Enjoyed your video.. you have a vitamin C graveyard!
I currently use the Neutrogena 20% vitamin C ampoules. On days when I feel a little itchy, I switch to the Cerave for a day or two. I have seen very good results from this. I keep my ampoules and tubes in the refrigerator. This helps to cut down on waste a bit and skincare(even with drugstore), the prices have become tougher to fit into my budget…
Also, be sure to check the expiration dates! Recently I found products on the shelves that expired in 2019! I took them to the manager who acted horrified. Three days later when I returned, the items were back on the shelf! Check so you get your full potency.
I absolutely appreciate that you're also along on your viewers skin journey yourself, to back up your recommendations, Doc! Thank you.
Thank you so much!🙏🤙
Thank you so much for all your advice and recommendations. I'm on a journey to take care of my skin more. Very helpful. 🙂👍
Thankyou for your advice as always it's much appreciated 🙏❤ I would be really interested to see you do a video on temperature and how it affects retinol, vit c, glycolic acid and hyaluronic acid. I live in New Zealand and unlike the northern hemisphere we dont have central heating/cooling in many homes. We generally cook in summer and freeze in winter. My home rarely drops below the mid 20s (hard to sleep) Also, some of the products you say are easily accessible aren't in this part of the world(fyi) I worry that my skincare products are being compromised by summer heat. There doesn't seem to be any advice on product packaging regarding storage in hot weather and how heat and refrigeration can affect the efficacy of the products. Would love some feedback as my skin is now reacting to some products and I wonder if heat has something to do with it. Would love to hear your thoughts and advice on this issue. Many thanks, I love your videos 🤗
Watched this to make sure I was using a good vitamin c serum, boom, cerave, first one up. Thank you, got straight to my question and saved me 10 minutes :)
great video as always!
quick question, what are your thoughts on The Ordinary's 8% Ascribed Acid plus 2% Alpha Arbutin? I've heard it's excellent for getting rid of hyperpigmentation.
I absolutely LOVE Roc Multi Correxion serum capsules. They're the blue ones with hyalurnic acid. I swear by them.
You are a doctor who I trust, who is here to really help people. I love your honesty and you share your own skincare journey. I enjoy your sense of humour also. I wanted to ask if you have a video on the treatment for papules? I have blackheads and papules. I just started using Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 so help with blackheads. I also have Rosacea. Also have you done a video that shows how and when to use Vit C, Rentinol, moisturizers. I don't know what goes on first or with something else. Thank you so much for you taking the time to post your videos.
Thank you Dr. for all of the recommendations and information..much appreciated😀
Happy New Year 🎊🎈
Thank you Dr Sugai … your commentaries are always helpful! 👍🏼
Also it’s good to hear you mention Obagi as I just incorporated it into my morning routine, 10%. I wanted to start slow in strength. So far so good. I plan to increase to 15% then 20%.
Obagi is lite and absorbs nicely. I do store it in a cool and dark location.
Thank you and stay warm … Seattle and surrounding areas received a lot of snow.
Cheers 🥂
Happy new year and thank you- doing okay with the snow! Thank you for watching and glad that obagi is working well for you!
Kiehl’s Line Reducing Concentrate is amazing.
I swear by it, speaking from personal experience.
I’m only 20 but I take care of my skin.
Can’t recommend highly enough.
Now I'm perusing all your videos as I found you only recently..... I LOVE Skinceuticals... yet, not the price point.... I used to have access Skin Medica a hundred years ago free in our office ........ thank you Dr. Fitzpatrick RIP. Now, at almost 63 years of age I am wanting to explore things that are not as pricey. I love the Geek and Gorgeous Vit. C from Hungary... nice price point and can easily go two and a half months with extremely little to no color change. Love all your videos!
My favorite Vitamin C serum was ( I say was for a reason!!) Sweet Chef Ginger & Vitamin C. Also, tried Sweet Chefs Celery, Kale & Beets, but not the same by a long shot! Loved it, but for some reason has been discontinued 🥺. I’m now in search for a comparable one ~ now trying out one of Burt’s Bees face serums, but so far not seeing the same effect I got with Sweet Chef.
