| Hi linda, sounds like the more vitamins the better. the serum i am using now has C E and ferulic acid. i haven't heard of A being in a serum. from what i read, A helps with cell regenaration and immunity and is nourishing, so sounds like you have a super serum there. btw, which brand is it exactly? |

Hi skincareaddicted,
it sounds good to me too! so i am going to order one when i finished mine. it's called antioxidant youthful essence from henry tianus. Been using the previous version before they added vitamin A and am pleased with the result but recently they added vitamin A so let see when it tried the new one. |

sportygirl--i have been wondering about ISC. i have only ever used vitamic c serums from DHC (wasn't that impressed) and skinceuticals. skinceuticals suits me well, but and i am a sucker for new lines. 
linda carter--i googled Henry Tianus...seems to be available in the UK exclusively. still, love the nourishing factor of vitamin A--my cheeks get dry a lot and i need all the cell regeneration i can get! 
have you both used skinceuticals serums before? if so how do they compare with ISC and Henry Tianus? |

| I use Proheal, Super (alternating) and Active Serums. I only use Active occasionally and only on my lower face so as to not aggrevate the rosacea. |

Nice formula. And other than the alcohol I'm really impressed with the items. The Vit A (retinol palmitate) is pretty far down the list, so don't think it would cause a reaction in more sensitive types.
( m, look at me jotting down the list to try to recreate this, lol - without the alcohol) |

I just received the item yesterday, only been using it once. It is really good! You are right Candy8865, it seems quite gentle on sensitive skin (my skin is slightly sensitive and it does not cause me any problem at all). I asked the company why there is alcohol there, they said that they used the organic rye alcohol for the herbal extract/tincture.
Skincareaddict, i think they send the products to some countries when you ordered it online.
i like to see how it goes after using for few weeks whether it is better than without vit A. |

| I was using antioxidant youthful essence previously and it was very good. So I placed an order for a new one, hope to get it soon. i found henry tianus products are extermely good, but it's not cheap. I stopped using them for few months when I was on maternity leave (can't afford to use the whole range), now I am back to work so I would like to get back to my routine but this time I also would like to try few other different brands. |

So, Linda, is that a Henry Tianus serum that you just started using? And, Sarah, have you tried the product that Linda is talking about?
I am just wondering since you both appear to always post on EDS from the same computer.... |

I am at the internet coffee at Totenham Court Road in Central London at this moment waiting for my next job interview 1 pm. I am looking for a new job after came back from maternity leave and found my job is not as good as before. At this moment, I am no longer using Henry products since I was out of work for a while. I just ordered one of his product that I used before, so should be with me within days I suppose. Linda, are you also in this coffee shop right now?
If yes, let's have a chat. I was sitting close to the window, 3 rows from the left in brown shirt and trouser.
Mabsy, it will be nice if my honesty will be rewarded by selecting me as the winner for this week's coupon. I will certainly use it since I am now on the road back to my skin care routine and in the mood of trying different brands.
Thank you! |

Well, then that is quite a coincidence because your history of same IP usage extends to more than just your current IP address. So, you might have yourself a stalker because that tells me that you both use the same computer wherever that may be (not just the same internet cafe say, as they generally don't firewall them off) I think you will agree that ordinarily that would look suspicious, and even more so when ~30% of your posts and Linda's posts are about Henry Tianus products. So you can see where I am coming from.
No can do on the voucher I'm afraid my dear - the draws are random, but good luck with the job interview |

Oh dear, I hate to be suspicious, but I remember there being a spate of Henry Tianus raves by a couple of new posters on the UK handbag.com forum some time ago.
If this is the same kind of thing, then I do wish people wouldn't do it. Puts me right off using the products. |

I know, majorb. This is what has me worried as well. I am all for genuine reviews but anything fishy puts me off trying them straight away. I just realised that this is not the first time we've had Henry Tianus and Linda/Sarah "questions" here: http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?p=69812 |

That list of top products from the Independent was also quoted on handbag.com by the enthusiastic Henry Tianus new posters, Mabsy.
As much as I love to read reviews on products, I'd only ever take notice of those written by genuine posters. |
