I have been on a huge Vitamin C craze, as of lately.It's so good for you and beneficial to our skin.Valentia's Skin Care has created one amazing serum using 20% Vitamin C.Powerful and rich, this serum is essential in a day-to-day skin routine.I use just a little bit, since it does go a long way and I have noticed quite a difference in my overall skin tone and texture.It's rather shocking how powerful a serum can be when you notice a change in your face!I have been using this product for a total of a week now, completely changed up my skin routine to just using this and a cleanser.I apply a few drops (1-2) on my cleaned face in the morning and at night, before bed.I can tell you that before using this product my face felt and looked tired, dark circles and fine linesbut most importantly, large pores.I have suffered with large pores for quite a while.So much that I tired every serum, cream, oil, concealer to rid me or at the very least, mask the appearance of them.I have been using this serum for that single week and my pores have changed in size completely.Tightened up and became a lot smaller than they used to be.I am impressed, far beyond impressed.Here are some key points and my personal thoughts as I used this product for that week:-The packaging is beautiful. So beautiful that I keep the box along with the bottle because the thought of tossing such an elegant box pains me.-Upon opening the bottle, you are sweetly greeted by a citrus scent from the serum. Reminded me of oranges or grapefruits. Might be because of the Vitamin C or perhaps it's because Grapefruit Oil was also used in the making of this serum. It truly plays with the senses, so not only are you doing good by giving your skin the best treatment but you're also experiencing an aromatherapy session that helps to relax and unwind you. Of course, as the product absorbs into your pores, the scent starts to fade. So you will not be smelling like citrus throughout the day, but the scent is a pleasant little surprise.-The tinted bottle helps to keep your serum safe from decomposition. The glass dropper is also a nice addition because nothing thrills me more than being able to extract my serums easily rather than fumbling around and making a mess.-Valentia Even Glow Serum gives you a nice, refreshed glow. Not like a disco ball shimmer but a nicely awake look, giving your makeup (if apply under makeup!) a pleasant finish rather than a chalky, dry, flaky look.-I never used this product before now and I was rather scared of what it would do. I thought that this was a glowing serum, which meant I thought it would make me look oily or greasy but I was happily mistaken. It just brings life back into tired, lifeless skin.-My skin has never felt more smooth, I have even noticed some of my fine lines reduce in appearance as well. Not completely gone but noticeably fading.-My skin is naturally dry, I have skipped a few days during the trail period just to see if anything happened and I seen the skin become more dry and cracking. That proves that this serum really holds true to their word. It really helps soften your skin from the horrible elements and worse.I am just overall really thrilled to have gotten the opportunity to test this product out.I am impressed now, but imagine prolonged usage?I can only imagine!I shall end on this note:when I finish this bottle, I will happily purchase another one!5/5-The following rating comes from:1 star- Packaging. (Is the item packaged well?)1 star- Quality & Materials. (Is the item made well?)1 star- Functions & Usability. (Does the item work well?)1 star- Construction & Design. (Does the item look good?)1 star- Quality Strength & Weight. (Does the item feel good?)-How I review:Based on those 5 mentions above, I take everything into consideration before posting a final review.Also, I use mere common sense when it comes to rating. Is the product worth this amount of stars? Is it not? What would I improve?Is the negative I dislike, if any at all, something that is an error in construction & design or is it something the company couldn't possibly control?And, if all else fails, can I do something to alternate or change the ability of this negative?All this and more is considered before I post.I do a lot of shopping on Amazon, so I decided to take the liberty to post reviews on items I think deserve it.Because I want people who are genuinely interested to know more about the product before they commit.These are my own opinions, I am doing this review merely for the sake of reviewing and expressing my freedom to review.Thank you!
