Product Review: Professional-C Serum

Formula

This antioxidant-rich serum is designed to target multiple skin concerns, including dullness, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. The high percentage of vitamin C is intended to provide maximum antioxidant benefits and help protect the skin from environmental damage. Obagi is a well-respected skincare brand known for its dermatologist-developed products.

Effects

Users have reported a noticeable improvement in skin tone and texture, resulting in a more radiant and youthful appearance. The serum's antioxidant properties aim to protect the skin from free radicals, which can contribute to premature aging. However, due to the high , some users with sensitive skin may experience mild irritation initially.

Use

It is recommended to start with a patch test and gradually introduce the product into the skincare routine to minimize the risk of irritation. For most users, applying 4-5 drops to the face and neck in the morning after cleansing and before moisturizer and sunscreen is sufficient.

Scent

One downside reported by some users is the smell of the serum. The 20% L-ascorbic acid concentration contributes to a distinct, slightly metallic scent that may not be pleasant for everyone.

Price

At $114 it is the one of the priciest options among its competitors. While the quality of ingredients and Obagi's reputation for effective skincare products may justify the cost to some extent, the premium price makes this serum a considerable investment for most consumers.
