The only positive is that it's cheap, but the saying 'cheap is cheerless' comes to mind.
ConsI previously used Clinique Vitamin C and it worked really well for me, so I thought I'd try a cheaper one from iHerb, hoping the similar or even higher concentration would have a similar effect. But 'cheap is cheerless'... There's not a single thing better about it compared to Clinique. In fact, it has no effect at all, and my skin actually got worse. I think vitamin C serums and essences work best for oily or combination skin types, as they help reduce oil production and minimize peeling. But this serum had no such effect. It didn't brighten my skin at all. After using it, my skin felt coated, and it was even a bit tricky to wash off. The reality is that skincare products only have a minor effect on skin improvement, but still, I'm going back to Clinique. I bought two bottles, and it was a waste of money.

I've been using 5 drops twice a day in the morning. At first, I was worried that the color was yellow and oxidized, but after reading the reviews, I found that it's normal and in the form of ascorbic acid sodium phosphate, so it's actually in a stable state.
ConsThe color is yellow, so I thought it was all oxidized, but after checking the reviews, it seems normal.

After reading the Amazon reviews, I decided to give it a try. I've been applying it once a day, right before bedtime after cleansing my face. I've noticed that the redness and unevenness in my skin tone have improved, and my skin texture has become smoother. There's a light orange-like scent that I personally enjoy. The formula also feels clean and non-chemical on my skin.
ConsThe texture is a bit watery for a serum, so when I dispense a few drops onto my face, it tends to drip and spread quickly. Even when I apply a few drops to the back of my hand, it easily runs off before I can fully absorb it.
TipThe product instructions recommend applying it twice a day, but I found that once a day works well for me.

ConsThe scent is a bit... It's a yellowish color, so it feels like I'm applying orange juice, but I'm not sure if it's that good.
TipRather than applying it drop by drop with your fingers, which is expensive and precious, using a product like Ice Cooling seems to help absorb it all over your face.

The scent is honey-like, the texture is a runny honey, it has excellent spreadability, and it absorbs quickly. It contains hyaluronic acid, which makes the skin reflect more light and appear brighter. I use this together with the brand's niacinamide serum, and it has helped with skin regeneration.
ConsThe only downsides are that it is only available for overseas purchase and the price is not particularly low. While it uses a vitamin C derivative and thus has a pleasant feel, the effects take some time to appear.

After using it, my skin tone seems to have brightened a little.
ConsThe smell is really like vitamins, a bit sour, but it's no problem once you get used to it.

After two months of use, my skin tone seems to have brightened up. ^^
ConsThere was a bit of irritation, as my skin was slightly reddened and bumpy at first. But it's not like that anymore.
