I bought Algenist’s Genius Vitamin C+ Serum and I just ran out of this bottle this week. It’s time to review it!
This formula contains a vitamin C derivative called 3-O ethyl ascorbic acid. The active form of vitamin C is called ascorbic acid, and all derivatives must be converted to ascorbic acid on the skin to be effective.
As we all know, vitamin C is an unstable vitamin, but 3-O ethyl ascorbic acid should be a more stable form, and the sealed pump package should also protect components that are sensitive to light and air.
It smells like a faint fluffy marshmallow scent. Although very subtle. It received a 5-star rating from Paula’s website, which is why I tried it in the first place.
I am so glad I did it! It contains enough vitamin C to help improve dull skin tone, but not enough to irritate my skin. In addition, I like that it is packed in a bottle, so the sun can’t reach it, which will deteriorate the vitamin C.
However, I really like this serum, my skin looks smoother and more refined. There are dark spots on the left side of my face, which look a little darker, but they are still there. In general, since I started using Vitamin C+ serum, my skin has improved.
The texture is a very light serum that can be absorbed into the skin immediately without leaving a sticky feeling like other vitamin C serums. I highly recommend it!
