I swear I was just thinking about looking up "vitamin c dr dray" on TH-cam 😅🤣
Thanks for watching
Same!
Omg me too 🤣 I was thinking of buying one
Did I not say she is a magician🤣🤣🤣
Seriously I looked up too few days ago
Everything I love about Dr. Dray is in this video! She is thorough, honest, and reasonable. Her explanations are easy to understand without talking down to her audience. I would love to find a dermatologist like her!
I respectfully disagree.
Yes!
Too long winded and promotes big-pharma too much.
@@subs4794 some of us appreciate the science explanation behind skincare products. Her recommendations are honest and evidence-based. In this video she actually recommends against buying vitamin c serum. The opposite of promoting big pharma
@@rosemaryd284get off the channel then you sad troll
Great perspective on the “over-sciencification” 😁 at the end of the day, there is also value to people’s anecdotal experience with their skincare products and routines 🤷🏻♂️ I’m a Registered Dietitian and I really resonate with this message when it comes to food and nutrition as well - too many people these days reducing food to its “macro” composition and other nutrient components, when at the end of the day food is so much more! Love your content Dr. Dray 😊
I am so glad to hear you say this! I'm 65 and have always taken care of my skin, but the vast number of products is daunting. I tried a highly recommended and expensive Vit C Serum about 10 years ago, used it for about a week, and it irritated my skin so much I discontinued it. Even so, I still have wondered if I needed a Vit C cream of some type. I'm glad to hear it is not necessary. I do take Vit C supplements orally for my overall immune system and feel that it does give my body a boost especially in the cold and flu season. Thank for your no-nonsense videos. I always learn something from you! Just one more thing: I had a pedicure a few days ago and the nail technician rubbed slices of fresh oranges on my toes and cuticles. I had never had that treatment before, but it felt great. LOL I'm not sure exactly what it was supposed to do, but I did feel pampered.
Here in Canada, Marcelle has recently come out with 3 new serums. I picked up the vitamin C one and the retinol one. Been using both for a couple weeks now and so far I'm liking them and no irritation.
At $182/oz I’m passing in Skinceuticals Vit. C. I just started using Timewise COQ10 on your suggestion and am loving it.
I use the Timeless 20% Vitamin C. I started using it hoping it would reduce some really obvious melasma I had. Over a 4-6 month period it actually reduced the melasma so much even my sons commented (guys don't usually notice things like that!). Based on my personal experience I continue to use the Timeless 20% Vit C. I have seen my melasma virtually disappear and stay gone! That's what convinces me that it is getting enoiugh Vitamin C into my skin! Great video as always, so informative!
This is amazing news. I have melasma and started timeless. Need to get it 12+ weeks.
Wow. I’ve been using Timeless 20% C too. Wish my melasma disappeared. Are you using anything else along with it?
Thank you for this post, Rowena. I decided to move from the very pricey SkinCeuticals to recognize some significant savings by switching. I’m happy to hear Timeless is working well for you!
Wow I’m happy for you ❤
What other actives do you use ?
@@kwclove7623 are you also using spf 30 every day (the right amount) and reapplying?
I’ve been using Dermalogica’s Biolumin C serum for many years and love it. I’ve tried several other popular brands and they don’t work nearly as well for me. I feel like dermalogica’s really makes a difference for my skin.
The Paula’s choice 10% Azeleic acid/ 0.5% salcylic acid serum has proven to be my miracle “skin brightening” ingredient in addition to my 0.025% tretinoin. I’ve tried vitamin C and I was sensitive to it. Just a reminder that it’s okay if you can’t tolerate this ingredient or it doesn’t work in your budget!
thanks for this - I’m going to try it
I really think the PC azelaic acid booster is their best product. I love it. I've tried the face theory one, and I DO like it, but I think the PC one has been easier on my skin.
So far I’ve tried Timeless 10%, Maelove and The Ordinary Vit C Suspension. My fave has been Timeless so far in terms of the way it feels on my skin and price.
