Nice Vitamin C product but others are better
I enjoy using Vitamin C as part of my routine. I like that this VItamin C because it does not irritate my skin. I like the dark bottle, but my sample size did not have a dropper and once opened it was exposed to the air. I am not sure if over time this lowers the effectiveness of the product. When I...

First impression was no, then changed to yes
I've been trying several Vit C products to find one I like. I will go through 2 bottles to give them a fair chance. After the first couple of days with this one, I put it on the "do not buy again" list. The reasons were, application is messy, you have to use so much product dumped into your hand to get enough coverage on your face and it seems waseful. Second, for me its sticky, even after a half hour. However, I'm almost done with this first bottle and I have to admit I actually have noticed a change in my skin. A few friends have even asked what I've done different. So, i am going to stuck with this one a few bottles more and see how it goes.
My skin hated it
I read a lot of reviews before buying and really wanted to love it, but it made my skin worse. I tried using it less often, I tried using it pm vs am - no dice. Even with religious sunscreen application, I had peeling, rough, dry skin and breakouts. If you have oily and sensitive skin like I do, this might not be for you

I was hoping this product will help me fade hyperpigmentation but I couldn't use it for more than a week because it broke me out. I thaught it was gonna be as good as the mineral 89 serum which I love but no.
Notice results quickly. No allergic reaction!
