What the community says
Pros
- Stable and mild vitamin C form — less irritating than L-AA
- Can be applied even around the eye area without conflict
- Favored by beginners for brightness and fade of PIH
Cons
- Not as potent or fast-acting for hyperpigmentation compared to L-AA
- May still cause redness or irritation for very sensitive skin
- Some users unsure if it genuinely improves pigmentation or just mildly brightens
