Oh my gosh. This product is genuinely so amazing. I was first introduced to it by an influencer thats very acne prone named brute choi and im SO glad i was influenced. Not only is it NOT COMEDOGENIC ANNND FUNGAL ACNE SAFE but also works wonders on the skin??? To be dead serious, i used this product with no expectations after trying the Axis-y dark spot serum because that one took a fat while to Show more

It’s not a bad vitamin c - it doesn’t smell bad or sting my sensitive skin. It does leave a weird texture on my face though, like I’ve applied an oil or something. Odd.

TL;DR: Safe for sensitive and acne-prone skin. Expensive, but lasts me a long time. Doesn't pill.

I tried the moisturizer first, then bought this, and I think I like this more. I use this on rotation with my prescription actives, and it doesn't seem to irritate my skin. It also didn't break me out, which is amazing, and goes on smooth. It doesn't pill with my other products, and I've had this Show more

When I bought their moisturizer (which became my HG), it came with a sample of this. I used it up and immediately liked it enough to invest in a full size (invest bc this brand isn't cheap:/). I'm suprised both their products are THIS good, whoever formulates this is a genius.

This doesn't break me out, clog my pores, irritate me, nothing. It's FA safe. It hydrates my skin and makes it GLOWY. Show more
