Review - Yumi Vitamin C Serum #YumiBeautiful

I have tried several beauty serums already in the past. Some are thick and concentrated, some are light but Yumi comes in the middle when it comes to consistency. I like this beauty serum for so many reasons:

It has gentle formulation but is very effective. If I am to compare it to the other brands I have tried, this does not sting at all.

It has 25% active Vit. C blend which helps brighten and lighten the skin tone.

It is also used for your neck and decolletage.

It has extracts from these superfruits:

• Pomegranate
• Green Tea
• Blackberry
• Cranberry
• Acai Berry
• Goji Berry
• Noni
• and Kale

It has soothing aloe vera so I don't feel any sting on my face.

It evens out the tone of my face. I don't use blush on anymore as my skin became a bit pinkish which is a positive glow!

The dryness of my skin has diminished.

It is light-weight and easily absorbed by the skin.

You can wear moisturizer and even foundation and makeup on top of it.

It has a nozzle rather than an eyedropper applicator.


This product is available from Amazon.


I give this product my thumbs up! It's lightweight in formulation but very effective!


I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

The Fruit with the Highest Antioxidant

It's not the blueberry but it's a berry too. It's the Acai fruit; an indigenous fruit of the Amazon rain forest which is also a berry but darker in color than the blueberry. The freeze-dried berry has more times the disease-arresting anthocyanins of red grapes. The good benefits of having this fruit are the following among others:

lowers bad cholesterol level
chock-full of Vitamins B
inhibits inflammation
fights off arthritis
boosts energy level
fights depression
supports weight loss
improves sound sleep
improves mental clarity/focus
strengthens your immune system
helps improve patients suffering from leukemia
