The most gentle vitamin C I've used! Helped to clear up my over all complexion pretty well too.

No crazy results but works

I only purchased this product because I heard a lot of good things about the stronger version and wanted to work up to it. It did not do much for my stubborn dark spots but I can see a slight difference. Overall, not bad and will probably work well for people with sensitive skin.
