Game changer

First time trying this product but I’m obsessed with the results, it’s been a couple of days in but my skin is fresh and bright. A refreshing spritz in the morning gives my skin a boost and an immediate glow. DIYs are the way to go. EN you are the best.

Ascorbic Acid

It was difficult to find L-ascorbic acid in smaller quantities, but Essentially Natural sells these smaller quantities. I only use it for acidulation of fruits before processing.
The delivery was top notch, product arriving the day after I ordered it. Well done!
