Skinceuticals CE Ferulic has the addition of ferulic acid which gives it the edge I do believe. Giving it an SPF rating of around 8

chunch, both are good products and the technology for both was developed by the same man! Very high quality C serums. I have heard good things about both & I have used Skinceuticals C+E ferulic with good results, but Mari here likes Cellex-C and gets equally good results.
They are expensive though and so most ppl limit the use of them to just a few drops when more is better. You can make your own very easily and cheaply and it will be fresher and more beneficial. If vit C is allowed to oxidize, as it does very quickly, it forms free radicals which damage the skin instead of helping it. The storebought stuff already is starting to oxidize by the time you buy it.
There is an easy recipe and a more "loaded" recipe for C serum. We can help you with it if you would like us to!!!

I've been using Cellex-C (Ageless 15?) -- I think it's a good product and I've had results with it. I note that most cosmetic lines are introducing a Vit C serum. Elizabeth Grant on TSC is selling 3 small bottles of 15% for $34C -- a good deal but I haven't tried it. I do like the idea of the small bottles because the larger Cellex-C starts to oxidize when you get to the last 1/4 of the bottle. Aloette has a good pigment cream -smells like orange juice but it's rather thick -- it does absorb quickly into your skin. never tried it long enough to see results.

Here is the "loaded" recipe:

And here is the simple one:
e: DIY Vitamin C Serums - for anti-ageing and evened-toned skin
Well, try using 1 tsp of Vit C, with your 1/4 tsp of Rosehip oil, and 1 oz of distilled water. That should give about a 14% soln: 5.0/(5.0+1.25+30.0).
But check the pH first. pH needs to be <3.5 to be effectively used by the skin. Store in dark bottle in the frig. Only mix what you can use in a couple weeks so it is fresh and potent.
HTH!

Yes periwinkle you are right. The ferulic acid does give this product the edge. I have used it and really liked it myself. I am now trying to make my own......so we shall see how it goes.
I think both products are similar and is just your own personal preference

Yes do a google. Plenty of supply shops sell them. They often make you order more than one bottle at a time.

Yes Mari save those bottles!! Mine came with caps too and I have been saving all of it!! I did order some extras though on GOW site and makingcosmetic site. You also might be able to find them at a craft store. I haven't check my local craft stores yet, but I am going too.
Must be a new product in their line. I'll wait until it's on sale on the Shopping Channel -- and possibly try it then. Have you tried it?
