Okay, so you know I'm always on the hunt for that perfect glow, right? I spotted the Florence Organic Vitamin C Serum View Product in Boots and, at £9.99, thought I had nothing to lose. I mean, my skin was looking super dull after all this gloomy UK weather. I tried this when I wasn't expecting much.
First impressions? The serum comes in a dark amber glass bottle, which I always like 'cause it feels fancy and protects the Vitamin C. The texture is silky smooth – not watery, not too thick. It's got a very subtle citrus scent, barely there, which I appreciate. I hate when serums smell like fake oranges, don't you? When I first applied it, my skin felt instantly hydrated, but here's the thing: it does take a while to fully sink in. I've started applying it while I brush my teeth so it has a few minutes to start absorbing. Smart, right?
Now, for the real tea – the results. I've been using this serum religiously for about 3 weeks now, morning and night (I keep it next to my toothbrush so I don't forget!). The first week, honestly, I didn't notice much. This didn't work for me at first. But I kept at it. Around day 5, I looked in the mirror and my skin just looked…brighter? Like I'd actually slept for eight hours (which NEVER happens with my toddler!). Honestly, I was shocked.
After two weeks, my husband even asked if I was using something different! That's when I knew it was working. My skin feels smoother, the tone is more even, and those pesky little dark spots I've been battling seem to be fading. Trust me on this, this stuff is good. Unlike the No7 serum I used before (I wasted money on that one!), this one doesn't leave my skin feeling sticky or irritated. It's like silk but not greasy.
The only thing is, as I mentioned, it takes ages to absorb, so I can't slap my moisturiser on right away. I usually wait about 5-10 minutes. But honestly, the results are totally worth the wait.
The Verdict:
YES, I would 100% buy this again! For £9.99, it's an absolute steal. It's perfect for anyone with dull, uneven skin tone, or anyone looking for a gentle Vitamin C serum to brighten their complexion. It's available at Boots here View Product. If you have oily skin, maybe skip this or use it sparingly at night, as it is quite hydrating. In my experience, less is more.
Pros:
* Affordable
* Brightens skin
* Evens skin tone
* Hydrating
* Smooth texture
* Subtle scent
Cons:
* Takes a while to absorb
* May be too hydrating for oily skin
