Good for normal skin
Good product, but nothing exceptional. To be used as a light moisturiser (watery texture) if you have no special needs.
It's hydrating and made my skin smoother
Dear, Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop 52 ingredients
My acne leaves a lot of scars, and this stuff clears them up way faster than if I don't use it. It's also fairly priced compared to other Vitamin-C serums and the bottle lasts for a good amount of time.
Greasy and smelly.
