Smoothing, plumping serum.
This brightening booster serum does what it says. I was hoping it may calm my rosacea, but I didn't notice a difference with that particularly.
I found it quite smoothing and plumping. I was able to use it this under my foundation.
I'll keep using it, as it makes my skin feel nice.
I am grateful for the chance to try out and review this product, I wasn't sure if it would work, so I was pleasantly surprised.
I will keep using this and see how much improvement I have, as I would love to have nicer skin, don't we all?? So I hope it works.
Great for brightening
A beautiful smooth product which was easy to apply and no sticky texture. I used it each morning and night and it was a really nice addition to my skincare routine.
I did see a difference in the brightness of my complexion and made it look and feel more fresh. It was able to be layered with my daily SPF, foundation and other products without any issues.
As a bonus this product and the packaging looked great on my vanity!
Overall, for the reasonable price, I would definitely use this product again and would also recommend to others. I did love it.
Great product!
I love the Swisse Vitamin C 10% Brightening Booster Serum. Swisse products never disappoint! I used this serum for a few weeks and it leaves my skin clear, hydrated, soft, smooth, nourished and glowy. This serum feels great on my skin and I have noticed it has improved some of my acne scars. I love that the serum is light and it absorbs into my skin fast and It didn’t make my skin oily. I also love that this serum is affordable- I highly recommend giving it a try, I believe you won’t be disappointed. I will definitely continue to use this product and see what will happen with long term use.
I didn't notice a difference
To be completely honest about the sqisse vitamin c brightening boosted serum, I did not notice much of a difference in my skin by using this product. I will say however, I like the packaging and the feel of the serum. I am not sure if using this product for a longer period of time would change my view but I didn't see any improvement in my skins condition after having used the product for a month. I really like the brand though but sadly couldn't recommend this product to my friends or family due to the lack of results. I will continue to use this until the bottle is empty to see if my skin looks brighter but so far I haven't seen any results to rave about.
Lovely serum
I love this serum!
I have been using morning and night after cleansing. It has a lovely, luxurious, thick feel to it and glides on my skin like a dream. It feels like a big drink of water upon application!
The best part is that this serum sits beautifully under my other skincare (moisturiser and SPF) and makeup, which is a must for a busy work life!
I love the gentle scent of this product and the ease of the quick pump dispenser too.
I have noticed an improvement in the brightness and moisture of my skin, and will definitely continue to use this serum!
Left my skin feeling fuller and brighter
This was my first time using a Vitamin C serum so I didn't really know what to expect (aside from what is written on the bottle).
I have a super simple skincare routine (not because I have clear skin, in fact quite the opposite). I used this AM after washing my face and before Ultra Violette sunscreen following a PM application of overnight Alpha H Liquid Gold and The Ordinary moisturiser.
The bottle itself is nice and pump worked perfectly with no issues or blockages. The serum is quite liquid so you only need one or two pumps to get enough to cover your face and neck. I took it all the way down my neck/chest to help my skin in these areas too.
Unfortunately, I found this serum hasn't helped much in terms of acne and breakouts, but I definitely have noticed a brighter and more bouncy quality to my skin - especially in my cheeks and forehead. I have quite combination skin and don't often find it with these qualities so think Swisse is partly to thank!
A nice gentle serum
A lovely product that makes the face feel soft and hydrated. I didn't necessarily see a physical difference in appearance but I did notice the texture of my skin improve, I can see myself using this product in my skincare routine during the colder months - it would be especially useful during Winter when the skin really dries out and looks dull, which is currently an ongoing issue for my poor face. This would be a good product for those with skin sensitivities - I've got sensitive skin and didn't have any kind of reaction which was an unexpected surprise.
Transformed my dull skin
BEAUTYcrew Staff Review: BC’s Issy R
Recently my skin has been going through a few changes. In particular it appears dull and I have a few darker spots hanging around. This Vitamin C serum has helped improve the appearance of my skin, by bringing it back to the healthy and hydrated skin I had before we started to move into the cooler months.
I have been using the product for at least 3 or so weeks, and intially after two weeks my skin started to improve. I noticed my skin become a lot more hydrated and clearer, and it finally has that glow it had throughout summer.
Having used this daily (and continue to do so), this is a gentle formula for applying as part of your morning routine. I try and keep my skincare regime simple, so I applied this after cleansing and before moisturising.
This is a great product for anyone with uneven skin tone, dull or darkk spots, as the vitamin E targets and corrects these concerns.
Swisse is an affordable skincare brand and one you can pick up locally from your chemist, therefore at $24.99 a bottle you can't go wrong!
