Serums vs Moisturizers: Everything you need to know about Vitamin C and Serums!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- I have been asked many times on Instagram the question: What's the difference between a morning serum and a morning moisturizer? How do you incorporate both in your morning skin regimen? Watch this video to learn how serums are packed with active ingredients like antioxidants that will neutralize FREE RADICALS. By doing so, these serums are "anti-aging" and will hopefully over time soften fine lines, wrinkles and dark sun spots. Serums are used in the morning, while you reserve your retinoid for your nighttime skin routine which also has anti-aging benefits.
The biggest difference between Serums and Moisturizers is that Serums are lighter in texture and thus are used BEFORE your moisturizer and its antioxidant content provides an "extra punch" to start your day and boost your skin health while moisturizers are meant to hydrate, occlude or repair your skin barrier.
We also review Vitamin C or ascorbic acid, and how our body relies on this antioxidant in various ways. Definitely keep up dietary intake of Vitamin C and consider adding a Vit C containing serum.
My favorite serums with great anti-oxidants that you can access over the counter:
1. La Roche-Posay's HyaluB5 (brings the "bounce" back effect to your skin- really plumps up your dermis and collagen in the morning) amzn.to/2Ys8rdn
2. Skinceuticals CE Ferrulic amzn.to/2zTacG9
3. CeraVe Vitamin C Serum (good intro to world of Serums, very affordable) amzn.to/2zVQ8TH
4. CeraVe hyaluronic acid serum amzn.to/3c17Tz5
Then follow with a good moisturizer like Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel amzn.to/3b0rVs3 and then your favorite SPF (my favorite being EltaMD's UV Clear amzn.to/35soIAt).
This being the fourth video, I am proud to say that I am teaching you the foundation for any solid skincare regimen for any age group. You want a good MOISTURIZER, SUNSCREEN, RETINOID and if you want to fine-tune your goals to target photo-aged skin, you add on a SERUM! This series of videos will cover the foundation to achieving your skin care goals!

I like how you explained the oxidative stress of the skin caused by those free radicals. I follow a diet to reduce free radicals in my body, it only makes sense that I would with my skin too! Time to update the routine. Thank you for this great info.
Cory Foster thank you for saying that! With your discipline with fitness and health, I bet your skin will continue being in the best shape as well! That is a good reminder to all of us to be cognizant of what we eat. Thanks again, my friend.
Your opinion on TNS verses Alto please.
Now I know the differences between moisturizers and serums! Thanks for the informative video!
Thank you so much for watching and for the feedback! Take care.
Would you believe me if I told you that a grapefruit a day has improved my skin, it is brighter and hyperpigmentation has lessened in addition to losing a couple of pounds. I also use skinceuticals c, moisturizer and Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence 2019 SPF50+ soon as I rise.
True story!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us!🏆
Mine skin has been a bit dehydrated, so I wished to try vitamin C. I got this riceberry vitamin C face serum by litlleexttra. This serum might be lightweight, not sticky, not greasy, and soaks in quickly. You can start using it in your daily morning and evening skincare routine. I spotted a viewable difference in my skin within a week. It left my skin silky, supple, well-nourished, and glowing. As it's not tacky or greasy, it's suitable for use in both summer and winter. The bottle is attractive and has got a pump, making it effortless to use. This serum is truly ideal for sensitive skin too. I saw my dark spots fading after using it. I just use 1 or 2 drops and gently massage it in round motions on my cleansed face and neck. I can look that my face looks smoother and my skin is glowing.
This is an amazing vitamin c serum; it helps to improve the glow your face, appearance, breakouts, dark spots, uneven skin tone, wrinkles, black heads, sun exposure. It is absolutely fantastic. Five stars to riceberry vitamin c face serum from me.
Lo e those 2 babies in the background. I love this channel
Thank you so much!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hey Daniel! Can you make a video about psoriasis! I am diagnosed with it and have recovered 99% - I’m sure lots of people would love to learn about it! (I say 99% because the 1% is me maintaining it daily through moisturizer and diet!)
