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. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

This is honestly the best vitamin c serum I've ever used. I have hormonal acne prone skin and this has actually helped with my breakouts and it's not sticky at all. I much prefer it to LAA serums which I've used in the past. Considering it also has phloretin in it the price is amazing. Highly recommend
