Skin Care Review: Skin Medica Vitamin C Complex

Rating
Adverse Effects

Benefits
A stabilized form of Vitamin C that creates a matte look.

Drawbacks
In a silicone base that could lead to clogged pores.

Details
I purchased the entire line of Skin Medica, excluding the Dermal Repair. The cleanser, toner, TNS and retinol products work great, although I find that you really need a glycolic product to squeeze into this regime. The Vitamin C product however, created many blackheads that I did not notice until I went to get a facial. This was the first facial that actually was painful. Perhaps with my oily skin, a liquid form of vitamin c would be more beneficial. The trick now is to find one that is not loaded with perservatives, and will not cost a fortune to maintain.

Conclusions
Skin that is oily will probably not benefit from this product.