I've only used the Acure Brightening Vitamin C & Ferulic Oil which I really liked. This was some years ago, and at the time I thought it was responsible for how quickly my dark marks disappeared, but then I remembered I was also using Cereve Resurfacing Retinol at the same time.
@@Drdrayyz Hey Dr Dray, thanks so much. Best skin of my life thanks to you, and some genetics :)
One thing I've noticed about Skinceuticals and their dupes (Timeless, Maelove, Dr Brenner) is they have a large amount of ethoxydiglycol in them, aka Transcutol. This allows the alcohol soluble ferulic acid to be dissolved, but also it's a powerful skin penetration agent and I'm not sure you'd get nearly the same vitamin C penetration without it. Also, whatever I put on afterwards seems to get very good penetration rather than sit on top of the skin, especially if it is alcohol soluble like Tazarotene.
I love Maelove's vitamin C serum!
Very interesting 🤔 That's a good info for DIYourselfers
@@auricia201 actually I've been putting a little pure resveratrol powder from lotioncrafters into mine and it mixes into the ethoxydiglycol very nicely.
@@chadh6855may I ask which one you are using currently? I have Cerave’s vitamin c but whenever I use it my skin peels off and I hate it. I once got a skinceuticals c e ferulic gifted to me and used it; great result. but it’s expensive. I was thinking to try timeless this time but unsure
I’ve tried a bunch from budget end to top of the line. The only two that seem to work for my skin are the Skinceuticals C E Ferulic and one from iS Clinical. With both of those I notice brightening effects. I’m really happy with my skin and it’s the only pricey item I purchase so I’ll continue.
I pair timeless 20% L-ascorbic with sunscreen and I feel pretty good about it! ❤
I love your honest reviews of products and chemicals that may or may not improve skin. Thank you!
At an age where the sun damage really affects the pigmentation on my face and hands, I was happy to discover the Skinceuticals product. This video was great! I love all the info you share with your viewers. Foods that we eat with vitamin C are important, also.
I've been using Biobare Vitamin C, B, E & Ferulic Serum for years. It's not a well known brand, but I think it's pretty good & considerably less expensive than SkinCeuticals. Thanks for another great video!
My holy grail is Dr Brenner's. I love how it feels on my skin and the ingredients & it never oxidizes on me. I've tried Timeless & not a fan of its watery consistency & packaging. I also tried Maelove, but it oxidized after only about a week and 1/2. I've also tried the Truth Treatments C Balm & love it, but the price is out of this world! Dr Brenner's for the win. 🏆🍊
Loved this video! I've been using the Versed Stroke of Brilliance Brightening Serum every other morning for years now. It has reduced the uneven tone and texture of my skin more than any other product ever has and I have a feeling that has more to do with the licorice root extract than the Vitamin C.
I love timeless and can honestly say there is a definite improvement in the skin under my eyes.
Angie at Hot and flashy TH-cam channel has done a great video testing the P.H stability of some vitamin c products. She recommended the good ones and shows the ones that's dont have proper P.h so wouldn't do anything! Great video.
Your honesty is really appreciated Thank you
I use Timeless and have for years. I really like it. Thanks for this video, very informative!💜
I have been using the Timeless Vit C serum for 3 years. LOVE it. Found the skinceuticals way too costly and didn’t feel like it made a difference.
My favorite Vitamin C serum is the Paulas Choice Super Antioxidant serum. I've tried many serums and that one has really made a huge difference and helped with reducing my hyperpigmentation. I got my mom to use it too for the anti aging benefits, she loves it
Yes, I LOVE that serum too! I've been using it for years. I like to put it over top of my 10% Vitamin C serum.
I like this too! It's moisturizing, and adding a few drops of the PC C15 booster thins the thicker serum out as well. 😊
JUST THE BEST scientific, not hype, based information!
Dr Dray keeping it real as always !
I have been using Timeless 20% followed by Cetaphil, and have seen immediate improvement with a huge glow and added bounciness/a sort of light puffiness to my skin that lasts for about 48 hours! I've never had anything like this glowing reaction, even with long-term tretinoin and HA use. I want to try the Skinceuticals type, but it's so expensive. This video was very helpful! We appreciate you.
