I am a long-time user of vitamin C products, currently addicted to the gold standard, which I have been applying every morning. I liked the idea of an overnight C product, and since DCL has a good reputation and is cruelty-free, I thought I would try the C-Scape. I have been using it for the last three weeks.

I have not experienced the grittiness, stickiness, or stinging reported by others. To me, it's more like applying a thick and inert paste, kind of like embalming cream but less stinky. In fact, there's very little fragrance, and definitely not the signature C smell that I associate with C products. Maybe that's due to the formulation, which is supposed to ensure a gradual release of ingredients throughout the night. But I know that C degrades quickly, and I'm wondering whether this has any effective C content at all.

I like the dispenser and the pump has worked perfectly from day one.  It always amazes me when companies ask a high price but then expect customers to struggle with a finicky dispenser, like the last night-time product I've used. Don't cheap out!

I realize this product works for others -- people either seem to love it or hate it. And it hasn't damaged my skin, but there are no apparent benefits.
