I absolutely appreciate that you're also along on your viewers skin journey yourself, to back up your recommendations, Doc! Thank you.
Thank you so much!🙏🤙
Enjoyed your video.. you have a vitamin C graveyard!
I currently use the Neutrogena 20% vitamin C ampoules. On days when I feel a little itchy, I switch to the Cerave for a day or two. I have seen very good results from this. I keep my ampoules and tubes in the refrigerator. This helps to cut down on waste a bit and skincare(even with drugstore), the prices have become tougher to fit into my budget…
Also, be sure to check the expiration dates! Recently I found products on the shelves that expired in 2019! I took them to the manager who acted horrified. Three days later when I returned, the items were back on the shelf! Check so you get your full potency.
Thank you so much for all your advice and recommendations. I'm on a journey to take care of my skin more. Very helpful. 🙂👍
great video as always!
quick question, what are your thoughts on The Ordinary's 8% Ascribed Acid plus 2% Alpha Arbutin? I've heard it's excellent for getting rid of hyperpigmentation.
Thank you for all the info Dr. Sugai. Question I plan on using a similar AM/PM skin care routine you mentioned later in this video. Do you recommend I stick to a single brand for cleanser, vitamin c, moisturizer and sunscreen in the AM? I plan on using the Cerave vitamin c. Thank you
Thank you Dr. for all of the recommendations and information..much appreciated😀
You are a doctor who I trust, who is here to really help people. I love your honesty and you share your own skincare journey. I enjoy your sense of humour also. I wanted to ask if you have a video on the treatment for papules? I have blackheads and papules. I just started using Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 so help with blackheads. I also have Rosacea. Also have you done a video that shows how and when to use Vit C, Rentinol, moisturizers. I don't know what goes on first or with something else. Thank you so much for you taking the time to post your videos.
Thankyou for your advice as always it's much appreciated 🙏❤ I would be really interested to see you do a video on temperature and how it affects retinol, vit c, glycolic acid and hyaluronic acid. I live in New Zealand and unlike the northern hemisphere we dont have central heating/cooling in many homes. We generally cook in summer and freeze in winter. My home rarely drops below the mid 20s (hard to sleep) Also, some of the products you say are easily accessible aren't in this part of the world(fyi) I worry that my skincare products are being compromised by summer heat. There doesn't seem to be any advice on product packaging regarding storage in hot weather and how heat and refrigeration can affect the efficacy of the products. Would love some feedback as my skin is now reacting to some products and I wonder if heat has something to do with it. Would love to hear your thoughts and advice on this issue. Many thanks, I love your videos 🤗
Happy New Year 🎊🎈
Thank you Dr Sugai … your commentaries are always helpful! 👍🏼
Also it’s good to hear you mention Obagi as I just incorporated it into my morning routine, 10%. I wanted to start slow in strength. So far so good. I plan to increase to 15% then 20%.
Obagi is lite and absorbs nicely. I do store it in a cool and dark location.
Thank you and stay warm … Seattle and surrounding areas received a lot of snow.
Cheers 🥂
Happy new year and thank you- doing okay with the snow! Thank you for watching and glad that obagi is working well for you!
I absolutely LOVE Roc Multi Correxion serum capsules. They're the blue ones with hyalurnic acid. I swear by them.
Hi Doc do you want have any thoughts on the vitamin C 30% in silicones from the ordinary? Is formulating in silicone as the carrier a good idea or will it prevent it from actually penetrating the skin? The formula feels like a makeup primer
Watched this to make sure I was using a good vitamin c serum, boom, cerave, first one up. Thank you, got straight to my question and saved me 10 minutes :)
Now I'm perusing all your videos as I found you only recently..... I LOVE Skinceuticals... yet, not the price point.... I used to have access Skin Medica a hundred years ago free in our office ........ thank you Dr. Fitzpatrick RIP. Now, at almost 63 years of age I am wanting to explore things that are not as pricey. I love the Geek and Gorgeous Vit. C from Hungary... nice price point and can easily go two and a half months with extremely little to no color change. Love all your videos!
Concise & clear, thank yooou!
Kiehl’s Line Reducing Concentrate is amazing.
I swear by it, speaking from personal experience.
I’m only 20 but I take care of my skin.
Can’t recommend highly enough.
Dr Sugai, thanks for this video.
Could you also review The Ordinary's VC? Thanks.
Thanks so much for comparing the Vit C products.
