April skin Vitamin ACE Serum review

I came across this serum in Cassandra Bankson's video. The ingredients list really has vitamin A (Retinal), vitamin C at 20% (Ascorbic Acid) and vitamin E (Tocopherol), which are really strong actives and rarely seen together in a single product. I wonder if anyone has tried this serum and how it works out for you.

TIPS :
This serum contains a high concentration of vitamin C, and you may experience a slight tingling sensation when used for the first time, especially if your skin is not used to active ingredients. A short adjustment period is necessary, and it is recommended to conduct a patch test before use, especially when using it together with other active ingredients.
If you want to keep your vitamin C fresh for an even longer period, we recommend storing it in the fridge!
To maximize the effectiveness of this product, it’s recommended to use it within 6 months of opening. april skin
