liking it
wanted to brighten my complexion during pregnancy when I notice more splotchyness, and I feel like I’ve already seen an impact after not quite two weeks of use, most days morning and night. It goes on easy and feels light and disappears completely so I feel no stickiness or anything. If I continue to notice an improvement in my skin I will definitely continue to use. vitamin c is the bees knees.
-
best vit c face product
i love the vit c product so good on dark spots
-
Niacinimide and Vitamin C in one
This is the multipurpose, clean serum I’ve been needing. It feels almost like an essence, it’s so refreshing. One pump covers my whole face and neck and it’s the perfect daytime serum. Goes beautifully right under my sunscreen and foundation. I’m so in love with this serum.
-
Love this serum
I would like to start off by saying this has no scent! I have another Vitamin C serum from another brand and it it is so fragrant. Follain Brightening Serum: Vitamin C Boost is the opposite. It doesnt feel like Im wearing anything on my face and it doesnt leave a sticky residue
-
Nice loved
I was very impressed, I have been using this product honestly for two weeks, it gave me more shine. The skin texture is very noticeable, it is bright, soft, it is a soft product that observes very easy that I loved that since I do not have to wait to see its benefits.
-
Already see a difference
I have been using this serum for a week and my complexion is already more even and my skin a lot smoother. Highly recommend.
-
Works great!
Works great! I saw some difference in evening out a few dark spots on my face. They are not completely gone but look lighter. Smells good too!
-
Made my face lighter
I am very picky and I love this. The pump is not the best but the product is great.
-
Follain Brightening Serum: Vitamin C Boost
I really enjoy the texture and scent of this serum. It is virtually scentless and it absorbs quickly into the skin. I’ve been using it for a week now and feel like it has been helping reduce the visibility of my pores. Although I haven’t seen any brightening effects yet, it’ll take more time to see if there will be any results. Overall, I think this is a great addition to my skincare routine.
-
Liquid Lightweight Vitamin C Brightening Serum
I loved the results after using Follain’s Brightening Serum Vitamin C Boost but the consistency was very much a watery liquid. A plus is that serum is clear so it’s less noticeable and easy to apply. I always look for cruelty free products so I was happy to see they are vegan, non toxic, non gmo and dermatologist tested. After using the product for a few weeks I did get great results for my face it felt more hydrated. The biggest downside was consistently so I would have like a more thicker type of serum. Due to that it seemed to only last 2 weeks with daily use.
-
Good under makeup
Light weight, watery consistency. Used typically in the mornings before my makeup. So far I haven’t seen changes in my skin but I also haven’t seen any negatives. Will continue using until I finish the bottle to see full results.
-
Truly amazimg
Helped fade my dark spots and brightened my skin. Highly recommend
-
Good for sensitive skin
I’ve been using this serum for a little over a week now, Believe it or not, I do notice my skin smoother and brighter. It felt good on my skin. It definitely helped with my acne blemish. When I first apply this, it is a bit sticky but didn’t bother me. I put my moisturizer over and it’s fine. I would say if you have sensitive skin like me, don’t start using this daily. Maybe like every other day and build up to it. Overall, I would continue using this and would recommend.
-
Love
I am in love with this serum! Where has it been?! I have been having an eczema break out and my skin was looking DULL just lifeless. I was initially a little nervous due to the condition my skin is in right now but I feel so happy with how this serum is working with my skin and I feel less inclined to wear a ton of makeup to cover the red patches. NY skin looks more even in texture and much more bright 🙂 now let’s talk about packaging!! Amazing I appreciate all the thought put in to it!
-
Great cream
This cream does its job! Leaves my skin so soft and smooth. Smells great too! I will definitely be using daily.
-
Incredible results!!
I suffered from acne in my early twenties and after it cleared up I was left with scars and blemishes. This brightening serum transformed my skin! After 3 months of use my blemishes are 90% gone! Follain, please don’t ever stop making this product! I’ll be purchasing it forever!
-
No Fragrance = good, sticky = bad
I like the lack of fragrance because it’s clean and fresh. It’s cool going on but feels rather sticky, so much that it feels like a mask that I want to wash off right away.
-
Sticky
I was not that big of a fan for the brightening serum. It made my face feel sticky and it had a burning feeling on my skin.
-
Definitely works
I have noticed significant brightening of post inflammatory red marks from acne scars. Been using about a week now. One thing I would say I didn’t care for but is veryyyy minor is the consistency, more of a liquidy serum. I prefer more of a gel like consistency for serums but again that’s personal preference.
