Vitamin C Face Serum, Brightens, Hydrates and Reduces Signs of Aging, with Vitamin C, Hyaluronic and Ferulic Acid, 1 FL Oz

so after spending lots of precious time and frustration sorting through the reviews of the free loaders who got the product for free to test, I was a bit concerned. You can always tell those reviews, they go on and on, about how many ounces in the bottle, listing ingredients and what they are suppose to do.... Here is my fave: this serum smells delicious,.... and on and on never really being specific about the concrete actual personal changes in their skin. SO after reading all the reviews and I must say: this company would benefit avoiding these free loaders, because so many of these views made me wonder if this product has any value, not to mention all the precious time going through those. SO I think I vented, now on to the product. It works. I have been using it for one week, just about. I do have a few small bumps from my skin detoxing since I started using it, but that only lets me work the product works!!!. Day one I loved it., I jus turned 42 and I am noticing things about my skin that I never thought I would. ANd it's like your skin changes over night. I am into skin, in the beauty industry and have spent a considerable amount of time and money on sooo many products during the course of countless years. Many of the products that did amazing for me no longer suffice. it is imperative to moisturize the skin after applying the serum and for women in their 40's it recommend a deep moisturizer, depending on the skin type. The first thing I loved was the texture and absorbtion and fragrance.. It left me wanting to apply more of it to my skin. I did have some small bumps on my skin, but that just let me know the product works. About a week into it, and i realize it is early to tell, my pores are reduced like all the way, leaving my skin texture smoother, also I see clarity and an even tone now, I had discoloration around my chin and side of my face since my20's and that is gone, in specific yellowing around the mouth. That is such a big deal, .. I have a dark spot nothing major but def obvious and that has faded. Below my chin I have a faint line that has been there since my late 20's and that is gone, and that is huge to me, because for the life of me I would have to do multiple treatments to make that go away for like 24 hours, and last but not least the lines and a bit of puffines that I began to notice rt after my42nd BD, are gone. I still have some fine lines on my forehead and it has only been a week, I do not use botox or fillers so I have those on my forehead but seeing the results so far am hoping I can loose those. I do have to say that this does lighten your skin so if you do not want that then beware of this product. OK the only thing I could add is a pump bottle so that the product does not get oxidized every time you open the bottle. I also bought the eye serum and it is equally wonderful sorry for the wordy review and venting i hope this helps some people out there

