Which serum is better - the anti aging Vital C Hydrating or the Vital C Hydrating A, C &amp; E. I have mature skin.

I am not able to speak to the "vital hydrating a, c & e" as I have not used that product. As for the vital C; I found this product to be heavily scented--like orange candy and the product to be a lotion and not a serum. I would not recommend this product. I went back to RX Systems c serum, but it is very pricey at $78. A comparable alternative is c serum that you can typically find at Whole Foods or Trader Joes in their beauty section for about $30'ish.

There is a slight difference in moisturizers, the Age Defying has just a few more ingredients that makes it a little better for your skin... Hope this was helpful..

Hi Jill, I've never used the Age Reform (AR) cleanser, but from what I can tell the difference is the Exfoliating Cleanser (EC) is slightly granular and, my assumption, is that the AR is not. I love the EC and have been using it for years, but if you have dry skin it might be good to use both. In fact, I may try both. I hope this helps.

i just started using the c serum recently, so not enough time to really say. i have been using the hyaluronic serum for awhile and love it. i do think my spots are lighter and overall skin texture is better. i also love the way it feels.

I guess this is more pure with stronger vitamin c content while the other one is only 15% mixed with vitamin e... for more sensitive skin I think the latter one should be better and also if you want vitamin e mixed with your vitamin c

Good question and here's my honest opinion. I bought both and faithfully used both for at least a month, if not 2. I did not notice a difference until I stopped using the serum. The cream was incredible and still gives me some extra skin love. I've read serums are intended provide relief deep in the various layers of skin while the cream provides the best parts of the serum in an emollient the provides nocturnal nourishment go our precious facea.

I haven't use the two together. It may be to much product to use together. The active serum already makes your skin tingle. The two combined would be to much for my skin.

I am unable to tell the difference between the two. I love what this coupled with Obagi vitamin c serum 20% do for my skin. They are both amazing. I use the Luxe over the serum in the morning and over retin a at night.

Hi Lisa, sorry for the late response - just realized I got this - I've used various Vit C serums including making my own and this is by far the best I've used. It's strong but not too drying and I have been able to keep the wrinkles at bay and reduce some and it gives me a nice all over glow which makes the wrinkles look better anyway. I ran out of my 20% & now have tried the CSS vit c+e (15% C) & hydra gel & also very good products. I'm 50

Hi Azi - the serum is for any age range. It proactively prevents visible signs of aging and for those who have signs of aging, helps reduce wrinkles, fine lines and firm skin. We have people of all age groups using the serum. I hope that helps! Lois

I have both. The vital C is what I prefer. I am 64 years old but have pretty good skin. The Ageless is pretty drying, but the Vital C is more moisturizing. I hope this helps. In general, I think the Image products are wonderful......

Hello Barb, The Retinol Serum with Vitamin C & E has Retinol at 10% and is specifically for sloughing old cells to make room for new generation, for addressing age spots and photo aging (properties of Retinol). The Collagen Serum with Matrixyl is specifically for boosting collagen levels, so important for youthful skin since we lose collagen and it is the prime factor to keeping skin plump and firm. Retinol also encourages collagen production, but Matrixyl is known to double its production! Retinol is important for a nightly regime to reveal and regenerate skin; the collagen serum is perfect for a morning / day application to help hydrate skin as well as boost collagen production. Thank you! Kathy Heshelow, Sublime Beauty

Our Triple Action Vitamin C Serum contains 15% Vitamin C-- 5% of each of the three forms. Through extensive testing we found that concentrations higher than 15% caused excessive drying of the skin and no additional collagen building or anti-aging benefits. Our serum provides the most effective potency without irritating the skin. It took many months to develop and we're very proud of it!

Sorry, I cannot compare. This was my first purchase of retinol serum; it is a serum. But it took only two weeks to cause a couple of skin tags to fall off. Also, removed some sebaceous growths on my cheek.

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.

The label doesn't say much. It's a clear serum and I believe that it truly is 20% based upon my experience of using 15, 20 and 30%. It's the best price of a C serum that I have found. I prefer the serum to a cream. It has a nice to non-existent scent.
