Review on Claire-ity 25% Vitamin C Serum: Ultimate Facial Anti-Aging Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E - Organic Topical Solution for Face, Neck & Décolleté by Michelle Armstrong

I've been using this serum for almost 2 years and I really like it and the results. What drew me to this product over a year and a half ago was the list of key ingredients, and there isn't much of an up-to-date list of active ingredients/key ingredients. It became transparent and my skin instantly became smooth and clean. However, I recently reordered and found the formula to be drastically different. The serum is very sticky and applies with an almost white sheen instead of a transparent finish as before. It immediately became so sticky and messy on my skin that I had to wash it off immediately. I looked at the front and noticed the New Improved Formula label. I compared the ingredients from the new bottle to the older bottle to the old ingredient list and found that the difference in ingredients is VERY different. For example, the first pair of ingredients on the packaging of the old recipe says "water, organic green tea extract, witch hazel leaf extract." Now the new label reads completely differently with names like Gylcerin Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C. The old label listed ascorbic acid as the ingredient "Vitamin C" on the old label) and other "ingredients" I can't pronounce. I want to return this item for a refund, but the item is listed as non-refundable on Amazon. I will not be using this "new improved" bottle as it is not similar or better than any product I have purchased in the past.
