Great product

This is a must have, I've started with a 5ml bottle and saw much improvement my skin appearance and texture. I've bought a 30ml cause I don't want to be without.

Love this oil based Vit C Serum

I am really enjoying the 20% Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate Oil Serum for my mature slightly dry skin. It applies so smoothly. It's such a pleasure ordering from Skin Functional and their packaging is just so lovely!!

Could be more

I think they could’ve done much better with this, in terms of adding more key ingredients like panthenol, beta glucan etc or more tyrosinase inhibiting ingredients. There are other Tetrahexyldexyl products in the market that I prefer because it targets so many things in one bottle. Also the pump container is a problem with this one won’t purchase again and sticker is falling off the brand new bottle

Great product, prefer old packaging

Really like the oil based contents but not a fan of the new pump. It gets stuck and I don’t feel like I control how much liquid I want to use. Please bring back the dropper packaging or find a better option.