Very helpful Dr., thanks for the reminders and for recommending Mae Love, using SkinCeuticals vit c at the moment. Which other Mae Love products would you recommend? For anti-aging very sensitive skin. Thanks again look forward for your next video.
Concise & clear, thank yooou!
Thanks for the good info. It would help a lot if you could attach a list of the products you review in order of talking about them.
Thanks so much for comparing the Vit C products.
Hello Doc and everyone, as always you gave us great information about these products. I will be trying these and see what works on my skin (59 years old matured skin 😆). Anyways, most of them that you recommend in the past are working for me……sometimes I am too tired to do it everyday due of caring my mother in law with dementia but it’s all good (8 years plus but this year is getting worse). Doctors already was surprised how she last this long, told him “ love” is the answer,
مرحبا كيف تهتمي ببشرتك
I Agree Love is definitely the answer❤
I was using Regimen Lab’s Vitamin X, and now I’m trying Timeless 10%. I really enjoyed the one by Regimen Lab.
I love how it’s 15% plus has a pH of 3, and contains a lot of other antioxidants
To understand the true quality of people, you must look into their minds, and examine their pursuits and aversions
Ulta has its 21 days of beauty. The peach & lily vitamin c looks good. 50 % today.
I was using Acure vitamin c- noticed it doesn’t have the ingredients I was looking for. Thanks for the recommendations bro 👍
Dr Sugai, thanks for this video.
Could you also review The Ordinary's VC? Thanks.
very helpful, thank you ❤
You are the best Dermatologist in youtube
Hi, thanks for your videos! I have a question: Do you prefer American vitamin c skincare products to Korean or Japanese products? That would be a video I’d love to watch!
Hi Doc, stumble onto your video, I am from Singapore and I really enjoy the information provided, especially the tone of voice - very calming and well moderated cos that is important to keep me watching till the very end, you provided all the vital points and yet keeping it SS - short and sexy. Have a great week! Peace!
Hi doctor I wish you well. Watching form Egypt 🇪🇬 I like your videos it contains a lot of information that helps a lot of people to keep their skin healthy and glowing. I wish you talk more about normal and dry skin.
Thank you so much for watching and for the feedback! Happy new year 🤙🙏🏼
Happy new year 🎉
Thank you Dr. Sugai for the video! I was wondering what will be the right period of time to use hydroquinone and then take a pause. My dermatologist in México suggested I should use it during 6 months, but after watching your video I’m a little concerned that it could be too long. Thank you!
Timeless is also good. Vit C, ferulic acid and Vit E and it comes in an airless pump
I never keep my skin care in the sun or heat. Same with my makeup 💄 great video thank you 🙏
I just purchased Cerave Vitamin C serum
Hi Dr. you’ve inspired me. However, I’d like to ask what would be the best vitamin c serum for someone who has eczema on the face? Lookin to see how to help the skin get healthier from all the damages. Thanks. Hope to hear from you.
Yes, I use Vit.C morning (kept in frig) always & sunscreen. Retinol & moisturiser evening, v. simple.
Of course, cleans first!
THANK YOU!
Great video!! Very informative!
What do you think about Timeless Vit C??
Thanks in advance.
Thank you for this advice on Vit. C.
Hi Dr. Sugai, I'm a first time viewer to your channel. Can you please tell me which are your TOP 3 vitamin c's and which one is your current favorite? Also, can you please tell me if it's safe to combine lactic acid 10% from the ordinary and tretinoin together? Thank you so very much!
Hey doc! I highly recommend doing the classic hand behind the product TH-camr move for the camera to focus on the product when showing. Just a rec!
Paula's choice Vitamin C is great
Dr. Sugai, what vitamin C serum do you use? Your before and after pic featuring the dark spots is amazing!
I thank you for all the information and for presenting your content in, more or less, 15 minutes. It is surely Not boring with TMI. Thanks again!
I always enjoy watching your video , wish you hit 500k subscribers soon!
That means so much! Thank you so much! 🙏🙏🙏
Very helpful doctor. Thank you.
