I've tried several vitamin C serums, including Timeless 10% serum. But I finally found my holy grail vitamin C serum, which is Vanicream vitamin C. I adore it because it's moisturizing, and there's no hotdog odor.
I have not words to thank you for all this information! I live outside of the USA and you have changed my life and my skin!!! I love you! God bless you!
I love the vanicream vitamin c serum! I have very sensitive and dry skin with eczema and rosacea and my skin reacts normal to it. Also, the price is very affordable and the smell is not terrible!
Thank you for the focus on Vitamin C! I have been using it for several years, but at 59, I am adding quite a few other actives to my routine. I am using the timeless 20%, but worry that 1) do I need to lower my skin PH before applying, or worry that my essense is not a low PH that I apply before it? 2) I was using argiriline and lactic acid in my morning routine with it (along with CoQ10, Azelaic acid, urea, peptide eye serum, Niacinamide and ceramide moisturizer before my SPF) and read conflicting reports that I am countermanding the efficacy of my vitamin C with some of these products, or not maintaining a low PH in my skincare. Since Vitamin C is the star of my morning routine, please help! I trust you!
@@liresi8 but she uses retinol and vitamin c in her night routine at the same time! Check her night routine videos Ps: i don't know if its actually retinol or tret version
Love it. Has worked wonders for my skin. This product contains frelic acid which is a plus for me. Leaves my skin fresh and very smooth. And it's 20%.. I can put up with the hot dog smell,, the aroma dictates really quick,,, no problem.
I got hooked on Timeless after watching Hot & Flashy and seeing her skin transform in the last 10 years. Angie is alot older than I am, but her analysis on skin care serums and creams have gotten me the best skin ever
Angie looks great, but she uses a lot more products and devices that her beautiful skin unfortunately cannot be attributed to the particular vitamin C she uses. I also think she has used different brands over the years.
I know this comment is non related, but my face reacts to Hyaluronic acid and I don't know why! I usually get acne after using it! Yet its said to be a vereyyy important serum for the face😢😢😢😢
I really don't know what makes one vitamin c product better than another. I personally started using Eva Naturals Vitamin C+ Serum which is best reviewed on Amazon with 50,000 reviews and reasonably priced. It has vitamin C, rosehip, niacinamide, retinol, salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid and tea tree which makes it smell nice and feels like I'm putting a treatment on my face every morning! I've enjoyed it. I dont know how this product compares to Timeless or what makes timeless a good product. Is there something I should know that makes Timeless better?
Can you review Dr Brenner Vitamin C + Ferulic Acid and Vitamin E please? Also I heard from the LabMuffin, Michelle, who is a Chemistry PhD that droppers and “airtight” pumps make essentially no difference in preserving the product longer. She has her own UA-cam channel. Can you give your thoughts 😊?
This Esty has been using Timeless in the morning for years & it has transformed my skin! Always start with the 10% first then graduate to the 20%. Buy it when it goes on sale & keep the extras in the fridge. Holy grail!
My skin is sensitive, and I’ve reacted to several. I’m amazed by the medik8 one. It really does live up to the hype. More expensive tho less than many, but so far a bottle has lasted 6 months and I’m halfway through…you only need 6 drops.
@@viola3022 that’s really good to know, that someone else has used it for 2 years! I was wondering Hmm should I try one of the others mentioned here? Self-doubt 🙄 Thanks for the confirmation!
@@AriElfyn Yes I love it, I keep trying different ones because I find it pricey but I keep going back. I use the pure 15. Now it is finished again I am doubting to try the G&G vitamin C serum as I have heard good things about it and its more affodable but I just love the medi8 one
I just started using the Timeless 20%. So far I like. Cant speak to efficacy just yet because its too soon. The thing that bothers me though is im in Canada and the price for shipping is too much. So I might have to find something already available in Canada.
If you go to Japan you have to try vitamin c serum by unlabel lab. It has tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate in it, the packaging is also pump. But don't buy the moisturizer bcs it has essential oil or some kind of like orange oil for as long as I can remember
Those pumps are terrible on them 1 pump and it pumps out enough product for at least 3 uses. Dermatica used to use same pumps thankfully they have changed them now to a much smaller pump .so this type of pump is a waste of so much product ❤
If light “breaks down” vit C , why not use it at night? Doesn’t putting Vit C in the morning and going out cancel its effect? What makes us thing that if Vit C is not in a dark opaque container it is obsolete, then bringing it out of the container and putting in on the face will make it active, when as soon as it “sees” light it is over… Some body explain this to me. Thank you
The rice berry face serum by littliextra is one of my favorite serums I've tried. Its key ingredients feature vit C, ferulic acid, Vitamin E, and black rice water. This smooth and brightening serum efficiently penetrates my skin, acting as a hydrator. It provides instant brightness and glow to my skin; just patting the serum dry on my face does wonders. The serum's consistency is superb, it is not overly sticky and feels lightweight, absorbing rapidly into the skin to leave it soft and smooth. I strongly suggest trying this serum; you'll fall in love with your smooth skin!
