Bright & Glowy
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I’ve really been enjoying the Paula’s Choice 25% Vitamin C + Glutathione Clinical Serum. It feels lightweight, absorbs nicely, and leaves my skin looking brighter and more radiant. I love how smooth and refreshed my skin looks after using it, and it’s been a great addition to my skincare routine!

Dehydrating -- sits on surface and doesn't sink in
Dimethicone is the second ingredient and although it feels ok going on, it sits on top of your skin instead of soaking in deeply like you want a serum to do. My dry skin feels dehydrated within an hour even under a rich moisturizer, instead of comfortable and hydrated like the fat-soluable THD should help it feel. I'm sure all the Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer doesn't help. Paula's seems to care more about how it feels in your hands and going on than what it does to your face. I'm trying to find a replacement for the exorbitant PTR Potent-C serum, but this aint it. It may be fine on oily skin.

I really loved the actual product but the packaging is terrible - every time I put the product on the letters came off the bottle on my hand, and ended up on my face. Won’t be repurchasing because of this issue.

Feels great!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] As someone who is getting older trying to find products that help minimize dark spots and sun damage I was pleased with this product. I love the consistency. It goes on smooth and doesn’t tingle or feel weird on the skin after it dries. I’ve had no breakouts or peeling.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I'm very picky with my vitamin c serums and I fell in love instantly with this one. The formula is smooth, odorless and great for sensitive skin. I used it once a day during my daytime skincare routine and it smoothed my texture and helped with some mild redness I had. I didn't have any type of bad reaction and appreciated the formula to stay stable, unlike other brands. I would buy it again!

Not blown away for the price
This on paper should be good. It doesn’t pill, smell bad, and layers well. I didn’t get irritation either but I also didn’t see any results from using it. I tried two bottles since I liked the feel of the formula but for the price I was hoping I’d have had something to show for it.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] i am not always a fan of vitamin c products they can often over promise and under deliver. add irritation and pilling and they have been hit or miss for me. so I didn’t have high hopes, but this paula’s choice serum worked well and surprised me. it took a little patience, but within 3 weeks I noticed brighter, more even skin and zero irritation! the pump keeps product fresh and dispenses easily. but the smell, it’s unpleasant (although it does fade) and the reason I’m only giving it 3 stars.,

Brighter skin
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I have uneven skin and acne scars, I have tried the serum for a week and notice my face get brighter and smoother. I don’t see any breakouts during the trial time while I have very oily skin. This serum is a good try for those with uneven skin tone or looking to get face brighter.
