I’ve used the COSRX Vitamin C serum for a few weeks. It has helped lighten my acne scars. The texture is lightweight and absorbs fast. My only issue was that it had a slightly strange smell at first, but I got used to it. Overall, I’m happy with how it’s working.

Ho provato il siero COSRX Vitamin C e sono rimasta sbalordita dai risultati! Le cicatrici delle mie imperfezioni sembrano svanire come per magia, un vero incanto. Inoltre, l’odore è davvero fresco; ti sembra di avere direttamente frutta sulla pelle. La consistenza non lascia alcuna sensazione appiccicosa che a volte i prodotti possono portare con sé – super leggero! Da quando lo uso nella mia routine mattutina qui in Piazza Navona, la luminosità del mio viso ha avuto un bello slancio proprio nei momenti più freddi dell’anno. Un must-have!

Galera, esse sérum de vitamina C da COSRX tá simplesmente arrasando! 🥳 Comecei a usar faz umas semanas e minha pele nunca esteve tão radiante. Ele é super levinho e não deixa aquele aspecto oleoso que outros produtos deixam, sabe? O cheiro é bem suave também – tipo uma lufada fresquinha em casa! Além disso, notei as manchas do rosto clareando e minha autoestima só subindo depois desse glow todo. Então se você curte cuidados com a pele sem muito complicar o dia-a-dia… Mermão ou irmã das américas 😀!!! Corre lá pra garantir!

At first glance, I approached COSRX’s The Vitamin C 23 Serum with some doubt. Another serum promising clear skin seemed like just another hype in the beauty jungle of New York City. However, after a week’s consistent application—my reservations began to dissipate! This powerhouse blend genuinely lightened my post-acne scars and provided a healthy radiance that often feels elusive in our busy lives here. With ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid alongside potent Vitamin C for hydration—it convinced me this is more than marketing; it’s artistry combined with science fostering natural brilliance.
