This is absolutely stunning. A lightweight gel that does leave a slight glow but doesn't feel heavy at all on the skin. AHC is known for packing it's products with active ingredients, and this is no exception. There's antioxidants, brighteners, soothing ingredients, hydrators, and some ingredients that function like peptides. Not sure if these all can get into the skin to do what they need to do, but it's impressive nonetheless. The texture is weirdly... chunky at first, but it's smooth once it applies on the skin. There's also added fragrance that smells citrusy/floral with a hint of alcohol, but doesn't linger on me. Absolutely fantastic.