-
Skin felt a bit dewy
This Brightening Serum is pretty decent. In my night time routine, it was good, but it’s not the best in the morning routine. It made my skin feel dewy and a tad bit sticky. It’s gentle in the skin. I did feel like my skin had somewhat of a glow after using it. It looked nourished. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave my skin oily. I just wasn’t too fond of the dewy texture on my skin. We’re all different and some may like the dewy look/feel.
-
Vitamin C Boost
Doesn’t smell the best. I have only used this product for a few days so I haven’t seen a difference yet. No break outs o far so good
-
Very good
I like this product a lot it is very liquidy it comes out like water. I haven’t used it long enough to see a significant difference but having vitamin C in my skin care routine is beneficial. I wouldn’t necessarily call it a serum because of its consistency but it works very well underneath make up because it is very thin and absorbs quickly.
-
Fantastic addition to my regimen!
It’s a little clammy and tacky to use in the morning, but I’m so glad I added this to my nighttime routine! My skin looked and felt better after just the first few applications.
-
Feels like nothing on the skin
I look for several things when choosing vitamin C products, and this serum checks off all of them. The packaging is opaque, which preserves the integrity and potency of the product. It doesn’t sting, which is important to me because I tend to use my products with derma rollers and Retin-A. It doesn’t really have a fragrance or any chemical smell to it which avoids irritation. It also has a great colorless water-gel-consistency, fully absorbs in seconds and doesn’t leave any sort of film on the skin, not greasy or oily and also not dry. It layers perfectly under my other products, and I will continue to use it on my combination 34 y/o skin.
-
Lightweight and works quickly
I love this lightweight serum; for some reason, I was expecting it to be thick in texture, but it is very light with a water-like consistency. It readily absorbs into the skin and gives the skin an instant glow as well. This is a fantastic, brightening booster.
-
Amazing
Its amazing .. Seriously the perfect lightweight serum! & Yes, I would recommend to a friend & family
-
The perfect serum doesn't exi....
Seriously the perfect, lightweight serum!!!

Great Serum
I’ve been looking for a new serum that was made from natural ingredients and included vitamin c and I’m so glad to have found exactly what I was looking for in a skincare serum.
-
Love it!!
Follain Brightening Serum- Vitamin C Boost has helped my skin so much. My skin looks brighter and healthier. I have a rosy glow to my cheeks now. I can see an improvement in my acne and my pores are less noticeable. I like that this serum has a pump top. It’s easier to use and get the right amount. I love this serum and will definitely purchase it again. I would are it to anyone who wants a brighter, healthier complexion.
-
Glowing skin!
I’m a big fan of having a Vitamin C booster in my skin routine. I see such a difference in my skin using this! My skin is glowy and my scars are diminished. It absorbs nicely into skin, and provides a nice foundation for makeup.
-
Follain Brightening Serum
Follain Brightening Serum Vitamin C Boost has been a game changer for my skin! With 1 pump all over my face and neck, it’s fast absorbing & silky feeling leaves my skin radiant and an evened skin tone.
-
Vitamin See!
I have ultra sensitive skin, and I have to be careful about which products I use on it. There are SO many different brightening serums out there, it can be almost dizzying. Follain Brightening Serum Vitamin C Boost is exactly what my dull, lackluster skin needed. It is a clean beauty product, cruelty free, and dermatologist recommended. After cleansing my skin, I just applied one pump all over my face and neck. I was really scared it would break my skin out. It did not! Instead, it gave my skin a glow that was not greasy or oily. It also was not sticky like some serums. The citrus scent was also a major mood booster! It is extremely gentle, and I patted it into my skin. My skin just soaked up the serum. I followed it up with moisturizer and SPF. I love the way it makes my skin just look better! It helps even out my skin tone, too. This is like sunshine in a serum! I’d recommend this to anyone who wants a little more glow in their life without all the fuss.

Refreshing moisturizer
The Follain Brightening Serum_ Vitamin C Boost is a great product! I have been using for about two weeks and I’ll tell you since I been using it has really made my face feel refreshed! It truly has brought some life back into it; it doesn’t have a dull look. I was feeling life my face was just losing moisture and elasticity but it’s really starting to make a difference….
-
Scent free treat for the skin
I have really enjoyed using this serum. I love that it is truly scent free. It is very thin and is easy to apply evenly. I am very happy with its performance and would recommend it to others.

I also appreciate the ethics of creating this formula. This serum delivers Brightening results without irritating your skin. I would definitely recommend this to everyone, especially people with sensitive skin. It’s a must try!!! Love this serum.
