I love Skinceuticals but its really expensive. I have 2 types. One with Vit E & Ferulic Acid (good for very dry skin) & One with AHAs (good for all skin types except sensitive).
I've had really good progress with my discoloration. But also using their Retinol & Sunscreen.

I love ole henrickson's truth serum, but once I'm done w/ that I really want to try Paula's choice vitamin c (a little cheaper & have heard great reviews).

I just started using Kiss My Face's Ester C serum and I'm in love with it. Definitely seen an improvement in my skin's texture. It was $20, so not a bad price either.

@Lynn M. You are welcome. Be careful because Vit C is so unstable which means it oxidizes easily rendering it ineffective. So make sure the bottle is dark & preferably with a pump. Mine came in a dark amber bottle with a dropper. I quickly transferred it to another amber bottle with a pump. And I keep it in the box & covered when I'm not using it. Its always smart to do your research first.

FYi: You need to keep it away from air & light.

@Lynn M. If you try the Ole Henriksen Vit C Oil, get a sample first. Some find the scent pleasant. And even though it smells ok at first, it leaves a lingering fishy smell. I've heard of others complaining of this, yet some don't notice it. It was a deal breaker for me. And since I already had a Vit C serum I liked, I just stuck with my Maracuja Oil for additional moisture when I need it.

I would also like to add that the truth serum is Ester C not L ascorbic acid it way less potent ,but if you have sensitive skin it may be a better choice ,but if your looking for better anti aging ingredients stabilized ascorbic acid is a better choice

Thanks Traci and Marleen, taking the info on board. It's so difficult to know what will suit me best without trying first. Can hopefully get some samples. Really appreciate you taking the time to help me x
