Off putting smell..... [SEP] Let’s start with the good things.<br /><br />The packaging and bottle are incredible cute. I actually leave this bottle and the Eva St. Claire Retinol Cream on my vanity because of how aesthetically pleasing both are.<br /><br />I think the serum itself works pretty well. The consistency (shown in the second picture) is like a lotion or moisturizer. It does say apply it in the mornings, however since it is a vitamin c serum, I use it after washing my face at night. Then moisturize. I always use a vitamin c serum in my skin care routine and I have to say I’ve seen no changes in my skin since switching to this serum (and running out of my old one). So that being said, it does what it’s supposed to do.<br /><br />The bad. And the reason for 3 stars.<br /><br />The smell of this serum is incredibly off putting. I have a few different vitamin c serums and this one has a strong chemical smell to it.  Every time I use it, I mentally prepare to put what feels like an entire chemical plant on my face.
