My Review: I am always looking for a good Vitamin C Serum with Ascorbic Acid that doesn’t oxidize within a few weeks or irritate my skin. This comes in 3 small dark glass bottles that you can refrigerate, & the small size helps keep product fresh. It is a yellow toned milky serum, somewhat viscous, with a very powerful scent, which is a little off-putting. However, it does dissipate once the Vitamin C is absorbed into the skin. I’ve been using it on alternative nights (I use a Retinol or BHA when I don’t use this). It absorbs quickly & there is no tacky/sticky feeling once applied. The next morning, my skin looks brighter, and skin texture appears smoother. I have not experienced any irritation either, which has been the case in the past with other Ascorbic acid products, so it should work well for those with sensitive skin. I really like this product so far, although I do hate the smell.
Pros:
▪️Absorbs quickly with no stickiness
▪️Improves skin tone and skin texture
▪️Non-irritating
▪️Skin appears brighter after only a week
▪️Small dark glass bottles minimizes oxidation
