Disappointing
I was really eager to try this after hearing rave reviews about it. Vitamin C is a big trend in skin care right now, considering its antioxidant, anti-aging, and brightening benefits. It feels more like a gel than a serum and if you look closely, there is pinkish pearl to brighten the face, but it's barely noticeable, so don't fret if you think it'll look noticeable on your face. You put a pea siz...read moree amount AFTER you moisturize to smooth the skin and give your face a radiant and silky texture. I have uneven texture and no matter HOW MANY products I use to resurface, it still remains uneven. I was hoping that putting this on would smooth out a bit of the uneven texture so my skin with makeup would look better and smoother. This really doesn't do much, at least nothing noticeable. This can be used as a primer and some people it works well for that case, but for me it causes my liquid foundation to bead off when I brush it on. This may serve as a better primer for powder foundation, but I haven't tried that yet. I was at a point where I starting having a decent complexion and I was happy, but then I started breaking out. I narrowed it down to this product because it does have silica which gives it that silicone-feeling when you put it on and my skin usually hates that. The only thing I ended up liking was the smell of it, but I noticed on the ingredients list that fragrance is the second thing on the list! The ingredients listed list are in descending order, starting with the highest quantity ingredients first. Needless to say, some people often have reactions to high fragrance quantities, they might also want to stay away from this. So unfortunately I'm going to return this because it wasn't for me.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 6 people said helpful

Didn't work well for me
I purchased the Vitamin C booster to wear under my daytime moisturizer like a serum. I was first put off by the consistency of this. It seems to have a lot of silicone in it and it felt funny on my face. Since it was clear it was also hard to tell where I had put it. My moisturizer and makeup didn't sit well on top of the booster either. I tried to stick with it to get the benefits of the v...read moreitamin c but I don't think this product did anything for my skin. I have sun spots and some discolorations, but this did nothing to lighten them. I wasn't expecting miracles, but I did hope for more than I received. While Body Shop products are all reasonably priced, this product was more expensive so I expected more. I would not buy this again and I certainly cannot recommend it.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 10 people said helpful
