the most cruel thing that anyone has done to me was give me a free sample of this product while its retail price is half of the cost of my weekly mortgage repayment 🫥
I really wanted to dislike this product but I cannot lie. I got as a free sample and it’s absolutely the best thing I’ve ever applied on my face. I noticed a difference after just one just. My skin was smoother, reduced my white comodones, and made my skin brighter. It’s amazing. But the price hurts :(

Great starter Vit C product. Would highly recommend for beginners as it's a derivative and not direct -> less irritation and interactions with other acids. Repurchased multiple times.
