"In here they've gone in with the correct form of vitamin C, they've gone with ethyl ascorbic acid, so that's a derivative, it's not going to be irritating to the skin. They have, however, used mandarin peel extract, which is a sensitizer to the skin. And then they've gone in with kakadu plum, which breaks down too quickly, it's not a stable form of vitamin C. And then they've gone in with rose extract, which is also a skin sensitizer. This is not actually the greatest of products, it started off well, but I think I would give this a maximum 7 out of 10. I wouldn't use it on my own face."

STOP Wasting Money on Vit C Products that Don't Work!

"I don't like the packaging on the plus side it is naif safe meaning there's no deaged alcohol which dries the skin there's no fragrance which can lead to contact dermatitis and there's no essential oils and essential oils are also something I do not like for skin of color cuz it can sensitize the skin [...] but this one is a nav safe product I don't think it's an ideal product I do like the price point but there are better things on the market on Nik so for me this is no"
