FAQ
How does this compare to expensive vitamin C serums like SkinCeuticals?
It uses pure ascorbic acid (active vitamin C) just like SkinCeuticals, but in an oil-based formula that's more stable than most water-based serums. At $10-15 versus $180, many Reddit users say it delivers comparable results for fading dark spots and acne scars. The main difference is concentration and feel on skin.
Why doesn't this oxidize like other vitamin C serums?
The oil-based formula plus the airless tube packaging with a narrow tip keeps it stable. Most vitamin C serums oxidize because they're water-based and exposed to air every time you open a dropper bottle. This design solves that problem.
Where does this go in my routine?
After cleansing and toner, before moisturizer. Use the narrow tip to apply directly to dark spots or acne scars, or dot it across your face if you're using it for overall brightening. A little goes a long way.
