Enhanced Vitamin C Serum and Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid and Green & White Tea Extracts

i love this serum, i was on a skin regimen while using this serum then i ran out of it and stopped using for like 3 wks because i was travelling alot,my skin got dull and lost its brightness that was when i realized that this product was working and i had to order again now my skin looks bright and fresh again!

I love the soft fragrance of this lotion. I was worried that it would be overpowering, but it is definitely not. Once you rub it into your hands, they smell as if you have been handling an orange for a few minutes—that's it! Again, very subtle to the point that almost no one around you will notice. This also means that it won't interfere with any other fragrances you are wearing. I *really* appreciate this lotion not making me smell like I'm carrying a bundle of flowers. The lotion rubs on smooth and absorbs quickly. While I felt it coated my skin evenly and makes it feel soft, I wouldn't call it highly emollient or greasy at all. For me I found it to be the right amount of moisturizing without any residue left behind. Meaning, I can use some on my hands, rub it in and start using my laptop or phone very shortly thereafter without feeling like I am going to get them all greasy/smudged. You don't need much to work. An amount the size of pencil erasure works for my hands most days. On dry days about twice that, but rarely more. So this bottle should last a good while making the price worth it. I can't speak to the anti-wrinkle or collagen boosting since I have not been using it long enough to see those kinds of results, but I will say that my skin feels amazing after using it. I received a free sample of this product to evaluate and provide an unbiased review.

Muy suave y se absorbe muy bien

I use this skin cream all of the time.

I have dry skin. How dry? Well, I have psoriasis, and for those who don't know what that is, (mostly) in the cold months my skin turns to scales and I become a lizard. Living in Canada, that means my skin is desert dry for 9 out of 12 months. Even in the summer, it's dry. Side note: I drink 6L of water a day, which has made my skin soft if anything. Still dry. I was growing tired of dropping so much money on products, trying to get nice skin. Then I found this product. I was iffy, even with the reviews. I mean, everything else failed. First time applying this, I knew I found the one. I wish I could put a ring on it, because just wow. The box said it will tingle, but because I rub my psoriasis raw, it more like burned. In a good way. After a week, my skin looked and felt amazing. It's still dry, but the moisture lasts for hours. I apply it after washing my face, and I'm good all day. I stopped using it for a few days because of a cold, but my skin was still hydrated up until day 2. Back to using it everyday, my skin is perfect. At night I scrub my face, dry it, and then put a thick layer of this over my face. I rub it in a little, but mostly just leave it over night. In the morning, my skin is fresh and looks awake, unlike me. I never had a really big issue with acne, so I can't comment if it clogs pores. Mine look fine.

NOTE: I WAS NOT PAID TO REVIEW THIS PRODUCT NOR DID I RECIEVE IT FREE FROM THE COMPANY. I hate buying things on amazon lately because of how shady the reviews are. I've been duped so many times, relying on reviews and buying the product only to realize it's a piece of horse crap and I couldn't fathom how anyone was able to use it. This isn't one of those products. I'm actually not sure how many of the reviews here are real and unbiased but I purchased this almost a year ago after reading reviews (and not checking for honesty). The ingredients had me sold. First thing, size is tiny. But it has lasted me around 8 months. I'm at the bottom of the bottle now and I have to use the end of a spoon to scrape out what's left. Having this in a pump is great for lack of contamination but it's difficult because the serum is a bit thick to pump out when it's all the way at the bottom of the glass. And there's no way I'm going to throw it out or dilute it so I pretty much have to scrape. Pain in the ass but worth it. The smell, it's like a very strong citrus smell. Fresh oranges with a tiny dash of lemon. I can also tell it has quite a large amount of Vitamin C in it as my skin tingles (strongly might I add) and if I'm using it after I've used a retinol product the night before it can even sting a bit. But I have sensitive skin that is acne-prone and eczema-prone as well. The texture, it's very similar to cetaphil cream, not the lotion. It goes on smooth and it always leaves my face looking bright. Lastly, effectiveness. I bought this to help fade post-acne marks/hyperpigmentation. I have marks everywhere and a large dark strip on my forehead that isn't the same color as the rest of my skin. It definitely has softened my marks. They're still noticeable but definitely not as dark as before and that's with 8 months of use. I honestly thought they would have disappeared by now however, I've only been using this in the day time, before my moisturizer. So once a day use for 8 months will definitely get you results but it won't completely erase them. Another plus, it never once broke me out or caused acne. It doesn't leave my face dry or tight. In fact, I use this alone as a moisturizer in the summer and put sunscreen over it and my face didn't need any extra moisture. Now that it's winter, I do put a few drops of hemp seed oil over it. Overall, it works. It's a slow job though. I wish it had a thinner consistency for the pump so no product goes to waste or gets contaminated, I took off a star for that. Everything else is perfect. If the reviews are a sham, the product definitely isn't.

I broke out in a rash 4 days after starting to use this serum once or twice daily. I immediately stopped use, but the rash continued to get worse. My face became bright red and was covered in itchy bumps. A couple of days later, the whole top layer of skin on my face sloughed off in huge patches, but the redness and rash remained. Neither Benadryl cream nor OTC cortisone cream had any effect. To be absolutely sure that it was the Alina serum that caused the rash, after I stopped using it on my face I applied it to my left forearm. Sure enough, a rash developed there 4 days later, even though I used it only 2-3 times (I kept forgetting that I was running the test). My primary care physician diagnosed contact dermatitis and prescribed Medrol (an oral steroid). That helped with the itching and redness, but the rash has persisted. I've had the rash on my face for five weeks now, and on my forearm for four weeks. Every time I think it's getting better, the bumps get redder and swell up. I haven't been able to use any other moisturizer or sunscreen, because it aggravates the rash. The area covered by the rash has got bigger, now creeping up above the elbow. On my primary care physician's advice, I am seeing a dermatologist next week. I have previously tried both 20% vitamin C serums with hyaluronic acid (e.g., from OZ Naturals) and never had any problems with either ingredient. I'm allergic to Neosporin but even that reaction was nowhere near as bad as the rash this serum has caused -- it faded after just a few days. This is the first time I've ever had a rash that lasted so long and would not improve day by day. I'm resigned to the fact that I may now have "sensitive skin" and will need to test new products very carefully. But the severity of my reaction to this serum means that I will not try any more Alina products. I can't risk getting a rash that lasts over a month after just 2-3 applications of a product.
