The media could not be loaded. Advanced Clinicals Vitamin C Cream is a fantastic skincare product, perfect for those aiming to enhance their complexion. This cream effectively brightens dull skin, reduces the appearance of dark spots, and promotes an even skin tone. After consistent use, I noticed a significant improvement in my skin's overall radiance and texture which is why I had to order this a second time as can be seen in the video I uploaded. Additionally, it has a pleasant scent, a very good pump for application and the cup can be opened at will. Overall, it's an excellent choice for anyone wanting to revitalize their skin!This is my second time using the Retinol cream as well which caused me to order it again. If you have stretch marks and want to tighten your skin, this is a good buy. It is also very good when used with Vitamin C cream. I use the vitamin c cream during the day and the retinol at night and my skin feels amazing, smooth and hydrated. I noticed a visible difference in my complexion after consistent use, with increased firmness and brightness. The cream also has a gentle finish, making it suitable for daily application. A solid choice for anyone seeking youthful, radiant skin!

I'm a 50 year old female with health issues, my meds tend to turn my skin into scaled alligator skin. I modeled until my mid 30's so, I'm very critical of my skin and hair. I have really great genetics and really great skin but, suffer from chronic dehydration - when I have these moments, I look 20 years older than I am. I just couldn't take hydrating from the inside any longer because I hate having anything on my skin. I've purchased many products in the past 6 months but, this one was the best (Vitamin C duo).I was VERY skeptical of this product because none of the others worked. This is my routine for skin and hair...Hair - I put 4 dropper fulls of Vitamin C serum and 1 teaspoon of glycerin in my favorite moisturizing conditioner. Shake very well. Wash hair in the evening (I do it about an hour before bed so I don't sleep with wet hair) apply a liberal amount of conditioner and massage from scalp to ends. Put on my silk sleep bonnet and go to sleep. In the morning, remove bonnet and fluff hair. My hair is so thick, plump and nourished. It also enhances my natural curly hair (color treating my hair tends to straighten my hair). I LOVE WHAT IT DOES TO MY HAIR!Skin (face, bedtime) - Right before bed, I wash my face with a semi coarse washcloth and a glycerin based soap (never lye, so horrible for your skin). I make my own soap heavily fortified with cocoa butter. Your water should be luke warm - to hot could shock your skin and to cold can shock your skin and close your pores. Anyways, now that skin is clean I apply retinol serum under my eyes with a Q-Tip and let dry. I apply Vitamin C serum to my forehead, nose, cheeks, ears, behind ears, neck and chest. Rub and massage well until absorbed. Once absorbed, I apply my Vitamin C lotion to the same areas and massage in well. I then take a Q-Tip and apply a generous coat of glycerin under my eyes (over the retinol). Spritz face and chest with rose water and let dry naturally. Move on to next step, HANDS!Skin (hands / feet, bedtime) - After my face, I move on to bedtime hands. Wash hands and feet thoroughly and gently exfoliating cloth. I apply 5 drops of collagen serum to the back of each hand and massage in thoroughly. I apply 10 drops of collagen serum to each foot and massage in thoroughly. I then apply a generous coat of Vitamin C lotion to my hands and massage thoroughly. Apply an extra generous amount to feet, focusing on between the toes and heels, put on socks. I put on my spandex gloves now and spritz the back of my gloves with water. When I'm ready to go to sleep, I take off my gloves and socks and go to bed.Skin (face, morning) - When I get up in the morning, I wash my face with lukewarm water. With a Q-Tip I apply Vitamin C serum under my eyes and my crows feet. I then apply my Vitamin C lotion to the rest of my face, ears, neck and chest. I then take another Q-Tip and apply glycerin to my under eyes. Spritz face and chest with rose water. Take a cotton round, cut in half and wet it with rose water, apply to under eyes for 15 minutes. Remove cotton round after 15 minutes. Done!I know it seems like a lot but, it truly isn't. The end result is so incredibly worth it - no more crepey skin or fine lines under my eyes when I smile and I look 10 years younger.TIPS: If your Vitamin C seems like it's just floating on your skin or feels sticky after you apply it - it's most likely because your skin is already hydrated and can't absorb anymore moisture. I personally just deal with it because of the other benefits of Vitamin C.If it seems like your Vitamin C regimen isn't working and your skin is still dehydrated - your environment is most likely to dry. Try getting a cold air humidifier and let it run through the day - I have my humidifier sitting in front of my rotating fan for better moisture circulation. My home is particularly dry which is why I spritz and dampen my gloves at bedtime. If your environment is to dry, your Vitamin C will pull moisture from the skin and make you look drier (wrinklier). Humidity (I prefer cold because it's already to hot here) helps A LOT!Be patient, it could take up to about a week to start seeing sustainable results. I've been using this regimen for about 2 weeks and now seeing incredible results. I missed a regimen a few days ago and didn't have time to do my routine, right before I put my makeup on, I spritzed with rose water and massaged my under eyes with the rose water and my skin plumped right up and held up for the day.

