loving what i got so far and a quick question :)

So far I am LOOOOVING the super serum, oil control serum, and after a bit of trouble, the firming moisturizer (will probably switch to the intensive though)

However, I'm going to try the vitamin c peptide serum, and i was wondering what percentage of Vitamin C it is. I read that anything less than 10% isn't effective, and when I reread the description on SN, it said that it is very potent (YAY!) but no percentage. Is it at least 10%?

Thanks!!

That's great! On a regular l-ascorbic acid serum it should be at least 10%- but we use magnesium ascorbyl phosphate and it's a lot more potent so you use less. According to the clinicals I read...and the results I've seen- 3% MAP (what we use) is as or more effective than 10% l-ascorbic- and it's more effective across different populations.

BUT if you're already using Super Serum it already has 3% MAP in it anyway....

Oh! Hahaha..thats good to know! Thank you for the information!

So if using the Super Serum, would you say its kind of pointless to also use the vit c peptide serum? I was going to try it because I read in another thread that the vit c peptide would be better at wrinkle prevention than the Super Serum, but then, if the SS has the wrinkle fighting abilities of the Vit c peptide..then is there no point in using the vit c peptide?

Thanks!

anyone?

They're sort of designed to do the same thing. The only thing you're really missing is the peptides...but the niacinamide has really good clinicals for wrinkle fighting, and the pumpkin seed extract protects collagen- the peptides are supposed to actually re-grow collagen. There's no reason why you couldn't layer them, or use the C-Peptide at night, and the Super Serum during the day.
