When we develop cosmetic products at Velvety, our standards are clear: they should not only convince in theory, but also deliver what they promise in real everyday life. That’s why our products are not only evaluated by external testing institutes, our quality management, and product development team, we also test them ourselves as a team.
Only this way can we authentically talk about how a product really feels, how it fits into a daily skincare routine, and what effects it shows in the long term.
In this Vitamin C Serum test, I, Ferenc from the marketing team, share my personal experiences with our Vitamin C Serum.
First impressions – my introduction to the world of serums
I want to be honest: I’m not a skincare expert. My routine has always been rather minimalistic and simple. I haven’t consciously worked with active ingredients, nor have I followed any elaborate routines.
That’s exactly why this Vitamin C serum test was especially exciting for me. I wanted to know whether I would even notice a difference as a “non-expert,” or if such products are only relevant for people with very detailed skincare routines.
Vitamin C is not a short-lived trend, but an active ingredient that has been well established in skincare for years. Its properties are well researched, especially in terms of radiance, a more even complexion, and antioxidant protection. Still, I kept wondering: do you really feel these effects in everyday life?
I was pleasantly surprised after the very first application. The serum has a light texture, absorbs quickly, and leaves a fresh, pleasant feeling on the skin. My complexion immediately looked more awake and vibrant. What stood out most was the instant glow effect: my skin appeared smoother, fresher, and more even.
This first impression motivated me to use the Vitamin C serum consistently, rather than just testing it briefly.
Vitamin C serum effects after a few days
After just a few days of daily use, I started to notice real changes. My skin looked more balanced, my face appeared less tired in the mornings, and overall I had the feeling that my skin looked “clearer.”
The initial glow didn’t fade—on the contrary, it became more natural and harmonious. It didn’t feel like a short-term effect, but rather like a real improvement in my skin’s condition.
This is when I understood why so many people talk about the effects of a Vitamin C serum: it’s not just about a quick result, but about continuous improvement.
My experiences after several weeks
After about two weeks of regular use, I could not only see the changes, but also feel them. My skin felt smoother, appeared firmer, and overall more balanced.
Minor redness faded, my complexion looked calmer, and I had this lasting fresh, healthy appearance. For me, this was the most important part of this Vitamin C serum test: the effects were not just visible in the short term, but noticeable in the long term.
It wasn’t a “wow-once-and-then-nothing-more” experience, but a real improvement in my skin’s appearance.
Why we test our products ourselves at Velvety
At Velvety, we don’t rely solely on laboratory data. Of course, external testing institutes, our quality management, and product development teams play a central role in evaluating our formulations.
But we also test our products ourselves.
During our coffee breaks, we talk about:
- Who noticed which effects?
- Which texture feels especially pleasant?
- How well does a product fit into everyday life?
These conversations help us immensely, as they connect technical development with real user experiences.
This Vitamin C serum test is the first post of its kind – in the coming weeks, more colleagues will share their personal experiences. With different skin types, routines, and expectations. That’s exactly what makes this series so honest.
Conclusion: Is a Vitamin C serum worth it?
For me: absolutely yes.
In the short term, it provides more freshness and a visible glow. In the long term, it improves the skin’s texture, making it look more even and healthier.
And I say that as someone who previously didn’t have an active-ingredient-based routine 😉
But for me, it’s not just about how my skin looks, it’s about how it feels. I feel more comfortable, fresher, and more confident.
And that’s exactly what good skincare should do.
