I like this vitamin C serum. It feels really nice on the skin and it is really an enjoyable experience. My skin took it well and didn't feel irritated when using it. However, I have tried cheaper and more comfortable vitamin c serums... And they do not stain my clothes. However, if you have the money and really want the la roche experience I would recommend it.

I am in my mid 20's with acne/problem, fair tone skin and green eyes. My hair is dark brown, normal with normal texture.
I got sent this as a freebie gift with a la roche posay order. The smal bottle was 5ml but lasted a long time. My main downside is as it’s pure needs used in 2 months which for the size of bottle was achievable but if ordering full size with same expiry this would not be so would end up wasting money- my main reason for not recommending it. It is quite sticky to touch but instantly absorbs into skin. This did not irritate my skin at all and help to brighten my skin and helped smooth it out. Over the course of using it I noticed acne marks lighteninv which is was pleased with. However due to the price and how quickly you have to use it I would not repurchase this product.
