Can confirm that the Prequel Lucent C is fairly gentle for a 15% LAA product 🙌🏻 I also love using on my body under sunscreen if I’m going to be out in the sun
I’ve developed rosacea in my mid 40’s. I have been using the Prequel Lucent C for about 5 months now and it’s been great! I appreciate the quality of your brand and affordability! 😊
Once I entered menopause, my L Ascorbic acid no longer worked. I love DRMTLGY's C5x lotion, it has five types of vitamin C, including THD Ascorbate, absorbs well, and is reasonably priced. I love it and have used it for years.
I love love your Lucent-C Serum. I have used many L-ascorbic acid serums over the years, but now yours is my favorite! It applies easily and absorbs well, and has an amazing price point. The only minor issue I have with it is when the contents get low, it is hard to pump out the serum without making a mess all over the pump head. I do appreciate the packaging in general, though. And for all its positives, I will keep repurchasing.
just tried your Prequel lucent c serum and it's now my go to vitamin c serum. Its so gentle, yet has all those effective ingredients. I don't know how you did it! And I love how affordable it is. ❤
Super sensitive, but weird skin over here (ok with glycolic, but not lactic acid for example…) and the best option I found so far is the Rohto CC Melano. It’s inexpensive and as a bonus it smells like yuzu, not that hot dog water 🤮
Thanks for the info! I've used Prequel and Vanicream and agree both are great inexpensive options. I have sensitive skin and had no issues with either of these. Side question - what's on your lips??
I tried the Naturium Vitamin C Complex and liked it. I emailed the company to find out the percent of Vitamin C in the product. Tneir response was that the percentage of ingredients in tneir products is proprietary. Is it important to know the percent of Vitamin C in a Vitamin C product? I finished the Naturium and ordered your Prequel. I'm using it now and like it, too.
I didn’t have a problem with L-ascorbic acid until I did. I somehow became sensitized to a popular vitamin C and some products including fragrance all of a sudden. Thank you for offering solutions for us sensitive types who want to take advantage of vitamin C!
I have some very sensitive and rashy (around my eyes and hairline) skin postpartum so I have to avoid LAA serums, even this lovely Naturium vitamin C. That’s where the Vanicream came into my life and I really like it! I use their facial moisturizer and facial moisturizer with SPF too and they are all so good! I’m one of the few who doesn’t like the cleanser I guess. Strange texture and it’s drying. I love your Prequel Gleanser though! My absolute favorite ever.
My super sensitive skin has never been able to tolerate retinol or vitamin C. That arm test doesn't work for me because my arms aren't as sensitive as my face. I've had wonderful results with Prequel so I may try this one.
I’ve tried a lot of LAA serums and reacted to them all. The Budget Derm also recommends THD ascorbate for sensitive skin types so I’ve started using it with no reactivity. So far I’ve used The Ordinary and Vanicream. I don’t love the texture of The Ordinary’s and it’s a bit too oily to wear under makeup, but it’s something like 20% THD compared to vanicream’s 5%. So I used Vanicream on days I wear makeup and The Ordinary on days I don’t! Both are really affordable. Hope this helps someone.
Hi Dr. Ellis, thanks for all the great info. Have you ever used and reviewed the "Timeless" products? If not, I'd love to get your opinion. I've been using their skincare for years, and when bought from their site when they're running sales (often in association with major holidays) their prices per ounce just can't be beat!
i would love to see a video deep dive on ethylated ascorbic acid, specifically. i think it's the most promising out of all vitamin c derivatives, but i don't think it's talked about enough! i would also love a 15 % or 20 % 3OEA serum from Prequel, that would be amazing.
I’ve used the Prequel vitamin C for some days now and haven’t reacted!! The Skinceuticals VitC Ferulic made my skin react terribly… the naturium I also like, but it makes my makeup break down off throughout the day.
I'm trying Mad hippie vit C which has the derivative sodium ascorbic phosphate. So far so good, it's super smooth on the skin and no irritation. I've picked that derivative cause I've read it might be also beneficial for helping with blemishes.
I’ve been using Timeless 10% c serum for 6 months now. I just purchased the 20% so I hope I am ok with it. After vit c I apply Paula’s choice ultra light antioxidants which has THD in it. I wanted Resveratrol in a product so I use that daily after my cut c serum.
I used the Naturium and i really liked it but i couldn't order it anymore so i had to find something else,so now i am using the Medik8 THD serum,i really really like it.
Huge fan of Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum. I responded terribly to Skinceuticals CE Ferulic and was so bummed out at that price point. However, was recommended Skin Better Science Alto Advanced and my skin had zero issues with it and has improved over a couple of months.
I'd love a video focused solely on the benefits/what's possible with a topical vitamin C vs taking an oral vitamin C supplement. I take an oral liposomal vitamin C everyday but I also use the Numbuzin 5+ serum and I always wonder if there's any redundancy there..
In Dr. Dray’s review of Naturium products, she said that gold has no benefits in skincare and I’ve been avoiding it ever since. Now I don’t know who to listen to 😕
