As someone with sensitive, oily, acne-prone skin, this is one of my favorite serums in my collection. I use this one almost daily every morning, unless I have an active breakout or my skin feels sensitive. It is very gently exfoliating yet hydrating and perfect for daily use - it is still a very gentle serum. It is good for beginners to vitamin c - this was the first vitamin c serum I ever used Show more
Got a sample of this and it completely threw my skin off. Not sure if my skin is just sensitive to Vit C or if there’s another ingredient in here that did it, but my face instantly started doing the burn tingles I get when something irritates me.
