Gals... this is my go-to for 3 years and my skin looks better at 35 than it did at 25. Expert tip for ya: cover it in tin foil and leave it in fridge. It will slow down oxidation and keep the C active much longer than at room temp (you’ll see it turn yellow/smell bad as it oxidizes). Highly recommend! Diana · ellemesmedspa.com
