Prequel Skin Lucent-C, Vitamin C Serum for Face. Professional Facial L-Ascorbic Acid, Ferulic Acid Formula with Niacinamide. Clinical Skincare for Luminous Firm Skin. 1oz Pump

I love this Vitamin C! It performs as well as more expensive vitamin C serums, its such great quality. I haven't had any issue with premature oxidization. It smells a little bacon-y but I know that is from the ferulic acid which is helping with efficacy. My skin looks brighter, less dull, and feels great. It's a watery texture so its a little weird to apply but still easy. I would definitely recommend this Vitamin C Serum to anyone looking for a good morning serum.

This is the single most incredible skin care product i’ve ever tried. After a single use i could notice a difference in my skin! If you’re thinking it’s worth it, let this be your sign that YES absolutely. I will say it has a bit of a smell. I describe it as more of a herbal medicinal smell but hot dog water is weirdly accurate as well. But i think is well worth it. Everyone that knows me has made a comment about how nice my skin looks.

UPDATE: I changed my rating to 1 star because the bottle is AWFUL. As mentioned below, it leaked during shipping. Now that I've started using it, I have additional feedback. The bottle dispenses WAY too much serum for one use no matter how gently you try to press the top. The bottle is made so you cannot dispense less product. It's SOOO wasteful. When you dispense the serum into your hand, the bottle still leaks & serum runs down the side (always have an orange ring on the counter where I set it down ... yay! something else to clean 😐). Unless you're ok with spending money just to waste half the product, don't buy this. My next vitamin C serum purchase I will definitely go back the other one I used before I decided to try out Prequel. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Haven't tried the product yet, but I've heard good things about it. HOWEVER, it arrived today and some portion of it leaked and I'm not sure how much product was lost ... so I'm glad I purchased on a sale price because I did not receive a full bottle 😞. Maybe the manufacturer needs to work on the bottle being leak-proof.

This is my second vitamin c skincare product and I’m glad to say I won’t be switching to another one. Before, I tried a Korean vitamin c cream but didn’t notice any effect from it whatsoever. Prequel has brought me the nicer-quality serum that I need. I love that Dr. Sam Ellis makes this important skincare staple both approachable and affordable. It’s very liquidy so it took me a few tries to get the hang of application. I tried pumping several drops directly onto my face like some people do—but I have sensory issues and dislike that feeling. What I do is make a “cup” with the palm of my hand and pump 1-2 pumps of product into it so it pools. I dip my ring finger to get some of the serum and then apply it in large “dots” onto my forehead, then repeat the finger/dot method for my cheeks, chin, neck and nose. Then I use my fingers to collect remaining product from my palm and use them to rub in all of the “dots” evenly. I have dry skin. In my experience this serum is not sticky or tacky after applied. It feels smooth, plump and nice. The smell is a bit strange but I don’t mind it and it goes away after a few minutes. I usually wait 2-5 mins before applying my moisturizer and sunscreen to let it soak in. I will say you should apply this to bare skin always. I accidentally applied it over some leftover self-tanner lotion on my face and it was extremely itchy and uncomfortable all day. Use it as the first step for daily routine and you’ll be good to go.

I am still on the fence of how much I like this product. The smell is weird like most people say but it’s not terrible and I don’t really mind it. The product is a light consistency and it slightly orange so be careful when you’re wearing a white shirt not to get it on your shirt. However, so far it seems to be effective and I absolutely love this brand overall so I recommend trying it out if you’re wanting to try a new vitamin C serum.

I have become a fan of Dr. S. Ellis’ products. My skin has been looking brighter. The only thing I was concerned about was the change in color. Instead of being clear it had a yellow color. Hopefully this has not altered its use.

I have been using this for a few months now and feel that I can give a good review. First this is a high percentage of Vitamin C so I do not recommend it for someone who is new to using Vitamin C. I am not a newbie by any means and this still irritated my skin a little until it got used to it. I started with every couple of days until I was able to work up to every day. It's effective but I will be honest and say it does smell like hot dog water so if you can get past that then it's a decent Vitamin C serum but I think I will go back to using Roc Vitamin C. I just prefer the thicker serum and it was gentler on my skin.

The product itself is fine though oxidizes quickly. My big quip is with the packaging. Once the pump won’t dispense any more product you think ok this must be finished. Wrong! Before tossing it, on a whim I decided to unscrew the top and see if anymore product was in there. A whole bunch came pouring out. I was so dismayed not to mention I’d made a complete mess. There was definitely about 2 or 3 weeks of vitamin C still inside that the pump couldn’t touch. And my unscrew and pour method was not ideal for dispensing these last weeks of product. I don’t know if the straw needs to be longer or if there’s a better fix but the current packaging doesn’t go well with this liquidy slightly oily product. It needs to be a dropper or something else. I won’t buy this again. This exact thing happened to me with their redness relief too.

Leaked bottle. Poorly packed. Product is highly priced and zero quality

Very beautiful in the skin