Hi Dr Sugai, thanks very much for all the great videos. I was wondering if you could share some thoughts on Some By Mi Galactomyces Pure Vitamin C Glow Serum please ?
Thank you for all the info Dr. Sugai. Question I plan on using a similar AM/PM skin care routine you mentioned later in this video. Do you recommend I stick to a single brand for cleanser, vitamin c, moisturizer and sunscreen in the AM? I plan on using the Cerave vitamin c. Thank you
Thank you so much 😊
Hi Dr! What's a good moisturizer to pair with vitamin C serum?
I will look into the Naturiium Vitamin C Complex.
Happy new year doc thanks for the information 😍
Happy new year!
I love the LRP serum but I can’t seem to use it fast enough for it to not turn on me. Thinking about keeping it in the box in the fridge next time
I love the green tea pineapple sparkling water from Trader Joe’s.
Hello Dr Sugai what do you think about Paula's choice vitamin C? And her other skincare in general??
Please do a video on the order of applying products for am and pm
Thank you Doctor, I just find your channel 🇺🇸
I absolutely love your channel
Thank you so much and happy new year!
Hi Dr. Sugai, would you please also review the vitamin c capsule by Neutrogena?
Dr. Sugai what are your thought on StriVectin super-c retinol..I got it from Costco. I loved the review you did on Oly vs CeraVe could you do a review?
Hi, I am a big fan of your channel, doc! I find that your contents are always very informative.
Want to ask, what do you think of Timeless Skin Care Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid?
I like it since it's a pump bottle instead of a dropper, I felt it'll more stable that way.
Will you do a review on it?
Thanks 😊
Thank you!
Hau’oli makahiki Hou Doc 🤙🏽. Congrats on da 75K+. Shoots. Chee Hoooooo
Mahalo and thank you for the support throughout the year! 🤙🤙🤙
I've been using CeraVe serum for 8 months now and actually I noticed that now that it's winter it haven't turned dark so now I know why ! (I place it in my drawer too) thanks for that advice Dr.
Thanks for sharing your experience!🙏🏼🤙
I've been using the Cerave C for a while also. Do you see improvement in your skin? Thanks 😊
Thank you Dr.Sugai for all your great informative...no fuss... informative videos.. Not a fan of vitamin C. Too irritating. Anyway, you and your family have a great New Year celebration and hope to enjoy more of your videos in 2022!! Greetings from the Netherlands!!
Happy new year!!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🤙
A lady in my neighborhood free group gave away an almost whole bottle of the LaRoche Posay vitamin C serum b/c she didn't like the smell so it's wild to see him confirm that. Man, it must really stink!
Hello doc….can we apply serum (like hyaluronic acid) before retinol?
Hi Dr. Sugai, what’s the difference between the Vichy LiftActive serums, tge ampoules and 15% serum?
Thank you very much Dr. Sugai! Could you please let me know if i can use vitamin c when i have ances on my face? 🙏
Thanks, Doctor Sugai. I use a Vitamin C cleanser too. Is this effective?
I am using Skin Deva vit C and its great fast absorbing and hydrating
I've used Vichy's vitamin C serum and noticed that it didn't absorb very well in my skin. When I washed my face at the end of the day, I noticed that the serum would come off on my wash cloth. If I sweat and wiped my brow, it would come off at that point too. Since it's so dark it was easy to see the serum on a wash cloth. So, I'm looking for other options...thanks for your video!
Thank you! I placed my la roche vitamin c serum to the fridge, I hope that's ok.
Bliss also makes a Vit C serum & that’s sold at Walmart.
Hi Doc do you want have any thoughts on the vitamin C 30% in silicones from the ordinary? Is formulating in silicone as the carrier a good idea or will it prevent it from actually penetrating the skin? The formula feels like a makeup primer
Thoughts on Mad Hippie’s Vitamin C serum? I noticed it in the beginning of the video.
Last question, what do you think of naturium retinol moisturizer, I like it..thx.
Hi, in this video you recommend cleanse, serum, moisturizer then sunscreen..
In another video you reviewed the Olay Regenerist vitamin c moisturizer.. could I use just that versus the serum AND the moisturizer?
