Why fragrance?
Got a bumpy skin due this. The smell is great, but my skin doesn't like the fragrance in it. So a no for me.
did not work
i really wanted to like this product since i was looking to add vitamin c to my routine but unfortunately it broke me out and gave me irritation, my skin was itchy with small pumps all over specially on my cheeks area i guess it is because of the fragrance in it.
