Would repurchase, have repurchased.
Fantastic and effective vitamin c serum for acne prone skin. The 10% is more suited for reactive skin. I hate that it works so well for overall skin health. It made my skin just look more … balanced? And it also worked synergistically with azelaic acid to fade my dark spots.
Vitamin c brightener and antioxidants
