I've been using this product for over 10 years, even before it was renewed. It can be used morning and night. It's a watery lotion containing vitamin C derivatives, but I also recommend using it on a moist cotton pack. I feel like it tightens my pores. I choose the lotion I use depending on the condition of my skin, but when my skin is sensitive or I have a sunburn, I often choose this one. It doesn't drip and I like the simple design.
I use it as a pre-lotion immediately after washing my face. It penetrates well, and the lotion I apply afterward seems to soak in well. I've been using the expensive Apps serum up until now, but I'm happy to be able to use it at this price point.
I've been a regular customer for over five years. I've been cheating on this with other lotions lately, but I suddenly noticed an increase in acne scars, so I started using this again. After using it for about a month, I can see that my acne scars have faded and my skin is looking brighter overall. I like that it's not sticky, but has a slightly thick texture. The scent is also reminiscent of citrus. I think I'll continue to use it as a talisman.
