Hi
after some months with Dr.Hauschkas line my skin normalized.. I do need to get rid of some acnescars and beginning of lines on my foreheaed (I'm 30).
I saw an offer of Decleor Whitening(nightcream, tonic,cleansingcream and essence) and was wondering if somebody have any experience of them?
The other choice is to by a C-vitamin serium(15) and a separate eyecream (babor specialeyecream) while I already have a cleansingcream and tonic (dr. Hauschkas).
What do you think?

I should add that my skin is quite dry

I don't have any experience with the Whitening range so I can't comment on that sorry but, regardless, I would probably go with the vitamin C serum actually. Vit C serums can dry out the skin a bit so you would need to make sure that you're using some sort of a moisture booster as well if you feel that your skin needs it. Both Cellex-C and Skinceuticals make a B5 hydration gel that is meant to be used over the C serums. Also, if you're not already doing so then starting to use sunblock would be very important as well.

I'm currently using part of Decleor's Whitening range:
- the whitening essence oil
- vitamin c (comes in a box of 3 and each bottle is supposed to last for 10 days)
- brightening spot cream
- whitening night cream

the vitamin c -- there's definitely an immediate improvement in my skin texture- it looks more radiant and pores are tighter, as for the lightening effect, well, i still need to be more patient since I only started on it a week ago. I like the fact that it doesn't make my skin tighter or dryer, as some vit C products do, in fact i feel that i can go on without any moisturiser as my skin looks glowing.

after the vitamin c, i put on the whitening essence oil to maximise the effect of the whitening range, but only sparingly at night as it feels oily on my combination skin.

then it's the brightening spot cream which has a pleasant light fragrance. again, since it's only been 1 week since i have product, I can't say that my sunspots have lightened.

thereafter, it's moisturiser and sunscreen for me. i will try to post the result in another 2 months to see if it works on asian combination skin.

so far i've tried the much acclaimed skinceutical phyto+ (the green liquid) for 3 months now but it doesn't help at all. the unpleasant smell and colour don't make the experience any better.

i'm keeping my fingers crossed that these decleor lightening products i'm using will work! well even if it doesn't, i know that my skin texture will definitely improve with the vitamin c.

Hrrm actually I don not wear sun block (i always mean to do but then …)My foundation has sun block 15 so that is always something. Do you have any good cream with sun block recommendations?
Hmm difficult with Vit C..My skin got quite bad last year when I used a fruit acid Sad

treatment so I am afraid that I will get a reaction also with the Vit C…

I like Dermalogica Sheer Tint Moisture SPF15 and Kosmea Moisturising Lotion SPF30+. I don't think you can get the Kosmea outside of Australia though. If you do a search on the EDS forums you might be able to find some more recommendations.

Ok I made my decision….

I go for the Vit. C 15 and Dermalogica’s Microfoliant!
The sun factor cream will have to wait for next month otherwise I will have some explanations to do for my husband… Embarassed

But I’m turning 30 on Saturday Sad

so a small preset for myself is in order I guess…

Dermalogica Soothing Protection Spray
Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant
Dermalogica Sheer Moisture ( thank's for the advice Mabsy!)
I will keep you updated ! Very Happy

Good choices! I hope all those products work out well for you. I haven't tried the soothing spray (would love to hear your comments on it once you try it) but I have (or have had) the other products you bought and I like them all Smile
