edit: Now that I've used a different vitamin C product that works and isn't torturous, I have to downgrade this even further. While it did lighten and brighten, it caused a crazy amount of redness and irritation, smelled horrible, and oxidized within a few months even though I kept it in the fridge.
—–
This product has a really awful smell– a metallic, meaty odor. When I first used it I didn't think I'd be able to get past the smell, but I eventually found a technique that works for me– I apply a thin film of this in the morning to a dry face, then wait for it to completely dry on my skin. After that I apply moisturizer on top. This seals in the scent under the moisturizer. If you apply moisturizer before it is completely dry/absorbed, it mixes in with the moisturizer and you will smell the horrible hot dog odor all day. It does sting and makes my cheeks get a little bit red/irritated. However, I am also using Differin several nights/week so it may just be that my skin is unusually sensitive. The redness does calm down after about 20 minutes, though, and it helped by a light application of Aquaphor. This product does work, though! I definitely noticed fading of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (the dark spots that can follow acne) and an overall brightening effect. I poured 2/3 of the bottle out into a spare amber glass dropper bottle that I had and I keep that in the fridge so that it would last longer. As noted in the info above, the product does start out with a pale yellow color and according to Purito, it is still okay to use unless it oxidizes to the point where it is dark brown. This is the first vitamin C product I have used, so I'll bet there are more elegant formulations out there, but this works well and is reasonably priced.

Solid Vita C product
Vitamin C usually takes a while but I can definitely say that this works….. Very slowly, but it works. My only word of advice it the smell takes some getting used too…. Like hold your breath the 1st few times…. Lol

This is one I buy again and again!
This is a good vit C product, at a very fair price. The bottle lasts a long time and I love that it has a spritz lid. Helps avoiding exposing the bottle to light. Love this!

This serum is not oxidized
I was shocked when I read the one star reviews below because this product is already this color and it is not oxidized at all.. This serum is from south korea -i am korean- and I searched their website to find the product detail.The reviews saying they got the oxidized product are not true. I took a screenshot from the purito.co.krI don’t usually write a review but I did because this serum is really really worked well on my skin. This is an excellent product compared to the price.

Good for sensitive oily skin
It is the only vitamin C serum, which doesnât give me allergic reaction as breaking out. And the only product in Purito which doesnât break my skin out as well :). Keep it refrigerated after opening and use it every night or every other night if sking is too sensitive on clean face b4 you go sleep.

Smells like burnt hot dogs and may sting your face, but it works

Turned my face bright red.
Patch test first! This serum started tingling and then turned my skin bright red. Apparently, the vitamin C and Niacinamide can cause flushing in some people.

Nice serum so far…
Received this serum today. It came in the box which was wrapped in cling film with a barcode sticker on it. I do not believe it came from the manufacturer with the cling film as Iâve revived two other products from the brand and they were not wrapped in anything. This doesnât bother me just stating how it came.The serum seemed unopened, I assumed I would need to prime the pump however it was already primed, and a large squirt of serum came out. It is clearish with a slight hint of yellow. It smells very faintly of citrus. (It could smell stronger, my allergies are terrible at the moment)The serum absorbed quickly into my skin, no issues there. It has 10% ascorbic acid and hydrolyzed collagen, these two ingredients can be sticky or tacky feeling but I felt none of that once It absorbed. I think the ingredient deck is impressive for the cost. If this turns out to be a good serum I will keep it in my skincare routine.

Me so effective baby
Very good serum. Effective results. Good price too. Be careful when applying as it will stain the whites of your nails a yellowish colour, but that’s a moot point if you wear nail lacquer I suppose.
Jâai reçu la télécommande mais il est impossible dâactivité le son et le bouton power on. Jâai tout essayé. Jâai une télévision proscan et malheureusement jâai vu que câétait un problème courant. –
Jâavais entendu de supers commentaires sur cette vitamine C mais malheureusement ma peau a mal réagi et jâai eu des boutons dâacné pendant plusieurs semaines. Ãa a pris du temps à ma peau à sâen remettre. Je suis éduquée en matière de skincare et je sais quoi ne pas mélanger mais je dois avouer avoir été déçue et avoir du arrêter. Peut être que ma peau a mal réagi et que ça fonctionnerait pour dâautres.

Fühlt sich sehr leicht an und zieht direkt ein. Nach der Anwendung ist die Haut etwas klebrig, was ich aber gar nicht schlecht finde. Der Geruch ist sehr neutral. Grundsätzlich gefällt mir das Produkt sehr gut.Leider habe ich nach drei Anwendungen plötzlich viele Pickel bekommen. Vielleicht ist das nur ein Zufall? Ich habe die Nutzung pausiert und gebe meiner Haut etwas Zeit. AnschlieÃend probiere ich es erneut.

La he probado y tb la he dejado probar a mis amigas y da miedo cómo te deja la cara, colorada como si te hubiesen pegado una buena hostia. La he dejado de usar porque no me daba confianza evidentemente.

It really works amazingly in my Skin.One routine for me.After washing face apply and thats all.Never been happy. My skin soft. Clear. Bright and feels rejuvenated all the time
I never received this delivery. It was delayed by the seller/Amazon and arrived at the delivery address later than committed. Then I wasnât offered the option to cancel it. I was charged for something I never received. –
I ordered this thinking renewal was an advanced formula but I just received the original bottle and that too with an extra charge + delivery fee. Better to order the original version directly. I have attached the pic of what I received.
