This is why you need a good chemist to understand what and how actually chemicals work. Not self named estheticians or just cosmetic lovers. Thank you Michelle ♥️
All chemist don't know about the skin Dummy soooo.
@@riveraspen2745 Having chemical degree it is not that difficult to understand how skin works. However it doesn't work wise versa - aesthetician (without Physio/chem degree) can't tell explain you chemical reactions the way it should be done. But it is only my opinion, you don't have to agree with it :)
This is why a good esthetician has an understanding of ingredients. You can’t effectively treat patients/clients or communicate what you’d want the chemist to formulate if you don’t.
@@riveraspen2745 you sound like you know nothing about anything lol
We need Michelle to exist 🤍
I can’t wait for part two….it’s been a year since this part one came out 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
this is crazy, I was literally doing research on vitamin C this week and was just thinking how I was gonna check your channel for some info and then this pops up!! perfect timing!
Yay! Hope it answered some of your questions ^_^
@@LabMuffinBeautySciencefffffx শ্ব,
Retinoids are a staple in my day and night routines and I thought I couldn’t use it with Vitamin C. Nice to know it’s not a hard no! Would love to see your routine using both actives
Your skin looks amazing!
Michelle: talking about vitamin c in skincare and going into the usual crazy details that I should be paying attention...
Me: that's such a cute Halloween shirt... Where to find 🦇
Haha it's Black Milk 😊
@@LabMuffinBeautyScience Looks like a new website to be obsessed with now.... 😂
Thank you for a wonderful video! Very informative! A couple of years ago I heard a dermatologist talk about the ABC of skincare. “A” for vitamin A or tretinoin, “B” for vitamin B or niacinamide, and “C” for vitamin C. The derm basically the “A” was best and most effective for the skin. I use the first two (A and B) and they work wonderfully. I tried for a few years to use vitamin C and it didn’t do anything for my skin. I made sure I used the ascorbic acid version and tried inexpensive to expensive versions, water based and oil based and didn’t see any change. I’ve seen pretty major changes in my skin with using vitamin A. And vit C can be quite expensive. With the vitamin A my insurance covers it. It’s been well worth it for my skin.
It's definitely not necessary for everyone, although I do like it because of the potential long term advantages. I would personally pick a proper retinoid over vitamin C!
Same here. I did a lot of research and chose a pretty pricey Vit C serum, which I used religiously every morning after cleansing, for over 3 months. I saw zero difference in my skin. Been using Retin A for about 5 years now, with excellent results, and figure the other skin care products I use have the antioxidants I need. Won’t be buying any more Vit c serums.
All these reminded me is that I’m too lazy to chase a worth-it Vitamin C skincare. I’ll keep my sunscreen+tretinoin game (and save some cash😉), thank you very much.
Can't wait for part two! I'm interested in learning about sodium ascorbyl phosphate
It's a weak, ineffective derivative that is poorly absorbed and doesn't really get into the skin. It has shown to somehow help with acne and likely can act as an antioxidant but don't count on it for anti-aging, collagen-boosting effects, or anything else you'd want from vitamin C. I.e., look for a better version of vitamin C, ideally sticking with stabilized l-ascorbic acid.
Tetrahexldecyl acid is the good one but pricey.
@@정세훈-k6k what about ethyl ascorbic acid? i’ve heard that it has ~80%ish pure ascorbic acid
Omg I'm so glad this video popped up and debunked the 'ascorbic acid decreases UV protection' myth for me. I'd stopped wearing it under sunscreen but now I'll wear it with gusto!
Soooo many myths (industry moves many dermatologists succumbed to) are busted in her videos. Absolutely love her!
Could you do some videos on nail care chemistry? I feel like that doesn’t get talked about much.
I have been using a collagen powder in a shake about four times a week for 6 months. it has made a huge difference with my nails. I don't have as many ridges and they just look pinker and healthier. So much so I don't even like to wear nail polish over my nails anymore.
