SAME! I am even flushing less since I started using it. I did a hard workout this morning and I was shocked when I got to the locker room and only had a slight flush. That’s never happened before.
My skin care journey started with seeing your shorts popping up here and there! Six months later I have a set weekly routine when before I used to wash my face with soap and moisturize maybe twice per season? (not exaggerating, truly so, it was like a treat I forgot to give to myself most days but every blue moon I decided to do it). Sunscreen, a little bit whenever I was holidaying somewhere sunny but never reapplied. Now I use it daily even when indoors and the UV is low. It feels nicer to take care of myself and I’m feeling the positive mental health effects of it too. All thanks to you! (Also I feel like most dermatologists online just sound like undercover ads, whilst you almost apologize everytime you mention brand names, makes me truly feel I’m actually getting advice and not just being sold something). Pls get PillowTalkDerm to the UK!
I also watch Dr Dray and she recommended niacinamide as alternative. I have atopic dermatitis and eczema so I couldn't tolerate Vit C but niacinamide worked for me. It's also a formulation thing so I'm hoping I'll find a good Vit C for sensitive skin (that works) in the future
The 10% ascorbic acid serum and ascorbil glucoside toner combo I use just makes my face feel really warm and it drives me insane 😂 now I get it why, thank you!! you are amazing, your content is easy to understand and you're funny too! ❤
I am so glad you touched on this! I have been using vitamin c for the past month. I use a vitamin c 15% serum, moisturizer and a turmeric vitamin c cleanser. It’s made my skin glow and pores are nearly invisible. I had textured skin and tried everything, but looks like vitamin c has helped my skin. I don’t have sensitive skin, perhaps it’s the reason it has not irritated it.
@@melisama6113 unfortunately not, my product is in a form of a dropper 🫤. It has 12%. But sadly, it's not my favourite. The texture is a bit sticky, it never absorbs into my face completely. After a few hours my face tends to get a bit itchy and the dried product tends to 'roll' on your face, so it looks like a wet, flaking kin (not everywhere ofc). I stopped using it in the morning completely and sometimes I use it at night so it doesn't go into a waste since it's not exactly cheap.
Thank you so much for making these videos about vit C because every one I've ever tried has done dirty! As I've gotten older I have very severe sensitive skin and they irritated me and gave me a rash on my face. Can you do a video about slugging or using vaseline on your face because I've used the aquaphor and I think it's done something to me. Don't mean that in a good way I mean a bad way
Lol, in 2nd grade chemistry we did an experiment with apples and lemon about apple oxidation, and i learned lemon juice's called ascorbic acid; the difference between straight up lemon juice in your skincare product is that when it's off the fruit it also has like minerals and fiber residue. The thing in the bottle you (should) be using is purified lemon juice to isolate the ascorbic acid, then reduced with a ph neutral paste. So the 10%, 20% whatever is actually the total content of lemon juice in relation to the whole weight of the contents of the bottle.
Thank you! I have all these questions for sensitive skin you got one of them! I don’t need to be a Guinea pig anymore 🤣 or waste more money on skin products
My skin HATES vitamin c. Apparently i don't need it, but the only vitamin c serum i can use is the glossier one, and i'm not really sure i saw much of a difference with it. Anything with ascorbic acid 10% and above makes my skin burn.
I was using urban xrn face moisturiser and it has THD, just yesterday out of curiosity I asked them the % of THd in their product, and guess what it was freaking less than 1%. What % would you recommend for THD form of Vit c! As always you are the best dermatologist, love your honesty and how authentic you are! Love from Melbourne Australia ❤
Hope you answer doctor. A. Is it true that THD needs to be stabilized with acetyl zingerone otherwise it is inflammatory?? There is a study claiming this. B. Many products use THD at higher concentrations ie 7 to 20%. Is this bad??
I use the ordinary 100% L ascorbic acid powder. I never had any problems and I used to do one scoop of the little spoon they give you mixed with either water or hyaluronic acid (few drops). Now I wonder if that's too much, bc that's definitely over 20% and how could I still use L ascorbic acid powder without overdoing it
It does nothing to me in ascorbic acid form, when I see when you, doctor, use your tetraexyl deciloscorbate you are super red. I wonder is that the difference in ours skins or I would be as red as you with the ester form. Need to check it, but I am not from the US so can't buy your products 😢
I have very sensitive and reactive skin, and I use Vit C (ascorbic acid) at 10%. I discovered that using it directly on my skin was definitely not the best for me (I looked like Hellboy’s offspring), but thanks to you I decided to give COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence a try also. I still get a bit red due to my skin being so reactive, but the combo has done WONDERS for my dry skin and sensitive skin!
I bought a serum with ascorbic acid and I think it's a little too harsh on my skin, it was a bit more expensive than my usual stuff and I'd love to use it at least to get my moneys worth, is there any way to make it less irritating, so I can use the rest of the bottle?😅
I uesd to wear an SPF with vitamin C and it burned my face and made me break out. So I stopped using it and my skin has improved a lot. Also note, I have very sensitive skin and have rosacae
I’m 40 years old, I’ve been told my whole life that I look young for my age. I get asked for ID alllllll the time. BUT… I’ve noticed my skin tone isn’t as “smooth”. My skin isn’t sensitive, oily or dry. Do you have any suggestions? ❤ I’d LOVE a reply!!! ❤
I've been using Cerave 10% Pure Vitamin C serum for a little over 2 months now and I absolutely love it. Is it ok to just continue with 10%? Is it a must to increase the strenght over time?
Me using pure vit c serum with 30% for two months not seeing any results and not having any bad sensitivity problem with it: -_- Me using azelaic acid for three weeks and already having way less visible pigmentation spots and brighter looking skin: O_O
Not necessarily US specific. More so an internet slang/ younger people thing. Personification of objects in general to spice up texts has been around forever, though, and in many languages :)
I don’t even think it is a USA specific thing. “She” is often used in other languages to refer to beautiful things like ships or buildings as some sort of personification.
Always? No. She has filmed at her office, inside Ubers, in her bathroom, in drugstores.I gather shes busy and films wherever convenient. Only suspicious thing is you trying to throw shade.
I would like to really concentrate on the content of your videos but just wondering why the way of your talking is so strange. Is it acting or botox or something else?
You're my favorite Dematologue... thank you for your great content and have a great 2024!
Lol "Beeyotch" 😂
That was cute the way you blocked out the word in your own way.
Thanks for info...didnt know this about vit C
The Vanicream one you recommended has been gentle on my rosacea eczema prone skin.
I have this but set it aside ! I didn’t realize she recommend it
Absolutely Vani cream is my go for everything hair skin body soap extremely extremely the best
Wow glad i saw this cause i also have rosacea eczema
My tube just arrived!
Hope it works 🤞

