Does anyone know how this differs from 'Vital C Hydrating Anti-aging Serum'? Thanks!

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 have both. The vital C is what I prefer. I am 64 years old but have pretty good skin. The Ageless is pretty drying, but the Vital C is more moisturizing. I hope this helps. In general, I think the Image products are wonderful......

This contains more anti aging ingredients, whereas Vital C is primarily vitamin C based. This is a colorless serum with little or no scent that absorbs almost instantly into the skin, leaving it ready for the rest of your regime. Vital C has a lovely scent and is a bit creamier. But the primary difference is the number of anti aging ingredients packed into Total Anti Aging Serum (hyaluronic acid, stem cells, multi hydroxic acids, etc). In other words, this is a more effective anti aging serum for aging skin.

I'm not totally sure what the difference is. My facial gal recommended the ageless total anti-aging serum and I have used that for the year and a half I've been going to her. I am 66 and my skin is firmer and tighter since I've used this. I am trying the Vital C hydrating one right now just to see if there is a difference and at this point I don't see one. Sorry I couldn't be more specific as to the differences. I love the Image Skincare products. My skin has vastly improved since I started using them.

According to my estetician, this is less hydrating and if you really have wrinkles. The Vital C is more hydrating and for a person with less wrinkles.

I didn't find it old or outdated...the expiration date is 7/2015. It is a serum so it's a clear solution that is slightly thick. I just add one drop of it to my Vit C serum/moisturizer. I use it morning and night and I love it! I have seen a big difference in my skin.

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.

sorry no idea... however I will say my skin is looking tighter since I've been using life extension phytoceramides.. I'm on my second bottle... it takes a while and the difference is subtle but evident

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 was wondering that myself. It doesn't say on the bottle. I do like it a lot though and I noticed my brown spots on my face are fading quite a bit now. I use it every evening under my peptide night cream. So far it's doing a great job and I would by another one when I finish this one. I hope this helps some. Oh, by the way,perhaps you can get in touch with the manufacterer to find out how much C is in it.

I think it is 5%. I love this serum. It has really helped my aging face (67). We live in Florida, so I am always looking for ways to keep my skin hydrated and healthy. I'm a big believer in HA. This goes on smoothly and doesn't impact my moisturizer, SPF or make up...

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.

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 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 crème, 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. I have been using the serum for about a month.

I have not ordered it yet, so do not know - only have seen the online descriptions of both products. The one with the labels in Japanese seems to contain Paraben (which Americans are squeamish about) and has fewer ingredients. The Anti aging lotion (version sold by ULTA) has a little retinol in it and some vitamin C

The best response I can give is in the attached link that can be copied and pasted into your browser: http://www.m.webmd.com/healthy-beauty/features/beauty-smarts-serums-jan13?page=2This link explains better than I can the difference between serums and moisturizers. I use both. I have decided, however, that I prefer the Skin Ceutical B-5; it glides on more smoothly.

Yes I use both, put my vitamin C serum on first. Skin looks and feel great.

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.

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.

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!

They are the same thing, but the " essential serum " has a moisturizer in one chamber and the recovery complex in another and your suppose to mix them together before applying. I started buying just the recovery serum and use my own moisturizer. Works just the same if not better ;)
