As someone whose skin is veryy sensitive towards any vitamin c serum I am very happy I am able to use an alternative for the same benefits. The texture is quite unique thanks to the capsules which quickly melt into the skin when applied. I had heard it would be drying but currently in my routine my skin feels fine. It does have a lot of benefits out of which I've mostly noticed the fading of my dark spots. Benefits aside it's just great to not have to worry about it oxidizing.
