ELMT Pure Vitamin C 20% Element Picky Review

I will preface this by saying that the product did not pass the patch test for me. It gave me rashes and a tingling sensation. I'm not sure if it was due to the high intensity of Vitamin C or any additional ingredients in particular but I broke out into borderline hives. 

I have tried serums with high amounts of vitamin C but haven't caused hive like reactions. I've gotten purging, sensitivity, but never this. So my review will strictly involve packaging, ingredients, and appeal.

I enjoy that elmt has continued to use the fern green glass packaging for their products as it adds an elegant minimalism to a bathroom shelf.

As for its application and texture, I wasn’t quite impressed. It has a really thick texture that did not suit my skin. It is a bit tacky and greasy right away. It seems from the reactions I was given and have seen, that this would be optimal for oily/ combo skin types primarily in the winter, and for dry skin types in the spring-fall.

As for the smell, it does have a very strong scent but it would be amazing for people who enjoy the sensory experiences associated with skincare routines.
