I've bought several different brands but this one is my favorite. I also put it on my face for hyperpigmentation. There's another brand that's popular in this sub that I keep forgetting to try, but I keep forgetting the name. There was a really popular post awhile back where this girl had a tattoo cut out of her finger and stitched up. She used a vitamin C serum that I'm itching to try because her scar vanished in like, 6 months.
Has anyone tried any Oz Natural products?
Specifically the Vitamin C Serum. The price seems almost too good to be true. But, I am a bit worried about the "stabilization" as well as the pH level.
I have been shopping around for a new vitamin C serum (I use OST's C20. Nothing wrong with it, just curious of what else is out there) and I came across the Oz Naturals one: http://www.amazon.ca/OZ-Naturals-Hyaluronic-Neutralizing-AVAILABLE/dp/B00DPE9EQO/ref=sr_1_2?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1417015694&sr=1-2
It has glowing reviews (though some of them look suspicious...) but I cannot find any other information, like the pH, elsewhere, not even /r/SkincareAddiction.
I emailed them asking for the pH and a nice lady emailed back saying the pH averages 9.7 since they use Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate which converts to LAA once absorbed and it needs the high pH to do that and remain stable. Does anyone know if this is true? I am so used to vitamin C serums being below 4 so 9.7 seems high to me!
Issues: PIE :( I've been getting teeny breakouts around the corners of my mouth/chin and red/pink spots that won't fade for months. I also need to work on not touching my face. Just got a job after being unemployed for 2 months so I think that will help with stress.
My shampoo could be irritating my face. Lush Jersey Bounce which has sodium laureth sulfate. I just love that it makes my hair nice and doesn't irritate my dry scalp, but definitely open to suggestions!
Skin type: I guess it's in between oily/dry. I have very sensitive skin that breaks out with many products.
Current routine:
AM
Cerave Cleanser, Hydrating, for Normal to Dry Skin
Cerave PM
Sunscreen - have been switching between Cerave AM & Biore Sarasara UV Watery Essence
PM
Cerave Cleanser, Hydrating, for Normal to Dry Skin
Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 8% AHA Gel Exfoliant
Cerave PM
*Edit: Sorry, I've been using this routine for probably a solid 2-3 years now. I use Cerave in the tub in the winter sometimes when my skin feels drier (apply with a cotton pad I swoop through the tub...). Other relevant details: I use one washcloth each time I dry my face, lightly patting it dry. And I try to change my pillowcases at least once a week. I use a sensitive skin detergent but might need to spring for a new one.
For awhile I used Oz Naturals Vitamin C serum and I felt like it helped, but after reading more in this sub, wasn't sure it was "legit" vitamin c. Thoughts? Should I spring for Paula's Choice?
Any advice is much appreciated!
Curious, does anyone have any thoughts on the Oz Naturals vitamin C serum?

Thank you for replying, and I believe that my scars are pigmented and I made a new list on the products mentioned in that PIH info
Is it okay to buy vitamin c serums from Amazon? I was specifically looking at
http://www.amazon.com/OZ-Naturals-Hyaluronic-Neutralizing-Radicals/dp/B00DPE9EQO and http://www.amazon.com/Botanical-Hyaluronic-Moisturizer-Ingredients-Gradually/dp/B00G75X158/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1420219876&sr=8-7&keywords=vitamin+c+serum
Very in depth and thorough, thanks!
Would you think any of these might be beneficial to me?

Edit: Which product that you mentioned would be best for the scarring?
I've been using OZ naturals for about 6 months, with very good results.

Ok, I'm coming back to you after reading the side bar because I'm still confused (sorry, literally never heard of most of the terms used before).
When the post refers to using "vitamin C" do they mean taking a vitamin supplement orally or applying it directly to your face, like this:
http://www.amazon.com/OZ-Naturals-Hyaluronic-Neutralizing-Satisfaction/dp/B00DPE9EQO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1407766608&sr=8-4&keywords=vitamin+c
Just because it's a pretty mild problem, I don't want to get on a prescription or anything too harsh for it, so I thought I'd try the more homeopathic stuff first.
thanks!
I've recently gotten some bad breakouts, and went to my GP and was given some new prescriptions. I was also warned about potentially overtreating my acne.
Now I don't really have too many pimples and what I do have benzoyl peroxide takes care. Rather, its generally red patches I have over my face, as well as a few scabs.
Here is my routine. I've just started on Retin-A, but I had been using Differn for a few years now, so I assume my face is used to it. As well as the glycolic fix pads. Am I overtreating? Are there any suggestions for improvement with this routine?
AM:
Wash Face (micellar water)
Glycolic fix night pads (salicylic acid+5% glycolic acid+lactic acid+lactic acid)
Vitamin C serum
Take antibotic
PM:
Wash face (micellar water)
Retin-A
Moisturize Nivea cream
Thanks guys!
