I think it irritated my skin. A lot of red spots appeared...

I can't really tell if it's improving anything, but it does make my skin feel more hydrated...

악티브C 비타민 에센스

It took a while to absorb and I wasn't a fan of the scent

I loved how it brightened my complexion and didn't cause any blemishes

I found this product wasn't quite as hydrating as I'd hoped, so before applying, I practically give myself a mask with toner. Applying the product after that gives a much better moisture boost. Also, I only applied it in the evenings.

The price is wickedly high... the price... the price! If only I knew how to make it myself, I'd love to whip up my own batch.

You'll experience baby-soft, smooth skin just one second after applying. Even when you apply it before bed, you'll wake up with skin as soft as a baby's. It's truly moving!

This product contains AHA. Try patting it on gently instead of rubbing to reduce pilling.

Because of the pilling... I can't even touch my face without it rolling off.

I felt like my skin looked brighter, but...

When I apply it in the morning and put on makeup, it causes pilling and makes it difficult for foundation to go on smoothly, so I only use it at night.

The price is higher compared to other La Roche-Posay products.

Those looking for intense hydration might find this product disappointing.

I bought this primarily to reduce blemish scars, and a few days after applying, I noticed the scars starting to fade. It was also great that it didn't cause any new breakouts.

After application, my skin feels neither too moist nor too dry. It might be good for those with oily skin to use alongside other hydrating products.

While I'm not sure if there's a noticeable improvement in elasticity, I apply it daily for scar care and general skin maintenance.

Vitamin C products often have the drawback of pilling, but honestly, I use small amounts so it doesn't pill for me, even when I use it in the morning. However, if you dislike pilling, you might want to skip it in your morning routine.

The absorption is a bit lacking, which is a downside, but it's not a problem if you apply it in small amounts with gentle patting motions. Also, since it's an anti-wrinkle product, it doesn't provide hydration or a rich feel. If you're looking for moisturization, you might want to try a different line.

I bought this product because vitamin C not only helps with wrinkles but also has brightening effects. I usually get blemishes from products with brightening properties, so I was worried, but this one caused no issues at all. It's great!

I gave it to my mom and she's quite pleased with it. It's great if you don't have super sensitive skin!

Unfortunately, it caused breakouts almost immediately...

It works wonders on smile lines! Absolutely top-notch for preventing wrinkles!
