In reply to Nadine. Nadine, I haven't reviewed it yet, but judging from the ingredient list, it sounds promising. I like that it contains 2 forms of vitamin C and a couple more antioxidants (although, they left ferulic acid out).

Gio, I think I already left this question on another post, but I can’t remember where! I’ve recently purchased Stratia’s vitamin C+C. It’s in a silicone base which it seems is quite different from other formulations. Have you had a chance to review it?

In reply to Elisa. Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a derivate of vitamin C, so the pH isn't really an issue here. You can use them together. I like that this serum has a few antioxidants, but I'm not a fan of the fragrant oils as they could irritate sensitive skin.

I am using the Hyaluronic acid serum from the Tree of life age defending beauty brand and I read that it contains Sodium ascorbyl phosphate, if I use it after the retinol do I still get the full potential of the products or they should be alternated? What do you think about this Hyaluronic acid serum in general?

In reply to wong.

Hi, Wong, I have been using a serum with 18% SAP for over a year now, and I too have dry (… and dehydrated, and sensitive… ) skin, but SAP hasn’t dried it out at all. Hope this helps.

In reply to wong. Wong, the only way to know for sure is to try. All I can say is that Ascorbic Phosphate is a gentle form of Vitamin C and doesn't usually irritate skin (unless it's sensitive).
