PREVIOUS REVIEW:
I have used several types of vitamin C serum and usually have good results, with a few exceptions. This is, so far, one of my favorites. I have been using it for only a week, so if there is a great change I will update. The ingredients are exactly what I normally look for in a product, hyaluronic acid, which holds up to 2500% of its weight in water, feurulic acid which keeps on giving and of course 20% vitamin c. The smell is pleasant and the consistency is perfect. It goes on nicely and dries without a greasy film or a dry feeling. I use this before bed but imagine it could be worn under makeup without issue...depending on the makeup.
Aside from the product that I am really enjoying, I was also extremely impressed with the customer service. I am moderately-semi-self-educated on these serums and was taken aback to see the serum is orange. I've read that when a Vitamin c Serum is orange that it has oxidized and is dangerous. They also can be oxidized and still be clear right before they turn orange, so their production date is important. So I immediately contacted this company to ask about their freshness and why the product is orange. They responded quickly and in a very informative, non-condescending way. This was their email response:
Our vitamin c is map: magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, a very and highly potent and stable derivative form of vitamin c.
The vitamin c you are talking about is another derivative called laa: l-ascorbic acid, a good vitamin c that does it's job, but is very unstable and has a shelf life of less than 3 months.
MAP, has a longevity of up to 1 year. All our serums are fresh, we don't make MASS amounts and just let it sit on the shelf, we make new batches one every two weeks. The batch you will probably receive was made on Dec. 21st.

After receiving their email, I did some more research and it seems their claims are real. So don't be afraid of the orange tint to this serum like I was. When this has happened in the past I've never been able to reach anyone so I have no idea if those other products were old or simply using this same MAP form of C.
As I said, so far I am really impressed with the product. Moreover, I like purchasing from a company that cares about their customers. There are a lot of vitamin C serums out there. It is nice to find one that I feel I can trust.
By the way, I am a very prodigious reviewer and this is a real review. You can check my profile. (This is in response to the recent review posted that claims the reviews are all fake).
I received a free sample for trial. I was not compelled to write a review. This is my honest impression of this product. I receive a lot of test products and if they aren't good, I am very vocal and honest about it.
