I apologize in advance since almost every other post seems to talk about vitamin C..but it's undeniably something that is pretty important now in many people's skincare regime. Unfortunately I am still slowly dipping my feet into these kinds of products and am really trying to do my homework before i purchase some Vitamin C.

My skin is not as vibrant as I would like it right now and am seeing dry areas on my cheeks that are well exfoliated but just need a boost. I suppose I would be best suited for about a 10-12% C serum but the question is..what brand? Something that soaks in nicely is a plus and i refuse to buy one that is too drying. is PSF good? I keep reading that Cellex-C is really good.

I didn't like PSF... But I think a lot of people do.

SkinCeuticals have great C serums, plus you can buy sample sizes of ebay. This is my 2nd favourite brand for C serums. ISC Super Serum is the best IMO. It sinks in much better that SkinCeuticals and leaves no shine.

I believe Cellex-C oxidizes very quickly, have not tried it though.

I like PSF and it's one of those that is not as drying as say Cellex-C. Another one I'd really like to suggest is a Vivier one or the CellularSkinRx one - both have a texture that is more suitable to drier skin.

I love Cellex-C High Potency Serum. I noticed increased firmness and better clarity in my skin.

I've used both Cellex C and Skin Ceutical. Though my derm said both are nice, I like SkinCeutical better. You can choose from either the AHA + Vit C or C=E Ferulic; or use them alternatively.

indeed, why is the skinceuticals considered the best line? I've read where Cellex-C is one of the best, but then i read on here that it isn't the best for dry skin. Is skinceuticals drying too?
