One of the best introductory vitamin C products at this price
✅ Mildly faded some hyperpigmentation
✅ Watery texture makes it feel very lightweight on the skin
✅ Gives a temporary smooth, plump appearance after applying
✅ Seldom caused irritation (except for a slight burning a few times when it was on my eyelids)
✅ It's only $12.90 CAD at the time of this review
✅ Comes in a dark glass bottle to help reduce light exposure
L-ascorbic acid is better to use long term
❌ Slow-acting. Took 2 months to see any noticeable difference in my hyperpigmentation. It didn't seem to do anything from then on
❌ Ascorbyl glucoside is a water-based suspension meaning it runs a higher risk of oxidation compared to other vitamin C derivatives
❌ No other superstar ingredients in the formulation like vitamin F which works synergistically with vitamin C
❌ Less fussy products like The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% did a better job at fading hyperpigmentation for me
