While the serum is advertised as unscented, some users may experience a strong odor.

The experts at Harvard Health recommend incorporating vitamin C into your morning skincare routine.
They suggested using the product as a gentle cleanser or “applying a few drops of a vitamin C serum to the face and neck.”
The professionals also advised following up the process with moisturizer and sunscreen.
Amazon shoppers shared their thoughts on the vitamin C serum in the review section.
Should you apply vitamin C to your skin?
Topical vitamin C has several benefits for skin including hydrating, reducing redness, and hyperpigmentation.
According to Healthline, it may also help to promote collagen production and reduce the appearance of sun damage.
Research shows that it is safe for most skin types but may cause irritation in concentrations above 20%.
Experts recommend doing a patch test on a small skin area and waiting 24 hours to see if there are side effects before applying it to your face.
Discontinue topical use of vitamin C if you experience rashes, redness, or hives.
One reviewer warned new buyers not to be put off by the unusual smell of the serum.
“It honestly does smell like tuna or cat food and I’m not sure what that is by looking at the ingredients but an old adage for beauty products is ‘If it smells bad, that means it works!'” they said.
“I was looking for a vitamin C oil instead of a serum and this has Vitamin E in it so it’s more moisturizing than a serum would be.
“Great price and great product. I like it much better than other vitamin Cs I have previously used, I would definitely recommend it!”
Another shopper said the smell wasn’t as off-putting as they had expected.
“When I read reviews about [the] scent smelling like wet cat food, I was so prepared for an uncomfortable experience,” they wrote.
“However, I’m pleasantly surprised that although there is a bit of smell, it’s not too bad and after a few minutes it’s all gone.
“The product works well too, my face is extra soft and supple now and I’ve been using it for a few weeks.”