I've been using the Vitamin C & Retinol Serums the Retinol Moisturizer and the Vitamin C Cleanser since January 2018. I am iNsAnE about these products! I am 54 and according to my husband (who also uses the same products and looks FABULOUSLY younger) now look 44. My skin is smoother, brighter, tighter and fresher looking! I wash with the Vitamin C cleanser in the morning and then apply the Vitamin C serum. I use it all over my neck (including the sides), my chest and tops of my shoulders. At night I wash again with the cleanser and apply the Retinol serum the same way and once it dries I apply the Retinol moisturizer. I only use the moisturizer maybe twice per week at night because honestly, the wash and the serums alone have done so much for my complexion I don't feel I really need it every night. I would like to add a little background on myself and how I came to use these products...2 years ago I started following The Primal Blueprint because I wasn't taking care of myself like I should have. I was always very thin (5' 7" and around 120 lbs.) but started eating all the wrong foods and skyrocketed to 154 lbs. I felt horrible about myself. My skin was looking awful and I felt I was aging way before my time. Years of being a sun lover was starting to show in a really bad way with deep lines down the center of my chest and I was always really red (which I later learned was due to inflammation from eating all the wrong foods) on my chest and neck area. My face was looking old, my hair was looking bad and I just felt all around crappy about myself. So I knew I needed to make some changes, fast! I searched for an answer and came across Mark Sisson and his Primal Blueprint. I purchased several of his cookbooks and 1 week later I went Primal. I purged my kitchen cabinets of $200 worth of groceries I had just purchased and started my new life. Long story short, I lost 36 lbs. in about 5 months and now weigh 119 lbs. Instead of junior's size L/XL (size 14-16) I wear juniors size XS (0-2)! The transformation not only in my weight/size but overall general appearance is REMARKABLE! Every wrinkle on my chest, sides of my neck and tops of my shoulders, from sun damage, DISAPPEARED because the thickness of my skin has completely changed with the loss of so much fat. Along with the fat went the ugly sun damage/deep wrinkles! The skin over my entire body has completely changed from dry in some areas, oily in others, wrinkly, sun damaged, ruddy, thick and inflamed to baby smooth from top to bottom and sun damage free! It's truly astounding what a change in diet can do for your skin and overall appearance! As for my hair? When I started the Primal way of life my hair was dull and lifeless and WAS NOT GROWING AT ALL! It was several inches above my shoulders and now it's growing like crazy and is almost down to the middle of my bad. Not only does it grow like crazy but it's thicker and shinier and sheds 99% less. I should add that along with the Primal way of life for 2 years I have also been taking Brain Power Omega-3 Fish Oil for 2 years which I purchase every 90 days here on Amazon and believe much of my overall improvements are a direct result. Living a natural and organic lifestyle has done more for me than I could ever write about here. It was THE BEST THING I have ever done for myself. Everything in my life is organic down to my mascara, the products I clean with and even my mattress! I was just missing one thing....a natural/organic skincare regimen. The one final thing to take the improvements in my skin and make them even better! So here I am reviewing these InstaNatural products which I have to say have only added to and enhanced the wonderful changes that had already taken place in my life. I research EVERYTHING I purchase now and have become a serious ingredients label reader. It's incredibly time consuming but in the end it's worth it. I looked at numerous natural skin care lines here on Amazon and in the end I chose InstaNaturals. After using these products for only 2 months, the improvements in my complexion are SO INCREDIBLE & SO OBVIOUS, I will NEVER use anything else! ( ( I pray they never stop making this stuff). My husband tells me at least 10x a day how great I look and how I have reversed my age and how he can't believe the changes but the other day he said something that I will never forget. He looked at me and said..."You look so good you're actually starting to scare me!" Ladies, if you're thinking about purchasing a new skin care regimen, STOP HERE and try InstaNatural's line of Vitamin C and Retinol. I promise you will not regret it but I need to reiterate that, for me personally, my skin and overall appearance improvements have only improved because of a combination of things. I believe that had I started using this skin care line back when I was eating a horrible diet, it would not have made a difference in my face. You must take care of yourself all around, not just the outside, and that means eating the right foods. Stop putting poisons in your body with the foods you eat. Put the right things in your body and the results will show on the outside. Once you do that, everything you add to your exterior will only enhance your overall health. An overall healthy appearance starts from the inside NOT with what you put on your face! I will purchase these InstaNatural products for life. In fact, Because I use these products on my neck, chest and shoulder as well as my face I will probably reorder more frequently. It is money very well spent. So THANK YOU INSTANATURALS for the MOST AMAZING products ever! I love you but most importantly I love me!

I purchased my bottle of InstaNatural Vitamin C Serum For Face for three very good reasons: 1.) I've spent time researching what active, beneficial and effective ingredients are recommended by experts (like Paula Begoun, who cites her sources) and this serum is a winner. 2.) It's a terrific value. And, 3.)The Satisfaction Guaranteed or Your Money Back Promise. I've been using this serum, nightly, for about two weeks. Kudos to the company for packaging the serum in cobalt blue, glass bottles. Repeated or extended exposure to light and/or air can have a negative effect on efficacy. That, and I hate plastic. Dispensing it from the dropper, it has a liquid feel. Pleasant, very faint herbal scent. After applying it to the face, it feels more dense. This serum is absorbed into the skin quickly and has a nice feel. I choose to follow it with a layer of another moisturizer, but that is not necessary. As I said, It's only been two weeks, but my skin already appears to be reaping the benefits. It's smoother, feels more firm. My pores are clear and I've noticed a more even tone where it was previously uneven. I am thrilled with this serum and will purchase it again. I'll definitely be recommending it to friends and family. I've given Insta Natural Vitamin C Serum four stars - at the moment. But, at this rate, in two more weeks... I may be updating that to five stars.

