Hey guys and welcome to todays video where we are talking bestselling vitamin c serums and how bestselling doesnt always mean best performing.. I would love to know what your go to vitamin c serum is so let me know below.. Love you all x
As of last Wednesday, I switched from Timeless to G&G. Timeless is good. It showed me what C can do for my skin. I always ordered direct from Timeless, and the serum arrived pale yellow in color. With careful use, I got 6 months before it went too brown to use. I always ended up throwing some away. A week ago I decided to add the G&G C to an order. Shipping took only 2 days, Hungary to the Upper Midwest, USA. That was impressive but even more so, the serum was absolutely colorless - not a trace of yellow. It should last longer for me. I also bought their mini bottle. I'm keeping my main supply boxed in the 'fridge, and only putting a little in the mini bottle in my bathroom. That will keep it fresh even longer. The thoughtfulness and customer service from G&G has won me over completely.
Yay I'm so so glad your trying and enjoying the geek and gorgeous.. your right the customer service is amazing and the product is so fresh it lasts for ages.. love xx
After my microneedling damage, I wanted the best of the best skincare and I bought into the hype and used the whole line from SkinCeuticals, ( always disliked the smell of their Vit C serum) Then I went from SkinCeuticals to Medik8, later on to Niod. And although these brands are all good, and I do still use some Niod products, since I found your channel years ago, I am now using many different brands which I ve never heard of before watching your channel, and honestly these give the same results as the bougie brands. G&G vit C is also my current to go to Vit C . Thanks Rob, you have saved me a lot of money with your recommendations.
Yay I'm so so so happy to have been able to help you discover these amazing brands.. thank you so much for sharing and I'm so glad they are working for you.. love xx
The Olay one here in australia is $100 from the supermarkets! Both Woolworths and Cole’s have 1/2 price specials regularly and I’ve seen the range on that a couple of times.
Timeless 20% Vitamin C isn’t available in the UK either, hasn’t been for a few years now same as the EU, the website shows sold out but it’s been like that for a couple of year now and when I contacted them they said to contact their US branch and tel them how much I miss it …lol …yeah Amazon have it through 3rd party and reviews showed oxidised and out of date. I know the US have a 10% and a 20% but not heard of 30%. I’d love to try the 10% because honestly the 20% was too strong for me and I couldn’t wear it everyday, which you need to really under your sunscreen
Very nice video. Thank you 🙏. A question though, how do you think we should store it to not let it oxidised? In refrigerator? Or in a cool dark place? Can you please guide?
FYI, my Olay VC serum came in a small yellow bottle with a strong fragrance and my entire face broke out in red hives. That being said, I have sensitive skin. Total waste of money ! Never again.
Skinceuticals was ‘corralled onto me by a dermatologist, cost a fortune and it went brown in a couple of weeks - It was sticky, stingy and awful. Didn’t try a vit c serum again until today (tried inkey list vit c serum) -it nearly burned my face off!! My face is now like a smacked arse under a thick layer of cicaplast balm. Think I’ll stick to Niod survival 0 (which is always ok) and the only other vit c I can use (Boots vit c brightening day cream spf 50). Thanks for your excellent videos xx
Damn that sucks. I was given some by a friend, it was the Silymarin C+F one and in the fridge it lasted over a year. I didn't realize it was so exspensive until I went to order some more and then I was like what the hell is in this diamond dust?!?
I had some fab results with the Timeless but as you said, it’s sooo hard to get hold of in the UK 😢 I’m now using the vit c 23% + Ferulic acid by Garden of Wisdom to tide me over until I can get my hands on it again. It’s very very similar and an absolute bargain at only a tenner!
Thanks! Any particular vitamin c serum you can recommend to use within matrixil / argiraline routine? I think some of them may reduce the effectiveness of the matrixil/argiraline combo. Much appreciated!
Hi from Caledonia Ontario! Skinceutical Ferulic is the only one that I can use. I’ve tried many others and had very allergic reactions and major burns! Here in Canada it’s close to $208 so I use it very sparingly. They must have something in it for my face and next to not react! I’ve tried the ordinary and La Roche posay as well and same thing.
Love my Timeless vitamin c 10% I got the 20% to start with and it was too strong their customer service is incredible!!! I am glowing to the Gods LOL!!! Thanks for all you do! I would like to try the Geek and Gorgeous one seems wonderful too! Maybe when I can go up in strength 💚🤍🖤💚🤍🖤💚🤍🖤
I am curious about your thoughts on Loreal clinical vitamin C serum. It's new here where I live and I compared its ingridient list with the one from la roche posay and I think it is quite similar for less than half the prize. Btw I bought the ordinary vit c + alpha arbutin on your advice and it is magical! Thank you
But you do know The Ordinary got bought by Esteé Lauder, right? So still lots of marketing money behind them. And of course Esteé Lauder as a company isn't cruelty-free. I generally go for alternatives.
I didn't see results with any of these... Not the experience ones nor the cheaper one from The Ordinary. What does work for me is Eucerin Vitamin c. Affordable and you have to pump the bottle to mix the two week supply so you're getting fresh vitamin c every time. Plus it has this easily absorbed hyaluronic acid. Dark spots are fading and skin is plumped up and glowy.
Thank you so much for yoir exellent videos. I use argireline-mtrixel serum (as you sugested), and I wonder if I can use also vitamin C in my morning routine?
Olay is SO expensive in my country. Which is funny because their marketing is all like “it works even better than the $400 luxury brand!” Ok, but is it better than the $15 brand? Lol
I have a question on how to layer vitamin c. I know it has a low ph so after you put it on use a toner or essence with correct ph lvl then apply water serums (the ordinary peptides) but what im confused about is vit c is oil based so how will you water serums penetrate the skin? Cant seem to find and answer on that
I've been using TO Vit C and Arbutin a few months now, but I don't know that it is working as well as when I first started it. It's almost like it has plateaued. Wondering if I need to switch.
Similar situation as you, TO wasn't powerful enough to truly tackle acne scars and old hyperpigmentation. I switched to the Timeless 20% and it's powerful!! I've used it for 3 weeks every morning first thing on dry skin and my mind is blown. Redness is way down, acne heals faster and doesn't leave a mark. I ordered it off their website instead of getting it at Target, since their newer bottles are glass and don't seem to have the leaking problem. I would order a bunch at once, but the shelf life is about 4 months so gotta use it fast 😅
The ascorbic acid is intense for sure! 😂 but the Timeless 20% works so well for my scars that I push through the smell and put moisturizer/sunscreen on quick. Bing bang boom smell is gone. However, was your serum clear? It may smell differently if it's oxidized and darker in color
you are obliged to disclose when you are sponsored and I am not and have never been sponsored by the ordinary hence why there was no disclosure.. you dont need to say when you are not sponsored thats just a given unless stated otherwise.. sending love
Good to know@@MadAboutSkin, lots of YTers don't disclose even tho their supposed to....or at least that's what I've heard. I'm a newbie to the channel.

