My overall experience/comments on the product:
I found this to be alright and, as much as I love Vitamin C in skincare, I just wasn't moved by this. I think it's quite pricey for a serum that essentially just adds radiance to your skin. The texture is ok but I find myself wishing it were more hydrating when I used it. Low-key I wish they'd just mix their hyaluronic and Vitamin C serums into one because, frankly, dry and/or aging skin could benefit from both.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