What Cetaphil product(s) do you use?
Yesterday i ordered Timeless 20% and the CoQ10 serums . They have 40% off Vday sale. Like u, ive been using 0.10% tret w/niacinamide for 2 years with no visible improvement.
Did you have hyperpigmentation or anything?
I get the same results! Love it.
@@midlifemom5829 where did u get a 40% off code?!?!
I love the way Dr. Dray responds to comments. Just as blunt and straight to the point as she is in her videos😂
This may be the best informaton on vit C I have seen. Thank you.
I really appreciate you’re super nuanced and careful and neutral approach. No one ever goes into this much detail. Thank you thank you!
I literally just started a Vitamin C product this week and went to search your channel. Amazing timing Dr. Dray!
I have rosacea and super sensitive skin. I use the Ghost Democracy Vitamin C serum. It doesn’t irritate my skin and I really enjoy it. I’m not sure how much vitamin C I’m getting, but my skin loves it!
I love the Skinceuticals phloretin CF. I'm seeing amazing results on sunspots. I'm on my 3rd bottle in about 14 months. It's expensive but effective. Thanks Dr. Dray for all the wonderful advice
Its the only one I have seen results! And results- wow! Within dayssssss.
Is it sticky after you apply it? I have Skinceuticals too and have noticed when I put it on a bare face it’s sticky
@@daniellemerritt253 yes I do find it sticky. It doesn't bother me because I put lotion/sunscreen over it.
OMG! This was eye opening! So informative! Thanks. 😀
Wowww...you cut it right to the chase! Thank you for your honest opinions and best recommendations!
Thank you for this !!! You may have just saved me from burning my skin again. I tried a free sample of Tula’s Vit C and it burned my face so badly that I could barely tolerate simple moisturizer for almost a week. I was considering ordering a “brightening” kit from PC but am still nervous about using VC again. You just helped me decided to just say no. Thank you!!!
I’m over 50 and have tried many vitamin C serums, believe me. I hate to admit it, but I have had the absolute best results with SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic. I almost wish it didn’t perform so well because of the obscene price point. Nothing comes close.
I really am so appreciative of these videos. Dr. Dray. You're amazing!
Dr Dray - your hair is looking so thick and gorgeous now! You can really see how well the iRestore is working.
The Ordinary 8% Ascorbic Acid 2% Alpha Airbutin is amazing! I am Black and am prone to hyperpigmentation and that stops it in it's tracks.
I might give that one a try, I’ve used others from TO and while they didn’t irritate my skin they did nothing for hyperpigmentation. 🤔
I’ve been using Timeless vitamin C for awhile and I’m always told that I glow.
Best video about vitamin C. Thank you! greetings from Colombia
I've been using Vitamin C serums (L-Ascorbic Acid form) for 3 year. I have used CEF, PCF, SCF from Skinceuticals, Obagi VC US range (C20), Obagi VC Japan range (C10, C20, C25), Timeless 20% VC, and a bunch of other products. I have oily skin, my face always tend very dull (sometimes dark) just 2h after cleanser. These VC serums definitely works on my skin, keeping me glow all the time.
Which one do u recommend the most
@@silverbowftw5225 I think it depends on your condition and preferences. My fav are those from Skinceuticals and Obagi Japan range. If you have oily and acne skins, try PCF, SCF, and Timeless, while Obagi and CEF are more suitable for dry skin. Obagi Japan C25 has the most delightful citric fragrance which I like, but its too expensive and hard to get. Timeless is a good bargain.
@@silverbowftw5225 I find Obagi 20% to be work the best. I have tried numerous and saw a big difference at theh10 week mark. I do want to point out I am a retin a user and a 365 day a year sun screen user which is an important part of the process for the best results in my personal opinion.
I use the Elizabeth Arden vitamin c with ceramide and I have no idea if it does anything. 🤷♀️ I do however love how it makes my skin feel! I find it very moisturizing and dewy..I buy it at Costco when it’s on sale. Great video
I use and like the Peter Thomas Roth Potent-C Power Serum. I would love to see a review from you on the ingredients.
