Mad Hippie Serums: Users- Application Help

Haircut100 · ‎04-30-2010

On a recent trip to Vitamin Shoppe I picked up 4 Mad Hippie products but I need some help incorporating them into a routine. These are the serums I got:

Vitamin C

Vitamin A

Exfoliating Serum

Antioxidant Facial Oil

What I am unclear on is how to use the Vit C, Vit A, and Exfoliating Serums.

Can the Vit C serum be used at the same time as the other 2 serums?

Should I alternate the Vit A and Exf Serum- evenings only?

I am using the Vit C in the morning only, but would like (if possible) to use at night too, but I'm not sure it's compatible with the other two.

I use the Face Oil over the serums, both morning and night.

Any suggestions, especially from users??? Thank you

P.S. I do not have sensitive skin and I have used really strong stuff in the past so I know I have tolerant skin. I'm switching to natural products and no longer wish to use the other more potent things.

I currently have a serum that combines A & C, I use it along with a moisturizer. It will dry out my sensitive skin if I use it everyday. So I alternate with other serums that don't seem to be so potent.

It seems that an antioxidant facial oil would be ok with the A&C, but does it have A&C in it?

Maybe the exfoliating serum would be best with some kind of moisturizer, as it may dry you out.

I mix my lotions and potions during the day or evening. If I'm using retinol, I only use it at night.

Hope that will give you some ideas, but you could experiment and see how your skin reacts.

I've never tried 4 Mad Hippie products.

@Haircut100 You're on the right track.

~ I'd keep the Vitamin C as a daytime only.
~ Vitamin A is in the "retinoid family" and will encourage cell turnover so that should only be used only at night anyway. On the MH website, they recommend using either the Exfoliating Serum or the Vitamin A Serum as your exfoliant. Since you bought both, you can us them on alternating nights.
~ The Antioxidant Facial Oil can be used as your moisturizer.
