What is the difference between the Vitamin C serum and the moisturizer? Is this better than the Max for a 65 year old?

Hi Nancy, I put the serum on before I apply a moisturizer. I believe the serum is supposed to correct the skin, while the moisturizer hydrates. I'm not an esthetician, but I first purchased this product after a facial. I think it makes a difference in evening out my skin tone. I am 35, and I haven't used the other products in the line. But I like this one!

A serum is more concentrated, a moisturizer hydrates the skin. I would actually recommend both products because they are very different.

Had a facial and anestathsion used this facial. I've been using it ever since. Never tried the serum.

Sorry, I don't know the difference between this and the moisture. I use this everyday and love it.

Go to the Vital website and see all the ingredients. That is how I decided which product to use for which skin concerns i had.

I would definitely try image skin care Ageless Total Pure Hyaluronic. I've used it for years and wouldn't think of using anything else. I do put another moisturizer on top of it but as the base product, you can't beat this serum. I'm 56

I began using this serum 4 months ago when I turned 60 and have noticed a definite improvement in sagging neck skin. The skin is firmer, lines and sagging are barely noticeable. I don't imagine all creases will disappear but I'll keep using to see. Note, after applying the Vitamin C Serum I wait for a minute for it to completely dry and then apply a collagen building moisturizer. I do this every morning and evening.

I have never used that cream so I can't tell you the difference. I first had this cream applied to me at the Spa at Ritz Carlton and it was highly recommended. I am in my mid 60's so maybe it is good for mature skin.

I have used good moisturizers since I was a teen ager. My skin is very dry. I absolutely don't think it would hurt if you started using something that states is for an older age. I believe the earlier, the better. This is a very good product and the price is excellent.

The cream is more moisturizing than the serum. The serum is good for the daytime. Honestly, I can use this particular cream even during the day, though, because it is not greasy and doesn't make my face shiny at all! Normally, I prefer serums and lotions over creams, but I *love* this one. Hope this helps!

Hi Lisa, sorry for the late response - just realized I got this - I've used various Vit C serums including making my own and this is by far the best I've used. It's strong but not too drying and I have been able to keep the wrinkles at bay and reduce some and it gives me a nice all over glow which makes the wrinkles look better anyway. I ran out of my 20% & now have tried the CSS vit c+e (15% C) & hydra gel & also very good products. I'm 50

By the way, I'm 40 with pretty decent skin (age-wise). Most people think I'm 30. My problem was hydration. So my esthetician, recommended Vital C instead. I prefer that as well.

I am almost 63 years old.....I have no wrinkles.....I use the Active C on my face and they used to produce a retinol product I loved too....this a wonderful product and I use this every night....you will see a difference in the texture and brightness of your skin within a week. You do not need to use a great deal. People do not talk about how great Vitamin C is on your skin.

I don't think there can be much difference. I have the "Naked Bee" 70 per cent organic - vitamin C enriched - and the - To Use directions say - "apply liberally over face and body", so that is what I do and have had no problems this summer so far.

You can use both serums. The anti aging serum contains exfoliants that I find are too harsh. This is just very moisturizing

I am 57 and have only tried the Vital C Hydrating. I like it especially combined with the SPF 50 moisturizing lotion.

I cannot specifically address your collagen question, but at the age of 68, I have used many, many moisturizers over the years. In some instances, I have spent over $60 for a jar 1/4 the size of this FOTE Vitamin E cream and they have not given me the smooth, moist skin result I get with this product. Hope this helps you and good luck.

That is a wonderful question. Our Vit C Serum is the first step to take in face care. It is especially for women in their twenties and even teenagers getting a head start on their complexions. -Lydia Ann La Beaute Pure

The product must be old. I have ordered two bottles of the same Vitamin C Serum and it is clear and has a pleasant order. You should contact the seller and send it back.

I use a moisturizer after I use the serum. The serum absorbs really quickly, my moisturizer has sunscreen and my foundation has sunscreen in it also. This is a great produce. I am very blessed to have tired it's because I love it!