Happy New Year Dr. Sugai! Vitamin C is a staple in my routines. I honestly would love to try the Skinceuticals but then I see the price and skip it. Maybe if it ever goes on a good sale which I know will never happen. Anyway, have you ever tried the Vitamin X from Regimen Lab? I've been using it for the past 2 months and would love to hear your thoughts sometime in 2022. Wishing you a healthier and safer 2022!
The best vitamin c it’s a powder form and using everyday with thermal water
Thar cerave vitamin C is the one I use since another dermatologist talk about it a year ago. Is been good for my skin.
Great to hear 😁🤙🤙🙌
Happy New Year, Dr. Sugai !! I'm a brand new subscriber. Thank you for reviewing over-the-counter skincare products! Have you ever heard of InstaNatural? I believe they have a vitamin C line. I'm using Physicians Formula's Skin Booster Vitamin Shot Brightening Serum (vitamin C) & enjoy it very much! Can you please do a review on their skincare?
Hi Dr. Sugai, what are you thoughts on the Neostrata Vitamin C Concentrate capsules?
I've been applying things roughly in order of acids (currently AHA/BHA/PHA toner, lactic acid + licorice root serum, l-ascorbic acid serum)- let absorb 5-15 minutes - remainder (toner after acids, then continue as normal) because of a study indicating that a glycolic acid face wash could assist in absorption of topically-applied l-ascorbic acid, possibly by mechanism of lowering the skin's pH before the application.
Aloha from Kauai🤙🏼Mahalo for your educational videos💯Aloha Ke Akua🙏🏼
Mahalo nui loa, my friend! Thank you for the ❤️ from Kauai! Can’t wait to visit home soon 🙏🏼🤙 🌺
Question please, which of the Roche Posay is the Vit C for sensitive skin please. Thank you. I was confused.
What would you recommend the best out of all?
What would you recommend for acne scarring?
Could you please let me know what are your thoughts on the Artistry Vitamin C+HA3 Daily Serum. Thank you
Hello doctor, I am from Iraq, please. I have a question in your opinion, what is the best vitamin C among them?
Hi Doc. What moisturozer you're using? Thanks.
Hi doc , do you mind reviewing SVR serums
Thank you! I know you can’t cover all of them but put Drmtlgy C5 on your list for the future please
Timeless 20% Ascorbic Acid A/E
Thank you so much for this video. Very informative. What do you think of the Obage vit c ....
Love it! Thank you for watching 🙏🏼🤙
Hey Dr. Sugai! New subbie 😊 I'm curious to know your thoughts on Farmacy's vitamin c serum. I've been using for 6 months every morning and have had great results in shrinking pores and my overall skin texture. Thanks in advance!
is it possible to use Vitamin C serums on my back to help with hyperpigmentation as well?
What I'm about to say will probably horrify a dermatologist, but I have ascorbic acid powder that I sometimes create a solution from. I then apply it to my face, and then I put moisturizer over this after several minutes.
Obviously I don't make it so strong that it irritates the skin. I've never had any skin irritation problems from it, and I find that doing this once a week helps with brightening, etc.
My big concern with vitamin c on the skin is absorption. I also started doing this because all of the talk about the shelf life of vitamin c preparations made me wonder why we don't just apply vitamin c. In a dry powder form, in a sealed container, ascorbic acid is quite stable and costs almost nothing (I think I paid $9 for a pound the last time I bought some).
Also, I'm not recommending that people just experiment like this. It can be very irritating for some people.
Review TruSkin Vitamin C serum. Please. Other dermatologist reviews claim it’s almost worthless. I gotta know! Thanks!
I have had great skin improvement using the Neutrogena purple retinol capsules. Would love to know what you think of the orange Neutrogena Vit. C Serum capsules? Thanks for any thoughts.
Hi love your channel ❤
Thank you!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I bought maelove glow maker and I noticed no difference on my face for some reason! I heard amazing things but it didn’t improve anything for me. 🤷🏻♀️ I wish it did
Love this video...and all the others on your channel. When using a vitamin C serum do you put it all over your face or just on the dark spot areas?
Thank you for your help
