A nice ascorbic acid serum
Ascorbic acid is known to be unstable, so it's important to use the product within a few months. You can store it in the fridge.14190 views - Most helpful negativeThe user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 2 monthsRating: 1 out of 5
Affordable Vitamin C product, but no visible results for me
I have used Geek & Gorgeous C-Glow daily for exactly three months. The serum has a light texture that absorbs quickly and works well with other skincare. Unfortunately, I did not notice any clear improvement in skin radiance or tone during the test period. I also found the scent quite strong and somewhat reminiscent of fish oil or omega 3, which detracted from the overall impression for me. One aspect I do think is worth highlighting is the product's shelf life. According to the manufacturer, the serum lasts eight months from production and new batches are produced continuously. However, my bottle only had about three months left until the expiration date when I received it. This meant I had to open and start using the product immediately, without the option to plan when I wanted to introduce it into my skincare routine. For me, this is a downside as I prefer to have some flexibility when trying new products. A tip for other users is to store the serum in the refrigerator. I find that it helps the product feel fresh longer, while also giving a cool and pleasant sensation upon application. In summary, I appreciate the idea behind a fresh Vitamin C formula and the well-thought-out ingredient list, but the product did not meet my personal expectations regarding user experience and results. #lykomission #lykoreview1641 views - The post was made 2 weeksRating: 4 out of 5verified customer
Light serum
Of the ones I've tried so far, this seems to be a good vitamin C serum. Looking forward to seeing if it shows any results🥰 No irritation or anything like that on my skin. The only negative is that the consistency is very runny, like water. Which makes it a bit difficult to apply without it running off your fingers and skin. You just have to be very quick😅 I wish it had a slightly thicker consistency #lykoreview925 views - The post was made 3 weeksRating: 5 out of 5verified customer
From skeptical to saved! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Skin type: oily/combination Skin issues: tendency to deep, underground pimples, Rosacea, PIE. As a person with Rosacea, I have always been afraid to try vitamin C for fear that my skin wouldn’t tolerate it… so I never took the chance. I’ve had skin problems since my youth, and even prescription creams haven’t given the effect I hoped for. So what was a vitamin C serum supposed to do anyway? After years of problems, I thought, screw it! … and I am simply blown away. This has been a total game-changer for me. As someone who has been forced to be above average interested in skincare, I did my research: 🧴 contains 15% pure L-ascorbic acid in a light, water-based formula (perfect for oily skin girlies) with a low pH of 3.2–3.4. This provides optimal conditions for absorption into the skin. The low pH can also contribute to a mild exfoliating effect for some (at least that’s how it feels for me). I haven’t had a SINGLE acne breakout (‼️knock on wood) since I started with C-Glow, and my skin feels significantly less oily throughout the day. Vitamin C is best known for its effect on pigmentation spots (PIH), but personally, I feel it has had a big effect on my post-inflammatory redness (PIE). The red spots after acne used to last for several months (😢), but now they have faded significantly and new ones disappear much faster than before. Together with ferulic acid and vitamin E, the formula is more stable and provides an effective antioxidant combination. What has perhaps surprised me the most is that I also experience less general redness in my skin. With rosacea, I was afraid a strong vitamin C serum would make my skin worse, but for me, it has actually been the opposite. I believe the reduction in PIE has helped contribute to this. My opinion: My skin hasn’t become perfect in two months, but after two months I have better skin than I’ve had in my entire adult life. WARNING‼️⚠️ If you have rosacea or very sensitive skin, you should tread carefully. I’ve been lucky to tolerate it well, but that concentration of L-ascorbic acid is too strong for many in this group. Temporary tingling/stinging and slight redness are to be expected, but if the skin burns or becomes clearly irritated, that’s a sign of 🛑✋🏼. I must be clear that I have oily/combination skin which likely contributes to my tolerance. We all have different skin, and what works for me doesn’t necessarily work for you… but if you’re going to invest in a vitamin C serum, I recommend starting here. My tips: ✨ Use the product daily! ✨ Be consistent with your skincare routine, small things over time make a big difference. ✨ Remember SPF! ☀️ #love239 views - The post was made 1 month
Storage
How should one store this? In a dark space inside the bathroom? At the same time, it's room temperature and sometimes warmer due to the shower. Or in the fridge? The risk is that I might forget the product there instead.778 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The comment was made 1 monthHi Frida! 👋🏼😊 The vitamin C serum is quite sensitive to light, heat, and air, so how you store it really affects how long it stays stable and effective 🤗 The best is to store it cool and dark. A refrigerator is absolutely optimal if you want to extend its shelf life, but it’s not a must; a cool cabinet outside the bathroom also works really well 🫶🏼 The bathroom usually works fine too if you have a cabinet, but keep in mind that heat and steam from the shower can affect stability over time. Have a great day continuing ☀️

