What is the color of this serum... is it clear or not? The bottle I received is NOT clear, and I want to know if it is good.

The bottle is brown but, the serum is clear. If the serum is tainted send it back.

The serum is not clear but cloudy. Mine have always been sort of white and clear, cloudy mixture.
1072458
The serum I ordered is turbid (slighty cloudy) not clear, but it is definitely not orange.

I ordered this serum a and it was a slight orange tinge in color if that helps you any.

The bottle I received is clear as water and I definitely am seeing improvement in my skin. The lines in my forehead or most definitely fainter and the lines going up from my lips are fading too. But I had read somewhere that combining pure hyaluronic acid serum is what makes it all work. As to the vitamin c serum not being clear I would definitely return it and insist on an exchange. Now the brand of vitamin c serum I got was Cosmedica and the hyaluronic acid serum as well. Just make sure you got that brand. But I sure wouldn't use it if it's colored in any way. Sounds like it might have gotten contaminated somewhere. The bottle I received is clear as water and I definitely am seeing improvement in my skin.

I questioned that also, the reply was no! It was suggested I buy the one with crystalline. Almost finished my first bottle, sometimes I see a lot more color. I'm not there yet, still optimistic though. Wish you all luck!

It's a top coat. It's clear.It's it a dark bottle to protect it from UV exposure (the vinylux colors also come in opaque bottles).

The serum is an orange tan color, but I don't recall mine ever having granules in it, and I've probably gone through 10 bottles over the years. Is it actually the serum or is dead skin coming up when you apply the serum?

The bottle states that its free from Artificial colors (among other things). HTH!

I love this product! I'm getting ready to order my second bottle.... I use moisturizer with sunscreen over the serum since the serum isn't a moisturizer, but it also depends on your skin type, mine is on the dryer side and I need the sunscreen also. Glad to hear you like it too!

What do you mean by clarifying? When you pour it out of the container it is opaque; however, on gray hair that you want to make bright and erase any yellow, it is absolutely perfect. I was using SHIMMER LIGHTS and liked it for years. This is a perfect replacement and I am quite pleased. Clarifying? Of my gray, yes.

As far as I can tell. The product does not have any discoloration and it came in the original packaging. I was/am satisfied. I buy all my SkinMedica products through Amazon and only once have I been weary and go figure, I don't remember the seller, but the product was the TNS Complex serum, not the eye repair :) Hope that helps!

It comes out of the bottle a light beige color. It is very sheer, it evens out skin tone. I'm a medium skin tone. But my sister has red hair and a very fair skin tone and she uses it too.

I keep the current bottle in dark cabinet. 3 bottles lasted 3 month without turning yellow (I bought 3-for-2 to save money). The last bottle remained clear when I opened. I use the serum daily and suggest you to complete all within 3 month.

The bottle shown in the picture was what I wanted because it is for blonde hair. However, the bottle that I got had red writing on it. I just did my keratin, Sunday 7-14 so I need to see how it will come out but I did my friends hair and it did not come out that good. It still smells the same so I don't think there is water in it. Hope that helps.

It does not state the amount on the bottle. Be careful with this, I have ordered it twice and each time crystals formed in the serum and it changed color. Dr. Song's company replaced it, but the same thing happened again. I'm sure there is no harm in using it that way, but the little crystals do scratch a bit. I've used the product but really see no change in my skin. It is cheap and you can try it. I hope this helps.

I didn't find it old or outdated...the expiration date is 7/2015. It is a serum so it's a clear solution that is slightly thick. I just add one drop of it to my Vit C serum/moisturizer. I use it morning and night and I love it! I have seen a big difference in my skin.

Hello Patricia, this serum is sealed and I believe it is authentic. I am basing this on my use of the product and the noticeable difference in my skin over the last couple of months. This product also comes in a glass bottle. I trust that better than plastic. I just placed an order for another bottle two days ago. I like this product over the many I have used in the past. Sorry for just responding. I don't check my Yahoo email account very often.

One responder indicated that this is a 'cream'. It is not. It's a clear serum. Absorbs quickly without residue.

yes it is. It is a clear, cool serum that feels good and is absorbed almost immediately. It takes about 30 seconds to be applied and absorbed.

The product must be old. I have ordered two bottles of the same Vitamin C Serum and it is clear and has a pleasant order. You should contact the seller and send it back.
