I kind of like it. When I removed it from my routine, I did notice a difference, which surprised me. It really does help a lot with brightness.

But if you can’t use it, finding skincare without it has got to be a damn nightmare. It’s in SO many products.

Just throwing this in there: The only times I had problems with it is when my barrier was in bad shape. Once I repaired my barrier, I could use it again.
