Okay, so you know I'm always on the hunt for a bargain that actually delivers, right? Well, I've been seeing Eclat Skincare Glow Up Vitamin C Serum all over my TikTok feed, and for £6.79, I thought, "Why not?" Especially with this awful grey London weather making my skin look dull. And let me tell you, I've wasted money on worse things!
First impressions: the texture is lovely. It's like silk, but not greasy at all. This surprised me! In my experience, some Vitamin C serums have that weird, tangy smell. This one? Nope. This one has a really subtle, almost citrusy scent that I actually like. I slathered it on after cleansing and before my moisturiser. It feels really hydrating! The only thing is, it does take a good few minutes to fully absorb, so don't rush your skincare routine. Trust me on this!
So, I started using it religiously, morning and night. I keep it next to my toothbrush so I don't forget (pro tip!). For the first few days, I didn't really notice much of a difference. This didn't work for me at first. But on day 5, I looked in the mirror and my skin just looked…brighter. Like I'd actually had 8 hours of sleep (which, let's be real, hasn't happened in years).
I've kept using it for three weeks now, and the results are amazing. My skin tone is so much more even, and those little dark spots I had from sun damage are definitely fading. Even my husband noticed! He actually asked me what I was using, which is a HUGE deal. Unlike the No7 serum I used before, which just made my skin feel sticky, this one actually seems to be making a real difference. It’s like my skin is drinking it up!
The only downside, as I mentioned, is the absorption time. It takes a little while, so if you're in a super rush in the mornings, it might not be ideal. Also, if you have super oily skin, you might find it a bit too hydrating. But honestly, for the price, I can overlook those minor things.
The verdict? I am OBSESSED. I will 100% be buying this again. Eclat Skincare Glow Up Vitamin C Serum is perfect for anyone with dull, tired-looking skin who wants a boost of radiance without breaking the bank. You can grab it from Boots here View Product. Seriously, run, don’t walk!
