Hi! I’m currently using the Cerave and it hasn’t bothered my rosacea one bit. I like the texture and the way it’s making my skin look and feel. I also started using the newest Vanicream lotion and must say, I’m loving it. Keeping my skincare routine simple and my skin is thanking me for it.

I’ve used the Vanicream three times a week for nearly a year with no problems. I have very dry, extremely sensitive, older skin. I purchased, but have yet to try, the CeraVe, because of all the positive data regarding l-ascorbic acid. If I tolerate it well, I plan to try alternating them during the week, thereby getting C every day.

I’ve never understood why, but my skin has something against using the same products daily. The derms I’ve consulted don’t get it either, but they have verified that it’s true. It makes my life more complicated, but the effort is worthwhile to avoid the feeling of burning skin.

Skincare routine for glowing, clear skin:
- Start with a glass of water on an empty stomach.
- Cleanse face with besan powder and rose water, then pat dry.
- Use liiittleextra rice berry vitamin c face serum and apply aloe vera gel as moisturizer.
- At night, apply milk and turmeric mix on face, then wash off and use toner and aloe vera gel.
- Have greens, fruits, nuts, seeds, and exercise 4–5 times a week or practice yoga.

Vanicream is cruelty-free which is a criteria for me. I use several Vanicream products, including their vitamin C, and I am glad discovered this reliable brand.

Almost finished with my first tube of the cerave. I’m tolerating it very well, no irritation. Planning to repurchase 👍🏻

[Minnie_Mandie]

I just with CereVe would put theirs in a pump bottle like their retinol serums. Seems like a no-brainer.

Great video! I have very oily acne prone and sensitive aging skin. I use tret 0.025% four nights a week. I'm able to tolerate a salicylic acid face wash once or twice a week. I cannot use any form of a sportic acid. My skin has been fine with the vana cream vitamin C. I've only been using it for a few weeks so not sure of results, but I use it like a moisturizer in the morning. It doesn't make me more oily

Thank you Doctor, I really needed some vit c product recommendations for sensitive skin.

[victoriagarcia]

I like the Vanicream vitamin C because it doesn’t irritate my skin since I’m using retinol. Other vitamin c’s have too many other ingredients like acids for exfoliation.

Love the Cerave, I keep it in the fridge and no issues with oxidation. I tried the L'Oreal 10% Vitamin C and did not like the consistency at all.

[Tereselynn]

Thank-you Dr.Liu😊😊! And now I'm sorry that I bought the La Roche Posay vitamin C10 serum close to like 50 dollars at Target! Had it for a few weeks & it's already oxidizing. I am going to go & buy the Vanicream vitamin C serum today. Am 65 & am concerned to reduce my wrinkles... I also have 2 Juice Beauty moisturizers - the anti age stem cellular one & the green apple one & I don't feel these moisturizers are enough to minimize my wrinkles! Am getting the Vanicream

[kelleybjorksved]

Thanks for a great video. I am going to go for the Vanicream. Can’t wait to try it.

Thank you, I'm in Australia and can't easily get Vanicream. So I will def be trying Cerave.

[faythewu]

Thank you so much for making this video! I've been trying to make the skinceuticles work for me for years since people say it's less likely to cause irritation than other l'ascorbic acid products and supposed to be the most effective, but it has always caused so much irritation for me even when using a few times a week. I've found it's more irritating than tretinoin. High hopes for this CeraVe one will be both effective and less irritating!

Vitamin C serums are very best for skin!

[brittanymiller]

I actually just purchased the Vamicream Vitamin C, i have rosacea and I read this was the best form of vitamin c for that skin condition. I also purchased the Paula's Choice super antioxidant serum which has THD vitamin C in it, is this enough for vitamin C serum that is kind of formulated with antioxidants or do I need to have a separate vitamin C serum to get the benefits. I'm currently using the dermatica compounding pharmacy for my rosacea which consists of 15% azelic acid, metronidazole and ivermectin. I have broken capillaries - so I am not sure why brimodine was not included ? Watching your rosacea videos have helped me tremendously. I developed rosacea about 6 months ago after having multiple heart attacks. Preciously other than some fine lines and wrinkles that come in the late 30s my skin was flawless, so I spend so so much money trying to treat it on my own. This probably goes with one of your other videos but I really like the peach slices form of azelic acid 10%, i use that every other day with the dermatica 20% azelic acid in the AM because it was irritating my skin barrier and I had some significant purging. I really love Procure Rosacare moisturizer for the mornings it has licorice root and niacinamide in it and a green tint and so affordable, it really calms my skin. This vitamin c journey is just extra tricky because I've not tolerated any vitamin c in the past, that's why I thought sandwhiching it into an antioxidant Serum would provide protection- but will it provide benefits of vitamin c ?

I have gotten away from Vitamin C serums after using Skinceuticals for years. It became so expensive and I started to wonder how much I was benefitting. I use Tazarotene 0.1% almost nightly and have tried to keep my routine very simple but maybe I should try one of these.

[gorgeousgoddess]

Should we apply the Vanicream gradually or suitable daily? First time adding vitamin C in my routine. Thank you

[pattycarljackson]

I like create but I do notice it oxidizes very quickly which just leads me to believe its not getting into the skin and doing anything so I don't think its worth It and as for the vanicream I like it because it adds more hydration to the skin and ceramides so if the vitamin c doesn't do anything i am at least getting extra hydration and ceramides.

My dry sensitive skin loves Vanicream ☺
