The product has a slightly grainy feel because powdered vitamin C is suspended in an oil-like vehicle; with brief rubbing it absorbs and leaves skin feeling hydrated and revitalized. For sensitive skin, the suspension can be mixed into a moisturizer to ease tolerance when starting out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this product help even out dull or uneven skin tone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePure L-ascorbic acid is a direct form of vitamin C known for supporting skin brightness when used topically.
