“I find it too oily, and I have combination skin. It didn’t feel like my skin absorbed it well. I’ve tried other Vitamin C serums that were lighter and absorbed much more quickly. I won’t be purchasing this again.”

Hi Cristabella, Thank you for sharing your feedback on our Glow-C Vitamin C 20% Serum. We're sorry to hear that you found the serum too oily and felt it didn’t absorb well on your combination skin. Our formula is designed with 20% stabilized ethylated vitamin C combined with ferulic acid and glycerin to deliver effective brightening and antioxidant protection while maintaining hydration. The glycerin in the serum can sometimes impart a more moisturizing feel, which may feel oily if your skin tends to be combination or oily. Many users find that this serum absorbs quickly without greasiness, but individual skin types vary. If you prefer a lighter texture or faster absorption, you might want to consider layering it under a lighter moisturizer or trying a vitamin C serum with a lower concentration or a more water-based formula suited for combination skin types. Thank you again for your honest review; your input helps us improve. Should you have any questions about how to best use it or recommendations for other products, please feel free to reach out. Thanks Facetheory Team

“I was looking forward to using this product as I highly rate all your products. However on applying it, it gives a strange warmth and felt very greasy. I found it didn,t soak in very quickly if at all. I woke up the following morning and all my eyes were puffy and very itchy. ( I don.t apply it to my eyes) I looked like i,d been punched. I thought it might have been something else causing it, so after a few days when it had settled I used it again, the same thing happened. I have used other vit c serum and never had this problem. So I am sorry I cannot recommend this serum. This greasy texture, I guess comes from the olive oil which can block pores and I don,t have sensitive skin. For me it was a waste of money, I won,t be using it again. I would upload a photo if I could.”

Hi Catriona, Thank you very much for your honest and detailed feedback regarding the Glow-C Vitamin C 20% Serum. We are sorry to hear about the discomfort and adverse reaction you experienced, especially since you usually have no issues with vitamin C serums. Given your description of puffiness and itching around the eyes the next day—even though you did not apply the serum near that area—it is understandable you would choose to discontinue use. Skin can sometimes react unexpectedly, and individual tolerance varies widely. We recommend conducting a patch test before applying new active serums in the future and consulting a dermatologist for persistent or severe reactions. While the serum works well for many, it may not suit every skin type or condition. Thank you again for sharing your experience; your feedback is invaluable in helping others make informed decisions. If you have any further concerns or need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out. Thanks Facetheory Team
