What the gurus are saying

The gurus who tested it found the multi-form vitamin C blend solid, and noted it may suit those who don't tolerate straight L-ascorbic acid well. However, both flagged the fragrance as a real drawback. One found it too strong to use at all; the other felt it was light and didn't linger, but still preferred vitamin C without added scent. That means anyone sensitive to fragrance may want to patch-test first or skip it entirely, while those unbothered by scent could find it a good fit.

"The Dermatology Vitamin C5, it's got the five vitamin C versions in here but it's got too much fragrance in here. So if they took the fragrance out this could be an awesome product I'd hands down recommend. Or if you're not sensitive to fragrance it's great. But I am and yeah can't use it."

"Another reason I don't tend to reach for it is there are perfuming products in this or fragrance and I am not a fan of fragrance. This does not irritate my skin, some fragrances do, it's very light, it does dissipate so I don't feel like the fragrance is lingering or headache inducing, but it's not my favorite vitamin C by any means because of that. But it could be the exception if you know fragrance is such a personal choice. This could be your absolute favorite vitamin C if you can't tolerate L-ascorbic acid and you don't mind a touch of fragrance."
