I'm orange...
When I first started using this I was like, “great, a vitamin C that doesn’t burn”. So I began using it frequently. Slowly, I noticed my skin was turning orange, but just on my face. Turns out this product was oxidizing ON MY SKIN. The serum itself was still pretty clear, so I wasn’t applying an old or bad product, but when exposed to oxygen while on my face it began to STAIN it as Show more

I'm torn with this product. It removed all of the redness from my papulopustular rosacea spots. I tried a lot centella products and for this purpose, it was best product EVER. It also gave me big juicy pimples ( probably because of sorbitan oleate?). Right now I'm using it after removing my cuticles because it removes redness around fingernail instantly :) Also pricey...
