Beauty fans are raving about a face serum that promises to leave skin flawless, firmer and glowing after one use.
The $55 Skin Brightening Vitamin C Serum from Australian cosmetics giant Mecca is packed with powerful ingredients such as ferulic acid, licorice root extract and vitamin E that work together to leave skin looking years younger.
The oil - which is designed to be applied to the face, neck and décolletage once daily - has received rave reviews from customers and Mecca's in-house experts alike.
'Just tried this product for the first time and absolutely love it,' one woman wrote.

'Feel as though it gives me an instant glow for my base and lasts all day. I find it super hydrating and non sticky.
'Can't wait to add this into my daily routine and see the lasting benefits.'
However it wasn't all positive.
While the serum is described as 'fragrance-free', one shopper said it had an unpleasant smell.
'I bought this and used it once, I'm sure with ongoing use it would serve its purpose, but honestly it smells like salami. Very off putting to have it on your face,' she said.
A product description on the brand's website warns users may notice a 'distinct scent', which is simply the result of mixing pure vitamin C with ferulic acid.
Mecca beauty writers insist the 'powerhouse' serum is the ideal addition to your everyday skincare routine, saying it is 'great skin in every drop'.

There's also lashings of licorice root extract - which has been linked to a reduction in pigmentation - and vitamin E, a wonder product that smooths, moisturises and protects skin from pollution, leaving complexions youthful and radiant.
Other ingredients include citric acid, a gentle exfoliant that cleans pores and evens skin tone, and aloe vera extract which calms irritation.
The serum, which is available online and in stores across Australia, should be patted onto skin before moisturiser and sunscreen each morning.