-
Follain Brightening Serum
Thanks to Bzzagent, I received Follain Brightening Serum, complimentary, in exchange for my honest review. This product is like an all-in-one or all-inclusive serum. Quickly absorbs into the skin, leaving no oily or greasy leftovers, very light, airy, and soothing to use. Lackluster, dull skin has NO chance after applying this product! Dramatically brightens skin from 5 fruit sources of Vitamin C, while significantly reducing the appearance of pigmentation, leaving an all around healthy and balanced skin microbiome!
-
You can't go wrong.
You can’t go wrong with this product. I have noticed that my dark marks have lighten up bad they are looking better. I am very impressed with this product and how quick it started working. And how good my skin looks.
-
Glowing skin!
Follain Brightening Serum Vitamin C Boost leave any face looking so bright! I love the texture this serum has and I love how it dispenses from its little bottle. So easy to use and works great. It leaves me glowing.
-
Like the product
While I am using the product until I finish it I never leave things halfway I thought it was a dropper when I saw it but it is a practical pump the liquid is transparent it makes me very liquid that others feel fresh on your face and it does not have much odor it is absorbed quickly It is not sticky I would prefer it to be a little more creamy thanks I received it for free to try
-
I love it
This product has a nice texture and non greasy feel. It also has a nice smell that is citrusy but not overwhelming. I’m really looking forward to long term results since I have hyperpigmentation. However, in just a weeks time, I feel like I already see a difference! I also really love that it has prebiotics that will improve the health of my skin overall.
-
Amazing serum!
I loved the way this serum made my skin feel. After just once use I noticed brightened skin, and the effects have continued the more I’ve used this product. I’ve tried a lot of vitamin c products, and so far this is my favorite one because it’s both gentle and effective!
-
HELLO BRIGHT SKIN!
Follain Brightening Serum has been a lifesaver after a week and a half of using it and I already notice an improvement in my skins overall appearance. I have brighter skin and I have noticed my pores are literally almost gone completely. There is natural fruit derived AHA’s inside of the ingredients which helps exfoliate the surface of your skin which I can assume is the reason my skin is soft and poreless! I will definitely be keeping this serum as apart of my skincare regimen from now on. Who wouldn’t when your skin looks this darn good? 😉

refreshed
I have been using this daily now for a week or more. I noticed that a little goes a long way when applying the serum. There is so much in the bottle that I know it will last for a long time. I love the soft sent and the smooth feel that comes with regular use.
-
Loved the smell
This brightening serum really worked. I liked this a lot. It was definitely a plus that it had a nice scent to it.
-
This brand needs more recognition!
I read about the brand and their ingredient guide is phenomenal! I was quite impressed of how detailed they are in their harmful ingredients guide. As far as the product goes it doesn’t sting or irritate my skin in spite of it being vitamin c compared to the suspension I’ve used which leaves my skin red and sensitive. I was expecting something thicker but it is very light and liquidy, it sinks right into the skin and absorbs pretty quickly like water. It is so gentle and refreshing, I’ve used it for more than a week and I already can tell the difference, my skin feels so soft, clear and supple. I think that along with sunscreen I can tell this will be a staple in my skincare routine.
-
Really Brightens
This is my first time trying skincare by Follain. I like this pump bottle and 1 pump dispenses the perfect amount for my face. It is a wet , clear texture that absorbs pretty fast. I apply this before my moisturizer for a smooth base before applying makeup. This really has brightened my skin tone after just a couple days use. I plan to keep using this because I like the results from the Vitamin C and Niacinamide. This does Not irritate my skin and is unscented. I also like that this is clean beauty and cruelty free! Highly recommend!
-
Great Product
I applied every morning before my normal face bream and it did a great job of brightening and and enhancing my skin. Absolutely love it and it will be a continued part of my morning facial care for sure!
-
Gentle Vegan & Cruelty Free Vitamin C Serum
I like it. Watery formulation so be careful with the pumps but it goes on easy and doesn’t dry tacky. I let it dry before adding my creams or moisturizer and it settles well underneath. I need to use longer to see deeper work on my hyperpigmentation but I do think my skin looks more healthier and radiant overall
-
Wonderful!
The Follain Brightening Serum helps my skin look brighter and have a beautiful glow to it! It also is so refreshing to use in the morning and at night!
-
Amazing For Dark Under Eyes and Lackluster Skin !!!
