What the gurus are saying

The enzyme-and-vitamin-C formula appeals to those who struggle with chemical exfoliants, with early praise for how easy it is to use and how readily it becomes a primary vitamin C. However, caution is raised about recommending it to patients with skin of color, though the specific reasons behind that concern aren't detailed.

"But as it is as it stands as beautiful as the packaging is this is not one I would use for my face or recommend to my Global skin of color family"

"This is the Green Tea Enzyme Vitamin C Brightening Serum from Innisfree, a new release sold at Sephora, with suspended oil droplets in it, made with 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid. Since it's a new release I don't have long term thoughts on it yet, but it did kind of jump in and become my primary vitamin C for these past few days. It's really easy to use, and I like the enzyme ingredients, those seem to work for me even though I struggle with a lot of chemical exfoliants."

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.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Tranexamic acid

Tranexamic acid has a growing body of clinical evidence for melasma and the stubborn patches of pigment that other ingredients struggle with.
