[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I didn’t think a vitamin C serum could ever be considered “luxury” but this blew it completely out of the water for me. First of all, the packaging is gorgeous, it’s slim, cool to the touch, and has a weight to it. The product comes out clear and scentless which I appreciate. It’s watery in texture, almost like a slightly viscous toner. The speed at which it sunk in surprised me, not even a minute after I apply it my face is tacky and ready for the next skincare. Its lightened my acne marks after consistent use for about a month or two, and knowing it also improves the potency of my sunscreen is a great bonus.

A luxury experience!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I’ve been using this Augustine’s Bader vitamin C serum every day for a couple of months and overall I really like it! The packaging is gorgeous and feels super high-end; definitely something you want to keep out on your counter to display. The formula itself is lightweight, silky, and absorbs quickly without feeling sticky or greasy. It also layers well with other products which is a huge plus, and doesn’t cause skin irritation like other vitamin C serums. It has a light, slightly perfume scent that gives it that classic luxury skincare feel without being too strong. After using it for several weeks I’ve noticed a subtle brightness and more even tone in my skin - nothing dramatic overnight, but a nice, natural glow over time. Overall, I’d recommend it if you enjoy high-end skincare and want something that feels indulgent while also gives you stunning, natural results. I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

Missed the mark for me
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I was excited and over the moon to test this Vitamin C serum. Yet somewhat hesitant because I really didn’t want it to work so well that I needed it, as it is most definitely out of my budget. Being a little thicker than water it dispenses well and absorbs quickly. It’s been 40 days and I can’t say that it has done anything for my dark spots, but I feel like it does make my skin somewhat brighter and I have noticed a slight plump to my lines. Overall, I love the packaging and product. Just not the price.

Not a fan
I found this serum very drying. Did nothing for my dark spots and melasma.

Smells?
Not sure if I got a bad product but it smells fishy. Either it had gone bad due to improper storage before I got it or there’s something in the ingredients list. Maybe not everyone’s experience but I ended up tossing it, such a shame

The Ultimate Glow
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This serum is a powerhouse! The formula is incredibly potent, noticeably brightening my dull skin while smoothing texture. It leaves a radiant, dewy finish that looks effortless. It absorbs beautifully and works wonders for my sensitive, dry skin type. Truly an effective, luxurious glow in a bottle.
