Web ID: 14220197Weird Smell
I didn’t really notice much of a difference Even with the weird smell. It smells kind of like pancake syrup. Or maybe I got a bad batch, didn’t hurt my skin but the smell was hard to deal with.
Vitamin C
Excellent product !

Severe allergic reaction
Buyers beware, product may cause severe allergic reaction! My skin is not sensitive usually but this product caused my face to swell to the point where my eyes were swelled shut. It took several days for the swelling to go down and left my skin barrier damaged and painful.

Not suitable for sensitive, dry skin.
Product was irritating after a few days and had to discontinue use.

Lot of product, little goes a long way
The opening is interesting, I'm not a fan of how liquid it is and how it sits on my skin but there is a good amount of product for what you pay for.
Reaction
Received as a sample and suffered a skin reaction 24 hours later. Itchy red skin and swollen eyes similar to other reactions in the section.

Allergic reaction
I normally use the mad hippie vitamin c but bought this one as part of a bundle. Unfortunately my skin had a terrible allergic reaction to it similar to the other reviews and I had to throw it away. It started as redness and then had pustular bumps and is now extremely dry while it’s healing. I feel like it’s worth mentioning that I have never had a reaction like this and my skin is not normally sensitive to products.

Emergency room visit due to this product
I ended up in the emergency room due to this product. I initially wasn’t aware it was this. But my eyes swelled up and I had bumps all over face and neck with intense burning. I was told not to apply any skincare for a few days and given steroids to counter the reaction. After my face cleared up I used it again, not knowing it was the cause and the same thing happened. I discontinued using and again my face cleared up. Then I tried to use just a tiny drop mixed in with my moisturizer, and yet again had a reaction around my eyes nose and mouth, not as severe as the other times. My skin is never sensitive to serums/chemical exfoliants so I know that’s not the issue. I’ve also used vitamin c serums religiously for the past few years. It’s definitely this product
