Magical serum!
I love this product. I noticed a visible difference after just a couple of weeks, using every morning and every evening. I have sensitive skin and use a prescription barrier cream every day - this serum worked so well in conjunction with this and I didn't suffer from any flare ups in fact - areas or redness and uneven tone have vastly improved and my overall complexion is brighter and smoother.

Very strong vitamin c use sparingly
The O2 Vitamin C Brighten Defend Serum by Element Eight is definitely a very powerful skincare product. I always love a great serum in my skincare routine and I was excited to try one with Vitamin C. I am a beauty enthusiast and a moderately experienced skin care product user and I was shocked and disappointed by this product. I have only used one other Vitamin C serum in the past and this serum produced similar results for my skin. My skin was itchy and peeling. This was just from daily use. I had to scale it down to once every 3 days but only after I was able to calm my skin down back to a normal state. I don't think this product was right for my skin unfortunately but I also could have been using too much product too often. Start with a small amount and gradually increase as your skin gets used to the product. Be cautious on sensitive areas on your face that could be easily irritated and follow with moisturizer and sunscreen. I received this product as a part of an educational promotion.

WORTH EVERY PENNY
Potent and effective. This vitamin c serum has a smooth, lotion-like texture that glides effortlessly onto the skin and absorbs quickly without leaving any residue. The real magic lies in its performance. My skin looked visibly brighter after just a few uses, with stubborn dark spots beginning to fade over time. Thanks to its potent antioxidant properties, it left my skin feeling protected and refreshed throughout the day. And while it’s incredibly effective, the serum is gentle enough for my sensitive skin—no irritation or redness, just a radiant, healthy-looking glow. If you're searching for a skincare upgrade that delivers brightness, dark spot reduction, and powerful protection in one gentle formula, Element Eight’s Vitamin C Serum is worth every penny.

The best Vitamin C product I've tried!
Wow, ok this serum is truly incredible. I have darker skin, so I find I get hyperpigmentation really easily, even after one pimple. I've found it really difficult to find a product to combat this. I've tried ALL of the well known brands, but this is the first product I've seen a visible difference. After 10 days not only did I notice my darker spots had significantly reduced, I also have more of.a hydrated glow and radiance to my skin that I wasn't expecting. The product absorbs really well and not greasy (I am usually sensitive and acne prone but haven't had any issues with this). Honestly, so happy I tried this and looking forward to seeing more results with continued use.

Brighter Skin
I've used Element Eight O2 Vitamin C Serum morning and night for the past 14 days. I applied it after cleansing and toning my skin and before applying my moisturizer. I've noticed a more even skin tone with dark spots minimized. (I even had an acquaintance tell me my skin looked really good!) I even applied some residual Serum to the back of hands which seems to have even out the skin tone and lightened some of the dark spots. I love the texture and how easily it absorbs. I highly recommend the O2 Vitamin C Serum!

The results are great!
This O2 vitamin C serum by Element Eight is soooo luxurious. The texture is so smooth and silky upon application it just glides right on. I’m sure that’s due in part to their patented technology of using liquid oxygen in their product (which also helps the serum penetrate into your skin more deeply btw). Don’t let the texture fool you though, a little bit goes a long way with this powerhouse of a product! I’ve definitely had results with this product, but did have to work my way up to daily use. I would say if you’re on the sensitive side like me, start with 2 x the first week, 3x a week, and then so on. I’ve definitely seen an increase in brightness, clarity, and texture of my skin, and still have plenty of the bottle left. Will definitely repurchase this product!
