First time I used this, it felt like water, no scent, and nothing special. I kept using it each day after I washed my face & before I put my moisturizer on.

Love this serum! My dermatologist recommended that I start using vitamin C as part of a daily anti-aging regimen and to even my skin tone. I had been using a popular drugstore brand for a couple of months, and it left my skin a bit oily. This TruSkin serum has a thicker consistency, and it does not have the yellowish color that I have found in other brands. My skin looks brighter after applying it, and it pairs well with a good SPF moisturizer. Would definitely recommend it over some other products I have tried for 2-3 times the price. - Andrea R.

My only suggestion is the directions on the back of the bottle were a bit difficult to read (with my older eyes), so I would make the lettering bolder, to make it easier to read the white lettering. - Becky S.

I will be honest — I was skeptical about this serum, but after a couple of weeks, I can see the difference under my eyes. I had less noticeable dark bags under my eyes. - Sue H.

I liked the pump bottle vs. the normal jar most products like this come in. I am happy with how smooth my skin feels after using this. I put it on before bed nightly. I haven't seen a visible decrease in wrinkles, but it definitely feels smother. - Kristen G.
