Caused a rash!
I'm going to keep writing my review of this to warn others and to make sure Ulta posts this - to those with sensitive skin- this is very irritating. And the kicker is that it didn't irritate my skin on day 1, 2 or 3 of using it. Around day 4, the skin on my face was rough, dry and bumpy. This is whe...

Better for sensitive skin
I have redness/ rosacea flareups, especially in the winter. I was trying to pinpoint the cause. I switched the normal vitamin c serum to vanicream vitamin c serum. For the last two days, I have only used this plus la roche posts cicaplast balm b5+ ad a barrier cream over top. I can see improvement in just two days. Before and after pic included

Is a good serum when you are tight on budget
I normally use this to resolve and keep up the effects while being in a tight budget season. Is good for sensitive skin. For thise saying they are not seeing results is because this formulation uses a more hydrating and sensitive skin friendly version of vitamin c. You can not THD with a stronger abacorbic acid formulation. I would still recommend it.
Not What I Hoped
I've used drunk elephant, naturium, timeless 20%, maelove glowmaker, and dr Brenner vitamin c serum. I found this version to cause redness and it also tasted like coconuts. If it didn't make my face so red (this happened with Timeless and drunk elephant too) I would love it but everytime I put it on I look sunburned.
Hydrating
I've only been using this for a few weeks, so I can't speak to its effectiveness completely (specifically if it has brightened my skin or not). But for my sensitive skin, I've had no issues with it. The serum feels hydrating and pairs well under makeup.
Not seeing results but still use
So been using this for 2 months. Absolutely no irritation and I have mature sensitive skin, however always haven't really seen any improvement. Will continue to use for the future benefit but hasn't smooth out my skin at all.Does feel great though, just wish it was stronger.
