What the gurus are saying

AliceintheRabbitHole and Cassandra Bankson are mixed; Dr Dray passed. Dr Dray: "This brand is just like overhyped, Glow Recipe, let's put fruit juice in everything. This is a $45 hydrating serum with a bunch of humectants, fragrance, fruity extracts, and a peptide I'm not sure what it does."

"This is the Guava Vitamin C Serum. I bought it, finished it, and enjoyed it, it had the same problem as the guava eye serum where it's a little hard to get the last bit of product out. But I moved on from it because this tranexamic acid ingredient doesn't quite have a body of literature behind it that you might think it has given how popular it is. I'd rather go with something tried and true like L ascorbic acid instead."

"The guava vitamin C one has no fragrance added, it's like a natural fragrance. That one can be a little intense though."

"This brand is just like overhyped, Glow Recipe, let's put fruit juice in everything. This is a $45 hydrating serum with a bunch of humectants, fragrance, fruity extracts, and a peptide I'm not sure what it does. It's $45 for a Guava Vitamin C Serum, and it has a variety of stabilized vitamin C derivatives, I'm not seeing actual ascorbic acid, probably because that's difficult to formulate and prone to degradation, so they use these derivatives which are not very well studied."
