Ingredients Side-by-side
Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Adenosine has many benefits when used. These benefits include hydrating the skin, smoothing skin, and reducing wrinkles. Once applied, adenosine increases collagen production. It also helps with improving firmness and tissue repair.
Studies have found adenosine may also help with wound healing.
In skincare products, Adenosine is usually derived from yeast.
Learn more about AdenosineTromethamine is an aliphatic compound. An aliphatic compound is an organic compound with open-chained carbon atoms. It is synthetically created. Tromethamine is used to balance pH and improve texture.
As an emulsifier, Tromethamine prevents oil and water ingredients from separating. This helps stabilize the product and elongate a product's shelf life. Tromethamine also makes a product thicker.
Tromethamine helps balance the pH level of a product. Normal pH level of skin is slightly acidic (~4.75-5.5). The acidity of our skin is maintained by our glands and skin biome. Being slightly acidic allows our skin to create an "acid mantle". This acid mantle is a thin barrier that protects our skin from bacteria and contaminants.
Oral Tromethanmine is an anti-inflammatory drug but plays the role of masking, adding fragrance, and/or balancing pH in skincare.

it's okay. I wouldn't repurchase due to the bottle being pretty small and the price. Didn't use the product long enough to experience any changes...

No irritation, no weird smell
I switched from Cosrx's Vitamin C 23 serum to this. I prefer this to Cosrx. It has no smell, no irritation and gentle to my skin. If you are a fan of Cosrx Vitamin C serum (but loathe the smell), you may want to try this too.

I've reintroduced this powerful vitamin C serum back into my routine because my hyperpigmentation has re-emerged. After only a few weeks of use, the dark spots and uneven skin tone have already faded and are much less visible.
Gradually increasing the vitamin C concentration in my routine, I've tried various other serums before - this one is the most effective so far. I'm not sure if I should explore higher concentrations, such as 30%, due to the risk of irritation, which may also be a concern with this one at 23%. So be mindful when introducing this highly potent serum. Isntree recommends using it only once every 3-4 days, and only at night.
The product oxidizes quickly and should be used within two months of opening. Tip: store it in a cool place, such as a refrigerator. It even makes a sizzling or gas tinkling sound when opened, reminding me of a mini bottle of champagne! The fluid has a clear, light consistency with a golden yellow shade. It absorbs very quickly, is not sticky, and is scentless. Plus, it’s cruelty-free.
