Serum has small granules in it.
I really like this serum. However, this one has small granules in it. It doesn’t seem to affect how it goes on my face. But this is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 stars. My previous container of this same product did not have a grainy feel. I am wondering if formula has changed. And, I shake the bottle before using.

Very Pleasant
I found this product very pleasant to use. Smells great, feels good going on, non irritating and played well with others. But, I couldn't tell if it really did anything. I finished the bottle a couple of weeks ago and can't really say that my skin is missing it.

Good Vitamin C Serum
It's taken quite some time to see results, but they do come. This Serum seems to become grainy, even though it's new. I haven't noticed any significant signs of firming, but do see an overall clarity and glow. I was initially attracted to Jan Marini's product line because of the DMAE, which significantly firms. I will continue to use 2 times a day and then decide if I want to continue.

SO FAR I AM IMPRESSED
Have only used serum for a couple weeks, so far so good. I see my skin texture becoming very refined and soft looking. I do think that my dark spots are starting to lighten, skin looking much more even in appearance. Hoping the improvement continues, will be a happy repeat customer.

Too soon to tell
Just received but based on product recommendations I am looking forward to trying this. I have used other LS Vit C products before over the years but wanted to try something new. Reading the product info. I liked that many products in this line are specifically for Mature Skin.

C-Esta Serum
Have used Jan Marini products for years so I finally decided to try her vitamin c serum. Like the texture, applies easily and covers well. Only been using about a month so no drastic changes yet, but I’ll continue to use. In combination with her other products my skin feels very soft to the touch. Love Jan Marini!

Lovely Vitamin C serum
I have tried several different vitamin C serums. I know this step is a necessity for my face. This is my first time using C-Esta. I love the texture and smell. It is easy to dispense. So many times I have tipped over the bottle and spilled serums. And wow they are expensive when that happens. It is silky and a little goes a long way. The staff at my plastic surgeon's office gave their blessing that it was a good product to be using. I appreciate this since there are so many out there to choose.

Jan Marini C-Esta Serum
I decided to try this serum because it has DMAE in its ingredients. I try to use products with DMAE and Vitamin C-ester. The first 2 weeks of using this my face broke out a little bit and then it got used to it. I stopped using my C+E+ferulic acid serum when I started using this serum. After a couple of weeks, I felt that I needed to add it back into my new regime with the C-Esta Serum. Now, I just add a drop of the CE Ferulic to the C-Esta Serum and that works for me. Since doing this, my skin tone has improved. I gave it 4 stars because I do not think it is strong enough for me as it is and it is pricey. I buy it on sale.

So far so good
I recently switched to this from SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic as I was looking for a cheaper alternative. Smells amazing, soaks in and is lightweight. No complaints so far.

Love it
I love this stuff. The C- Esta along with the bio-clear lotion and Bioglycolic cleanser go along way in keeping my skin hydrated and looking clear. I only give 4 stars because I think the price is too steep and notice that Jan Marini raises prices a few dollars each year on all products. At least purchasing from LovelySkin usually gives me the best price and speed shipping. So I'm thankful for that.

seems to work fine, but not a fan of the smell
The serum seems to be effective, and no better or worse than SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic which is my usual product, but I find the odor to be a bit offensive. It wears off quickly, so I am only dinging the review one star.

The verdict is still out
I purchased this bottle after receiving it as a sample in one of my orders. I didn’t realize how much I liked it until I ran out of my sample. I loved it the way it made my skin look. I felt like it made my face appear more flawless before putting on my moisturizer. I didn’t realize how pricey it was though until I went to purchase it. Although I do love this product, I don’t know that I will buy it again just because of the price. I will have to see how I feel again after using it more consistently.

I love this serum!
I know that Jan Marini products are top-of-the-line in terms of research and skin care. And I personally love this Vitamin C serum. It's light but effective, and I use a serum like this for the long-term benefits, not how it makes my skin appear immediately. Even so, I love the way it feels (and smells! it might not be for some tastes, yet I find it a lovely fragrance that dissipates so it's not very noticeable). It seems to be hydrating, yet not to make my T-zone oily. I like it very much!

LOVELY
This is a lovely product and is quite gentle and effective. Love how my skin looks and feels. I also use as a primer sometimes because it leaves a smooth, satiny finish. One bottle lasts quite awhile.

Jan's C-Esta
This stuff has really evened out my skin's overall texture. My face is smoother and fine lines are less apparent. I did find it a bit drying at first, but now I just follow up with a moisturizing sunscreen (usually Jan's) and my skin feels great.
