Elizabeth Arden Vitamin C ruined my face

I purchased the Elizabeth Arden ceramide serum In February 2021 and absolutely loved it. All of a sudden there is a stock shortage and there still is. The Elizabrth Arden consultant by the name of Karabo at Truworths Elements Rosebank convinced me to purchase the Vitamin C cermide 60 capsules in the mean time while they wait for stock. WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. Started itching so bad on my face and hands. Then I started breaking out so bad, the ****les were so big and so hard, painful too. The itching and the breakout continued. I went back back the store and consulted with her again. She recommended that I use retinol in conjunction with vitamin C both at different times of the day. She suggested that perhaps the impurities are exiting the skin through the breakouts, which is normal. I continued with the serum but nothing changed. She suggested I go on a complete Elizabeth Arden routine which I did, which included flawless future moisturizer, Vitamin C serum during the day and the 8H SPF 50+ Sunscreen, with the retinol in my night time routine. This exacerbated the situation 10 fold. I am not a person who has breakouts or experiences acne but thats what I look like now. I look like I have acne and bad scaring from the ****les. I AM NOT HAPPY. I stopped the Vitamin C and stayed on the retinol routine only, the breakouts subsided. I decided to go back to my previous skin care products and the breakouts subsided. I am still dealing with the scaring that Elizabeth Arden left me with. What a waste of my money, 2K worth of products. If you want pictures, please contact me.
