Hi, what vitamin C would you recommend for sensitive skin? I feel like it might be tingly. Is it worth trying it?

I've had to give up on Vit C as it always irritates my skin. But aha, BHA and retinol keeps my skin very much in check so I don't feel like I'm losing out particularly

I've googled. It says they are acid but I'm guessing no stinging?

I have quite reactive skin - currently using the Inkey List 15% vitamin C (nighttime only) and getting on fine with it. Was using The Ordinary 23% before and it gave me perioral dermatitis!!

I use Garden of Wisdom Vitamin C, it's 23% L-Ascorbic acid, but I have never had irritation with it, plus it's super cheap, only £10 or something.