I totally agree self-care is the best thing I was hit and miss too with skin care but overall it makes you feel good and look better
Dr. Idriss needs to write a book. I can't remember all of this.
I take notes, now. 😅
Thank you! I can't use most vitamin c on my face. I break out with itchy hives on my face. Now I understand why. ❤
Same! Realized this only after buying one from at my derm 😅
Vit c plays havoc on my existing acne n aggrevates it

You crack me up! Learned something and had a good laugh too. Thanks.
Literally no one would know this unless they went to derm school or went to a derm. You're doing the lords work 🙌
Other than these amazing skincare tips, we really need an eyeliner tutorial from you! It's always on POINT.😂
Seriously!❤
Omg thank you! I posted a makeup video recently on my channel 💄💜
Thank you Dr.😊
She really said, "The vitamin C you want is petrfagvdjdkkxjfnbfbsbate"
These are so hard to keep up with.. I need a chart 🤧
We have a Vitamin C chart on the PillowtalkDerm IG page 🫶

Can you just drop a full video or list with screenshots of every product you use ? That would be helpful cuz ur skin is amazin
Oh my god i know...wish my skin looked like hers. Her skin looks so damn good
Thank you! I have different routine videos on my channel 🫶
@@shereeneidrissoh my god hi Shereene! Yay you commented! 😸
I'm currently trying the Vitamin C from Ordinary (ascrobil glucoside). I think once I reach the bottom I won't re-buy it.
I was just about to ask abt the ordinary ascorbic in powder. Is that the one u use? And what %is it. ? Ty! 😊

I've been using 20% Ascorbic for over a month and I'm seeing no results. SO frustrating.
What do you think of The Ordinary’s Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F?
Yes this is what I’m using !
Theres a Paula's Choice 25% so is that no good then? My skin isn't too sensitive but I was thinking of trying it for my stubborn pigmentation.
Are you able to provide any product recommendations for those of us with sensitive skin but want to incorporate vitamin C?
I love my PillowtalkDerm Active Seal with THD because it is suitable for sensitive skin
@pillowtalkderm thanks Doc!
I am currently trying Timeless. Uhhh I accidentally bought 20% and I have sensitive skin. It hasnt bucked up yet
What are those groovy gorgeous earrings please? Ty for your great advice
Thank you! I just adore you
For a second, I was back in HS trying to pretend we did not just say a bad word! 🤣
Thank you! I have all these questions for sensitive skin you got one of them! I don’t need to be a Guinea pig anymore 🤣 or waste more money on skin products
It's makes my brown skin darker when ever I apply, it's so weird

