Smooth application.. but too soon
The serum is smooth and applies easily. It seems to do well under make up. Its thicker so I need more than I anticipated to cover my face and neck. It is too soon too tell the results. I do not detect a smell as some vitamin C serum have, which I hate.

Nice matte moisturizing feeling
I felt like I went through the bottle a little too quickly for the price but I do like the way it made my skin feel and the texture of the product. A lot of vitamin C&E formulas are an oil consistency which can make my skin look glossy but this one doesn't.

Nice and creamy
I gave this four stars because I really enjoy my vitamin C oil instead. I do use this cream on my neck and decollate.

After reading the praises of the Skinmedica brand, I decided to try this Vitamin C after running out of my old brand. I like the texture, as well as the ingredients, but it might be a bit harsh for my sensitive skin. It tingles upon application, and initally broke me out. I kept with it, using it twice a week. I also layered it with my lotion. So far, so good. Haven't noticed any results but still in the first few weeks of using it.

More beneficial than just moisturizer for day
I think this is a great option for beginners who want to level up from just wearing a basic moisturizer in the daytime. It's especially suited for those that don't have a separate vitamin c serum but want to start incorporating it slowly into their daytime skincare regimen. It has a serum consistency which works well with sunscreen, etc. applied on top. It's very light. My only con is the price for the amount of vitamin c included in this. If you want to start building tolerance to Vit. C slowly or if this is the level you want, I recommend this over just basic moisturizer for day.

I love the silky consistency which makes for easy application vs the liquid vitamin c serums I’ve used in the past. I haven’t noticed dramatic results, but I was using vitamin c before switching to this. I like it and it applies well with other products in this brand that I use.

C and E Complex
A game changer for my face. Soothing and nourishing. Using 6 weeks and improvements in softness and brighter skin.

I like this cream because it is not as harsh as many of the Vit. C serums. It does a nice job of some retexturing & still be moisturizing. I would recommend it to someone with sensitive skin!

Vitamin C & E
Been using for about 6 weeks along with even and correct brightening treatment, and even and correct treatment pads. I started using following 2 Ipl treatments for brown spots due to sun etc. I primarily use this in the morning as a treatment and moisturizer for my face and neck. Given enough time to dry,I can apply a tinted sunscreen and a little concealer and my skin looks smooth and clear. I am 68 and spent a youth as a sun lover, so my skin is far from perfect. However it does feel supple and has a nice glow. I have had no issues with the product and will probably purchase a second time.

Texture is strange
Not a bad cream but the texture is a bit off putting as it is grainy on the skin

it has a very silky feeling but it is also hard to determine where and how much coverage was applied because of this.

This product goes on so smoothly and does a good job of evening out your skin tone.

This product feels amazing! Goes on like silk and soaks in nicely. Wears well under makeup. I haven't used it long enough to see a huge difference but so far I love it!!

Excellent quality, but still on the fence
I adore everything I’ve tried from SkinMedica, but this is the one product that is not instant love for me. It is a very slippery silicone-based vitamin C, and I can’t tell if it is really absorbing into my skin. I usually use a liquid L-Asorbic vitamin C, say serums like SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic. The SkinMedica is much different. The pump dispenser is amazing, very hygienic. Much easier to use than liquid dropper vitamin C. However, it just glides over my face - to the point that I’m not sure that the actual vitamin C is being absorbed by my skin. That said, one time after using this, I did have a bit of a reaction to it. Nothing bad, just flushing. So, I do think the actual vitamin C is in true contact with my skin. But, there is one more but: because of the high silicon content in this, I have had some pilling beneath other products. I usually apply vitamin C as my first or second layer of skin care, but while this silicon-heavy format may feel light, it could be prone to balling up. I want to love this serum! Maybe I just need more time with it.

Nice alternative to Skinceuticals
I purchased the SkinMedica Vitamin C+E serum since it is less expensive than the Skinceuticals CE Ferulic. I like it better because it comes in a pump dispenser so less air is allowed into the bottle causing oxidation and it is formulated without water so it makes it more stable. I'm not sure how effective it is compared to the Skinceuticals so time will tell. I like the silicone-like texture instead of a watery serum; it is odorless, not grainy and not sticky.

I liked a different brand better
I was using a different serum before this and wanted to try to see which I liked better. This one is nice, it works well, but it doesn't last as long as the other. It runs out quicker, and it feels like it sits on my skin more rather than sinking in. I'll switch back to other after I run out.
