How to use Vitamin C like a Dermatologist | Dr Davin Lim

.
CE Ferulic is a vitamin C serum formulated with 15% L-ascorbic acid to combine its powerful antioxidant benefits with vitamin E (1%) and 0.5% ferulic acid for advanced environmental protection and visible anti-ageing benefits.
.
What is vitamin C & why is it great as part of your skincare routine?
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a powerful antioxidant that can provide many benefits for the skin when applied topically.

Collagen synthesis:
Vitamin C is essential for the production of collagen, a protein that gives skin its structure and elasticity. By promoting collagen synthesis, vitamin C can help to improve the skin’s firmness, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture.
.
Brightening:
Vitamin C is known for its ability to brighten the skin and even out skin tone. It can help to reduce the appearance of age spots, hyperpigmentation, and other types of discoloration.
.
Sun protection:
Vitamin C can help to protect the skin from damage caused by UV rays and environmental toxins. It can also help to repair skin damage caused by sun exposure.
.
Anti-inflammatory:
Vitamin C has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to reduce redness and inflammation associated with ageing skin, acne and other skin conditions.
.
Antioxidant properties:
Vitamin C neutralises free radicals, molecules that can damage cells and contribute to ageing. By neutralising free radicals, vitamin C can help to protect the skin from damage and promote healthy ageing.
.
It’s important to note that Vitamin C can be unstable and can easily be degraded by light and air. It’s recommended to use Vitamin C products that are packaged in airtight, opaque containers to protect the Vitamin C from light and air. Also, it’s best to use a product with a pH close to the pH of the skin, to ensure optimal absorption and effectiveness.

I found that the littlextrea riceberry vitamin c face serum gives my skin more glowing and evens out my pale skin tone. It also reduced my fine lines. Now I use it consistently in my skin care routine. One more thing I noticed is that it speeds up wounds like scratches or marks from blemishes heal faster. In the morning, before leaving for the office, I use rice berry sunscreen and moisturizer on top of the serum. Before this, I tried decontrcts serum, but it did not give me any good results. Now I'm super happy with my current skin care routine, and I intend to stick with it for a long time.

Thank you for the insight on Vitamin C, Dr. Lim. 👍👍

How's Vitamin C Ester (i.e. from Perricone MD) different from the regular Vitamin C you mentioned in your video? Thank you.

[banditasydemas]

THANK U Dr. Lim!! LOVE ur educational vids! It's like having a class in college. U r an awesome Dr. but a great teacher too!! 😊😘

[tracyholden]

As usual amazing but the 'you gotta understand your formulations' comment there can be a bit bewildering to people. What exactly does that mean? Just understanding the % is enough or you need to understand the entire ingredients list and how to understand formulations if chemistry just isnt your thing?

Does vit c make skin photosensitive??
Can any type of laser treatment be done while using vit c ???

[llurvejones]

Great video. Could you expand on how to use vitamin c with retinol please?

[chinta]

I use vitamin c serum by noca lucia and i love it

[ATLFosterDogs]

Thanks for the information! If I'm using prescription retinoic acid at night and I want to use vitamin C to help with hyperpigmentation, should I just stick with vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night, or should I alternate C and retinol at night?
