I had discovered the Nutra-Lift Maximum C-Ultra ($37 in the TIA shop) when I first became aware of the line here on TIA a couple of years ago. To me, this is a multitasking and very useful product and at $37 for an ounce (which goes a long way) a remarkably good value. It has more body than the typical serum—almost somewhere between a serum and a lotion—and I find it very moisturizing. In fact, I used it all summer without a moisturizer under sunscreen; and when I remember, I put a bit on my hands after finishing my face. Like other Nutra-Lift products, it comes in a low-tech pump (so of course at the end I unscrew the nozzle to eke out the last globs), which delivers the product easily. I will certainly keep Maximum C around

I have oily, blemish prone skin, and have tried many vit C potions with no luck so far. They all tend to wreak havoc on my skin, leaving tiny bumps behind. I used Nutra-Lift for about two weeks on my face and the back of my hands, when the bumps appeared on my face. I did however, continue to use this on the back of my hands for the next three weeks. There are two small “sun-spots” on the back of my left hand, and in general they are very dry and get chapped very easily.
The two little “spots” on my left had have faded to barely noticeable except in bright light. I do not find this serum very hydrating at all, even when used on my face, and I can see where it might dry someone out if not using a good moisturizer on top. I don’t have wrinkles on my hands, so I can’t speak of its ability or effectiveness on reducing wrinkles, but I do feel like this is a good brightener. If I could use this on my face, I might actually buy a bottle, but it’s a little pricey just for my hands.
