Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Dr. Althea Gentle Vitamin C Serum is very a gentle Vitamin Serum that is perfect for people with sensitive skin and for people new to using vitamin C serums. Many Vitamin C serums are quite potent and strong, and many people with delicate and sensitive skin find them difficult, if not impossible to use. This one, however, really is gentle, and it provides a nice introduction to the benefits of Vitamin C serums. This serum offers hydration that really buffers the Vitamin C, and soothes the skin while the Vitamin C helps to reduce dark spots and uneven skin tone. It is important to use a high SPF sunscreen when using products that fade dark spots so that you do not end up with more hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation. The lightweight serum gel melts into the skin and leaves behind no sort of unpleasant residue, and it has no detectable aroma.

According to Dr. Althea,