Hmmm maybe - I started my blog talking about nails! What did you want to know? 😊
Yes I would love this too! I do try to eat well and take supplements but my nails remain brittle. I would love to understand how to better care for them 😊
@@LabMuffinBeautyScience not op but also very keen for this!
I would like to know:
- best practice wrt basic care, eg what damages nails, how to maintain healthy nails (especially when one works with cleaners, or gardens, or as a mechanic, and other hand-intensive work), different types of nails (eg my sibling has mega thick nails - they're almost claws - whereas mine are quite weak)
- mythbusting, eg do nail strengtheners work, will it damage them to have them constantly painted/covered with acrylics, can you tell if someone's malnourished by the lunula or white patches or cloudiness (a common thing that my mum's naturopath frequently said)
- how to recover from damage, eg injuries, infections, whether nail beds can recover from a lifetime of chewing (that one is not at all personal >.>)
there's, uh, a short list for you? lol. it's not your main area of interest, of course, so i'd equally appreciate recs for scientifically-focussed sources. i don't really know enough about it to figure that out for myself and i trust your judgement ^_^
Can’t wait for part two! Finding affordable versions is really difficult! :)
Gurl i been waiting 2 years 😭
I love hearing you speak! Such a calming voice, demeanor, and accent. And most importantly, I love how you share your knowledge and research. Thank you 😊
Love these videos :) Michelle, can you do one about key hair product ingredients? Like - what is it in "volumising" products that actually gives your hair volume?
I choose retinoid rather than Vitamin C. Retinoid have the best evidence when it comes to reverse sun damage. People love Vitamin C because they can brighten their skin and presumably boost collagen production. But they tend to be on the pricier side. I'm in love with Tretinoin.
If I had to choose I'd pick tretinoin too! But I use both ^_^
I agree with Michelle. Why choose ? Use them both. ^^
Pretty sure you aren't supposed to use any type of retinoid if you're pregnant or planning to get pregnant. Besides, most people use topical vitC specifically to target hyperpigmentation spots, and in some countries tretinoin is prescription-only; lack of accessibility is the biggest reason others turn to other ingredients to do fairly similar effects.
@@quillpen815 hyperpigmentation can be treated by using other ingredients such as arbutin, kojic acid, licorice root, niacinamide, etc.
For women who get pregnant, there are other ingredients that can help for anti aging such as Alpha hydroxy acids. 9 month pregnancy without using Retinoid is okay. After they are giving birth, just use it back.
I bought the CE Ferulic online directly from Skinceuticals 3 times. The first time it started to discolor after 6 months and I had not finished the bottle. The second time I purchased it, it started to discolor after 3 months. The third (and last) time it was sent to me already discolored. Your remark that it would last a year completely surprised me.
What do use now?
What do you use now?
I think it’s really because you keep them inadequately. She might mean that you’re supposed to wrap aluminum foil and keep in the fridge to keep it for that long.
@@natto2581 Since it arrived after already starting the chemical changer I don't think that is my fault.
Thank you for discussing colloidal gold! Always love hearing your take on ingredients. ❤️
Goshhh.... My SKINCARE QUEEN.... Hey Susan!!! ❤❤❤
I'm really excited to hear your opinion on Inkey List's 15 Vit C + EGF
What convinced me with vitamin C was when I stopped using Geek & Gorgeous after 8-9 months and the started to notice that my forehead was looking darker without it
I am trying SO HARD to love my Geek and Gorgeous but I feel like I can still smell it on my face 12+ hours after I've applied it, so this is motivating to hear lol
I use your recipe for Vit C and use the The Ordinary Resvertrol+Ferulic acid right after.🙂
That's a really good idea!
Such a smooth presentation. No fluff. Good flow. You earned a new subscriber!
The disclaimers sent me rolling! 🤣 Thank you for this information. I've been looking into vitamin C lately, so good timing!
