2 Improvements Needed by Manufacturer
Obagi Medical: you have a great product, however two areas in need of improvement: Method of dispensing: Please change to a pump bottle format. This dropper situation is irritating and product escapes and ends up on the floor. Viscosity: Please thicken the viscosity of the fluid. Current formula is water-thin, difficult to spread, and absorbs instantly before user can spread it on skin.

not as great as I thought it would be
I'm in my early 50s with olive skin that is prone to hyperpigmentation. I had been using the other super popular brand with 15% vitamin C + E and Ferulic acid for over 10 years but thought this might be better because it has a higher percentage of vitamin C. However, I have not noticed any difference. It also makes my skin more dry that I have to use extra hyaluronic serum or extra creams. So, I think it's definitely for more oily skin types. I will go back to my old C serum.

Not sure
I've only been using for a couple of weeks & haven't seen a noticeable improvement yet. I'll at least finish the bottle & see if it's worth ordering again.

Don’t like the consistency at all
I’ve used the 15% Obagi Vitamin C for awhile and just switched to this more potent formula and the consistency is just not the same. Maybe it’s supposed to be this way? It’s definitely more of a liquid than a serum and doesn’t glide on well at all. I can myself having to go through this bottle a lot quicker since I have to use more than the recommended 5-7 drops since the product doesn’t glide like the other vitamin c I used.

No results yet
I bought this because it had a high percentage of vitamin C and I’m trying to fade dark spots on my face, chest, hands and legs. I’ve only been using for a couple of weeks and I haven’t noticed any change yet. I was surprised by the consistency…it’s almost oily but it does absorb. It has not caused any dryness.

Budget-friendly, But Not the Best Option
Obagi is the gold standard for many products, but I'm afraid this isn't the best I've used. It's very sticky on the skin and doesn't absorb well. My skin isn't looking good, either - blotchy, a little uneven. I tried it because it's so much less expensive than my usual ferulic acid serum, but I'll be finishing this Obagi serum and going back to the other one. Sometimes, the expensive choice is really the best.

Still undecided
I am on the fence. I have used too bottles, and have yet to see any improvements in my skin. Perhaps I need to use more bottles?

Meh
This seems to dry out my face, even though I have used a 30% with another brand. I have used a handful of very expensive Vitamin C serums and unfortunately I never see results. Not recommended.

Not right for my skin
I’m sure this is a good product but it’s very drying

Feels a little Sticky
After you apply it and it dries, it feels a little tacky. It’s fine as long as you don’t touch your face I just don’t like the feel when I touch my face. Unfortunately I spilled 3/4 of a container so I’ll only have a quarter of a container to figure out if I like it or not.

Slow to Work
I’m an African American with dark inner thighs and was told by my black dermatologist to use this. It’s been 9 months and I feel like I haven’t seen much of a difference. I’ve been very consistent. Still trying.

Serum
I would honestly like this better if it was thicker. Hard to apply and I will try a different serum next time. I am sure it is good for my skin, just don’t want to use a dropper full each time. I will keep looking for a different serum, but I hope this does help my skin.

The serum runs off my hands before I could get on my face! There some improvement in my forehead lines and pores around my nose appear (somewhat) smaller. Unfortunately, I did not any fading of my hyperpigmentation which was a big disappointment in the serum. I have had similar results from less expensive serums!

Honestly it wasn't my favorite
I used this for a month and didn't notice much difference. It didn't agree with my skin. It didn't make anything worse but it didn't improve anything either I was given this complementary for my honest review

It was fine
I love serums, so I was excited to try this product. After using it for two weeks, I saw no noticeable change in my skin. It felt like a basic serum would behave, and for the price, it's not feasible to purchase something that's just okay. I had no adverse effects while using this serum. I received this serum complimentary via Influenster for review.

Great Serum
I love the serum. The scent and texture are nice. However, the drop dispenser is defective. It keeps coming apart every time I try to apply it. It also doesn't seal properly which I'm afraid will degrade the vitamin c serum quickly.

Very powerful C serum
For me, this was too strong. Made my skin very red and irritated. So, if strength is what you are looking for, and your skin can handle it well, this would be great.

not for sensitive skin
Pros: I love the brightening effect of this one. The skin does look revived for a bit after a few applications. I like how it tingles - it's such a waking sensation for my face in the morning! Cons: For my oily sensitive skin it's not working too well. First, I cannot use any moisturizer on top of it as they recommend - it's becomes too much. It's greasy and even then I don't use anything on top of it, if about an hour my face is all glistening, feels tacky, sticky. Second, in a few days of daily application I break out. Not a fan!
