Trilogy Vitamin C Booster Treatment 15 ml

I am a big fan of anything that contains Vitamin C as my skin needs that brightening boost. I really like Trilogy skincare and decided to purchase this new treatment which is a booster serum. The product comes in a small vial, only 12.5ml, but is quite concentrated so a little goes a long. I was drawn to the unique packaging with "fresh activation" that keeps the Vitamin C dose fresh until you open it. The process is you pop the cap, shake the product well and use the dropper enclosed to dispense the serum. The serum can apparently last for about 6 months but during this time the Vitamin C becomes ineffective, therefore it's recommended you use it everyday for 2 weeks. I have been using 2-3 drops of the serum for just over 2 weeks and am very pleased with how ... MoreI am a big fan of anything that contains Vitamin C as my skin needs that brightening boost.

I have been using 2-3 drops of the serum for just over 2 weeks and am very pleased with how radiant my skin is looking and it's more hydrated. The texture is lightweight, but slightly sticky at first. I would like to continue using this product for several weeks at least to see if my pigmentation improves. My only criticism is that it's a little pricey per vial, especially if you want to use it long-term.

Only vitC serum so far (and have tried many!) that is cosmetically elegant. Means, feels good on the skin and does not ball up , does not sting and does not irritate my skin. So what it does do? \n\nIt comes in glass vials of 12.5mL (which is great, as after activating the serum, make sure you use it daily within first couple of weeks, before vitC becomes ...bye bye). After activating (popping powder of vitC into a liquid base, mixing in and using within 2 weeks to be freshest....vitC as water soluble in form of l-asc.acid degrades in water base with time) the serum it is light yellowish, clear and very runny. I drip couple of drops on the face directly and rub in immediately all over (eyes, lips too, as the formula is gentle). It contains 6% vitC concentration. ... MoreOnly vitC serum so far (and have tried many!) that is cosmetically elegant.

Did not have any "brightening" effect, as 2 weeks are not enough to judge product as being able to do that. Will continue using another vial and see where it all goes. Love the formula as it is comfortable and it seems also hydrating. Contains sodium hyaluronate. \n\nIngredients\nAqua (Water), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Ascorbic Acid, Bellis Perennis (Daisy) Flower Extract, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil, Rosa Canina Seed Oil, Sodium Hyaluronate, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, Parfum, Dehydroacetic Acid**, Benzyl Alcohol**, Hydroxycitronellal*, Citronellol*, Limonene*\n*Components of Natural Essential Oils\n**Preserved with Dehydroacetic Acid (and) Benzyl Alcohol\n\n

Trilogy sent me a generous sample of this product and I’ve now been using it for about 3 weeks both morning (on its own under makeup) and evening (before applying rosehip oil) and I absolutely love it. It’s really unusual, with the vitamin C powder kept separately until you press the lid and activate it. From there on, you just squeeze the dropper bottle and a few drops is all you need to get the skin glowing and dewy. I tend to prefer a very simple routine with not many products - I’m not one for multiple steps, but I actually just use this instead of a moisturiser in the morning - I just wash with water and then apply - after that, I’m good to go or apply makeup if I’m going to work or out. My skin has never looked better--and it really has increased the glow. I’m ... MoreTrilogy sent me a generous sample of this product and I’ve now been using it for about 3 weeks both morning (on its own under makeup) and evening (before applying rosehip oil) and I absolutely love it.

My skin has never looked better--and it really has increased the glow. I’m not even using a blush now. Trilogy makes such beautiful products, and this one is chock full of good ingredients like aloe, daisy extract, mandarin oil, rosehip oil, and of course highly concentrated (6%) vitamin C, and nothing nasty. The scent is fresh citrus and is quite subtle. The little stopper bottle is so handy and delivers just the right amount. I’ve still got a small amount left, but will definitely be repurchasing.

I received a rather generous sample of this from Trilogy a while back. I was so excited Trilogy had come out with a Vitamin C serum as I'm a regular user of the Trilogy range and a serum was all I was missing to complete my skin care routine.\nVitamin C is a perfect addition to my skin care as it is brightening and I have pigmentation and sensitive skin. Anything that can give more radiance and youth to my skin is always a bonus .\nThe serum comes in a little glass container with a dropper applicator. Before use you have to "pop" the vitamin c powder from the lid(by pressing the button on the lid down) so it mixes with the serum liquid in the container. I absolutely love this as it keeps the vitamin c powder fresh as can be before use. Such an innovative and fun ... MoreI received a rather generous sample of this from Trilogy a while back.

It absorbs incredibly fast and is mildly scented. A fruity,floral mix.\nMy skin did feel a little tacky after application which I wasn't a huge fan of but I proceeded to use this for the recommended time of 2 weeks regardless(had to buy a full size as my sample was for about 8 day supply).\nMy skin was more glowy from use of this but I personally wasn't a fan of the feel of it. A nice,gentle skin brightener made from all natural ingredients. Does all it claims and would suit sensitive skin well as I had no issues with irritation from it.\n

I was lucky to receive a deluxe sample of this Vitamin C treatment to try and it comes in a unique bottle where you are required to press down the lid to click open the Vitamin C powder into the serum part of the treatment. I do like that the Vitamin C powder is kept stable this way and you don't break the seal until you are ready to mix the powder with the serum and use the contents in the vial. The product has a dropper to dispense the right amount of product. The texture of the serum is lightweight, non-greasy but does feel a bit tacky initially when you apply it to your face. I use about 3 drops of this product for my whole face and neck, under my usual moisturiser. You are supposed to use each vial twice a day for 2 weeks for best results and to keep the ... MoreI was lucky to receive a deluxe sample of this Vitamin C treatment to try and it comes in a unique bottle where you are required to press down the lid to click open the Vitamin C powder into the serum part of the treatment.

