can you use it with vit. c serum?

I used this product as a base for all other moisturizers etc. I cleanse and tone my skin first, apply a layer of cellfood, once dry apply vit C serum and I finish with my moisturizer and sunscreen.

I would not use this as a toner. A toner is supposed to remove any final traces of dirt or cleanser on the skin, making way for the serum to penetrate well. I would wash the skin, use your toner, apply the vitamin c serum, then apply your moisturizer!

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

I am not quite sure, but don't believe it does act as a serum. I would think that you could use it on top of your serum.

The product I reviewed is clearly marked "ascorbic acid." Most ascorbic acid contains l ascorbic acid (the active part of vitamin c) and D ascorbic acid (the inactive component of vitamin c). If you intend to use this as a drink the ascorbic acid product described will be utilized and recognized by the body as any other equivalently potent vitamin c source. If you intend to use this to prepare a skin serum it is my belief this is an excellent product for this purpose. Vitamin C is very unstable. I had to stop using commercially prepared serums because they would oxidize before I could use them. If you research this further you'll discover oxidized vitamin C serums, or serums that contain a solution of vitamin C that is too strong will do more harm than using chemically inert compounds on the skin. Check out Essential Day Spa thread on this subject-you'll probably learn more than you want to know. I hope this helps. Bonnie

You absolutely can; however, the new sets are the same price as the refills so it's really up to you. No reason to buy a new one if it works just fine. We chose to buy a new set since the old one started leaking vit c. Still love the product though! Works really well.

The best way to use AVIZAGE topical vitamin c is to apply the serum before putting on moisturizer and then applying makeup after the moisturizer.

www.raysahelian.com/collagen.html This is the study I read before I purchased. I'm a medical professional but I admit I know NOTHING about collagen. So...... because that's just how I roll, I read several studies before purchasing. I do use Vidi vitamin c serum in conjunction with the collagen. It is effective but I really, really don't like the size of the tablets. Hope this helps.

First of all, I'm not sure how you are going to dissolve the "C" in your moisturizer. The recipe I follow calls for 1/2 tsp of C crystals and 2 Tbl of vegetable glycerin and 1/2 tsp of distilled water. Two Tbl is probably more than you would use at one time on your face. Not really sure how you would estimate cutting down the amount of C or if that is even advisable.

I have read that a serum works well too. I started out using vitamin C and it does not irritate my skin. But I'm using the smallest needle so I can't speak for the larger sizes. I will agree that after the third try, I did notice what I thought was dryness so after reading these comments I'll convert to a serum. I'm thinking it might work better for me now. The alcohol cleanser probably dries skin too.

Yes you can. This is just a serum that can be used with any other creams you currently use on your face and neck.

Hi! You can certainly use iS Clinical Active Serum with a retinal/retinol product. I would recommend using both at night and alternating them because both types of serums are very active and could irritate your skin. Also, please keep in mind that you should always, always use an SPF when using any of these products as they can increase sensitivity to sunlight. Healthy skin is happy skin! :)

i use it after i use rose water, as an astringent, lightly tapping a small amount of c serum onto my face, let it dry for a minute, then add my moisturizer...love it!

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
