I have a love/hate relationship with face serums. I love the idea of them but hate the way they make my skin feel when they are greasy or oily. I've been using this serum for a couple days now and haven't broken out yet and love that this doesn't feel oily or like its clogging my pores. I haven't noticed much improvement in brightening or dark spot reduction which is what I wanted it for, but its only been a couple days. Usually, I have to give up on serums by this time though because of the oiliness but so far, I am really liking this one! Recommend

I’ve been using this Glowing Essence serum with Vitamin C for a few weeks, and I love it! My skin looks brighter and glowing. 

I’ve tried several Vitamin C products, but this one stands out. It gives my skin an immediate brightness boost and keeps it looking fresh and radiant all day.

GO BEAUTY, GLOWING ESSENCE, Daily Brightening SerumI know this serum should be used in together with the other 2 in this routine but just this one serum contains everything I really want and need to help my skin with discoloration and dryness. I couldn't have designed a better serum myself. Besides Vitamins C, A, Peptides, Copper, and Niacinimide there are also some really trendy and new ingredients like mushroom extract and portulaca extract. Used together they help repair and brighten the skin. It is really hydrating and I didn't have any issues with irritation. I am using this once a day at night but then you can use this twice a day.This is made in Korea and the pretty clear glass bottle should be stored in a cardboard cylinder to protect the ingredients. It has a built-in dropper and contains one ounce. About 1/2 dropperful covered my face. It expires in 9.25 but should be used within 12 months of opening - I would use this within 6 months because of the vitamin c though.#alcohol-freeKey IngredientsAnti-acne: Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, NiacinamideAntioxidant: Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Copper Tripeptide-1Cell-communicating ingredient: Niacinamide, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Hexapeptide- 9, AdenosineSkin brightening: NiacinamideSkin-identical ingredient: GlycerinSoothing: Allantoin, Panthenol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Copper Tripeptide-1ALL INGREDIENTS BY FUNCTIONBuffering: TriethanolamineChelating: Disodium EDTAColorant: Tartrazine, Sunset YellowEmollient: Hydrolyzed CollagenEmulsifying: PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor OilMoisturizer/humectant: Glycerin, Propanediol, Tremella Fuciformis (Mushroom) Extract, Butylene Glycol, Niacinamide, Panthenol, Betaine, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8Perfuming: Fragrance, LimonenePreservative: EthylhexylglycerinSolvent: Water, Propanediol, Butylene Glycol, 1,2- Hexanediol, LimoneneSurfactant/cleansing: PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor OilViscosity controlling: CarbomerIngredientsWater, Glycerin, Propanediol, Tremella Fuciformis (Mushroom) Extract, Butylene Glycol, 1,2- Hexanediol, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Niacinamide, Allantoin, Panthenol, Betaine, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Hexapeptide- 9, Nonapeptide-7, Adenosine, Carbomer, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Fragrance, Limonene, Triethanolamine, Disodium EDTA, Tartrazine, Sunset Yellow

This Glowing Essence has a consistency of a thicker oil but does not feel greasy and it gets absorbed quickly into the skin. Has a light scent and goes on easy. I didn't have any allergic reaction to it but I also didn't use it long enough to see any changes in my skin tone yet. In my honest opinion, I think the price is too high.
