Would anyone here be able to tell me why vitamin c irritates a lot of people? All the people I know tell me that its rough at the start, but that the results are well worth it! I don’t think it exfoliates, so that only adds to my confusion. When I started using my vitamin c serum (The Ordinary 8% ascorbic acid + 2% alpha arbutin) I noticed red blotchy spots in the area between my eyebrows started showing up. I don’t mind them too much, they’re just an annoyance. Hope someone can help :) thanks!

Vitamin C Irritation?

If you have oily skin, you might want to try something a little stronger than lactic acid. However, if you are new to AHA’s then this is a great place to start out eitherway.

Overall, this exfoliator checked all the boxes I wanted in a chemical exfoliant! It was very gentle, but still got the job done.

Some people would not be a huge fan of the tackiness this product leaves (goes away in about 5 minutes) but I personally don’t mind it too much. Lastly, some of the product dries onto the screw top and sort of crusts onto the jar.

Firstly, if you want a no nonsense way to integrate niacinamide into your routine, this is for sure the way to go! In the first month I had already noticed a reduction in the appearance of my pores and an overall smoother appearance.
