Alastin C-Radical Defense Antioxidant Serum 43 ingredients
I have tried so many vitamin c serums and they all unfortunately broke me out and often stung my overly sensitive skin. I tried everyone's HG, the SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic which was by far the worst. I don't like a lot of Alastin products but this is the only vitamin c I've ever tried that works for me.
