Not sure but this cream is very good for very dry skin and stretch marks I highly recommend use to purchase at stores and not able to find anymore

I'm not completely sure, but I believe the salve is used for wrinkles, while the ointment is generally used for scars and burns.

Are you comparing this SAME Basic Organics Vit E ointment with salve by the SAME company? Your question doesn't contain any specifics: for eg.: what you are wanting to use if for? rash? dry skin? moisturizer? Do you need some sort of medicinal properties/product? If you google or do web search for Salve/Ointment - they are the SAME thing, however, I'm sure depends on manufacturer claims/ingredients. To me, they are the same. This product is just a basic, no frills, natural product - contains Aloe Vera, Wheat Germ Oil, and Vit E. Been using for YRS - hope they NEVER change it nor discontinue it. I LOVE it. Use tiny amount, warm/rub between fingers/hands to warm/melt and apply, a little goes a LONG way. Use it on my feet, lips, face, hands - all day long on my hands. It has consistency bit heavier than Vaseline. Is it greasy? Yes, it's ointment, however if you melt/warm it and blot after, not any different than lotions. I'll say it again - I LOVE this product!

I have used both and find no difference in them. I prefer the cream because I only use it on my face and it lasts a long time. The lotion being thinner works better for larger areas such as the shoulders or back.

I don't know if there is a difference. I do use the L-asorbic acid when I make vitamin C for my face.

I don't know what the difference would be, except the serum would be more fluid than the filler which is more of a cream.

True, Vitamin E's with a dl prefix The natural form has a prefix of just d-alphaHere are the differences: alpha-tocopherol is the most biologically active form of Vit E. Which contains one isomer. In contrast, synthetics contain eight isomers, of which only one is identical to natural Vit E. Therefore, the potency of each synthetic varies. Hope this helps

AVIZAGE Vitamin C Serum contains both Glycolic and Salicylic Acid which acts as an exfoliant and can have a drying effect. People with oily skin love the serum and have reported that it actually helps to control the oiliness. However, if you have normal to dry skin you will want to follow up with a moisturizer.

I had the same question and I got the answer from OZ Naturals... here is what they said : Vitamin C serum protects skin cells from free radical damage, helps with cell turnover, gives skin better tone, helps with discoloration of skin, and gives a brighter appearance to the skin. HA serum is designed more for super hydration, aids in collagen production, gives the skin a more supple appearance, and helps to smooth out fine lines. The HA serum is a thicker consistency, while the vitamin c serum is of a thinner consistency...while both have maximum potency benefits. Both products do work well together, but if you can only choose one, choose the product that your skin care needs would best benefit from. Even though there are a few ingredients that are similar, the two main ingredients of each of those serums do not contain the same amounts. For example, the vitamin c serum is a 20% strength of vitamin c, comprising more than 50% of the entire formula of ingredients. The HA serum also contains 20% strength vitamin c, but only makes up 10% of the total ingredients (this is because this serum is primarily made of HA; it's main benefits are not those of a vitamin c serum.) The same goes for the vitamin c serum...it's main intent is to give you the benefits of a vitamin c serum, therefore, only a small percentage of HA is added for moisture. I hope you have the information you need to make your choice. We hope you enjoy our products. Best Regards, Angela, CE

Hi, my face cream DOES have Vitamin E listed in the ingredients, as well as Vitamin A & C. However, I cannot use mine, because it didn't agree with my skin & made my face break out terribly, but I do have very sensitive skin. I think the seller sent me an old bottle, because my cream was very discolored & had a strong odor. If you have sensitive skin, I would recommend trying Bel Essence Intensive Anti-Aging Treatment, also sold on Amazon. It is completely natural & has not broken my face out at all. It's also about the same price. Sorry for all the additional info, I just wanted to warn you of my experience with this cream. If you try it, I hope it helps! ~Aly Hi, my face cream DOES have Vitamin E listed in the ingredients, as well as Vitamin A & C.

They are the same. The active ingredient is the same in both - Petrolatum (41%). they are both clear ointments that soothe the skin. Another skin therapy product from Eucerin is Original Moisturizing Creme. This product is a heavy white creme to relieve dry skin.

Yes it is. I love the original vitamin e serum. The argan oil is much heavier. I also use the original as a facial moisturizer

The only difference I can tell between regular eye cream and this stuff is texture. The Dermalogica Age Smart Multivitamin is more like an ointment and to me, penetrates the skin faster and deeper than a regular cream because most creams just sit on top of the skin. I can put my makeup over it and not worry about smearing or smudging. I'm big into eye makeup and love to go dramatic when possible and most creams tend to make my look run. I haven't had this problem with this product. Also, this one tube I bought around this time last year and I'm just about to run out. It's not bad considering you only need to buy this once a year, depending on your usage. I usually apply a small amount morning and night but there have been some times here and there that I've slacked. Anyway, just thought I'd put that out there. =) I hope this helps.

The more expensive one has MSM in it which is for joint health. I use one or the other and cannot see any difference. I decided I'd rather purchase the less expensive one because of that. There doesn't appear to be any difference in the lotion as far as texture or thickness. I get good results from both as far as the magnesium in them. It helps leg cramps at night.

I dont see a big difference between the two. They are a thicker sunscreen since the main ingredient is zinc oxide .

Yes, there is a difference. The Violet device is better suited for treating acne. The Orange is more suited for treating wrinkles and age spots.

I don't know the difference. I never used the other one. All I know this one is used for maintenance, after undergoing the initial more intense treatment. The maintenance is very important because the sunspots do come back and it is good to use this cream on a daily basis to keep those dark spots treated.

I believe what you meant was that you use a product with hyaluronic acid. yes there is a difference. the product that you referring to has a unique combination of ingredients that help repair sun damaged skin. this unique product has a high percentage of vitamin C that is stabilized through the use of hyaluronic acid and thus supporting the increased production of collagen.

Yes I use both, put my vitamin C serum on first. Skin looks and feel great.
