I've been using a lotion for years, but I wanted a change of scenery, so I bought this. The deciding factor for me was that it was a vitamin C lotion with a pump. One pump dispensed a sufficient amount. The feel was great. It was moisturizing but not sticky. It absorbed quickly. I didn't have any skin problems, and I didn't get any itching or acne. It's three times the price of my usual product, so I'm not sure if I'll buy it again, but I'll give it a try and see what happens.
