  • What's the right amount of serum that needs to be applied without overdoing it?

  • @etamlous It does not need to be applied thick. Only a thin layer is needed so as an example 1 drop will do the under eye and crows feet.

  • I'm a male with adult acne breakouts on my forehead. I'm on prescription retinoid Tazorac cream that I use daily before bed time. I would like to try your vitamin C serum but I'm not sure if it's beneficial. to be used on skin with active acne breakouts? And how can I use it while I'm on a retinoid cream?

  • @etamlous Most people don't have any trouble with acne and the Vitamin C unless they begin using it every day and apply too much. I would say less than 5% of people get any breakouts. If the Tazorac is controlling things you should not have a problem. Another trick is to start using it on other areas than the forehead and slowly incorporate this region. Also you can start by using it every other day.

  • Hello :) what is the difference from l ascorbic acid and just ascorbic acid?

  • @EricaLeAnnUmberger It has to do with the chemical structure. The L means that in the second carbon from the bottom, the order is HO-C-H. There is either a D or and L isomer. The L isomer has better properties for skin. Some people use a racemic blend.

I used these back to back yesterday morning as well as right before bed, and the night before. it stung a little yesterday morning and last night it stung alot but stopped within a couple of minutes. well i woke up this morning and the lines under my eyes (near my bottom lashes)