So happy you did this video!💕
Dr.Dray. You are amazing. This is the first time I watched your video but your honesty and reasonable totally got me hooked.
I've only tried 2 vitamin c serums. SkinCeuticals and Timeless. In my experience there was no difference in performance. Both worked great for me. Timeless is the winner cost wise and for results.
Do you still use the Timeless one?
Timeless 20% vitamin C is identical to CE Ferulic, I've used both for years, and now use timeless exclusively. I use it for collagen/anti aging purposes and have seen the benefits. Will continue to use it.
Thank you for your insight into this topic. You are so smart and knowledgeable. Have a terrific day. 🥰
So appreciate your knowledge!
My favorite is the Vitamin C serum complex from Skin Lab. All I know is it never creates irritation (I struggle with this), it’s effective, and relatively affordable. Highly recommend if anyone is wanting to try different projects.
Use the Timeless here... thanks as always for the clarity! 💜💜💜
Thanks for watching
Ive tried about 4 different Vit C serums and the only one I noticed a difference with was MaeLove Glowmaker, so I’ll keep buying it because it does good things for my skin 😊
PLEASE make a video about the specific chemical processes that occur with the skin in terms of ascorbic acid absorption. Include why some Derms say it absorbs and some say it doesn't. 🙏
Andreya I swear your hair grows at least an inch a week! 😍
my favorite is C-glow from geek and gorgeous =D. Also thank you so much for your videos, you saved my skin!
DRMTLGY, hands down! I've used Skinceuticals and Timeless.
I love the Skinceuticals vitamin c!
This was incredibly informative & helpful. What if anything would you recommend/suggest using for dark spots/sunspots?
My favourite vitamin C is Clinique’s fresh pressed booster. It’s 10% and you mix in with your moisturiser, so can use a serum before witch a different active without compromising on your shot of vit c. It really brightens my skin, when I’m not using it to when I am is like night and day! ❤
I am so glad Dr.Drey reconfirmed what she said about a year ago about not having to use vitamin c so I really haven't, I battle eczema
I have been using Derma-e Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid serum for years. It has made a difference.
I use the Timeless VitC. My thoughts are that even if the vitamin C does not work, at least I’m getting some antioxidants through Freulic acid and vitamin E.
Timeless 20% works for me! Refrigerate and it is at the proper ph, plus inexpensive and it’s container is airless pump vs dropper which keeps it from oxidizing
35 $ is inexpensive 😮
@@zemmalachemedina7932 yes, compared to skinceuticals it is. You can often find it on sale… and Target sells it cheaper, too!
Thank you. Thank you. Always so informative.
Super honest ❤ thank you!
I love the skinceuticals- it is worth every penny for me
👍🏼
I used to get Vitamin C - with other vitamins & minerals in an IV DRIPP. 36,000 mg. 3 times a week. I never noticed any difference. I did this for a year
I have 2 different The Ordinary vit c products and I have no plan on straying. They are quite high in percentage but I have not had any problems. Such a great value.
Always great information thanks for taking the time to share 😊
Thanks Dr. Dray. I’ve been tempted to try vitamin C . Good info 🙂
Thanks for watching
Timeless is affordable and works for me. I started on their 10% to acclimate my skin before going up to the 20%. It is in an airless pump, and recently they improved the pump plus now put it in a glass bottle.
I can’t talk myself into spending the $$$ on that other one and watching it oxidize before my very eyes. Nope.
Amen!
I’m buying Timeless. I can’t justify spending 180 USD on the other product.
Hi. Can you please tell me where I can buy that 20% Timeliss in the airless pump? Thank you
@@adoseofreality8301 I got the best deal around the holiday on their website, but I have seen it sold on Amazon & Target online.