On some ingredient libraries (incidecoder, paula's choice, cosdna) there are two types of gold. If it's listed as just gold, it will just be described as a colorant and/or possible irritant. Colloidal gold can be described as a preservative, solvent, or antimicrobial.
Because it doesn’t, on the naturium products it’s used as an stabilizer, is not affecting the skin, it’s just prolonging the life of the product, so they both said the truth, hope this helps🤍
It doesnt. She just said it helps stabilise the product. Similiar to how something like a paraben helps keep products stabilised and going bad from mold.
Dr. Ellis, have you tested the Timeless Vitamin C? If so, is like to hear your thoughts on that product. I have sensitive skin, and I’ve been using this brand (20% L ascorbic for my face/ 10% for my neck) for almost 3 years. I seem to be developing a sensitivity to it, so this video is pretty timely for me!
Do you have recommendations for vitamin C alternatives? I tried vanicream vitamin C and my skin did not like it. Usually love your recommendations for sensitive skin though!
Same here… no matter what I try, my skin just does not like vit C in any form. I’ve also found Dr. Ellis to be extremely helpful with ultra sensitive skin and rosacea recommendations!
Naturium does ship to Canada but does charge shipping. I paid $12 US on a $78 order but I really liked the products I tried, the vitamin C serum and the retinaldehyde and thought the price was reasonable for the quality.
Hi Dr. Ellis, question about Vitamin C. I heard on a science podcast that L-ascorbic acid is basically useless because it’s water soluble and therefore can’t absorb into your skin - that you would need to use a lipid soluble Vitamin C in order for it to actually absorb into the skin. This sounds like a logical argument, but also completely contradicts what I normally hear from dermatologists praising L-ascorbic acid. Any chance you could provide clarification on this issue?
In the meantime, I might check out Dr. Idriss' videos on vit c (she has several) discussing the different vit c derivatives and how they are supposed to work (oil soluble, water soluble, etc).
@@db-gb5xi Thanks for the rec! Just watched the video and it had some great info. I guess I’m still confused though as to why anyone would use L-ascorbic acid over a lipid-soluble option like THD ascorbate. Unless I misunderstood, in her video it sounded like she said THD ascorbate (which is what I use) absorbs into the skin better than L-ascorbic acid and then is converted into L-ascorbic acid once it’s absorbed. So it sounds like THD ascorbate gives the same benefits as L-ascorbic acid but uses a better vehicle to do so. Add to that the fact that THD ascorbate is more stable and gentler than L-ascorbic acid, I guess I’m still not understanding why L-ascorbic acid would be the go-to Vitamin C option for anyone. There could be factors at play that I’m missing, but for now I’m still confused.
Luckily clinical studies have been performed on human skin with l-ascorbic acid and it does get into tissue! There are so many things that determine skin penetration besides lipid vs water solubility. 😊
Thank you for all the recommendations. My big question is do any of these vitamin C’s have the hot dog smell. I purchased timeless, vitamin C, and I’m very sensitive to smells, and I could not stand to use it on my face because of the smell. So basically, I wasted my money, I haven’t purchased another one cents because I don’t know what they smell like. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks for this video! As I have sensitive skin with mild rosacea (which I have kept with no flare ups) i am sceptical with vitamin C as I had hard reactions in the past with different vitamin c serums. What do you think of HYDRA-AOX - Antioxidant face serum with vitamin C? Is it suitable for sensitive types of skin like mine? Thanks ❤
Hi Dr. Ellis, I personally love Timeless 20% L-ascorbic acid. Initially, when I first started using it, I noticed a slight sting, but it never ever left any irritation on my skin and now I’ve been using it for like two years.. I am interested in trying PREQUEL’s vit c . Off-topic I was just wondering when your barrier therapy skin protectant cream will be back in stock. I love it.
Aw thank you! If you decide to try Lucent-C, I hope you love it! Unfortunately it doesn’t look like our Barrier Therapy will be back in stock til mid-August.
When I get a product and I do a patch test on my arm it doesn’t do anything to me but when I put it on my face, then the burning starts and the itch too so can you tell me what can I do?
This video is so helpful! My skin HATES vitamin C, last year I tried to introduce it in my skincare and it broke me out so badly. But I'd love to be able to add it to my routine. I was looking into the Beauty of Joseon Vit. C + centella serum (which I think contains a derivative), has anyone tried it?
It's 3-O-ethyl ascorbic. Dr. Jenny Liu talks about the product in her video, dermatologist shares favorite korean skincare ingredients. No BS Beauty and Kelly Driscoll have reviewed it and so has cosmetic formulator Glow by Ramon.
Wonderful, thank you very much Dr. Ellis. More and more people have sensitive skin due to lifestyle, allergies or environmental pollution. And it's nice to offer them an option for antiaging products as well. I have heard so many good things about your own product line Prequel. I would like to try several products, but I live in Europe. Is there a way to buy the products?

