Hey guys! I'm back with a review about Cosrx Real Fit Vitamin Serum. I received this products from the brand when I applied for the review program.
What I have here are the Retinol (.5 Retinyl Palmitate) Serum, Vitamin C (23%) Serum and Vitamin E (20%) Serum. These serums are concentrated that's why its 20ml amount will goes a long way. The Vitamin C serum should be consume 2months after you open it while the Retinol and Vitamin E has 3months shelf life after opening.
Thoughts:
Retinol Serum
Contains .05% Retinyl Palmitate and 72.5% Calendula Officinalis Extract, these are skin soothing,refining brightening and firming ingredients.
It has a milky texture that slightly viscous, it absorbs quickly and feels good on skin. It has a faint scent that I think comes from the sunflower seed oil which is also one of its ingredient. It's my first time to try Retinol and I really feel a bit nervous and also excited about it. I use this serum for 2 weeks already at night time, I apply this after cleansing and before applying toner. At first 2 days I experience a slight purging effect on skin I got small breakouts but it disappear quickly and I never got breakouts after that even though I don't have enough sleep because of 1week of graveyard shift. I also experienced that my skin feels a little bit thirsty after using this serum and using a toner with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E serum really helps to quenched my skin. My skin feels smoother and more firm after 2 weeks of using this serum and I think this also balances the oil and moisture on my skin as my skin becomes less oily. This serum is really good and I love the effects that it gives on my skin.
Vitamin C Serum
Contains 23% pure vitamin C and propolis that helps to brighten, even the tone and prevents skin oxidation. It has a slight yellow color with a slight viscous consistency. It absorbs quickly on skin and has a natural scent of vitamin C. I remember that it fizzed when I opened its cap, I also experienced a tingling sensation at first application. It means that the ascorbic acid is really active. I only use it at day time and every other day for 3 weeks. It gives a brightening and plump effect on my skin. My dark spots also slightly fades. I always wear sunscreen after using this serum.
Vitamin E Serum
Contains 20% pure vitamin E and 5 kinds of seed oil such as sunflower, macadamia,grape seed and jojoba. It helps to replenish, moisturize and nourish the skin.
It has a clear, rich and oil-like consistency that leaves my skin moisturized and hydrated. It has a faint bitter scent that I think comes from one of its ingredients. I use this for 3 weeks already, twice a day and this really helps to bring back the moisture and hydration on my skin. This serum is perfect to pair on acids especially vitamin C.
What's your favorite vitamin serum?