Holy grail product. I am about to order my third. I stared at myself in the mirror in disbelief after the first time I used it. I have developed incredibly sensitive skin in my thirties and this last two yearsthe skin issues went over the top. I was diagnosed with seb derm and the doctor gave me INCREDIBLY expensive treatment that worked for three days and stopped. Then I started to get really congested skin everywhere with huge pores even where I didnt have the seb derm. Then The seb derm led to some discoloration (brown patches) that were difficult to even see most days because the redness (orangey actually) overpowered the brown. Discoloration alone made me go a shade darker on foundation to try to get a better match to what had spread over my whole face. To add insult to injury I was itchy and my skin felt uncomfortable all the time. Add to that I started getting eye bags and my fine lines weren't so fine anymore... My skin was congested, pimply, and always super red but also CONSTANTLY flaking and peeling (impossible to cover with makeup which just made it all more obvious). I have spent so much time looking for solutions, hundreds and hundreds of dollars trying anything and everything from doctors to expensive products to holistic solutions. I literally have a box full of failed products. Nothing worked and had gotten to the point where I would have been happy with only a minor improvement of some symptoms and enough of a reduction in flaking that I could hope to use heavy makeup without having the makeup accentuate the flaking dryness. After a lot of research I concluded that a lot of the problem was that my skin barrier couldn't recover from the seb derm bc the oiliness of congestion kept feeding the seb derm which would continue the vicious cycle. I tried a couple things that would start to help one problem but start another. I decided to try yet another attempt at barrier repair and this came up when I searched. The result was IMMEDIATE. Like my skin had finally found what it had been looking for. IMMEDIATELY the redness calmed. That alone would have made me a buyer for life but the next day, no flakes, no redness and the softest skin I have had in as long as I can remember. Even my fine lines were lessened. For the first few days I couldnt stop touching the softness and looking in the mirror in disbelief. Since the products from the doctors had worked for a few days before they stopped working, I didn't let myself get my hopes up and waited for a month to let myself believe it was really improving. I have since bought several other products from this company as well. I could not be more happy. Sorry for such a lengthy review but this product has been such a game changer for my skin. Btw, I agree with other reviews that the dropper is not quite ideal but the product is too good for me to care. I have lots of overpriced expensive packaging left over from all the products that didn't work. Also it's white and the texture is like lotion so the serum name is kinda misleading but I still use it as a serum.

This Vitamin C Serum is exceptional. I rarely give reviews much less glowing reviews. This works very well. For starters, on facial lines, yes, it is smoothing skin out. However, I accidentally created a minor chemical burn on the bridge of my nose 3 years ago and have been making various concoctions to aid in returning the skin to normal so have a lot of experience with different oils and blends for skin repair and maintenance. While my own creations have been working, this Vitamin C Serum unquestionably has advanced the healing and almost return to normal of this skin burn. And have other skin aberrations and beginnings of age spots have reversed as well. Most pleased with that.. However, another impressive use.. My wife has had a liver transplant and 6 total joint replacements (yes, ouch). She has had a multitude of these and other surgeries hence surgical scars, scar tissue aka keloids. Many. This is why I learned how to make oil blends to help reduce these surgical scars in addition to skin maintenance. Very impressively, and thankfully, this Vitamin C Serum has had a marked affect on smoothing the keloids and evening pigmentation of these sites. While my blends have worked, this Vitamin C Serum is really impressive. And of further note is some of these surgical scars are 23+ years out. And this product is working on them no matter the age. A terrific product. And to clarify, I hardly ever give glowing reviews. But this product is worthy. And this is a completely unsolicited opinion. When a product comes along that performs this well, it compels me to comment on this.