I love my geek and gorgeous vitamin c thanks to you for introducing me to my new favorite brand 🎉❤❤❤ and so affordable which is a must for me
Very nice video. Thank you 🙏. A question though, how do you think we should store it to not let it oxidised? In refrigerator? Or in a cool dark place? Can you please guide?
I'm using Olay Vit C serum & only paid about £11. I like it as it's affordable & absorbs well & isn't sticky
FYI, my Olay VC serum came in a small yellow bottle with a strong fragrance and my entire face broke out in red hives. That being said, I have sensitive skin. Total waste of money ! Never again.

I didn't realize how well the G&G C-Glow works when you apply it with their Stress Less. It made a big difference, no tingling or pinkness now.
😍😍 yay I'm so so glad the two are working so well for you.. they are my go to for sure.. love xx
Where can I get this G&G C glow pls
I had some fab results with the Timeless but as you said, it’s sooo hard to get hold of in the UK 😢 I’m now using the vit c 23% + Ferulic acid by Garden of Wisdom to tide me over until I can get my hands on it again. It’s very very similar and an absolute bargain at only a tenner!
Ordered the 10% Timeless vit c last week should be here soon. Trying to start vit c slow per all your advice 😘
Hope it works well for you Hun.. keep us posted on your thoughts.. love xx
Can you talk about the Maelove glow maker vitamin c? Not sure if you have before but would love know your thoughts!
Sending love from California! 😊
Great video! Have you tried Vichy Liftactive Vit C serum? I'd like your opinion on this.
Thanks! Any particular vitamin c serum you can recommend to use within matrixil / argiraline routine? I think some of them may reduce the effectiveness of the matrixil/argiraline combo. Much appreciated!

Try eminence organics potent c E felic acid
Same! The only one I have seen results and I’ve wasted so much money trying others that did nothing.
My face blew up on the Olay VC serum!

Cerave Vitamin C what is your take on it ?
Can you do a video on your favourite medik8 products? ❤
Hi Hun.. I have a shorts video on it but I plan to do a full length video very soon :) sending love x
Thank you so much for yoir exellent videos.
I use argireline-mtrixel serum (as you sugested), and I wonder if I can use also vitamin C in my morning routine?
Hi Hun.. yes you can use them together no problem at all.. sending you lots of love xx

You can buy olay for 19 £ though with a Tesco club card
Have you changed your mind about the VEGREEN Intensive Vitamin C 20%?
PS Do you happen to know how much Centella Asiatica is in the product?
No not at all I love it but I have run out and it's been so popular they are out of stock .. xx
I've been using TO Vit C and Arbutin a few months now, but I don't know that it is working as well as when I first started it. It's almost like it has plateaued. Wondering if I need to switch.
Hi hun, it might be the case that you have to swap to something a little stronger to continue seeing the increase in results... thanks for sharing..

@@3llzebub hmm, thank you for mentioning your experience. I will look into it. I want to try a different vit. C next after I finish my bottle of TO.
Great video Rob, please could we have a link to the timeless vitamin C - I can’t find a genuine website that sells it ❤️
Have you tried Cocokind? If so thoughts pls
I havent but they are on the list of brands I want to try for sure.. love x
I use Timeless for ages …
how many botox per year is ideal?
I would speck to the person administering it as it will be different for each person.. I think most go for every 6 months but I'm not totally sure x
Does anybody knows the brand nuramax I want to try it
I don't know them but I will check them out x
Thanks 🌷!
I can add that the Timeless vitamin C serum smells AWFUL!!!! I couldn´t put that thing on my face!! Why does it smell so bad??????????!!!!!!!!!
The ascorbic acid is intense for sure! 😂 but the Timeless 20% works so well for my scars that I push through the smell and put moisturizer/sunscreen on quick. Bing bang boom smell is gone.
However, was your serum clear? It may smell differently if it's oxidized and darker in color
Haha I don't actually mind the smell but I know your not alone and many people hate it.. xx
🌸
Love xx
❤❤❤
Olay has gotten quite pricey. I don’t think they are anything special.
I totally agree hun the pricing is way out of line with the quality x
This dude is always going on about The Ordinary. Is he sponsored by this company? He should say very clearly if he is or is not, sponsored.
you are obliged to disclose when you are sponsored and I am not and have never been sponsored by the ordinary hence why there was no disclosure.. you dont need to say when you are not sponsored thats just a given unless stated otherwise.. sending love
Good to know@@MadAboutSkin, lots of YTers don't disclose even tho their supposed to....or at least that's what I've heard. I'm a newbie to the channel.
