  Pros

  It absorbs well and penetrates deeply into the skin. The texture feels soft and silky smooth as soon as you apply it. I bought it from a home shopping channel, and the price seems reasonable. I trust that there are no harmful ingredients in the formula, so I'll likely continue using this as my go-to vitamin C product.

  Cons

  Since I use it as the first step in my skincare routine, by the time I apply my nourishing cream as the last step, it tends to pill slightly.

  Tip

  I've been using it after applying toner.

  Pros

  1. Individual capsule packaging - An optimal packaging method for vitamin ingredients that easily oxidize when exposed to light and air. 2. Ingredients - Contains a high concentration of vitamin C without any fragrances or irritating components. I was initially concerned about the silicone base, but I learned that the silicone used in cosmetics has larger molecules than pores and is volatile, so there's no worry about clogging pores. It even allows the active ingredients in subsequent skincare products to penetrate. In fact, it helps the active ingredients absorb into the skin more stably by blocking contact with air. That's why I'm okay with silicone ingredients as long as they're not combined with PEG.

  Cons

  1. The amount in each capsule seems a bit much for one use. I split it in half. 2. After applying it to my face, there's a white residue that clumps on my fingertips. At first, I thought it was my dead skin cells and got startled, but it's probably the silicone ingredient. 3. Perhaps because I've been using it intermittently, I haven't noticed any significant effects yet. Still, since it's highly recommended by dermatologists and beauty experts, I'm going to trust the process and use it consistently. 4. It stings quite a bit while absorbing. It feels like tiny needles pricking my skin. I always take a deep breath before applying it. It's just the nature of the ingredients, so it can't be helped. I endure it by imagining my skin plumping up with collagen.

  Tip

  I'm using madecassoside along with vitamin C as I've heard it helps with wound healing and collagen production. I'm using Sidmool's Centella Essential. Since Monoderm has a silicone base, I used to apply it before cream, but it pilled more severely when applied over Centella Essential. Changing the order of application improved its absorption. I apply in this order: toner > ampoule > Monoderm > Centella Essential > cream.