My comments are based upon comparison to the previous version which was not "Advanced Formula Vitamin C Serum. ~The former version was a clear, freely adsorbing thinner liquid which was light on skin, relatively little aroma, and soaked into the skin immediately leaving no sticky residue. I like it because of its ease of use, it was clear leaving no film after drying, and it allowed me to apply other products over it immediately. Most important I found the Original version to be more effective. I did see more improvement in dark spots and other pigmented areas around my face, neck and hands. ~This products--the Advanced Formula--is of thicker, sticky consistency that is cloudy and orange colored. It did not adsorb freely into my skin after cleansing. It dried slower and also formed somewhat of a barrier that I personally found annoying because other normally applied products such as moisturizing serum, moisturizer, and perhaps foundation makeup seemed to float on top and not penetrate the Vit C Serum layer. Also if during the day I was exposed to humid outdoor air or warmth due to my own activity, my skin would not breathe and perspiration caused the return of the sticky feeling as if the Vit. C. serum had just been applied, tI requires more product usage because of its thick consistency. I don't experience improvement of my dark spots or other imperfections like with the Original formula. . ~This experience is relevant to my skin type, my exposure to heat and humidity of course. However, I was extremely happy with the former product and hope that Insta-Natural would offer that as alternative again. It was unfortunate that the product formula was changed and no warning was given on their Amazon customers. When I received the Orange colored product I thought some mistake had been made though I had clicked on "order again" and expected the product to be identical. After researching I found that the name had changed to "Avanced Formula". Ordered a 3rd of what I thought to be the original formula only to receive another advanced bottle. ~The company is very good about replacements or refunds--once the product has been tried of course; so I'm not concerned other than: I wanted the Original Formula that I ordered and please don't make product changes without clearly stating it in your Amazon Ad. I do not appreciate becoming a test market for new products without a choice. The fine print on the bottle label in the ad is not shopper friendly and it was not easy to see that the name changed to Advanced Formula. ~I will not order again and look for a clear, thinner product . Thank you.

I really loved this serum. It felt lightweight, absorbed well, and helped keep my skin hydrated. I was very happy with the results while using it.

I stumbled across InstaNatural in my search for a holy grail anti-aging cream that wouldn't exacerbate the mild to moderate adult acne I've been experiencing. I placed my first order in late October and am absolutely IN LOVE with InstaNatural. This line has cleared my skin so I barely have any breakouts (a small pimple here and there that goes away quickly if I can stop myself from popping or picking). I will be 38 on Friday and while I only have minor signs of aging, I wanted to improve them and help postpone/prevent further wrinkles. The tone, texture and feel of my skin is absolutely amazing and is the best it's been in my life. I have tried a few InstaNatural products that caused breakouts (oddly the Acne Cleanser and Acne Moisturizer as well as the Youth Express Moisturizer) and in all cases the customer service was amazing. I was given the option of a refund or replacement product and was told to keep, gift or recycle the products that I was returning. For the Acne Cleanser and Moisturizer I replaced them with the Dual Action Cleanser and the Vitamin C SPF 30 moisturizer and they work beautifully. For the Youth Express Moisturizer I simply got a refund because I was already using the Retinol Moisturizer at night. This was my first time purchasing InstaNatural via Amazon (all previous purchases were direct from the InstaNatural website) and I love that I'm still getting products from InstaNatural with my free Prime shipping. InstaNatural's website gurantees their product via Amazon when purchased from the InstaNatural storefront. I even compared lot numbers when I repurchased toner from Amazon last week and it was the same lot number as the first bottle I bought direct from their website. My routine with these products is: Morning - Glycolic Acid Cleanser, Skin Clearing and Anti-Aging Toner, either Vitamin C or Niacinamide Serum, and Vitamin C Moisturizer with SPF 30. Evening is Dual Action Cleanser (removes makeup!), Skin Clearing and Anti-Aging Toner, Retinol Serum and Retinol Moisturizer. I also use the Eye Serum and Age Defying Eye Cream both AM and PM. If I am having any sort of breakout I use Differen Gel after applying toner. To apply the toner I prefer to wash my hands, spray 3 pumps in my palm and pat it over my face. It delivers the most product to my skin and I'm not losing any to misting in the air or a cotton pad. My only negative feedback is the bottom edge of the dropper (the silver part) has a ragged edge on the Retinol Serum and it's cut my finger several times when opening the bottle. I try to remember use a hand towel when I open it to avoid it as I re-cut the same spot several times on my index finger. Now that I think about it, I can file the edge with an emery board, but I'd like to ask InstaNatural to review their serum packaging. :)
