I know Viver serums are considered amongst the best but I am confused about which to go for:
Vivier 10/20
Viver C+ E
or Viver CE Peptides?
I am late 20s with a few fine lines around the eyes and acne scarring
Thanks! |

C + E is supposed to better than C alone. That's because they're supposed to act synergistically, so you get a whole-greater-than-sum-of-parts effect happening (you can do a google search for something like "c e synergy" and get some scientific results describing this), so people like to apply them together.
Whether C + E + Peptides in this product is better than C + E, I don't think there's any evidence either way.
Personally, I'd go with a Cosmetic Skin Solutions serum (you can do a search on Amazon), and save the $80 dollar difference or whatever it is for something else. I haven't used Vivier, but I've used Cellex-C and Skinceuticals serums. I couldn't tell a difference. Hope you find a satisfying product. |

I actually would recommend Vivier's Serum 5. You could use it everywhere including around the eyes. It's a great "entry" vitamin C. Once you use it up, I'd then suggest you try the Serum 10.
There's a risk of breakouts with the other serums you asked about. Plus at your age, you really shouldn't need to use peptides, at least in my opinion. |

I have tried Viver CE Peptides, and there is nothing special about this serum at all. In fact, I have not even finished using it as it was somewhat tacky.
And peptides did not seem to have any additional benefits to the skin.
And I agree with RMB, there is no difference between the Cosmetic Skin Solutions serum and the Viver one. |

| I can't say one is better than the other but vivier smells fabulous. |
