when the marvel serums came out, there wasn't this variant yet. but they added three more to the lines, so there are two vitamin c serums now. one is regular vitamin c serum, and the other one has added diamond booster. however, around the same time, somethinc had released their diamond glow serum, so by the time this one hit the market, it wasn't new or unique anymore. but since i have a good experience with their original vitamin c and not so good experience with somethinc diamond booster serum, so i'm curious whether i will like this one or not.
this is the translated description from sociolla (can't see the description from their website because it might be sold out at the moment so there's no trace about this product in their official website): a serum with 10% vitamin c (ascorbyl glucoside) to brighten, reduce hyperpigmentation and prevent early aging. diamond ingredients will make face look flowing as well as moisturizing, and guaiazulene will reduce redness on the skin.
the packaging: since this one is included in the marvel collab series, the box comes with at least a figure of something related to marvel. this one is dark blue and black and has a picture of venom at front. you can read descriptions and ingredients list on the sides and back of the box. the serum itself comes in a similar dark blue glass bottle with white pump head. you have to turn the pump head to dispense the product. however, there's no sign whatever so you really need to make sure you've already closed the pump, or else, you will waste it by accidentally pressing it while it's opened. anyway, the bottle is similar to somethinc ones, so it only comes in 20 ml, while usually normal serum comes in 30 ml.

the scent: this one doesn't have any scent, but it doesn't smell acidic like the usual vit c serum.

the product: the serum is dusty blue! just like somethinc diamond one. only this one is a tad darker? anyway, the consistency is similar as well. it's a gel type serum that's quite viscous. it doesn't melt easily. but it's easy to spread around.

the result: it takes a minute to be absorbed and it leaves quite a glow. however, it's quite lightweight so i can keep using it in the morning. the only difference is, somehow my skin likes this one better than somethinc one. i don't get random breakouts when i use this serum. i also notice that my stubborn acne scars starts to fade a little bit faster than usual.

i can see why people talks about this serum a lot. so far, i quite like this serum. i think it'll be suitable for all skin types. as for me, honestly i can't pick which one is better, the regular vit c or the diamond added one. both works well, but the diamond one is slightly thicker. just try them to find out which one you like better. both are affordable and easy to get so just buy both and try them. as for me, i'll put this in my repurchase list along with the original vit c serum.
