I purchased the Zo vitamin C which I have used before. Love it. This eyecream I haven’t used before and look forward to seeing positive effects as all Zo products seem to be superior.
I appreciate the great customer service from Anti Aging Vancouver.
I used to live in Vancouver but now live in the east and I order from them.

Research every ingredient before purchasing this one, works well and smells nice but too scared to use another bottle

The texture is different than any other Vit C product I have used. You really feel the "tingle" after applying, but it's not uncomfortable by any means. Absorbs nicely with a matte finish and doesn't irritate my otherwise sensitive skin. I haven't been using it long enough to verify how well the product works long term.
Thank you for sharing your review of the 10% Vitamin C Self-Activating product. It's great to hear that you're enjoying the texture and that it doesn't irritate your sensitive skin. The tingling sensation is a common effect of vitamin C products, and it's good to know that it's not uncomfortable for you. Keep up with your skincare routine and hopefully you'll see positive long-term results!
