Hello..I just opened this product and it has a yellowish color with a slight odor...I read the reviews below and it seems it should be clear/odorless?

It should not be clear and odorless. The vitamin C creates the yellowish color and this product has a very distinct odor.

Hi. Mine has a lt brown tint w a slight odor. I used 3/4 of the bottle and its been fine. Love the product!

I found it has a slight scent. The info sheet did read that the product will change color slightly over time, but should not affect potency. However, the color you see upon arrival/opening could be an indicator that the product has been sitting around awhile, just a thought. But mine was clear and mildly scented upon arrival and has slightly yellowed over time.

The product is yellowish and gets more so after a while. Not to worry. It does smell but not on your skin. It is a really great product and so good for your skin.

Nope it does not have an odor. Maybe you can get a refund and send it back?

Mine is pure white. There was the very slightest smell, perhaps initially after 1st opening, but not pungent or anything to make me question the quality. This is with the larger size and I previously noticed one other comment about a smell with the larger size, whereas I purchased the smaller size before and absolutely no smell. I purchased this larger size because of the positive effect I've had with this product and I don't regret it at all. Good product.

The one I received did not have any odor. Maybe they have corrected the overall problem.

In reading the comments about the color, I am wondering how fresh this product is and perhaps that's why it's an off color? Particularly since it's so inexpensive?

It is supposed to be an amber/brown color (or at least it is from my doctor). However, I ordered 2 on line, one was the nice amber/brown color BUT the one I just opened this morning appears to have been diluted to a clear/yellowish color. The smell is also different and the top came off easily WITH the plastic still on the bottle. It is also supposed to come boxed IN a box with a paper insert. Don't think I will be ordering on-line again....

I would suspect there may be an issue with the unit you received, I have had no unusual odors from the one I got. It does get a little warm when used a lot, but no smells.

Mine had a little odor when arrived. I left it open for a few days then it's gone.

It is clear and will turn yellow when older - no expiry. I have been using mine even though it went a bit yellow realizing that there is some controversy on whether it should be thrown out - doesn't seem to have any negative affect

Hi, It has a smell like muskmelon maybe. Mine is fresh. It maybe normal for it. Best wishes.

I have not noticed any odor at all, good or bad.....I really like the product and have noticed a positive change to my skin since I've been using it.....about 3 months now.

There was a very slight odor the first it was used. I have been very satisfied with mine.

I don't recall it having a strong odor. If it had a smell at all it was very minimal. I'll check again this evening when I'm home and reply back for certain.

I've been using this stuff for quite a while & I was really put off by the color as well. It used to be so much darker. Mine did not have a bad smell ... it just seemed like they had diluted it. I contacted the company & they said that they have a new "processing system" but they assured me that they weren't diluting it. I don't know if I believe it because it doesn't seem to have the same effects that it had before. With that said, I am still using it.

I did not detect an odor while I used it. You may have some issues with that particular batch. Probably best to contact the supplier.

Mine seemed to smell fine - so I'm not sure what you're experiencing is normal for the manufacturer. I'd consider asking for an exchange to confirm it's not something off on that unit. Just my $0.02 :-)

Mine are also yellow! There is a smell, but it's not to strong. As long as you keep them enclosed and maybe put them in a cabinet, you'll be fine.
