Favorite Product of the Week - Obagi C-Clarifying Serum
In response to numerous comments and questions about Vivite Vibrance, this week’s product of the week is an Obagi product that works very well with Vivite Vibrance, Obagi C-Clarifying Serum. Obagi C-Clarifying Serum contains Vitamin C plus 4% hydroquinone, the highest prescription strength of hydroquinone commercially available. As mentioned in previous blog entries, I prefer to mix a hydroquinone-containing product with Vivite Vibrance for optimal lightening of brown spots. My personal “recipe” is to mix a dropper full of Obagi C-Clarifying Serum with 1-2 pumps of Vivite Vibrance in my palm then apply it to my face, neck, hands or wherever I want to lighten my skin, twice daily. This mixture seems to work better than either product alone.
Vivite Vibrance is available without a prescription but only through physicians. We have it at both of our spas, my office and on our website for purchase. Obagi C-Clarifying Serum is not sold through our website as it is prescription strength and therefore illegal to sell via the internet without a prescription. It is available at my office for sale however. You can also call us at 949-363-1788 for other purchasing options.
Purchase both of these products through my office and save $20 through 10/31/08. Call us at 949-363-1788 or stop by and mention this blog special.

Do you feel that the Obagi C-RX Clarifying Serum works better with the Vivite than the Obagi Clear? Do you have to mixed them together in your hands, or can you apply the clarifying serum first and then the Vibrance, or is you feeling that mixing them together makes them work better?

I like both but the Obagi Clarifying Serum seems to blend well with the Vivite Vibrance (mix together in your hand) and the vitamin C in the Clarifying Serum adds some extra benefit. If you have the Obagi Clear you can certainly use it also, either mix the two together in your hand or apply the Clear first.

In answer to a question I had regarding which product to apply first, the Vivite Vibrance or Obagi Clear, I usually say apply the Clear first or mix the 2 together. The Vibrance and Obagi C clarifying serum should be mixed together when applying that combination.
