Hi Lydia~ Thank you for posting your question! Although srumtologi C serum 22 was designed from the ground up to compete with any vitamin C serum on the market, including the two you mentioned, we use a different form of vitamin C than the L-ascorbic acid utilized by Skinceuticals or Obagi. L-ascorbic acid has very solid clinical research supporting its use in topical skincare products however it is inherently unstable and can easily become pro-oxidant. When this happens the serum can turn from clear to yellow, tan or brown. Some manufacturers color their solutions orange to hide what's going on. To avoid this we chose sodium ascorbyl phosphate as the vitamin c in our product. Adding a phosphate to ascorbic acid more than doubles the level it can survive in. L-Ascorbic acid is quite acidic with a natural pH of around 3.5. This acidity can often cause irritation to the skin. Our formulation is more alkaline and is standardized at a pH of 8.9-9.1. I hope this helps. We appreciate your interest in our groundbreaking serum. srumtologi Customer Care

I would suggest that you return it. This product does absolutely nothing. I thought I would save some money and try it, since my regular Vitamin C serum is pretty spendy. Now my face is full of dark spots that I never had before when I used Skinceuticals!!!

I have tried this and the product from real chemistry and like the 2nd one better. Cure irritated my skin a bit. The better one worked really well on an Indian friend of mine - she looked lighter. Good luck.

I'm not sure. This product was recommended by a professional (dermatologist). The ingredients are supposed to be completely safe. Maybe you can visit the obagi site for information on the ingredients. I was also told to use these products under close supervision of either a beautician or dermatologist. Good luck, and I hope this answer was helpful.

Obagi cleanser, then the Obagi C Serum, then the Obagi Exfoliating DayLotion.

I do not have any spots or hyperpigmentation on my face, so it must be working. I am very fare and have freckles and hyperpigmentation on my arms and hands. Plus I am 65 years old. I also use Obagi serum. I hope this information is helpful.

Dear Christian - the ratio of Vit. C serum to the total amount in the 1 oz bottle is 20%. As 1 oz equals 28.35 grams, 20% of that is 5.76 grams. If you multiply 5.76 grams by 1000, you have 5,000.76 milligrams (mg) of Vitamin C serum in the bottle. The rest is Vit. E and Hyaluronic Acid. I have used H. Acid by itself and I like it. However, this product by Amara Organics is even better as the addition of the Vit. C serum seems to have made this product much better for my skin. I have been using it for only two or three weeks and it is too early to pass a definite judgement on its effectiveness. However, so far it seems to be quite good and I am very happy with it. I hope this helps. Cordially, Gabriella

L ascorbic acid needs to be at ph 3.5 or lower in order to penetrate skin, also you would need much more hyaluronic acid than is good for the skin to bring the ph up to 7.

I don't know, but I have used this serum for 14+ years. I am 64 and everyone thinks of me more like late 40's, at times 50 ... I use several of the Obahi products that were recommended to me by a dermatologist,

I am 76 years young and I find this product made a big difference to my skin. I have people ask me what I am using, even my hairdresser told me my skin looked so great she asked me what I have been using. I use only Obagi products

So far all products I have bought from Watts have not broken me out and I have sensitive skin and was using products from dermatologists and plastic surgeons offices for many years, now I'm happy with my Watts products that I use in combination with the Obagi line. From Watts I use the 100% hyaluronic acid solution with copper, Watts Signature with kojic, salicylic and glycolic acid and the one your asking about for about 6 months with good results.

Hi, Thanks for asking. We are using L-Ascorbic Acid in our serum to enjoy also its gentle exfoliating properties. Have a great weekend, F. Poletti

Not for sure, I did buy the serum in the pump. There containers are made pretty cheap for the price you pay, I tried it out, and honestly wasn't impressed with it. Obagi has always been my savior for pigmentation, and it does work!!! I am living proof of that!

Well my sister and myself are using both this product in conjunction with the B5 gel. First use serum let it absorb the n the gel. Both these companies seem to have the same ingrediants. I just purchased another serum from Delfogo RX and that bottle contains 22% C 8% Ferulic and 2% E. SO I will check this one out as well. Highly respected company as well. I always go online and do my research. Good luck!!

i really like it. i was comparing it to trish mcavoy's serum and while i don't know how much hyaluronic acid is in either product, i do notice it is it is higher on the list of ingredients of this product.

I have been using the serum for about a month. I do see a difference in the texture of my skin. I am 59 years old, and have been diligent with keeping my skin healthy, including trying to reduce lines and wrinkles. I use the serum with a collagen crme, sunblock, retin A and hydroquinone (not necessarily all at the same time). I cannot say for certain that the serum is the sole reason for my healthy skin, but it is a contributing factor. I bought this serum since it was a 20% Vit C and it was the best price. Some folks have complained of the smell, but I don't notice any bad odor from the serum. I hope this helps.
