The Guru Index verdict
Approved
✓Approved · 71%What the gurus are saying
Gurus consistently praise the price point and accessibility for vitamin C newcomers, but texture and stability divide opinion sharply. The recurring complaint is oxidation: the serum darkens and loses potency within two to four months, requiring cool storage and frequent use. Several reviewers dislike the thick, grainy texture and feel it doesn't perform like thinner competitor serums. A smaller group values the lower 10% ascorbic acid concentration for sensitive skin, and some appreciate the added ceramides and soothing ingredients like licorice root, though concerns about oxidation causing darkening on skin of color surface as a serious caution.
