Obagi-C Fx C-Clarifying Serum (Hydroquinone-Free Formula)

Obagi-C Fx C-Clarifying Serum (Hydroquinone-Free Formula) I love this product. Just a few drops are needed which goes on smooth, not sticky. It truly does diminish dark spots and provides a bright and fresh look to my skin.

Does not irritate my sensitive skin!

So far I like this serum. I was using a different one, but wanted to try a stronger serum. No reactions a month in. It is pricey, but I like it. If you get in your eyes, it does burn fyi.

Great Vitamin C Serum

The serum has brightened my skin and helped with discoloration and sun spots. It doesn't have a scent and does not leave a sticky residue.

Simply the best

This is the most effective Vitamin C formula I’ve used. I have post-acne hyperpigmentation and this serum has cleared 75% of it within about three weeks. I’m also glad it is hydroquinone-free.

Good vitamin C serum

Good vitamin C serum, but I didn't notice anything particularly different about it than any other Vitamin C serum. I also noticed that the color is darker, an amber tone, which I thought indicated a vitamin C serum that was getting old. Perhaps I'm incorrect on that, but an observation compared to other vitamin C serums that were clear.

It works!

A friend recommended this vitamin c serum to help lighten dark spots on my face. I’ve been using it am and pm for a few weeks now and I definitely notice a difference. My skin look lighter and brighter. I plan on keeping Obagi-C Serum as part of my daily skincare routine.

Daily ritual

I use it daily in the morning & have switched from SkinCeuticals over the years bc it’s a bit less & Obagi products seem to work better particularly with my Asian complexion. People always ask me what I use on my skin & are always shocked at my age. I started taking care of my skin in my early 20’s & I’m almost 70. I always say take care of your skin every AM & PM like it’s your religion. I believe a good Vit C product & good moisturizer is critical for no wrinkles. Stay out of direct sun. Works for me & I’ve been a customer of LovelySkin since @ early 1990’s.

RECOMMENDED BY A PLASTIC SURGEON'S OFFICE!

The first time I used this serum, I bought it at a plastic surgeon's office after a laser facial designed to eliminate fine lines, freckles and other dark spots ("Erbium"). This serum was recommended it to keep my skin smooth and spot-free. I keep using it every morning because it does keep my skin pale and gives it a bit of glow. Sort of pearly, if that makes sense. I've started wiping off any excess on a few dark sun spots on my chest and I swear they are fading.

Obagi vitamin C is the best

I love all the obagi vitamin C concentrations. I have used the 20% and 15%. This one is great after stopping the obagi RX Hydroquinone for skin discoloration but one stopping the obagi Hydroquinone, this only kept about 50% of my discoloration from coming back. I pair this with the RX Hydroquinone on days I give my face a break from the RX.

The best Vit C serum I've ever used!

This product is amazing! The results are excellent, and after a short time, I could see improvements in my facial skin's texture. Because my skin is very sensitive, I apply it every other day. It goes on smoothly, and a small amount of the serum is all that is needed. I highly recommend this product.

Clarifying Serum

The Obagi C FX C clarifying serum provides a wonderful moisturizing base before applying other products for the day. I've tried others vitamin C oils that just feel greasy and never penetrate the skin like Obaji does!
