Obagi Vitamin C serum 5%

Im a fan of Obagi products. Because Obagi products will defenitely give your skin a wonderful result. Kaya lang it's so expensive. I was waiting for a friend at Trinoma Mall, I decided na mag ikot muna sa Landmark. And there nakita ko na naka "Sale" ang mga Obagi products. Obagi has a stall inside Landmark Dept store House of Obagi near sa Cosmetics at Perfume section. Sa sobrang excited ko. Go! bili agad ako ng Vitamin C serum. Kasi problema ko that time ang aking puffy eyes and eyebags.

From P3200 original price its P2880 na lang.

So when Im finally home Im so excited to use my Obagi Vitamin C serum.  And right after I open the bottle.. Gusto kong umiyak. It looks like it was expiring product.. This is not the first time na bumili ako ng Vitamin C serum. So I know that the character of the serum must be a transparent clear white solution. Nagiging yellowish lang sya pag nag oxidize over time. Yung luma kong Vitamin C serum naging yellowish lang sya pagkaraan ng 1 month.. Pero yung nabili ko.. Yellow na talaga. Nakaka inis!!!

Isa pa, nang ginamit ko na yung product. parang wala man lang tingling sensation around my eyes. Wala man lang na nakalagay na expiring date sa box or sa bottle. Puwede ko naman ibalik ito sa Landmark. Pero inis na inis kasi ako at ayoko gumawa ng eksena dun.. So advise ko lang sa lahat ng mga tulad ko na napaka impulsive pag nakaka kita ng Sale.. Double check muna yung product. Imagine ang House of Obagi. Nagbebenta ng expiring. Puwede naman yun pero sana inform nila yung customer. Na kaya discounted yung product dahil malapit na ma expire. Pero hinding hindi ako bibili ng near expiring kasi this bottle can last up to few months dahil drops drops lang naman ang nako consume araw araw. Anyways may natutunan naman ako. :D
