I would expect a little bit tingling in the beginning as this formulation is even more stimulating than Cellex-c VC serum, theoretically. But, if you can use it around the eyes and has no problem, I guess it might not be that stimulating than I thought...

I have just ran out of my Cellularskin-rx C+ Firming Serum and after reading this review, it is now in my shopping cart ready to be ordered. It does seem awfully expensive but the way I look at it is if it does its job, its certainly worth it as we only have one face and need to look after it!

I've used it and I like it because I prefer a cream or lotion to the watery serums like Skinceuticals. It's got quite a few different C ingredients. I also like their retinol complex.

I'm reluctant too, but my bottle has already turned amber- I've had it for about a week and its been in the refrigerator. I really don't like that it's so unstable.

I think I might try Skinmedica out.

It sounds like you may have gotten a bad bottle. I have had mine for over 6 months in the fridge, and it has yet to turn color!

Yes probably. I picked it up from Harrods- it may have been old stock? Meh.

Nope, they have a no return policy Mad

They stock SC at HQ-Hair so I may go there, and ask if its new stock. I guess I'll have to be forward and say that I will return it if its not clear when I open it....not looking forward to that :/

I couldn't use the Skinceutical Vit C (which has the L ascorbyl version of Vit C) because of its acidity. I wonder if this one is as acidity?

I'm also a little concerned about Ascorbic Acid in a formulation as it is unstable. But if it works for you all, then it mustn't really matter.

Does anybody know where they stock the SkinMedica C complex in the UK? I'm having trouble even finding a website that I can order from Confused

TIA.

So I can't find anywhere in England that stocks SM Vit C serum. I've got a long list of stockists in London but none of them stock this serum, but have the rest of the range.... very strange.

Anywho, I know EDS stocks this, but I am in the UK. Does anybody from EDS forums order from the UK?

While I'm waiting for my order of this to arrive - do you think it would be OK for me to layer this under SkinCeutical's Retinol (0.5%) night cream or would that be overkill? (was also planning on using this at night instead of AM) Confused

It makes the skin feel supple and bright. Like the texture as well.
