What color is the serum? I just received one, and its light golden. As far as I know, Vit C serum supposed to be clear or that means its oxidized

I've been using this serum for years. Upon receipt, the color has been anywhere from clear to SLIGHTLY golden. As the serum ages, the color will turn gold. The research I have done on the product claims this is a normal process does not alter the potency of the serum. I have found this to be true. However, if I ever received a NEWLY purchased bottle that was too deeply golden, I would probably return it, asking for a serum that had not been sitting around for a while, or had possibly been opened. If the serum is going to age, I want it to be on my own time!

I have purchased several of this serum over the last year and each time it has been light golden.

The newest bottle I received was about one year from now expectation date. I would look at the date sometimes Amazon sellers send almost expired bottles. I love the product. It will have a slight tint if fresh but not golden.

Mine have always been light golden and as I reach the bottom of the bottle it definitely darkens.

Sorry! I meant Vit. C. Also 100% pure hyaluronic acid. No favorite name - I shop the internet for value and strength.

Mine is CLEAR. I have ordered twice and both bottles have clear serums. Two week update: The remaining serum in my first bottle has turned very slightly yellowish. I think this is because of exposure to light, so I am taking care now to store the bottle away between uses.

The first 3 sets of bottles it was an off-white color, now they are white. It may have been that the outside clear capsule was discolored? The color doesn't seem to affect the effectiveness of it and it still works great for me! And like some of the other reviews state... you need to keep using it once you stop all of the pain and other symptoms come back within days.

Hello W. Huang, because this is a serum it will not be 100% clear. It will have some cloudiness to it and this is totally normal. Please don't hesitate to let me know if I can help with any questions you may have. Thank you, Craig

This is MJ from La Beaute Pure. That is a great question! Currently our Vitamin C Serum contains almost 20% Vitamin C. Due to adding so many extra botanicals to our product, our manufacturer informed us that to add more would make the product too runny. The good news is that they have just formulated a new serum that will contain a new blend of potent botanicals with extra vitamin C making it 20% The new blend will be stronger yet the same consistency. The new formulation will be ready in a couple of weeks. The best of the best just got better! We will launch the new formula with extra Vitamin C in the next few weeks. Thank you!

I've not used any with vit c yet. Only the straight ha and the one with retinol. I like the straight one best cuz it seems to be more moisturizing. The one with retinol, I use on scars and it seems to be reducing them. I plan to try vit c next time. How this helps,

If it turns yellow it most definitely *is* oxidized and shouldn't be used. There is no benefit to oxidized vitamin C and I'd even guess that it could have the opposite of the intended effect. I personally stay far away from oxidized vitamins. That said, I don't see how a formula of plain ascorbic acid and water could be stable. It's a perfect recipe for fast oxidation.

I also find the serum to be authentic. I think the pricing in malls is very high, but pricing online seems fairly consistent. I only buy online now.JW

I was told that vitamin C serums should be clear and that darker colors indicate the delicate ingredients have turned or lost their efficacy.

I have been using the serum for about a month. I do see a difference in the texture of my skin. I am 59 years old, and have been diligent with keeping my skin healthy, including trying to reduce lines and wrinkles. I use the serum with a collagen crme, sunblock, retin A and hydroquinone (not necessarily all at the same time). I cannot say for certain that the serum is the sole reason for my healthy skin, but it is a contributing factor. I bought this serum since it was a 20% Vit C and it was the best price. Some folks have complained of the smell, but I don't notice any bad odor from the serum. I hope this helps.

I'm on my forth bottle and the capsules should be a light golden color similar to how flax seed oil or vitamin E would look. Not sure about a green capsule. Call the mfg and ask them.

It is a Vit C Serum. We would suggest after application that you follow with a good quality moisturizer that will help to seal in all the goodness of the Vitamin C Serum and the organic ingredients.

The bottle does not provide any information. I will be using a different multivitamin after this bottle is empty because the vitamin C is in an incomplete form. The replacement is from Nutrigold. You may want to look into them. nutrigold.com

Mine has always come as a solid cream. It could be the hot weather. Can you let it set, like someplace cool and see if it solidifies? I would also contact Reviva Labs and check with them. I don't know if the -- what sounds like melted - cream harms the Vit. K but that's one question I would ask. Sorry I can't be more help.

Maybe the manufacturer can probably give more information about it. But no, this is not 20% Vitamin C as my skin is very sensitive. 20% will cause sensitivity to my skin and also I have to be watchful when i go under the sun. As the UV will cause mild burn on my skin. And thats why most of the people buying 20% higher percentage Vit C serum are advised to use high SPF. I love this Loressen Vitamin C because it is gentle to my skin without worrying about the effects caused by the sun.

Hi, Thanks for asking. We are using L-Ascorbic Acid in our serum to enjoy also its gentle exfoliating properties. Have a great weekend, F. Poletti
