One more question! Do you know if “3-0 Ethyl Ascorbic Acid“ (DDG product) is the same ingredient as “Ethyl Ascorbic Acid” (in Hylamide/Niod product)?

Jane, I’m replying here because we’ve run out of space up there. Glad you were able to figure out the issue.

In reply to Gio. Follow-up: I think I figured out the issue. I was using this right after my PC resist toner, which is high in niacinamide. I was probably going crazy on the niacinamide given that it was among the top few ingredients in both products. When I use the serum alone, flushing gone.

In reply to Jane. Jane, if you get the flushing, I'd switch to something else without lactic acid you can use in the morning. In your case, it's best to use vitamin C in the morning and niacinamide at night.

I’ve been having the same issue with this product- my cheeks immediately flush and remain red for 15 minutes or so. I tolerat other vitamin c products well (Like hylamide C25 booster)- so maybe it’s the combination of C + niacinamide for me. That said, once the redness dissipates, my skin looks great!

Separately, do you use this in the AM? I worry about the lactic acid – I try to avoid exfoliating in the AM but I also like to use C in the AM…and this contains both!