Dr idriss what are your thoughts on Caudalie’s vinoperfect serum?
Twice a day, so with a retinoid too, at night?? 🌃 😮 Aren't they problematic together??
Love how kept it clean but got past it
I was using urban xrn face moisturiser and it has THD, just yesterday out of curiosity I asked them the % of THd in their product, and guess what it was freaking less than 1%.
What % would you recommend for THD form of Vit c!
As always you are the best dermatologist, love your honesty and how authentic you are! Love from Melbourne Australia ❤
Part two please Thank you
how can i know the percentage if the brand does not mention it anywhere ?
Hope you answer doctor. A. Is it true that THD needs to be stabilized with acetyl zingerone otherwise it is inflammatory?? There is a study claiming this. B. Many products use THD at higher concentrations ie 7 to 20%. Is this bad??
Thank you Dr Idris. Fire as always. What form of Vitamin C is best for someone with melasma?
I would like to know this, as well! Horrible melisma !
Don't GO Wrong and Strong, trust Dr. IDRISS she knows her stuff 💯👊🏻

Now I wonder if that's too much, bc that's definitely over 20% and how could I still use L ascorbic acid powder without overdoing it
I recently bought the cosrx vitamin c and I just checked out the percentage of ascorbic acid and it says 23%. What should I do now?!
Did someone ever tell Doc that she has similar features to Lady Gaga.so gorgeous❤
If it makes me peel, that means it’s working. If it doesn’t it’s a crap product and I just wasted my money :(
It does nothing to me in ascorbic acid form, when I see when you, doctor, use your tetraexyl deciloscorbate you are super red. I wonder is that the difference in ours skins or I would be as red as you with the ester form. Need to check it, but I am not from the US so can't buy your products 😢
Your skin is perfection!!!😊Also, can you tell me what lipstick you are wearing please?
I just got the CeraVe vitamin c. My first try at this was the Ordinary. My skin handled it so, I'm good.
I have very sensitive and reactive skin, and I use Vit C (ascorbic acid) at 10%. I discovered that using it directly on my skin was definitely not the best for me (I looked like Hellboy’s offspring), but thanks to you I decided to give COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence a try also. I still get a bit red due to my skin being so reactive, but the combo has done WONDERS for my dry skin and sensitive skin!
Do you use the snail essence before vitamin C?
I use 10% ascorbic acid. Thankfully my skin loves it!
I bought a serum with ascorbic acid and I think it's a little too harsh on my skin, it was a bit more expensive than my usual stuff and I'd love to use it at least to get my moneys worth, is there any way to make it less irritating, so I can use the rest of the bottle?😅
Same here. I stopped using it on my face and started using it on my arms and chest.
What about 3-o ethyl ascorbic acid, Dr Shereene? It’s in Beauty of joseon serum and I’ve been eyeing it out since it was released.
Can I use dove soap before using tretinoin 0.05%
I uesd to wear an SPF with vitamin C and it burned my face and made me break out. So I stopped using it and my skin has improved a lot. Also note, I have very sensitive skin and have rosacae
Is consuming my daily intake of vitamin c enough or do I still have to apply on my skin
How about ascorbic acid but to drink ? Thank you
I think that's called orange juice.
I use the one from cosrx 13% ascorbic acid and it’s so good!
Where is your clinic? i want to visit
My face always turn orange after a couple of hours applying ascorbic acid. What I am doing wrong??? 😢
What about magnesium ascorbyl phosphate?
Thank you Dr Shereene! Is THD suitable for acne-prone skin?
Me who uses the TO vit c suspension with 23% absorbic acid 😀
Advanced clinicals is 0.5% vit c. Is that still productive?

How do u look filtered

What if I just use straight up rosehip oil on my face? Ive been doing it for over a year now and I love it but, is it bad for me?

There are other less irritating ingredients. She's a staple, not a necessity, right?
Why not show us the ideal product?
How about q10?
Say tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate ten times fast 🤣
Omgggg I get it know
Why do people from the USA call things she?
Not necessarily US specific. More so an internet slang/ younger people thing. Personification of objects in general to spice up texts has been around forever, though, and in many languages :)
While it’s sounds awkward in English, in many other languages calling things s/he is a normal practice.
I don’t even think it is a USA specific thing. “She” is often used in other languages to refer to beautiful things like ships or buildings as some sort of personification.
Why not? Is it such a problem? Can you just listen to the AMAZING education of products??
