This burned my face instantly and was unable to continue using. Have used other face serums and acids before but couldn’t use for sensitive skin.

I really like it and will Continue to buy, I see most of the complaints are concerning the smell of it, yes it does have a unique smell but that’s going to happen with matcha being of the ingredients, maybe I got used to the smell because it didn’t bother me, worked well on my combo skin, will continue to buy
Hate the smell

I like the texure of this it's soft, nice application. I like that it is a pump. However, I cannot stand the smell. To me it smells like saliva and I can smell it on my skin and hands after I wash them. (I am very sensitive to smells) this is a no for me.
Bad smell and feel

I have struggled to find a vitamin C serum that doesn't irritate my skin or cause breakouts due to filler ingredients. This one is the winner! It goes on super light and smooth, feels hydrating, and makes my skin look and feel amazing. My skin is bright, red marks from acne are fading, and I feel like I look younger thanks to my baby-smooth skin. Thank you, Acure!

I just started using this because I was looking for an affordable option for a vitamin C serum and it's awesome! My skin looks so clear, pores smaller and more even after using it for just a few days! I am really sensitive to serums that are oily and I break out really easily but this doesn't clog my pores at all.
I am in love with the product.

Used to use a much more expensive product and am finding the same or better results with less irritation! Skin is smooth, brown spots less noticable, overall glow that's been missing is back! Had the product for a week!! The convenience of the closable pump has made travel much easier.

Was hoping to replace expensive Beauty Counter vitamin C product but this didn't compare. Disliked smell and that I could "feel" the product hours after application.

In a perfect world, I would wash my face every night. Sometimes, though, I just don't have the spoons, and then I can just grab a towelette and take care of my face. It doesn't hurt that they smell good! #sweepstakes
Great product, but I don't love the scent

Great product. Goes on smooth and light. I don't love the scent, but that is the trade off if you want a natural product. I would much prefer that to synthetic fragrances
