   You can get over the smell
   Probably one of the best Vitamin C serum out there. Sure, there’s a strong smell but it goes away after a few minutes. I’ve read one review where it supposedly made someone sick and that’s just not scientifically possible. Unlike other VC serums I’ve used, this one seems to lock in moisture. While it does have a slightly oily texture to it, it’s nothing to worry about especially if you apply (which you should) moisturizer after. It definitely leaves a nice glow and it’s part of my morning routine prior to apply moisturizer and SPF.

   Good stuff with a good price!
   This stuff is so good! It has a slightly woetd smell but my dermatologist said that if your vitamin c serum doesn’t smell like bologna, it isn’t good vitamin c. The smell goes away pretty fast after applying. I just I’ll my breath for a for seconds while I put it on and then it’s gone.My skin looks so healthy and glowing since k started. I am shocked with such good results at su h a good price. You HAVE to keep it refrigerated after opening though!!

   Not bad. Yes stinky.
   I’ve only used it once.That being said, it burns a tiny bit on a raw spot I have on my face and my face turned bright red! Otherwise it’s OK. My redness faded quickly. It does smell like tuna. However the scent quickly dissipates. Very quickly. Especially if you put something over it, which you should. I dont like how it “dries” very sticky. Even after 5 mins my hand was still sticky. I applied snail mucin on top (as shown in my video) and it definitely lessened the sticky. Now it’s soaked in a few hours, it feels nice.I notice a lot of reviews talk about the bottle only being half filled. It says in the little leaflet that is on purpose because of the ingredients used. When you open it there is a pressure release hiss. Like a soda bottle (as shown in my video) That is why there is lots of space in the bottle. If they filled it to the top that thing would burst from the pressure. And definitely spurt everywhere upon opening. I’m happy they didn’t fill all the way up. I feel like this is going to be a good addition to my Cosrx family of product!

   Love it
   I waited until I finished a bottle before reviewing, I really love this product. It’s definitely a heavier serum but soaks into the skin nicely. Vitamin c serum helps to keep my skin clear and it helps with texture a lot, too, and this serum helps a lot with those things. There is definitely a strong smell but once it’s applied the smell goes away quickly so I don’t think it’s a negative thing necessarily. I like that this serum has a higher concentration than a lot of other ones by like 10% so it’s hard to beat as far as how much actual vitamin c is in it. Highly recommend!

   Did this make me sick?
   After showering on a Friday evening, I applied the serum to my face. The smell was absolutely disgusting, but I was prepared for that having read the reviews. I had no negative skin reactions. A couple of hours later I started to get a headache. I took some ibuprofen, put the heating pad on my head, and went to sleep. I woke up at 3am with a terrible headache and I felt nauseous. I want to note that I get frequent migraines and that this was not a migraine headache. It was a painful tightness all around the top of my head. Also, I realized that the heat from the heating pad was reactivating the smell of the serum on my face, which was really gross. When I finally tried to get up and move around at 7am it was awful. I felt like I had the stomach flu. Sweating, shaking, nauseous. And then I threw up. I really did think I was sick and didn’t even consider the serum until a few hours later. I talked to my sister and mentioned my thoughts about the serum. She suggested that I take a long hot shower to try and get it all off of me and to change my bedding. So I did, and by the end of Saturday I was feeling not 100% but so much better. I haven’t seen any other reviews that mention this type of reaction. I tried googling it too and found nothing, so obviously this could be some kind of weird coincidence that I got sick for a short time while trying to use this product. Either way, I’m too scared to try it again. The smell alone might make me sick anyway. Good luck!

   Another update from the updated post – Updated Post from Original Post of “Smells AWFUL”
   ANOTHER UPDATED POST: bought my second bottle. Still smells awful, but I was excited given that the first bottle helped my skin. The first time, the box did not have any ingredients, and I could not find the information online. I specifically did not want to use product with tocopherol. Well, this time, the box did have ingredients, and I am delighted to see that the vitamin e is sourced tocotrinels, but my excitement was short lived as I saw tocopherol was on the list as well (see photo). I will still use this since I opened the bottle, but I won’t be buying again. From four stars to three.UPDATED POST: This still smells awful, but I must be getting used to the smell, or ignoring the smell because the product has made my skin smoother and more radiant. I just finished my first bottle and contemplating if I want to buy another. Bumping this product from two stars to four stars.ORIGINAL POST: This is the worst smelling vitamin C serum ever. I dont want one that is strong in fragrance, but this literally smells like gas I feel like I am getting drunk while smelling the scent when I use it on my face. This is awful awful awful. I can’t get past the smell to see the results. The smell does not disappear, despite what other reviewers claim. I can still smell the serum an hour after initial use.

   I’ve used various expensive vitamin c products for a few years but this is the first one that made me do a double take after I caught a glimpse of my reflection.Keep in the fridge as recommended.Yes, there is a small odour but it fades over time.My skin is slightly sensitive and the first application burned but it got better in a few days.

   Rapporto qualità-quantitá-prezzo ottimo.Ha una concentrazione di vitamina c tra le più alte e fa il suo dovere, si stende bene e ed ha il tipico colorito aranciato.
