I was very skeptical about this product but once I tried this, my eczema on my forehead significantly reduced. Acne-prone and sensitive skin will EAT this up.
i thought it does nothing for my skin when i was using it occasionally, but than i ran out of my usual toner and wasn't able to buy for sometime, soi started using i'm from everyday twice, and damn, my purging i was having (from introducing new acid in my routine for my comedonal and hormonal acne) suppressed and then just stopped... i didn't had any bad breakouts since 2 months, i now understand Show more

Vitamin C Alternative
I am allergic to everything under the sun and I don't tolerate Vitamin C very well. This product is the only Vitamin C that hasn't made me break out. I plan to try more with the 3-0 Ethyl Ascorbic Acid version, but this is my go to in the meantime. I definitely don't have any chemical burns or sensitive reactions to this. It's my go to daily use for the summer!
Good for dullness
It didn't cause any irritation, redness, etc. Doesn't have a huge impact on dark spots or hyperpigmentation but brightens skin and makes your face look less dull.
