yeah it is good..but vit c doesnt have a long shelf life..which is why you cant rely on the ones found in supermarkets..you can make one at home by getting ascorbic-L acid powder (vit c) and mix it in glycerin and water..make it in small quantities..so when you are done using it..make more as needed..

Hey Horizon, just saw this thread...

Vit C serum is good for the skin, it's meant to plump up skin collagen, make the skin a more even tone, eradicate sun damage like sun spots and make the skin brighter.

I've been using it for about a year and have to say that while I don't notice any collagen benefits, the main thing it does is makes the skin brighter and gives it a glow. Vit C is a good antioxidant and apparently also protects the skin against the sun.

Best vit C serums are Cellex C and Skin Ceuticals. Obagi does one also.

thnxx tania as i was luking forward 4 the rite reply,,plzz tell me which cream or serum in cellex c r u using??i mean the name of serum in this brand?

No worries Horizon. I'm actually not using Cellex-C myself. I've used Skin Ceuticals in the past which is good but sticky but am currently using Henry Tianus (organic brand) Antioxidant Youthful Essence which has 20% Vit C concentration along with other antioxidants. It's not widely available though, only via online or a couple of organic shops in London.

The Cellex C serum is called 'High Potency Serum' and it has 10% Vit C concentration. The highest concentration you can get in Vit C serums is 20%. Personally,

Personally, I would opt for Cellex-C over Skin Ceuticals.
