This toner helped soothe and calm down my irritated rosacea flare ups! It’s also quite moisturising and I had smooth skin everywhere else.
The only downside is I got whiteheads along my forehead/near where the brow line is. I think it was fungal acne? I tested by removing this product from my routine a few nights and the whiteheads went away. Fermented ingredients are known to cause fungal acne Show more
It’s not bad but it’s not good. I’ve finished the bottle and hadn’t really seen any improvement in my skin when I was using it, but luckily it didn’t break me out.

*This is a review for both Vitamin C Serums* This vitamin C serum for sensitive skin is a good product but didn’t have a good experience with the boosting vitamin C serum. Was applying the orange vitamin C serum for just 2-3 days straight and suddenly I started getting acne on my chin, forehead , which I never got acne on those places. Did not feel no irritation while applying the vitamin C , but Show more
