@JeanLouiseFinch   Only a few days left with that one and then I'm testing DRMTLGY Vit.CE+F...15%

So another good take away (for me) is to not use both my Vit C and Retinol at the same time.  Thank you

So according to this chart, it looks to me like my Missha product is better??


 

 

@monicakm 

That depends on what "better" means for you or anyone in particular b/c we have different concerns and issues. But you can always look at something and say 'the more the merrier'...right? ...or 'more is better than one'.

No, that's not necessarily true. Again, it depends on what kind of VC you use with retinol.

Just when I thought I had it all figured out :/

If the Vit C is ok with PHA (Glow Recipe Watermelon PHA), snail snot, GR moisturizer and GR Plum Plump Hyaluronic Acid, I'll just use it in AM

@monicakm   I use both w/o issue. One's night skincare and Vit. C is in the morning. Of course, everyone's skin is different.

I knew I could use both, I just didn't know I shouldn't use both at the same time (maybe).  I'll just switch my Retinol to AM

Paula's Choice 1% Retinol contains VC in the form of THDA...just for an example.

@monicakm  No, Retin A should be used at night because it makes skin reactive when exposed to sunlight. Vit. C in the morning on just cleansed and dry skin.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.  I better laugh to keep from crying LOLOL.  Ok, Vit C in the AM.  I might not care for the QRx in the morning tho since it's oily.  If it's a problem, I'll return it and go back to my Missha C.

However, since I don't get any sun to speak of, it might not be a problem after all.
