Using the 20% vit c dupe for Skin Ceuticals - it smells similar "hot dog water" but is clear. I tried the SC years ago twice - it oxidized quickly both times, one time turning amber brown. This is slightly thicker than water and is in a pump. I keep it in the bathroom and it hasn't turned at all yet. I am using it on Angie of Hot and Flashys suggestion. I tried her launch as well. While she's figuring out her formulas (and I ran out) I bought timeless on sale, TBD on if I'll go back to Angie or not. My sensitive combo skin got irritated with Angie and I had a little bit of issue with layering /pilling - but loved the easy and one bottle system - timeless has a lot of layering and waiting if you're doing the same level of ingredients as Angie's. That being said, I'm at 20% C and no issues with my skin and it doesn't pill. The coQ10 had me a little red for a bit. I also use tretinoin 1-2x per week.
