I received a little sample tube of this product, and so far I am really liking it.
In the past, I've found that my face feels sticky when I've applied vit. C serums. That, or I have broken-out; Vivier serums do this to my skin. I believe that Kate Somerville's Total Vitamin Antioxidant Complex is ideal for those whom have combination-oily skin (such as my own).
I've only used this product three times, but definitely noticed an immediate "firm" sensation to my skin, and my pores were barely visible. Keep my skincare very simple, and wore B. Kamins Matte Moisturizer SPF15 over-top.
Will have to set-aside some $$$, and invest in a bottle soon, as the sample won't last me long. |

Although, I find the price of the KS serum to be quite reasonable in comparison to other C serums.

Unfortunately, no, I don't know the percentage. I've tried to find the info. on-line, but to no avail. Guess one will have to contact the manufacturer. |

I have to make the time to do that. I will be busy this week and looking forward to the long weekend. 
In July, I'm involved with a political party and I will be busy preparing for one of our future Prime Minister visit here in the (Toronto) GTA. |

After reading this post (I would like to know the percentage too!), I emailed the KS rep I had been in contact with for my other questions asking her this question. I'll let you know if I hear anything back.  |

So I heard back, but unfortunately they aren't able to disclose the percentage.
Following is their comment:

| Our active ingredient is called Vitagen. We are not able to disclose the actual percentage; however we can confirm it is an active ingredient. Vitagen Complex is the highest performing stabilized complex of Vitamin C available. |
I may not know the percentage, BUT I do know that I like this product as much, if not more, than the Vivier 20% I was using. |

That is great that you had the time to check it out. Thank you.
I really need the facts before I switch brands on this one. |

I got a sample of this from a KS rep. She was very nice about sending me samples!
My initial thought when I used it was that the smell was too herbal/floral for my taste. You can definitely smell the camomile and lavender in the product. If you love those, then you'll like putting this one on. I personally don't really like these scents, but it is pretty invigorating!
As for the effects from using, I'll have to wait a couple weeks and see. |

Thanks for your review. This brand is very expensive, I hope to get some samples from EDS.  |

| I love the texture of this treatment. Absorbs into the skin really quickly. I have been using this every morning with deep tissue repair and the combination is working great for my skin. For those with acne prone skin like me, no worries! I break out easily and this is safe! In fact all kate somerville products that I have tried are great! true to the hype! |

| I like the total vitamin. It does sink right into the skin which is nice. I love the scent as well. I haven't used it consistently enough to see any results. I know the bottle says AM but I wonder if any of you guys use it at night as well? |

| I have tried this, its smell & texture is nice but I suspect it cause breakout on me, so I stopped it, hope it works out better on other ladies. |

Does anyone still use this complex  I'm thinking of getting the antioxidant serum instead of my Vit C serums which are too sticky for me. |

I know that Ole Henriksen makes a nice one, supposedly...
I really like Kate's Eradikate zit treatment. Really makes a difference in a short amount of time, so I'll consider this vitamin treatment. |
