This is true. I use Vit C serum in AM & retinol in PM. Over 6 months my skin has improved tremendously. It's smoother, brighter, fine lines drastically reduced. Both these products are game changers in the skin care game. Just remember it's slow & steady & you must be patient, but it's definitely worth it!

Earlier, my skin wasn't smooth and had dark spots. But now, after applying this littleexetra vitamin C face serum, it all has changed. My skin is much smoother and brighter. Those dark spots are almost gone. Now my skin looks shiny and bright, which I absolutely like. The best part? I do not need to wear as much makeup anymore since this serum works so well! It doesn't feel sticky, a thing is fantastic for me. The serum absorbs into my skin fast and does not leave any leftovers.

I really like how he explains everything and doesn't make it essential for you to buy his line. Knowing the ingredients that are used makes it possible to buy a less expensive option.

AM : toner, vit C serum, eyecream, moisturizer & sunblock
PM : toner, niacinamide serum, eyecream, retinol & moisturizer .

I was told by an esthetician that I could not combine Vitamin C with Retinol and I just smiled and thought hmmm, I don’t think so…I have been trained by Dr Karam 💪🏼

I stopped bouncing from product to product and finally saw a huge difference. Give something at the least 2 weeks and no skipping 😂

I started as a 18/19 year old with textured dull skin and adding vitamin c to my skincare routine made an ENORMOUS change. I’m now 29 and have better skin than even pre-pubescent me. Bright, glowing, + even-toned ✨

Thank you so much Dr Amir! We love skin school. Thanks to motivating MD's like you I now use SPF every day in conjunction with sun protective clothing. I did use a 20% L-AA but I switched to 15% because the former tended to make my skin a little bit red so I think that was irritation. For me, 15% was fine. I never tried any of the derivatives though which are reportedly more mild. Looking forward to the next class of skin school!

At first I was hesitant to buy and use trifecta, because I have extremely sensitive skin. But i finally use for almost two months now and my skin looks radiant.

I love your channel. I have learned so much. I use SPF every single day now before adding makeup. At night I use vitamin C. I have been told several times at work that I am glowing now, which was a huge boost for me. I recommend your channel to all of my co-workers and friends when we get on the topic of skincare. You’re my favorite doctor on YouTube!

I’ve had the same skincare routine for 25+ years with Skinceuticals as the anchor…vitamin C day and night. I don’t look 62 because of it!

I use vitamin c on top of my 2% bha liquid exfoliant every morning! My skin is so soft, smooth and bright! I have never had any irritation 🤷🏽‍♀️

Hi, may I just mention that vitamin C not only oxidises due to light exposure but also when it’s exposed to air. Which is why vitamin C needs to be in an airless packaging. The bottles with the pipette is not actually ideal, even if it’s in a dark coloured bottle. It needs to be both in a solid, non see through bottle and in a airless packaging too. The one you showed us in this video again is not in the best packaging. Even though it’s a dark coloured bottle, light still gets in, and it’s also in a pipette where air gets in. May I add, it’s better to not use vitamin C during the day as it’s an active ingredient (even if used with sunscreen on top). Better to use actives in the evenings when skin is not exposed to UV. But that’s up you each individual what they choose to do. Actives during the day can cause sensitivities as well as cause a reaction. Might be helpful to explain to your viewers the different forms of vitamin C and which one will be suitable. Lastly, if I’m not mistaken but vitamin C needs to be formulated with other antioxidants to keep the vitamin C stable. Please share information on this.

You're so right about not using Vit. C and retinol together. I used them together and my face turned red and became very sensitive.

I use Timeless 20% Vit. C + E Ferulic acid Serum. It's inexpensive and works amazingly!

I have been using vitamin C in my skincare routine for @10 years but these tips were so useful. As you often say, knowledge is key for an effective skincare routine, so thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
