Not really sure, but if you look a little closer at the ingredients, I think they are made with different type of Vit. C. The super C is a lot thicker, I think it has glycerine based where as the other isn't. The Vit. C have an exfoliated property and the other doesn't. Personally I think the Vit. C feel better on my skin that the super c. Think they both are good products, stick whatever works for you.

Dear Zoe, Firstly thank you for being a fan of our Vitamin C serum. I will try to answer your question in the space provided. The Vitamin C serum uses L-Ascorbic acid , the only form of Vitamin C with exfoliation properties. It is an acidic form of vitamin C. This is important for rejuvenation of the skin to take place and for collagen synthesis to occur. It also has excellent antioxidants which prevent UV damage. When dealing with aging skin one needs COMPLETE collagen synthesis to occur. This is why we developed the Super C serum together with Dr Sivak, our scientist. As she explained to us, Vitamin C is an excellent ingredient but if one wants to change the physiology of the skin to that of a younger one, it is not enough, other essential ingredients are needed. The Super C has these other ingredients such as Epidermal Growth Factor( for cell proliferation), Marine Kelp ( helps to heal skin and create collagen),Hydrolyzed Collagen ( active peptides) and many more. The Vitamin C used in this formula is MAP, which is non acidic and therefore great for sensitive skin, but does not have exfoliation properties. Super C is also excellent for damaged and scarred skin as it has many healing properties. Using both serums together, you will have all the ingredients necessary to completely rejuvenate your skin. Following this regime we recommend using the Super C twice a day and then the Vitamin c once a day, instead of the SuperC every third day. I hope this has helped you. All the best Alessandra Poletti

I have not used the professional Vit C serum but I am very happy with the 20% serum

Personally, I have used both and the Natural C works great on dark spots- much lighter, but not gone....yet. The Super C helps with wrinkles- not gone yet either.

I agree it's strange there's no percentage listed. No matter what, it's an important piece of info consumers would like to know. I've been using CSI's 12% C serum and may stick to using it.

I believe the cellex-c I ordered in October 2013 had the expiration date January 2014. I opened up the advanced c serum, and it was a very yellow color. I sent it back with the latter explanation and received another bottle with the exact same date. This was the first time I ordered through Amazon....and the last time.

Thank you for the great question! Our Vitamin C serum and Salicylic Acid are really totally different products. Salicylic Acid is a great anti-inflammatory agent and great for reducing the redness associated with acne. ULTIMATE VITAMIN C will improve hyper-pigmentation and give your skin a healthy glow, while providing protection against future damage. The two products would actually compliment each other very well. I would recommend you purchase our ULTIMATE VITAMIN C along with a 20% Salicylic Gel Peel by Perfect Image. You can also find it here on Amazon. Please, let me know if you have any other questions. Jamie - Azure Naturals Thank you for the great question!

TruSkin Naturals Vitamin C Serum is an advanced formulation that uses Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate Vitamin C (SAP), which is a much more stable form of vitamin C than L-Ascorbic Acid, which is highly unstable. Because our SAP formulation is so much more stable and potent than the older L-Ascorbic serums, we are able to provide a guaranteed 2-year shelf life without adding any harsh preservatives.Our lab formulates fresh batches of our vitamin C serum every week. On average our bottles sit on the shelf for less than 7 days before being purchased and shipped. For this reason we offer a simple expiration time of, "2 Years from Date of Purchase", and "1 Year from Opening".

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.

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 have been using Active-C for normal to combination skin for the past two years. I think it is the best product I have used for my skin for a number of years, and several friends have asked about the glow and fresh look of my skin. I would recommend this product.

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.

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

I read somewhere that skinceuticals has a patent on the pH of their active L-ascorbic acid. The patented pH is 2.5-3.0, and so this serum has a pH in between 3.0-3.5 to prevent patent violations. According to the article, this means that the product with the higher pH will be slightly less exfoliating.info from https://www.futurederm.com/2012/02/15/are-other-vitamin-ce-serums-as-effective-as-skinceuticals-ce-ferulic-cosmetics-solutions-timeless-skinmedica/

I am almost 47 and I started using this vitamin C serum and I can tell a difference I've been using this for over a month now, I love it

I actually use both. Apply the Vit C serum let it dry then apply the HA serum. I treid both and found that the Vit C was amazing at getting rid of and lightening spots but that the HA serum worked better at getting rid of wrinkles. The HA serum is thicker and takes longer to dry while the Vit C is light and thin and dries super fast. I love them both.

Can't really tell the difference in the effects. I have only used the Super as it contains 4 times more of the oleander extract which I believe to be the most important ingredient. I like the stuff, face feels great. Have not used long enough to comment on the wrinkle reduction, but face looks and feels smoother.
