| I use Vivier in the past, but this new line, Platine, is much much more expensive. If anybody has tried it before, can you please share your experience? THANKS!! |

| No, I haven't. I am a fan of Vivier but at the moment, I don't know how Platine can do for my skin. |

Skincare,
I too am a fan of Vivier but may I ask which of the Vivier serum do you use?
I have tried 3 of them: C+E ($124), IDS High Potency 20% ($110) and the CE Peptides ($136). Somehow the C+E made me breakout, but the other 2 didn't. I like both the IDS Hi Potency 20 and the CE Peptides, but honestly I cannot tell if one is better than the other.
I am about to run out of my C serum and can't decide whether I should save $26 (less 10% for senior memebrs) and order the IDS one. Help! |

Hi, I have gotten samples of C+E (did not work for me, I broke out with it) & the one with "K", but no longer sold (that was very nice, but I stuck with vitamin C 20% because of it's strength....I've posted a review here on it) and I purchased the facial scrub (that was nice, but because of aging, I needed a different method to control age spots darkening and my freckles getting darker)
I could go further & buy their cleansers and moisterizer, but I decided not to for the following reasons: I am tired of using drug store brands and decided to go high end. Now I use La Prairie milk cleanser because it is gentle, & I simply wanted a nice bottle on my bathroom counter which creates a better mood then to look at drug store packaging. It's dumm to spend all that money, but the luxury feel makes a world of a difference. As for moisterizer, I am using a very basic moisterizer from Embryolisse. I would like to find something that will prevent skin sagging without causing breakouts and blackheads. Sometimes, because of my illness, I noticed tiny fine red/pink lines on my eye lids and I also noticed that my skin is getting thinner around my eyes & neck. I hope to find something to help with that.
I forgot what peptides is all about, but if I remember correctly, it should not be worn with vitamin C. At night, I wear my prescription, so I don't think peptides can be fit in my routine. I also don't want to overdue it with so many products. I find it a real pain to have to wait 20 minutes before and after washing to apply vitamin C in my morning routine. I only sleep about 5 or 6 hours now and I don't want to cut into my sleep to do that, just so I can get to work on time.
I am sorry that I did not type this well, I just got out of the hospital and I still have morphine in my system. |

Hi there,
I, too can't decide which Vivier serum to use. I've tried the C -10% and the CE + peptides. Both seems good although the CE + seems oilier. Can't really tell if there's a difference.
It's a big price jump.
IS there a difference??? |
