I've read on skincareboard that if you apply enough vit C everyday, the bottle of 30 ml should last you for 1 month. I use skinceuticals CE ferulic for a few months already, 5-6 drops for a single application, , and still have something left. Do I do it wrong?  |

I am also using skinceuticals, 3 drops a day,and I still have 2/3 after one and half month...5 drops a sigle time seems to be too much for me...  |

| I think how much you apply depends on the size of your face and moreso the texture of your Vit C. Some provide better slip and some are thicker than others. I use Proheal every AM with 5-6 drops. I started off with 3 but realized it wasn't enough. On the other hand I only use 2 drops of my Phyto Corrective Gel because it's thicker and spreads a lot better. |

| I also use SC CE+Ferulic on my face and neck (used AOX Serum20 during the height of summer because it's less oily). I guess I apply it more liberally because I seem to go through a bottle fairly quickly -- but maybe not quite as much as one per month. I'll have to keep better track! |

| A bottle of C serum lasts me about 4 months, and I use 4-5 drops for my face/neck every day. I couldn't afford it if I had to purchase a bottle every month. |

i'm using psf 12% emergen C serum but i only use 2 drops on my face at night..it's a bit sticky to use in the morning
haven't seen any significant improvements yet since i've been using it for a few days..i'm wondering if i should use it in the morning as well? |

I use 20% Vit.C from PSF twice a day, 3 drops each time. But It says once a day. I don't know what will happen since I use so much. However, I like its texture especially now it is winter.  Should I reduce this amount? |

I've just started using this vitamin c product and so far so good - I was worried that I would break out.
I use a few drops in the morning - I wanted it to put under my SS.
I don't use it at night as I use Avene retinol at night. |

| I use at least 4 drops for my face (1 per quarter), and then at least 2 drops for my neck. |

My C serums last 3 -4 months. That's why I bang on about stability. The only water based serum I have tried that lasted was Skinceuticals, though my psf 20% is doing pretty well. So far professional solutions/ cellularskinRx 12% PG based C serum is the hands down winner for me me though. 6 months and still clear and colourless  |

I don't see any difference in my skin also. I just use it because I know it's good for my skin. I've just ordered a sample of JB C&C serum, so I'll see, maybe this one will work...  |

Same here. I've used JB C & C, PTR 20%, SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic, Environ C-Quence 1, and ISC Super Serum. I did not really see any improvement from them. |

| I use Cellex C - about 3 or 4 drops a day, with great results. |

!! u've tried quite a few and too bad they didn't quite work out for u..it makes me wonder does vit c really make a difference on anyone's skin? or maybe we're just a few of the unlucky ones who do not see any improvements.. |

Cellex-c, 3 drops ... after spreading it on my face, sometimes i use the back of my hands to massage my face lightly too, hoping to get some of the serum on my hands to get the same benefit  |

| I use SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic and use 5-6 drops also. I have had the bottle for 2 months now. I will probably get another few weeks out of it. The color is still clear. My Cellex-C serums seem to turn orange very quickly, and I decided I will no longer purchase the Cellex-C's Eye Toning Gel (10% C) and their Eye Firming Cream (10% C) because of that and will use my SC CE Ferulic under my eyes. |

that's a great idea!! instead of using my palms (i'd rather to have nicer/smoother skin on the back of my hands than my palms !!), maybe i should do the same and hope for the same benefits on the back of my hands |

It used to last me 3 months. |
