What the gurus are saying

The unproven conversion of these vitamin C forms to active ascorbic acid is a real question mark, since we don't know if that chemical switch actually happens in your skin where it matters. That said, people do praise the serum itself for what you feel and see: a scent-free gel texture that's genuinely pleasant to use, with no fragrance irritation to worry about.

"This one does not have ascorbic acid in the product, and the ascorbic acid in the product if it's there is not stable."

"I got a little bit of the Hero Cella dark spot go away serum. This stuff's really nice. It's got no scent to it. It's got a nice gel texture to it. I try to fit in something in every routine to help with my hyperpigmentation or melasma. Sometimes it's this serum, sometimes it's something different, sometimes it's the Regimen Lab level serum, sometimes it's stronger stuff like hydroquinone, or sometimes it's something nice and light like this."

"It's got a gel texture, which is wonderful. It has no scent to it, which is nice. Hero is so hit or miss with their scent. I don't know, half the time it's scented, half the time it's fragrance free, and I never know, so I always check out the individual list with this brand because you just never know. I like it, it feels nice."
