Been using Timeless 20% for almost 3 yrs and I love it. Gives me a glow and the consistency makes it go on smoothly. I have sensitive combo skin
Me too! 20% works for me . Always checking when there in sales 😊
It definitely gives the most immediate and obvious benefits of everything I use. If you can only buy one thing, get Timeless Vitamin C 20%.
yep!
I jumped straight into the 20% timeless vitamin c with 0 issues and love it - I even use it with retinol 2 or 3 times or more a week with no issues
At last I understood the difference! Thanks for such a clear, simple explanation 😍
GREAT IDEA.. i’m sure you’ve discussed it before but this was such useful information to separate the two because I have a 21-year-old that is using my skin care and I am 62. Now I know why she’s been breaking out. If you can ever do anything on large pores and I mean.LARGE The nose, I will come clean your house for you🧚
Led red light therapy will help your pores. Worked wonders for me, I am your same age.
Your videos on the benefits of vitamin C and retinol have been incredibly informative.
Despite having sensitive skin and seborrheic dermatitis, I've noticed significant improvements in my skin.
I now use CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol at night and CeraVe Vitamin C in the morning, along with two layers of sunscreen.
To prevent oxidation, I store the Vitamin C serum in the fridge.
Thank you, Dr. Maren Locke, for your valuable insights and guidance.
So disappointed we can’t buy Timeless Vit C in Europe
Excellent video format!
Paula’s Choice 25% Vitamin C+Glutathione is another good choice for THD Ascorbate product. Higher percentage than both Peter Thomas and Sunday Riley but not as expensive. Better bang for the buck definitely.
Not trying to drag a brand, just my experience. Purchased a few products from Peter Thomas Roth, not impressed for the price.
Paula’s choice has been my go-to for many products; price is reasonable and the products do what they promise.
@@had123ish They’re fine for me just not for the cost though 😅I used their Retinol Fusion PM and the Potent-C in the past, they’re quite good though but there’re just more options in the market that are equally or even more effective minus the price tag 😅

Thank you for another great video, so informative. I’ve just started the vitamin C journey. I just finished Vanicream and moving to Peter Thomas Roth. I also started with retinoids for the first time a few months ago, thanks to your videos. I binged your material for a few months now. I really like your approach and feel more knowledgeable. Again, thank you! Keep teaching us!
Such a great and useful video ❣️ Your explanations are really appreciated. I ALWAYS struggled with vitamin C ascorbic acids and you made it very understandable and I now know what to look out for 🙏🏼
THE best vitamin C video ever, imo. Thank you!
How do you feel about the paula's choice 25% vit c (THD) and glutathione serum?
Yes, helpful!Thank you.I also like the vitamin C brand called Neostrata with PHA.Excellent product from my personal experience!
Yes very helpful for having everything clear, I have sensitive skin but I can tolerate the stronger ones, Thanks 😊🎉
I loved the Neutrogena Vitamin C capsules and they changed it and added retinol ☹️ so happy to have new choices from you.
The Geek & Gorgeous 15% vitamin C is also another amazing option. Very affordable and light watery texture. It’s my favourite 😃
Great information. I have used the ROC 20%. But it is great to know I have other options to choose from for skincare. Thank you again❤
Something about the Sunday Riley one that I always end up coming back to it. The price kills me but it’s soooo good.
Thank you. Great video!
Very helpful! Thank you, doctor!
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic information, thank you! I love the Peter Thomas Roth Cream, with 10% THD, it's a great winter moisturizer with lots of antioxidants.
Thank you for all your suggestions and explanations. I’m a 20% Timeless user unless I travel and will use the Cerave serum.
I currently use the cerave vit. C and I love it! It is so silky and feels so high end. It plays well with all my skin care and plays well with make up!!! However I think I will try the PTR one next 😅
Great video, you answered all my questions
Great info. Thank you and be blessed
Very helpful!❤
Thank you for such an in depth video on Vit C! What do you think about the Prequel brand??
I didn't even know about the benefits of vitC until I started watching you. I first tried Cerave on your recommendation and really saw a difference after a while. Then I tried Vichy, which was good but kind of difficult to work with because it's so runny and followed that with The Ordinary, which wasn't good at all - irritating with an odd grainy texture. So I'm back to CeraVe for good! Even better, I never pay full price between sales, coupons & loyalty points.
Dr. you have to try Geek & Gorgeous excellent products and great price.
Thanks for the suggestion. I went to the website and the products look good, and at a great price.
Great video! What is the main benefit to using vitamin C on the eye area and is it to be used in addition to retinol eye cream or as a replacement?
Great Information ❤
Maelove is AAAAMAZING!!!!
Great video as usual! Have you tested Lucent-C from Prequel yet?
I really like your filming background
Great video! Very informative ! I use the Peter Thomas Roth and gonna try drunk elephant vitamin c, the one you mix. Any thoughts?
Great video..can you do similar video for moisturisers and retinols?
This by far the best explanation from a dermatologist in my humble opinion.
