Air-tight packaging preserves 10% vitamin C for brightening and fading PIH; oily texture.

What the community says

This vitamin C essence offers stable L-ascorbic acid in a unique air-tight tube preventing oxidation. It suits those tackling recent hyperpigmentation but can feel oily and slow to absorb. Not recommended for oily or acne-prone skin due to breakouts and texture issues.
