Sephora

New York Magazine and The Cut spend pages asking why Vitamin-C products smell like hot dogs. I read reviews here on Sephora and notice complaints of meat smellin` V-C creams serums.... No one knew why to summarize -- not even dermatologists. A popular skincare line with non-smelling/wreaking Vitamin C serum had their chemist respond back with a "maybe, we don't know" answer. Vitamin-C in is odorless - no smell. I wonder if Vitamin-C serums that are fat-based, not water-based, smell too? I vote no. Water smells after a while. I use fatty emulsions and serums on my skin, oh yes, with the least amount of water possible water gets dirty and more water more preservative, less good stuff to feed our skin. Something comparable in bio-activity and bio-availability would be The Ordinary Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F which is a fatty, not watery, solution that bolsters a tetra-based vitamin C with vitamin F ("tetra" means containing four atoms of a specified kind). OR my next thought is to alternate to a Retinoic Nutrient Face Oil since they don't smell like meat, but instead, utilize Vitamin A and Rose Hip for that same brightening & anti-aging effect through the anti-oxidative processes that people seek from V-C. If you're open, try Tata Harper Retinoic Nutrient Face Oil With Vitamin A. Also Dr. Barbara Sturm Clarifying Serum ingredients look good. I really want to try it out! If you have other suggestions post them here. Thank you! Review with lots of pictures to come. My vitamin serum: viscous, stays at top of my fingers.Look a the luster it stays on for hours. No smell, I can't take fragrances well on the face skin.It is very fatty and I feel it's the LIPID BI-LAYERS.Get Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm 1.7 oz/ 50 mLGreat to clean with that leaves nutrients leftover. It so fatty, I go for it. See me serum is viscous, doesn't smell. Face stays shiny. Love the natural scent. I look like Steve Nicks in STAND BACK. Anyway that stuff won't fall, it is nice faty n plump. I look dull I want a glow.Got it, no smell at all. I want to do reviews and on Sturm and Tata Harper. Got me curious!
