What the gurus are saying

Potent yet remarkably gentle, this serum stands out among K-beauty actives for genuinely delivering visible results. It brightens skin tone, helps fade dark spots, and smooths texture even for those with sensitive skin, all without the irritation you'd typically expect from such concentrated vitamins A, C, and E. Gurus particularly praised its effectiveness on dark spots that appear after breakouts.

"It's called April Skin Vitamin ACE Brightening Serum. Never heard of it, know nothing about them. All I know is that if we talk pigment, she will bring people to show the spot before the picture and the spot. We've given this to a few people, it's great. I've given it to people of multiple melanin levels and just gotten really good feedback."

LAYERING RESPONSIBLY: How To Layer Serums Like A Medical Esthe

"This is a 20 Vitamin ACE Brightening Serum. It contains other ingredients as well and at 20 it is relatively potent but I find that this doesn't irritate the skin. This combination is especially good if your dark spots do come after breakouts. This ACE is super potent with vitamins A and C and E and it is meant to kind of brighten skin tone and smooth over the skin and really give you an antioxidant punch."

My 21 Favourite Skincare Discoveries Of 2021

"How did I not know about this brand before 2021? One of the most potent yet gentle K-beauty lines that I've ever met. I know CosRx has some really good exfoliating products, but I feel like most K beauty doesn't focus on exfoliation or on actives. Most K-beauty just doesn't have a ton of actives. They don't have potent stuff. But April Skin has launched like the first line that has major actives that I'm like wow. When I put these on my face, they work. This one is the vitamin A C and E brightening serum and this actually brightens up my face. This one has a beautiful yellow color. This is potent, gentle, effective, amazing K-beauty, cruelty-free, affordable. I love this. If you are someone who is getting older, you're looking for something that works under a sunscreen or if you do get little dark spots or even little wrinkles, this really helps to boost them up. And if you're more sensitive, this one doesn't cause a ton of irritation but it actually works."
