Okay, so you know how I've been moaning about my dull skin ever since the weather turned rubbish? Well, I tried this Florence Organic Vitamin C Serum I saw all over TikTok, and OMG, I need to tell you everything.
First impressions? The packaging is pretty basic, but look, here's the thing, who cares when it's only £9.99, right? I got mine from Boots here View Product – so easy to grab when I was getting toothpaste. The serum itself is a light, slightly orange colour and smells subtly citrusy, which I love. It's like silk but not greasy at all. I wasted money on the No7 serum before, this one didn't leave my skin feeling sticky. Total win!
So, I started using it every morning after cleansing and before my moisturiser. The first few days? Nothing major happened, to be honest. I was starting to think it was just another hyped-up product that wouldn't work. But I kept at it, mainly because I hate wasting products (lol!).
Then, on day 5, I looked in the mirror and… well, my skin just looked brighter. Like, noticeably brighter. I actually did a double-take! This surprised me. I couldn't believe it. It was subtle, but definitely there. After a week, I started to realise my skin felt smoother too. My makeup was going on better, and I wasn't getting those annoying dry patches around my nose. Bonus! By week two, my husband actually asked what I was using because my skin was 'glowing' – he NEVER notices anything like that!
I've been using it for three weeks now, and I'm genuinely obsessed. My skin tone is more even, my dark spots are fading, and I just feel more confident without makeup. The only thing is, it takes ages to absorb properly, so you need to factor that into your morning routine. In my experience, I usually put it on while I'm making my tea, and then it's ready for moisturiser by the time I'm done. It’s become a staple! I keep it next to my toothbrush so I don’t forget.
Would I buy it again? ABSOLUTELY. I’ve already ordered a backup bottle! This serum is perfect for anyone with dull, uneven skin who wants a budget-friendly boost. If you have super oily skin, maybe it's not for you, as it is quite hydrating. But honestly, for the price, it's worth a try! Trust me on this.
Pros:
* Super affordable
* Brightens skin
* Evens skin tone