I was using Regimen Lab’s Vitamin X, and now I’m trying Timeless 10%. I really enjoyed the one by Regimen Lab.
I love how it’s 15% plus has a pH of 3, and contains a lot of other antioxidants
Very helpful Dr., thanks for the reminders and for recommending Mae Love, using SkinCeuticals vit c at the moment. Which other Mae Love products would you recommend? For anti-aging very sensitive skin. Thanks again look forward for your next video.
Thank you Dr. Sugai for the video! I was wondering what will be the right period of time to use hydroquinone and then take a pause. My dermatologist in México suggested I should use it during 6 months, but after watching your video I’m a little concerned that it could be too long. Thank you!
I was using Acure vitamin c- noticed it doesn’t have the ingredients I was looking for. Thanks for the recommendations bro 👍
Hi Dr. Sugai, I'm a first time viewer to your channel. Can you please tell me which are your TOP 3 vitamin c's and which one is your current favorite? Also, can you please tell me if it's safe to combine lactic acid 10% from the ordinary and tretinoin together? Thank you so very much!
Hey doc! I highly recommend doing the classic hand behind the product RUclipsr move for the camera to focus on the product when showing. Just a rec!
Hello Doc and everyone, as always you gave us great information about these products. I will be trying these and see what works on my skin (59 years old matured skin 😆). Anyways, most of them that you recommend in the past are working for me……sometimes I am too tired to do it everyday due of caring my mother in law with dementia but it’s all good (8 years plus but this year is getting worse). Doctors already was surprised how she last this long, told him “ love” is the answer,
مرحبا كيف تهتمي ببشرتك
I Agree Love is definitely the answer❤
Hi Dr. Sugai, what’s the difference between the Vichy LiftActive serums, tge ampoules and 15% serum?
My favorite Vitamin C serum was ( I say was for a reason!!) Sweet Chef Ginger & Vitamin C. Also, tried Sweet Chefs Celery, Kale & Beets, but not the same by a long shot! Loved it, but for some reason has been discontinued 🥺. I’m now in search for a comparable one ~ now trying out one of Burt’s Bees face serums, but so far not seeing the same effect I got with Sweet Chef.
Ulta has its 21 days of beauty. The peach & lily vitamin c looks good. 50 % today.
I have had great skin improvement using the Neutrogena purple retinol capsules. Would love to know what you think of the orange Neutrogena Vit. C Serum capsules? Thanks for any thoughts.
Hi Dr Sugai, thanks very much for all the great videos. I was wondering if you could share some thoughts on Some By Mi Galactomyces Pure Vitamin C Glow Serum please ?
You are the best Dermatologist in youtube
Timeless is also good. Vit C, ferulic acid and Vit E and it comes in an airless pump
Thanks for the good info. It would help a lot if you could attach a list of the products you review in order of talking about them.
Great video!! Very informative!
What do you think about Timeless Vit C??
Thanks in advance.
Thank you for this advice on Vit. C.
To understand the true quality of people, you must look into their minds, and examine their pursuits and aversions
Very helpful doctor. Thank you.
Dr. Sugai, what vitamin C serum do you use? Your before and after pic featuring the dark spots is amazing!
Hi Dr. Sugai, what are you thoughts on the Neostrata Vitamin C Concentrate capsules?
Hi Doc, stumble onto your video, I am from Singapore and I really enjoy the information provided, especially the tone of voice - very calming and well moderated cos that is important to keep me watching till the very end, you provided all the vital points and yet keeping it SS - short and sexy. Have a great week! Peace!
THANK YOU!
Hi Dr. you’ve inspired me. However, I’d like to ask what would be the best vitamin c serum for someone who has eczema on the face? Lookin to see how to help the skin get healthier from all the damages. Thanks. Hope to hear from you.
I thank you for all the information and for presenting your content in, more or less, 15 minutes. It is surely Not boring with TMI. Thanks again!
very helpful, thank you ❤
Thanks, Doctor Sugai. I use a Vitamin C cleanser too. Is this effective?
Paula's choice Vitamin C is great
I never keep my skin care in the sun or heat. Same with my makeup 💄 great video thank you 🙏
I will look into the Naturiium Vitamin C Complex.
Dr. Sugai what are your thought on StriVectin super-c retinol..I got it from Costco. I loved the review you did on Oly vs CeraVe could you do a review?
Yes, I use Vit.C morning (kept in frig) always & sunscreen. Retinol & moisturiser evening, v. simple.
Of course, cleans first!
