Melano CC Pure Vitamin C Essence vs Etude House SoonJung 10 Free Moist Emulsion

I still needed to do my Vitamin C routine, so I did that. And yeah, this is what my skin looks like right now in morning. Day seven: my skin seems sig...

I have oily skin, but I love a dewy glow and I love moisturizers that show your skin plump and glowy, so this product I do really like! I will be repurchasing this. 10/10. Love that it’s unscented!!!

I’m also in the uk and got a vichy vitamin c serum from boots which was much cheaper and I thought did a good job of lightening some of my darker spots ! Just looked it up and it says 15% vitamin c. Both the skinceuticals one and the Vichy one have quite a sticky texture which I don’t really like but I have seen results. People love melano cc vitamin c which I also tried.

I wanted to love this moisturizer so much, but after only two days of using it, my face broke out in horrible, dense, clustered closed comedones/acne that was also itchy and red and made my skin texture look really rough. I’ve never had something like this happen to me, I thought it wasn’t even possible since my skin isn’t very sensitive and I’ve tried SO many different products over they years. And this moisturizer was supposed be safe and gentle, but it totally ruined my skin ): I had to go to a dermatologist who said I probably got acne cosmetica from it and recommended a cleanser with benzoyl peroxide and that’s the only thing that’s helped.

For those with leftover red marks from acne (PIH): Melano CC Essence. The packaging keeps the vitamin C stable for a long time, unlike traditional dropper style packaging from other brands. It’s gentle and feels oily initially, but after two minutes it feels like you didn’t even put anything on your face. Results aren’t instant, but after a month of daily AM use my acne marks had considerably faded

I think it is very good for my oily acne prone skin, but I think someone with dry skin would need something more or to layer this multiple times.

Overall, it’s a nice refreshing mist. I don’t regret purchasing it even though there’s cheaper facial mists out there.

And I've heard that this is an emulsion so it would not really be enough on its own to moisturize dry skin. So overall, I would definitely highly high...
