Burn, baby, burn!
My skin has either really changed over the years, or I am just becoming more knowledgeable about skincare. I have oily/combination skin, depending on the season, and seborrheic dermatitis which also makes my skin more sensitive. It has been a battle finding the right combination of products to control the oil and blackheads, but not irritate my skin. This product definitely didn't help! According ...read moreto the directions, it is best used in the morning so I would add it to me moisturizer/sunscreen and it would just burn my skin. Stupid me, I didn't realize this was a "problem" until I started learning more about skin irritants; that is a whole other topic in itself! :) I just thought if it tingled or burned a smidge, it was "working." Uh, NO! If your skin is sensitive, I would opt for another product. However, if it is not, it may be worth it to add. I did notice SLIGHT brightening effect in the 6 short weeks I used it. I would say that a serum would be more convenient; this powder comes with a teeny spoon to retrieve the powder and it can be a big mess, resulting in lost product. However, it is convenient that you can pretty much mix it with any product. I am going to try KIMINSC's suggestion of using a crushed vitamin c pill and see if that is as bothersome. All in all, I would skip this product and try something else.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

No Brightening Only Irritation..Throwing Out Right Now
I had fantastic results with Dermalogica's Map 15 Regenerator, which is a powder-to-emulsion Vitamin C. I could put Map 15 directly under my eyes with no problems or irritation. When my sample ran out I wanted to purchase the full size product but I could not justify the $85 price for a non-essential skin product. In seeking an alternative I found Philosophy's Turbo Booster C Powder assuming it ...read morewould have the same effect. I could not have been more mistaken. First, the powder gets all over the place. I can see now why Dermalogica is a "powder-to-emulsion". The powder is difficult enough and if it stays a powder, forget it, it's everywhere! Unlike Dermalogica's Map 15, the Philosophy Turbo Booster C burns when it touches my skin. Silly me thought I could "get used to it" but I abandoned the product within 2 weeks. I never saw any change in my skin where with the Dermalogica there were results within the same timeframe. Approximately 6 months later I took the product out again determined to find some use for it (maybe on my hands?). I was disappointed to fine that the Vitamin C had now spoiled. The powder had changed color in spots. We've all read the damage you can do to your skin with spoiled Vitamin C (free radical damage). It's too late to get my money back so straight in the garbage it goes! What a waste of money! I rarely feel like a product is completely useless but here it is.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
