Want to replace my Dr. Denese Hydroshield Ultra Moisturizing Serum with your Vitamin C serums, will the switch be compatible?

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.

Dear David,We tried to look at the ingredient list for the product you mentioned in order to compare but did not find one. It would be simpler if you could tell us what skin issues you are trying to treat and then we will be able to advise you.Thank youAlessandra Poletti

I was told by my dermatologist that I could use with my prescription strenght retinol product. However, it would be best to consult your doctor for advice.

I use retinol cream and vitamin c serum. I've used products by skin medica & pevonia and others

Yes I use other srums as long as the serum isn't like a retin a or vitamin c. Those tend to make me photo sensitive. This warms and vibrates and I believe helps the serum go deeper.

Yes Gail, I have been using the Vitamin C Serum on my neck and I am pleased with the results. Hope this helps!

I don't know about replacements though you may try their website. But if you want to save yourself some money, any gel product will do. I use the Aloe Vera gel I purchased at Wal-Mart for $3.00 (16 oz) and it works just fine. As far as serums, I use my own Vitamin C serum (or any other serum I choose to use any particular day) which I purchase online; various outlets including Amazon.com. Look for the higher percentage of vitamin C concentration; I've seen as high as 30% to 35% available online.

Yes, but I prefer niacinamide, it's the cousin of niacin. It works alot better. Just read the ingredientes of your moisturizer and be sure it has niacinamide or b3

What they both do is stabilize vitamin C and extend it's effectiveness. Since they're both antioxidants in their own right they also increase the effectiveness of the serum that way as well. Win, win all around.

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.

People tend to use too much product. I use serum from 1/2 oz dispensers and one lasts 2 months. My esthetician tells me I am using the correct amount. Thing is, the vit C goes bad in about three months. so that is why I buy mine in smaller quantities.

I use a lot of Skinceuticals products, but the serum recommendation I got from a website that highly recommended it, I love it and it works great with my other products from Skinceuticals: the Retinol cream and the day moisturizer. The price was good too.

I think so! I'm a big fan of this product line. Have used many other, more expensive, products and have not been nearly as pleased as I am with this one. I use this serum along with the day and night moisturizers in the Protect and Perfect line.

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

I would probably not use both of them together. Perhaps try the Vitamin C/E Serum for one month and see if you notice a difference. I am on my third bottle so am going on three months and I definitely see a huge improvement, skin is softer, firmer, evened out color...it's really an amazing product and like how it is made fresh for the customer. Just another suggestion...I have recently found Tarte skin care to be wonderful as well...especially the Maracuja Oil.....very high in vitamin C.....I apply it after washing my face in the evening before going to bed....it's worth trying....great company as well as Timeless Skincare...love both of them...have a beautiful day....:) I would probably not use both of them together.

Ann~ Thank you for posting this. I wanted to answer this personally because I can speak from experience. I am a long term user of C E Ferulic from Skinceuticals. It really set the standard for vitamin C serums. While Skinceuticals has a great line, I founded srumtologi to offer products that offered comparable luxury and clinically proven ingredients but without the often shockingly high price tag. Our C serum 22 has 47% more vitamin c and is in a form that does not cause skin irritation. It also has twice as much ferulic acid and is 1/5th the price. I would be honored if you would give our product a try. Vanessa Powers, Co-founder-srumtologi

I've just been using the lift gel. I started about 2 years ago and don't think that I would ever replace it. I'm sorry, I'm not sure about the serum, I've not used it.

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.
