Geek & Gorgeous - C-Glow - 15% Vitamin C + Ferulic acid & Vitamin E Serum, protects against environmental damage, boosts collagen & evens skin tone - all skin types, 1 oz

I am so happy to have found this product. I love Skinceiticals CE Ferulic serum and it worked so well on my skin. The price, however, is a real turnoff. G&G is the perfect dupe, even down to the smell!! My skin looks and feels the same way it did with Skinceiticals!! I have tried all the dupes out there, and this is the closest I found. The serum is lightweight, absorbs quickly, but most importantly it works just as well as the expensive brands!

This is a good value, and a great find. It's smells like hot dog water, but that's OK because I don't want added fragrance to my products.

I have been using this product for about a week now, and I do think it's helping my skin. My skin look brighter, and more even. I always use a Vitamin C serum in the morning, and this one was recommended to me, so when I ran out of my other one, I decided to give this one a try. The box came opened and damaged, but the bottle was sealed. I was worried because the serum smelled like it had expired. I has a very "bad orange" or maybe rotten fruit smell to it. I thought maybe my serum had been sent to me expired, but then I read more comments and saw that there is a smell to this. I can live with the smell, since I do layer more serums on top of it, so the smell goes away and I do notice a difference in my skin so I do think it's effective. But once this is gone, I don't think I will repurchase.

I’ve tried a few vitamin C serums, and this one is easily a favorite. It has a super lightweight texture that absorbs quickly without feeling greasy or sticky. I’ve been using it in the mornings, and it layers perfectly under sunscreen and makeup. After a couple weeks, I noticed a more even tone and overall glow, especially around some old acne spots. No irritation at all, which is huge for my sensitive skin. I love that it includes ferulic acid and vitamin E too — it feels like a solid formula that actually does what it says.

So good

Truly don’t know how anyone can tolerate this. It smells like hot dog water—and that smell doesn’t dry down or go away. It stays with you all day.I’m coming off of using The Ordinary’s Ascorbyl Glucoside and honestly, I prefer that product. It works, it doesn’t smell, and the texture is better.This is like water. Difficult to apply. Expires quickly. Smells terrible. Wish I could return it but I missed the window.

I read several reviews and researched this product before purchasing because it was compared to a Skinceuticals product. Another review on Amazon said it smells like hot dog water that you couldn’t get away from. I thought, how bad can it be? They were right! I could not unsmell it! Also, I licked my lip at one point after applying the product and it was so nasty and there was the hot dog water again. As a product, it does what it states it will do. It gave me a dewy, hydrated appearance but I didn’t use it more than a few times due to the hot dog water smell. I am not overly sensitive to smells with my skincare products but this one was too much. It cannot be returned so I’m stuck with it and I’ll gift it to a friend who doesn’t mind. I’m not sure who the lucky recipient will be!

I have been influenced to buy a lot of beauty products over the years but this one was a win. I am very acne prone and a lot of the other well used vitamin c serums cause me to breakout. I’m glad to say this one is so light and no issues thus far.
