I’ve used this serum every morning for about six years now and it has seriously saved my skin. I used to have tons of sun damage and dark spots, most noticeably where I had a line of hyperpigmentation that abruptly ended at the skin around my eyes. These photos show my skin before I found this serum, and then 1 and 2 years after incorporating this serum into my morning routine. My skin is brighter Jaime · biossance.com

I’ve been using the Murad Vita-C serum and really like how lightweight it feels on my skin. It absorbs quickly, doesn’t leave any sticky residue, and gives my face a nice healthy glow. After a few weeks, I noticed my skin tone looking brighter and more even. I’ve noticed it works best when I pair it with Murad’s cleanser, toner, and their SPF day cream—the whole routine really makes a difference i Tam N · influenster.com