I use about 3 drops of this product for my whole face and neck, under my usual moisturiser. You are supposed to use each vial twice a day for 2 weeks for best results and to keep the product stable and active. So far my skin feels softer and smoother, with a bit more of a dewy glow. The only thing I dislike is the strong floral fragrance which I find can be a bit irritating for my skin. I love the original Trilogy Rosehip Oil which I have used for years and have had great results with that product, so I'm unsure I will purchase this treatment. I think this product would suit anyone who doesn't have super sensitive skin and wants a skin brightening treatment.

Brightening and gentle

I have been using Trilogy's Vitamin C Booster Treatment for a few weeks now. I know most products can take longer to show results, but the small size of the product means it can only be used for a few weeks. Maybe you can stretch it out to a month or so if you don't use it every day, and it depends on how many drops you use. I used this almost every morning after using a toner to remove any excess oil from my face (I don't use a cleanser in the morning to prevent drying out and irritating my skin). I then apply moisturiser afterwards. I think you could also apply this mixed in with your moisturiser (so more like a traditional booster), as it is a light oil consistency. It has a citrus scent but is very faint and is not offensive. I quite like it. It applies very ... MoreI have been using Trilogy's Vitamin C Booster Treatment for a few weeks now.

It has a citrus scent but is very faint and is not offensive. I quite like it. It applies very smoothly, and is not gritty or too oily. I applied it only to one side of my face so that I could compare the results. After about a week, I noticed this one side to be slightly brighter, and my skin tone to be smoothed out. I would definitely say I saw a positive effect on my skin. My only note is to apply sunscreen if you apply this in the mornings and then go outside. Vitamin C makes your skin more sensitive to the sun. I would also avoid acne-prone areas (for me it's around my nose and mouth), as the booster contains some oils and this may clog your pores. I applied this only to my forehead and cheeks. I would recommend this - it gave me great results. Just wish it came in a larger size, but I understand why it is a small size due to the fresh activation.

Did not cause problems but did not help either. Only 1 month shelf life!

I tried the small sample size (5mL) product. Note that the sample sized product has a shelf life of only 1 month after opening - I am assuming the large version is the same. It is very small and feels almost like water - very liquid and dries on the skin very fast. I could not cover my whole face with the ~5 drops that the package recommends, so ended up using more for each application and ran out within 2 weeks. In that time, I did not notice any difference to my skin. I was specifically hoping that wearing this under sunscreen will reduce the appearance of blackheads, but I did not see this type of effect. Maybe it takes longer for the product to make a visible difference. It also did not cause any problems like irritation or breakouts on my sensitive skin.

It does sting a bit if you apply it to an already irritated area, but otherwise ok, There is a slight scent to it - not sure if fragrance - but it did not cause any problems for me.

Effective skin whitening. It’s good to mix this with toner.

I got this to mix this with my homemade rosemary toner (and loquat leaves extract toner). I think you can also mix this into your body lotion or facial cream to prevent dry skin. Vitamin C booster is good for your skin to promote rejuvenate and whitening but it sometimes dry up your skin and become cause of itchiness, so I recommend you to use with something which moisturize your skin or mix into toner. Vitamin C also prevents your homemade toner or cream from oxidation. I try to take vitamin C supplements daily (2000-3000mg) and use vitamin C cream or booster like this occasionally. I think this Really works to keep healthy skin and protect skin from strong sun light especially during summer time ♡^ - ^♡

Works well but expensive

My skin was absolutely stunning after using this and much of the skin issues I had resolved almost overnight, but it was a bit much for my sensitive and acne prone skin. If you're sensitive/acne prone like me, I would mix this in with a moisturizer or something else rather than apply directly to the skin. I would absolutely use this before a big day like a wedding or something where I have to take photos. The downside is that it costs $44 for a serum that lasts only 2 weeks. I can't afford to spend $88/month on Vitamin C so if you're like me, I would just use this when you absolutely need to look stunning. I was only able to use this a few times anyways before my skin started protesting a bit so it's just not worth it for me unless I'm sharing it with someone else. ... MoreMy skin was absolutely stunning after using this and much of the skin issues I had resolved almost overnight, but it was a bit much for my sensitive and acne prone skin.

I had people complimenting my skin all week and asking about my skincare routine so I definitely recommend overall.

with "fresh activation" that keeps the Vitamin C dose fresh until you open it

I always like Vitamin C serum that comes in a fresh-activation packaging because Vitamin C is very unstable (especially when it's exposed to air/light/water), so it's best to pick a formula that comes with this packaging. I apply the vitamin C serum to clean, dry skin twice a day — in the morning and at night —and follow with a face moisturizer to seal in the serum and further hydrate skin. Vitamin C is a skin-care ingredient that can brighten skin, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and reduce the appearance of discoloration and dark spots. The serum’s texture is very watery, light, but dries quickly, and very comfortable. The scent is fresh citrus and is quite subtle. Once activated, this kind of serum usually last for about 6 months but during this time the ... MoreI always like Vitamin C serum that comes in a fresh-activation packaging because Vitamin C is very unstable (especially when it's exposed to air/light/water), so it's best to pick a formula that comes with this packaging.