I love how this serum is a push top rather than a dropper. It makes it a lot easier to dispense and more hygenic. I would apply 1 - 2 drops and it made it easier to measure how much product you needed to apply.
Hughly recommend and wouldn't mind seeing what other ranges are suitable for my skin type and concerns.
Not really suitable for mornings
This is a decent serum for the price. It’s something I would purchase again though. For some unknown reason, this serum did not agree with the moisturiser I use in the mornings (I’m not sure if it was the SPF 15 or another ingredient that it reacted with) or my primer/foundation. However it worked well with my evening moisturiser so I decided to only use it in the evenings.
It has a unique smell that I can’t put my finger on how to describe it but I am definitely not a big fan of the scent of this serum. It’s just odd. Skincare products that are meant to be fragrance free always smell the worst in my opinion.
I haven’t notice a huge difference in the appearance of my skin, if anything it looks slightly irritated. I tend not to use products with ingredients like citric acid for this reason. I really wish there were vitamin C skincare products made using strawberries rather than citruses.
To sum it up, I don’t particularly like this product. While I’m sure other have great results, I certainly did not.
Yet to prove itself
My experience with this product was a bit underwhelming. Although I was excited to try a product that seemed promising as it included active ingredients of both Vitamin C and Niacinamide, I didn’t really have the results from using this product that I desired. I didn’t feel like my skin absorbed the product well and I didn’t really like the texture of the serum. I have a few dark spots on my face but I don’t think it lightened them which is not completely unexpected after only a couple weeks of use. I didn’t see any results which would indicate that my complexion was brighter or my skin more hydrated or my pigmentation issues minimised. I prefer my usual vitamin C which costs slightly less than this product and feels better on application. I have seen positive results after using my other vitamin C product after using for over 2 months. I will continue trying this product to give it time to prove its effectiveness as I like the idea of it but unfortunately it has yet to prove itself to me.
glowy & fresher
I am quite pleased trialling this product. The packaging is straight forward, neat and easy to use. The serum feels thick but when applied, it is light on the skin. The serum absorbed quickly on my skin. After a week or so trialling this product, i have noticed an extra glow on my face and my skin looked fresher. This is my first time to try on a swisse skin care product and would definitely be looking at buying (to try) more of swisse products in the near future. Thanks for the experienced beauty crew!
Not life changing but ok for price
I am fairly happy with the serum as it feels good on the skin. I would recommend following it with a moisturiser as it can leave skin feeing a little tight. I have not noticed an immediate change or amazing results but because of the way it feels I am prepared to continue with the product. It does not smell strong like some other serums. I think my skin looks a little brighter but like I said, it has not been overnight life changing results. For the price, I would recommend to others but just be prepared that results will not happen immediately and you should preserve.
Swisse Vitamin C 10% Brightening Booster Serum
I used this product each morning and night and it was a nice addition to my skincare routine. It was easy to apply with no scent and a nice texture. I used it each day before sunscreen, moisturiser and make up and it definitely brightened my complexion. It never felt too thick or heavy. It was a nice addition to my skincare and I feel it contributed to the overall softness and brightness of my face. However, I don’t know if I would drastically miss it if I stopped using it but, for the reasonable price, I would use this product again and would recommend to others.
Stupendous Serum
I started using the Swisse Vitamin C Brightening Booster in conjunction with the Swisse Hyaluronic Serum about 3 weeks ago.
The Vitamin C serum was incorporated into my morning and night skincare routine. The serum didn’t have any unpleasant odour as some can do.
The results were noticeable after a week, I did have people comment on how fresh I was looking (I can assure you I wasn’t with a toddler and 6 week old baby) . The serums helped level up my skin routine and I will certainly be purchasing both products as part of my regular skincare buys as they are well worth the small price tag.
Pretty good vitamin c serum!
I have enjoyed using this product. The bottle is compact and easy to use and is tinted. It has lots of good ingredients to brighten. I use it every morning under moisturiser and sunscreen. The serum itself is silky and smooth. It feels really nice on the skin, not too oily. It makes my skin feel smoother and even the next day. I haven't seen too much brightening but i know vitamin c serums take a while to make big differences. Im always cautious trying new serums as i have acne prone skin, but this serum hasn't broken me out at all. I like this serum and will definitely keep using it, considering the low price!
Even skintone
Light on skin!
This product is light on skin and not too strong.
My skin can be quite sensitive to active ingredients but this one has been fine.
Complexion is looking brighter and more even.
Also affordable!
I do wish it came in a bigger size though as vitamin C usually takes a while for the results to show.
A lot of vitamin c products also have a strong metallic scent to it which this one didn’t seem to.
