Great stuff
-05.14.13
I love it. Most products leave my skin feeling greasy or weighed down or make me break out or get some sort of irritation, but not this. I love it and see a difference in the overall appearance of my skin. It seems to be more even in tone and texture. I have bought my second bottle.

Works well to brighten skin
-05.11.13
Quick Take: brightening
Got this as a sample and I absolutely love it. Smells awesome. I use it twice a day morning and night and after using it for a few weeks I've really noticed that my skin is brighter and has a glow to it. I barely have any discoloration and my skin looks like it did when it was 16. This stuff is great and I can't wait to get the moisturizer to see the combined effects of it.

Must buy!!
-04.27.13
Where have you been all my life camu camu?? I'm always looking for something to perfect my skin and have tried countless products, but none of them provide lasting results. This serum is AMAZING. After 2 weeks of morning and nightly use I feel comfortable not wearing foundation (I used to cover my entire face with half a dime sized amount). LOVE THIS!

I have VERY oily, acne prone skin. I am also 32. A sephora employee told me I needed to wear this during the day since I can't wear moisturizer since it breaks me out. It has been great, my skin is clearing up and looks better than ever.

Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing
This serum is much better than the cream. I use it everyday under my moisturizer of choice, which I like to vary.
People always comment on how beautiful my skin is.

Like it - waiting to see results
-04.25.13
I really like the feel and smell of this product, but it does feel like it is a little drying to my skin. My big problem, which another reviewer mentioned, is that the way the product dispenses is random, so it is too easy to waste it. The best solution I have found is to cup one hand and hold the inside edge against the side of the container. That way, even if it falls straight down (which it has) I don't waste any.

Skeptically optimistic - very impressed so far
-04.22.13
Quick Take: safe for oily girls surprisingly!
Agree w/ everyone else - the scent is fabulous. But for someone whose T-zone is the enduring issue, I review all products based on their impact on oiliness in conjunction with their product promises. I cannot believe it, but this stuff somehow keeps my oil at bay while brightening. I've been using for only a week in the morning after washing, and I see a difference in brightness without makeup, and I am not blotting excessively like usual. Long term effects TBD, and I'm not sure it's worth the price, but so far, I love the luxury of the scent and the up-front results.

Brightens and evens
-04.17.13
Quick Take: brightening, evens tone
One of Sephora's skincare specialists recommended this. She said it was their topselling product after Dr. Oz stamped his endorsement/approval and that this serum has the highest concentration of vitamin c. I'm 30-years old and 33-weeks pregnant and wanted to make sure I was doing as much for my skin as possible, considering all the changes I'm undergoing. In the few short weeks since I started using this serum, I've noticed a brighter and more even complexion. Plus, I love that this serum is immediately absorbed by my skin and allows me to apply another serum directly over it without having to wait for it to dry. I can even put it around the delicate eye area. My 61-year old mom also uses it and said she's noticed a difference as well. This is now a staple in my beauty routine.

camu camu is so so
-04.11.13
I've been using this product for a couple of weeks, every other day. Nothing great. It gives a little bit of a brightness, but I see little bumps on my skin. I will continue using it, but I will continue my search for a better vitamin c serum.

Still in the Early Stages
-04.11.13
I needed a serum that helps with my dehydrated complexion and quite frankly, I don't drink enough water and/or orange juice to help out my skin. Also, I wanted to help with the fine lines I'm starting to notice under my eyes and on my forehead. Yikes. I was recommended this product by a Sephora rep. She was extremely knowledgeable about it and not to mention on its ingredients. Therefore, I took the plunge. It's still too soon to tell, I will report back later after another month or so when it's used up. I like the smell of it - reminds me of orange juice slathered on my face. A nice wake-up scent for my morning routine. One thing I don't like about it is how it squirts out when you pump the bottle. It's not made well in how it dispenses. Be mindful about it. I do think it's helping with the hydration on my skin.

Not Worth It
-04.06.13
Quick Take: smells nice
I was looking to replace a Vitamin C serum that I haven't been able to find recently. So after reading reviews here, I thought i'd give this a shot. The only good thing I can say about it is that it smells good. But honestly, you can't expect Vitamin C results by splashing OJ on your face. If you really want results, get a real Vitamin C serum.

Worth every penny
-04.04.13
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing
I tried this when I received a sample with my Sephora order. It's hard to tell much from a sample, but the scent had me hooked so I had to buy it. I absolutely love this serum! It virtually wiped out my break out problems. That right there is worth every penny for me! My skin is smooth and feels great. I've used it consistently for 3 months and can definitely see an improvement in my skin. If you're on the fence, just get it. You won't be sorry!

Love love love

This is by far my favorite beauty product. It has cleared away my dark spots from acne scarring and under eye circles by about 60%. For the first time since I was 12 I don't have to use a heavy foundation; I can solely use a tinted moisturizer (which by the way PTR just came out with a new one in this camu camu line and its fantastic!!). Will buy forever.

I stopped by a Sephora store intending to purchase Givenchy's Photofinish foundation to cover up the redness and discoloration that popped up on my face when I started menopause. The lady there told me I had beautiful skin and needed to feed it...not cover it up. She recommended this serum and the CC cream to use as foundation. In less than a week the redness is all but gone and my skin is firmer and brighter! I couldn't be happier with it. Planning on buying the moisturizer soon as well!

I have dry skin and it was a bad idea to try this during winter time. It is a nice product but i really don't recommend for dry skin to use it during winter. I would give one more chance during summer when my skin is more hydrated!

I have never regularly used a serum before, but, despite the 80-something-dollar price tag, I really wanted to try this product. It has a potent citrus scent, which, surprisingly, I happen to love, and it makes my skin feel ultra-smooth. I have tested other serums before and this one is not so much a gel-like serum but just a runny pure-liquid serum. Because of this it's not a product you can put on your fingertips to apply. I've had to cup my hand, squirt it in there like a bowl, and then apply to my face with my other hand. It's not terrible, but I wish it could be applied like the other serums. The only other drawback for me was that it hasn't really brightened my skin. I will note that it is the middle of winter and I get considerably pale in the colder months, so it's hard to tell if my skin was dull or just pale before starting to use this product.
