But after applying it consistently for a few days, it gradually got better~!!! It absorbs well~!! It's slightly sticky, but you can layer it with other products~!!
ConsThe price... and the amount is quite small. Since it's pure vitamin C, there are some products you can't use together! I have collagen, retinol, and niacinamide, so I use them separately during day and night. Also, because it's pure vitamin C, you need to use it up quickly!!
TipIf you have super sensitive skin, it's great for layering!! You can gradually increase the amount mixed with serums or emulsion creams that suit your skin to avoid stinging and redness. Eventually, you might be able to apply it purely on its own!!

This is one of the standouts I've found. It contains vitamin C (ascorbic acid), great for skin antioxidation, along with ferulic acid to stabilize the somewhat unstable vitamin C cosmetic ingredient and maximize its effects. It also includes vitamin E. At 15% vitamin C, it's quite a potent percentage. Some people with sensitive skin might experience redness or a tingling sensation, but that's a sign it's working. (Always use with sunscreen!) It's effective in eliminating dark spots, post-acne hyperpigmentation, and freckles. By the time you finish a bottle, many spots will have faded or completely cleared. I've had severe dark circles since childhood that couldn't be managed through diet or supplements, and even sunscreen didn't help. I thought they were just genetic, but after using this product daily, my dark circles disappeared. Of course, I diligently applied sunscreen every day too, but other brands' vitamin C products never gave me results like this. I've heard it's a dupe for Skinceuticals. Compared to Skinceuticals, the price point isn't bad at all.
ConsThe main drawback might be the price for continuous use, even though the 20ml size is understandable due to vitamin C's quick oxidation. However, compared to Skinceuticals' vitamin C product, it gives you 5ml more and is much more affordable. I buy it whenever Paula's Choice has a sale.
TipDon't stockpile it - use it right away after purchase. This product oxidizes quickly, so if you notice the color changing to a deep yellow, it's already oxidized. Use it diligently every day and always finish your morning skincare routine with sunscreen.

I have to say, it absorbs really well and feels great on the skin. The dropper applicator is a nice touch, making it super easy to use.
ConsI used up the entire bottle, but honestly, I didn't notice any dramatic changes in my skin.