Vincent Trieu yes of course! Thanks for the suggestion. I will add to my list. Psoriasis is definitely one of my passions/specialties and would love to talk about it. I am glad you are doing well. Take care and thanks for watching.
Great advice, Dr. Dan!! Keep up the good work!
Lauren Sugai thank you so much for watching!
Could you do a video on lip products? I’ve always wondered what the difference is like with chapstick, carmex, Vaseline, Burts Bees, etc (if there is any)? I don’t know if anyone else has wondered but there are so many options out there and sometimes none seem to work haha is there something we should avoid in them? Anyway, just a suggestion but I love your videos! So informative and easy to follow and thanks for using products that are affordable and easily accessible as well as higher priced ones. 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Haidee Av. Thank you so so much for your comment and suggestion. I love hearing what you want to learn about! I can definitely make a video on this! Great question that is important to address especially as we are seeing allergies to various lip products! Stay tuned and thanks again 🙏🏼
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow lost the login password. I would love any tips you can offer me.
@Grayson Quinn instablaster =)
@Zaid Benson thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Zaid Benson it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
New subscriber here from the Philippines. This is what I need. More powers doc!
Anime Sia thanks so much for supporting my channel and see you for the next video, my friend! Take care 🤙🤙🤙🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Another great vid Doc! Will remember to include that vitamin c!
Thank you so much for watching and happy that you will consider incorporating Vitamin C into your skin care routine! Take care!
Dr. Daniel, thank you very much!😊
Thanks so much for watching!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Is it OK only to use serum and not moisturizer
Hi Doc, thank you for this video 💖 Can you suggest a good serum to use with retinol? Thank you 💖
Hi! I've been watching your videos lately and it's been a great help! Thank you.
But I was wondering if you can give any advice in regards to essence(Korean) in a skincare routine? Is it necessary when I add serum in my skin routine? Or is serum enough? By the way, I do the 10x step skincare routine normally.
Hello Doctor Daniel. You are such a delight in this world full of misinformation!
Abe Hortillano thank you so much for saying that and thank you for watching! I like Cetaphil a lot and I like that the product you mention has hyaluronic acid. People tend to get fillers with hyaluronic acid around the eyes which is very dangerous. I would say to try this product out as it is relatively affordable for an eye cream compared to other eye creams. I will be sure to do a video on eye creams in the future. Take care and thanks again 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@danielsugaimd Heaven yes to a video on eye creams! Will surely wait for that doctor! Bless you.
Oss Seattle 🙌🏽 thank you for letting me know! I always wanted to know about Serums
Thank you very much, dr.!
Is the cerave vitamin c serum one that you recommend for people with sensitive skin and hyperpigmentation?
My skin is not problematic, and I have read that less is more... I want to use only three products :( cleanser, sunscreen, and I want to choose between a serum o moisturizer... which one should I use for a skin that is somehow clear? I’m 24
エスメ you are right that less is more! I agree with that for many. Love that question too. I would actually say tailor the answer to: use a moisturizer if you tend to have dry skin (live in a cold area) or a serum if your family has issues with brown spots and you are worried you will develop them later on in life. In think 20 something year olds should start considering retinol creams (as long as not pregnant). Thanks for watching!!
love the video! can I use products with hyaluronic acid while i am using differin ??
Lara Villafuerte hi thanks so much for supporting my Channel and you are asking the right questions! Love differin and you can definitely use an HA based moisturizer and cleanser to go with it especially as retinoids can cause dryness initially and HA products will help mitigate that. Take care and thx for watching! 🤙🙏🏼
Hi doctor
Can you explain about collagen and any supplements we need to take daily!
If any, Do we need to take them always “lifetime”?!
Love your videos
And I wish you good luck
Stay safe
Thanks
Hello doctor, can I use niacinamide and vitamina C together? Thanks
Jenny Mendoza Vasquez hi Jenny- yes you may. Thanks for watching! Have a nice weekend and take care 🤙😊🙏🏼
Intetested in your suggestion products to help with rosacea. Thanks!
