What the gurus are saying

The fragrance in this serum is the sticking point. Reviewers flag it as unusual and bothersome in a vitamin C formula, though they can't figure out why it's there. The product does stack five vitamin C derivatives for people who can't tolerate L-ascorbic acid, but gurus haven't seen meaningful brightening results, so it's best for very sensitive skin needing a gentler entry point.

"Last but not least, the one I wanted to love so much, the DRMTLGY Vitamin C5. It's got the five vitamin C versions in here, but it's got too much fragrance in here. If they took the fragrance out, this could be an awesome product I'd hands down recommend. If you're not sensitive to fragrance, it's great, but I am, so yeah, can't use it."

"Number one reason is it has perfume in it. I can't think of another product that actually has perfume in it from the dermatology. So, I'm not sure why they put perfume in here. It must be because it's masking a scent is the only reason I can think. But it does have five different vitamin C derivatives. If you can't tolerate eloscorbic acid and you don't mind a little bit of fragrance in your products, you might want to give this a try. But just for me personally, I can't really recommend a vitamin C formula that has fragrance in it. Just doesn't make sense to me personally."