I’ve used the 20% Timeless and it stings. I didn’t finished the bottle. I might try the 10%. Thanks so much
10% is great. Don’t use too much. Just enough to cover the face. I can’t use vit c on the eye are or on the neck
Great info. I love Trinny London 30 % vit c serum - I can tolerate this great product.
Started using Riversol from a Canadian company. They have V2 which is vitamin C that also has tranexamic acid, tetrapeptide-30, niacinamide and Kojic acid.
Who carries this product??
@@anablackford7457 order online.
Hi. Great video and explanation. I am wondering why you didn’t recommend Paulas Choice Vit C + Glutathione? It has 25% THD and is cheaper than the two higher end options you have here. I haven’t tried it, but was considering it since PC is having a sale right now. I am currently using a high end THD VitC and have been looking for a less expensive option so I appreciate this video so much! Thx!
Doc do you recommend we start with the Vanicream and work our way up to the PTR one if we are new to Vitamin C but have rosacea? Thanks great video!!
thank you so much for all this info. My question is: "In the past you recommended Neutrogena's Vitamin C Serum. But there is no mention of it in this video. Do you not recommend it anymore?
I've been using the Prequel Lucent C 15% and loving it. It's the most comparable to Maelove & Timeless.
❤Great very informative video with budget options include. Ty.
🌷 Love your outfit videos. It looks like the " Breakers " hotel❤️. We always love the atmosphere and the architecture. Do you all visit the Henry Flagler Museum across the street?!!🎉
Thank you for all the info i have to try the one for sensitive skin i never know what i can use i will either get breakouts or very dry red skin so im going to start very slow
Thank you very informative I tried the ROC about a month ago after watching one of your other videos and love it. I cannot use L’Oréal products they all irritate my skin
Hi 👋🏼
Where would you put these two serums? The Dr Sam FLAWLESS VITAMIN C NAD+ SERUM? And the Geek & gorgeous c-Glow?😘
Hi friends-I was hesitant w/ L ascorbic as I am dry/sensitive but had no irritation. Found skin gets alkaline w/ age (low ph acidic products lower alkalinity) Prob why biome feels reset! Interested in THD since more stable but see mixed results from studies as to if it truly converts/what % to active vit c. Stratia makes a vit c with both THD and L ascorbic so trying next.
you made me buy Cerave serum and it really is an excellent choice!!
Same here
What serum?
I LOVE it! It’s so silky and smooth
When did u see the results? I have been using it since last month, and I still haven’t seen any improvement
@@sue3327 they do say that it takes 6-8 weeks or longer for results to show because it takes that long for the skins cellular turnover 45-90 days to shed damaged layers. Vitamin C isn’t huge like retinol so it will take a bit to see improvement especially if you are using a lower % but non the less it’s working deep down so keep it up and remember the long term goal is the most important.
Dr Alexis Stephens also has a video on vit c based on skin type, acne, anti-aging.
She’s great!! 👏
Thank you.
I use the Medik8 THD and i can say that it is giving me results. Not the cheapest but not so so pricey either. I used the Sunday Riley one,it is a nice one but i couldn't buy it again for obvious reasons.
I used both Sunday Riley and Vichy vitamin C. Both are good. But despite I like Sunday Riley, I did not see much of a difference on my skin and that’s why I swapped to Vichy as a cheaper option, loving it too so far.
I tried Peter Thomas Roth one you recommended and I got a rash, not just where I used it but on my arms and hands etc. my dermatologist said, the skin is one organ and we need to stop the rash from spreading.Got a topical steroid. After my skin calmed I went back to maelove…now my skin reacts to this too! Used vanicream and I’m now mixing in dr brenners to it. Working so far. What are your thoughts about dr brenners vitamin c? Should I switch to timeless?
This is very helpful, l love the comparisons! I'm on the actives side. I've been using Naturium's vitamin C for the past 3 months. Unfortunately I have not seen any results. Once I finish the bottle I will be trying Maelove's. I've been wanting to try Peter T. vitamin C eye cream but my eyes tear a lot which in turn irritates the skin around my eyes. Would using a vitamin C further irritate the skin?
I also bought the Naturium vitamin c serum. It doesn’t state what percentage it is, for all we know it has only 1% 😅😮😢
It sometimes pills on me, so I don’t reach for it much
Vichy, Laroche-Posay, and Cerave are owned by Loreal.
Hi I love & use the timeless 20% but I heard that THDA since it's in oil shape penetrates deeper into the skin, so I added the vani-C cream in the evening & just last week I switched to 20% ordinary THDA that's in Squalane & Vitamin F . My skin is loving it, even though is much less expensive than the other THDAs. What is ur opinion on it?
You explained it very well on laymen terms 🙏
I was turned onto Obagi 20% Professional-C serum. 20% l-ascorbic acid. Love it, but would love a more affordable option please!
I researched the ROC one yesterday and I was wondering if I can use it in the morning? Their website indicates for PM.
Hi! I would love to hear your thoughts on Drtmgy 5C’s.
