I noticed some effects with this but it oxidized quite quickly, less than two months.Īnjou VitC serum - this was a Black Friday deal on Amazon for 5 bucks (now listed for $15) and so far I'm pleased with it. OST C20 - this is a Korean brand so will take longer to get unless you can find a US distributor - looks like Wishtrend has it right now for $15 with free shipping from Korea, so quite reasonable. Mad Hippie Vitamin C serum (available Whole Foods among others) - this is not L-AA so is stable longer, was nicely hydrating but I didn't notice any brightening effect. The big thing with Vitamin C is oxidation, since the whole point of it is as an anti-oxidant, and the most potent form (L-ascorbic acid) degrades quickly when exposed to air and light. They've got a mandelic toner, serum, and peel that get good reviews. I've also read great things about Makeup Artists' Choice, but I haven't tried anything from them yet.

My new product is from Stratia Skin, which is an indie one-woman skincare company based out of LA. I adore this stuff it's just the right strength to clear my skin without causing irritation. It looks like it's out of stock right now from the vendor I got it from - they ship from India via Amazon but with free shipping. My first product was recommended by the asianbeauty sub on reddit it's a cream from India called Sefpil cream. Mandelic acid isn't restricted, I don't think, but it is a lot less common than glycolic. I just received it, so haven't started testing it yet. I signed up for their email notification and finally snagged a tube. I also recently found out about Melazapam cream made in the US - Pure Formulas seems to be the only place that sells it, and they're in and out of stock. Since it's OTC in Europe, you can order it from there - that's what I did for my current product, which is Skinoren (same as Finacea) from a reputable ebay seller in Poland. Em, yeah, azaleic acid above a certain percentage is prescription-only in the US. ![]()
