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.12119 views - Most helpful negativeThe user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 1 weekRating: 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 #lykoreview280 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 5 out of 5verified customer

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.394 views - The post was made 2 weeksRating: 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!454 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The comment was made 2 weeksHi 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.1946 views - The post was made 2 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 use2099 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The comment was made 2 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.1730 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The comment was made 2 monthsHi Carmen 😊 The only thing I can think of regarding the scent is that those that smell very bad have unfortunately oxidized. Pure ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) has quite a short shelf life and is easily affected by, among other things, heat and light, so it should be used within 3 months from opening – and an expiration date should also be indicated. Often this form of Vitamin C together with ferulic acid smells a bit burnt naturally, but I didn’t find this one to do so – just like you, I didn’t notice any scent at all and I’m sensitive to smells. Wishing you a nice day 🌸

Great Vitamin C serum
I've tried many vitamin C serums some at a much higher price point than this but this is my new favorite. It goes on almost like water and dries down quickly with no pilling when I apply my makeup. Within a week I noticed an overall brightening in my complexion but didn't experience any irritation. I've had it for about 4 months and there is no sign of oxidation however I keep it in the refrigerator.1915 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 3 months
Shelf life?
It says on the product page that C-Glow has a relatively short shelf life of 8 months. On the product itself, it says 3 months, what applies? 😊💕 Lyko Kundservice1515 views- The user's roll: Farmaceut på Lyko. The comment was made 3 monthsI absolutely understand, and thank you for your feedback regarding this - I will also pass it on to the manufacturer so they can be informed. We definitely want it to be as clear as possible for our customers when purchasing🤍😊 Thank you, and I wish you the same🥰

Stinks of something terrible
Got this serum in a Lyko Lovables, but unfortunately it smells so disgusting that I can't use it, so it has to go in the trash. Some C vitamin serums tend to stink unfortunately, and this was one of them. #lykoreview #lykocreator3294 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

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.
