I'm a bit of a vitamin C serum enthusiast, love the brightening benefits and the stable formula this combo of ingredients offers. This DERMAdoctor Kakadu C is formulated with 20% vitamin C (ethyl ascorbic acid), ferulic acid, and vitamin E. It's no secret these ingredients work well together, and similar serums from brands like SkinCeuticals, Paula's Choice, Drunk Elephant and Timeless are all-stars in my book. Here's the thing: This type of formula is potent, and that can be a double-edged sword. While it feels promising , a high percentage like 20% can be irritating for those with sensitive skin. If you're new to vitamin C, definitely start with a lower concentration to avoid any redness or discomfort. Another common thread with these powerful serums? They're not exactly known for being lightweight or having a delightful scent. They tend to be a bit sticky and have a slightly clinical smell. This one is no exception, but hey, sometimes a little trade-off is worth it for the results! The price point around £70 falls in line with other high-performance vitamin C options. On the plus side, DERMAdoctor gets points for being dermatologist-tested, fragrance-free, dye-free, and cruelty-free. My overall takeaway? This seems like a potent formula for those who can handle a higher dose of vitamin C. Just remember, skincare is all about knowing your skin! Do your research, understand your skin type, and ease into new products to avoid any surprises. You can't blame a product for not working magic if you don't use it according to your skin's needs.

I've been using a regular Vitamin C serum as part of my skincare routine for a while now so was really excited to try out the DERMAdoctor DERMAdoctor Kakadu C 20% Vitamin C Serum with Ferulic Acid & Vitamin E. The Serum arrives in cardboard box containing a 30ml glass bottle of the serum with a glass pipette dispenser. On opening the bottle the scent is very noticeable, it's quite strange and I'm assuming it's mainly from the Kakadu Plums although I might be wrong as I've never sniffed a Kakadu Plum before. It smells strangely like a burning citrus fruit and is very strong, it's still noticeable for a while after applying the serum. I started with the recommended application of 5 drops and immediately noticed that the Serum doesn't feel like it's being absorbed by my skin, it's more like it's sitting on the top of my skin. It may be supposed to do this but it's not something I've experienced with any other face serum before. I know that the "glass skin" look is trendy but it's not something that I'm personally going for so it felt very odd to have an incredibly shiny face. My skin was so sticky after applying the serum that I could actually press my fingers against my cheeks and hear the sound of them unsticking when I moved them away. Again, this could be part of what the product does but without any explanation that it "maybe forms some kind of protective barrier on your skin that will feel sticky for the next three hours", it's not a sensation that I enjoyed at all. I usually wear a tinted sunscreen on a daily basis and I found that it was almost impossible to apply my sunscreen after using the Serum as the sunscreen pilled and went streaky when it was on top of the Serum. Again, this is something that I've not experience with any other face serum that I've used and I don't feel the inclination to continue using a Serum if it affects my sunscreen. I also tested the Serum by attempting to apply a lightweight primer and some foundation over it and got the same result - a lot of pilling and very uneven looking foundation because it's adhering to the weirdly sticky Serum that's sitting on top of my skin and can't be blended properly. Maybe I have unrealistic expectations and maybe I don't know the true wonders of Kakadu Plums but I'm very unimpressed by a Serum that, when I ordered it on 29/05/2024 was over £70. Personally, this isn't a Serum that I'm going to be using in the future as I'm not a fan of the shiny, stickiness or the strange scent. I'm also not a fan of the extremely high price. Read more

This face serum comes in 30ml bottle inside a nicely presented decorated box. The serum itself is a yellow colour and has runny consistency to it, just like any serum and is very easy to apply to the face. Once applied to my face it absorbs instantly but makes my face feel really oily and sticky which isn’t a big issue as I am using a moisturiser over the top. But as a day serum it’s not really suitable for my skin as I look a bit shinny so think this product is better used on a night before bed. The serum doesn’t contain any SPF so when wearing it our side in hot weather I would recommend SPF over the top and it does have a slight odd smell to it. The serum does make my face feel smoother and look a bit brighter but to be honest I am not a fan of the scent and the overall feel of the product on my face. Unfortunately the product is a not me.

