Vitamin C is great for skin brightening and I am currently using a toner and an eye cream that both contain it.
I love Cs but haven't been spending enough time to keep up with my skincare!
I need more vitamin C in my life!
I would like to try the Elizabeth Arden one.
I love using and trying new skincare products that helps brighten my skin!! Super recommend kiehl’s dark spot treatment and shiseido white lucent serum- expensive but they really do work! XD Always remember to use sunscreen during the day especially after using vitamin C skin care… or else there will be opposite effect&your skin will become very sensitive to the sun. It’s also important for everyone to intake more vitamin C fruits and supplements now to our boost immune system to prevent catching any flu and virus. Hope everyone stays safe&healthy
I would like to have some lovely radiant vitamin c right now
Would love to try a few of these.
The Trilogy toner sounds lovely and I like the brand
The Dermalogica eye cream is fantastic… I am a massive Vitamin C fan 🙂
I have used the Trilogy Vitamin mist and it is not my favourite… I found it rather sticky. I prefer the mist from Ella Bache… a little expensive (probably wouldn't purchase it with my own $$$$) but I got it as a GWP.
I am using the EA caps at the moment as well a vitamin C toner.
I avoid vitamin C in facial care products because they make my dry skin much more dry and flaky.
Ole Henriksen gel creme seems the one for me!
Elizabeth Arden capsules are gorgeous .
Vitamin C seems to really work well with my skin. My skin seems to respond well with products with vit c in it.
Yep I think that too! Love everything about them. : )
The Andalou Vitamin C Beauty Balm looks like a product worth trying.
i have a vit c toner and it makes my skin red
My mum has almost all these products and she said that she loved the Elizabeth Arden product and she could not get enough of it, now i wanna give it a go!
I tried the sample, it stings for me, can't handle using it without diluting with something else. That's just me though 🙂
I am trying a Skin Physics Vitamin C at the moment, so far it is great for my old skin.
Has anyone tried Olec Henderson Banana Bright Vit C range?
Dermalogica always my go to.
Looking back, the Ceramide Capsules looks promising to.
Great options. Want to try the Ole Henriksen
So many great products I was unaware of
I’ve used The Elizabeth Arden vitamin c capsules before and absolutely loved them!
My boyfriend broke up with me 8 months ago, because he felt i was cheating on him with a male friend of mine, i tried all i could to explain to him but he paid deaf ears, i was emotionally devastated because i really loved him until i saw a post on the internet about DR Ayoola, who helps people gain back their lost lover, at first i doubted if it was real because i never believed in such things but i decided to give him a try, I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a Love spell for me The process of the spell to reunite lovers is very simple and he works selflessly people the same way he restored my relationship within 48 hours and my boyfriend was calling and begging to make up with me again, if you need help to reaffirm your relationship or marriage problem.

I’ve just purchased a new bottle of Vitamin C serum last Thursday. I bought the Mecca Cosmetica brand. It’s 15% Vitamin C. They have given me generous samples, and I was really happy with it. Plus every time I walk past, I put some on the back of my hands, and they’ve never looked so good! It’s supposedly coming by express postage, so hopefully it will arrive tomorrow.
I have tried The Body Shop Vitamin C range, but I didn’t really like it. I love the Elizabeth Arden capsules. I got some from Rewards Room a while back. Absolutely gorgeous! They are all gone now. I also love the Kiehl’s Vitamin C serum, but I won’t repurchase because it’s too expensive for it is. The Vitamin C percentage is too low compared to others available.
I tried that and it works for me but my skin is sort of tough and oily type so I think that makes a big difference. That's a great idea jupiter to dilute it down if it's too strong.
