What the gurus are saying

The gurus found the formula potent and easy to spread, but split on whether it's worth the trade-offs. One expert praised the L-ascorbic acid and vitamin E stabilization for genuine brightening, though noted the fragrance makes it unsuitable for sensitive skin. However, another dermatologist cautioned that the brightening likely comes from exfoliating acids, not the vitamin C itself, and flagged the combination of fragrance plus exfoliation as risky for daily use, potentially damaging the skin barrier and triggering contact dermatitis. Those with sensitive skin may want to skip this one.

"You're getting the quick brightening which you would get with lactic acid or mandelic acid, it's not because of vitamin C effect. Plus this product has fragrance, so it's a bad idea to make an exfoliator with an irritant together. The skin will brighten because of exfoliation, but if you use this daily it may lead to skin barrier damage and the fragrance can lead to contact dermatitis. So for me, this is a no."

"The Foxtale Vitamin C Serum contains L-ascorbic acid, which is the most potent form of vitamin C. It also has vitamin E, which helps in stabilizing the formulation and also gives an added antioxidant benefit. It's a biphasic formulation, it spreads easily and does not feel sticky. What I like about this product is it's an effective potent formulation that helps in brightening the skin. What I didn't like about this product is it has fragrance, so I wish it was fragrance free, and also it will not suit sensitive skin type."
