I reached out to the brand to find out the concentration of retinol in this serum, since it’s not listed on Sephora’s site or theirs. They informed me it’s “proprietary” and they would not be sharing. This can only mean there is a negligible amount of retinol in it. Additionally, I’ve used this for two full bottles and noticed no change. I do love the smell, though.

It's a no go
I wanted to like this one but I have to sensitive of skin. It also smelt terrible! Sad but the truth! Even if it did its job I wouldn't put myself through that pain!

Uhmmmm, is it just me?
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've been using the StriVectin Super-C Retinol Brighten and Correct Serum and here are my initial thoughts, I will update if anything changes. Love the packaging except for the fact it can't be in the light without risking ruining the formula. The formula's scent is crisp with a hint of something strange and it's very strong but dissipates within about 35 minutes. The serum absorbs well but does leave a hint of greasiness. This product boasts that consumers agree there is no irritation but I have to disagree on that. I have several small irritated patches of skin after using this product. I also have noticed my face breaking out assumably from the retinol which is what I will update after continuing to use the product we'll see if the acne continues.

Amazing on my skin
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really enjoyed using this serum, its so lightweight and wears really well under makeup. There’s no residue or greasy feeling, it almost feels watery and that makes it so much easier to absorb into my skin. I love that it doesn’t have a strong smell and it doesn’t irritate my skin.

Work in progress
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I was really excited to try this because I had always heard vit C and retinol should not be used together. Turns out they can be combined. I have been using it for over a week now so its a bit early to say how well it is working. But here are my first impressions:
I have oily skin, yet it leaves my skin noticeably dry. Not a dealbreaker for me but for someone with extra dry skin definitelyneeds an extra hydrating moisturizer to layer it.
The serum has an orangey color, which initially worried me because vitamin C turns yellowish orangey when it oxidizes. Thankfully that seems to be the intended color for this formula.
The biggest downside for me is the smell. It has a quite strong chemical smell that doesn’t dissipate quickly.
Also, I’ve noticed some pilling issues when I layer it with other serums and creams.

Lightweight, easy to layer🌸
I’ve really enjoyed using this serum! The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky or greasy residue. It layers nicely with my other skincare and doesn’t pill under moisturizer or makeup. My skin feels smoother and looks brighter and more refreshed with consistent use. I also love that it combines Vitamin C and retinol in one easy step.

I received this product complimentary in exchange for my honest opinion.
I really liked this serum. It combines 2 of my favorite active ingredients in skin care.
Having the opportunity to apply Retinol and Vitamin C in a single step is a big plus.
I like to keep it in my skincare mini fridge for better longevity.
It is a lightweight serum and fast absorbing.
It is not irritating at all on my skin, but it does contain fragrance. If your skin is sensitive to added fragrance, stay away from this one.

Amazing
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I’ve been enjoying the StriVectin Multi-Action Super-C Retinol Brighten & Correct Vitamin C Serum. I like that it combines vitamin C and retinol in one serum, which makes my routine feel a little more streamlined. The texture is lightweight, absorbs nicely, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling heavy or sticky. After using it, my skin feels smoother and looks a little more refreshed and radiant. I’m especially interested in continuing to use it to see how it helps with uneven tone and overall brightness over time. So far, it has been a really nice addition to my skincare routine.

lightweight serum
Strivectin super c retinol brighten & correct vitamin c serum restores radiance and clarity to dull and tired skin. It also helps with fine lines and uneven texture and improves the firmness and elasticity of the skin. Acerola cherry extract helps with the overall skin and it’s the source of vitamin c in it. I like that it doesn’t irritate the skin and it’s vegan and lightweight. I use it every night and can already see the difference in my overall skincare texture and complexion.

Great Retinol & Vitamin C serum
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is a good serum to brighten up the skin and get the boost that retinol provides, it was not harsh with my skin and I like modern design of the bottle. It has a thick texture and it does absorb quickly, it has a soft citrusy scent, it last a long time so it’s a great value for the money.
