| I really need to streamline my skin care routine and would like to use just sunscreen in the morning and one serum and a moisturiser in the evening. I read somewhere that vitamin c and e are a powerful antioxidant combination and combine well with retinol. I have been doing some searching here and on other sites and the only two serums I have found so far with all three ingredients are ISC Pro Heal Serum and Dr Copeland's Revitalizing Formula with vitamin c and e. They both look very nice and I found lots of feedback on ISC, but I had a dissapointing experience with this brand. Super Serum was great in the beginning, but turned yellow before I could finish half of the bottle. Has anyone tried Dr Copeland's serum? Do you know of any other serums that contain all three of these ingredients? |

| Go with Candy's Triple C. I guarantee you that you will not find a Vitamin C product that gives you more dramatic results as quickly as her's. |

Thanks Katee, but the vitamin e and retinol... Maybe I am being too greedy wanting an all in one serum  |

Hi Smoothskin,
Go to Vichy.com and look up the Reti-C Concentrate. It has vit c and retinol.
I don't think it has vit e, though. However, you'd probably have no problem finding a moisturizer with vit e. |

| I am going to be a nightmare here, I know, thanks RMB, but I am still holding out for all three ingredients in one. Since when did I become such a minimalist... |

The fact is that most C Serums that do have retinol don't have enough of it to make much of a difference. And, Candy's Triple C serum does have Vitamin E.
I'm not usually this emphatic, but I'm quite convinced that you aren't going to get better results with any other C serum.
Let us know how your search goes.... |

| Thanks, Katee, I was actually just thinking the same, that perhaps the retinol would not feature in a "proper quantity" in these mix serums. |

| I thought retinol shouldn't be mixed with other vitamins or am I misinformed? |

Hi everyone, I am happy to report that I have found what I've been looking for. It is Vitamin Infusion with vitamins A C & E by DCL (Dermatologic Cosmetic Laboratories). There are not many reviews of this brand on the forum, and I had never heard of it before so I am very excited to see what it is like. I will let you know how I get on with it. If anyone is interested there is a website:www.dclskincare.com
Thank you for all your suggestions  |

I checked their website for a list of physicians in British Columbia who sell DCL products. Unfortunately, all three of them are really far from where I live. Sigh  |

Just wondering how are DCL products
anyway found a product with C,E,A it's called DDF silky C and the c is ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate , it also has some nice oils and some q10 in it
hope this helps, I am going to try it tonight mixed with some tazorac
and yes I like to stream line my routine also
so it's allways sunscreen only am
pm retin-a , or tazorac mixed with an antioxidant ( love skinmedica C , vichy's BI-white) and only moisturize if needed, skip a night or 2 every once in a while |

| Hi Nibu, the DCL serum turned out to be a fiasco. It might have been loaded with antioxidants, but even more loaded with silicon. It had a thick, sticky texture that was never absorbed and it had a horrible sting as it went on the skin. I actually returned this product and they did not seem surprised. |

but i COULD understand why so many cosmetics lines offer everything in a single application - simply to provide their customers with a choice, which one to use, but they should also offer an all-in-one product, as it is almost impossible to do a routine in the morning in less than 1 1/2 hours - with all those serums, waiting till its settled, then the next one...  |
