Radiant 20% Vitamin C Serum

This serum packs a punch. With 20% of its ingredients consisting of vitamin C content, I could actually feel the higher acidity level on my skin. For someone like myself who does not have sensitive skin, I personally didn’t mind that, but I can see why it may cause irritation if you have active acne or broken skin. Within just a few days, my skin was both brighter and all around smoother. The instructions say use a pea-sized amount, although that did not seem like enough for my face and décolletage; I noticed it didn’t seem to stretch well. The consistency is thin and not at all silky or creamy. It has the smell of a typical vitamin C serum. I really thought I was pretty careful with not getting it near my eyes; guess not. I could tell after putting on my glasses, my eyes could not stop watering which would be a mess had I applied makeup. Also, I found it to be drying. The added hibiscus flower acid says it brightens and hydrates. I definitely noticed the brightness after a few days, but I’m missing the hydration. I didn’t have an issue with that, I did adjust the amount of moisturizer I use afterwards. However, I know sometimes it takes time for our skin to adjust to new products- I did just dive right in with this one and I believe I may have underestimated its potency. The more I use it, the better it seemed to work with my skin and it quickly proved its quality. I also love that this product contains vitamin E, which has amazing healing benefits & is something I use often on it’s own. I’ve always gravitated towards Vitamin C serums- working in the beauty industry, I know a good Vitamin C product will target all sorts of skin issues. After trying so many in the past, I’m very impressed with the PMD Beauty Radiant Vitamin C serum and I will most definitely continue to use it. As for recommendations- absolutely. I’d just keep in mind this is a strong product. No need to rush. Start off slow and work into it.

I used this serum as soon as sun damage popped up on my eyelid and it was GONE THE NEXT DAY I've been using the PMD Microderm for years, but I couldn't use microderm on this sun damage that pops up on my eye lid from time to time. Normally I'll use a vitamin C for a few days to lighten it up. I never had next day results like this. And I didn't expect the serum to be so hydrating. Love it!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been having trouble finding a vitamin C serum that does not break my skin out. There is something in a lot of vitamin C serums in creams that I've tried that I get little tiny pimples and this particular serum did not break me out so number one that is a plus in my book. This year and it's really lightweight and I like the pump bottles so that you don't have any oxidation happening as vitamin C tends to oxidize very quickly. There's also a squalane and hibiscus flower acid, which is a new ingredient used for me, but anytime you apply an asset to your skin. It helps with chemical exfoliation.As a five year veteran, and the height and Skincare, retail industry, I have used many many vitamin C creams in serums. This one feels luxurious, lightweight non-sticky and I like it a lot
