I have the concerns with the packaging though. My second and third bottle had issue with lid. As it does not close properly, the product oxidizes quickly and results in waste of money.
I want to buy it again but due to the lid issue, I am hesitant.
The one issue I had was with the seller. I ordered the 2oz version (and paid over $10 for shipping alone) and received a 1oz. I had to contact Florenmolamarts so that the seller would agree to send another 1oz bottle (for the total of 2oz) and had to keep nagging the seller for over 3 weeks before they actually sent it. They sent it with another different bottle (maybe as a sorry for the wait) but by then Florenmolamarts had already processed a refund.
I would recommend this product, but maybe get it from another seller or a store near you.
Good product
felt it was worth a second try.
Update- 5/23/2023
While I still haven’t changed my mind with how I feel about the product(s)- I was using the whole line of cleanser, serum, day/night creams, I do wish to give a shout out to the customer service for this company.
Erica reached out to me, and was genuinely concerned that the products didn’t work for me. I was offered a refund on the products, so I didn’t really lose out on anything except the irritation I experienced on my face & neck! LOL…
She also recommended other products I may be interested in, but not in a “pushy” way, that would make a person uncomfortable. I would give this company, and it’s products a try- which I’m going to do again, just based on their great CS!
My big issue with this is how thin it is. It dissolves into your skin very quickly and you have to use a lot sometimes to feel like you're getting a good coverage. Most serums I used before have a gel-like ness to them that feels like you're really getting the coverage. Often I feel like most if it melts into my hands before it gets to my face. Even applying it directly to my face doesn't help.
This is also quite annoying cause it's only 1 fl. oz so you end up going through it very quickly and it gets quite expensive. I suggest past on this one. I'm using the Derma-E now and that at least has better coverage.
Me gusta como tensa y refresca la piel
No sé todavía si da resultados pero lo seguiré usando!
I like the effect.
The product is fine. I don’t really know much about skincare and I don’t see any major differences. It doesn’t irritate my skin or react poorly with my moisturiser. It doesn’t have a strong smell and it’s easy to use. I’ve been using it for a year already and my skin seems to be doing fine.
Update - I am updating this because the company contacted me and asked if they could be of assistance. They ended up sending a different product free of charge which really makes the skin under my eyes feel soft. The customer service was terrific.
Update: after 6 months use of this product, I feel I can see my face brighter and smoother, my acne is disappeared too. I apply it every morning, and then I use sunscreen on top.
It dries into your skin fast so it's not left oily if that's a concern.
I do use it with other oils for extreme moisturizer benefits, as I tend to have normal/dry skin depending on weather. I'll update after longer usage if there are any changes.
One thing is that the pipette is sooo fragile! It breaks easily! Such a downside that can be fixed so easily by making the pipettes higher quality...
Turns out that I used a different Vit C product dating back to 2009, and then switched to this brand in 2016. The seller/manufacturer did reach out to me to offer a refund for the product, which I appreciated. They also offered to resend me a new bottle or something else. I opted for something else since I had already purchased another Vit C serum to replace this brand. I’m adding a star because this is excellent customer service. And I hope to return back to this brand another try when my current bottle with another brand is empty.

Original review:
I’ve been using this exact product since 2009, back when it was $12-15. My most recent repurchase seems to be either a bad batch or just the brand coming down on quality. Something must have changed with the formula or potency because it does NOT have that same brightening effect on me. It still gives a decent moisturize base but not much else. Maybe I got my first bad batch in a decade? Idk but at $35, it ain’t cheap anymore to repurchase just to figure it out. Disappointed.
It’s ok but not enough for me to buy again. I’m so sorry for this review I’m bummed that I could not do a better review for them but I have to speak truths
His face resembles a red tomato. He’s tried all sorts of stuff to bring the redness down with not much luck. We read in the Florenmolamarts reviews of this product there was a woman who said she had good luck in using it to “cure” her Rosacea issue. I doubt it “cured” that issue it but suspect it went a long way to getting it under control.
So our friend starts using this product as directed on his face twice per day, morning and night (followed by a Vitamin C based re hydrating lotion) and I’ll be damned but within 2 days the redness on his face had been reduced by maybe 75 to 80% or so.
Pretty amazing. Equally interesting, his facial color seems to have “smoothed out” for lack of a better phrase. The facial color, sans a whole bunch of redness was much more evenly spread out on his face as opposed to before where all the red blotches were uneven in color and in their location on his face.
He is a believer now and will probably be using this stuff on his face until he goes off to meet Jesus. Anyways, I consider that a hell of a success story for $20 bucks and using just a few drops morning and night.
I reached out to the seller letting her know it didn't work for my skin and I was going to return it. She responded right away with the full ingredient list because she thought I could potentially be allergic/sensitive to an ingredient or perhaps I was sensitive to the vitamin c strength. She even worked with me to get a full refund on the product and apologized the serum didn't work out for me!
If you have sensitive skin I highly recommend doing a patch test/slowly incorporate the serum into your routine. But if it doesn't work out for you, the seller has your best interest in mind and will be happy to help you!
I have been using this serum for almost two years now, and I have to say I have noticed a huge reduction of dark spots from old acne scars! I use it every night after my toner, rubbing it on with damp fingertips.
Due to my skin sensitivity, I don't use this product in the AM as direct sunlight seems to turn me bright red. My biggest complaint is the topper of the bottle, Ive been through 3-4 bottles, and the last 2 I have received do not close all the way, they close on an angle so you don't get a true closed seal which makes them leak. If you close it too tightly the top pops right off...please fix this so I can continue being a happy customer!!!!
I have been searching for a few cheaper alternatives to Mad Hippie Vitamin C, which I absolutely adore. TruSkin is about $10-12 cheaper, so I decided to give it a go. It's good, it's not quite as hydrating and smooth as I had hoped for, but for $19, I think its a VERY GOOD option. *I have combination skin, with dry all around and an oily t-zone. I tend to gravitate towards more moisturizing products.
It's better than some other Vitamin C serums I have tried that are WAY more expensive. I prefer this for the morning when I don't need quite as much moisture. I have finicky skin that can break out with new products and this product did not cause any breakouts or discoloration. All and all I think it's worth the money and great alternative for people with normal skin with little sun damage. Definitely worth trying.
It ruined my beauty case 🥺 The lid threads are not secure. I tried not to over tighten, because it's plastic against glass. I know better. But tonight I discovered half the bottle oxidized on the bottom of my case. I twisted the top back on and it literally popped off in front of me as I was cleaning the mess. Kinda startled me. My room is the same temp, no hot to cold or anything. The case is not moved or shaken all day. I pick it up, move it to my lap and back. There should be no reaction to pressure change either. I noticed the lid never screwed on completely straight, but threaded enough to seal properly for days before putting it in this case. When I picked it up tonight, from its glutinous puddle, the lid was completely undone. Be careful of where/how you store it.
EDITED TO ADD: Updated to 4 stars instead of 3 for great customer service, they have reached out to me to give me a refund and helped me to find a different product that might work better for me. Giving them a 2nd shot!