Wow! What a bright boost to dark under eyes and lackluster skin. Winter can really suck the radiance right out of you and it shows in your skin. Follain Brightening Serum Vitamin C Boost revives lifeless skin and gives it a mositure boost without being greasy or slimy. Can use day or night, and under makeup. Love, love, love. This one is going to be added to my regular skin routine.

Great formula

Follain Brightening Serum_ Vitamin C Boost
This serum can be used day or night. It has a citrusy scent and skin absorbs it easily. I use after cleaning my face. It’s vegan and cruelty free also. I definitely would recommend if your looking for a serum that hydrates without a sticky finish.
-
Brightening
I was pleasantly surprised with this serum! After using for about a week I noticed a noticable difference in my skin. It was no longer dull. I have a nice youthful glow to my skin now. Its definitely hydrated and has helped me to wear less makeup.
-
Lightweight and Absorbs Well!
I love that this serum is made with ingredients that I feel good about using on my skin. It absorbs well and has made some dark spots appear lighter after a couple weeks of consistent use. There is no artificial fragrance which is also awesome.
-
Love it!!!
The Follain Brightening Serum is so amazing! It is extremely lightweight and it absorbs into the skin almost immediately! It doesn’t have a noticeable fragrance but you definitely see the results, it leaves your skin feeling smooth and bright after a few uses. You just need to remember to use sunscreen to protect your skin in the daytime.
-
Silky smooth skin
I love serums and this one is on par with others that I use. Barely any scent which I enjoy. I like that it absorbs into your skin but also has a very moisturizing silky feeling effect. Very nice product with pretty packaging. Vitamin C products always take a while for me to see any brightening affect maybe that’s because I have medium skin tone not sure but I’ll keep using.
-
Clean & Refreshing Vitamin C Serum!
From the moment I started using it, Follain Brightening Serum Vitamin C Boost has been a wonderful addition to my skincare routine. I’m getting a bit older, near my mid-thirties, so now more than ever I highly invest my time and money into good skincare. This serum’s formula is watery, but goes on smooth and soaks immediately into my skin. I also appreciate using a mindful approach as the directions suggest, taking a couple of deep, slow breaths while gently rubbing it into the skin before moisturizing. There’s also no tackiness to this Vitamin C serum, and after applying to the face and neck, it makes my skin soft. Plus, it produces a soft glow and smooth-to-the-touch feel. While it’s meant to have a natural citrus scent, it’s so faint that it’s basically scentless to me. I’d never heard of Follain before, but now I’m intrigued with this clean skincare line! I received this complimentary and all thoughts are my own.
-
Love!
Vitamin C is a staple in my skincare routine and when I ran out of my last serum I decided to try Follain’s! This is super light, absorbs quickly, and like other reviewers have said, it’s not sticky. I experienced no irritation as someone with sensitive, acne-prone skin. My only critique is that I wish there was more transparency on the percentage of niacinamide in here. I use another product with the ingredient and asked customer service for specifics and was given a non-answer.
-
Nice product but sticky
I like this product and have found the results to be on-par with some of my other Vitamin C favorites. I love the addition of niacinamide too. My only complaint is that my skin feels a little bit sticky after application and I often have to wash my hands after using it. This happens regardless of whether my skin is damp or dry.
-
Game changer
I tend to have oily skin and wasn’t sure about using this serum because I’m always afraid of breakouts. I started off using only at night but quickly added it to my morning routine because it makes my skin so glowy without the greasiness. I’m very impressed with how well this serum works.
-
Effective for Sensitive Skin
As a life long acne sufferer with sensitive skin, I’ve come to be skeptical of a lot of products. This one amazed me. I noticed a decrease in the redness in my complexion within just a few days, and I wasn’t feeling any of the sensitivity I often do with new products. I’m excited to see what this can do in the long run.
-
Wonderful vitamin c serum!
Really love this lightweight serum, it doesn’t have a smell and I’ve been using it for the better part of a month once a day and have seen significant improvement in hyperpigmentation from acne scars. Leaves you with a glow, too!
-
A Bright New Look
What a boost to my day the new brightening serum has been. Before I tried it, I felt I had to apply makeup early in the day to look alive. However, with this serum, I find it leaves me with a fresh, clean look. To speed its absorption, I use the toning mist first. Now some days I find I go makeup free.
-
Not Sticky!
My issue with C serums in the past is that they left my skin feeling sticky before putting on moisturizer. This formula is NOT sticky at all and feels great on my skin. It’s been a week now after using it every day and I already feel like my skin is brighter. Very happy with this product. Great pricepoint, too.
