I believe I get a bit dry as I peel after I get it undercontrol. But I definitely get inflamed bumps. With excess C, zinc, copper, and iron can be affected and all can affect the skin. Vitamin C can reduce all of them. Even though it is needed by iron for absorption, more C than iron can deplete the iron, too.
I've been using the coconut/jojoba oil mix for about 3 weeks now, and I still like it. I'm getting good exfoliation of the old, marked skin, and smooth skin in its place.
