Did you guys notice that PCA (formerly Physician's Choice) is also offering Vit C serum and cream AND the price is quite attractive? Has anyone used this before? Appreciate feedback if any.

TIA

Hi Jenny. I've used the PCA 15% and the 20%. I really like them. I've had good results. They seem to absorb readily and I've not had a problem with them turning color or anything. Hope this helps.

Hi RNB68
Thanks for the feedback.

Just another question: have you used the other brands like Cellex C/Skinceuticals/Vivier? Does PCA compares well with these others?

I've tried their vit C cream (phase 16+) and I really liked it! I'm considering purchasing but need to make some enquiries as to the diff in stability/life span of a serum vs cream formulation.

Sorry Jenny. I haven't tried any of those other brands. I got started with PCA after having a peel and found that I really like most of their products. I haven't tried the other brands. I am experimenting with making my own though.

Jenny,

I've tried the other brands (Vivier is my favorite) and the effect seems to be the same. I can't comment on stability of the PCA vit C cream as compared to the other three because I only had a trial size and used it up quite quickly.

Roger, Mabsy. I have converted from Skinceuticals to Vivier some time back and am also happy with the results. It's just that PCA is cheaper so I guess it's worth a trial.

Thks

The only Vit-C serum I’ve tried is the CSRx because they sent me a (generous) sample when I ordered their Polishing Grains, but I have to say that I’m loving it so far. You can click here to read why: http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=4181&highlight=101
