My fine lines have drastically improved after using it every day for almost two weeks and my skin is incredibly soft and supple. I love it so much I ordered the vitamin c under eye serum.

My skin tends to react well, and get the most benefit from, Vitamin C based formulas. I hadn't tried this one before, and I have to admit the scent put me off at first as I was expecting citrus.Everyone interprets smells differently; I'm hyper-sensitive to scents and have trouble with manufactured smells. What I got was what you might smell in a lemon/orange candle - the kind you use to keep mosquitos away. It wasn't horrific, but it wasn't something I'd volunteer stick my nose in. I wasn't surprised to see "Citronell" in the ingredients.I found the serum - which was more viscous, like a cream - to feel wonderful. It felt great on my skin, absorbed quickly with minimal stickiness (my least favorite thing about any skincare ritual), and felt my skin tightening almost immediately. I love that you put it on, put on spf, and you're set. And did I say it felt great?What I don't like: "cruelty free" with no accredited program emblems. "Recyclable" bottle but no emblem supporting that for U.S. or other Non-UK location. And the approaching Mt Everest, department/boutique level pricing, although I get that everything in the UK is pricey.Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Coco-Caprylate, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Propanediol, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Candelilla/Jojoba/Rice Bran Polyglyceryl-3 Esters, Glyceryl Stearate, Borage Officinalis (Borage) Seed Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetyl Alcohol, Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oil, Smithsonite Extract, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Boerhavia Diffusa Root Extract, Squalane (Olive), Rubus Fruticosus (Blackberry) Leaf Extract, Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Fruit Oil, Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Seed Oil, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Red) Peel Oil, Cananga Odorata (Ylang Ylang) Flower Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange Sweet) Peel Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Oil, Litsea Cubeba (May Chang) Fruit Oil, Xanthan Gum, Cellulose Gum, Cetearyl Alcohol, Maltodextrin, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Benzyl Alcohol, Dehydroacetic Acid, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Salicylate, Citral, Citronellol, Farnesol, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool.
