Shelf stable Vit C I can mix with the cream of my choice! I am hoping to lighten so some sunspots so I am using with a Vitamin E lotion which boosts the effects of the Vitamin C. Slight tingle upon application but that's how I know it's on and working! One minor thing, it smells like teriyaki later in the day! not strong enough for others to detect but It must be part of the oxidation process. I use it morning and night and will post another review if it clears the brown spots.

Nice results

I am on a constant quest for the perfect skin care regime for my 40+ complexion. I like the results of vitamin C on my complexion, and the price point to this was good. I have been using this for 2 weeks, every morning, and do feel my complexion is brighter. My complaints with this product are it is a messy powder and I hate its unavoidable spills with trying to get the product out of the bottle. It does incorporate easily into moisturizer. I am not yet committed to this product, and plan on trying other brands until I, hopefully, find the perfect preparation, but I am not at all opposed to returning to this.

Now I understand why it was on backorder!

I bought this product based on the reviews and they were right! I always trust Nordstrom.com reviewers, they never steer me wrong. I am 35 and use a prescription strength retinol at night. I was looking for a daytime product to combat age spots and fine lines and this fits the bill perfectly! I add it to my moisturizer and use Mario Badescu Vitamin C Serum underneath. I like that I can precisely measure it with the spoon they provide. My skin in one week looks much improved. I had growing "11" lines between the brows and tiny lines on my forehead. They are visibly diminished to the point where people have commented. I also have some age spots and light acne scarring. That's improved significantly as well. I also have more of a healthy glow. I hope Philosophy never stops making this!
