PILGRIM Korean 5% Vitamin C Face Serum (Oil Based) for glowing skin with Hyaluronic acid | Vitamin c serum for radiant skin | Women & Men | Korean Skin Care | Vegan & Cruelty-free | 30ml

I purchased this item solely on word of mouth and it didn't fail to disappoint. I have dry skin and I have been looking for something similar besides the regular moisturizers. I started seeing results after just few days. The dark spots on my face started reducing and my skin started feeling hydrated. Make sure you apply this religiously every night before you sleep and massage your face for few minutes. The fragrance too is very nice.I now swear by this particular serum and since it was good I am going to try other products from this brand.Worth the price!

I am not a big fan of vitamin c serums/ lotions / moisturizers/ toners because My skin is very sensitive to citrus products in any form when applied topically e.g. appearance of redness accompanied by temporary baby bumps on face…or itchiness ..etc… . So basically vitamin c almost has never been a part of my skin routine ever. That being said ,I believe it’s good to incorporate vitamin c in one’s skin care .I came across this product thru IG where it was a vit c combined with almond oil , Hyaluronic acid ,olive oil, Camille and while lotus extract .. I instantly bought it off amazon because the composition of the serum is oil based off ingredients that can calm your agitated skin ( for me it’s vitamin c that makes my skin agitated).Cons :1) it does not have a citrusy fragrance that is a trademark of vitamin c in most products . So if you are looking for pure vitamin c. This is not it .2) this should not be part of summer skin care routine or for oily skin.3) whether it helps in discoloration .. it’s too soon to comment . Normally for any serum to be effective one has to be patient for 4 weeks at the most .4) I won’t call it serum : it oil based vitamin c.Serums are light weight and have high absorption because al the ingredients are super volatile and used in extract form. I wish pilgrim had made the consistency a little less dense basically using almond , olive in extract form instead of oils because even though it’s instructed to be used in your pm skin care routine .. the serum does not get absorbed by the skin quickly and and my skin looks oily even in the morning even though so I squeeze a only drop or two before bedtime right after toner.Pros1)No more agitated skin for me :)2) it keeps my skin soft and supple even after the fact I forget adding a moisturizer after face wash .3) you do not need to apply almond oil or olive oil separately on face as it’s already in there4 ) a little goes all the way .. so good value for price . Ps. - do not drip serums on face like influencers .. it’s sheer wastage of product5) skin calming ingredients for sensitive skin4) soothing smellBaseline :Go for this product only if you want to include hydration in your winter regimeGo for this product only if your skin becomes agitated after applying vitaminGo for this product if you have never applied vitamin c and want to give a tryGo for this product only if you have a super chapped dry skin that needs intense hydrationGo for this product as a step to prime your skin in way advance if you are going for a matt finished look.Go for this product if you are running under a budge cut just want one product to do all the job of hydration, clear pigmentation and nourishment to skin within 800 bucksIf you do not have any of the criterias I would recommend go for cruelty free Korean products- klairs , cosrx , Tony molly ,

I do like this brand . But I feel this product is more targeted for Dry Skin as compared to my Oily/Combination Skin.Pros:--It does contain a decent amount of Vit C, but toactually see some effect , it might take a few weeks so be patient.-Hyaluronic Acid is a great ingredient , but be sure you are using it when your skin is moist , or has some toner on, otherwise being a humectant it might absord water from your skin making it too dry.Cons:--Even though I don't have active acne , I did not like how it didn't absorb that well and left an oily layer. Usually serums take their time but get absorbed.-The smell! It has more oils than other ingredients IMO, even though they've not mentioned the percentage, the overall consistency is oily and so is the smell. That being said it did not cause any breakouts.

I have oily skin. So when I used it the first day I freaked out.. because it is so oily I knew I will break out the next day . But omg this product is amazing been a week no break out.. My skin feels so soft and it's glowing . The cost is worth is because you have to use very little .This serum will easily last me 3 months. Gonna check out their other products too.

Not good

I’ve been searching for a good Vitamin C serum and I am very happy with the Pilgrim one. The scent and feel is just right - not too thick but not too thin either. I have decided to use it in the night as vitamin c is known to make skin brighter and softer ...cleaned my face and applied a few drops and massaged it. Feel like the skin looks better already!

After applying one month my face skin does not look vibrant and rejuvenated as the product demands, even when I stop using it for some days, my skin becomes darker and pale than my original skin tone . I am disappointed.

Let me start off by saying this is NOT a serum. The first 2 ingredients on the bottle are almond and olive oil which makes this product oil based and heavy, and not light as a serum should be (In the cosmetics industry, ingredients are always listed in order of prominence. This means that the ingredients follow an order of highest percentage to lowest percentage)It takes a lot of rubbing into the skin to soak in and it feels like a layer on your skin. The product is heavily scented which is another thing you should beware of in your skin care. Not sure I will continue using the product.
