Make the right choices for your skin
Say goodbye to unnecessary get visible results!
Geek and Gorgeous' Vitamin C C-Glow serum is primarily intended for people who want to prevent and correct signs of skin aging, such as wrinkles, dull complexion, and lack of firmness. This product also targets pigmentation spots and oxidative stress, thanks to a formula focused on radiance and skin protection. My expert opinion is that the brand offers a minimalist solution that focuses on effectiveness without any unnecessary additives, which limits the risk of intolerance and maximizes skin tolerance.
Formula Analysis: Key Assets
Three major active ingredients stand out in this serum. First, the pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid) at 15%, known for its antioxidant properties, stimulates collagen synthesis and reduces pigmentation spots. Next, the’ferulic acid enhances the stability of vitamin C and boosts its antioxidant action, protecting the skin from environmental aggressors. Finally, the vitamin E (tocopherol) completes this trio by providing lipid protection and soothing the skin. The combination of these active ingredients, supported by a light water-based formula, makes the product highly effective while remaining suitable for sensitive skin.
Tips and Application Ritual
I recommend applying C-Glow serum in the morning, on clean, dry skin, before moisturizer and sunscreen. It is compatible with most moisturizing and soothing skincare products, but it is best to avoid combining it with powerful exfoliating active ingredients (AHAs, BHAs, retinoids) to limit the risk of irritation. Daily use, while keeping it stored in a cool place, optimizes the stability of vitamin C.
My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion
The main advantage of this Geek and Gorgeous serum lies in the synergy of its antioxidants, its light texture, and its fragrance-free formula, which makes it suitable for sensitive skin. One slight drawback: pure vitamin C is unstable and can oxidize quickly, hence the importance of careful storage. In conclusion, this is an excellent choice for those looking for an effective, minimalist, and well-tolerated skincare product.

magnificent
For years I've been buying Skin Ceuticals ferulic acid serum, very good but a bit greasy for me and above all very expensive, not to mention that sometimes it was oxidized because the color was dark brown and it made foam (but I didn't know not to use it that way).
Since I discovered this product 10 times cheaper and more pleasant to use, I am delighted. .
I keep it in the fridge

c_glow de geek & gorgeous
a serum with 15 vitamin C ,+ferulic acid and a little vitamin E.
they melt it at the last minute so it's transparent and can be kept in the fridge for several months at a very reasonable price.
I've been using it for 3 years, it does the job well.

I love this serum. My sensitive skin tolerates it very well. For better storage, I use the mini bottle and keep the large one in the fridge. I manage to finish the bottle before the serum oxidizes, so it's great!

I've been using it for two weeks now, so I don't know what to make of it yet, but I'm going to continue, even if I'm having a bit of trouble because it's too runny.

Excellent pure vitamin C serum
One of the best pure vitamin C serums for oily skin because it's aqueous, not anhydrous. In addition to its freshness, since it's made the week it's ordered, it's easy to store in the fridge, making it particularly long-lasting.

Very effective vitamin c serum. A better complexion obtained very quickly. Despite my sensitive skin, I had no reaction.

I highly recommend it.

Excellent serum but spoiled
I love this serum, which is made from pure vitamin C. My skin loves it. My skin loves it but as it's sensitive, I can't use it every day so I never manage to use the whole bottle before it oxidizes. I've bought it 3-4 times and each time half of it goes into the garbage can... It's not expensive but I don't like to waste it so I don't buy it again.

Disappointed
After seeing this serum all over the place, I bought it. The price is really affordable and the texture pleasant, but on the other hand I didn't like the effect on my skin (a bit greasy), and I didn't see any results on radiance.

A must!
I've been using it in combination with glycolic acid for several months now.
It was a little irritating at first, but my skin has tolerated it very well ever since.
I use tretinoine at night and C-glow in the morning.
I also use it on the backs of my hands and have noticed a slight reduction in stains.
I think you have to be very patient and regular to get results.
I don't believe in marketing promises of immediate results with any product.
I'm also delighted with the price compared to a competing brand with the same active ingredients.
However, I sometimes use the 23% TO hanger because it's easier to find.
I have to say that even when ordering them in pairs, and using the mini bottle plus the fridge, as recommended, I never noticed any oxidation.
I rarely make recommendations, but I do make an exception for this formula, which clearly represents the best value for money on the market.

Odor and allergic reaction
The smell of the product is strong and I had lots of small pimples which appeared 3-4 days after the first use. And for the first time in a long time, big inflamed pimples. I think I had an allergic reaction, so I don't recommend it for sensitive skin...

I don't really understand why everyone posts a photo of their bottle. it's the same as the one on the app...
perhaps we should publish photos of his results?
in short, as far as I'm concerned, it makes my hyperpigmentation disappear, but not the few red spots I have on my forehead and nose.

a little liquid
Combination and sensitive skin
i finished a bottle of skinceuticals phloretin which made all but 1 of my spots disappear.

I try the geek one, always applying only to spots.
It's quite liquid, so it's harder to apply locally. .

great results on my skin, especially on radiance, for a small price. doesn't stick, absorbs quickly and allows me to follow the other steps.
Can be a little liquid. attention fragile formula: keep in a cool place and use in 3 months. I use it every morning and therefore finish it before it oxidizes.
