philosophy turbo booster – 99.8% topical vitamin C powder – improves fine lines, radiance & dark spots – 0.25 oz

Freckles be tamed! As for lightening dark spots, this little powder works great.To be clear, I am a freckled faced girl. Only God (or a laser) could remove my freckles. However, with age came additional dark spots that wanted to just blend in with the freckles. Not a good look for me. This Philosophy C powder IS actually lightening the dark spots.I am not a chemist, but I think keeping the powder separate from a cream or moisturizer until application is the key to its efficacy.There is a drawback in that it seems to take all the moisture out of the moisturizer I use. It also seems to overall lighten my skin. No worries since winter is approaching and I am fairly certain the summer sunshine will add back a shade or two. As for a dewy moist skin appeal, I simply add the powder to my nightly routine every other night. I use Estee, IT, Philosophy or Aveeno skincare and so far this works!I write this review as a 63 year old women who never wants her skin to look a day over 40! I've invested since my 20's. That said, please use caution and consider a more professional review of the science.

Some years ago I studied and tried to understand about skin care products and what was hype and what was worthwhile.This product is not appreciated enough. IMHO it is the most available-usable-to-skin Vit. C that one can get. It seemed to me that nothing else I used that was Vit. C had the same effect on my skinIt is a dry powder that comes with a little teeny plastic spoon. Just add it to something, moisturizer with sunscreen, tinted moisturizer, you can try different things. Blend it in your palm and try to make it all mix.If you couldn't mix it really well, and you see some teeny little white clumps of it, just brush them off with your hand.I was wondering after not using it for a long time how long it would be to show effects... That DAY I had people complimenting me on my skin, without my telling them about this at all. That's fun!For the reviewer who didn't like it much and used it at night? Just wanted to say, again IMHO!, that I think you should try it during the day, not at night; it seems that a little bit of sunshine helps the product really work; still wear sunscreen, you don't need to sit outside or change your routine, just a bit of sun will help a lot.The bottle may look small, but it takes a long, long time to use it up.It seems like products are going by the wayside; I would like it if this product never gets discontinued!Thank you to all of you reviewers for all the great advice and time you have spent sharing so that we don't waste as much money as we probably would without you!

I used to use their vitamin C powder before when it was called something else and for the life of me I can't remember what the name was. I didn't use it for a couple of years and decided I wanted to try it again. I was a bit disappointed with the reformulation of this. It makes everything I mix it with turn instantly watery. The one I had before never did this, I could mix with my moisturizer and it would still be creamy. I mix this and it turns it into a water that is harder to apply to my face. I don't feel like the results are as amazing as they were when I used it before either. My skin used to glow with this but I don't see much difference with the new formula. I do like it and have been using it for about 3 months, not sure if I will be repurchasing.

Like many women my age, I used tanning beds with an abandon in my teens and even 20s. All of that UV damage has now surfaced to my skin and this year I had horrible sun spots all over my cheekbones. No matter how much makeup I applied I couldn't get them to fade. This powder has made such an improvement in only a few weeks!Following the advice of some other reviewers, I started with half a scoop of powder in the palm of my hand, then added 5 drops of a hyaluronic acid serum, mixed them together really well, then applied all over my face. I let that dry completely, putting on my eye cream and deodorant, and then coming back to apply moisturizer. Within a couple of days my skin was brighter - kind of like the glow I had when I was pregnant! And best of all, now a few weeks in, the sun spots have really started to fade. I can completely cover them with makeup now. It also worked to reduce some of the old acne scars I had from years back.I wish I knew a long time ago how well this stuff worked! I will be a customer for life!

I read a lot of reviews before purchasing because of the price and the weight of the product. But I use vitamin C in my chemical lab for transport of amino acids and know just how potent of an antioxidant it is based of it's transport mechanism. I have had the unfortunate event of running into a lot of really crappy serums and moisturizers that have a lot of fragrance and oxidize before you're even halfway done with the product or have broken me out the next morning! I have been combining half a scoop of the turbo booster with my Peter Thomas Roth Camu Camu C moisturizer and have noticed a world of a difference in my acne scarring. My skin is smoother, not as oily and the treatment works well with the mild AHA and BHA acids I have in my skin care routine. I know the bottle will last quite a bit of time, and if kept tightly closed and in a dark, cool space, I don't have to worry about it breaking down and reducing in potency too soon. I am pleased with this vitamin c purchase for once in a very long and annoying history of purchases.

I really like this product, I definitely noticed more evenness in my skin after using it for a few weeks! It really works!!

First time ordering and it did not come with a scoop to measure how much to use. I’ve been sprinkling it into my moisturizer
