Hi
Can anyone recommend an eye cream with some Vitamin C in it? I love Skinceuticals stuff but Cellex-C looks good as well.
Thanks

Hi
Do you think I should use three different products for under the eyes.
I was thinking of the following under eye routine...
AM
vit c serum
vit c cream with spf
PM
vit c cream without spf
Thanks

| Anyone know the percentage of Vitamin C in the Murad Essential-C? I know Cellex-C has eye creams with 5% and also 10%, but Murad doesn't say how much C? |

| I use a c serum - C+ Firming serum. It's a 12% concentration (cellularskinrx.com) and I put it under my eyes without any problems. However, it is a serum, not a cream. |

No idea but I doubt that it would be that significant. I also wouldn't rely on it too much anyway. Granted, it's an air-tight container (air = bad for vit C) but it's not a clear container (ligh = bad for vit C). I'd go with a vit C serum and use the Murad over it to give moisture and SPF. |

I recently received a sample of this serum amd really like it. Do you think its as good a firming product as something with DMAE in it? |

I really don't know. C has a lot of research to back up claims that it encourages collagen synthesis. I do not know what exists out there to support DMAE. I'm a bit of a skeptic so until I see a pretty large amount of data to support skincare claims, I pretty much ignore them. I love the C+, too, Nana.  |

It may not be scientific but the products I have used with DMAE in them have 'lifted', given a toned feel to the skin.  |
