"Pros: - Comes boxed & safety sealed - Light scent - Absorbs fast - Not sticky - Doesn't sting like other vitamin C serums can - Can be used by sensitive skinned people Cons: - Comes in dropper bottle (which I do not like for these types of serum) - Watery, almost too watery."
"Now for the last part of my lengthy review I would like to share some tips that I have learned both from both my research and personal experience: 1) First of all, according to what I've read in many dissatisfied reviews, there is a misconception of what a face serum is used for."
"I don't know if this serum just doesn't work with oils or what, but I would suggest looking for another one if your moisturizer is oil based."

"I wash my face with a creamy low suds face wash, blot dry and then apply serum (let dry for a minute), face cream (SPF 50 in the AM and one without SPF at night), a good eye cream and I use a Clarsonic 2x weekly (I think too much use can be irritating to my rosacea)."

I know many serums give results after long term use (month - few months), and I have only been using this a short time, so I will just be rating this on my first impressions & the look and feel of my skin with my short term use... There isn't any tingle or sting like I have experienced with other Vitamin C serums, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a less acidic C so that would be on par, and it also didn't cause any redness that some people experience with more harsh types of C."
"What I found impressive was that in many of the lower ratings a representative from Oz Naturals would reply under comments, often encouraging any dissatisfied customers to please call and speak directly to the OZ esthetician for personal support and help with the product...

It will happen, everyone has different issues and needs and therefore experience different time periods before they see all the positive results that they are looking to receive."
"I also liked that it actually calmed the redness in my face, which is something I always worry about exacerbating when testing a new product... I don't know if this serum just doesn't work with oils or what, but I would suggest looking for another one if your moisturizer is oil based... Anyway, I see that some people are able to somehow enjoy this serum, so it's probably better for those with oily skin who don't use oil based moisturizers."

"Pros: - Comes boxed & safety sealed - Light scent - Absorbs fast - Not sticky - Doesn't sting like other vitamin C serums can - Can be used by sensitive skinned people Cons: - Comes in dropper bottle (which I do not like for these types of serum) - Watery, almost too watery... I know many serums give results after long term use (month - few months), and I have only been using this a short time, so I will just be rating this on my first impressions & the look and feel of my skin with my short term use... The bottle was a darker, amber brown bottle, which is helpful for vitamin c products (light & heat degrades it), but this positive was over shadowed by the fact that there was a dropper... On the other hand, you only need a couple drops to cover you whole face and neck so it's not too bad. ----------------- APPLICATION ----------------- When applying I use about a drop on each of my cheeks (including the nose), one on my forehead, and an extra one on the mouth/chin area... There isn't any tingle or sting like I have experienced with other Vitamin C serums, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a less acidic C so that would be on par, and it also didn't cause any redness that some people experience with more harsh types of C... In the spirit of full disclosure, while I did pay for this product & the review above is my actual opinion of it, I was given a discount coupon in exchange for making an honest, unbiased review, which I feel I did."
"I have reached my sixties, and although I have been told that "I really look pretty good for my age" I am like most women at this stage in that I have not escaped the inevitable fine lines and the onset of wrinkles... I had previously used the Skin Ceutical Vitamin C E Ferulic Acid in the mornings, but I have now switched to Oz Naturals, and in the evenings, after my derma rolling session I am also using OZ Naturals Vitamin C Serum... What I found impressive was that in many of the lower ratings a representative from Oz Naturals would reply under comments, often encouraging any dissatisfied customers to please call and speak directly to the OZ esthetician for personal support and help with the product... Now for the last part of my lengthy review I would like to share some tips that I have learned both from both my research and personal experience: 1) First of all, according to what I've read in many dissatisfied reviews, there is a misconception of what a face serum is used for... If you think about it, a long fingernail that breaks is not going to grow the full length back in a day, nor is you hair going to grow 2 inches in a few weeks, and I think it's unrealistic to believe that someone is going to lose 50 lbs in a month... There are going to be some better days and worse days in between, but after a month you may see some small improvement, but usually so small that it's only apparent to you... It will happen, everyone has different issues and needs and therefore experience different time periods before they see all the positive results that they are looking to receive."
"Oz Naturals changed their Vitamin C formula to exclude oils that are likely to clog pores, and added the powerful antioxidant astaxanthin... I also liked that it actually calmed the redness in my face, which is something I always worry about exacerbating when testing a new product... This time, I applied several moisturizing essences before the OZ Naturals Vitamin C serum, and put on way less of the serum than the first time... I don't know if this serum just doesn't work with oils or what, but I would suggest looking for another one if your moisturizer is oil based. I can't use anything other than pure oils unfortunately, so I couldn't make it work for me even though I tried different application methods three other times. Twice I managed to apply everything carefully enough so I would get minimal clumps, but when I woke up in the morning my face was a flaky mess (the flakes were the product, not my skin)... Anyway, I see that some people are able to somehow enjoy this serum, so it's probably better for those with oily skin who don't use oil based moisturizers."

"The main reason I take fish oil (Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega) is because I don't eat enough fish on a weekly basis, so there is a need for me to use a supplement... I wish I could spend $$$ with my derma doctor on some advanced skin treatments for those little lines around my eye area and get a V-beam treatment for my rosacea but that is not happening right now. I wash my face with a creamy low suds face wash, blot dry and then apply serum (let dry for a minute), face cream (SPF 50 in the AM and one without SPF at night), a good eye cream and I use a Clarsonic 2x weekly (I think too much use can be irritating to my rosacea)...

I started with the Oz Naturals product first because it features 20% Vitamin C (very potent) + Amino Complex + Hyaluronic Acid, using it twice daily on my face, neck and decolletage... It also did a good job in helping reduce redness from my rosacea (which I am cursed with) and brightened up and evened out my skin. I decided that I'd do additional research and try a different brand that also had very good reviews which was the Lilian Frache brand."
"I have been using this product for several weeks and, just like the title of this review says, my skin has never looked better! I had tried almost every one of the creams, serums, lotions, etc... I can't stop raving about how well this Vitamin C Serum actually works... I religiously put this serum on every day after my shower and regardless of whether I put on makeup. This serum takes away all of the redness and blotchiness in my skin and for the first time..... This serum is actually even clearing up the small amount of acne flare-ups that I would have from time to time and preventing others from starting... Even though the mistake with entirely Amazon's fault, OZ Naturals took it upon themselves to make me as a customer happy by stepping in to replace the product."
"The customer service of OZ Naturals seems courteous that I received a thank-you email from them upon my order, which explained in detail how to use the product... However, I after some uses, I found that the suggestion was NOT for everyone - people with specific personal skincare routine will have to figure out themselves where in the course of the routine this product is to be incorporated... You don't need to put it a lot but just make a thin sheet of this serum over the face and neck or wherever you would like... I have my personal skincare routine for 15 years that consists of: (1) Booster 1 (liquid) - special "booster" skincare product that is best absorbed onto the clean skin before the toner (2) Toner (liquid) - to condition and prepare the skin for the next product (3) Booster 2 (semi-liquid) - another booster skincare that is a little thicker in consistency so that it is best applied after the toner has been applied to tighten the skin pore to prevent the moisturizer from clogging... After 2 weeks, I had this discomfort and no visible benefit on my skin despite that the review says that I should see some improvement in the skin after the first application... Since the serum is applied in the very first step of the skincare routine, it gets absorbed completely before the toner tightens the pore and seal the surface... The skin will return normal in 24 hours but not in 12 hours - so if you had a Derma Roller treatment at night and put this product to burn your face, you will have to go to work with red-angry-puffy face in the morning."