I hate cleansers but I love using serum, I just wash my face with water. Is it true that the serum wont work? I have been washing my face with water only all my life, no problems with my skin, just aging and dry now (41 years) thank you so much❤
Should hyaluronic be consumed? Or does it work better when applied? I’m loving your videos!!
Daniela S not to be consumed! It’s a sugar that soaks up water so just use topically in moisturizers or have them injected with a qualified physician. Thanks so much!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you Doctor. But is Vichy 89 serum comparable to that of la roche posay?
Isn't the sunscreen enough to be an occlusive layer?
Hi doctor... Thank you for the video... Until today my AM skincare routine contains cleanser, moisturizer and SPF, however I want to incorporate vitamin C in my daily routine.. Pls suggest a non fragrant beginner friendly vit C for dry skin
Looking for a good Vitamin C, but the one you have ,listed above have vitamin E. Vitamin E is not good for acne. Right? So what's another vitamin c serum that worth picking up with the vitamin E?
Moisturizer for me!
Can i use vitamin c serum and vitamin c moisturizer together?
Can I apply vitamin c moisturizer 3 or 4 times a day?? And do I need to apply sunscreen after every application in indoor?
Instead of ceramides what about an h isobiome moisturizer?
Can I mix vitamin C serum inside my moisturizer or inside the gel and what is the difference between gel and serum
can i use only cetaphil facial cleanser and the other is moisturizer? only two.
What is a product that u recommend for crepey eyelids?
how often should i use the vitamin c serum should i use it everyday?
Can I just cleanse, use face moisturizer and spf??
Hi..can we use cetaphil oil cleanser for long time? Actually it's working good with me but I heard that it's having ph level of 6 which is not recommended for our skin and after long term usage, it causes dry skin..pls suggest a good face was for oil skin.
rams g I like this cleanser a lot and say that it is okay to use long term especially if you have oily skin. If you have dry skin from it and over-do the oil removal, just stop at that point and switch to their gentle sensitive skin cleanser. Another cleanser I like for oily skin is la Roche Posay Toleriane purifying foaming cleanser
@@danielsugaimd ok..thanq for the response..how about the pH value?? Is it okay to use pH value 6 cleanser on face? Cetaphil contains pH of 6.
great video,when applying moisturizer after vitamin c, is it okay if the serum is still slightly wet on the face. i give it a few minutes to absorb but my serum is oily so it still sits on face. thanks
Facial cleanser
Toner
Serum
Moisturizer
Is that ok
Angelie Amar hello- this looks great! Don’t forget the sunscreen at the end 😉😄👍🙌
Can I use vitamin C serum with vitamin C moisturizer?
Are all of these products ok to use everyday?
so why the la Roche posay vitamin b instead la roche posay vitaminc one ?
What is the role of toner?
would this be okay for a morning routine:
1. cleanser
2. moisturiser
3. spf
my skin type
- started to be very very very dry and if you tried to apply cream it would dry out within a hour or so. now ive been using the innisfree green tea seed essence-in-lotion as my moisturiser. and i have to be honest, i dont always cleanse every morning but i have been trying to be as consistent as i can. always have spf on. you can tell my skin is very dry, but now its been doing better :)
seljna this sounds like a great routine and i admire that you are trying to stay consistent. Keep it up! When winter hits, can consider a moisturizing serum. Will start doing more moisturizing reviews as the seasons chance to colder weather. Take care and thanks for watching!
Help me with all my face warts . I am 75 and can’t get my Dr to help
Cai này dug co ok k ạ
Why not take a vitamin C pill and let the vitamin C circulate all throughout your skin as supplied by your circulatory system?
The music 😂😂😂
Scurvy?! Seriously?! 😳🙄
The last time we had to worry about “scurvy,” pirates had names like “BLACKBEARD!” 😆😂✌🏼
Nope. Recently saw a video (not sure if it was here or Tik Tok) a college kid put out who got scurvy! Doctor told him to eat fruit!
May I ask how old you are? Wondering if your skin routine makes you look younger lol.....
He's in his 30's. Plus Asian skin doesn't age as fast.
I use serum and moisturizer 😂
