I started on Vivier 10% about 3weeks ago, together with MSM supplements. I was expecting my skin to achieve that touted 'glow' but ive yet to see any visible improvement. Instead I started to break out recently. Instead of the one or 2 pimples i get occasionaly, the zits im getting this time seem bigger and deeper and take longer to go away (more like acne). Am i sensitive to Vit C? I read that diluting it or using it every other day might be a solution but am i compromising the effects of Vit C if i do that?? Really wish i could be seeing some results from this new regime but none as yet Sad

I've never had problems with vitamin C but have read a few cases in which people did break out from it (though I don't think they had deep cystic acne). Having said that, it may or may not be the vit C. Could you stop using it for a while and continue on the MSM and see if things get better?

Thank Mabs. My bumps hv gone down but feels like the 'roots' are still there. ive been applying some basic zit cream religiously but not doing much...feels like i hv to wait for them to 'infect' again before removing them completely....otherwise im still on Vit C n MSM...really wanna see some positive resuls soon Sad
