Review: Dermalogica's C-12 Pure Bright Serum

Greetings, my friends!

Bottom Line - while this product works, I don't think I'm going to buy this again because I have several other vitamin C products that I prefer to use.

Dermalogica:
Dermalogica is an American skincare company founded by Jane and Rey Wurwand in 1986. However, before the first Dermalogica products were made - in 1983, Jane, a U.K. trained skin therapist, opened "The International Dermal Institute" for licensed skin therapists to teach hands-on postgraduate level skincare education. Realizing there weren't products on the market which matched what she was teaching, Jane and Rey established Dermalogica. They decided they wanted a product line free of common irritants and ingredients which they felt led to breakouts, such as lanolin, SD alcohol, mineral oil, artificial colors, and fragrances - and that's exactly what they ended up creating.

Dermalogica's C-12 Pure Bright Serum:
This works at treating hyperpigmentation and brightening, but I didn't think it worked as well as some of my other high-dose vitamin C products. I also had some difficulty with this product when I used it with sunscreen (it pills and flakes off when mixed with three of my most commonly used sunscreens). Having said that - this absorbs very quickly, brightens, and their exclusive blend of oligopeptides, rice-derived phytic acid, antioxidant zinc glycinate, and red and brown algae help to regulate melanin (pigment) formation and treat hyperpigmentation at its source.

Stats:
This costs $97 for 1.7oz (which translates to $57 per ounce). I'd also like to note that this lasted a looong time. At one-pump twice a day - this lasted me 3 months of continuous use which isn't bad.

You can buy this on Dermalogica's website (www.dermalogica.com), but it's also available at Dermstore.com, Skinstore.com, Blue Mercury, Ulta Beauty, Nordstroms, and many many other stores (http://www.dermalogica.com/authorized-retailers/authorized-retailers,default,pg.html), or at your local stockists (http://www.dermalogica.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-Dermalogica-Site/default/Stores-Find).

I do not recommend buying high-end beauty products from Amazon or eBay. While I love Amazon and eBay and most sellers are legitimate with quality products - beauty products tend to be highly susceptible to fraud. If you're going to spend your hard earned money, make sure you're buying what you think you're buying.

That's it. Let me know if you have any questions.

Review: 6 Different SokoGlam Sheet Masks

Greetings, my friends! Bottom Line - I would buy almost every mask again with the exception of the E-Nature mask. E-Nature: Per SokoGlam.com, E-Nature was founded on the principle of creating breakthrough formulas for your skin by fusing cutting-edge Korean technology with the safest and most effective natural ingredients. E-Nature's Squeeze Green Watery Sheet Mask: This mask was "okay." It's a cotton mask soaked in watery essence (not goo) which felt nice and cool on my face, but I didn't see any difference other than that it slightly hydrated my skin. It's meant to treat excess sebum, but I didn't notice a difference either. This costs $2.50, but I don't think I'll buy it again. Klavuu: Per SokoGlam.com, Klavuu is Korea's first marine pearl cosmetic brand that infuses natural pearl, essential oils, and marine plant extracts into their signature formulas. Natural pearls will enrich, hydrate, and firm the skin, for the most ra...
