Eva Naturals Vitamin C Serum for Face – Anti Aging Dark Spot Remover with Retinol, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide & Salicylic Acid – Face Serum for Women for Clear, Smooth, Radiant Skin

Liquid gold In a bottle
I started using this product on August 9th, 2020. I have always been a bit apprehensive about trying something different from my normal skincare routine. What I was using has been working well; basically, a cleanser, a granular scrub of some sort, an Alpha Hydroxy Acid product and an eye moisturizer. I have always gotten compliments on my skin, but I regularly reevaluate what the needs of my skin are every few years and make minor changes to my routine. I felt it was time to try something a little different. Skincare has become far more scientific over the years with a host of products that actually work, but change is hard when you have something you are happy with. As I was shopping around on Amazon, I came across this. It had ingredients I researched online and I figured I had nothing to lose since I could ALWAYS go back to what I was already using. It was inexpensive enough, so why not try it? What I liked about the labeling of the product was the list of ingredients and I was especially curious about the Niacinamide and the MSM. I had never tried it and felt that my skin might benefit so long as the other ingredients kept their promise of keeping my skin clear (Retinol & Salacylic Acid) without drying it out.I was going to wait a full month before posting a review, but at approximately three weeks in, I have to say that this product is AMAZING. My skin is translucent, the texture is refined, my coloring has become more even. My razor glides over my skin quite effortlessly and after a shave, my skin feels so smooth and so soft, that I literally can’t believe it’s my skin.I had figured that with age, certain changes in my skin were inevitable no matter what I used. As effective as my previous regimen was, I noticed that uneven discolorations had popped up here and there (hyperpigmentation). I felt that the AHA I was using, would have to be replaced with a stronger / higher percentage product, but I didn’t want to go that route if I didn’t have to. I was already at 14% and I was concerned about going much stronger, but it was obvious that my skin was getting resistant. I originally started with 8% decades ago, then eventually went up to 10%, then 12% and finally 14%. I also wanted a product that was more of an all in one kind of thing (clearing, fading AND moisturizing)Anyway, with some apprehension, I chose to try this product which appeared to have a LOT of stellar reviews. I thought that it had to be too good to be true, especially given the price, but I am one who has absolutely NEVER believed that a higher price meant a better product. I’ve tried Clinique and Elizabeth Arden and Estee Lauder and any number of more expensive products, especially in the early years when I was desperate for ANYTHING that would keep my skin clear. They were either too harsh or completely useless and ineffective. It took a while, but I finally got past the myth that expensive meant better and went the natural product route which gave me my first success. I added the AHA much later in my 30’s.In any case, that first night when I used the serum, I thought there was no way this light, milky, watery substance could POSSIBLY be as effective as my current routine. There was a very mild sting just as with my AHA products. The scent, which I would describe as medicinal, wore off as soon as the product was absorbed…literally seconds. After a couple of days, I started noticing that my coloring started to even out ever so slightly and then a few days later, most surprisingly, a blemish that had left a dark mark was fading much faster than normally expected. Usually, it would take several weeks to disappear. So, I got through week one and was pleased, but week 2 saw the surface peeling and flaking away leaving a fresh layer of skin underneath. My scrub easily assisted in the process of removing the dead surface cells. The difference was dramatic. Suddenly my skin was even smoother than I could remember for a long time, especially after having used AHA products religiously for decades. Little invisible subsurface needle sized bumps (congested pores) released their debris and were easily washed away with the scrub as well. The texture was better and shaving became even easier. The blades simply glided across the surface getting all the hairs in one pass. Discolorations that I had accepted as being permanent, are either gone or so significantly diminished that they are easily overlooked or discreetly hidden with the tiniest dab of skin matching concealer. Week three simply shows further improvement. In fact, there’s nothing to hide. I can’t believe this light, thin liquid could possibly be so effective, in such a short time. I immediately ordered another bottle after the second week, so that should tell you something. I don’t want to be without it. Now I do have a few cautions:1. Your skin will flake, but if you use a scrub, be gentle, especially if the scrub you use is highly abrasive, as mine is. I have a VERY hardy skin, but I did over-do it a little one time. I found that laying off both products for a day easily took care of the minor irritation I had caused myself. From then on I have been very gentle (letting the products do their thing and especially not working my scrub so forcefully; even using a less abrasive formula) and the products work together like a dream.2. I chose to stop using my AHA products, as a precaution, for two weeks prior to receiving the new serum, since I wasn’t sure what to expect and didn’t want to risk a possible reaction.Given that my skin does NOT fall into the “sensitive” category, what works for me may not work for you. I STRONGLY SUGGEST DOING A PATCH TEST AS RECOMMENDED over a few days to see how your skin reacts. I had no ill effects other than being overzealous with my scrub the one time. If the product irritates you after a few times of regular use, stop for a day or two or limit how often you use it…maybe once as opposed to twice a day or ever other day. This strategy worked with my AHA products and I quickly got used to them, but certainly, if the product irritates you no matter what you do, then it’s obviously not for you.3. You may experience a slight purge. It probably depends on your skin. I noticed in some reviews that this was mentioned, while in others there was no indication that this happened. One reviewer stopped using the product because of this, but from the photos that were posted, the purge was quite active and severe, but no product is perfect for everyone. Mine was very slight. I didn’t panic, especially since the little invisible pin points I mentioned earlier were gone in one scrub. I had a couple of blemishes that formed on my forehead, which is very oily, but they cleared and faded from view in just a few days. I know my skin well enough that I was not concerned, especially since normally I would have to deal with the blemish for several days and the aftermath of a discoloration for weeks beyond that. With this product, all was well and back to normal in just a matter of a few days. A dark mark never formed. The blemishes cleared, faded to pink and then disappeared completely in less than a week. For me, that’s good; in fact miraculous.4. I found that for me, the product made it through week three, but I have just now opened the other bottle. Using this on my face and neck (which also looks better), I find that the bottle contents did not last a month, but that could just be me. I do think that Eva Naturals should consider offering a larger size option, just as they do with their eye serum, which I purchased along with my second bottle of the clearing serum and have just started using that as well. I’ll give a review on the eye serum in a few more weeks, especially since research of the ingredients shows that they take several weeks to show improvement although I’m already pretty hopeful.In summary, this is an effective multi task product that not only addresses multiple challenging skincare needs but also simplifies your routine and costs a lot less too. I noticed that other products are available as well. It appears that Eva Naturals has designed their line-up to allow customers to tailor their regimens to individual needs. That’s how it should be. Just research your ingredients so that you know what they do and what to expect. So, get it, try it and see if you like it. Just remember that this particular product is for skin that has multiple challenges including acne, so figure out your skincare needs and then proceed accordingly. There’s a lot to choose from. So far I like the eye serum, but as i previously indicated, it has not been long enough to judge the effectiveness. I hope this was helpful to someone. Good luck. I hope your experience will be as good as mine.Update 9/21/2020:So, another 10 days or so have passed and my skin has continued to improve. I’m REALLY happy. My coloring has completely evened out. My forehead is purging still, but not to any great degree. That’s my oiliest area anyway. Once the blemishes pass the area clears up and the skin is like glass. There’s just one area above the temple on one side that is going through the change. I do plan to try pairing this with a snail mucin product after another month or two. Perhaps I will try a moisturizer or another skin repairing serum. I haven’t decided yet. I have ordered additional products from Eva; a toner and an exfoliating scrub. Their cleanser is currently unavailable and has been since I first ordered this product. In the meantime, I’ve gone ahead and ordered cleansers from another company and fully adopted a 7 step Korean skin care regimen. I had no idea that all these years I was doing something very similar already, so not a huge leap, but the ten step is really more of a myth and unrealistic (something you would do when giving yourself a facial perhaps). I will be writing separate reviews of their eye serum and the neck cream, both of which I am pleased with so far, but it’s still too early.

