Ingredients Explained

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

Pretty good, only seen a little difference but that's cuz I can't stay consistent to save my life ☠️
Great budget SAP vitamin C with a solid supporting cast of TXA, licorice root extract, ceramides, & niacinamide.
I’ve been using for 6 months and haven’t had any issues. My hyperpigmentation has been fading, but I also use tretinoin cream
