It's Okay...
I purchased this based on the recommendation from Angie (Hot & Sassy) as this line is one of her favs. The packaging is bulky, so not travel friendly and the texture comes out watery BUT once you apply it, it feels very nice! It makes your skin feel soft (it's weird). It's not my favorite vitamin C as I don't think it leaves my skin glowy like others I've used, so I won't repurchase after this initial use. And I don't really see a difference in my skin like others I've tried.
