I've tried about 5 different Vitamin C serums, and this one is by far my favorite. I've purchased it 3 times. (I started using it back when it was the dropper bottle)
My skin can tolerate higher Vit C percentages very well, so this feels like nothing on my skin. As if I was putting on water. I don't mind the ferulic acid smell (which is noticeably less now than it used to be!), because I think Show more
Too irritating for my sensitive skin but great product if you skin does tolerate it

As a redhead I’ve got some pretty reactive skin, but vitamin C is a must. I’ve tried vitamin C serums with regular ascorbic acid but they were too harsh and irritating, even using once a week. This serum contains a stabilized form of vitamin C that is so gentle I can use it daily without any problems. When I run out, I can immediately tell a difference! My skin loves this stuff. I hope they never Show more
This works really well for me. It feels like a bit sticky at first but it absorbs well. You only have to use a little bit otherwise it can be a bit drying; I have sensitive and eczema prone skin.
