Details & care

What it is: An advanced vitamin C serum formulated with firming peptides that may help reduce wrinkles and 20% L-ascorbic acid to target dark spots.

What it does: The serum is enhanced with hyaluronic acid, ceramides and pomegranate sterols for smoother, brighter skin. The brand's innovative system combines triple-patented vitamin C with powerful peptides, enhancing the formula's ability to firm and smooth, while signature 20% L-ascorbic acid targets dark spots, uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation. Advanced hyaluronic acid powder delivers instant plumping benefits, working alongside ceramides and pomegranate sterols to soothe and strengthen the skin barrier while optimizing the potent vitamin C concentration.

How to use: Apply the serum to clean, dry skin in the morning and night, smoothing a pea-sized amount evenly across the face and neck. You may experience a slight tingling sensation—this is normal and means the potent formula is actively working. For sensitive skin, start with every other day application, allowing your skin to adjust to the powerful active ingredients.

The Glow Is Real – A Vitamin C That Actually Works

This serum is a game-changer. I’ve tried countless Vitamin C products, but this one delivers visible results fast. The texture is silky-smooth, it absorbs instantly, and within a week, my skin looked noticeably brighter and more even-toned. No stickiness, no irritation—just pure glow. It's my daily essential now.

Many different purposes

All the different purposes this BeautyStat Universal C Skin Refiner Brightening Vitamin C Serum can be used for is great! It's also wonderful how much pure vitamin c is in it, that it is fragrance free, and can be applied to all types of skin! At the same time though it also contains many harmful, toxic ingredients that unfortunately makes it not safe and cancels out its benefits. If it was made without those ingredients and with only natural, healthy ones then it would be perfect and super helpful!

Ugh!

This is the second time I’ve tried this product. The first time I purchased it, but this time it was a gift. Worth a second try? Nope. Too thick and the pump didn’t work. Because of its consistency, I had to dig it out with a really really thin spatula. It doesn’t have the optimal type of vitamin C. Save your money and purchase something that really works. One star is a stretch for this product.

Very nice serum

This serum is really nice. It comes with a pump dispenser so that you don't use too much and it also aids in the stability of the main ingredient, Vitamin C. In the first few days, I used it every other day to let my skin get acclimated. Once my skin was used to it, I then started incorporating into my morning routine without any irritation. I noticed that my skin felt brighter and I had a decrease in my dark spots and fine lines. It's very gentle and is also a great product to use before a moisturizer to lock everything in for the day. Overall, a really nice serum with anti aging benefits that you can see.

Great moisturizing serum

I received Universal C Skin Refiner complimentary for my honest opinion. This is a great face serum! This is very thick. You only need a little. It's absorbs nicely with a silky finish. It leaves my skin very soft and glowing. I've been using this twice a day. I did not detect any scent and did not have any reactions. Because the product is so thick, the stem for the pump pulled away, but I just took the top off. Other than that, I highly recommend this product. You won't regret it.

Loving my Vitamin C

I adore using Universal C Skin Refiner 20% Vitamin C Brightening Serum and am thoroughly enjoying the Beauty Stat brand. I started using this product since I was looking for something to help with my dull skin. My pores are smaller and my face has a radiant glow after using this lotion, which I will apply immediately after taking a shower. I adore this item.
