After seeing so many good reviews, I am very interested in both lines.
My question is, has anyone tried both and compare? Though the products are made up of different ingr and targets different skin problems, some products are similar e.g both have Vit C serum and skin exfoliation/peeling (Glycolic, Salycilic acids).
I have very oily skin with open pores, very prone to breakouts esp around the cheek area (probably due to my oily hair). I dont know if I can tolerate strong stuff like Retinol, Glycolic/Salycilic Acid cause the last time I tried was Obagi and it broke me out so much I stopped using immediately without waiting if it's only temporary reaction.
Pls can ayone suggest how to add new products ito my routine, without damaging (too much) my wallet, or ending up with 2 or 3 products that
are more or less similar in product functiones & efefctiveness.
My daily routine :
AM :
Dermalogica Microfoliant
SKII Treatment Essence
Decleor Ylang Ylang Oil
A tad of moisturiser but only on drier spots
Kosmea Sun Protection SPF 30
Make up
PM :
L'Occitane Cleansing Water to remove make up
Dr Hauschka Cleansing Cream
Every 3-4 days, put on mask (Alternate between DrH Rejuvenating or Firming)
SK II Treatment Essence
Rose Hip Oil (under eyes and drier spots)
I have used Skinceuticals C @15% but it's used up now and I want to try other stuff. 
Basically, I am looking for
1. a good antioxidant +++ (also improve overall skin tone, minimise acne scar/hyperpigmentation, increase elasticity etc)
2.an effective wrinkle/line reducing product which is also kind to my acne-prone skin
Thanks so much in advance  |

Also want to try some PSF stuff...maybe I'll try the Eye Serum...just have to be more sensible after all the festive shopping !

| My skin sounds like yours. I got the PSF 20% C serum and am liking it so far. You could get a sample from them but it's so small it may not be worth it. The Viver C serums also worked well. |

thanks jadette! what are the results you are getting from the PSF C? How is it compared to Vivier C?
i have written to PSF but so far haven't gotten the reply yet.
am still considering which product to buy full size and which to try the sample ones...
anyway am still suffering from several impulsive shopping (it's the holiday fever I guess!)...so have to wait till payday to place an order...
at the moment interested in trying the following :
PSF = Emergen C + Pumpkin Peel or Hydrating Eye Serum.
IS Clinical = Pro Heal/Super Serum & the Eye Firming product |

| After using PSF c serum for a week, I must say I like the vivier better. I'm thinking of returning this one to get the vivier. It just seems with the vivier my skin didn't get oily so fast and I like the fact that you can use vivier day and night rather than just once a day. |