Glad it was helpful! P.S. Don't sue me
Hi I cannot find your Part 2 series on Vitamin C derivatives…where can I find it please? Thanks
I love youuuu! The most underrated cosmetic/beauty RUclipsr ever!!! Been following you from the beginning 😭
This lady is the best, most informative videos and her voice is amazing to listen to lol
Rohto melano CC needs to mention the vitamin C percentage in the product.
Missha also has a vitamin c product that allows you to mix the powder in once it arrives. I just ordered it and I reaaaally hope the scent is as light and citrusy as other people describe it as.
Eucerin has excellent new packaging solution for vitamin C (with powder activation). It doesn't oxidize with easy video instructions as to how to use it without compromising it at all. Using it for months.
Thank you! My eyebrow pencil went red all of a sudden and I had no idea it was a reaction to the Maelove Glow Maker I'd recently started using. (I'm ditching the brow pencil and keeping the vitamin C).
🙋🏽♀️ when you talked about ascorbic acid into an oily base, you mentioned that the ascorbic acid slowly dissolves in the water that is evaporating from the skin. You also mentioned the TEWL… could you please explain the connection between ascorbic acid in an oily base and TEWL? I am pretty sure I misunderstood the message 😅🙈
I think she meant that tewl is always happening, and that these oil based products rely on it to deliver the vitC into the skin because oils don't really stop tewl... i think actually nothing fully stops tewl, maybe saran wrap lol?
I think it's that because of TEWL, these oil/silicone based ascorbic acids work. TEWL is what releases the water from your skin and dissolves the ascorbic acid.
Yep that ^ TEWL from your skin dissolves the ascorbic acid crystals which allows the AA to absorb into skin.
@@LabMuffinBeautyScience so, would this mean that these type or AA would increase TEWL? Or just taking advantage of the water that we normally lose to dissolve the AA without increasing TEWL? 🤔🙏🏼
@@CieloSkin they just take advantage of it
I am a bit confused about if Vitamin C and retinoids can be layered.
Conventional wisdom is that L-ascorbic acid and retinol shouldn't be layered, because they destabilize each other and work at different PHs, making each other less effective. I do sometimes read that more stable derivates can be layered (like retinyl palmitate or granactive retinoid and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate or sodium ascorbyl), but that one would not be able to layer, say, tretinoin and L-ascorbic acid.
I've seen some folks say you CAN layer them, so long as your skin can tolerate them. I've even seen some say that, contrary to popular belief, they don't destabilize each other, but actually stabilize each other. Is this true? I see one study that these folks mostly cite. I've only read thr abstract (I don't think I have enough technical understanding to bother trying to read the actual study), but it seems to be that it was a split-face study that compared a retinol/vitamin C mixture to a placebo, rather than a retinol/vitamin C layering to people using one or the other. Does the fact that the experimental group saw better results than the control group show that these products don't destabilize each other? Or does it only show that, even if the effectiveness of the products are reduced when combined, they still produce SOME results, and certainly better results than just applying a vehicle?
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15767769/
My second question is about layering AHAs or BHAs with L-ascorbic acid. Most websites say this is a no-no, too. But they mostly say it's a no-no because of irritation. How about for the people whose skin can tolerate it, though? Do the products destabilize each other/reduce each other's effectiveness, or are they fine layered?
Hello Dr Michelle, can you please make elaborate vidoes like this on all popular skincare ingredients like ceramides, exfoliants, niacinamide etc
Hi michelle, love how educational your videos are. Could you please do a video on scarring and products to help with that? Thank you 💕
A video on how you became a cosmetic chemist would be much appreciated. I’m going to school for chemistry and was wondering how I could become a cosmetic chemist like you
Where is part 2?
I've been using Regimen Labs vitamin x serum which has vitamin c. I've been loving it!
