Can I use this with vitamin c 10% and which one do I put on first..

Yes, in my experience you can use both, although I would alter it per day/night. Putting both on your face at the same time is a bit of a waist. Might you want to use them both together, I wonder if the Vit.C than will contradict with the niacinamide, not sure about that.

I would say yes most like product will tell you on the back of the label to combine their products. I mix my key West Retinol with other serum and they work together just fine. I would test a small area at night and if there is redness in the morning just use separately. I hope this was helpful.

I havent used them together in the same application, and honestly I dont see the need, but you can alternate the days with retinol and vitamin c

I don't know the exact differences, but their customer service is top notch and can give you the technical details ... support@joyandkarma.com This product is much thicker in consistency than the Vitamin C one, and I like that I don't have to worry about it dripping off my face so quickly. You can use both products together, but I think they probably work the same if you only want to buy one product.

If you are using for vit. c serum for your face you have to mash it with a mortar. I add the water ingredients and let it dissolve covered for about an hour before I add glycerin or jojoba oil. So I guess my answer is no.

I have not found a product yet that discloses the percentage of the main ingredients we are looking for. I wonder why? We should know how much vitamin A, C, E. in skin care products we would like to use.

First of all, I'm not sure how you are going to dissolve the "C" in your moisturizer. The recipe I follow calls for 1/2 tsp of C crystals and 2 Tbl of vegetable glycerin and 1/2 tsp of distilled water. Two Tbl is probably more than you would use at one time on your face. Not really sure how you would estimate cutting down the amount of C or if that is even advisable.

Apply to a clean and dry face and neck, leave on about 15 minutes, then removes with a warm wet wash cloth and I apply the vitamin C and E hydrating serum and then the face cream. Hope that helps!

My Dermatologist had told me to use Vit C products in the morning and retinol products before bed: if you're not using any retinol products then you can use the vitamin c both am and pm. Generally use everyday, unless perhaps if you're new to these types of products and want to start off every other day; but you'll get the most benefit from daily use.

To be perfectly honest I don't know. I'm not a skin care professional or dermatologist so I think it's better to check with one of those first. I know that there are several products on the market that feature vitamin c serum with Hyaluronic Acid so it can be done. I just don't know chemically, how much Hyaluronic Acid is added. I mixed half the botte into my Garnier Moisture Rescue Gel-Cream. My skin didn't have a bad reaction to it.

I apply my vitamin C serum followed by my moisturizer, then Skinceuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense (allow it to dry) and then apply make-up. Hope that helps!

I had the same question and I got the answer from OZ Naturals... here is what they said : Vitamin C serum protects skin cells from free radical damage, helps with cell turnover, gives skin better tone, helps with discoloration of skin, and gives a brighter appearance to the skin. HA serum is designed more for super hydration, aids in collagen production, gives the skin a more supple appearance, and helps to smooth out fine lines. The HA serum is a thicker consistency, while the vitamin c serum is of a thinner consistency...while both have maximum potency benefits. Both products do work well together, but if you can only choose one, choose the product that your skin care needs would best benefit from. Even though there are a few ingredients that are similar, the two main ingredients of each of those serums do not contain the same amounts. For example, the vitamin c serum is a 20% strength of vitamin c, comprising more than 50% of the entire formula of ingredients. The HA serum also contains 20% strength vitamin c, but only makes up 10% of the total ingredients (this is because this serum is primarily made of HA; it's main benefits are not those of a vitamin c serum.) The same goes for the vitamin c serum...it's main intent is to give you the benefits of a vitamin c serum, therefore, only a small percentage of HA is added for moisture. I hope you have the information you need to make your choice. We hope you enjoy our products. Best Regards, Angela, CE

I talked to their customer service and they said that this serum contains 20% vitamin c. Everyone is so concerned about the percentage of vitamin c in these serums. Many people think that having a higher concentration means a better serum, this is not true. It all has to do with the types of vitamin c you use and how they work on the skin. All I can say is this works for me better than any I have tried so to me, that is all that matters.

If I were you I'd only use a, little bit with the vitamin c serum u don't want to get a chemical burn

I would put on vitamin c follow by B5 then Retin A. As the serum are more easily absorbed so they should be first to apply then follow by cream. And pls do not pat in the serum, u need to massage them in.

I have used both products and personally I prefer the Vitamin C Serums. I am in my mid 60's and found that Dr Denese's Hydroshield does not give me as much staying power as far as moisture goes. I have also found when I put my moisture cream on top of the Hydroshield everything starts flaking off' but this does not happen with the Vit c Serums.
