Thank you! I searched “Beautycounter” on your site, but only found one post… I’m sure there’s a reason for that :).

In reply to Torrie. Torrie, Beautycounter oil barely contains any Vitamin C at all, so you should be fine using them together.

Hi, I discovered your site a couple months ago, as I’ve been adding Paula’s Choice products to my skincare line. {Thank you for all of the information and help!} I have been using Beautycounter, which is just too expensive (without excellent results) to maintain. I just received my 10% Niacinamide Booster, but I am also trying to use up an almost brand new bottle of Beautycounter’s No. 1 Brightening Facial Oil (with Vitamin C, in the form of Tertahexyldecyl Acscorbate (not sure of the percentage of Vitamin C… waiting for a response from the company). Since I plan to use my Niaciniamide Booster in the morning (daily), do you think this would be too much Vitamin C to use both this and the oil (as long as my skin is fine with it of course)?

In reply to Eddie. Eddie, I would try a derivative, like Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate. Try to get a sample first if you can, so you can see if your skin reacts to it, as well. If it does, don't stress it. There are so many other antioxidants you can use instead.

Hi Gio- LOVE your blog. I used Paula’s C15 in the am and SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 in the pm for about a year with no problems. I upped my retinol to Paula’s Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment and had a horrible reaction about a month into the new routine. I took one month off from all products (besides Sunscreen!). I reintroduced the Paula’s Clinical 1% Retinol with no problems. But when I added C15 to my morning routine, I had the same horrible reaction. Paula was great and refunded my money on the C15, but now I’m scared to try Vitamin C. It’s been about 9 months since I last used Vit C. Any recommendations?

In reply to Cindy. Cindy, oh no! unfortunately that can happen with vitamin C serums if they've been sitting on the shelf too long. Have you contacted them? maybe they can exchange it?
