5/5
I love BAO products! I was a little reluctant because of the price, but I don't regret it. I noticed the difference the next day. The color of my skin became even, my skin became brighter and I felt moisturized. You don't have to put on makeup because the serum makes your skin shiny. I think it's worth it and honestly, it only takes a few drops at a time.

Gives a smooth finish without sticking to the skin. Refreshing fragrance, comfortable and clean. Brightens skin color and conditions complexion. I recommend this product.

5/5
Vitamin C is one of my favorite ingredients, but most of the products I've tried have a very distinctive smell. When I tried this serum, it was fine for me. After using this product, I noticed a lot of brightness. It was not sticky and absorbed well to the skin. Also, it goes well with other skin care products, and it feels good to use under makeup.

I like the Endymion’s Luminous C Serum. It really helps brighten my skin and gives a healthy glow after a few uses. The texture is nice but takes a bit of time to absorb completely.

Easy to keep using

I started using this at night because my skin was looking a bit dull. The texture is lighter than I expected and it sinks in pretty quickly, so it does not feel sticky under moisturizer. After about two weeks, my skin looks a little brighter in the morning and feels smoother around my cheeks. I also like that it did not sting the way some vitamin C products have for me before.

I can’t live without it! Everytime I switched to other VC product, my skin feels weird…

Great for oily skin

Fresh batch date, refreshing and non-irritating (as long as skin has no open cuts), great for oily skin.

Actually faded my sun spots

After about two months, it actually works on spots - a patch of sun spots on my face has clearly faded. So happy, will keep repurchasing.

Great brightening effect

Works really well - I've used three bottles. The brightening is great: my face used to be yellower than my neck, and now they're the same tone. Nice texture and gentle.

No scent, comfortable to use

Almost no scent. I use about 7-8 dropperfuls and had zero adverse reactions - at one point I even thought I'd gotten a fake. It's not oily or sticky and feels quite comfortable.
