- Q
Do I need to use a separate retinol serum with this product?
- Asked by B
- Official Answer By StriVectin - SamplingIf you're aiming to achieve a specific level of retinol, you're welcome to use additional retinol products alongside this one. However, we recommend patch testing the combination by applying the formulas from the lightest to the heaviest consistency. This will help ensure that your skin doesn’t react negatively. That said, it's not essential to use multiple retinol products; you may find that this one alone is sufficient to address your skin concerns.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
What percentage of Vitamin C does this product have?
- Asked by Sharon
- Official Answer By StriVectin - SamplingThis serum has two potent forms of Vitamin C to visibly firm, restore clarity & brighten dull, tired skin. It includes Acerola Cherry which is a highly concentrated source of pure Vitamin C. We do not give out percentages as it is proprietary information.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
What product has the strongest content of retinol and can this be used on the entire face?
- Asked by Pat
- Official Answer By StriVectin - SamplingYes, our Super-C Retinol Brighten & Correct Vitamin C Serum can be used on the entire face, just be careful around the eye area. You'll apply this product AM & PM daily. When using this during the daytime, just make sure you include sunscreen as the very last step of your skincare routine. Since the product contains Retinol, it will make your skin susceptible to sunburn without any protection of SPF.

- Q
Is the cherry brightening okay for rosacea? And do I need additional moisturizer with this product?
- Asked by Katie
- Official Answer By StriVectin - SamplingThe Acerola Cherry within the Super-C Retinol Brighten & Correct Vitamin C Serum shouldn't impact your rosacea. It's a highly concentrated source of pure Vitamin C that visibly brightens, firms and restores radiance to the skin. To prevent any rosacea irritation, we recommend not rubbing the serum into the skin during application but instead warming the product in your palms first and then gently pressing it into the skin. If you feel like your skin is lacking in hydration once the formula has absorbed, I would recommend adding a moisturizer. We normally recommend a moisturizer no matter what, but I know some customer's have preferences with use of serums only instead of moisturizers. However, adding a moisturizer just helps with hydration and added skincare benefit, which can help boost the performance of every product you're using within your regimen. I hope this helps answer your questions. Feel free to reach out to care@strivectin.com if you have any additional questions or need product recommendations!Was this answer helpful to you

Worth trying if you're getting into the skincare game
I know it's good practice to have both of these things implemented into a skincare routine so I was excited to try this since the formula has both Retinol AND Vitamin C in the formula..I was taking 2 steps and combining them! This was my first time using Retinol and I was worried because I read it ...

Not doing this again.
I was excited to try this but was concerned about the mix i.e. Retinol + Vit C. I didn't realize these could be mixed as most sites say not to mix a retinoid and an acid. I am not new to retinols. I used this 2x a week, Tue, Fri, for two weeks. One day I had to take a double look at my face and ...

The smell…
This product may have benefits if you are able to use the entire bottle, but i could not get past the awful smell to use it more than a few times.
Worth every penny!
Everytime I try a different product to save money, I always go back to this product. This product keeps my skin clear, bright, and smooth. The combo of vit. C and retinol is perfect. It's not drying at all. It's worth every penny!
Love it but it was way overpriced.
I think. Could have found something similar for 1/2 of what I paid. It did lighten up my age spots in less than a week and still going strong.
Great product
I'm almost done with the bottle and I'm very satisfied with this product. My skin looks more even and glowing. My only complain is the smell (I got used to it) and it feels a little sticky for an hour or two.
Amazing!
I have very sensitive skin, when i get acne it leaves me dark marks that last months and with this serum it fades them in days !!!!