Smell
The product smells very strong. I know ferulic acid can cause some smell, but I have had other vitamin C serums that are nowhere near as strong smelling as this one. Unfortunately, it has a bit of a "sour" smell.1278 views - The post was made 2 monthsRating: 2 out of 5verified customer
Burnt my skin
I've tried to incorporate this product into my routine for some months now, but no matter how carefully or slowly I introduce it I always end up with a damaged skin barrier. I believe the product itself would be very effective for people who can tolerate it, but sadly not for me 😢 I did not have any issue with the smell as other reviews had though!1220 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The comment was made 2 monthsHi Aja! 👋 Thank you for sharing your experience of Geek & Gorgeous C-Glow Serum 💛 Sorry to hear that your skin didn’t seem to tolerate the product, despite introducing it carefully. Vitamin C can be active and sometimes feel too strong for sensitive or already stressed skin, even when used gradually. Feel free to get in touch if you’d like tips on products in the skincare jungle. All the best!

Very satisfied
Very light consistency and does not make the skin oily. Dries quickly into the skin.2568 views - The post was made 4 monthsRating: 2 out of 5verified customer
Good price but not much more than that
Has a special scent but I think it's okay. However, I noticed no difference after 4 months of use2660 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The comment was made 4 monthsHi Kaisu 😊 Thank you for your review! When you mention the scent, it makes me wonder if it might have oxidized, because mine, which is brand new, doesn’t smell at all. Pure ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) has a fairly short shelf life and is easily affected by heat and light, among other things, so it should be used up within 3 months of opening – and there should also be an expiration date on it. Often this form of Vitamin C combined with ferulic acid smells a bit burnt, but I didn’t find that with this one, and I’m sensitive to scents. If you notice anything like that next time or have any concerns, feel free to reach out and we’ll check it out right away since it varies between different brands 🙏 Wishing you a great day 🌸

It works for me
I use the Vitamin C serum every other morning. I tolerate it well, but I don’t have sensitive skin anyway. The consistency is a bit too runny for me. I prefer thicker serums. I was surprised that some people here criticize the scent of the serum. My serum has no scent at all, and I get bothered very quickly by bad smells from facial products. So I wonder why not all bottles have the same scent.2151 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The comment was made 1 monthHi Frida! 👋🏼😊 So great that you ordered this 😍 To keep C-Glow as fresh and effective as possible, it is recommended to store it in the refrigerator after opening, specifically to minimize oxidation and preserve the stability of the vitamin C. If it feels inconvenient in everyday life, it also works really well to pour some into a smaller bottle and keep it in the bathroom, while the original bottle is stored in the fridge 👌🏼 Have a lovely day ☀️

Description
Ingredients
A super-light, water-like 15% Vitamin C + extra antioxidants (Ferulic Acid & a smaller amount of Vitamin E) formula to give the skin environmental protection, boost collagen & even the skin tone. Skin type: all skin types - please do a patch test if you have sensitive skin
Skin concern: dark spots, aging, dull & uneven skin Pure Vitamin C (or Ascorbic Acid) is a 3-in-1, clinically proven superstar that gives the skin environmental protection (antioxidant), boosts the skin's own collagen production and fades hyperpigmentation. This water-light formula contains 15% Vitamin C & extra antioxidants to give a healthy glow, even and firm the skin. The disadvantage of pure Vitamin C is that it is super unstable, and hard to formulate with. This formula uses a low pH and extra antioxidants to help to stabilize Vitamin C, but even like this, C-Glow comes with a relatively short, 8 months shelf-life. key ingredients:
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid – 15%) – A clinically proven active that gives the skin environmental protection (antioxidant), boosts collagen production and fades hyperpigmentation. Also gives an instant glow to the skin.
Ferulic acid + Vitamin E – Antioxidants that help to stabilize Vitamin C and increase its antioxidant power. The formula contains a high amount of Ferulic Acid, and a smaller amount of vitamin E.
Dimethyl Isosorbide – A new-generation solvent that aids the proper penetration of Vitamin C + solubilizes the high amount of Ferulic Acid into the formula.
Use:
Apply a few drops to the face after cleansing, before using other serums and/or creams. Ideal to use in the AM but can be applied PM as well. As the C-Glow formula has a water-like texture, it is recommended that you put a drop directly onto your face and quickly pat it on with your other hand.
