ConsSince it's pure vitamin C, the formulation is not great. It feels like my face is tingling. I really need to use it together with another moisturizing ampoule or something similar.

If I apply it consistently, it seems the dark spots are definitely fading, but I haven't noticed my skin getting lighter yet. I think I need to use it more to see the full effects.
ConsIt is extremely sticky. It's fine if I apply something like a moisturizer on top, but over time the stickiness comes back up, and it's a bit difficult with my hair sticking.
TipApparently, it's best to apply this as the very first step in your skincare routine. And it's said to be more effective when applied in the evening rather than the morning. Also, I'd recommend thoroughly absorbing it before applying your moisturizer. That's supposed to enhance the results.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAs I age year by year, the freckles and blemishes seem to become more noticeable, so I looked into Vitamin C products and tried the COSRX Vitamin C 23 Serum. The high 23% concentration meant that there was a slight stinging sensation the first time I used it. On sensitive days, my skin would appear slightly reddened, but after about two days, I got used to it. The serum has a thin, lightweight texture, and leaves a slightly oily glow when applied. The absorption is faster than expected, and I was initially a bit surprised by the greasy feel. However, when I apply it at night and wake up in the morning, my skin looks brighter, and I can definitely see an improvement in my remaining spots and dull complexion.
ConsThe oxidation is quite fast. It seems like it needs to be used up within 2-3 months after opening. (Refrigeration is essential!) For sensitive skin, the stinging sensation may be a persistent concern. Those who dislike the sticky or oily shine after application may find it uncomfortable. However, considering the price, it is quite a decent product among the high-concentration pure vitamin C products in terms of ingredients and effectiveness. Especially for those concerned with blemishes/tone improvement, consistent use may result in quite satisfactory changes. (However, for those new to vitamin C serums, the concentration may feel too high, so it is recommended to start with a small amount cautiously!)

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe vitamin concentration is high, but the advantage is that it is inexpensive. However, it did not cause any irritation or redness. We recommend starting with a lower level and gradually adapting your skin before using it.
ConsThe concentration was a bit too high for me, so it stung a little. First of all, it was a product with particularly poor absorbency. It was too sticky, and even when I applied a cream on top, it was seriously sticky. Also, it was a highly acidic vitamin product, so when it touched other areas, it felt like it was leaving a yellowish residue.
TipVitamin products are easily oxidized, so it is recommended to open and use them within two months. It is also recommended to store them in a cool place away from direct sunlight.

There are many more expensive vitamin C products, but this one is quite affordable, which is great!! I haven't really noticed major effects, but my skin tone does seem brighter compared to before using it.
ConsIt was a bit disappointing that the effects were not very significant and the volume was not large. However, the product has more advantages than disadvantages.
