Silky Serum
I like this serum. The scent is very mild and it doesn''t bother me, and I am very sensitive to scent. The serum feels really silky and lightly moisturizes my skin. It makes it look smooth and firm. It wears well under my sunscreen and makeup. My skin looks slightly dewy but not shiny. I gave it 4 stars because I am not really sure how much vitamin C is really in this. It doesn't say on the label.

Smooth and sheer
This product goes on smooth and is sheer. It did not have a strong scent. My skin was fine when I first used this product but later broke out from it. My daughter also tried this product, and the same thing happened to her.

Almost. . .
I purchased this serum because I wanted a gentler alternative to the 20% l-ascorbic acid serum I use for days when my skin is feeling more sensitive. I like what I have read about sodium ascorbyl phosphate, being gentler and more stable than l-ascorbic acid, so I was happy to see it so high on the ingredient list. There are many other lovely ingredients included in this serum too. I was hesitant when I saw the "natural fragrance oils" listed but figured since they are last on the ingredient list, they would have little sensitizing risk. I know some people say they tolerate fragrant essential oils just fine, but I prefer to avoid them because I do believe Paula Begoun when she explains how they can be sensitizing over time, even if you're not seeing the damage right away. As it turns out, I hate the fragrance of the serum and find it to be quite overpowering when I first apply it. It does dissipate quickly, but still, the strength of the smell makes me think that the concentration of these oils is higher than I would have thought. Who knows. As it happens, I like the consistency of the serum, I do not find it has contributed to breakouts in the couple of weeks that I've been using it (I have mild hormonal acne and congestion, but it hasn't changed since I started this serum). It seems to absorb nicely and leaves a very pretty glow to my skin. Usually, I do not like a serum with a "glow" because I tend to have oily spots, and things that claim to leave a glow tend to be overkill on my complexion. This one really does have a nice finish on me. If they removed the fragrant oils, I would probably repurchase. If it stays as is, I will likely finish the bottle but not repurchase.
