In their words
“What an amazing Vitamin C serum, 15% content, lovely and refreshing to put on and give a wonderful glow to my skin, especially along the cheeks. The picture of me is after just one application so cannot wait for the longer term results. Absorbs quickly into skin, no sticky residue. Highly recommend as part of any skin care routine as it is an anti-oxidant that helps with fine lines and skin glow (”

“I use vit C regularly but it is first time i bought this serum from Vichy. It will be the last time. After application feels food for a while, doesn't smell which is good, skin absorbs it quickly which is also good however it drued the skin on my face within a week of regular use. My skin still cant go back to normal after all the products i had to get in order to get it back to normal. Feels itch”
