Why I love it! PROS

I've been using this serum for over 4 years and I always get compliments on my skin! The brightening effects make my skin look glowy and the anti-acne ingredients keep my skin mostly zit-free (except for the occasional hormonal breakout). It's also affordable, retailing at about $14.

Things to Consider: CONS

The Vitamin C+ serum has a lot of active ingredients: 2% Retinol, 3.5% Niacinamide, 5% Hyaluronic Acid, 2% Salicylic Acid, 10% MSM, 20% Vitamin C

While each of these ingredients help the product help the product work wonders, I wouldn't recommend using it often if you have very sensitive skin.

Also, since it contains retinol, there is a period of adjustment where your skin has to adjust to the product. It's known as the "retinol uglies" because people experience breakouts, irritation, redness, dryness, etc. It's a temporary adjustment, but it's not fun to go through!

If you are pregnant, it is not recommended to use ANY retinoids, this one included. For more information, please read this article on the National Library of Medicine's website.
