Did you order from bulksupplements? I haven't ordered their vitamin c, but I liked a few of their other supplements.

I tried it, but didn't notice that it had any effect. My skin didn't look any different and my age spots didn't fade.

This one is popular with some beauty You Tubers:

It's $25 for 20% Vitamin C. I kept mine in the refrigerator to keep it fresher longer.

Paula's Choice has a new one that is 25%. It's pricier though, $55. Right now it's on sale for $46.75.

Yes that was the seller. They had many great reviews!

Thank you to those of you who recommended the Emjoi. I bought the version for men because my feet are that horrible. I ordered it from Amazon (non Prime seller) It came with what it says are the extra coarse roller, but they are a different color than the ones I ordered separately that are extra coarse.

I don't know if it is because I am hypothyroid, but the skin on my heels and feet is horribly cracked/dry. I went to a podiatrist five years ago, and he thought I was diabetic-I'm not-that's how bad they are. He worked on them and gave me a prescription cream which did nothing. Since my co-pay for "specialists" is now sixty dollars, I figured why not spend $30 on this thing which had glowing Amazon reviews and give it a try. I have only used it once, and it REALLY worked. It will probably take a couple of weeks for them to look more "normal." I put on "Healthy Feet" cream afterwards-from the same company as "Working Hands" cream, which someone on here recommended. (that worked really well-thank you!)

I will continue to use it daily and apply the cream afterwards. I am so glad to find something that worked.

Just wanted to say that Signature Club A on HSN has good Vit C capsules that stay fresh because they are hermetically sealed and fresh for 1 time use each. I've gotten wonderful results from themwith also using my LED/ultrasonic facial machine that I've spoke about on here before. I'm 55 and have no facial wrinkes and only one neck ring that I'm working on that's slowly fading, as I didn't always include my neck, big mistake.

Can someone recommend a good 100% pure argan oil brand to use for hair and face. There are so many on Amazon not sure which one is good. Thanks!

I buy a lot of oils from Mountain Rose Herbs. They are a leader in essential oils, carrier oils and other botanicals. Here is their argan oil.

I like Aura Cacia Argan oil a lot.

I am going to have my hair darkened with low lights in a few weeks, as years of highlighting has left it too light. It will be quite expensive and I want to preserve the colour. I would appreciate recommendations for colour treated hair shampoo and conditioners. My hair is very straight, so I prefer products that create volume (or at the very least do not leave hair flat). Thanks for any suggestions!

What is the LED ultrasonic ultrasound facial machine you use? What results have you seen? How often do you use it?
