Dial up skin clarity and brightening with the stellar Rohto Obagi C10 Vitamin C Serum

After I last shared with you about one of my favourite (and affordable) Vitamin C serums from Japan, we quickly saw it appear in our local pharmacies! I take no credit for it (I’m not THAT influential), but it was fortuitous! LOL!

Now, I’m hoping for another miracle to happen with the Obagi C10 Vitamin C Serum.

As you have correctly guessed, this too is another well-rated and well-performing Vitamin C serum for me. I remembered reading about it for so long that when I headed to Japan earlier this year, I only had one item on my shopping list – the Obagi Vitamin C serum.

Happily (or unhappily), this turned out to be another winner in my books! But not for the wallet as you will soon see.

I tried the Pixi Hydrating Milky Mist and Pixi Vitamin Wakeup Mist and discovered I really love one of them!

You know I love my facial mists, and I’d been curious about the mists from Pixi for a while. But it wasn’t until I had a few people recommend them to me, that I took a look. I added the Pixi Hydrating Milk Mist and the Pixi Vitamin Wakeup Mist to my stash while on one of my online shopping jaunts to see what the fuss was about.

You can now get Pixi Beauty at Sephora stores, but I’m hardly ever at Sephora, so I prefer to just get them online.

Pixi has a few different mists in their collection, but for a start, I decided to try 2. Just to see how I’d like them. I have to say though, that they absolutely lived up to my expectations! 🙂

I love the Melano CC Intensive Anti-Spot Essence so much I almost did not want to tell you about it!

I’d been debating for a while whether to spill the beans on one of my favourite Vitamin C serums to date.

On the one hand, there are some things I’d like to keep to my self, hugging it to my chest with a sly smile, knowing it’s my little secret. On the other hand, I’m a damn blogger, prone to sharing LOL!

So, I guess I’ll tell you about the Melano CC Intensive Anti-Spot Essence aka Melano CC Vitamin C Essence after all.

Melano CC, from what I understand, is a Japanese brand under the Rohto-Mentholatum umbrella (the same one that houses Hada Labo). If I’m not mistaken, they only have one range, which focuses on the use of Vitamin C.

I remember someone telling me about it once, a few years ago. It wasn’t until I came upon it in a pharmacy that I decided to pick one up to try. Yes, Melano CC is found in pharmacies (or drugstores) in Japan and in some other countries ~~(but not yet Malaysia, unfortunately! So read on at your peril)~~ Apparently, that’s changed! 🙂

Vitamin C is found in oranges but be warned, Paula’s Choice Resist C15 Super Booster smells nothing like oranges!

I wouldn’t be a beauty blogger if I hadn’t heard about Paula’s Choice skincare. I’d come across it for years before I began blogging. But there have been various personal reasons that have prevented me from trying her products. Access is one, and ideologies are another. But hey, for the sake (or love) of Vitamin C serum, I put aside my prejudices and tried the Paula’s Choice Resist C15 Super Booster.

I first came across this one on Tine’s blog (come back Tine!) and I believe that she has been using Vitamin C serums long before I have. I am about 3/4 of the way through this bottle, and I think I’m finally able to form some sort of opinion about it.

The first thing I should note, is the scent. Oh, what an interesting scent it has! 😛
