Reviews
Love this product
"I love this product. Its smells and feels amazing. It easily applies to the skin and you can feel the tightening taking place. Using this daily as part of my routine, it compliments the hyaluronic ceramide mist and other products as I explore all the various treatments. This time I went for the larger bottle and glad I did."
— Andrew P. (5/5)
Noticeably firmer skin!
"Love this AM serum that leaves skin feeling firm and refreshed. I've been using this for a few years. I delayed in reordering after being out for a month. Definitely feeling the difference having this serum back in my regime."
— Elie (5/5)
Lightweight serum
"Lightweight which I like but I can’t ever get enough of the serum out through the dropper. I wish it was a pump instead. I haven’t noticed a major difference in my skin as far as it feeling firm with reduced wrinkles but my face does feel hydrated when I put it on. I guess I have to give it a little more time to see a more noticeable difference in skin texture."
— Lilly G. (5/5)
My Go-To Nightly Serum!
"I love how this serum glides across my skin effortlessly and absorbs without oily residue. A little goes a long way. No eye / skin irritation! I've been using this for years and love how it's improved my skin!"
— Ellie (5/5)
A staple in my skincare routine
"I’ve been using BioLumin-C Vitamin C Serum as part of my skincare routine for about a year now, and it has definitely become a staple for me. I originally started using it because I wanted something that would help support my skin as it ages, especially when it comes to firmness and fine lines. I really love the way this serum feels on my skin. It absorbs beautifully without feeling heavy, and I like knowing I’m adding that extra layer of protection to my daily routine. Over time, I feel like my skin has stayed firmer and my fine lines are less noticeable. At this stage in life, I’m all about finding products that help me fight the aging battle while still making my skin look and feel its best. Biolumin-C vitamin c serum has earned a permanent spot in my routine, and I continue to repurchase it because I’m genuinely happy with the results!"
— Stephanie D. (5/5)
Healthy glow like nothing else!
"Nothing gives my skin a healthy glow like this Vitamin C serum! I get compliments on my healthy complexion and I know it has come as a result of using this consistently as part of my morning skin care regimen! Very lightweight and non-greasy! I had to add the travel size to my travel kit because I never want to be without it!"
— Renae T. (5/5)

Fabulous!
"I absolutely LOVE this serum! It melts into the skin SO beautifully and leaves skin glowing! Non greasy and fast absorbing, and it does not pill once you add a bit of face make up."

Q&A
What is the percentage in your vitamin C products? I just purchased the day and night combo. My previous Vitamin C was 12%. I do not see it anywhere on your product description. Thank you
Hello Marion, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. All of the Biolumin-C products contain two highly stable and bioavailable forms of vitamin c. The percentage is proprietary to Dermalogica. Percentage is less important than how much vitamin c is delivered to the skin. All three Biolumin-C products contain advanced technology that delivers more Vitamin c into the skin – which means that more vitamin c is available to the cells to protect and defend the skin. Kind Regards, Willow Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
Hi, i currently use your face wash, then the rice powder daily microfoliant, and then moisturizer. I don't currently use toner. Do i need toner ? And is it okay to apply this serum after exfoliating, before moisturizer? if so, how long to wait in between?
Hello Hallie, Thank you for your question. Using a toner in your skincare routine is not essential, but it can be beneficial depending on your skin type and concerns. Toners enhance the absorption of serums and moisturizers. They can also target specific concerns, such as hydration, oil control, or soothing irritation. Yes, you may apply your serum after exfoliating and before your moisturizer. There’s no need to wait too long between steps—applying products while your skin is still slightly damp can improve absorption, help the product glide on more easily, and even reduce the amount needed. Please let us know if you have any other questions! We are here to help. Kindly, Sandra
Can you wear under makeup?
Hello Brenda, Thank you for your question. Yes, you can absolutely wear this under your makeup! To ensure the best results, we highly recommend applying a moisturizer and sunscreen first to hydrate and protect your skin. If desired, you can also apply a primer, such as the SkinPerfect Primer, to create a smooth base before your makeup application. This will help your makeup go on more evenly and last longer throughout the day. If you need any further assistance, feel free to contact us. We are happy to help. Kindly, Sandra
Hello! What is the difference between the biolumin-c vitamin c serum and the night vitamin c serum? Since you can use the biolumin-c both am and pm, I am wondering which one to purchase. Thank you!
