Amazing, even for sensitive skin
I love this serum! I have very sensitive skin (i.e.- can't use moisturizer or liquid makeup of any kind without a skin reaction) and this has helped me regain the natural glow that I had in my 20's. I've seen a distinct reduction in redness and and evening of my general skin tone which is amazing ...

Ulta's ingredient list is misleading; Beware allergies!
I was so excited to come across this product online. I'd been looking for a good Vitamin C serum to add to my regimen, but my skin is super picky. The ingredients here seemed so simple and wholesome, I really got ridiculously excited. But lo and behold, the ingredients listed on the main Ulta site a...

This actually works!!
I have very sensitive skin and have to leave my skin regimen very simple. everything breaks me out except for serums and prescribed retinol that I use sparingly. I've used this vitamin C after a dermatologist recommended I use one but there's was very expensive so I went to Ulta and bought this instead. It definitely works everyone compliments my skin on how glowy,bright and clear it looks. If you start to see a little irritation you should probably use it every other day instead of daily. I stopped using this before and my skin started looking dull and dry again so I know it definitely works.
Used to be great
Maybe I am wrong, but I think they changed the formulation with the new packaging. My skin has been breaking out recently and the only thing I have done different is use the new bottle of this. Used to be my go-to; not anymore.
Mature skin—I'm 40—and my skin looks radiant right now.
Let's talk about this: my dark circles are very noticeable. I'm just about to finish a jar, and I'm amazed. I have mature skin—I'm 40—and right now my skin looks fresh. I had some dark pigmentation on my face as well as dark circles, and they have definitely faded by about 70%. Of course, I'll keep using it. By the way, I only use this product and a CeraVe sunscreen (SPF 50).
new package-Less product costs more
Witb the new and "improved" packaging youre getting less profict now and paying more, used to be 2.0 oz, now irs 1.7. Companies think theyre sneaky but they are not.
Absolutely love
Ive used this product religiously for years and i absolutely love it!

The serum that i got is darker and smells sweeter. Almost looks like honey. Is it still safe and effective to use?
- Asked by Maine
- Official Answer By DERMA E - Brand EngageIt is normal for the batches to vary and change a little overtime. DERMA E incorporates natural ingredients such as herbs and botanicals into its formulas. Sometimes these natural ingredients have slightly different characteristics, such as color or aroma, depending upon the source and the harvest. As a result, our products may vary in color or scent or texture from batch to batch. We don’t use harsh preservatives to keep them 100% consistent.Was this answer helpful to you
