I love this vitamin c, it's a great, cheap alternative to pricier ones like the ones from SkinCeuticals and Drunk Elephant. The only issue is that it can oxidise quickly, especially in hotter climates. I work around this by making sure I keep the serum bottle in the fridge and just decant whatever I might need each week and it worked well so far. Although the bottle I have on my nightstand oxidises a tiny bit (a pale yellow colour) the one in the fridge looks exactly as it did when I first opened it one month ago.
My face is extremely sensitive to alcohol (fatty alcohols included).This formula started working for me in less than a month. I use it in the morning after rinsing with water. Then I wait 15 minutes before applying a moisturizer. I started with using it every other day then every day. The texture of my skin is noticeably smoother and my PIH has already begun to fade. I definitely plan to repurchase this product. It's HG to me.
I've tried TO's Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%, SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic® with 15% L-ascorbic acid, and DIY Vitamin C serums. TO caused closed comedones, and DIY was a lot of work. I can't recall why I didn't like the SkinCeuticals formula but I didn't even finish the bottle. This is the only Vitamin C serum I've used that I absolutely love.
