Dear Marta,
This is a COMMENT, not a review!!
I've been using several Sciote skin care products and am duly impressed!! I JUST received several new products from their line and am excited to use and review them.
However, I decided that I needed a higher Vitamin C product, particularly to work on some discolorations on my cheeks close to my ears (where most of us might end with an application of a light coat of blush) and to work on some new pesky tiny 'age lines' !!
I compared the Sciote's Vitamin C 20% Super Serum with the product I ordered--Skinfinite Advanced C20+ Serum (I JUST started using it & like it so far!) : 1) Price point for one ounce (30 ml) of each product; and 2) The ingredients, including the description of the amount of Vitamin C.
The one ounce of the Sciote product is $85 in your store vs. the Skinfinite Advanced C20+ which is $65 for the same amount. The Sciote Vitamin C 20% Serum does not describe exactly the percent of vitamin C (as it's third ingredient), while the Skinfinite product lists 20% Vitamin C as it's 2nd ingredient. BOTH contain phenoxyethanol. However, the Sciote product ALSO contains retinyl palmitate (ester of retinol) which according to the reviewer's comments was left off the original label and will be added later. It did not indicate the percent of this ingredient,However, I've noticed that this ingredient (which goes through conversion to retinol after application to the skin) generally does not have a percentage listed when it is an ingredient in a product.
I'm excited to see how the Skinfinite Advanced C20+ Serum works; I'll report when I've given it at least six weeks of use!! I just wanted to give your readers a quick comparison of what I looked at when I made the decision about which product to purchase first!
Thank you for offering us so many wonderful products to allow us to age gracefully!

I really like this product! I think my face has gotten brighter and I wouldn't say all of my sun sports are gone, however, I do think that they have faded a lot. I would definately order again.
