Ooh awesome compilation!! Love a good vitamin C based treatment ♡ have used all of the body shop's vitamin c range, looove their glow boost moisturiser it is like orange sorbet!!
Trilogy's energising mist is one of my faves, love the tingly bubbly sensation it provides, so invigorating!!
I am eyeing off Ole Henriksen's vitamin c range and Clinique's vitamin c booster, that's definitely on the wishlist.
This is so needed now that Summer is over
Pigmenetation is my mainPigmentation is one of my main skin concerns, need to start using more products containing vitamin c.
Oooh I love myself some Vitamin C!!!
The Ordinary vitC serums are my faves. Also do enjoy EA vitC capsules.
They all seem great! Really need to start using vitamin C in my skincare routine it seems.
Oooh. Love me a Skin Physics mask.
I think it was Trilogy that had a vitamin C serum and it was really good! It absorbed so quickly and it left my skin looking brighter
I’d really love to try the Ole Henriksen. I’ve heard so such about the range, and I’d love to try it for myself.
My skin loves Vitamin C and I felt privileged to trial the Dermalogica eye serum trial !
I love the EA caps, I trilled them last year and have been using them ever since, the benefits have been awesome
Love Vit C serum. Thanks for the infor,
I've used the clinique vitamin C , it has made my skin a bit brighter but has had no effect on pigmentation unfortunately.
I am obsessed with EA caps but everything else looks great as well!
I'd love to try the andalou vitamin c bb cream with spf30!
I really must admit that vitamin C is not something I use in my skincare. I really should give some products a try that contain it thought.
Unfortunately for myself, I can react to Vitamin C & all their derivatives, so I have to be careful if & when I incorporate a Vitamin C based product into my beauty routine. I have found I can incorporate it better in a mask form, rather than a cleanser or moisturiser (there's 2 Andalou masks I can use without my skin going haywire).
All of these Vit C products sound great!
I've only started using Vitamin C products in the past six months. At present I'm using the La Roche-Posay Vitamin C10 Serum and the Elizabeth Arden Capsules. I also have the Skin Physics Vitamin C Mist Toner.
I have never tried these Vitamin C products.Clever brightening products to add for beauty routine.
Andalou is the only one I've tried.
The Andalou sounds interesting. I must try and work more vitamin c into my beauty routine.
If it doesn’t say the % of vitamin c, forget it!!
I’ve been using drunk elephant and i love it
I haven't used vitamin c for a while, despite liking it. I might have to try one of these.
I have used this in the past and great while I am using it, but also find that it is rather expensive
I've been using the Dermalogica eye serum a lot lately and it is a really good one!
I've been using Skinceuticals CE Ferulic for months now but to be honest I haven't noticed an improvement. Certainly my skin hasn't gotten any worse
I’ve used a Body Shop vitamin c boost in the past, it was like a primer (and here it shows and describes the polish but the title is moisturiser!). Years ago I used an Avon one and it really cleared up my pigmentation.
I love vitamin c range from body shop and ordinary c serum .they work like a charm
I haven’t tried any of these but would love to try the Clinique and EA. One day.
I really want to try the mist toner.
I need to get some day time products with Vitamin C.
Oh I'd love to try some vitamin c products
I love the EA retinol and will definitely give the Vitamin C a try in future in the capsule form.
Have used a few-Kora, ASAP and a few others. Okay but nothing really mind blowing so far for the prices
Surely it would be better to eat more Vit C than slather it on your face?
I haven't used any of these products, but I recently received the Clinique Booster in a GWP – review to come soon!
Ha, there is a new Dermal transfer serum from Mayerling, 15% pure VitC with some other stuff. Interesting product….will get to try samples asap I've got recently, this article reminded me!
Heaps of fresh raw fruits and fruity veg daily is a must with added nutty seed stuff! You are what you eat, so better it be fruity nut. Topical application however has an extra effect on the skin. People with certain damage (like mine from 3.5 decades of sun worship) see benefits like: improved shedding of dead skin cells, smoother skin, brightening overall. Some even more. I eat heaps of vitC, but topical application is needed for external correction.
I need to consume more vitamin c
I have heard great things about vitamin c in skincare. I have an overnight cream that contains vitamin c, it is the last of my Avon creams.
I see Skin Physics have an exfoliating face mask I would love to try.
My skin glows when it has it vitamin C boost. I got sample of Elizabeth Arden vitamin c capsules in little plastic bubbles. Love them. Yes Are dear but so worth it.
I recently got the Clinique Vit C booster from Rewards Room. I'll need to try it out!
I love a good vitamin c moisturiser or serum. Helps my skin a lot.
I haven't tried any of these but I do like products with Vitamin C.
Intriguing article there are a few things I’d like to try
I love Vitamin C products. Love to try them all!
The Skin Physics mask looks great!
I just lovvvvve the Elizabeth Arden capsules!
Great products to try…
They all look so good 🙂
(I might have vitamin C addiction problem ;P )
