Mixed feelings on this product
I watched a video on SkinMedicas website showing the application method, and it was helpful to learn how to spread such a small amount evenly over the whole face. When I first started using it, I was put off by the slick silicone texture, because my face felt coated, even though I used only one pumps worth. I cut back to using slightly less than one pump, which is better for me. PROS: my skin took on an improved appearance on days that I used it (little lines and hyperpigmentation seemed a bit blurred). CONS: the effect seemed to wash away, though maybe it does something over time. Also, after using it for about a week, my skin developed dry flakes, especially around my mouth. I stopped using it, and my skin returned to normal. A heavier moisturizer seems necessary for me. Finally, I cannot successfully layer Elta MD UV Clear SPF46 over it--no matter how long I wait for the SkinMedica to set/absorb first, the two products create particles on my skin. The UV Clear used alone does not have this problem for me. I am disappointed about this.

Good product
I like the texture but to compare a result between this Skin Medica Vit C+E and Obagi Vit C 15%, I prefer the brighter result after using Obagi Vit C 15%

Excellent Skin Brightener
The Vitamin C and E Complex helps your skin to glow and the texture is easy to apply. I reduced this to 4 stars since the applicator pump stopped working after a few weeks. There was quite a bit of serum left, but it be came necessary to unscrew the top and use a q-tip to reach it.

Makes your skin plump!
I have used this on and off for 10 years. It stings a little at first, but goes away within a couple minutes. You can tell its working. It makes your skin plump. However, you MUST use a sunblock because this makes you very sensitive to the sun, and you will burn! I got compliments on my skin from using this. I would also like to try the TNS cream.

Your face will feel so smooth and soft!
Have recently begun to use this SkinMedica C&E complex. Prefer to use at night. When I awake, my face feels soft and clear. What a lovely way to greet the day!

I have used different brands of Vitamin C over the years and have stuck to SkinMedica C + E complex the last 2 years-It goes on smoother then any I had used before and I do see a difference with the E complex I also have no problem using makeup over it.
