    I really like this product. I have greasy skin but this product feels so light and leaves my skin feeling refreshed. It also causes no break outs on my acne prone skin. The product turns brown in...

    Mine doesn't say "Light Texture" anywhere on the tube but it is the Active C for Normal to Combination Skin. I LOVE this stuff. My dry skin just drinks it up - it is absorbed instantly. I got the...

    I only have slightly dry skin and I am not acne prone, so I chose to use this instead of the LRP for dry skin.....(slightly dry skin is not an option for profile, so I put "normal") This has...

    I was given a couple of the mini sample sizes of this by my dermatologist so that I could give Active C a try without actually having to buy a whole tube (expensive stuff!). I'm really pleased to...

    I only got this because my derm asked me to after a laser procedure. The -xane (cyclopentasiloxane) broke me out. My skin just hates any kind of xanes. I shouldn't have gotten it at all.

    As far as C serums go, this one is relatively a low %, but a great starter C for sensitive skins or new to abscorbic acids. I'm a RAM user, and have freckled skin with some hyperpigmentation. ...

    I really wanted this to work, but sadly each time I tried it always broke me out. I gave this four or five tries when my skin was clear since I am looking for a stable vit. C for antioxidant. All...

    Like many rosacea sufferers I have turned to Vitamin C to restore some normality to my skin. Like previous C products I used this one was, initially, excellent. Unlike other C products I've used...

    I love this stuff. I use it in the am on my normal to sensitive skin and it has noticeably smoothed my skin texture. I know 5% isn't supposed to be enough to work (10% minimum?) but this seems...

    So I had high hopes for this since I've been able to use the eye version with no problems. What's good about it is the light texture that sinks right in and it did leave my t zone matte. HOWEVER...

    Today I tried active C for "Dry Skin." First impression is nice metal tube so that vit. c stays active, and little waste. You can always cut the tube at the end so that you can use it all. I like...
