Hi there, my darlings! I have one more post for all of you this evening! Recently, through one of my blogger networks, I came across the opportunity to review a Vitamin C serum. Now, I've never used one of these serums personally and I was really curious about not only the benefits to one's skin but also how this product would feel personally--I have rather sensitive skin so a lot of products that work marvelously on most people do nothing for me or have adverse effects! Not fun!
So, before I even signed up to review the product, I did some reading--not only of the product's description but also various reviews on Google. Armed with all this information and 2 weeks of regular nightly use, let's take a look at Valencia Even Glow Vitamin C Serum, available on Amazon.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
-EVENS SKIN TONE:
Vanquish dark spots and skin discoloration, replacing uneven and ill-textured skin with smooth, wrinkle-free skin that leaves you looking flawless and ageless.
-INCREASES GLOW & RADIANCE:
Revitalize your skin with essential fatty acids that leave skin smooth and visibly brighter. Smooth skin capable of reflecting light will give your skin a youthful glow and a brilliant shine for that well-rested and refreshed look.
-ABSORBS RAPIDLY:
Moisturizes skin due to the capacity of the hyaluronic acid to absorb water, thereby increasing fluid between cells, giving your skin a smoother and younger appearance. This intense water absorption means no more dry, peeling or cracked skin, even in extreme weather.
-BOOSTS COLLAGEN PRODUCTION:
The presence of Organic Rosehip Seed oil to support Vitamin C increases collagen production so your skin retains the elasticity responsible for a youthful appearance and prevents skin sagging associated with aging. Enjoy smooth and supple skin that takes years off your appearance.
-REDUCES WRINKLES & FINE LINES:
Reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles with the help of our foundation 20 % Vitamin C. Special ingredients such us Hyaluronic Acid and Organic Sea Buckthorn oil work to plump up the skin, which reduces fine lines and wrinkles in the skin so it is smoother, clearer and younger.

KEY INGREDIENTS
-Vitamin C: With a 20% concentration does more than boost the body’s immune system; it also provides many benefits to keep the skin tight, smooth and looking ageless. Vitamin C has been scientifically proven to reduces the effects of sun exposure on the skin, including sunburn, sun spots, redness and wrinkles.
In addition to helping reduce the signs of aging, Vitamin C is essential for everyday maintenance to strengthen and smooth out the skin, as well as neutralizing free radicals before they can damage the skin.
-Organic Rosehip Seed Oil & Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil - These oils promote skin hydration and lock in moisture to protect your skin from signs of aging and improve its beauty and youthfulness. Rosehip Oil specifically has been used in medical communities around the world for those with serious skin ailments and only recently has North America learned to embrace natural solutions from our ancestors. These two organic oils are full of antioxidants and therefore act as the perfect supporting cast for our best friend - Vitamin C
-Resistem (Plant Stem Cells) - This provides the perfect mix of protection from stress-related aging and promotes skin detoxification. Resistem will help your skin regenerate faster while protecting it from environmental stressors.
-Hyaluronic Acid (Botanical) - Holding up to 1000 times its weight in water and drawing moisture out of the environment and onto the surface of your skin ,there is not a more effective moisturizing agent on the market today. Penetrates deeply, and actives collagen production for a fresher, younger, firmer, and brighter complexion
-Green Tea Extact- The catechins in green tea are a potent antioxidant which also contribute to the overall anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant benefits of this ancient health and beauty secret.
MY IMPRESSIONS : I loved the fresh, citrus scent of this product--it smells just like freshly squeezed orange juice! And the vibrant orange color of the serum lends to that impression too. Once applied, my face did feel more taut, more springy, more elastic and my skin smoother and softer to the touch. I didn't suffer any of the adverse effects like acne or breakouts that are common with the use of a new product. But, even after 2 weeks using this product religiously, I didn't notice any significant reduction in the slight acne scars I have left on my face nor did I notice my skin "glowing" as such--perhaps a loner period of use would be more beneficial. Overall, I'm not sure this product will become a staple of my skincare routine but it was a generally positive experience for me!
If you would like to try Valencia's Even Glow Vitamin C Serum for yourself, you can find it ON AMAZON HERE for the price of $35.00 including shipping for a 1.18 oz bottle--remember a little goes a long way with this product!