UPDATE:After I closed the pump, I could not get it to open back up. I contacted Advanced Clinicals and they showed me a video of how to open the pump. But the pump they showed in the video is a newer different version from the one that I had on my lotion container. They ended up sending me a replacement pump. So I'm good now. I deducted one star because the Amazon experience has not been good with broken containers and poor quality pumps, but the lotion is amazing and if you ever get a good container with a pump that works you should be really happy with your purchase.PREVIOUS REVIEW:If you order this lotion, take my advice and only order it from the Amazon third party seller "MWsales". They do a terrific job of wrapping and packaging the lotion container, so it will arrive safe and sound. If you look at the pictures and reviews, you will see that 99% of the other third party sellers do a very poor job of packaging the lotion containers and they will arrive busted and cracked with lotion leaking all over the place. It actually happened to me too. Mine busted in transit and had to be returned to the shipper before it ever arrived at my place. But I saw the reviews for "MWsales" were good, so I gave them a try and they did a terrific job.I spent my entire life not using lotion at all. I eventually started using lotion on my feet, but I don't apply it that often. I have known for many years that my face could use some lotion. It's apparent in the winter time when I look in the mirror and see how dry it looks, especially if I have been blowing my nose with tissue. There have been a few times when I would apply lotion to my face and dead skin would peel off my face which I think was also an indication that the skin on my face was too dry and not properly nourished.I tried various lotions on my face and they all sucked. They would be thick and unpleasant to apply to my face. And they would clog my pores and cause pimples. This year, I got to thinking that I need a really thin lotion that is almost like water. Then it wouldn't clog my pores and it wouldn't be as unpleasant to apply to my face. After a lot of research, I saw this Advanced Clinicals lotion and it looked perfect to me. From the pictures and videos, it looked to be a thin lotion. Because I ordered the Retinal lotion, it means it has Vitamin A and is good for the skin. And there are even other ingredients like Aloe Vera, etc. that are good for the skin. I had thought about getting a tiny tube of lotion, but when I saw the Advanced Clinicals lotion container, I decided that I like it better because it is a good size, will have enough lotion to last me a long time, and at a good price. It's also easy to dispense the lotion, and I just like the overall appearance and design of the container (even though it busts and cracks easily during shipping).So I gave it a try, and the lotion has been great. I haven't had a single pore clog up. I haven't gotten a single pimple. The lotion is so fast and easy to apply. It is effortless to apply. It just glides on the skin and doesn't take long to be absorbed. It's not too thin and it's not too thick. It's just right and perfect. It leaves my skin feeling great right after I apply it. It doesn't burn like some reviewers said. Well, there is the tiniest bit burning sensation that is temporary. But it's not a big deal, only last a few seconds, and doesn't cause any redness or allergic reactions. And it cures the dryness of my skin.I highly recommend this lotion. But remember to carefully choose which third party Amazon seller you order from. I recommend "MWsales". Take the time to look at the customer pictures and reviews and you will see how there are countless customers who received this lotion container cracked and busted open. You don't want to experience that. Or have to deal with delayed or cancelled shipping, or be forced to ask for a refund or have to return items. Save yourself the time and just order from a responsible third party Amazon seller to begin with.

Have only used this cream for three days but am already loving it! Is a nice consistency and goes on smoothly; absorbs quickly with no sticky residue. An ever so faint scent. Have used on face, arms, legs, and feet. No noticeable change in skin texture yet, but leaves skin feeling smoother. Appreciate the size of the container for the price and the pump gives out just the right amount. Have never used this skin care brand before, but am now eager to try some of their other products.
