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).
