It was too harsh for my skin and it is oil based. My atopic skin flared up…
If you have sensitive skin, I would suggest testing it before and introducing it slowly (what I did). But if you have really reactive and sensitive skin like mine, you should probably find a water based vitamin C.

This is 94% solvent which can be quite irritating. The anhydrous texture is also annoying. But it works well when mixed with a moisturizer.