Hi, I am a big fan of your channel, doc! I find that your contents are always very informative.
Want to ask, what do you think of Timeless Skin Care Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid?
I like it since it's a pump bottle instead of a dropper, I felt it'll more stable that way.
Will you do a review on it?
Thanks 😊
Hi, in this video you recommend cleanse, serum, moisturizer then sunscreen..
In another video you reviewed the Olay Regenerist vitamin c moisturizer.. could I use just that versus the serum AND the moisturizer?
Thank you so much 😊
Hey Dr. Sugai! New subbie 😊 I'm curious to know your thoughts on Farmacy's vitamin c serum. I've been using for 6 months every morning and have had great results in shrinking pores and my overall skin texture. Thanks in advance!
Thank you!
I love the green tea pineapple sparkling water from Trader Joe’s.
Hi, thanks for your videos! I have a question: Do you prefer American vitamin c skincare products to Korean or Japanese products? That would be a video I’d love to watch!
I've been using CeraVe serum for 8 months now and actually I noticed that now that it's winter it haven't turned dark so now I know why ! (I place it in my drawer too) thanks for that advice Dr.
Thanks for sharing your experience!🙏🏼🤙
I've been using the Cerave C for a while also. Do you see improvement in your skin? Thanks 😊
Hello Dr. Sugar - What are your thoughts on StriVectin SuperC Retinol Vitamin Serum Multi Action Serum? Thanks 😊
Great video thank you !
I do have a question though, what do you think of the Mario Badescu Vitamin C serum, it is said that is skin brightening but I do not want to loose the pigmentation of my skin, will I ?
Hi Dr! What's a good moisturizer to pair with vitamin C serum?
Please do a video on the order of applying products for am and pm
Can you pls review advanced clinicals vitamin c cream and serum?
Thank you very much Dr. Sugai! Could you please let me know if i can use vitamin c when i have ances on my face? 🙏
I've used Vichy's vitamin C serum and noticed that it didn't absorb very well in my skin. When I washed my face at the end of the day, I noticed that the serum would come off on my wash cloth. If I sweat and wiped my brow, it would come off at that point too. Since it's so dark it was easy to see the serum on a wash cloth. So, I'm looking for other options...thanks for your video!
I am using Skin Deva vit C and its great fast absorbing and hydrating
Hi Dr. Sugai, would you please also review the vitamin c capsule by Neutrogena?
Thank you Doctor, I just find your channel 🇺🇸
Hello Dr Sugai what do you think about Paula's choice vitamin C? And her other skincare in general??
I absolutely love your channel
Thank you so much and happy new year!
Bliss also makes a Vit C serum & that’s sold at Walmart.
Question please, which of the Roche Posay is the Vit C for sensitive skin please. Thank you. I was confused.
Hi doctor I wish you well. Watching form Egypt 🇪🇬 I like your videos it contains a lot of information that helps a lot of people to keep their skin healthy and glowing. I wish you talk more about normal and dry skin.
Thank you so much for watching and for the feedback! Happy new year 🤙🙏🏼
Happy new year 🎉
Happy New Year, Dr. Sugai !! I'm a brand new subscriber. Thank you for reviewing over-the-counter skincare products! Have you ever heard of InstaNatural? I believe they have a vitamin C line. I'm using Physicians Formula's Skin Booster Vitamin Shot Brightening Serum (vitamin C) & enjoy it very much! Can you please do a review on their skincare?
The best vitamin c it’s a powder form and using everyday with thermal water
Thank you so much for this video. Very informative. What do you think of the Obage vit c ....
Love it! Thank you for watching 🙏🏼🤙
Thank you! I placed my la roche vitamin c serum to the fridge, I hope that's ok.
Hi. I love the Skinceuticals! Been using it for years! It’s pricey. But, I love the glow it along with my retinol and sunscreen gives my skin. Was wondering if you think vit c at this percent is ok around the eyes? Do I need a separate serum around my eyes ? Thank you!
what retinol do you use ?
@@mamibretzel I’m using Sknimedica. 0.5 . It’s strong for me. So , I have to use it only every other or sometime every 2 nights .
Last question, what do you think of naturium retinol moisturizer, I like it..thx.
Could you please let me know what are your thoughts on the Artistry Vitamin C+HA3 Daily Serum. Thank you
I know you reviewed the olay vitamin c cream, do you recommend the serum they have as well?
I always enjoy watching your video , wish you hit 500k subscribers soon!
