Is there a reason you are leary of vitamin c / l-ascorbic? I was going to highly recommend the SkinMedica Vitamin C (which has a couple forms of vitamin c in it). My skin is so much brighter & more resilient when I use this consistently and not to mention the extra sun protection vit c gives.

If no vit c, then I have used in the past and liked: Elysee Pycnogenol Serum, Dr. Denese Hydroshield and also good old Olay Regenerist Serum (fragrance free) which I actually still use.

And I am curious about the Ice Elements Edelweiss Serum which EDS carries, I haven't tried it but am interested to hear more about it if anyone has tried it!

i agree........I also use super cp's at night and vitamin c in the mornings. It works great for me!!!!!

I do use the PSF retinol a couple of nights a week instead of the super cp's.....just to shake things up a bit.

Crazy for Clooney and Winnie,

I'm leary of using an l-ascorbic because 3 years ago I used Skinceuticals which irritated my skin. I used the 10% and the 15%. It can be just the skinceuticals line, but it didn't agree with my skin.

I do understand where you are coming from. l-ascorbic can dehydrate my skin. At present I am using a Vit C with Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate. I quite like it: Janson Beckett's C&C. I do try other Vit. C products but find that C&C works best for me. Janson Beckett is not the only company that uses Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate. If interested do a seach on this form of Vit. C. Janson Beckett, DDF Skincare, Dr. Perricone (just to name a few).

"Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate is a water-soluble derivative of vitamin C rapidly gaining popularity in skin care. It is nonirritating and more stable than vitamin C. Most importantly, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate appears to have the same potential as vitamin C to boost skin collagen synthesis but is effective in significantly lower concentrations. Overall, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate appears to be a better choice than vitamin C for people with sensitive skin and those wishing to avoid any concomitant exfoliating effects. (Most vitamin C formulas are highly acidic and therefore produce exfoliation.)" - Smartskin.com