It’s been so long since part 1 I almost thought part 2 existed at some point and then was deleted -.-
Lab Muffin video yeeeesss 🤩🤩!! I've been using vitamin c for a while. It's the diy from one of your videos and I apply it after a glycolic acid face wash (Loreal Paris). So far my skin looks a lot brighter and I started incorporating azeliac acid as well. Just need to find a high uva sunscreen, which is kinda hard in the US 🙃.
Yay that's great to hear! If you can't import a sunscreen, maybe check out Bondi Sands! It's approved in Australia so it has better UVA protection than most US sunscreens ^_^
@@LabMuffinBeautyScience
Hi Michelle I have a query.
You have said that the spf differs with the quantity we apply. Does it applies to uva to? For instance overapplying a
pa+++ sunscreen can give protection equal to pa++++?
@@linalex3860 Maybe, but it's really difficult to overapply enough - PA+++ to PA++++ is double the protection, you'd need double the normal amount of sunscreen.
@@LabMuffinBeautyScience
Thanks Michelle, here in India pa ++++ sunscreen are pretty heavy. So I apply more and frequently of spf 30 and
pa+++(they are very light). I think you might like Indian sunscreens, they mostly use tinosorbs and uvinals for uva and they are very affordable tho.
Thanks a lot for the great and informative video 😁! One of the product packaging categories you missed were Vitamin C ampoules. What do you think of the Vichy LiftActiv Peptide-C Ampoules? I'd really like to know your feedback on it since it's the one I'm currently using. Thank you 😁😁❤️
OMG I REALLY NEED TO KNOW THIS!!!
I cant find the part II ? :(
thank you very much for the video !!!
You're a hoot Michelle! I love your sense of humor! I cant wait for part 2!!!
"She bloody warned you!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great topic and I love the way you try to completely cover the different aspects of it. 👍🏻😄
Excellent explanation, so thoughtful and thorough. Thank you, You are a not only a scientist but a teacher as well.
Thank you for this video! I love hearing on the chemical level of why and how Vitamin C is good for skin. I use Timeless Vitamin C which you mentioned. Yay!
Thank you, exactly what I needed! Used the TheOrdinary Serum you've mentioned so far, but didn’t know I could use it with Niacinamide (which is my holy grail). It’s a bit heavy, but I get results and it’s inexpensive. Thought about switching to a different product, but first I'll wait for part 2 of this series.
Thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated your very detailed and relatable info on Vit C. NEW SUBSCRIBER. Thanks much
I love the Lab Muffin Matrix!!
Thank you! I feel like it isn't quite complete, I might add packaging to the formula column too... 🤔
@@LabMuffinBeautyScience Oh I like that idea!
PART TWO IS WHERE?!?!?! I say this out of love for your content, pls make the part 2
Can anyone share the link for part 2 can’t find it
Is part 2 coming soon (I hope)? Love your vids!
Love this style of informative video on a specific ingredient. Would love the same on peptides
Very informative! Looking forward to Part II ! Thank you, Michelle !!
Where is part 2 on the vit c derivatives?
I might have had a bad experience with Paula’s choice one. I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve opened the bottle for about 3 months and products were oxidised. It was super irritating that my eyes and face were swollen for a few days...at the time, I thought it was just allergy or hay fever (but I’ve never had allergy of any kind) and I went back using it and boom...my face was swollen again with impaired skin barrier😵 it took me two weeks to heal.
When I googled my symptoms, I also saw a reddit thread saying vitamin c serums could cause corneal erosion if not used properly around the eye area...I NEVER thought of that!
Awesome video 🤩 Thank you so much! The info provided is as detailed as it could possibly be. I've been using your DIY vitamin C serum for some time now. I've noticed that the formula you propose with baking soda stains my hands, and some time ago I stopped putting baking soda, mixing just ascorbic acid and water. I wonder if this somehow affects the stability or effectiveness 😳
I LITERALLY BEEN WAITING FOR AN UPDATED VITAMIN C GUIDE. I HOPE YOU CAN MAKE SUGGESTION FOR DRUGSTORE/AFFORDABLE VITAMIN C FOR ME AND THOSE PEOPLE WHO CAN'T AFFORD EXPENSIVE BRANDS.
