Did not work for me
I've been trying to find a good vitaminc c cream/serum to include in my routine and this was sadly not it.
I used for a few days and noticed a ton of new breakouts. This was the only new product I was using, so I stopped it and the breakouts stopped.
Product-wise, it feels nice on the skin, doesn't have a strong scent, and it absorbes really nice.
I like but don't love this serum. It feels nice on the skin, but I haven't noticed any big changes in the overall appearance of my skin with it.

It was too harsh for my skin and it is oil based. My atopic skin flared up…
If you have sensitive skin, I would suggest testing it before and introducing it slowly (what I did). But if you have really reactive and sensitive skin like mine, you should probably find a water based vitamin C.
