Anua Green Lemon Vita C Blemish Serum

Effectiveness: One reviewer called it the “most effective vitamin C serum” they’ve tried, noting a fairer complexion and reduced pore appearance.  Others observed faster fading of acne marks compared to other serums.

Texture & Absorption: The serum has a non-greasy, lightweight texture that absorbs well, though some find it slightly sticky initially—especially when applied on damp skin. 

Scent: The citrusy, bitter lemon scent is a common point of discussion—some find it refreshing, while others describe it as “off-putting” or “rancid”, especially as the product oxidizes. 

Storage & Shelf Life: Due to its high vitamin C concentration, the serum oxidizes quickly and has a short shelf life of only 3 months after opening.  It is recommended to store it in the fridge to maintain potency and prevent discoloration. 

Skin Sensitivity: Despite its strength, many users with sensitive or acne-prone skin report no irritation, though one experienced redness when combined with peptides. 

Price & Value: Priced around $52 (USD) for 20ml, it’s considered expensive for a 3-month supply, leading some to hesitate on repurchasing despite strong results.
