Older than 36 months. These may describe an earlier version.

After 2 bottles over 4 months the Ascorbyl Glucoside 12% barely helped PIH or congestion; felt nice but smelled terrible. Won't rebuy.

“In all honesty, it really didn’t do much.”

Uses the Ascorbyl Glucoside 12% on their neck: watery, quick absorbing and well tolerated, but results take longer.

“The 12% is very easy to use and very well tolerated but it takes longer time to see result.”

After just over a month of the Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% they have seen no results yet.

“I’ve been using it for just over a month and failed to see any results yet.”

Calls the Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% a holy grail: very gentle, no pilling under makeup, and it brightened and evened skin tone.

“It’s very gentle on my skin and absorbs well. It doesn’t pull under my makeup which earns it bonus points.”

Uses the Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% and calls it their favorite; gentle, with results from consistent use.

“I use this and it is my FAVE”

After a month on dry, sensitive skin the Ascorbyl Glucoside 12% brightened and evened their complexion so they no longer need foundation.

“I have been using the TO 12% Ascorbyl Glucoside for a month and am very pleased with the results.”

Tried the Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% but found it too sticky and prefers niacinamide.

“I tried this out, and I didn't like it nearly as much as you did, it was a bit too sticky for me”
