While it won't match the potency of clinical-strength L-ascorbic acid serums like SkinCeuticals, it's an excellent entry point for Vitamin C beginners or those maintaining their routine on a budget. The main drawbacks are the undisclosed Vitamin C percentage, presence of fragrance, and unsuitability for fungal acne sufferers.