FINALLY! The video I’ve been waiting for!! 😍😍😍😍 Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You’re welcome 😊
where the part two....
Is vit c the only antioxidant that helps collagen production?
Vitamin A is the best for that and yes it's an antioxidant.
Hi. Have you made part 2 yet? I've hunted for it without success.
Great video, so informative! Would love to see a part 2. What do u think about ascorbyl glucoside? I’m really liking the Ordinary Ascorbyl glucoside 12%.
I have the tatcha vitamin c and it’s decent but I can’t wait to try some of these
the video i knew i needed to see from michelle ❤️🔥 btw love your sweatshirt ☠️
Hi Michelle, i love your videos. Can’t find part 2 of the video though…
I can't find the part 2.
Where’s the part 2?
Hi Michelle love your channel I was wondering have you ever done a part two on the vitamin c derivatives I feel like I seen the video floating around somewhere but can’t find it
Thank you for this helpful guide. Did you ever make part 2? I can't seem to find part 2 anywhere on your channel.
Is there a part 2?
Thx for explaining this very important anti-oxidant.
Yes, another one Michelle ✅ I am also obsessed with Vitamin C and of course my 👑 ascorbic acid… I am getting there with my R.E 🤫😍
Thank you for the video Michelle🤗💙
You mentioned that vitamin C effects can last for around 24 hours. If you use a vitamin C serum and wash your face a few hours later then will the vitamin C still work as an antioxidant after that since it has absorbed into the skin OR will it stop working after that since it has been washed off?
And will the answer differ with water based/silicone based serums?
Not sure, I don't think anyone's done a study on the kinetics of ascorbic acid absorption under realistic conditions under that short a time frame yet, or at least not publicly! I would expect that a few hours would be more than enough.
Living for the Halloween cat top, Michelle! Thank you for the informative video (per usual)
ugh, struggling with all the conflicting information out there. So many tout the benefits of Vitamin C, and yet it's questioned if it's the Vitamin C itself giving the benefit or if it's the formulation required to stabilize it which comes with its own anti oxidant qualities. It's highly unstable and questionable if it can even get in the skin since manufacturers aren't required to prove their formulation works. Then there's derivatives which hardly have any studies. The theoretical benefits seem so attractive but scientifically I just don't see where the confidence can come from in a cosmetic world.
Hey, curious if there will be a Part 2 coming out soon? I'd be interested in hearing about the various 'versions' of vitamin c that companies are using claiming it is a vitamin c serum - but not listing ascorbic acid specifically. Cheers :)
I'm working on it!
I’m waiting for part two as well
Full stop. I watch tons of skin nerd influencers, and I'm loving your content. L ascorbic acid is the cheap one, that's what we are getting. Thank you.
It would be great if you could talk about ethyl ascorbic acid. This derivative is flooded in the market. Wanted to know it it actually works !
I always feel sketched out ordering vitamin C serums and having them shipped in the summer heat. It’s 95° here. Does this destroy the serum in any way??
I will be making formulation for hyperpigmentation where i will be using, rice, tomato 🍅 and potato as active ingredient.
Using microspheres technology.
The dosage form will be in aerosol, stick. Mainly waterless stick.
How does it sound.
It's my project work. Please tell. 🙏
Been counting down the days until I finish my current antioxidant serum so I can use the bottle to make some Lab Muffin DIY Vitamin C Serum 😄
I made the DIY formula of the vitamin C serum and it did burn my face lol also it constantly got contaminated. Preparing skincare in my kitchen was a really bad idea lol. I'll stick to a manufactured product unless I have access to a lab to make my own skincare.
