As you know, I have sensitive, eczema, and rosacea-prone skin. My skin can tolerate vit c serums with low concentration, anything higher than 10% made my skin feel warm and my rosacea would surely flare up. What I like about YTTP’s new vit c serum is that it’s made with 15% Vitamin C Complex (Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, THD Ascorbate, and Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate) which makes it non-irritating. Ascorbic Acid is a very unstable ingredient, the next-generation formulations make it ultra-stable yet effective. I don’t have to worry about putting it in fridge all the time.
It’s perfect as a morning serum because of its caffeine-rich ingredients Yerba Mate and Guayusa help reduce puffiness. It has antioxidants such as Passion Fruit and Dragon Fruit to help fight free radicals. It also has squalane to lock-in moisture whilst boosting skin hydration.
The texture of this serum is silky and isn’t tacky. It glides on easily and gets absorb quickly. It doesn’t pill under sunscreen or makeup. You will see an instant plumping and brightening effect upon application. After 5 weeks of use, I noticed some improvements on my overall skin texture, I also recently had my skin tags removed and using this serum helped fade the hyperpigmentation faster than I expected.
It doesn’t have any added fragrance but it reminds me of a perfume that I had when I was a teenager, it’s citrusy and gingery at the same time. No funky smell compare to majority of vit c serums.
