It does contain alcohol and fragrance.
I’m not thrilled with fragrance in skincare, but I can live with it.
And I don’t believe denatured alcohol is always bad. That’s just my opinion - your experience may vary :)
The first day I used it twice that day and had a little stinging. I was like huh? Weird. I checked the ingredients again and- light bulb. It contains vitamin c in the form of Ascorbyl Glucoside.
It’s a less potent form, so good for those who can be sensitive. But I still shouldn’t have been using 2x/day with my tretinoin and occasional BPO wash.
So morning use only now and I have noticed my skin looking more even toned!
No breakouts in sight, so that’s always a yay.
Ive noticed signifigant brightening effects and more even toned skin since using this. Its also just hydrating enough to add to my routine without being too heavy.
