Pros

  • Yes, have been through several bottles. It sinks right in, doesn't pill and doesn't sting my sensitive skin (major plus for an ascorbic acid serum).
  • I prefer ascorbic acid (Geek & Gorgeous C-Glow, and I love their other products as well, they have a fabulous, gentle cleanser and some other serums that I've enjoyed).
  • I like Geek & Gorgeous C-Glow, it's a 15% ascorbic acid but if you're interested in Vitamin C in your routine I strongly suggest you do a little research on the different derivatives and what they do best. All the products Geek & Gorgeou...
  • Something like Geek & Gorgeous C-Glow or Timeless 20% Vitamin C tends to feel lighter compared to C E Ferulic-style formulas.
  • Geek and Gorgeous Vitamin C

Cons

  • The vit c in Geek and Gorgeous is also the faintest pale yellow . Can anyone relate ? It’s supposed to be making me look younger not worse haha
  • It's oxidised on your skin.
  • Vitamin C: The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% (used to use Geek & Gorgeous C-Glow, but I recently discovered that a store near me has it, unlike C-Glow which I had to order. Might switch back to the G&G one if I'm not...
  • I think sometimes yellow residue can happen if product is not fully absorbing into your skin/you're using too much, it can cause the vitamin C to oxidize and become yellow on your face.
  • I would cut the C-glow, vitamin C is a really common irritant.

I like Geek & Gorgeous C-Glow, it's a 15% ascorbic acid but if you're interested in Vitamin C in your routine I strongly suggest you do a little research on the different derivatives and what they do best. All the products Geek & Gorgeous are Niacinamide free (except their B-Bomb). They have 2 different moisturizers, an AMAZING gentle cleanser, a hydrating mist, cleansing balm and numerous serums …
