Melano CC Pure Vitamin C Essence vs Iunik Centella Calming Gel Cream

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 can’t say it does anything for pimples since I rarely break out, but does leave your face brighter and less dull.

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’m currently trying to treat my acne with oral and topical medications and was looking for a moisturizer that wouldn’t interfere with anything or make my acne worse.

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.

Results aren’t instant, but after a month of daily AM use my acne marks had considerably faded

My problem though...was that it caused my face to sting on my first use, and by the second use I have small rashes around my nose/mouth area

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

My skin is like constantly red because I'm always exposed to the intense Sun here in Hawaii But I also have oily skin and it's really difficult to fin...
