POSITIVE

- “It was still formulated with the same goals of giving brighter, healthier skin and it's under $25”2:37–2:42

MIXED / NEGATIVE
- “I just don't like it”
- “I get why Dr. Sam Ellis chose L-ascorbic acid at 15%. Talk about a clinically studied ingredient”20:50–20:56
- “It even smells like the SkinCeuticals. It smells like meaty water”21:03–21:09
- “It is runny. It will oxidize in time. It's already a little bit yellow over here”21:15–21:20
- “I just don't like how it feels. It's got a real heavy, sticky-like feeling. It does eventually absorb, but I still feel it on my skin”20:47–20:53
- “If you are reactive, it can sting a bit”
- “This is stinky. It stings my skin”
