Hello all,
I purchased the Vivier 10% Vit C Serum in Sept last year--it's been opened and I've been using it once in a whie, but not constantly.
Would it still be considered usable or good? How long does a product like this stay effective after opening it?
Thanks! |

is the product in a pump or you actually open the lid and expose it to air and light?

Vivier tends to be quite stable, but that is a long time. What colour is the serum? If it's very dark orange or brownish then I wouldn't use it. |

The serum is fairly clear--almost transparent so does that mean it's still okay to use?
A ring around the bottle developed that is orange though... thanks again! |

I think it's fine, or at least I'd use it The ring around the bottle is the vit C that has been well and truly oxidised by now. |
