I love this product. I need to use it more frequently. I love how it feels when I apply it. It’s a red “oil”, but easily blends into the skin.
It definitely adds glow and brightness to my skin.
I have yet to come across a product similar to this by other brands.
i like this alot buti just have no idea what it does lmao. i use it for feet, hands and dry areas after a scrub. It softens and feels nice (smells a bit coppery) but i can do just as well without it so meh. :3 i dolike it tho!

I never noticed any of the expected results you would get from a vitamin C serum, which makes me think there is not a high enough concentration or stable enough ingredients to really be doing anything. This might work well for people who can only tolerate low doses of vit C.
A relatively moisturising serum which for the oiliest of skin types, you may even be able to forgo a moisturiser after Show more
