Final Verdict
As you can see from my Real before and after shots, the results are noticeable.
Before use, my skin had a lot of redness, looked dull, I noticed some breakout signs, my lips look dry and my UnderEye area is quite dark.
After using the Pixi Beauty +C Vit collection, skin is glowing, complexion looks better, less redness, less darkness around the eyes and pinky soft lips.
I wanted to show you Real pictures, no edits, because remember these results are from one use only.
Skin improvement needs a daily skin routine. If you are looking to help give your skin a glow, a smoother base for make-up application why not opt for this +C Vit range.
I am really impressed with this range and it did amazing on my sensitive skin.
I have combination skin and my dry patches were kept at bay without producing extra oil on my t-zone.
The Glow is beautiful and subtle enough to really brighten up your complexion.
