Eva Naturals 10 Actives Serum – Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Turmeric, CoQ10 – Natural Anti Aging Face Serum for Dark Spots, Wrinkles, Acne, Skin Care & Facial Spot Remover

I've been using this for over a year now. I like how it feels and the price is great, and I really wish it were available on the Subscribe & Save program. (ETA it is now!)The texture is a little thicker than the C+ serum and less gel-like than the Peptide Complex or Niacinamide serums from the same brand, not watery like an essence or glidey like an oil. It's opaque and doesn't slip and drip around quite as readily as more liquidy serums, so application is a bit more controlled. It can be sticky if over-applied, but you really don't need much and when used sparingly, it dries quickly with no sheen or stickiness. I like to use 3-6 tiny dots all over my face (smaller even than the drops in my photo), and pat it in with my fingertips. At that rate a bottle lasts me 4 months or so with daily use. It seems to play nicely with my makeup, but I don't wear much of that either; with more layers to contend with, it might get goopier, but I can't really say.The smell is a little like vitamin C tablets, with no peppery note that I can detect. The color is a surprisingly bright pumpkiny orange (see update note below, the color is not always this bright!), but it smooths in as you apply and doesn't leave a tint, even on very fair skin; I haven't seen any staining or transfer, but again, I use a pretty light hand.UPDATE: I've been using this serum for a little over a year and I've gone through two bottles that I bought on Amazon, and started a third that I ordered directly from the manufacturer's website. The latter was stored in my refrigerator for a month or two prior to being opened. The new bottle contains a product with a very different color than the two before it. It's a pale, lighter-than-creamsicle orange that surprised me after the pumpkiny color of my first two Amazon bottles. I've included a photo of the products side by side on the back of my hand; dark orange is from Amazon, pale orange is directly from the Eva Naturals website. The Amazon bottle had been opened for a few months at this point, but it was the same dark orange from day one.The new bottle (light colored serum) is dated to expire a year from the time the photo was taken. The old bottle (dark colored serum) does not have a noticeable expiration date on the label at all.I don't know if they are a different formulation, if the Amazon bottles had oxidized or expired before they got to me, or if refrigeration affected the color in some way, but it's definitely worth noting. Although I got it cheaper here and didn't notice any ill effects from the darker orange formulation, I wish I knew for sure what caused the difference. I'll probably be ordering from Amazon again, but if the serum is dark or undated, I'll use the company website instead.

WOW!Let me start off by saying, I'm a cosmetologist, I only use high end (mostly organic) products, and I've done a LOT of DIY as well. So my expectations for this serum were high.I originally ordered this because I was looking for an S.A.P. vitamin C serum to replace my usual L-AA serum (which I still love, but it's very acidic so I have to follow it with a lot of other products... and lately I just don't have that kind of time in the mornings).First impression: immediate smoothing of skin, easy to apply, quickly absorbs, and I can follow it with just sunscreen if I don't have time for moisturizer and my skin still stays nicely moisturized throughout the day.After 2 weeks of daily use: visible improvement of both skin texture and tone, and any breakouts and blackheads have all but completely disappeared. FYI, I don't wear makeup so it's easy for me to monitor improvements very accurately).An EXCELLENT formulation.... And half the price of my other vitamin c serum!Also, as a bonus, I love that it had tumeric in it (I love the long term results of tumeric, but every time I add the spice to my face masks, it temporarily tints my skin orange... with this product, I get the best of both worlds). I'm also excited about the alpha arbutin, I was considering a separate serum for this active, but now I don't need it because this product kills multiple birds with one stone.Don't worry about the niacinamide reacting with the Vit C, this is only a concern for L-AA products. No skin flushing either, as proof of this.Will reorder. Again and again.

I've been using this for a month now since I received it. I don't mind the color and the thickness (I actually like the thickness of it), and it goes on quite smoothly, and absorbs quickly. I bought it hoping it'll take away my dark spots, so far though, they are still there, BUT, I've noticed my skin is a lot clearer in other areas, and more bright! I use it mostly just on my cheeks and under my eyes. Just this morning, my husband, who never notices these things, said my skin looks so nice and smooth, and bright! Not that it wasn't before, but it's more so now!! I actually noticed that myself about two weeks ago, when I looked in the mirror, and thought my skin has a brighter and clearer sheen to it. I told him I've been using this serum for a month. I haven't had any side effects, but usually I don't get any side effects on products I use. I will keep on using this, and will come back in two months and let you know whether my dark spots are gone, I hope so!! :-)

Love this brand, been using it for years. Moisturizers without clogging pores. All there products are quality

The media could not be loaded. Short of 5 star for me due to the applicator type and method of distribution. Long time user of other Eva formula. The pump on this product makes product shoot out real fast so often it squirts all different directions and ends up on surfaces. Contents itself is nice feeling on the face and absorbs quickly. Wish it had different method of application. Top gets plugged easily causing excess rapid random squirts.

So far I've liked how this serum had worked well. It doesn't have a strong smell, it's not sticky, absorbs quickly and is easy to use. I love how inexpensive it is. Plus I have sensitive skin and usually break out with serums and haven't with the 10 Actives Facial Serum. I definitely recommend it!
