Hello I'd like to know if a vitamin c serum is likely to help me combination skin?

Any of you guys and gals have any experience? ðŸ˜„😄😄😄

I have combo, acne prone skin. I use vitamin c serum to help with my acne scars and it has definitely helped diminish the appearance of them and overall improve the quality of my skin. What I love most is that it's gentle and not as harsh as some other types of products.

We have the same skin! What serum do you use? I am looking to add it to my regime at night to help repair my skin. Thank you.

When I first tried vitamin C serums I was trying high end ones but I recently discovered a vitamin C serum at Whole Foods that's only like $20 and works wonderfully. In addition to that, I also use a chemical exfoliant from Paula's Choice called 2% BHA Liquid. The exfoliant also helps maintain clear skin and diminish the appearance of acne scars, as well as improve the texture of my skin.

This is the vitamin c serum I use. Target also sells it for $15. I was so surprised because when my skin was at its worse, I figured buying uber expensive skincare would help but after doing that for a while and getting nowhere, I decided to start researching and learning about acne prone skin, how it works, what triggers breakouts, etc.

Wow we have a couple if whole food stores here in the UK and in going to be close to one later on today so I amgoing to look for that product!!

Ahhhh I was going to ask about the Paula's choice products because inhave just been reading online about them.

Would you recommend them? Would it be worth it if I purchased full size rather than sample sizes?

Thanks so much for your help!

The PC chemical exfoliant is a must have for me. When trying a new product, I always buy a full size because I need to try it out for a few weeks to really see if it's working or not.

I have used the PC vitamin c serum n worked great at fading my scars and like Mallory I paired it with her BHA exfoliant and did wonders for my skin - my scars are still there but very diminished and hardly noticeable under makeup - check out my photos on my profile of my progress with the vitamin c serum

Thanks everyone unfortunately though the shop didny have the one posted so I went for nourish replenishing peptide serum! I decided against going for the most expensive product that they had to offer as well!

Thanks Mallory. Me too will be going onto Paula's choice to get the BHA you recommended too. X.

No problem Hunnie. Just keep in mind that everything that works for me may not work for you. And unfortunately it takes a lot of trial and error with finding the skincare routine that best suits you.

You want to look for one that has ascorbic acid as the active ingredient.

I Agree with Rozberry there is a big difference with a vitamin c Ester and a stabilized form of vitamin c, you get the most beneficial ingredients in the stabilized l ascorbic acid rather than a c Ester , more potent antioxidants, wrinkle prevention and brightening effects, and they will always come in a dark glass bottle because it's light sensitive.

This does list ascorbic acid as an ingredient?

Ok that's great then , and it should be in a dark bottle , the Avalon is not a stabilized vitamin c serum
