Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%

High concentration of pure ascorbic acid that is stable and won't cause oxidation issues. It comes in a squeeze tube to protect from both light and air. This formulation contains squalane so it does a bit oiky. This is a suspension NOT a solution which means that the ascorbic acid is in powder from suspended in a solution rather than dissolved in the solution. Therefore this product will fell gritty on application and can pull when layered. This is a higher concentration product so the results are pretty good! I don't use all over my face because I discovered I am very sensitive to Vitamin C so I just use as a spot treatment and now mostly use on eczema hyper pigmentation.

This product has a very oily and gritty texture since it is a suspension. It is quite hard to work with and doesn't layer well. It also has an unpleasant scent to it as well that is very hard to describe. I only use as spot treatment and noticed that after several uses I started to develop redness and swelling on all the areas I applied this product. Be very cautious of you have sensitive skin. In addition I feel like 23% is too high as anything above 20% has not shown better efficacy but carries a greater risk of irritation.