Nice product
It smells wonderful. The spa I go to for facials suggested this product. And, it’s not expensive.

It is as good as the previous reviews say. I tried everything and nothing was as effective as this one. Smells nice too. My new favourite product for acne!

Please do not stop making this wonderful serum. I used to use a similar one some years back and the company changed the recipe, it no longer had the salicylic acid in it, I have been without it for maybe 5 years now. This was a disaster as far as my skin was concerned. About 10 days ago, I discovered this brand. While the UK reviews here on Amazon are underwhelming, do read the ones on Amazon.com, I concur with those. In a week my skin has turned around dramatically. Sadly, this morning I picked my bottle up but I had clearly had not screwed the lid on last night after applying it at bedtime, it dropped and went everywhere in my bathroom. I have come to order another bottle and it reminded I should write a review that this is a great product.I am 61, I do not suffer from breakouts, but had greasy sallow skin in my youth, which has left some open pores, and this serum closes them up. I was also a sun worshipper when younger and have some sunspots. This serum does all that is required to make my skin glow, retinol for fine wrinkles & sun damage, salicylic acid to close and tighten my open pores while speeding up cell renewal plus vitamin C for glow and free radical protection. Please note, I normally allow at least 12 weeks to see how a new product works, so that it has time to work through the renewal of skin cells coming to the surface. I can after a week see this is what my skin loves and there is a definite turnaround in how it is looking, I, therefore, expect after 12 weeks when all cells have come to the surface & grown & regenerated when using this serum, to see a great end result. There is very little scent, it does not sting or nip, despite the fact I use a light glycolic toner before its use, and it sinks into my skin easily before I apply my other products. I am so pleased to have found this serum.

El producto llegó antes de lo esperado y en excelentes condiciones, no tiene caja pero venía sellado y con protección plástica. Me gusta mucho como me deja la piel, he notado en solo 8 días algo de reducción de manchitas pequeñas y claras, así que espero que siga trabajando bien. Eso sí no huele muy bonito, huele como a muchas hierbas en caldo 😂 pero el olor se quita en cuanto se seca y no da problemas. Es un olor muy “natural” por decirlo de algún modo. En general me parece un muy buen producto.
