Do you pick one type of vitamin C or do you pick L absorbic and one of THD?

I’ve used drunk elephant and it’s been fine on my skin but I’ve heard skin ceuticals is great… I just have sensitive and combo skin so a little nervous to try

[Joannabanana]

Does Numbuzin #5 have enough Vit C for it to be the antioxidant in your am routine? It isn’t in the top ingredients. I love it and use it every day!

[azul]

Hi, I am actually looking to change my vitamin C. Do you recommend changing skin line products or putting them on rotation so they can work better?

[jhvoorhies]

Not sure if you noticed, but several of the products have the wrong info on screen during. Might be worth an edit. Otherwise, great video!
