I was so happy to be chosen to test the Transderma Vitamin C Serum by ProBios Laboratories, Inc....and extremely happy with my results, which were noticeable after only a few days use. The science behind this product and the simplicity of the formula are impressive. It is hard to imagine that a product with so few ingredients, Vitamin C and a solvent, could actually be effective, but it is!
Since I am not a scientist I prefer to talk simply about my experience using this serum. The science behind this product is explained in detail on the Transderma website and is in much more detail than I could provide so I will defer to the experts for that info.
So let me cut to the chase....I love this product and it's a keeper for me! I find that most products take about a month of usage before you begin to see signs of improvement but within three days of using this serum there were improvements that were very apparent to me. Overall my skin had a nice glow or radiance to it. It looked healthier, plumper, smoother and firmer. While my pores are not large there was a definite improvement....almost to non-existent. Though, are pores ever non-existent?
I started using the product mid June as the weather was beginning to get warmer. The directions suggest that you can use it once or twice a day. I used the product in the PM and then two days a week I would use it both AM and PM. One pump easily covers the face, behind the ears, the neck and the décolleté. It's a lovely product. It goes on evenly and smoothly and was fully absorbed into my skin within the 5 minutes suggested. There were evenings when that was all that I used on my face, along with my eye cream and normal cleansing regime. Also, when I used it during the day I found that there was very little need to apply a moisturizer. My skin does have a tendency to be a bit oily in the warmer months so I usually use fewer products than in the winter months. It will be interesting to see if I still feel the same in the winter months as the weather gets colder and drier or will I find that I need to add a moisturizer. The Transderma site clearly states that they feel that there is no need to add a moisturizer when using their serums because they feel that moisturizers are mostly made up of water anyway. We shall see.
I do want to mention that the first night that I applied it, for some reason, I used two pumps, which was way too much product. It took almost 15 minutes for it to be fully absorbed into my skin. For some reason I thought that the directions said to use one to two pumps. One pump is very sufficient.
Over the years I have become more and more aware of the foods that I eat and what I put into my body. Gradually, I have also become more and more aware of what I put on my body particularly as I try to live a more organic life. However, that concept took me a bit longer to grasp!! While I am nowhere close to being a purist and have a very long way to go in getting there I do feel that I have made some very good progress over the years in my choices about food and skin and body care products. This product fits in perfectly with the healthier direction that I am taking in choosing skin care products.
Yes, it is quite pricey but after using this very generous full size product, 30 ML, for a bit over 30 days there is more than enough left for another month to month and a half of use, if not more.
As I mentioned above, this is a keeper for me. The science is there and the results are there for me. This is an excellent product and I can't wait to try their other serums!
Thank you Marta/TIA for introducing us to this terrific product.... and for the many other terrific products you have introduced us to over the years!

I am a vitamin C junkie. It is one of the few ingredients that has a ton of research behind it, so I am always looking for a great one. This is the best yet. A very pure and concentrated formula. My cheeks are much firmer after six weeks
What did I expect from Transderma Vitamin C Serum? Finer visual lines, fading of acne scars and discoloration of sun damage on my chest, and perhaps some positive changes in some surgical scars from precancerous lesions I had removed. What I experienced was a very noticeable difference in the lack of oiliness in the morning after waking. What a pleasant surprise. Another surprise was how smooth my face felt after the appropriate drying/absorption time. I’m finding it difficult to see finer lines, fading of acne scars and discoloration from sun damage. Perhaps it did keep my skin from aging. My skin certainly does not look worse after using Transderma Vitamin C Serum.
