  • Perfect for troublesome acne
It definitely does smell like spam LOL. But that’s ok because I find once you shake the bottle and apply it at night, you can’t smell it anymore. It also helped to take most of my big acne away! I use it on top of a rice toner at night with some moisturizer and it has helped more than my medication for acne. Highly recommend!! But def wear sunscreen every morning after using it. I have acne prone skin that’s super oily and sometimes dry. It worked well to reduce oil as well. I still need something else to completely get rid of the small bumps and white heads but I’ll be rebuying this too. ... show more

  • real and natural
Yes the color, smell is a little weird but this is the real stuff that actually works not some processed junk.

  • Could cause acne
I've been a huge fan of Cosrx products. I originally had used the lower strength of vitamin c and upgraded to this one a few months back. I feel that it does work in terms of discoloration, but for some reason this one makes me break out more than other vitamin c products I've used. I'm going to finish up what I have left of this bottle but I think I'll go back to the lower strength. My only complaint with the Cosrx vitamin c is how small the bottles are. It could be because vitamin c doesn't last long in terms of potency once opened, but it's a bit pricey for such a small bottle. You definitely have to keep it in the fridge and the smell is strange and not very pleasant but goes away shortly after application. I have not noticed any stinging or irritation from this higher strength vitamin c, but like I said, I have noticed acne break outs happening a bit more than before. My recommendation...give it a shot if you've already used the lower strength and feel you need more potency, but beware of potential break outs. ... show more

  • Happy with it, very good formula
First time with this brand, but using Vit C serum for years. So far one of my favorites in the range of price. Smells uncomfortable fishy but that is the Vit C normal smell, after some seconds over the skin the smell is gone, and personally prefer this than any extra essence. The oil is pretty thin and absorbs immediately. Haven't had any reactions but I have quite of time with this VitC concentration. I like how my skin looks, give me a glossy renewed look every morning. Any result with dark spots or fine lines, but I realized that is normal aging and nothing to do with it lol, anyway my skin looks healthy and younger for my age. Totally happy with this brand in my second week of use. Update: one month of use and still love it! ... show more

  • Did this make me sick?
After showering on a Friday evening, I applied the serum to my face. The smell was absolutely disgusting, but I was prepared for that having read the reviews. I had no negative skin reactions. A couple of hours later I started to get a headache. I took some ibuprofen, put the heating pad on my head, and went to sleep. I woke up at 3am with a terrible headache and I felt nauseous. I want to note that I get frequent migraines and that this was not a migraine headache. It was a painful tightness all around the top of my head. Also, I realized that the heat from the heating pad was reactivating the smell of the serum on my face, which was really gross. When I finally tried to get up and move around at 7am it was awful. I felt like I had the stomach flu. Sweating, shaking, nauseous. And then I threw up. I really did think I was sick and didn’t even consider the serum until a few hours later. I talked to my sister and mentioned my thoughts about the serum. She suggested that I take a long hot shower to try and get it all off of me and to change my bedding. So I did, and by the end of Saturday I was feeling not 100% but so much better. I haven’t seen any other reviews that mention this type of reaction. I tried googling it too and found nothing, so obviously this could be some kind of weird coincidence that I got sick for a short time while trying to use this product. Either way, I’m too scared to try it again. The smell alone might make me sick anyway. Good luck! ... show more

  • Strong Smell & Poor Packaging
The media could not be loaded. I’ve only been using this serum for a week, so I can’t speak to the results yet but the smell is awful. It seriously reminds me of canned dog food (beef kind), and it’s hard to get past. Also, the packaging isn’t great. The first bottle arrived completely leaked and had to be returned. The replacement came quickly, but it still had a slight leak. Not sealed well, which is disappointing for a serum that oxidizes easily. ... show more

  • Instant Glow
I’ve only used this product for a few days, but I can already tell a difference, which is crazy. As soon as I put it on, it gave me an instant glow—not oily, greasy mess kind of glow, but the healthy, plump kind of glow. As someone who had beautiful skin during pregnancy, but is now struggling with uneven and dull skin tone postpartum, this made me extremely happy. Anyway, here are my initial thoughts: Formulation: •this contains a high ascorbic acid percentage. I’ve never been sensitive to ascorbic acid, so my skin does well with the high concentration. However, if you have more sensitive skin, consider starting with their other vitamin c serum that has a lower percentage of vitamin c. •there is no ferulic acid present, which is generally used to stabilize ascorbic acid. Without this, I’m afraid the product won’t last terribly long without oxidizing, so keep this in mind. The instructions do say to refrigerate after opening, which may help slow down oxidation. Texture: The texture of this serum reminds me of a bi-fácil product where there is an oil layer and water layer that need a little shake to incorporate. Don’t let the oiliness scare you though, it does sink in to the skin well and doesn’t feel heavy on the skin. I haven’t had any issues with pilling when I’ve applied other products and makeup on top. Smell: As many reviewers have mentioned, it does have a particular smell to it. To me, it reminds me of tuna, which is quite unpleasant. However, it does dissipitate quickly. I just hold my breath while I apply it to my face XD I don't smell it at all throughout the day. ... show more
