Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
This serum packs antioxidants and has a clean ingredient list, but the vitamin C formula is quite minimal, which means the ascorbic acid inside is less stable than it could be. The gurus note that while vitamin C derivatives in the formula do help shore that up, anyone hoping for active acne-fighting ingredients will want to look elsewhere, especially at this price point.
