I love this serum. It made my skin less dull, helped reduce fine lines and makes the overall tone of my skin look amazing. I have rosacea and I’m in my early 40s. My friends, how good my skin looks all of the time. Highly recommend this!

Worth the price!

This product is a game changer! It’s definitely on the pricier side but worth it! 10/10 recommend. I’ve been using it for over a year now and it’s made a big difference in my skin!

Amazing glow!

I have sensitive, dry, and usually dull skin. Adding this to my regimen over the past 3 months has noticeably improved my skin texture and glow. One bottle has lasted me for the full three months, so I think the cost is pretty reasonable for the result. Definitely repurchasing!

A game changer for my sun spots!

Though this product is a little pricey, it is gentle on my sensitive skin and really makes a difference for my sun spots. It was so gentle, I could even use it while I was pregnant. Highly recommend!

Skin loves it

Took a chance on this. It’s expensive but my skin has never looked better. It doesn’t usually tolerate vitamin C serum well - I’m convinced others in a similar (although maybe slightly less) price range have made my skin feel sticky and (it may just be in my head) but I felt like my t-zone was more oily. This soaks in well, feels good, and my skin seems to love it!

Great vitamin c option!

Great option for a super gentle, non irritating vitamin c. Fights against free radicals and damage caused by pollution. Get the benefits of vitamin c without any irritation. Also addresses redness in the skin. Very light weight.

Does it all

Seriously does it all - smooths, brightens, heals. I noticed my skin more glowy within a week. A staple in my routine.

Amazing!

I’ve been using this for 6 months now and can see a difference in my skin tone and brightness. I use a half a pump per use to have it last longer.

I recently began using the Defense and Repair Serum and absolutely love how it makes my skin feel! Although I haven't been using it for long enough to comment on its long-term effects, I can almost see an immediate improvement in my skin tone and pigmentation after application. I also got the duo kit and have been using the overnight cream alongside the serum. Highly recommend!

I’ll keep using this because I love how it soothes my redness and isn't irritating for a vitamin C formula.

I've been using this for a week now and I'm absolutely loving it. Initially, I thought I was having a reaction on the first day, but it turned out to be just an adjustment period. I'm excited to see how this will transform my skin. It works perfectly with the Even Tone and Trio Moisturizer. Applying it feels so lightweight yet hydrating on my face.

This product has been a mainstay in my routine since I first tried it! I believe it was the 'duo' pack with Alpharet Overnight that I initially used. The serum is lightweight, easy to apply, and integrates seamlessly with my other skincare products. I've seen significant improvements in my skin with consistent use.

This is the only vitamin C that doesn't cause me to break out or get a rash. It's amazing and gives me a noticeable glow when I use it!

This is my second time buying this product, and even though it's pricey, it's absolutely worth it! The texture, tone, and clarity of my skin are unparalleled compared to any other product I've tried.

This serum is incredible! It brightens your skin like no other product. It's gentle, acne-safe, and fragrance-free. I saw results in just two weeks, evening out my complexion. I will definitely keep repurchasing this product. I love it!
