Reviews

Great Product! Don't like the packaging.

"I love this Vitamin C Serum! It it is amazing and does wonders for my skin. 5/5 stars, no notes. However, I hate the packaging. It is heavy, hard to know when you are almost out and this morning I dropped it and because it is glass, it shattered and I lost most of it on the floor."

— Valerie H. (4/5)

Awful bottle with clumps every time you use it!

"The bottle that it comes in is awful. It's heavy and clunky for travel. It squirts out messy and every single time, you get the hard formed "chunk" or slimy booger out of it and you have to fish around and throw it away or it literally stays on your face! Disappointing! Fix this or I won't purchase again!"

— Jill (1/5)

Image MD restoring power-C serum

"Image MD restoring power-C serum did wonders with my age spots since I have been using this product. I use the serum daily in the morning after I wash my face and then us the daily prevention pure minerial tinted moisturizer SPF30 which I love and have been using for years. Thank you Image for all your great products and looking forward to trying new items coming up in your line of merchandise. Greta"

— Greta G. (5/5)

Good but container not made great

"Good product but when you pump it out it doesn’t come out on just 1 finger. . squirks everywhere. Could be put in a better container so it’s not wasted. ."

— Kristen V. (3/5)

Absolutely stunning product

"I absolutely love the IMAGE MD® Restoring Power-C serum! It has made my skin look brighter, smoother, and more refreshed. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly without feeling greasy, and after using it consistently, I’ve noticed a healthier glow and improved overall texture. A little goes a long way, making it a great addition to my skincare routine. If you’re looking for a vitamin C product that delivers visible results, I highly recommend giving this one a try!"

— Anupa S. (5/5)

Product Packaging Feedback

"I am writing to share feedback regarding the packaging of the MD Restoring Power-C Serum. I absolutely love the serum and have been very pleased with its performance. However, my only concern is with the new packaging. Since the bottle is not transparent, it is difficult to see how much product remains, which makes it challenging to know when to purchase a replacement. Aside from this issue, I am very satisfied with the product and will continue to use it. I hope you might consider this feedback for future packaging improvements. Thank you for your time and for creating such a great product."

Q&A

How is this for roscea skin and sensitive? Too strong?
This is a high-performance vitamin C and ferulic acid serum with the potency of 20% tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate to help restore, firm and brighten the skin
Is this product safe to use in pregnancy? I didn't see it on your list, but I love it and Id love to keep using it if I can!
Hello Bobbi we recommend our Ormedic Line during pregnancy. You would have to seek approval from your health care professional for use of the Discovery-size IMAGE MD® restoring power-C serum.
I use both the Vital C hydrating antioxidant ACE serum and the pure Hyaluronic serum. Can this one product replace those?
The MD Power C Serum is meant to be used as an all in one product. However, you may need added hydration if you are feeling that your skin becomes less hydrated. If you do need more hydration to the skin, we would recommend adding the Hyaluronic Acid back in to your regimen on an alternating schedule.
