What the gurus are saying

Sincerely Miss Ash rates it highly; CYoung passed. CYoung: "It's okay, but I'm not going to repurchase it, I think their creams are better than this serum. It's just okay, nothing that special, and nobody on the team even mentioned it."

"One of my favorite vitamin C's as of late is the Dr. Althea. This has a vitamin C derivative but it also contains ascorbic acid, though it's further down in the ingredient list, almost towards the bottom. There's also trinexymic acid, niacinamide and alpha arbutin, and these additional ingredients help to brighten the skin, fade discoloration, post acne marks, improve dullness, but it also helps with texture as well. This is very gentle. It's hydrating. It has a beautiful texture where it doesn't leave the skin sticky or tacky. There is no smoky scent to this like you would get with ascorbic acid, there's absolutely no fragrance. This is Korean skincare and this has been my go-to as of late. I love using this in my morning routine paired up with other things."
