(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 matter of using less than half of the standard amount. At that point it become more bearable to use and I did notice the effects. I wouldn't say it's the most convenient product to use for brightening compared to others.