I put my Timeless in the refrigerator and date the box. I think the c stays good for longer. I get the 4 ounce bottle and it gets used up in 6 months .
thank you for doing this video! we love you & your knowledge 🧠
This came right on time.. thank you 🙏🏽
i have ezcema prone skin and i use the magnesium glossier vitamin c serum and rihanna’s watch your tone vitamin c serum 💖💖 they are derivative vitamin c but i love them a lot and i’ve definitely noticed a difference in my skin. i think the magnesium pca & the 4% niacinamide in the serums helps the inflammation in my skin
I switch to products contains tranexamic acid and niacinamide. And found these ingredients work for my skin. So it’s important not to fall for the trends or marketing hype but observe what your skin likes and personalize your own skincare.
Totally agree
Which one, please!
@@Joy-wx5wd I use those which indicate the %, not necessary both ingredients in one product, one can be in cream one in toner or serum. And I make sure to switch products after 8-12 weeks use as that’s how researches show it takes normally 8-12 weeks to show results and I‘d like try new products from time to time. So more fun in skincare and self care journey.
I've been using vitamin C serum by Serious Skin Care. I've been using it since the late 90s. Used serum, eye serum, & cleanser. I'm currently 61 & people think I'm in my 40s. So glad I started using it & I also don't sit in the sun.
I simply love the Vitamin C 15% from Geek&Georgeous. It does not oxidize while kept in the fridge, it did wonders to my skin, I highly recommend it! ❤
Thank you Dr.Dray x
Thanks for watching!
Long awaited video 😂 thank you dr Dray !
As always perfect Dr keep doing you are THE PERFECT DERMATOLOGIST ❤❤❤
I use Skinceuticals CE Ferulic and it does help fade hyperpigmentation from sun damage for me. The big players though have been the CO2 laser and chemical peels like glycolic and reverasatrol.
I have Melasma. I have tried the Timeless and Maelove and I didn’t see a big difference in my skin. After a few years of trying these I decided to give the SkinCeuticals a try. It worked! I still have the Melasma but it is so much lighter and easy for me to cover with light makeup. I am so glad I tried it and won’t be without it. Thank you. ❤
Skinceuticals CE Ferulic has several unhappy customers these days. It looks like the product is not formulated as before and people also complain about the content of the bottle being dark brown upon first opening. I wish cosmetic products would have expiration dates and not only validity since opening. With expensive products, especially makeup ones carrying fragrance (i.e. lipstick), you can buy something that was manufactured years ago...and let's be honest...cosmetic ingredients are not immortal...like Twinkies. :)
@@lgcristea4203 I love the stuff. I haven’t noticed anything different 9r weaker in the formula. It’s the only Vit C serum that really works. I’ve wasted enough money on cheaper products that don’t work.
Skinceuticals is fantastic…really works. I just wish it were cheaper.
Which products are you using 🙏🏼
My favorite is by far the Timeless. But Truskin is also good (15%) and Purito has a new one which looks promising (20%)
Skinceuticals C and F MAKES MY SKIN TAN.
I don't use vitamin c serums because they oxidize too quickly. I use hyaluronic acid and ascorbic acid powder. I mix it in my palm right before I use it.
I've had Mohr surgery, the removal of a cancer cell on two areas of my face & it wasn't a pleasant experience. I spent ten hrs in a surgeons office with other patients taking turns at being numed, having cancer cells cut out, then the smell of your flesh being burned. After each session a photo was taken to see if they got all the cancer cells & if they didnt, the procedure was repeated over & over again. I unfortunately was one of those, I arrived at 7am & left 10 hrs later, swollen from the many injections because by the time you were called back into the office they had to reinject the area which was getting very painful. I wish they had a serum that would shrink the cancer cells prior to ambulatory surgery. Dr Dray your always on the top of your game, your so informative & knowledgeable. Thank you so much. I have been using timeless 10%. O also use glutathione which is also a great antioxidant. I would love for you to do a video on glutathione.
Dr Dray has existing videos on glutathione.
I feel your pain. Went through it on my nose. Those injections hurt worst than giving birth. I pray never to go through that again.
Oh my goodness, I've never heard of this surgery do I looked it up. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Cancer is just such an awful thing. Prayers that it never comes back
@@elenab6297 prayers you never have to go through that again 🙏
Great info is always Dr. Dray. I have been using Cerave vitamin c serum for years now and I love it. I call it my secret weapon. I'm 46 and love my skin.
