I’m absolutely no expert but I have it and like it. I prefer it to their vit c and ferulic, and to the drunk elephant vit c. To me it seems like a really good option for the money.

I've heard people have had really good results with it.

I bought it after splurging on and using up Skinceuticals Vit C and Ferulic (£150!!).

The GOW is nowhere near as good in my opinion, but then it's a fifth of the price. I find it gritty and drying, even with a really rich moisturiser on top. It does brighten my skin a bit, and more so than The Ordinary Vit C, which is hideous.

The Skinceuticals oil made my skin look amazing. I think I'll just save up again for it rather than keep trying dupes, which will cost as much in the long run. Sad

I agree that the vit c and ferulic isn’t very good from GOW and nowhere near as good as skinceuticals, which I love and used for years (when I used to have disposable income Hmm), but the GOW vitamin c serum is much better, so I would recommend that.

Oh that's good to know! Thank you!

I bought it and found that the design of the bottle was terrible and had stopped working within 2 weeks. Not sure how much good the product itself did either.
