What It Is

A vitamin C-based skincare product that's formulated with 20% pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid).

  • What It's For

    All skin types.

  • What It Does

    Its patented, encapsulated delivery system works its magical full-strength results from first pump to last with no degrading of color or formula. Skin smoothness and radiance improves immediately and over time, and the patented formula is safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Skin tone and texture become more even and firm, while lines, wrinkles and dark spots are diminished. All of this adds up to radiant, glowing and healthy-looking skin.

    While many products contain a form of vitamin C, this ingredient is difficult to contain and stabilize within formulas. BeautyStat did comparison stability testing versus leading competitor vitamin C products and BeautyStat's formula remains pure and active while other formulas oxidize, turning orange or brown.

  • Key Ingredients

    - Formulated with 20% pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and three patents to create a stable full-strength formula from first pump to last.
    - EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) is the most important active component of green tea, which synergizes with vitamin C for the strongest protection.
    - Squalane, derived from olive seeds, provides light moisture for even the most sensitive skin.
    - Tartaric acid provides the optimum pH level for skin absorption.

It works!

I received this product complimentary in exchange for my honest review. This is a bit on the denser than lotion side and has a light to fair skintone coloration. I feel the color of it gives a brightening appearance to my under eye areas. It does make my skin feel rather silky soft and hydrated. I have noticed a more even color to my complexion. It's not as splotchy looking overall, as it was. It hasn't lightened 1 aged spot I have at all, but everywhere else, definite visible results! Happily I haven't had any uncomfortable sensation, nor irritation from the use of this product.

Bottle wasn't full

There were only a few pumps worth of lotion in the whole bottle.

love product HATE pump

I bought this a few months ago and I'm seeing improvement in my dark spots. I have very sensitive skin and can get red or breakout easily, this hasn't caused either of those issues, only a little stinging at application but that is likely from other products I'm using at the same time, and it dissipates quickly. My only complaint with this product is the bottle - I'm all for an airless pump, but this has to be the WORST designed bottle I've ever worked with. I hope they take reviews into consideration in the future and change the packaging - I may not buy in the future if I continue to have this much trouble getting it out.

dry, grainy, pilling

I got this in a sampler box and was looking forward to it as vitamin c products help with my sun damage. I tried using it, really I did. But the texture is so grainy and dry and it ends up making a paste on my finger tips. The product that stays on my face ends up pilling when I apply other products over it. I also think it started breaking me out. I have relegated it to use on my hands/arms as I can't take putting it on my face any more. While it may have given me a pimple, it didn't cause any burning and it doesn't have any scent, a star for that. But, really, quite a disappointment in a product. I can't even say if it had any positive effect.

good

I use vitamin C every morning, so I buy a lot of products with this ingredient. I thought it was a serum, but it turned out to be a light cream and I apply it as a second serum under SPF. It applies well, mattifies the skin well even over an oil serum, is not felt on the skin, does not conflict with anything. I like it

Love this product!

I just bought this after using few samples for a week. I love its formula so much, I can tell it works well to reduce my dark spots. There is only downside that I don’t like is its bottle. It’s so hard to pump out.

Stunned at the reviews

I use it every so often and find it makes my facial skin softer. I love the way it feels on my skin too. However I notice the reviewers slamming this product mention make up and “pilling” (I had never heard of that word before). As a male reviewer who doesn’t wear make up I can say I really like this product.