Excited for pt2! Looks like it’s not out yet?
I love how smart you are
till waiting for part 2
I just made a diy 15% vit c, 1% alpha tocopheral, 1% ferulic acid, 1% glutathione combo serum. I absolutely fcking love it. It's a long way to make the "final" one that's actually good. So many trials and errors. A long journey from just mix vit c powder with water in my hand and pat to my face to using penetration enhancer, emulsifier and some messy stuffs.
I don't know how long it gonna last outside the fridge before it's too oxidized. But it is actually really cheap compared to those serum out there. Especially in long term.
I never use Skinceutical, so I can't compare mine to it but mine literally changed my skin in a month and a half.
You are amazing at explaining.
I suggest trying the Cosmetic Skin Solutions 15% Supreme CE serum. In addition to ascorbic acid and vitamin E it also contains glutathione and arbutin. It does use alcohol as a penetration enhancer but the asciactic acid and hyalutonic acid are good at mitigating irritation. I have never had this oxidize even at the end of the bottle which for me is 6 months. THis is my favorote of all the many ascorbic acid products I have tried.
This is great, thanks!❤️
I'm obsessed with my Timeless Vitamin C (like so many other commenters across the internet 😆)!
I've tried the anhydrous formulas from The Ordinary and CeraVe, but both tended to sting my skin as you mentioned.😕
I also love the Timeless but I wonder if the metal spring in the pump affects the serum efficacy over time? I only noticed when I tried to unscrew the top to get the last drops out of my near empty tube.
Oh my 😄 Michelle is considering DIY skin care options! It got me excited to try it! 😁 Specially because I don't have the money to spend in the Skinceuticals 🙄
She's been making vit c serum at home for years now.
@@donotreply8979 I didn't know that! I'll have to check those videos then. I find it funny because when I hear DIY skincare, I think of smudging an orange all over my face 😆😅
I am loving your videos so far. So informative and thorough. I find I get so much more out of it when you include some science. You also seem to have a quite exhaustive list of vit C candidates. I did not notice the one from SkinDeva. That is the one I was thinking of buying. What do you think?
My mother used to make a masc with fresh lemon and the white part of the egg, was letting it penetrate for 10-20 minutes onto her skin. I did this also when I was a teenage. I never had problems from it. It helped my acne. What do you think about that? How effective it would be for collagen production, how deep can the lemon and egg ingredients penetrate the skin?
the real Kween of vitamin C 😩🙏🏼 we love to see it
What about fat soluble VC? I recently stumbled on this and its got me wondering. No water , just a "fatty delivery system." (( Cyclomethicone, Isododecene, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, L-Ascorbic Acid, Dimethicone Copolymer, Dimethiconol, Dimethicone Crosspolymer 3, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclotetrasiloxane, Octyl Cocoate, Phenyltrimethicone, Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate, Lecithin, Glycolipids, Phenoxyethanol.))
*Looks at my 100% Vitamin C Powder in amazement*
Best vitamin C video so far.
The Ordinary C suspension Ha works well because it froms a dermal patch releasing in a time released fashion the Ascorbic acid with the moisture evaporating from your skin no oxidation problems as it is a suspension.Try using after moisturiser and on DRY skin the stinging etc is when it's mixed with another product containing H20 or the skin is still damp
Hi Michelle 😊, could you do a test of how oxidized vit c (ascorbic acid) work after their dark coloration?. I saw a brand Matteroffact says in their website that they have done tests and even if the serum changes of color, it's still effective. I hope you can see this 🎉
Hi, I've been watching your videos and I like them so much, finally a channel that gives skin care advice which is actually baked by research.
I would like to use alfa hydroxid acids, vitaminc c and some moisturizing sunscreen in my routine, could you provide advice on how to use them please?
Thanks!
Cant find Part ll... Help! Love this. Great info :)
Have you done a part 2 yet? I neeed it!
Great video! Very detailed and informative 👍
