Balance Active FormulaVitamin C Brightening Serum - 5% Vitamin C for Radiant Skin, Dark Spot Corrector, Lightweight & Non-Sticky, Smooths and Revitalises - 30ml

I honestly only brought this Serum because it was cheap, and I wanted my face to look brighter. But I was genuinely surprised and how well this worked considering it's price point. It is super light weight and feels so smooth on the skin (not greasy at all). My face IS glowing and looks refreshed. I've used this under my makeup a few times, and it honestly changes the way my skin looks. I have a feeling this is going to be a repeat purchase and going to be part of my routine for a long time.

I'm so happy I found this product, and can't believe how low that price is! This is perhaps one of the most gentlest yet effective serums I've found in a while.I use this first thing in the morning, and as we walk the dogs really early and I don't have time/inclination to out my make up on so early, this is the only thing I wear for an hour to face the morning. Yet, after just a few weeks of using this, I've noticed just how fresh and glowing my face looks just by wearing this alone.I am 44 and in recent years I've had to move to serum for daytime skin care as my face has become so dry. So, this little bottle has just been magic!There's no scent, it is so easy to put on, and though the bottle size seems small, a little of this goes a long way. Best of all, my skin absorbs this beautifully and I feel refreshed (and have had no notable side-effects with the ingredients at all)I only use small amounts of concealer and pressed powered on my face these days, but putting them on over this serum is also so easy and effective.Overall, I can't fault this product and will certainly be ordering more.

This is my second time purchasing this product. I have some hyper pigmentation from acne scars and was looking for a serum that could lighten them. I am pretty happy with the results that this product gave me. In the short term, it made my skin more radiant (on first try) and in the long term (about 3 months), it has lightened my acne scars. Bear in mind, that it will not work over night but consistent use as part of your skin care regime will give you a more even complexion (hence the 4 stars instead of 5 because immediate results are the best!), I have noticed that it works especially well after derma-rolling. In terms of texture, at first it feels like an oil but goes on like a watery liquid and absorbs into your skin quickly. It has a slight orange scent but it disappears after a while. Your skin will initially feel a little sticky as it absorbs the product but after 10-15 minutes, your skin is just left with a subtle dewiness. All in all, I think it is a very good product for the price, it is certainly great value as other similar serums are much more expensive. I would definitely recommend it for serum beginners and those looking to lighten their pigmentation on a budget.

Lightly scented, smells beautiful.Easy application with no left over greasy residue.It dries within a few seconds too.I've been using for 2 months and I can honestly say I've noticed a huge difference in my skin.I suffer with combination skin, wrinkles, and under eye bags, but since introuducing this serum to my daily routine my skin has never felt better. It's visually more plump, my wrinkles are less prominent and my combi skin is no more. I didn't realise how dehydrated my skin was until I started using this. I wished they did a face wash and moisturiser too but I can't seem to find it.I'd definitely recommend this to others. The price is good but you can get it a little cheaper on the high street.I have added before and after photos so you can see The difference

I’ve just reordered the Balance Active Formula Vitamin C Brightening Serum for the second time, and it continues to impress me with its results.Key Features:1. 5% Vitamin C for Brightening: The 5% Vitamin C concentration is perfect for daily use. After incorporating this serum into my routine, I’ve noticed my skin looks much more radiant and even-toned. It’s especially helpful for reducing the appearance of dark spots, which I’ve struggled with. Over time, my complexion has definitely brightened.2. Lightweight & Non-Sticky: One of my favorite things about this serum is how lightweight it feels on the skin. It absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky residue, making it great for layering with other skincare products. It doesn’t feel heavy or greasy, which is a big plus, especially for those with oily or combination skin like mine.3. Smooths and Revitalises: I’ve found that my skin feels noticeably smoother after using this serum regularly. It gives a revitalised look, and I’ve seen improvements in my skin’s texture. It’s gentle enough for everyday use without causing any irritation or breakouts.4. Affordable & Effective: For a Vitamin C serum that delivers such great results, the price is incredibly affordable compared to other products on the market. I reordered it because it provides excellent value for money without compromising on quality.Pros:• Visible brightening effects, especially on dark spots and dull skin.• Lightweight and non-sticky formula that absorbs quickly.• Leaves skin smooth and revitalized with regular use.• Affordable yet effective compared to pricier alternatives.• No irritation or breakouts, even with consistent use.Cons:• The results take time, so be patient for long-term benefits.• May not be potent enough for those seeking higher concentrations of Vitamin C for more severe dark spots.

Product not overly oily. However when dried leaves a sticky residue feel and slight tightness on areas applied. But okay and hopes it will do the job of lessening blemishes/dark spots.
