Actually, I'm not sure which one is better am and pm, but I think DMAE am and vitC pm. From what I read, vitc, once absorbed, works 24 hours, so i think it doesn't matter when to use it. DMAE works about 12 hours, and since you want to see the effect in the day time, it's better to use in am. I might be wrong about am and pm, but the main point is to use them in different time of the day.  |
I remember reading a post awhile back about vitamin C and how even though it stays on the skin for 24 hours, reapplication in the morning is recommended because the C is not stable enough to give maximum UV protection for that long.
i would keep the C in the morning and use the DMAE at night actually. |

jumpingball I grew up in PA so I know what you mean about the humidity! Since I now live in the desert and even our rainy season is nowhere near as humid as PA then I don't think that using HA alone would be an option for me! |

Thanks to Tangal, I learned that Vit. C develop different functions depending on when/how you apply it. To lessen damage from UV exposure (free radicial damage), use Vit. C in the AM. For exfoliation/collagen effect, use Vit. C in the PM, and leave it on skin undisturbed for about 20 minutes to let exfoliation action to complete. You need to leave Vit C. undisturbed, because exfoliation activity requires a low pH. After 20 to 30 minutes, skin's pH arise and it's ok to apply other things.
I am interested in Candy's special too. But I still have questions about the order of layer all the serum on my face. For me, I want to have brighten skin tone, so I will be using Vit. C in PM. I will mix HA with oil at AM, eye'll be seeing you AM and anything needed. But I am so sure about DMAE.
First, although I am already have a lot of skin problems (acne, fine line under eyes, dull skin tone...), is mid 20s too early for DMAE? Will my skin get immuned to it later when I seriously need the effect? Second, how will I use it? Since I will be using HA in the morning, are these steps correct: cleanser-toner-DMEA-(HA+oil)?
TIA!  |

thanks for the C info...I'll start doing it first and waiting at nite to apply others. I'd apply dmae in morning then ur other serums then creams..or oils, I don't think ur making urself immune by using now, hell by time you are 40, they are gonna have a cream you rub on and poof ur 12!!! besides, if stop lines and sagging now, you have alot less to ever work on!! Also just so you know dmae is something our bodies naturally make, as we age it decreases significantly..by 40 by some huge number like 50% or up!!! So it would be like using HA, which your body already makes, so noway could u become immune to something you already make, in my humble opinion.
hope that helps |

I was looking at Candy's DMAE and inquired about it, but she PM'd me and told me that there was no point in using something that my skin is already producing (I'm 26). I use a Vit. C serum, but won't look into DMAE for awhile. |

Thank you ParisTroika for responding. I will consider it. If it isn't suit for me, I can always share it with my older sister.  By the way, I noticed that you are using Candy's VC serum and eye oil (is it "eye'll be seeing you"?). How do you feel so far? Because it seems like we are the same age and have a very similar skin type (combination skin, acne prone), I am wondering if you could share your experience with the product. TIA! |

I am having problems checking out orders from Candy's website. It gives me this error message when I click on 'Proceed to checkout':
The seller accepts encrypted website payments only. You cannot pay the seller through un-encrypted buttons. Please contact your seller for more details.
Have any of you had this message before?
Thanks! |

| Her prices are very good. I placed an order for 3 holiday Quad specials, but the postage was just too high, they charge $30.USD for shipping&handing, so i didn't hit the Proceed to Checkout button. |
