      Dr Amir, I am an active scuba diver. I literally, go to Roatan, Honduras every six months for two to three weeks at a time. The rest of my time I live in Vermont. Obviously, Vermont in Winter, zero sun, in Honduras the sun can be blazing! How can I protect my skin and continue to use Retinol, Vitamin C, and the rest of the products I use currently?

      I remember visiting this doctor over 10 yrs ago for hyaluronic injections, and no one has come close to the results I got from him. I remember getting in my car after the treatment and was SHOCKED at the instant results. I just couldn't afford to go back.😑 One day, when I have saved some money, I will return for blepho and ponytail lift.🤗 One day.🥂

    This is true. I use Vit C serum in AM & retinol in PM. Over 6 months my skin has improved tremendously. It's smoother, brighter, fine lines drastically reduced. Both these products are game changers in the skin care game. Just remember it's slow & steady & you must be patient, but it's definitely worth it!

      My understanding is that this doctor wants us to use retinol and vitamin together, but apply them 5 mins apart. Personally, I wouldn't do that. I use my vitamin C in the am and my trentinoin in the pm.

    • @susanmercier613

      I believe he says IF you use them at the same time, to allow 30 minutes in between application, and then there should not be an issue - unless it is a single formulated product that has the correct PH for them to play nicely together. But yes, retinoids at night, Vit C during the day is how most people use them.

    Earlier, my skin wasn't smooth and had dark spots. But now, after applying this littleexetra vitamin C face serum, it all has changed. My skin is much smoother and brighter. Those dark spots are almost gone. Now my skin looks shiny and bright, which I absolutely like. The best part? I do not need to wear as much makeup anymore since this serum works so well! It doesn't feel sticky, a thing is fantastic for me. The serum absorbs into my skin fast and does not leave any leftovers.

      I have heard that the riceberry vitamin c face serum comes highly recommended for its light formula that illuminates the complexion and reduces dark spots. As per my knowledge, it includes ethyl ascorbic acid for optimal stability and effectiveness, ensuring it’s good for all skin types. I have heard from a lot of people about the good changes in skin texture. I’ll be trying it soon.

    Thank you so much Dr Amir! We love skin school. Thanks to motivating MD's like you I now use SPF every day in conjunction with sun protective clothing. I did use a 20% L-AA but I switched to 15% because the former tended to make my skin a little bit red so I think that was irritation. For me, 15% was fine. I never tried any of the derivatives though which are reportedly more mild. Looking forward to the next class of skin school!

  • @ok548

    Hi, may I just mention that vitamin C not only oxidises due to light exposure but also when it’s exposed to air. Which is why vitamin C needs to be in an airless packaging. The bottles with the pipette is not actually ideal, even if it’s in a dark coloured bottle. It needs to be both in a solid, non see through bottle and in a airless packaging too. The one you showed us in this video again is not in the best packaging. Even though it’s a dark coloured bottle, light still gets in, and it’s also in a pipette where air gets in. May I add, it’s better to not use vitamin C during the day as it’s an active ingredient (even if used with sunscreen on top). Better to use actives in the evenings when skin is not exposed to UV. But that’s up you each individual what they choose to do. Actives during the day can cause sensitivities as well as cause a reaction. Might be helpful to explain to your viewers the different forms of vitamin C and which one will be suitable. Lastly, if I’m not mistaken but vitamin C needs to be formulated with other antioxidants to keep the vitamin C stable. Please share information on this.

    I started using a C moisturizer, gel and oil about 3 months ago and started slowly. At first I put the moisturizer on and then rinsed it off 15 minutes later, basically used as a mask. At the same time I was gifted 2 different retinoids (haha, I guess my face was showing age and I definitely could see it too) so really took that slow. Bottom line, my skin is so bright and smooth now, not like I’m 20 again but so much better than it was. Be consistent and if you’re over 50 use vitamin C !

I am not new to Vitamin C and I know and they know it’s not suppose to be that color. I took it back with in 30 mins and they refused to give me my money back knowing the product was bad. The staff was mortified . They agreed with me but the dermatologist said it was fine….so unethical. I’ve been a long time customer as well but no longer. Sorry for the rant.

      Yes, storing your vitamin C serum in the refrigerator can be a good idea to help extend its shelf life and maintain its effectiveness. It is unnecessary with our Quench serum.

    Just found you and mainlined a bunch of your melasma content. I just want to say thank you for helping me to better understand the science and principals behind this type of skincare as there is SO MUCH. I've always been very concerned with sun safety but I can see some of the cracks in my UV armor that I can now patch, and understand some more of the reasons why certain actives are being temperamental (I live in Australia and Vit C is hard to store). I'm in my late 30's with mild/emerging melasma and was researching chemical peels, but now I feel FAR more prepared and aware of how to treat it.
    Thanks again!

I've watched at least a hundred videos on it and this is hands down the best, most exhaustive one. Most, if not all, the questions I can remember having are answered here.

    Can you please do a video on the new research that I’m reading about how Retin-A and retinols can cause permanent dry eye syndrome? I’m concerned that this is already happened to me as I’ve suffered from dry eyes for several years. I put Retin-A on my upper eyelids, and beneath my eyes. I love the way my skin looks, but my eyes hurt all the time, and my visual acuity has decreased.
    I’d love to hear what you have to say about this.

      Try Retinaldehyde- supposedly this does not cause all of the eye issues (fat loss, permanent dry eye) that Retinol and Tretinoin cause.

    The fact is, despite my age (almost 32 yo), my skin is oily and acne prone. I always apply sunscreen on my face even if it makes my skin even oilier (yes, even when it's supposed to be for oily skins...). But applying vitamin C? A product which is always in an oily base? That would be definitely too much for my skin.

    I have been using Retin A since I was 24 years old. I’m just on a maintenance program now. Every time I try to use Vitamin C, it irritates my skin. I also don’t use treatment products during the day, only at night. During the day I use a good sunscreen and moisturizer. I’m 66 years old now. I would consider using vitamin C on alternate nights but not on the same night as the retinoid. Some nights, I give my skin a rest and go to bed with a nourishing night cream. I really want to thank you for explaining the benefits of vitamin C at the cellular level. What is the name of your product line?
