"This one's slightly different which is why it's on my list. It's got 13% ascorbic acid and that is the pure vitamin C derivative that works through everything, versus many other skincare brands will have ethylated ascorbic acid which really does the brightening. But 13% is within the effective concentration which is really great. So it helps to brighten, helps to defend against oxidative stress from the environment at the same time supporting collagen and improving radiance of your skin."
✓Yay
"[COSRX] vitamin C comes in 13% and 23%. [...] I don't understand why offline stores only carry the 23% because it can sting quite a bit. For beginners I recommend the 13%. I've seen positive reviews from skincare experts in Korea and globally about fading dark spots with consistent use. [...] The 13% has a lighter texture while the 23% feels richer and maybe too oily for some. Higher isn't always better, since more concentration can mean more irritation."
