LOVE

I love this product- when I run out I notice my skin showing more uneven tone and then I purchase more and my skin looks more even and brighter. I have used a fair amount of vitamin C serums over the years with different price points and this one works well and is priced well. People keep commenting on the 'new smell' however I have yet to notice an abnormal smell to the product- in fact I think it smells great (which is a matter of opinion). 5/5 stars- an all around amazing product.

Skin irritation

I did love using this serum texture wise BUT currently trying to figure out why I now have scaly patches around my face that won’t go away. Turns out Vitamin C can cause that and had to stop. Bigger problem is that it can also cause skin discoloration where the dry scaly patch was!! So instead of lightening dark areas I may have more now the opposite of what I hoped for, sadly! It’s the only new thing I’ve done so think it actually it may be this serum. Boo

My skin has never looked better!

I have been using the Vitamin C Serum for a few weeks. My dark spots are starting to fade and my skin is so smooth and glowing. My husband noticed and now wants to use my serum. Please make it in larger sizes!

Absolute Magic

YUM! The Brighten Up Serum feels so good! I use it daily in my face routine. It feels so luxurious, while it is more than enough with 1 pump. Lasts a long time even with daily use. The smell is light and fresh. My sun spots are gone after 3 1/2 months of use. It has blown my mind. I use several Ursa Major products daily, and this one is my fave!

maybe it’s my age ?

I have not noticed any hint of improvement re:toning down my brown spots. It’s only been a few weeks and I am 78 years old and wasn’t expecting much, but my dermatologist said I should know better😆. Not sorry that I gave it a try 🤷♀️

Fresh & Clean

I absolutely love how the Brighten Up Vitamin C Serum feels after washing my face in the morning and before bedtime. My skin feels fresh and clean without all the thick lotion feeling.

It Really Works!

Finally!, a vitamin C serum that effectively diminishes sun spots!!! I’ve been using Brighten Up Vitamin C Serum for a little over three weeks and have already noticed the two dark spots on my left jaw becoming much lighter and less noticeable. I’ve tried a lot of products that claim to get rid of dark spots on my face, this is the first product that has worked! Thank you Ursa Major!
