My [crows] feet were fading away and the lines around my mouth and my frown lines in between my brows were fading as well. Now a few weeks in, I see a huge difference. I love this product and will continue to use it. My skin looks amazing. It has also diminished my stretch marks on my belly a lot. Miracle serum,” echoes another.

Is it for you?

Like retinol and glycolic acid, vitamin C tackles most common visible signs of ageing. But it’s best known for is its ability to brighten and even the skin tone and eliminate dark spots caused by acne and sun damage.

And let’s face it, dark spots are the worst. Not only do they tarnish the appearance of healthy, youthful skin, but they can also take weeks (even months) to heal fully. But with regular use of this serum, it will reduce the look of dark spots, hyperpigmentation and discolouration in little time.
