Dr. Dray is not even reading from a script, she sure knows her field inside and out. Really appreciate the scientific depth of her knowledge!!

After cleansing my face in the morning, I use litelextra rice berry Vitamin C face serum. My feedback after using it for three months:
1. Not greasy
2. watery consistency
3. blends easily
4. excellent quality
5. saw glowing results within a month of use
Definitely recommended.
Also, I do apply retinol in the evening.

PSA for everyone with atopic skin: criminally underrated niacinamide product that I will never stop using (I have rosacea) is Bioderma Atoderm Gel Creme. Best gel creme on the market. Super gentle, super hydrating and is amazing under sunscreen. Also, the bottle is huge.

I am team Vitamin C in the morning and Niacinamide at night

[leslychavez]

Niacinamide has helped me overall with small wrinkles but I will say Vitamin C definitely brightens my skin a bit more!
So I guess both being used is beneficial

Wow! A biology and chemistry lesson. Terrific information, Dr. Dray.

[madameovary]

I'm team both! Prefer to hedge my bets by using Vitamin C in the am and niacinamide in the pm

[kelseybrennan]

You're literally a national and global treasure <3

Great information! I have repeatedly tried Vit C in a variety of formulations and my skin just didn't like them, but I kept on trying because I thought it was so important for my skin! I have been using Ceravie PM moisturizer for years without issue, without realizing that niacinamide was providing some of the same benefits. Yay!

I've found niacinamide has improved the texture of my skin. Vitamin C has mostly improved my skin firmness and not much effect on dark spots. Thank you so much for mentioning vitamin C and skin shedding! I have that issue.

I feel like I'm in school again and I love it. You are such an amazing teacher. I love learning about the skin. And all that you have to offer and then applying what I need. Thank you so much for taking the time. You're just beautiful and adorable and I. Enjoy watching you pretty much almost every day when I can

I find the effects of niacinamide to be immediate. I love the way my skin looks and feels with niacinamide.

I'm team both. I use walgreen's version/dupe of cerave vitamin C serum in the morning. I then use the real deal cerave AM moisturizer with SPF. I have tried the store brand dupes of this and with my older skin I like the thickness of the cerave one over the store brands. At night I use either the actual cerave (purple label jar) night moisturizer or the walgreens version. Both are great to help buffer my tretinoin. It was my struggles with using tretinoin that had me find this channel. I have shared your videos on KP with my sister and she has reported great results with the drug store products that you recommend. So thank you again!!!

I enjoy using both. Niacinamide at night and vitamin c in the morning. After trying several vitamin v products I finally found one that I love from Geek and Gorgeous. It is super affordable being less than one third what I had been paying for Vit c. Also they make a new batch every week so when yours reaches you it is only two to three weeks old so it stays fresh much longer than other brands. I also love the results that it’s giving me.

Great information and Im very happy you do not "dumb it down" too much for us, your loving viewers 😊 Im taking notes.

[watchingthewaves]

Personally I use both vitamin C (Skinceuticals) in the am and CerVa PM at night love em both.

[brigitte]

Niacinamide was the one product apart from tretinoin that I can see a change in my skin.