My favourite vitamin c is Melano cc essence ( premium version )
Didn't oxidised easily and work very well on dark spot :))
You liberated me from the vitamin c serum prison, Dr. Dray. After discovering your content a few years ago, I ditched the iffy vitamin C products for tried and true sunscreen and tretinoin, and my skin has never looked better. Thank you so much! 💛
same here! No more wasted money! I don't even need acid toners after using tretinoin for just a few months!
May I know your what your skin type is and how old you are? What brand of sunscreen do you use? And how much percentage of tretinoin do you use? How long have you been using tretinoin? Do you use it everyday or every other day? Since tretinoin can only be used at night and it can be very drying, aside from sunscreen, do you use any serums/essences/moisturizers etc for AM routine?
can i get tretinoin from a general practitioner?
Sunscreen is prison to
@@clone2k696 My skin is on the oilier side, so I don’t use any moisturizers on my skin other than sunscreen, which I reapply throughout the day. I use .025% tretinoin 2-3 times a week. I’ve been doing it for a couple of years. For sunscreen, I’d say do what works for you, because what works for me may not work for others and vice versa 🙂
I use the Timeless Vitamin C because I simply cannot afford Skinceuticals. I really like the Timeless serum and keep it in my fridge, and have had no problems with oxidation. I once got a sample of the Skinceuticals serum and it was yellow orange 🤷🏻♀️; It felt very nice on the skin though.
How long does it last in the fridge?
This was an amazing and honest video.
You look beautiful in that color! Thanks for your thorough videos! You should be a professor dermatology.
I was using Timeless Vit C for a few months and it did help brighten my skin & diminish some hyperpigmentation. I then started Tretinoin and can no longer use it. I have had 2 skin cancers removed from my face and several on legs. I am 63 & I now have 6 precancers on my face that have to be dealt with. Vit C is the furtherist thing from my mind. Thanks for the video Dr. Dray!
I thought she said there may be evidence that it helps treat skin cancers or stop them from forming. I am having to be treated for skin cancer right now.
@@sbkir yes, she said ‘may be’ evidence. Tretinoin is actually known to help prevent, so if I have to choose between the two I’ll take Tretinoin. So sorry you’re having to deal with the skin cancers. They’re a b***h for sure
Prayers for you! I hope it all gets resolved for you. Just as a side note, I use timeless vitamin c in the morning and tretinoin in the pm. It doesn't cause any problems, and I have benefited from both, I believe. Get well soon!!
@@lindsaybezet3517 not sure this was directed to me but if so, thank you. I loved the timeless and keep trying to work it back in. It causes so much flakiness along with the tret at night. I may try the contact therapy like I did with the tret. I really want to get back to using it. So glad you’re enjoying it and reaping the benefits!
@@lisapierce525 yes, Lisa, I was replying to you and prayed for your skin cancer. I hope all will be well!! I watch Angie on the you tube channel hot and flashy. She got me started using tretinoin and the vitamin c from timeless, but she recommended using them separately. Timeless in am and tret in pm. I follow most of her regimen and am benefiting. Have a blessed day 🌞🙂
I’ve used multiple bottles of Maelove, Timeless, and Skinceuticals. I currently am not using a vitamin C serum. They are a bit irritating to my sensitive skin. I didn’t find either brand all that effective. I have a brightening cream prescribed by my dermatologist. I also use tretinoin. I would like the benefits from a vitamin C serum, but it always disturbs my skin’s moisture barrier.
Timeless 20% for me!
So I have been using (for a good while now) a few really good vit C products. I have experienced major brightening, and some firming, effects on everything EXCEPT my dark spots. To me, it seems like they are way more noticeable now. I still prefer this version of my skin. I'm glowy now, my skin looks healthy! Unfortunately, vitamin c is very irritating for my skin.
I like the Drunk Elephant vitamin C serum because it comes in a pump bottle. That way the product won't oxidize that quickly (compared to dropper bottles).
