This broke me out, which was disappointing after seeing so many good reviews. Not really sure why! I have combo acne prone skin. I switched to natrium vitamin c instead and really liked it

I love this product. I need to use it more frequently. I love how it feels when I apply it. It’s a red “oil”, but easily blends into the skin.

It definitely adds glow and brightness to my skin.

I have yet to come across a product similar to this by other brands.