What do you think about the Bubble Vit C?
What about Prequel Lucent-C...? I would love for you to do a video on Prequel products...
Can we layer them? Say put Timeless/Ascorbic Acid on first, then Vanicream/THD after?
Any tips on hydroquinone for hyperpigmentation
I have very sensitive, aged, dry skin. It’s so sensitive that I can’t use the Vanicream vitamin C daily. But using it three times a week seems to be both tolerable and effective.
What about glow recipe guava vitamin C serum would love to see review of that
Love them all!!!
I’d go for the Peter Thomas Roth one but omg it smells too much of hot dogs. Does that scent eventually go away when it’s on your skin!?
What do you think of the La Roche Posay Vit C10?
Hi, I used Vichi C serum every morning and the next my step 17:01 was SPF 50, but I don't understand why my face became covered with yellow spots, I'm sure it's from this vitamin C ,expiration on the bottle is good, packaging is good, I stored in dry, dark place. What I did wrong or what is the reason?
Thank you
Can you talk about NeoStrata products? I love their products but they don’t mention percentages of their active ingredients. How do you find out what you’re putting on your face?
What about Medic8? They make both kinds. Also glow recipe?
I been using cerave vit c serum since last month, but I didn’t see any results! I have freckles and brown spots all over my skin and fine lines, do u recommend to continue using vit c or switch to something else?
I brought Cerave here in Australia from Amazon it was already brown yuck. I’m using Timeless 10 % and Paula’s choice ultra light antioxidant serum which has THD in it. Not sure how much though.
Have you tried, or do you have information on, the Naturium Vitamin C Complex Serum? Thank you!
I bought a small one from Target to try out.
@@sarahsparood Thank you! I've tried the Naturium C Complex Serum. It was very moisturizing. I don't think they are very transparent about percentages of its ingredients, though. I'm wondering about the exact type(s) and percentages of vitamin C Naturium includes in its Vitamin C Complex Serum. I WANT to like it. I just want to know what I'm using and it's effectiveness.
I'm on my 2nd bottle of the Naturium Vitamin C complex serum. I emailed Naturium and asked about the percent of Vitamin C in their products...one Vitamin C serum contains niacinamide and one does not. They would not give me the percentage and said the ingredient percentages in their Vitamin C complexes are proprietary.
@lindachafetz2670 Thank you! That is ridiculous and does not inspire consumer trust. It doesn't sit comfortably with me when companies don't reveal percentages in their products. I understand not publishing exactly how their product is made, but users need to know what they are putting on their skin. The ingredient list might as well read: "Trust us." 🙄
I bought the Naturium vitamin C based on the video posted by the channel “Mad About Skin.”. You should see it, maybe that might help.
I put lemon juice on my face every morning, wash it off about 30-60 minutes. It seems to be facing my dark spots.
I can use cerave vitamin c am routine and the quantity how
I tested the pH of cerave and it was at 5 instead of around pH 3. Does it still work even with such a high pH?
I make my own fresh. That's the only way you get the best for the least amount of money without extra added ingredients
Perfect timing!! I love Maelove but decided to try Mad Hippie on a whim while shopping at Ulta. Haven’t opened it yet. Does anyone have any thoughts on that brand of Vitamin C?
@carriemeacham8811 I tried the Mad Hippie Vit C years ago, and saw no difference. No brightening, nothing. Not something I would ever buy again. Maelove Glow Maker is wonderful.
@@Zlatna-ui5mv Thank you so much!!
I used it for years until my skin decided that it couldn’t handle the citrus in it. It did good things for my skin, but it took a long time to see results.
@@SandiTink I appreciate the feedback!
@@carriemeacham8811 You’re welcome.
I use VICHY VITAMIN C SERUM. However it's not very travel friendly. While traveling can I switch and use a more travel friendly VITAMIN C like No7 capsules? Or should I just stay with the same brand?
What about the new good molecules vitamin c serum? I’m looking for one to use at night with my retinoid
inactive form of course
Do you like Paula’s Choice?
I’m not seeing the 4th product on the first group.
Timeless gives me big red patches, very irritated. I had to throw it out. 😢 it's either too strong or has some ingredient that I'm allergic to. I'm fine with CeraVe but I don't see any great changes.
Sunday riley ceo has orange peel oil, tangerine oil. I dont think its a good option for sensitive skin and rosacea skin
What about Mad Hippie vitamin C?
Maelove is not in description box
What about Kiehl’s vit C? It’s pricey.
Has anyone used Obagi vitamin C serum?
Cannot put vitamin e on my skin, the irritation is awful 😢
I’m 65 years old. How am I going to know if I’m getting results? I mean, what am I gonna look for in skin improvement at my age?
Are there any Korean brands that can be recommended?
If you have dark spots, they lighten and eventually go away. If you have lines, they diminish and appear less deep. Tightens skin in more youthful way. Based on my use.
Your skin will also look brighter and overall more healthy. I don’t believe there is a product that removes dark spots completely, however these are suppose to lighten them
