I recieved a small tube sample of this from my last visit at Target. Good thing that I didn't pay for this product because it's really bad. I like a few other products fom La Roche Posey, like...

I bought this product to help minimize some acne scars from a couple years ago and dark spots. While it worked wonders on improving my skin's texture, I didn't seem an visible improvement in my...

I initially bought this product because I read somewhere it was good at minimizing plastic surgery scars - I had a couple of moles removed. I thought it did help flatten smooth them - so plus...

Well, I don't know where to start. First of all, I must say I had really high hopes on this one. I always liked LRP products and consider this brand to be safe and appropiate to sensitive skin. I...

I love vitamin c for boosting and maintaining even tone and bright clarity of my maturing dry skin. The tube is sanitary and dispenses with ease at first. I wasn't looking for a "wow" factor but...

LOVE this. I am sure it is responsible for making my skin more luminous/bright. It is comfortable on the skin and has just enough moisturization that I can use it without a moisturizer on top...

I was very afraid that vitamin C products would irritate my skin. I tried making my own and that was a disaster! The LRP active C line has never irritated my skin, and even better they don't make...

Seems that this is a product that works best for a very specific group -- and apparently I am one of them. I love this for the luminosity and "juiciness" it gives my skin when I pair it with every...

Though I have never tried La Roche Posay skincare products before, I still had high hopes for this since I've heard of so many people swearing by their products. I bought this Active C cream...

This is great. It really improves my skin's texture. I use it mornings only, after cleansing with water. My skin is dry-combination and prone to being sensitive and doesn't like too many products...

I have tried other Vitamin C serums but I like this one best because it doesn't sit on my face, it sinks in. I only use it my cheeks, top of my nose and right above my upper lip.

I bought this at Ulta, paid $43 + tax. I think this is the worst vitamin C product that I have used. It made my skin look worse and wore awful under makeup. My skin looked dull, orange, saggy,...

This just didn't agree with my skin. I'm not sure why, but every time I put it on, I'd get a few more clogged pores the next morning that would go away when I discontinued use. I'm not sure if it...
