why use powder rather than a pre-mixed serum?

With a premixed serum, you really don't know how much C is in it, and you can't change the concentration at will.

because premixed will be less potent as the vit c gets exposed to heat and light. mixing your own and keeping it in the refrigerator will keep the potency high, plus you will be mixing weekly so you will always have a fresh batch.

Vitamin C becomes unstable in a relatively short time once it is mixed with a liquid. I had the powder form of C and mixed as needed for about 6 or 7 months then noticed that when I mixed it with liquid the liquid stayed an orangey color,which means the powder vit. C was no longer any good. Time to buy new. And a reason to buy smaller quantities of it.

This way you know what ingredients are in your product and you can save a great deal of money.

When I had resarched this a while ago, the best answer I found was it just doesn't dissolve as well. I add it to the tub first then add clothes. The only annoyance is the powder sitting on a dark item (like on a delay wash) can set in to that article of clothing- so that's why I add the powder first

You can get Cleanse for Life in both liquid and powder form. I prefer the powder, as it doesn't have to be refrigerated, keeps much longer, and I think it tastes better than the pre-mix liquid!

I don't know if your looking at the powder or the insert. My cardiologist bought the first pack of powder I bought to take on a hunting trip in the wild. I have never used the powder, but read that its the latest ER & battle wound treatment. I take blood thinners and carry these in my first aid kits. The insert is one for deep punctures from knife wounds or gun shots.

I do. I'm pretty sure it's best to use a moisturizer after any serum. Mainly because serums are kinda liquidey and require a bit of time before they leave your face feeling soft and supple. In contrast, moisturizer instantly hydrates.

I don't need to, but occasionally I do just because I want to extra-pamper myself and my skin. When I do I wait a few hours after applying the serum so that it has had time to be fully absorbed (don't want to dilute its magical effects!). But no, I absolutely do not need to - this does not dry my skin in any way. It also doesn't oxidize the way some many other C serums do. I highly recommend this product.

You have to shake it a lot as well as wait patiently. I have also set aside a cup and blade from my Magic Bullet just for mixing serums. As far as I know you cannot get it mixed quickly. I start with the ascorbic acid and water and then gather the other ingredients, etc. Good luck.

I've only used the powder form which I enjoy as a drink. Keep in mind it takes several weeks before you notice a difference which I was made aware of ahead of time.

Concentrate vs a 50/50 mix and two different lable versions for the 50/50 mix that don't appear to be a different formula?

No, they are 2 different things. The serum is thinner in consistency and you are supposed to use it before applying the cream.

To my surprise, these liquid softgels seem to work better and faster than the powder brands. I've previously used a powder brand before and prefer the results I am getting from taking this one. My skin is starting to look great after a short period of time. I hope this helps you in your selection.

You never want to mix acids! If you want to use this product (the Vit C serum) regularly, I would use in the morning and the retinol at night, but together would not be good (irritating and/or cancel each other's effects)

There should be no problem using both, you don't have to but you can. As Davina said, it depends on how much you need. It has different benefits to skin. Witch hazel extract & L-Arginine are just some of the other ingredientn in HA serum while Firming cream has hexapeptide-8 and other high end ingredients. I will also go with what Susan said, let it dry first. It shouldn't take that long for your skin to absorb the product since it's a serum, it has smaller molecule than cream/lotion.

I do both. Usually I use a Vit C serum. Im not consistant In a routine so I cant speak yet for my results

Both the shampoo and serum are effective on their own. However, when used together, there is a synergistic effect. That is: you get stronger and faster results. My recommendation would be that depending on how serious your problem is you should use just the shampoo, or shampoo and serum together if you need maximum effectiveness.

The same company has a setting powder but on days when I want it to last a long time I just use regular face powder Rabat I have on hand. And yes, pretty much I use it without any powder.

Good question! The setting powder is just an extra boost to help it last longer throughout the day.
