’ve already noticed a bit of improvement in my skin tone and pigmentation after using it for a little while. I recommend it if you’re looking for a light, effective vitamin C serum that won’t leave your skin feeling greasy

The best beginner and budget friendly Vitamin C. Non sticky or fragrance free. Made my skin very hydrated but I broke out the next day, not sure if that was hormonal or something to do with the product.

I have tried a number of Vitamin C serum's and this is as good as many. It is light, easy to use and doesn't make you feel sticky. Good it is vegan and cruelty free. After prolonged use my skin does appear to look better. Quite expensive, but you have to pay for good products.

I’m all for the vitamin C for skin appearance. And have tried and tested a fair few.This arrives as described and as it appears in the description.It has a non offensive low odour. Lovely bottle. Easy dispensing.This isn’t a magic wand but you can see a little differnce in the glow after using. It’s got the texture of a serum rather than a cream. But the texture doesn’t sink into the skin. Which is a good point. For me.Overall great product.

Made me break out