Ich habe das DERMAdoctor Kakadu C 20% Vitamin C Serum mit Ferulasäure und Vitamin E kostenlos über das Amazon Vine Programm testen ausprobiert. Die Textur ist sehr flüssig. Die kleinen Tropfen aus der Pipette laufen schnell im Gesicht runter. Nach kurzer Zeit lässt sich es sich danach mühelos mit meiner Tagescreme kombinieren. Ich habe sofort einen frischen, strahlenden Teint bemerkt, und meine Haut fühlt sich den ganzen Tag über hydratisiert an. Der Geruch ist ist gewöhnungsbedürftig, verfliegt aber sofort, daher stört es mich nicht. Es riecht herb süßlich. Ich kann das Serum empfehlen, da meine Mimikfältchen definitiv milder geworden sind. Ob es aber über 60 € Wert ist kann ich nicht sagen. Mir ist es definitiv zu teuer zum Nachkaufen. So viel Geld gebe ich persönlich nicht für ein Serum aus. Allerdings hält es locker ein halbes Jahr bei täglicher Anwendung. Read more

This vitamin C serum has been good to test out, it has worked well I would say but it does leave a slightly sticky feeling that I can't say that I enjoy too much. The scent however I do like quite a lot, and I don't tend to spend too much thinking about the scent of skin products but something about this one is just so nice to me. I tend to use this at night time rather than morning due to the sticky feeling it leaves me with (It does go away after a while though but I do not have the time to wait for that) Overall it seems to give me a brighter face and it does seem to have improved my skin a bit too. Quite happy with it minus the icky sticky feeling it leaves right after. Read more

The DERMAdoctor Kakadu C 20% Vitamin C Serum comes in a boxed glass bottle, the glass bottle giving it a more premium look and feel compared to a plastic tub or tube. It also comes with a pipette for easy dispensing. The serum contains Ferulic Acid and Vitamins C and E. It does have a very light odour to it which is hard to describe, maybe slightly oily. I find I only need a couple of drops of the serum and I apply it the mornings as the directions state. It absorbs really well into my skin and gives it a nice glow, but it does feel a little drying on me, so I follow with a moisturiser for best results. I really like how it leaves my skin looking. I don't have sensitive skin so this isn't something I personally need to consider when selecting skin care products. I do find however that it tingles slightly upon application, maybe due to the active ingredient. I would therefore suggest maybe trying to apply it to a small patch of skin on first use just to see, and then continue with the whole face if it feels OK. Results from beauty products vary widely from person to person and what works well for one may not work at all for another. It is a matter of trial and error to find what works best for each individual. My own personal experience of using the DERMAdoctor Kakadu C 20% Vitamin C Serumhas been positive so far. Read more

Das Serum macht einen natürlichen Eindruck und ist beim Auftragen sehr ergiebig. Man braucht lediglich wenige Tropfen, um sie auf der Haut aufzutragen, bevor man sie auf den Händen verrieben hat. Lediglich der Geruch ist ziemlich unangenehm, muss ich sagen. Ich kann den Geruch nicht ganz beschreiben, aber es riecht ziemlich tierisch nach Salami oder so 😂 Ich weiß nicht, ob das einfach nur an den natürlichen Inhaltsstoffen liegt und dass man das Produkt nicht mit unnötigem Parfüm oder Geruchsstoffen füllen wollte, Das ist jedenfalls eine Sache, die man in Kauf nehmen muss. Es soll ja aber nicht gut riechen, es soll funktionieren und die Haut nähren. Da hab ich überhaupt keine Zweifel. Schon direkt nach dem Auftragen merke ich, wie die Haut elastischer ist und ein Glanz- Effekt Zurückbleibt. Ich meine 20 Jahre jünger sehe ich jetzt damit nicht aus, Aber nach dem auftragen auf meine Krähenfüße habe ich das Gefühl, dass sie gepolstert sind und definitiv weniger Falten aufweisen.✅ Das ist für mich ein dicker Pluspunkt und zeigt, dass es definitiv unter die Haut geht. Man kann das Serum aber natürlich auch mit wenigen Tropfen in seine Tagescreme mischen und dann auftragen. Meine Haut geht es jedenfalls sehr gut und sie strahlt und hat auch keine Unreinheiten. Ich bin sehr zufrieden. ✅ Natürlich ist der Preis nicht ganz angenehm, aber ich sehe es eher als eine Investition an, da das Serum sehr ergiebig ist. Meine Poren hat das Serum übrigens nicht verkleinert ☝🏼 Read more
