i didn't realize that i didn't have any other vitamin C in my stash. so i decided to hunt for new ones. the only one that i was interested in and finally became available was the azarine vitamin c and diamond one, but aside from that one, i didn't know what else to try. so i decided to stroll around sociolla and found out that i haven't tried bio beauty lab one so i decided to give this one a go. actually, i didn't try it when it was first launched because i have no luck with their products. so far, there's none of their products that i like. that's why i became reluctant to try their newer products. anyway, let's try this one since luckily, they have two sizes to offer, so i can buy the smaller size to try.
this is the translated description from their website: vitamin c serum with THD ascorbate that has 50x stronger ability to be absorbed by skin compared to other vitamin c in common. formulated with ferulic acid, hyaluronic acid and other quality ingredients that make the formula non-irritating so it can be used by all skin types.
benefits: brightening, firming, anti-aging, boosting collagen, sun safety, reduce dark spots, treats hyperpigmentation.
use after serum, after phyto power essence, for day/afternoon. don't forget to use sunscreen. for maximal result, use twice a day, morning and night with other bio beauty lab variants.

| the bottle |
the packaging: it comes in a white box with yellow/orange accent. the design is very clean just like other bio beauty lab products. there's description at the back and sides of the box. the bottle itself has the same design as the box. it's a glass bottle, painted opaque white to protect the bottle with white plastic cap. the cap covers the white pump head. there are two sizes, the smaller one is 15 ml, which i bought. the other one is 30 ml, but the bottle is much taller so it looks bigger than it is.

the scent: this one is clearly has that acidic scent that most vitamin c serums have. it's a bit strong when freshly pumped out of the bottle, but once i put it on my face, the scent is barely noticeable.

| the pump head |
the product: i was surprised to learn that this serum is liquid. it's a orangish liquid. since the pump head is short, i can't control the force so i have to be careful or i'll squirt the serum everywhere. i usually use one and a half pump for my whole face and neck. since it's liquid, it's easy to spread it around. i don't feel any tingling whatsoever.

| how it looks like on my hand |
the result: it's quick to be absorbed thanks to the liquid format. once it's absorbed, i can feel that it's moisturizing. considering that this is a liquid, i'm quite surprised to learn that it gives enough moisture in the day as i usually use vitamin c in the morning. as for the brightening effect, i can say that it works faster than other vitamin c serum that i've tried lately. i can see that my acne scars fade a bit faster compared to other vitamin c serum. however, it still takes a bit time to fade my dark spots.
overall, i'm quite surprised to learn that i like this. this works better than i expected. oh well, maybe because i have such a low expectation in the beginning. anyway, if you're looking a powerful vitamin c serum that's moisturizing, then you can try this one. price wise, it might be higher than the usual local brand serum, but it works. as for me, i might repurchase this one, but i can't say for sure since i don't like the smell. since this is a local brand, you can get it easily here.
