Potent

I have used Vitamin C products before but this one seems to cause a peeling. I am using less frequently and that helps. Other than that I do see a brightening of my skin. Hopefully the sensitivity will go away.

not a big fan

it's an ok product. i think it brightened my skin. it's hard to tell. i don't like having to squeeze then droplets into my palm, then use my fingertips to dab serum onto my face. too much hassle.

Obagi Clinical Vitamim C and Arbutin sreum

I love the way this serum makes my skin brighter and softer. You only need a few drops. It spreads like water and seems to absorb right in to my skin. At 70, I'm amazed how well it works!

One ingredient off

I’ve been using the serum for 10 days and found the arbutin helped lighten a facial dark spot. Unfortunately, I forgot to read the full list of ingredients. Why do companies still use sodium lauryl sulfate in products when it can irritate skin? On my next purchase, I will look for another brand that uses vitamin C with Arbutin.

A must for skin care regimen

This is one of my go to skin care items. It’s good for evening out fair skin but not too harsh to cause irritation.

Love so far

Only had a week or so, but I can tell it's a good product. I love everything Obagi so I'm excited to hopefully see the Arbutin brighten some of my dark spots.

Great Serum

So far it's great. Hasn't caused any issues and seems to be working to brighten my skin. I switched from another Obagi C serum and like this one better.

Good for sensitive skin

This is great for sensitive skin. I like the added Arbutin. It has an oily texture. No break outs from this product.

OBAGI Clinical Vitamin C+ Arbutin Brightening Serum

I like it, not sure it is is really fading dark spots, however I am in the sun A LOT and my old ones are not getting worse! It also seems to be helping with my oily skin and firming.

Good C Serum

I have been using 20% Obagi Vitamin C for years but thought I would give this product a try. The dropper is a little different from the other Obagi C serums and does allow for better dosing of the serum. Similar to other C serums, I have noticed a little tingling sensation when first applying but my skin feels smooth after application, no stickiness. I've only been using for a couple of weeks so not sure if I will notice any changes in my skin from the addition of Arbutin. I think this would be a great C serum to incorporate into your routine, especially if you aren't currently using one. I will likely buy again.
