Hey beauties so I found this article that talks about vitamin c serums and how ester-C is actually better for sensitive skin types than regular vitamin c - it seems pretty legit so I wanted to get some educated opinions from you beauties with experience in these things - here is the link: http://oneloveorganics.com/blog/2013/03/ingredient-spotlight-vitamin-c-ester/
Please read it through and lmk your thoughts - I personally use a vitamin c serum by Paula's choice that is said to contain 15% vitamin c during the day and at night I use an ester-C cream - I'm getting great results either way but just wanted to see what you beauties thought about this topic - thanks!

Dr. Perricone makes an excellent Ester C, but yes..they are expensive. I have to really watch how I use C and bounce between the 2 or I get irritation. Ester C is the perfect way to counter that. Great article. :)

Thanks for the tip Roz - I actually had no idea what the difference was until I read this article but was already using both but knowing this now I'm glad that I am :)
