Green Tangerine Vita-C Dark Spot Care Serum
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Goodal's Green Tangerine Vita-C Dark Spot Care Serum is a hydrating gel-like serum that professional makeup artist CYoung finds "really hydrating so good before the makeup too" and suitable for all skin types, though she notes no visible brightening effect and a messy lid. Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Jenny Liu recommends it for skin brightening due to ingredients like ascorbyl glucoside and arbutin, especially for post-acne marks.

- “It is great for those that are seeking a vitamin C derivative mostly for skin brightening benefits”