The Geek& Gorgeous C Glow with 15% L-Ascorbic acid is amazing! I never experienced any irritation with it. It feels like water on the skin.
I've had success with Maelove Glow Maker. I look forward to trying your product.
You did not mention Timeless vitamin C serum…
With ferulic acid and vitamin E.
This is a very good product
I think that's a different form of vitamin C that may irritate sensitive skin. So it's a good product but maybe not for sensitive skin.
I just started using this one. Praying it helps!🙏🏻
Thank you! I hope one day you have a stockist for your products in Australia! ☺️
Super sensitive, but weird skin over here (ok with glycolic, but not lactic acid for example…) and the best option I found so far is the Rohto CC Melano. It’s inexpensive and as a bonus it smells like yuzu, not that hot dog water 🤮
Thanks for the info! I've used Prequel and Vanicream and agree both are great inexpensive options. I have sensitive skin and had no issues with either of these. Side question - what's on your lips??

Had the same problem with prescription tretinoin. I was able to use it fine for years until I couldn’t. I blame menopause.
I would love to try Prequel Vit C please deliver to Canada 🇨🇦 🙏

I'm trying Mad hippie vit C which has the derivative sodium ascorbic phosphate. So far so good, it's super smooth on the skin and no irritation. I've picked that derivative cause I've read it might be also beneficial for helping with blemishes.
Hi Dr. Sam! Thanks for this very informative video as always! Do you know any option in Korean skincare brands?

thanks as alwayssss! can we get a video on at home IPL hair removal? hehehe i’m in the market
The IPL from Braun was on sale at Costco a few weeks ago. I bought it in January and after 6 sessions, the hair on my armpit is completely gone.
I wanted to buy Prequel Vitamin C during your sale last week but it seemed to be the only product not included in the sale.
Cant get any of them in EU 😢
Do we need to incorporate Vit C in our routine if we already use tretinoin ?
I might check her morning routine or night routine videos where she talks about layering products.
When I get a product and I do a patch test on my arm it doesn’t do anything to me but when I put it on my face, then the burning starts and the itch too so can you tell me what can I do?
You can always try patch testing under the ear close to ur hairline. The skin there is more like the skin on ur face.

Maybe check her other vit c videos? I know the budget dermatologist likes them.
