    Lightweight. Fast results on my dark spots. I don’t think it’s glitter btw but rather the hydrolyzed HA spheres. I use it only at night.

    haven’t been using many skin care products other than basic face wash and moisturizer after a bout of allergic reactions last year. i got this because my electrologist said vitamin c would help with hyperpigmentation. sadly the allergy recurred. It went on nicely and i like the shimmer but not hypoallergenic for me sadly.

    Momma4 - 29 days ago, Verified purchaser
    Serum felt great and seemed to be amazing until I realized I had tiny gold glitter particles all over my face and hands. I looked like I had just handled a Christmas card. I couldn’t figure out what I had touched that had glitter and then I realized it’s this serum. So apparently “Luminous” means glitter?! Really disappointed. Hoping they revisit this product and offer a glitter free option because the serum felt great. Can’t speak to results because I only tried it once, I won’t use it again and it’s going back.

    I had high hopes for this but it CONTAINS GLITTER, which is possibly disclosed with the word “luminosity”. I’m so bummed.

    I have been using all Cetaphil skincare since I was a teenager. I was so excited to try this. Why is there glitter in this. And it’s safe for sensitive skin? NO.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Cetaphil Brightening Vitamin C Serum is a gentle and effective option for those looking to brighten their skin and even out their tone. With 10% pure Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, it hydrates while gradually reducing dullness and dark spots. The lightweight, non-greasy texture absorbs quickly, making it suitable for layering under other skincare products. While it may not be as potent as some competitors, its fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested formula is perfect for sensitive skin. This serum is an excellent choice for beginners or anyone seeking a subtle glow without irritation.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good brand to use. I don't know all too much about serums but i like that vitamin c is included in this, as I could use all the brightness I can get on my skin. I haven't seen a change yet but I have hopes. Especially for the colder winter months! The bottle is easy to use and a good portion. Decent product i think nonetheless, and look forward to the results later on. Fingers crossed.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m scared of vitamin c as they generally end up breaking me out but this one was gentle and yet effective. It does help in glow up of the skin and helps fade scars as well over a prolonged period of time

    Just bought this today and opened it and I hate when the words radiant or luminosity are used, because Im finding out they mean they put glitter in it. I can’t say how the products works yet, but I don’t like putting glitter all over my face.
