Hi
I have been reading the forum postings on Vitamin C serums (in particular Skinceuticals)and I'm really confused as to where to start ???
My skin is normal/combo with two feint broken capilaries under my left eye. I have been reading the great reviews of these products and how they improve the condition of your skin but not sure whether I would need vitamin 10 or 15 or C + E or C + AHA?
Can anyone help? I'm 25 and haven't started using any anti-aging products yet.
Thanks |

Do you have sensitive skin? Are you prone to getting broken capillaries in general?
I think if you haven't tried vitamin C serums before then you should start with a lower concentration and work your way up. I would therefore go with the Serum 10 (which is what I started out with actually). |

Hi Mabsy
No its not really sensitive - it can get dehydrated though and I do also get deep pores on my chin/jaw line during that time of the month. I have only noticed the broken capilaries in the last 6 months and I'm now wearing sunscreen every day to try and prevent this. |

If you're sure that your skin can handle a higher concentration then maybe go with the C+E? I think that one has about 15% vit C but it also has some vit E to help with skin healing (and I think to some extent with blood circulation). |

Thanks for the advice re: Vitamin 10 and also C & E. I'll do my research until I find one that looks like it will help my skin. |
