Vichy LiftActiv Vitamin C Serum For Face | Brightening Serum With 16% Pure Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin E | Improves Radiance & Firmness | Anti Aging Serum Protects Skin From Discoloration

Quality, effective for pigmentation from surgery scars and acne, competitively priced
TL/DR: great price for the clinically validated quality, I see no validity in complaints, follow-up with moisturizer after 1 minute to entirely eliminate residual (minor!) tackiness, AWESOME for healing scars.I’ve been using this on surgery scars. In October 2023, I had surgery on my scalp. The surgery itself went well, but the aftercare I received was *awful*. I ended up with several truly atrocious scars that were —lobster— red. My PCP recommended vitamin C serum to remove the redness and help with the healing process, as it would also boost collagen production. My skin tone has dramatically improved!! Thanks to this serum, you have to reeeally know where to look to see my scalp scars, rather than them being visible from across the room!So I HAPPILY purchased this again for my hysterectomy scars as soon as it was safe to apply it. (Do not apply to broken skin!) The rich blood supply to the scalp makes healing occur fairly quickly (if you’re getting proper care). The pigmentation correction on my hysterectomy scars is taking a little longer given their location. I can’t believe it took me so long to consider it. But I also have a very prominent red scar on my wrist from a type of benign growth that was removed. That scar is still the most pigmented, but it’s THE BEST it’s looked in MANY years. It’s seemed to help with flattening the scar, too?? CAVEAT: I don’t know if vitamin C is capable of flattening scars; it may be a coincidence. It also reduces blemish redness when I get an acne flare. I’m REALLY happy with my results for each use.I purchased this the first time after failed attempts at finding a high quality, high percentage vitamin C serum that didn’t dry on like sticky, thick, and gooey egg-like film that never absorbed. Vichy’s serum had come across my Amazon suggestions a number of times while I was experimenting with cheaper (and inferior) products. The price tag of Vichy “seemed” high, so I avoided buying it for a couple months. But I got tired of looking like I had dried egg whites in my hair and gave this a try. I learned this is in the price range you can expect to pay for true quality. I think it is very competitively priced for its caliber.Yes, you can buy cheaper vitamin C serums, but you get what you pay for. The cheap ones are gooey and never absorb into your skin, don’t have the same high percentage of vitamin C (some are obviously so low they don’t even disclose the percentage), and are very diluted with a needlessly and extremely long list of ingredients. This ingredient list is modest and very well-appointed, with true therapeutic levels of the ingredients, all of which are clinically researched to be effective.Many clinical studies indicate that the best range for vitamin C topicals is 10-20%, with no significant effectiveness above 20%. So the Vichy vitamin C serum at 15-16% (I’ve been purchasing it since it was originally 15% and now it is 16%) is the perfect therapeutic range.For those complaining about tackiness on the skin… It’s vitamin C y’all!! :-/ A tiny bit of tackiness is to be expected! Don’t dump it on! Wait 1 minute after patting it on for it to seep into the skin, and follow-up with your favorite moisturizer. The -mildly- tacky skin feel disappears ENTIRELY after moisturizer is applied. I also feel that it boosts the hydration of my moisturizer.I really have -no- idea why some people are complaining about the applicator top. The applicator base screws on and fits snuggly. It’s extremely effective at controlling the flow of product, which allows for easy application. The tiny screw off cap on the applicator tip doesn’t leak.

Highly Effective Product, Despite Its Liquid Consistency
Although I’m not particularly fond of the very liquid consistency, I was aware of this from VICHY’s advertisements. I initially aimed to purchase the version with 1% less ascorbic acid, but with the formula now containing 16%, it seems to be an improvement. I am truly impressed with the results. My skin looks healthy and radiant, with a natural glow. I highly recommend this product for anyone seeking a noticeable boost in skin brightness and vitality.

Best addition to my skincare routine
This vitamin C serum is amazing! I apply it every morning, and my skin has never looked better. It gives me a radiant glow, and people keep asking what I’m using on my skin.

Didn’t work for me
The product is nice, however, after consistent use I have not noticed a difference in my skin.

El gotero del envase me encanto! Asi no haces tiradero ni desperdicias producto. En cuanto al producto es EXCELENTE! ten en cuenta que una verdadera vitamina C es pegajosa y viscosa y te deja la cara brillosa y tarda en absorberse. Un gran tip es mojarte la cara y manos ligeramente y luego aplicar la vitamina C con la cara y manos mojadas y asi desliza mucho mejor y necesitas menos producto para cubrir hasta el cuello y se absorbe mucho mejor y no te deja brilloso de nada!

Ho acquistato in passato più volte questo siero e quindi ho notato che questo ultimo prodotto sembra moto meno concentrato di quelli precedenti, tanto da apparire poco più di acqua leggermente colorata. Vedremo l’efficacia…

Daha önce kullandığım C vitamini serumlar daha katı kıvamıydı, Vichy’nin Çok sıvı bir kıvamı var. Ayrıca damlalıklı yapmamaları çok iyi olmuş, bu şekilde daha uzun süre bozulmadan gider.
