If you’ve been using separate skin-soothing and vitamin C products, we found a skin care serum that can save you major money in the long-run — and even more today, as it’s currently on sale at 50% off, down from its regular floating price of $29.99. This Bliss Bright Idea serum combines vitamin C (known to improve hyperpigmentation and blemishes) with tri-peptides and collagen to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and give your face, as one reviewer says, “brighter, glowing skin.” Just massage over your face after cleansing and toning, and with consistent use, users say you’ll see results in no time.
Take it from another reviewer who started using this stuff for months: “I feel confident going out in public without a drop of makeup. I get compliments from people about my skin, which is pretty incredible all things considered!”
This 1-ounce bottle of skin-correcting product claims to be a brightness-booster that also improves your skin’s elasticity. After a morning and evening cleanse and toning, just dab some on your dry skin before moisturizing. (Of course, you’ll also have to follow it up with an SPF, especially when using vitamin C.)
So many users are digging this product, calling it everything from “very hydrating” to “truly amazing” and “the best vitamin C serum.” Reviewers also say that it smells clean and citrusy, aiding in that refreshing feel.

“The Bliss Bright Idea Vitamin C Serum is a game-changer! My skin has never looked so bright and clear, and I’ve been getting so many compliments lately. It feels lightweight, absorbs quickly, and delivers visible results. Highly recommend!” — Amanda Fenech
“This is an amazing product for effectively promoting collagen, it brightens, skin plump skin gives it that natural Hello, it’s Moisturizing, it is not really it goes on very even and drives fast. It has a skin tightening appear.” — Kimberly Frost
“I cannot say enough about the vitamin c option (orange bottle). I’m 48, have used sunscreen since I was 18, but still have lots of lines, sunspots, redness, and general blotchiness. I am a flower farmer and spend hours outside in the sun (with sun protection, but still), and I’ve never ever felt comfortable being seen in public without some kind of foundation to help even out my awful uneven skin tone and blotchiness. After three months of using this twice a day along with Neutrogena face sunscreen and retinol in the pm, I feel confident going out in public without a drop of makeup. I get compliments from people about my skin, which is pretty incredible all things considered! Having healthy skin is a huge thing, especially as you grow older, and it has improved my overall confidence so very much. Thank you, Bliss, because I give your little orange bottle all the credit. You’re light, absorb very quickly (under thirty seconds), aren’t sticky, have a slight refreshing fragrance that goes away as you dry, and are easy to layer under sunscreen and anything else. Now I’m off to try your retinol and maybe some other products. My only complaint is the dispenser tube inside the bottle needs to be longer because there’s still lots of product remaining and you need to work to get it out and not waste it.” — Mama to Four
“First of all, it smells amazing. It applies really smoothly and you only need about two pumps so a little goes a long way. It absorbs cleanly and doesn’t make my skin feel sticky. I use it twice a day as step two in my skin care routine and I swear my complexion has been ✨glowing✨! Highly, highly recommend. Give it a week or two to REALLY see the changes to your skin, it’s worth it.” — Gabbie K
“Smells great. Very hydrating. Leaves skin looking refreshed and polished. Didn’t break me out. Bliss has quality products. Would be nice if the bottle was a little lager. But other than that no complaints.” — kimberly
“I have used this product for a couple of months now. I apply before my moisturizer in the evening and morning. My skin definitely is glowing . I would recommend to anyone trying to refresh their skin for a brighter look.” — Crystal
