Okay, I love Vit. C serum. I have used Cellex-C and am now trying Candessence's Triple C.

I have a question about how long to leave Vit. C on / let absorb before putting other products on?

Also does anyone else have problems with the Vit. C balling up when you put other products on top? Is there something that can be done to prevent this?

15 mins wait, and yes, I have had this problem before.

You should wait at least 15 minutes before applying another product. I try to wait at least 30 minutes before applying my moisturizer. I've never experienced any balling up, so I can't help you with that one.

I never knew I needed to wait for 15 mins before applying moisturizer. But now I know. I usually wait only 2 or 3 mins then apply B 5 serum or moisturizer. I will wait for at least 15 mins now. I hope I will see better results.

There's a thread on EDS about pH and waiting time. It's long, but a very good and informative read. You should check it out.

Here's the link:

Thanks, everyone! Special thanks to andaman_gypsy for the link to the pH thread!

I second this thread...I've bookmarked it and have gone back to it several times...Tangal is amazing and thanks to her recommendations, my skin got better! I had no idea I should have been waiting 30 minutes after my BHA. What a difference it made! The hardest part is figuring out what the ph is of products...still considering getting some litmus paper...I need to check a few things.
But overall, I'm very indebted to Tangal!

In Thailand,

Cellular Skin Rx C+Firming serum is very popular.
You've to try it.

This elegant serum, in a glycol base to improve penetration, acts as a powerful antioxidant protecting skin cells from free radical damage due to exposure to UVA and UVB radiation, smoke, and other environmental pollutants. C + Firming Serum stimulates collagen production to firm the skin, correct hyperpigmentation and prevent premature signs of aging.

I'm from Thailand and I'd never even heard of Celluar Skin Rx until I found this forum and I'd seriously consider myself a die hard skincare/makeup fan.

Gotta love her! Tangal that is! If you're washing your face, and putting on Vit C after you wash, if your cleanser is not pH correct, you have to wait I think 30 mins. for your pH to come back down to normal levels before putting on the vit C. I think! You'll know for sure when you read what tangal has to say..
that lady knows her stuff!

I couldn't agree more. Tangal saved my skin. I had no idea I had to wait between each product until I read the thread by Tangal.

Hi,
Sorry, for my quote. This Cellular Skin rx C+Firming serum is the most popular in PANTIP right now.

Other people don't know about that just surfer guys.

I so wish there were more skincare brands available here in Thailand, so I wouldn't have to try so hard hunting for products! But I think we're slowly getting better...so many more brands being introduced to the Thai market.
