I'm trying to decide between two serums. They both have all the same actives/ingredients that I'm looking for. The only ingredients that differ between the two are that:
Serum A has:
Ferulic Acid
Superoxide dismutase
Tetrahydrocurcuminoids
Glutathione
Lycopene
Hesperidin methyl chalcone
L-Carnitine
Serum B has:
Green Tea
Epidermal Growth Factor
Natural Active Peptides
Horse Chestnut Extract
Glucosamine
Centella Asiatica
Betulinic Acid |

I would buy serum A because of the ferulic acid, which is an antioxidant commonly used with vitamin C. |

I third serum A. But, what are you trying to work on with the serums, as that might make a difference. I think if it is angi-aging, then serum B might be better due to the peptides and growth factors in that one. |

I agree with you both, A third option is using both serums one AM one PM and getting all the benefits of each? |

Yes it is anti-aging benefits I'm looking for. |

Hannah would tell you to use them both for anti-aging! I am fairly certain if you could only get one, she would tell you to get the Let's Make Collagen. The CHAS is an anti-oxidant, which is more preventative and the EGF is more "proactive". |

My answer before read what they were is they are both good - just different. One at night - One in the morning.
I use Let's Make Collagen. And I have CHAS too but use it less frequently. |

Hannah is pretty pumped about the CHAS too.... I think she would have a difficult time deciding - I think she'd have to know more about the situation of the skin in question. |

Agree! I alternate my anti-oxidants, and I like the CHAS a lot. It is one of the very few products I will repurchase. I don't see anything visible from it, but I like the ingredients in it. |

I have had both of them as well and both are great. I also like their forum and Hannah. I make some DIY C Serum now but still buy my ingredients from them. |

What is the texture like of the serums? Are they fast absorbing. I have a couple other products I'm using too so it'd be nice to know whether they'd layer OK without a huge wait time in between.
Thanks! |

To me both of them leave a film on my skin. I always say the CHAS leaves an egg white feel on my skin (you know if you have ever done an egg white mask - that is the feeling I get with the CHAS). I get a similar feeling with the LMC, but not to the same extent. I think you can layer stuff over them fine, though. Nothing balls up when I apply other things on top of those 2 products. |
