I’ve been meaning to try the Mario Badescu brand, and since I’ve heard so many great things about their Vitamin C Serum I thought this was a good product to start with. To summarize, I don’t love this, and I don’t hate this. After applying this serum it takes a while to dry and once it does it has a tacky feeling, which isn’t a huge deal if you are using a moisturizer or other products afterward. I found this to be a decent Vitamin C Serum, but not quite as good as others I’ve tried such as the Timeless Vitamin C, CosRX Triple C Liquid Lightning, Peter Thomas Roth Potent C Power Serum, or the DermaDoctor High Potency Evening Oil.
I really wish that Mario Badescu would list the percentage of Vitamin C they use in this formula, although I suspect it is a bit less than some of the vitamin c serums I listed above. I also think that this was probably geared towards those with oily or breakout prone skin due to their inclusion of Tea Tree Oil. It does have a bit of scent due to the Lavender. I also concur that this is best used in the evening. This is certainly a decent Vitamin C Serum, just not up there with some of my favorites.
