I love recommending this to minimalists and to anyone who has watched a $90 serum turn brown and useless halfway through the bottle. Because you activate the powder with water each time, potency is never in question — fresh vitamin C on day 90 exactly like day one. The trade-off is no supporting cast, and pure ascorbic acid is assertive, so I tell reactive clients to start with a smaller pinch on a well-hydrated face. For the right person, it is the purest vitamin C here.
