What the gurus are saying

This vitamin C serum doesn't deliver much for dark spots and pigmentation, with reviewers looking for brightening seeing minimal change. Those who saw modest benefits credited consistent application and used it alongside a dedicated body moisturizer, particularly if they have dry skin. At $62, it's pricey enough that reviewers want a discount to make it worth trying.

"For actual true skin care body care, I'll go with the body vitamin C, that's 62 dollars. This act body vitamin C formula product is great, extremely good benefits for the skin, but yeah, 62 dollars, if there's a discount I'm taking it."

"I tried the Necessaire Vitamin C formula to be honest I didn't find this super hydrating and I didn't have any change in the lightening and brightening of my body skin so this won't be a repurchase for me personally. I was trying to replicate the skin care of my face for the skincare of my body by trying to get a vitamin C formula in the body but I think this just isn't strong enough to take care of the pigment on my legs."

"I also tried Necessaire's vitamin C body formula, but I didn't really see that much of a difference in the dark spots on my skin of the body. So, I'm not quite sure this will be a repeat purchase for me."

"I've really been liking the results of this. I've been noticing some modest but promising improvement. The modest results are that's totally on me because I'm still building consistency with my body care routine. I could be applying this a lot more than I am. I'm using it like once or twice a week and I could be doing it a lot more and seeing faster results. I don't think it's really meant to be a replacement for your body lotion, especially if you have dry skin like I do, so in winter I definitely coat myself in another layer of moisturizer, a dedicated moisturizing cream for my body, just in case."
