Acorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2%

product review positives

This is a solid option for vitamin c beginners. My hyperpigmentation (PIE and PIH) definitely benefitted from using this. When combined with the TO Niacinamide (I know its recommended on their website not to do that, but I’m a rebel) it synergises to...

product review negatives

The texture is the biggest drawback for me. Because of the oily feeling, I can’t seem to figure out a sweet spot for it in my morning routine. I also don’t have the patience to wait for it to dry down (which it never fully does). I can only use this ...

Acorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2%

product review positives

This is a pretty good vitamin C option for anyone. I started using this about a month ago and it’s helped with my hyperpigmentation and dark spots. Not drastically or significantly, but there is a quite noticeable difference for me. It has this odd w...

product review negatives

The serum is an oily one. it doesn’t dry down quickly like i’d hope and does look and feel a bit greasy, on my skin atleast, so I only use it at night. It that’s a problem for you even at night, I would use it as a spot treatment.

Once oxidized, the serum becomes an orange-pink color. It stains my finger nails if I do not wash my hands after I use it, which I don't. I cannot remove this stain unless I cut my nail off. But, this is a me problem.