The spray cap is also a big plus as you don't have to worry about pumping it on your hands first.
I would recommend this to a friend.
A great vitamin c serum!
The product is way more liquid-y than I was expecting. I used it by pumping some into my hand and applying to my face that way. When I pumped onto my fingers, it quickly dripped away and disappeared, so I wasted too much product trying that way. It isn’t the consistency of water, but it is runny.
There is no fragrance which is great. This meant it didn’t smell amazing but it also wasn’t terrible like many vitamin c serums can be. It was reasonably clear with no colour to it.
I have been using the serum most mornings for the last couple of weeks. While it didn’t transform my skin into a radiant moonbeam, I do feel that I looked a bit brighter and cleaner from it. I am not sure if it had any effect on pigmentation though. I expect if I keep using it for longer I will see a more noticeable change.
I applied the serum after cleansing my face. Some days I would cleanse, exfoliate with BHA, apply vitamin c serum, then moisturiser. Then add sunscreen, primer and foundation. Other days I would skip the chemical exfoliation and cleanse, vitamin C, moisturise, SPF, prime, foundation. Or if I was just at home, I would stop the routine once the SPF was one. No matter what routine I was doing for the day, the product always fully absorbed into my skin quickly. I didn’t look shiny or greasy from it. There was no pilling when I added other products on top.
I have tried quite a few high end vitamin c serums and never repurchased any of them. I am considering getting a second bottle of this. It hasn’t revolutionised my skin but I think with longer term use there is potential for a more dramatic change. I have pigmentation on the side of my cheek and forehead that I would love to fade. As this is on the cheaper end of the price scale, I think it is a worthy investment to see what happens with long term use.
My skin is very sensitive and goes bright red from most products, especially if I use after an aha/bha. But I didn’t react to this at all. No stinging, no redness, no burning sensation. It was very gentle. I am happy with the ingredient list, there is nothing there that causes me any aggravation. The serum didn’t dry my skin out or cause any flaky bits. It also didn’t make my oily.
I would recommend this to others. It is a great price and more effective than other products that cost five times as much. It is especially great value if you can pick it up on special from Chemist Warehouse. I would suggest trying a bottle of this. It has made me very interested to see what other skincare products Swisse have. If they are a reasonable clean ingredient list with nothing that should aggravate sensitive skin, I will happily try more from the skincare line.
Overall, this is a great product and I am so pleased I tried it.
Great entry-level option
Are you looking to introduce a Vitamin C serum into your routine? This is a great option for those starting out, especially when it comes to value for money. I applied the serum in the morning after cleansing with micellar water. It has a slight scent but wasn’t unpleasant and is a thicker consistency than some other Vitamin C products I’ve tried. The pump applicator makes it easy to control the product and I love how it absorbed into my skin. It layered well with other products and sat nicely under makeup, however, I liked it even more on those make-up-free days as it gave a nice, hydrated glow. I have quite strong pigmentation and dark spots and didn’t notice a significant difference in brightness or fading so not a game-changer for me, but it’s definitely convinced me to consider trying other Swisse products in the future.
Pretty Impressed!
I am all for looking for products that are free from toxic ingredients, so when I was asked to try this product I accepted without any hesitation. With active botanical, antioxident and vitamins like 10% vitamin C and the amazing added ingredients like niacinamide, pomegranate and vitamin E i was hopeful that this would be a wholey grail and I could chuck away half of my skin care away which too would be such a good cost savings! Well.... it was pretty impressive. I have very sensitive acne prone skin so whenever i try new products (especially Vitamin C products) that would break me out in cystic acne...and to my surprise i have yet to have a breakout! This booster serum is is so hydrating and feels so nice on my skin providing me with nice moisturised soft skin! I do have some acne scarring which i am yet to see fade so I will definitely continue to use it and will put it on my stretch marks to see if it helps. There's not too much smell to it as it is fragrance free so i wasn't expecting to much maybe a hint of pomegranate. Texture is nice not an oily kind of feel, which i do not like any skincare with an oil texture and one thing i am and will always be behind is products that havent been tested on animals, so overall Swisse have done so well creating this product and i am very curious to try their other products.
Hydrating
I have been using the Swisse Vitamin C Brightening Booster Serum for past few weeks and I'm pleasantly surprised with the results. I have dry skin with some darker spots and I noticed that after using it my face appeared brighter and felt more hydrated. There is also a subtle scent to it which I find refreshing. The only downside I found with this serum is that my foundation applied patchy over the top of it.
I would recommend this product to those who have skin on the drier side and that have issues with dark spots.
