I have oily skin and when I have used Vit. C I break out. Can you give me feedback in this case?

I have adult acne and this helps a lot-not greasy at all, sinks right in(less is more, just a few drops)and dries matte. then I put moisturizer over it. my skin looks great!!!

It may be upsetting your skin's PH. You need to use an oil free moisturizer right after you apply the Vit C serum. What is your daily beauty regime? Do you break out without the serum as well? You may want to try applying the Vit C very sparingly every few days until your skin adjusts to it.

If you have been using a toner with it stop... and take a look at the cleanser you are using, sometimes when you use to harsh of cleanser it causes your skin to produce more oils... I hope this helps...

I honestly didn't breakout when I used this which is why I loved it. If you broke out from using it then perhaps this product isnt for you :[ or maybe your skin is just adjusting to the product. Give it a couple weeks and if it doesn't go away then it's time to try something new.

It's not oily, but it is viscous. And it is amazing! I'm prone to oily skin and spotty breakouts, and this didn't cause either. A must for any skin type!

The bottle I received is clear as water and I definitely am seeing improvement in my skin. The lines in my forehead or most definitely fainter and the lines going up from my lips are fading too. But I had read somewhere that combining pure hyaluronic acid serum is what makes it all work. As to the vitamin c serum not being clear I would definitely return it and insist on an exchange. Now the brand of vitamin c serum I got was Cosmedica and the hyaluronic acid serum as well. Just make sure you got that brand. But I sure wouldn't use it if it's colored in any way. Sounds like it might have gotten contaminated somewhere. The bottle I received is clear as water and I definitely am seeing improvement in my skin.

I have sensitive skin that breaks out easily when it is irritated by face care products. I can say that this product did not cause my skin to break out with acne.

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.

Are you using too much? I put on a very light application. I have always been prone to breakouts and no longer have them using this product. Maybe your skin is sensitive to some ingredient in the product? Hard to say.

I do not use this sunscreen anymore. It left my face like an oil slick and I broke out very badly.

Hi! I just put little hyaluronic acid inside and mix together but you can use on top on vit c ;)

I've not used any with vit c yet. Only the straight ha and the one with retinol. I like the straight one best cuz it seems to be more moisturizing. The one with retinol, I use on scars and it seems to be reducing them. I plan to try vit c next time. How this helps,

I have found this product very beneficial BUT I have oily skin so I can't really relate to your question.

I have dry/combo skin so I don't know what this would be like for oily skin. It *does* have a moisturizing finish to it. And it is slightly heavy. If I had to guess I would say that it could make oily skin break out. You may get a more definitive answer from someone that actually has oily skin

Yvette~I have had oily skin my entire life, and still am prone to breakouts and I am 42! I use this cream before bed in combination with two other serums, and I have noticed that my skin is NOT oily at all upon waking! I may also wear it during the day if I choose not to wear makeup that day, and I never have any shine issues. Now, I do need to say that my skin is not nearly as oily as it used to be years ago, but this does not create any added oiliness at all. I think you will really love it. Great company too....they did follow up emails with me to see how I was liking the product and was very helpful with my questions. I will definitely be purchasing this again! Hope this helps!

I find that this gets pretty mucky if I reapply often. I have oily skin though so that could be why.

I use a vitamin c serum combined with the hyaluronic acid and let it soak into my skin, then follow up with a mild moisturizer and add a few drops of squalene( which I also get from this site, it's a wonderful and natural product), it does feel a little greasy at first, but the squalene will soak into your skin and give it great added moisture :)

I have acne prone skin and I've been mixing this in with my moisturizers, and it leaves my skin well moisturized and with a nice glow, but not greasy. It doesn't cause any acne for me--in fact, my skin is the clearest it's ever been. However, you should be careful about the amount you use; if you use so much that it can't all absorb into your skin and instead sits on top of your skin, it could attract bacteria and cause more acne.

Hi, I bought this one because it is a "day lotion" with vitamin c BUT I don't care for it. It makes my face feel a little more oily. I just use Hydrate for both day and night.
