I asked the ladies in Body Shop for something to make my skin glow before my wedding and also read that Vitamin C would be a good option for this. I started using it about 2 months before my wedding and after about a week the area by my cheeks/chin was itchy and had a burning sensation. I think the Vitamin C was to harsh for my skin. I stopped using it immediately and now only use a little bit once every two weeks. I love the smell and the light texture of the gel but it is just to harsh for me.
