Title: Quality, effective for pigmentation from surgery scars and acne, competitively priced
Review: TL/DR: great price for the clinically validated quality, I see no validity in complaints, follow-up with moisturizer after 1 minute to entirely eliminate residual (minor!) tackiness, AWESOME for healing scars.I’ve been using this on surgery scars. In October 2023, I had surgery on my scalp. The surgery itself went well, but the aftercare I received was *awful*. I ended up with several truly atrocious scars that were —lobster— red. My PCP recommended vitamin C serum to remove the redness and help with the healing process, as it would also boost collagen production. My skin tone has dramatically improved!! Thanks to this serum, you have to reeeally know where to look to see my scalp scars, rather than them being visible from across the room!So I HAPPILY purchased this again for my hysterectomy scars as soon as it was safe to apply it. (Do not apply to broken skin!) The rich blood supply to the scalp makes healing occur fairly quickly (if you’re getting proper care). The pigmentation correction on my hysterectomy scars is taking a little longer given their location. I can’t believe it took me so long to consider it. But I also have a very prominent red scar on my wrist from a type of benign growth that was removed. That scar is still the most pigmented, but it’s THE BEST it’s looked in MANY years. It’s seemed to help with flattening the scar, too?? CAVEAT: I don’t know if vitamin C is capable of flattening scars; it may be a coincidence. It also reduces blemish redness when I get an acne flare. I’m REALLY happy with my results for each use.I purchased this the first time after failed attempts at finding a high quality, high percentage vitamin C serum that didn’t dry on like sticky, thick, and gooey egg-like film that never absorbed. Vichy’s serum had come across my Amazon suggestions a number of times while I was experimenting with cheaper (and inferior) products. The price tag of Vichy “seemed” high, so I avoided buying it for a couple months. But I got tired of looking like I had dried egg whites in my hair and gave this a try. I learned this is in the price range you can expect to pay for true quality. I think it is very competitively priced for its caliber.Yes, you can buy cheaper vitamin C serums, but you get what you pay for. The cheap ones are gooey and never absorb into your skin, don’t have the same high percentage of vitamin C (some are obviously so low they don’t even disclose the percentage), and are very diluted with a needlessly and extremely long list of ingredients. This ingredient list is modest and very well-appointed, with true therapeutic levels of the ingredients, all of which are clinically researched to be effective.Many clinical studies indicate that the best range for vitamin C topicals is 10-20%, with no significant effectiveness above 20%. So the Vichy vitamin C serum at 15-16% (I’ve been purchasing it since it was originally 15% and now it is 16%) is the perfect therapeutic range.For those complaining about tackiness on the skin… It’s vitamin C y’all!! :-/ A tiny bit of tackiness is to be expected! Don’t dump it on! Wait 1 minute after patting it on for it to seep into the skin, and follow-up with your favorite moisturizer. The -mildly- tacky skin feel disappears ENTIRELY after moisturizer is applied. I also feel that it boosts the hydration of my moisturizer.I really have -no- idea why some people are complaining about the applicator top. The applicator base screws on and fits snuggly. It’s extremely effective at controlling the flow of product, which allows for easy application. The tiny screw off cap on the applicator tip doesn’t leak.

Title: High concentrations mean high effectiveness: The stickier the serum, the more effective it is
Review: I was on the hunt for a new Vitamin C serum and, having already fallen in love with Vichy Mineral 89 for its hyaluronic acid benefits, I was excited to discover that they also offer a Vitamin C product. However, I hesitated a bit after reading some reviews mentioning that the serum can feel sticky or tacky on the skin.After doing some further research, I found that this stickiness may actually be a positive trait. I came across a repeated statement on various websites: “High concentrations mean high effectiveness: The stickier the serum, the more effective it is. High concentrations of Vitamin C leave a residue that feels sticky at first but then dries down, getting absorbed into the skin.” While the stickiness can be somewhat irritating, it seems to indicate that the serum is doing its job effectively. I feel like I’m seeing good results.I ordered the old version, and I’m definitely looking forward to trying the new one when I’m ready to see the results. Overall, I recommend this product!*Just a quick tip: be careful not to use too much product, as this can increase the tackiness. It’s also important to avoid layering too many products at once. I recommend applying your toner first, followed by the Vitamin C serum, and then moving on to your hyaluronic acid. Make sure to wait at least 5 to 10 minutes before applying the next product, allowing sufficient time for each product to absorb into your skin.

Title: Lovely Liquid Vitamin C Potion
Review: I hadn’t tried Vichy product until this serum and I’m finding myself to be pleased with my purchase. It’s an ultra light liquid formula and absorbs easily into my skin. This formula has no scent, which I like as so many Vitamin C serums out there are scented and not always pleasantly. My complexion appears to be fairly luminous and healthy since beginning use of this serum. Application doesn’t sting, or feel harsh on my face. I do feel slight tingles when applying my moisturizer over it, nothing unpleasant, tells me it is effective serum really. Looking forward to continued use.

Title: Works well
Review: I purchased this to add Vitmain C into my skin care routine. I really like the consistency of this product. It’s thin and smooth. Soaks into the skin incredibly easily and quickly. There is no fragrance which I really appreciate I have noticed an improvement in my skin texture and fine lines. I think this is definitely worth the price.

Title: protection, hydration and softness
Review: Vichy vitamin C helps me a lot to get rid of the spots caused by melanocytes, as it lightens dark spots, moisturizes, protects against sun damage, increases firmness and elasticity. I use it daily along with my sunscreen. This brand is 100% dermatologically recommended.

Review: I find this the best Vit. C facial serum to use. It does not make me break out and it is a watery type of serum that absorbs pretty quickly
