    "It does take some time to soak in so if you're using it in your morning routine keep that in mind. I use it this morning in my routine and I really like it. If you're going to use it with other products this does contain copper peptides so when I use this in my morning routine I typically apply it with a vitamin C derivative product instead of a sorbic acid like the one I'm really liking is the Good Molecules Vitamin C Serum with Oryzanol, very nice."

    "Nice soothing ingredients, oryzanol which is nice, and yeah so overall very nice product and feels nice on skin. Once it soaks in it's not tacky at all so I think my moisturizer and sunscreen will go over this very very nicely. [...] If you don't like actual ascorbic acid vitamin C's for whatever reason this one's a really nice option and has two different types of vitamin C which is good in case some of them end up being very proven to be very effective and some of them not as much so."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Vitamin C

    Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

    Vitamin E

    Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
