Avalon OrganicsIntense Defense with Vitamin C, Facial Serum 1 oz

Okay, so I had to review this product because I am blown away! First it smells amazing, but I love citrus smell. It glides right on and absorbs quickly. I will warn you my face felt hot and my skin was a little red. I put the cream on top and went to bed. In the morning my skin looked brighter and more clear...beautiful! Hydrated and some of the more faint pregnancy mask spots were lighter. I love love it! I have worked in skincare for 16 years and have sensitive skin: I get rashes and hives very easily. The warmth and the redness were just the ingredients working. You have to know your skin...know when it is truly an allergic reaction and when it is just active ingredients working. Many great treatments you may feel a tingle etc. especially hydoxy acids or vitamin c products. They are working and it goes away shortly. Serums/treatments tend to be stronger because they go deeper than creams. I even wore it during the day under my moisturizer and makeup. I was a little red at first but then it went away. Did not disturb my makeup at all. My skin was balanced and hydrated all day...very smooth and bright. It feels warm when it is on, but only for a short while. I am using the whole Avalon Vitamin C line and am in love! I will probably only use the serum at night since it is so active and to not waste it. I use the Cream, Milk cleanser, and toner too. I am very very happy I bought this product and highly reccommend.

I got this for my wife to try out, and she liked it so much, I've had to keep ordering more. She says this is a good moisturizer, and really helps her skin feel better. She has sensitive skin too, so this is a big plus that it doesn't cause her any issues, and it does what it's designed to do, with NO side effects. I do think it's over-priced, but, if it makes my wife happy, price is of no concern.

Writing reviews really work...that's why I'm writing one myself.I'm in my late 20s and still fighting the dreaded acne (sigh, sigh) and was looking for a more natural facial routine. I read the reviews on the Vitamin C serum and took a leap of faith. So Glad I Did!I love that it absorbs into the skin so quickly. I have oily skin and I was so surprised to hear after 2 days of using the serum my skin was so even and "not so shiny"....and my skin was soft! My friends and family are also noticing a difference in my skin complexion so this is a great product that works for me.I use this after treating my skin with 100% tea tree oil, so my skin is thirsty and appreciative of the moisturizer! It's a nice smell too (I thought it was going to be very orange-y but it's not...a pleasant citrus scent that's not overbearing).I'd say to give this a-go for sure. I'm ordering another today that's how much I like it. FYI: I use this after cleansing each morning and it's been a little over a month since I purchased it. So the 1 oz. will last for a little over a month. I wish it came in a bigger size but it's worth the money!

The product claims that it tones, improve the texture and clarity of your skin. I have oily-acne prone skin. I use it to get rid of my old and new acne scar.... i have been using this for three weeks or so now and I have to say it does lighten up my acne scar. usually my acne scars would not leave my face until a couple months later but the Vitamin C serum really help fasten up the process. It doesn't make me break out in what I've seen. I am not really excited about the smell.. smells like a weird or rotting oranges... even my boyfriend said my face smells of orange when he kissed me (which i think its kinda funny but a little embarrassing, but i guess it's better than having scars/ i use my moisturizer to cover this weird smell). The serum is a little sticky in my opinion.. not oily, doesn't clog my pores, i'm still using it.. I will use the whole product , as of right now I will be planning to purchase a new one once i am done with this.I got sent the wrong Avalon Organics Vitamin C facial serum, instead they sent me the eye serum instead... soo i wasn't too happy about that. Other than that I do like this.

I love this serum. It is my all-time favorite. My only quibble is that it is a bit on the expensive side. Cost aside, this is the one I buy most often. I cannot comment on the wrinkle / fine line reducing effect, as this is not the reason that I use it. I use this in place of a facial lotion each morning. I absolutely hate face lotion and refuse to use it. Regardless of brand, I don't like how thick they are, I can feel them on my face all day, and I never like the smell of any of them. Vitamin C serum is my savior. I have used many brands, but this is by far the best as far as I am concerned. This one leaves my skin feeling super silky and ready for makeup. I don't feel it after I apply it and the scent is extremely lite and natural. Avalon Organics is also an environmentally conscious company and does not test on animals. I would rather give my money to them than to a company with different/unknown ethics.

Love the way my skin feel and smell after I apply this Serum I can sure see the difference. I will definitely buy again.

This great antioxidant is the first thing that goes on my face under a sunscreen moisturizer and foundation. I love the subtle orange scent which doesn’t affect my allergies and disappears after a few minutes. It seems to have helped my skin to be more clear and smooth.

I haven't had this product very long and I don't even use it every day but I can tell that it is working. My scarring is definitely getting lighter and it is improving my acne as well. I wish I would have taken "before" pictures because I do want to post "after" pictures or at least show progress. In addition to this serum, I'm also using a 10% benzol peroxide wash, a derma roller (both purchased from Amazon), as well as a face brush and fade cream. I see people mentioning the smell of it .While it doesn't smell as citrusy as I would like it to , the smell does not last.

Best product ever! I bought it at winners and figured why not try it and now I can not seem to go back to nothing else. I have used Clinique, estee lauder, boscia, origins, caudalie you name it and nothing has made my skin look as good as this product. Highly recommend it!

En el título pone que es una crema de ojos, y en realidad es un serum facial. Me lo compré fiándome del título y ahora resulta que es un serum facial. No es una crema de ojos, más bien pone, evitar el contacto de los ojos. Me parece grave que Amazon no sepa anunciar bien sus productos. No le pongo una estrella, porque seguro que como sérum es bueno.

The serum's quality is really great, it gives me a soft skin, and cleared everything up. I definitely recommend it !

Results from the very first use, and lots of compliments too, from both men and women.Every one saying how lovely and luminous my skin looks, like I have been on a pampering holiday this after only one week of use and not even letting anyone know I had added something new to my skincare products.I also love the fact that this is organic and uses less synthetic chemicals than other serums on the market.

I am gradually switching to products that test in animals. This is a wonderful serum. Fresh orange scent. After a few weeks, I've noticed a smoother texture to my skin. I use it only at night. I have oily skin and am over 40.
