Vitamin C that stings, is that normal?

Recently I purchased Purito's vitamin C. Before this, I used the Klair's Vitamin Drop. No issues with that product. Loved it even. After two uses of Purito's Vitamin C, it stings at both times but goes away after applying other products. I've read reviews about it and people have mentioned the stinging. If the stinging goes away, is it okay to continue using the product? So far I have not experienced breakouts or irritation. Has anyone experienced stinging with other Vitamin C products? Would love to know your thoughts 😊

I m not using either this both brand of vitamin c but imo I don’t think it’s normal when a product stings. skincare products r not supposed to sting in order to let it works. u may observe ur skin for a few more days, but if it still stings, I would suggest u to discontinue using it but if u could tolerate then it’s fine too. the final decision is totally up to u 😊😊

Is it? Klairs feels warm and tingly on my face then it goes away. Other than stings does it do anything else? at least in Klairs, you can buffer it with serum or cream, maybe do the same with Purito? use it after a cream or serum or mix them in your hands. Perhaps less product buffering makes it sting the skin more.

I do feel warm using Klair's but it's not the kind that stings. So far it hasn't effected my skin. I use it after COSRX Snail Mucin, before moisturizer. I'll try that tho 😊

I definitely experienced this feeling of sting with the ordinary vitamin c suspension cream. And when I checked the details it told be that it might be to strong for my skin and I should stop using it.

you can continue using it if the stints goes away in seconds. as the Purito is much stronger than the klairs, your skin is kind of like in shock.
