I tried this for a couple of nights and got tiny red bumps. I passed it on to my daughter and she had the same skin reaction. Unfortunately I'm past the 30 day return policy. I use the same brand of face wash without issues so I was surprised this caused a skin reaction.

Do not use if you are sensitive to vitamin c or any other type of acid. I used this sample once and my face was red and itchy the whole next day.
Used this once overnight and woke up with redness. Progressed to small white bumps around my forehead, nose, and around my mouth. Itchy and swollen. Even washing my face with a gentle cleanser causes burning. pr previously used
This make me have bad acne , i have combination skin and even as adult i have sometimes little blackheads but this product make my skin worst. Didn’t work for me.
Disappointing. Product used in small quantities at night and it caused irritation and dryness. Wouldn’t recommend.
After using this product for about 5 weeks I can say that it does absolutely nothing. There is no change in skin tone texture or blemishes. There’s no skin brightness. It didn’t cause any rashes or oiliness like it did for some people. It didn’t really work for me.
This is the best moisturizer I’ve ever tried, it’s really lightweight and I easy to smooth on the face and after a few weeks of using I noticed clear difference in my skin tone and pigmentation. This seriously helps with dark spots or uneven skin tone.
I've used this for 3 days and I've never had a reaction to any of the vitamin c products I've used in the past. I've only used this in the morning after my CeraVe Hydrating cleanser and my moisturizing toner then followed with sunscreen. My cheeks, nose and forehead are now red, itchy/blotchy and have tiny white bumps all over them.
This is definitely a product I’d buy for full price! I got it during the sale and I love it!!! It’s not too heavy or oily and the scent isn’t super strong. I definitely see my skin glowing the next morning.
Goes quickly for the price unfortunately. It does have a pleasant smell but I really did not notice much of a difference in my skin. This one is less harsh than the drops from Paula’s Choice, better for sensitive skin but still doesn’t do too much.
