(Tried Nov 2020) It's been a minute since I last used this product but I do remember that it took some time to find the best/ most efficient way to integrate this into my routine. Since it is a powder, another serum/moisturizer is required to dissolve it. Despite diluting it with another product, I felt that I could not get the irritation/stinging to be less potent. So it definitely became a Show more
Extremely versatile as you can control strength depending on what your skin feels like that day. Mixes well with the Ordinary’s resveratrol+ferulic acid serum. Also mixes well with CeraVe lotion for more soothing application.