That means so much! Thank you so much! 🙏🙏🙏
Happy New Year Dr. Sugai! Vitamin C is a staple in my routines. I honestly would love to try the Skinceuticals but then I see the price and skip it. Maybe if it ever goes on a good sale which I know will never happen. Anyway, have you ever tried the Vitamin X from Regimen Lab? I've been using it for the past 2 months and would love to hear your thoughts sometime in 2022. Wishing you a healthier and safer 2022!
Is the SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF Serum with the milk thistle silymarin really worth it for making oily skin less oily that is very prone to breakouts? I've heard from other derms on youtube that silymarin can help you become less oily and also help that oil from oxidizing and causing acne. I'm on tretinoin at night and also benzoyl peroxide cleanser in the AM as my actives.
Thank you from North Shore of Hawaii!
Review TruSkin Vitamin C serum. Please. Other dermatologist reviews claim it’s almost worthless. I gotta know! Thanks!
Love this video...and all the others on your channel. When using a vitamin C serum do you put it all over your face or just on the dark spot areas?
Thank you for your help
Aloha from Kauai🤙🏼Mahalo for your educational videos💯Aloha Ke Akua🙏🏼
Mahalo nui loa, my friend! Thank you for the ❤️ from Kauai! Can’t wait to visit home soon 🙏🏼🤙 🌺
Thar cerave vitamin C is the one I use since another dermatologist talk about it a year ago. Is been good for my skin.
Great to hear 😁🤙🤙🙌
I love the LRP serum but I can’t seem to use it fast enough for it to not turn on me. Thinking about keeping it in the box in the fridge next time
What would you recommend the best out of all?
What would you recommend for acne scarring?
The roc capsules say to use at night, but I thought vitamin c was more beneficial used during the day. Any opinions on this? I don’t think my skin could handle twice a day usage.
what about the ordinary's vitamin c with ha spheres. i've had it for a while and it's not yellowing. it's been like a year. i've tried it again and still feels like it did before. it kind of stings or Itches like it did when it was new
Doc, what do you think of the Olay Vitamin C serum?
Any opinions on the Olay Vitamin C plus Peptide?
have you tried the Rohto Mentholatum Melano CC Vitamin C Essence or facetheory regena 20 or 30 vitamin c serum yet? the rohto one takes forever to oxidize because of the packaging and opening, and it’s pretty affordable. you don’t need to put it in your fridge either. the opening only lets out a drop at a time, so it doesn’t let in as much air as other products.
No one ever mentions this one. I’d love to know their opinion as well.
Hi Doc. What retinoid are you using? Thanks.
Doctor what do you think about skin&lab vitamin C serum?
Hi Dr. Sugai. What do you think about the Timeless L-ascorbic acid vitamin C which is really popular because of the price point and it has Vit E and Ferulic Acid in it too? They have a 10% and a 20%. And if you put it in the frig it lasts forever - nice and clear. And Happy, Happy New Years to you and your family!
Happy New Year to you and your family! I will definitely need to try that one out as it is insanely popular right now. Thank you for the suggestion!
The Timeless Vit C is a good product, but I will not purchase again because the packaging leaks horribly. Lots of product wasted and it’s messy. I fell in love with the Maelove Glowmaker. It has the same ingredients as the Timeless, but comes in a UV protected glass dropper bottle. I keep mine in the fridge!
I love the timeless one for me it's the best, most affordable vitamin C at 20% Ascorbic acid. I tend to see better results with vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) at 15% and above. I use it for PIH and melasma. I have tried over 10 brands of vitamin C. It is probably one of the best, but it is no longer available in the EU. It's a shame as I am yet to find a good replacement for ascorbic acid. I have not had the same success with derivatives like ascorbic acid, the two derivatives I like are sodium ascorbyl phosphate and ascorbyl glucoside, but to me not as effective as 20% ascorbic acid. I find both Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate and 3-0 ethyl ascorbic acid comedogenic.
It’s one of the best vitamin C serums out there. Watch Angie with hot and flashy and she does the litmus paper test that proves that this is one of the best. The only ones that have passed the test are timeless, SkinCeuticals, MaeLove
@@carolbowen4349 have you purchased it since they reformulated it into the airtight container? I’ve had mine for four months and I have had no problems with this with the new yellow container.
Hello doctor im big fan of your Chanel my arms are way darker than my body due to years of exposure. Does vitamin C based helps fixing it? Thank you
Hello Dr. Sugai, is vitamin c ok on acne prone skin?
Thank you
