Vitamin c Bondi sandsThe ingredients in this vitamin c are great- ascorbic acid and licorice to brighten. The container is cute and definitely designed for pictures social media. The container is a bit odd. The lid is a screw tip and you have to make sure it is put back on properly otherwise it leaks. That being said it still leaves marks and old serum around the base of the tip. Having used vitamin c for many years I think this one is ok. It won't be in my top buys. While affordable, it is super sticky on the skin. It leaves a residue no matter what. It's uncomfortable. It also has a strong scent more than others. Also I've received this serum twice and each time it oxides so quickly. One arrived already orange and the other one within a week turned orange. Not good. It just shouldn't oxidation this quickly. Overall there are other vitamin Cs I like better.

I just don't like itI thought I got a bad one, but I've checked several testers in store and they're all the same. The product leaks and it smells bad. I don't like applying it by itself because it feels sticky no matter how much or how little I apply. I do like that the packaging isn't transparent. According to the bottle you only need 2-3 drops per application. Which makes it reasonably good value for money. I have never been more tempted to throw a product out. I will not be repurchasing which is a shame because I have tried other Bondi Sands products which I like.

Unfortunately notI really wanted to like this serum, I grabbed it instead of my regular vitamin C as I was going away for a month and wanted to try something more affordable that I wouldn't be heartbroken losing and it was in a plastic bottle instead of glass like most others. It was terrible! The consistency is super sticky and the serum stains clothing if it ends up on them and not washed immediately. The bottle kept leaking no matter how tightly it was done up. It also had a strong fragrance to it compared to other brands. Yes, it's wallet-friendly but I definitely won't be purchasing it again. It's a shame because the other Bondi Sands products have been great over the years so I was really disappointed that this one didn't hit the mark.

affordable vitamin c serumI was looking for some time for a vitamin C serum that wasn't at an astronomical price point and this certainly hits the spot. The bottle is small and easy to take travelling. It blends and spreads really easily onto the skin, it's not too thick at all and I've noticed a brighter, more 'awake' glean to my skin since using this product. My only issue is the smell of the product is a little funky, however once massaged into the skin you can't really smell it anymore .. but you just want to products you're putting on your face to smell lovely in my opinion. I still keep buying it though so it's not a deal breaker!

Wow 10% Vitamin C - Recommended!10% Vitamin C for this price! And it is as good, if not better than any expensive Vitamin C product I have tried previously (and I have tried a lot). I'm a convert to Bondi Sands new products and this one is no exception. It is smooth, silky and very hydrating. Absorbs into the skin right away with no grittiness than some of the cheaper Vitamin C products can have. The packaging is simple and works perfectly keeping the product stable and air tight (I much prefer to use a squeezy bottle than a glass dropper). All in all - highly recommended.

Good absorptionI have found this vitamin C serum to be good Allround it absorbs nicely and leaves skin feeling softer, I haven't noticed any lightening of my skin yet but I have only been using it for two weeks now, I'm not a fan of the smell but it wasn't enough to stop using it, the bottle itself isn't the greatest as I found it leaks even when I opened for the first time it had leaked around the rim but considering it was cheaper than its competitors it didn't bother me to much, I have had a few breakouts because of it over my forehead but hopefully this stops as my skin has adjusted to the new skincare routine, I do have sensitive skin so a few breakouts from a new product isn't unlike me!

Not badI was keen to try this product out and add it to my morning skincare routine. It's easy to apply & absorbs easily before applying sunscreen. Leaves skin feeling smooth & bright, my only gripe is the scent. Smells of alcohol & something weird but not overly strong. Overall quite pleased with this product - will purchase again when Read more about review stating I was keen to tryit runs out! This leaves my skin so much brighter, I look far more awake, healthy and radient since I started using it. I've had no irritation and find it absorbs super easily.

Great affordable serumI have used many bondi sands products and was delighted when i heard they were launching a skincare range.
I love everything skincare and if i can try keep it Australian made even better! I use a vitamin C serum daily and find depending on the brand and percentage they can be quite expensive so when my last product ran out i jumped at the chance to get to sample the bondi sands version.
This serum although less potent than some of the others i have used is quite thick (almost closer to a runny cream than a serum)
it is quite dark (almost a burnt orange colour) but distributes quite evenly and layers with other products fine.
This product certainly gives you an added glow factor when applying and illuminates the skin wonderfully. I find its not quite as moisturising as some others but i always layer with other products so the overall moister factor wasn't a huge issue.
Its an inexpensive way to add a 'bit of glow' to your routine.
I will say i found the packaging a bit of a pain with the product often leaking from the cap even when sitting upright and a hard residue forming around the applicator top, it may of just been a dodgy bottle but considering the price wasn't a huge issue.
