I have terrible sun damage on my face

It's making me feel incredibly down.

So I'm going to buy a Vit C, but there's soooooo many.
Could someone please help a drowning woman out and just tell me exactly which one to buy, which one worked for you.

I'm on a strict Coronavirus induced budget so much as I'd love to visit a professional, it's face care for me right now.

Much appreciation in advance.

@Mammy99 They are good it’s just that if it’s bad damage and you want fast results you need prescription products. I use them on the nights I’m not using dermatica.

I’m a recently new dermatica user - on 0.025% tret plus niacinimide. The first month I just paid postage, after that it’s £20/month plus postage. If you use less then you can space out your deliveries. I’m 48 with dull uneven skin and minor sun damage. At this point there isn’t much visible difference but my skin feels so much smoother. My daughter (20) commented on my skin today and asked what I’m doing differently. At night I cleanse my skin, put on the tret, then a moisturiser - any will do really. In the mornings I cleanse, use hada labo hyuralonic (not sure this is doing much tbh) then a cheap moisturiser and spf. The mostly highly recommended facial spf for tret users seems to be the ambre Solaire factor 50 in a square bottle for £7

Thank you for all the Dematica info. I'll have to give it a go.

I've sworn by this company's stuff for the past 15 (I think) years. I had really dreadful sun damage on my face from extreme sun worship. I saw a cosmetic surgeon about having it removed he refused, said my very fair skin would go back to the same condition if I got it in the sun and I'd be disappointed, suggested the best thing was getting really good sun products and using them religiously. I use the stuff in the link and now have no marks at all on my face, you would never know they were there. The isdin creams are incredibly light and you dont need much. I reapply once my make up(bare minetals powder) has disappeared after a few hours and it doesnt make me look a molten mess. It's very user friendly. I did try with tretinoin(order from online spanish pharmacy) in the winter and it did make me look fresher, didnt affect skin tone. The isdin has been miraculous .
