lately i noticed that my skin reacts better to certain actives, so i decided to maintain those actives in my skincare routine. i can see that my skin doesn't react positively toward niacinamide, especially if it's the main ingredient, so i decided not to try any niacinamide serums anymore. that's why i only resorted to vitamin c serum for brightening and antioxidant. however, somehow after my last streaks of vitamin c serums, i sort of lost interest in them for awhile. that's why when i see nama c booster serum, i decided to give it a go. later i found out that nama beauty is owned by luna maya. i have to admit that i'm surprised to see a celebrity owned this brand. anyway, let's see how it goes.
this is the description from their website: c-booster face serum is a multi-function brightening and age-defying serum. its main ingredient is kakadu extract with 100x higher vitamin c to brighten the skin more efficiently and could work as an anti-aging. best part? the water-gel based texture can hydrate to the skin's deepest layer.

| ingredients list and the description on the box |
the packaging: it comes in white box with the brand name embossed at front. there's description at the back in both english and indonesian, as well as the ingredients list. the serum itself comes in frosted glass bottle that's completely see through so i can see the remaining product inside. it uses dropper to dispense the product and i don't have any problem with the dropper aside from the usual problem that it can't get everything until it's completely empty. the serum comes in 30 ml size which is the same size as other usual serum, but bigger than other local brand's serum.

the scent: this one is scentless and doesn't have any foul scent.

| how it looks like inside the dropper |
the product: it's a transparent gel type and it's quite viscous. but it's still easy to spread around. it melts once i spread it around but it takes a minute or two to be completely absorbed. it's quite interesting that to see that this serum comes in transparent bottle. but, until i finish it all, the serum is still in its original state, no oxidizing whatsoever.

the result: i have to say i can feel this one is moisturizing right of bat. not too heavy but just enough. there's a bit tacky feeling right afterward, but it layers well under and over other skincare products that i use. after using it for awhile, i notice that it evens out my skin tone and it looks brightened. not tone up my skin, but just brighten the complexion in general.
i have to say i'm hooked. but.. this doesn't contain any actives, so it might not give significant result. that's why i will go back to try other vitamin c serum. but this one is a good alternative if you just want to evens out and brighten up your whole complexion. and not treat any dark spots or other significant problem. price wise, considering the size, it's still affordable. however, it's not widely available everywhere, so if you see it, just grab it.
