Vit C is BOMB!!! Always has and Always will be… Combined with Ferulic acid and you have a dynamite combination!! I first patch tested this before my initial use and then began introducing this into my routine. I used about 3 drops per use every morning and I somehow noticed abit of heat generating as I rubbed my hands together before applying it to my face, was very warm upon applying and a slight scent, I can’t exactly tell you what but it was medicinal… It left my skin bright and supple and helped with fading of marks!!!

I have been using this product every morning for almost a year and I absolutely love it. I feel like my skin feels more pump and glowy, and my complexion looks more even.

I have been using the Vitamin C serum for about a month every morning, and wow my skin has noticeably evened out, dark marks are lighting plus it has helped my rosacea so much and reduced clogged pores. I now always have a natural healthy glow! Although I am in my 20’s this product has really been a game changer I can’t recommend it enough, I’ve never felt this pretty and confident in my own skin thank you Skin Functional this product is incredible!

This is a lovely product. I’ve been using it for a month now. I haven’t seen any noticeable brightening but will keep using it as I do believe in the powers of vitamin C and it may need some more time to make a noticeable difference. Would it be possible to make a version with 20% vitamin C? That would be ideal.
