I'll be making my own Vitamin C serums. I'm considering this C. Why's this product any better than others? It's pricier considering the small amount.

The most important factor is this is not made from GMO corn like most of the cheaper brands.

I think the quality of this ascorbic acid/vitamin C powder is very good. High quality. Good purity. I haven't seen comparable vitamin c for cheaper. So I thought think this is very fairly priced. Only a very tiny amount is needed as you will see when you read the directions for mixing. Good luck with you serums.

this power is easily mixed,unfortunatly I had to stop using it after a few weeks,it was to harsh on my face,much like retin A is. But it is a good product for skin that can tolerate it. joann

This is the only one I've tried, I use 1 tsp each week. It goes along way, so for $10 it's a steal.

I have not tried any other brands. But I can tell u that this brand is supberb. It literally makes my skin glow. I balked at the price at first but u won't regret this purchase.

The 8oz size is cheaper Vitamin C Powder (L-ascorbic acid) Pure - 8.0oz / 225g

I bought this because I did not want a large batch for personal use. It really takes a very long time to use it up. BTW, it is quite well-packaged.

This is MJ from La Beaute Pure. That is a great question! Currently our Vitamin C Serum contains almost 20% Vitamin C. Due to adding so many extra botanicals to our product, our manufacturer informed us that to add more would make the product too runny. The good news is that they have just formulated a new serum that will contain a new blend of potent botanicals with extra vitamin C making it 20% The new blend will be stronger yet the same consistency. The new formulation will be ready in a couple of weeks. The best of the best just got better! We will launch the new formula with extra Vitamin C in the next few weeks. Thank you!

I also find the serum to be authentic. I think the pricing in malls is very high, but pricing online seems fairly consistent. I only buy online now.JW

I think so! I'm a big fan of this product line. Have used many other, more expensive, products and have not been nearly as pleased as I am with this one. I use this serum along with the day and night moisturizers in the Protect and Perfect line.

I don't know the exact differences, but their customer service is top notch and can give you the technical details ... support@joyandkarma.com This product is much thicker in consistency than the Vitamin C one, and I like that I don't have to worry about it dripping off my face so quickly. You can use both products together, but I think they probably work the same if you only want to buy one product.

I have used both products and personally I prefer the Vitamin C Serums. I am in my mid 60's and found that Dr Denese's Hydroshield does not give me as much staying power as far as moisture goes. I have also found when I put my moisture cream on top of the Hydroshield everything starts flaking off' but this does not happen with the Vit c Serums.

Hi there Mary! Our Vitamin C Serum has decreased the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for customers - feel free to read our reviews. Vitamin C Serum is a safe and natural alternative to other treatments out there. Ingredients shown to plump/restore skin cells & promote collagen production include: Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, and MSM. We provide pictures and written lists here with each ingredient in our formula. In addition, we have a YouTube series sharing our ingredients and explaining what each ingredient does within the serum. With deeper creases, we recommended using the Vitamin C Serum consistently both morning and evening for an extended period of time. (30 days would be a minimum recommendation if frown lines were deep, as research shows that 6 months of use provides optimal results). Additionally, I would evaluate what other products are being utilized in your skin care routine - i.e. anti-aging, nourishing, comprehensive skin care. Mary, we would be happy to help you further, and you are welcome to e-mail us directly or continue asking questions on this forum.

I have been using Active-C for normal to combination skin for the past two years. I think it is the best product I have used for my skin for a number of years, and several friends have asked about the glow and fresh look of my skin. I would recommend this product.

I've not used any with vit c yet. Only the straight ha and the one with retinol. I like the straight one best cuz it seems to be more moisturizing. The one with retinol, I use on scars and it seems to be reducing them. I plan to try vit c next time. How this helps,

your skin sounds too sensitive for the 20%, you need to look for a lower dosage and gradually work up to it, as this is a stand alone serum OR as others have said, mix some with your usual moisturizer. I use the serum first, and then when totally dry I put another cream over top as my skin is drier, vit C serum is the best thing you can do for your skin so def try the lower dosages from someone else first, though I prefer Dr Songs and will stick to it :)

I don't have a box to look at right now and I don't see it on the bottle either. Even so, that wouldn't keep me from purchasing. Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum (and other products in the line) has become very popular, which means stock is being replenished at a good rate and nothing sits around too long. Generally speaking, skincare products are good for two years if left unopened and one year after it's been opened, and that one year is far longer than you would need since the bottle would be used up within a couple of months, if you used daily.

According to the company website, this vitamin C comes from the Acerola cherry. We've been using this product for a couple years now and it is the ONLY vitamin C we buy. It is a great product, overall, compared to the choices out there. Well worth the price.I had a question once and I contacted Healthforce Nutritionals and they were very knowledgable and helpful. My only problem with this product is the addition of maltodextrin to prevent sticking, as most maltodextrin is derived from corn.

I like this product. I am not a chemist, so I don't know how I could attest to the purity. Apparently, from your comment, you have some way to ascertain purity? If so, why ask? I had merely heard that OptiMSM is a good product, and I have heard that this is a good company. You are on your own from there.
