An empty review you need to read!

I've come to the end of another great product. I bought the Optimum Vitamin C serum whilst I was in Superdrug around 3 or 4 months ago. This is some indication as to how long it has lasted which is not bad when used every day. The packaging suggests it can be used morning and night, but I only use a Vitamin C serum in the morning on cleansed skin, which is correct practice unless I am mistaken. 

The packaging is compact with a clear lid. It has a nice pump to release the product which makes using it very easy. So what is the serum like? It is clear in appearance, with a stable texture and smells of citrus which was lovely each morning, a really fresh scent. I used a small amount, perhaps a UK 5p size, if that. This covered the whole of my face and my neck. The feeling initially was a little sticky on my face, however, that didn't last and it melted into my skin. Where does this fit into my skin regime? I use a Vitamin Serum on clean skin before anything else. I then apply my moisturiser, then my SPF 50 last. All of these together create a superb base for my makeup. 

The results

The serum contains 10% vitamin C and can help with fine lines and wrinkles. It also can brighten and smooth the surface of the skin. I'm now over forty, so any product that can support my ageing journey is most welcome! I will say that the daily use of the serum made my skin feel very hydrated and flexible. I'm lucky that I don't have wrinkles (yet), so I cannot comment on its success with those. I am mainly looking for my skin to look healthy, smooth, and bright and I can confirm that this serum delivered these aspects. It quickly became an integrated part of the regime, and I have missed it since I finished the tube. 

Would I buy it again?

Yes, I would. It is a great serum for a light everyday Vitamin C option. I would be interested to hear of any other Vitamin C serum options you may have used? 

I firmly believe that having a healthy diet, exercising, and drinking plenty of water all contribute to glowing skin and a healthy body and mind. Being able to use and experience various products is also lots of fun. :)
