    She is the moment!

    Love this serum so much! My skin loves it just as much, it’s not harsh but does the good Lord’s work. It’s hydrating, leaves my skin feeling bouncy and moisturised.

    I love her!

    She is the prize!

    The best serum ever!

    It woks harder than Kris Jenner, hyperpigmentation fears this girly! It’s also not harsh on the skin, leaves your skin feeling bouncy and hydrated. Love her!

    Love it.

    This is the second Skin Republic serum I’ve tried and I’m glad to have found this brand. I used the Vitamin C 6% + Alpha Arbutin and I was happy with the product. A bright skin tone and faded hyperpigmentation. I decided to try this one too, same thing! I love love these two products and I can’t even decide which one I love the most. I am now trying the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc and I think I’m going to love it too. Thank you for formulating excellent products, SR! 👌🏽

    I LOVE IT!

    This serum is so light on my skin. Hydrating yet gentle on my skin. My darker hyper pigmentation areas are lightening and this makes me so happy. 10/10 recommend!