This riceberry serum is very effective for my skin as it improved my skin tone and made my skin colour more bright. It is very easy absorbable on my skin. It is very light weight and I will keep on using it daily for sure.
I just wrote a comment…I’ve got the same, and retinol had made it react to ANYTHING other than la Roche posay toleraine and similar. But medik8 vitamin C is incredible. My comment is right near the end!
I have been noticing every time I use Vitamin C, I peel. When I don’t have it on, my face doesn’t peel. I’m currently using CeraVe Vitamin C….it does sting my face, please help
Ugh... Vitamin C lasts longer if you put it in the refrigerator. You also don't need premixed serums. You can use vitamin C powder and mix it with hyaluronic acid. You can keep the vitamin C powder in the refrigerator and it won't oxidize until it is exposed to liquid. I don't know why dermatologists don't tell you this and have you waste your money on these expensive products.
That is an excellent vitamin c serum and I used to use the expensive one, Fully switched over to timeless. I get the jumbo bottle and put it all over my body.
I can't do Timeless. My skin doesn't tolerate it. It burns. I want to love it because of the affordability but I can't. Are there other vitamin c serums you would recommend with out going into the $30.00+ range?
No, it doesn’t have any vitamin c! There are some (not essential) oils that do tho that’s mainly vitamin A and E. eg Rosehip oil - both also antioxidants. I’m trying to remember if raspberry seed oil does. V high in the other 2 also has high sun protection factor!
Doc help mam my skin looks dull and uneven skin tone and darker compare to previous days after using cosmalan peel how to bring back my normal skin colour texture plz tell me
Hey! Love your content. You mentioned before that if you're middle eastern and do laser on your face, it can cause hair to grow back thicker. Well, that happened to me. What do I do to get rid of it? 😢 thank you
@@evelinasaulite4387 that smell is caused by the ferulic acid (which is a supporting and stabilizing ingredient in many vit c products) that has started to oxidize /go bad. Whereas metallic smell is the smell of vitamin c that has started to oxidize / go bad. (Although I can't say at what point the smell /what intensity/ would imply that the product is ineffective. There may still be a big window of time where you can use it or there may not🤷♀️)
I keep going back between Anfisa AN-dew & skinbetter science alto advanced defense Do you recommend one over the other? I'm 37 & have hyperpigmentation
Has anyone tried the Neutrogena’s Vitamin C ampules? 20% pure L - ascorbic acid. Or No. 7’s? Is it possible to use either during the day or will your sunscreen not bind due to the slip of the product? I’m thinking it might be strictly for night time routine. Also, what step in layering do you apply? 🙏💓
We have a vacation trip planned and will be out in the sun most of the day. Besides applying sunscreen frequently and wearing a hat, what else is essential? I am especially concerned about which serums and ingredients should be avoided with sun exposure.
Definetly avoid retinol/retinoids, as they make your skin more sensitive to UV light. Also just generally avoid products that strip your skin and can make it sensitive. A good ingredient to add would be Vitamin C, because it boosts the effects of sunscreen (but I'm sure you already knew that if you are on Dr. Idriss channel much 😉)
I’m thinking I’ve been using a vitamin C serum for a year and it’s never smelled like hotdogs. I’m wondering if it doesn’t smell like that if it was doing nothing this whole time ! 🥹🥹🥲
Love the Ordinary’s powdered ascorbic acid. Since it’s dry, it doesn’t spoil. Mix as you go, and works great…. Plus it’s incredibly inexpensive
I agree, I mix enough for a couple of weeks w a scale along w a japanese toner into a spray bottle and use it all over my body.
Can u mix it with moustiser
I just bought that today!! and really cheaply too!! Excited to try it out

Any opinion on Naturium’s vitamin C serum?
I love it have tried their "super" version for night time. It's affordable and it's in an airless pump✅✅
For me I didn’t like the texture especially underneath the makeup
Hi Doc, please give your thoughts regarding Naturium's Vitamin C, retinal and their other product s? retinal formukas
I know this comment is non related, but my face reacts to Hyaluronic acid and I don't know why! I usually get acne after using it! Yet its said to be a vereyyy important serum for the face😢😢😢😢
You don't need to use HA on its own, It is already in so many products states not really needed. She has done several videos on the subject.

How about the melano cc essence
Timeless leaked and was a mess! Did they re-package their bottles?
does powder asobic acid last longer? the ordinary makes a powder form
Yes because it doesn’t break down until you mix it with something
What is the alternative to glycolic acid as I am sensitive to it.?
Unfortunately Timeless is banned in Europe due to the levels of Ethoxydiglycol. Any alternatives anyone know of?
