Fantastic serum
I LOVE this serum. Much more affordable than the other high-end brand and exact dupe! Works wonders on my skin. The āhot dogā smell is normal and is due to Ferulic Acid and Ascorbic Acid combining. ALL c+E+ferulic serums smell like that (provided that itās the combo of ascorbic acid (c) + ferulic) - even the āhigh-end skin***** brand). If you hate the smell, than I would suggest using a different form of c (such as MAP or SAP or THD Ascorbate) + ferulic acid. There are many on market available, but not as effective as pure Ascorbic Acid. This is my second purchase of this serum and since the results are fantastic; I will continue to re-purchase.

Great product reasonable price
I just started using this serum after switching from ZO SKIN health serum (which is fantastic, but it's $90 and doesn't last long). The first day I used it I did not read the directions and slathered it on my face and my skin ended up looking greasy (A little goes a long way). I followed the directions and only use three drops and patted it into the skin (donāt rub it across the face). It made a huge world of difference. This product works VERY well on my African American skin leaving it with a nice even glowing skin.

Hot Dog Water
This product seems to be good quality and feels good when I use it. I canāt speak to how well it works because I donāt use it consistently because it SMELLS LIKE HOT DOG WATER. It is disgusting and makes me not want to use it but feel like I have to after what I spent on it (which seems fair based on it being a dupe for skincueticals c e ferulic). I just wish someone had included that in a review before I purchased and I wouldāve maybe reconsidered. I wonāt be repurchasing again solely because of the smell. If you can get past that, Iām sure this is a great product.

Great Value for money
Iām not sure about the processing in the lab, but after reading up on it, I think this product is properly formulated and the ingredients are stable.Iāve used this before and then went on to skinceuticals and now back to this. (No breakouts or red rashes with either of the products)I can honestly say I think itās of the same quality....possibly better because it arrived clear.I read up that vitamin c serums go yellow, then orange, then brown when they lose efficacy or basically get old.Skinceuticals arrives with a slight discoloration. Iām sure itās still fine, but I think Biobare is fresher. Also, if I look at the ingredients, biobare has extra vit c and extra ingredients. But, I donāt know the science stuff and I know skinceuticals put a lot of research into their product...and biobare is newer.Anyway, the main thing is, my skin does look brighter and it does moisturize. I didnāt feel I had to add a moisturizer after, but I did anyway.I also use it day and night as itās economical enough to do so....and it does make a difference.Then, a tip I found to keep the product fresh (clear). Keep it in the fridge. I got a sample bottle through skinceuticals and put this into the empty sample bottle so I donāt open and close the main bottle too often. Oxygen also breaks down the efficacy of vitamin CLastly, it has a strange smell. But all proper vit c products have that smell and itās gone after a few seconds.Iām leaning toward this product over skinceuticals right now. I will update if anything changes l!

Feels different compared from last order
I received the bottle last Dec.5 but decided not to write my reviews right away because I bought this on sale and thinking this might already be old. For almost 3 months using it, I didn't notice any changes, the oil feels like mixed with water and when I used my cream on top of it, it itched my face.I tried the following night just to use the cream without it, my face was fine no itchiness. I love this product before but I don't know what happened it didn't work this time when using my moisturizer. š

Efficacy, ingredients, results
I used this product to remove dark spots in my skin due to sun damage. The result are amazing, a much better and natural choise on Ferulic acid compared with hydroquinone based products. The skin seems to tolerate this product better without getting exesibly dry as when using retinol based products. It has the right % and type of Vit C to actually see antioxidants results. The combination of Vit E and B give this one maximum stability. If you look for an alternative all in one product with the right concentrations this is it. You will save money on different bottles of The Ordinary.

A little goes a long way. It works!
I have used a lot of vitamin c products with limited results. I have been using this product for a few days now and love it. There is really no scent, which is incredible, as my nose has always been offended by other serums I have used. A little goes a long way! You donāt need a lot at all. I canāt say I totally love the applicator shape, I think the hole on the dropper is far too large for the thinness of the serum. Itās incredibly hydrating, and my skin is looking way brighter and much more dewy. Fantastic! I also love the white glass which helps prolong the shelf life.

Great Product
Absolutely love this product !!! The texture and tone of my skin is amazing after using this for 4 weeks. Word of caution- If you schedule facial fillers or Botox injections be sure and stop using 10 days before treatment. With any facial injectables you are told to stop using vitamin E , it never occurred to me that the vitamin e in this product would affect my face. I bruised more than usual a few weeks ago when receiving fillers and it was due to the vitamin E in this product . Live and learn, otherwise Iām loving this!!!
