Karen, it really depends on what your issues and goals are. If you need Vitamin C to fade hyperpigmentation, a serum with LAA is better and this can supplement it. If you’re younger and just need prevention, this can substitute Vitamin C.

I agree. Getting rid of acne is all good, but you need to take care of your skin while doing so or, once you’ve fixed a problem, you’ll have to deal with another one.

Indeed. The way I think about is the difference between treating the health of the skin vs. nuking acne away with benzoyl peroxide and tretinoids. Of course those drugs have their uses and can be used on top of antioxidants.

Seppo, that’s smart advice! Antioxidants can make a great difference in how our skin ages and behaves. 🙂

Yep. I actually recommend my readers to use something like this over benzoyl peroxide and other traditional acne treatments. Or at the very least to make sure their skincare regimen includes some antioxidants.
