On 1/7/2014 Dublingrl said:I like Ole Henrickson's Truth Serum and use it every morning, it is one of the products that I re-purchase, but I buy it once a year when Sephora has it's sale.
I have not tried the Mad Hippie brand, I understand the reviews are good, but I like what I'm using.
You took the words right out of my mouth. I use truth serum and it works and I love it.

Anyone else tried these two??
I tried OH and felt it left a sticky residue on my skin.
I can't speak to Mad Hippie, I've never used it.

On 1/7/2014 sundrops said:I have both the Truth serum and the Mad hippie serum. I started using Ole's serum about 2 years ago when it came in a Beauty test tube. Just over a month ago, I bought the Mad hippie from Amazon on the rec from JLF because I wanted a Vitamin C serum that also had ferulic acid in it. I do believe that the Mad Hippie is causing slight breakouts. So, not to waste it, I'm using it about 3 days in a row and then I'll use Ole's once and follow this pattern. I may try NCN next and see how that goes. I've had no problems with the Truth Serum--just wish it had ferulic acid in it too.
SkinActives sells Ferulic acid so you could add it to the Truth serum. SkinActives also sells a Vitamin C serum that's 20% and costs about $15. I've purchased it twice and may go back to it once I've finished using the C serum I'm currently using.

Do you know what the pH is of the skinactives vitamin C serum? if the pH is too high, it doesn't even matter what the % is. If you have the name of the serum you can provide I can look up the pH myself. Thanks!

If I could choose beyond that it would be NCN which I currently use or NuFountain which I have previously used.On 1/7/2014 Harpa said:I looked these both up once before...I think both of them have too many things in.
What percent of C is in the Mad Hippie? I think the Truth is something like 10%.
pH of the product is also important, along with %. If the pH isn't ideal, the % doesn't really matter as much since it won't be as effective and will degrade quicker, regardless of what form of vitamin C it is.
Hi BellaCarro...please tell me why you would go with NCN or NuFountain. I currently use MadHippie and like it....but am always looking for something that might be better. I love that MH has Hyaluronic acid and Ferulic Acid as well as the 20% C.

Not Bella (obviously) but one thing about Madhippie vitamin C serum is that the pH of the product is 6.5-7.5. Ideally the pH, for maximum efficacy should be closer to less than pH 5 according to the majority of studies I've read in the past. Just an FYI, Mad Hippie is not 20% vitamin C but 10% (see Jean's post, #6).

On 1/8/2014 Nickel05 said: Don't know about Mad Hippie, but Ole's product is in a clear container. There's no way the vitamin C stays stabilized. You're wasting your money with Ole.
This is actually a really good point, clear containers are not ideal for vitamin C products, nor is droppers. Any time a vitamin C product comes in contact with air and light, it affects its' efficacy. Dark bottles and airtight pumps or tubes are the most ideal delivery system to maintain efficacy and freshness.

I haven't tried Mad Hippie yet but I do like their lotion.
I've been using 100% Pure serum for about a month. I like it so far. Sinks right in and isn't sticky. I tried Avalon before that and it always left my skin tacky.
