I always appreciate hearing your take on products and appreciate the level (and quality) of evidence you look for before recommending a product. I was confused by some of you concerns re: the ordinary’s ascorbic acid products, particularly your concern that they don’t list the ph. All their ascorbic acid formulations are waterless. I thought ph only applied to formulations with water? It’s been decades since I was in a chemistry class so I may be misunderstanding. Thanks

@imperialchalice 3 года назад

I use the vitaminc c 23% w/ HA spheres, and though it does have a brightening effect - you are right. It's more like a heavy duty moisturizer. I use it at night, beneath my usual moisturizer. And I wake up less dry (I have oily skin). And I admit: it. is. very irritating. Contrary to what one might think, it hurts less when I exfoliate before application, or you can mitigate the burning/stinging sensation by immediately applying moisturizer - but you should haven't to do that with a product that is intended for daily use. So. I'm switching once I finish it :)) Glad I found this video.

@soonsuicidal 3 года назад

Surprisingly, the a Ascorbic acid 8% + Alpha arbutin 2% works wonderfully on me in just 2 weeks. Yes, its oily & that gross rusty smell but dang its one of those few products Ive tried (in the span of 10yrs) that actually worked. I almost didnt try it coz a lot that bought this hated it lol. It did really brighten up my skin and I dont look dead anymore yay. My dark spots are gradually reducing too. A lil goes a long way too since its oily so 2-3 drops is sufficient. Tho definitely it isnt best to used this in the morning esp if you are using make-up. The TO's Alpha arbutin + HA that was recommended by Dr. Dray unfortunately didnt work on me. It was sticky and hard to spread. But since I still have half a bottle left, Im just gonna finish it up. Hopefully by some miracle, it will help with my dark spots too.

@holdingontothelaststrawbye1365 3 года назад

For people with sensitive acne prone oily skin, the ordinary's ascorbic acid 8% + alpha arbutin 2% did wonders. Just to be sure that it was only the ascorbic acid I didn't use any other products alongside ascorbic acid just a moisturizer. I've tried a korean vit c serum that had 21% vit c in it and it burned my skin, I've tried other vit c serums but it either caused irritation or burned my skin. This is my personal experience .

@pajamamama5965 3 года назад

This was interesting. For anyone who has sensitive skin and wants brightening and lightening of pigmentation, I have been using the ascorbic acid 8%/arbutin successfully by adding in a drop of the ordinary resveratrol/ferulic acid product. That acts as a preservative. There is no ph, since it is in a solvent, so actually you can apply it on damp skin. My bottle has lasted quite a while and I am getting great results. It doesn't worsen my acne either. My skin experiences no irritation with it unlike other ascorbic acid I have tried. Hope that helps someone

@keanifer 3 года назад

Whew, there’s a lot of misinformation here. 1. Ok so the resveratrol + ferulic acid serum does not work as a preservative. 2. Both serums are anhydrous and propanediol based. This is why there are no pH values quoted, as for something to have a pH, it needs to be in an aqueous solution. 3. The anhydrous nature of both the ascorbic + alpha arbutin and resveratrol + ferulic acid serums mean that they do not require a preservative. Only formulations that include water as an ingredient or are expected to come into contact with water actually need a preservative system to ward off microbial growth. 4. The ascorbic acid is happily stable in the propanediol based serum and needs nothing added to increase stability / reduce potential of oxidation. 5. Finally, I hope you have not mixed the serums in the bottles as that’s not what they are designed for. Instead just apply a few drops of each to your palm each time to combine before applying to your face etc.

@pajamamama5965 3 года назад

@@keanifer Thank you for your thoughtful response. I am aware that both products are anhydrous and have no ph, although when it hits damp skin, it combines with the water to form a very low ph, approximately 1.5 to 3. When I used the word preservative, I was referring to the mechanism within the skin which is complex and difficult to describe in layman's terms. Simply put, the ferulic acid increases efficacy of the ascorbic acid in the antioxidant properties for the skin. The ascorbic acid is stable in the propanedial long term, longer than an aqueous solution. I have seen excellent results in my own skin with this combination

@Skirkly 2 года назад

That is a good idea mixing (not in the same bottle) those two. I wonder if you can mix the 30% in silicone with the reservatrol/ferulic acid product and get results?

@@gk4539 The thing you have to remember with Dr. Dray is she loves products with data from clinical trials. Before I go on, it's one of the reasons why I love watching her. 🙂 I don't always agree though! Skinceuticals is the only vitamin C serum that has the kind of data our good doctor likes, so it's understandable that's the only one she would really promote, especially considering vitamin C has a few parameters for it to actually work. However, I'm more in agreement with other dermatologists in that other vitamin C products also work. Dr. Dray is more of the "show me the data that it actually works" rather than go by personal testimonies.

The Ordinary vitamin c 30% suspension works on me!!

It’s also convenient because i can use it for a long time since i mix it with a moisturizer. Also my skin becomes luminous and brighten, and prevents my pimples from coming back.

I tried the ascorbic acid 8% + alpha arbutin 2% because it sounded like a great idea, but in practice it failed: the product felt greasy and I hated putting it on my face, since it made putting other things on, like moisturiser impossible, because it would just slide off. I ended up using it up on my body. Nonetheless, I purchased from TO again, this time the alpha arbutin 2% w/HA and azelaic acid suspension. Both absorb really well into the skin. I'm very pleased with them. I also got the charcoal salicylic acid mask and use it once a week. It's pretty good too.

@junxu4438 3 года назад

@@arfiandeny6440 You can mix the suspension with their acid product, that will get rid of the grittiness, and the acids are formulated at the right pH for vitamin c. The ordinary formulated the vitamin c without water for its stability, there's no pH because there is no water. I would expect a doctor to know what pH is, but... I mix the 23% vitamin c suspension with their 5% lactic acid, this gives me the optimal concentration and pH for vitamin c.

Before, my skin wasn't smooth and showed dark spots. However now, after applying this littleexetra vitamin C face serum, it all has changed. My skin feels much softer and clearer. Those dark spots have nearly gone. Now my skin looks shiny and radiant, something I really like. The best part? I do not need to apply as much makeup anymore since this serum works so well! It doesn't make me feel sticky, which is fantastic for me. The serum goes into my skin fast and does not leave any leftovers.

The 23% ascorbic acid is one of my nightmares. I used it years ago when I started to get serious about skincare. I wasn’t following Dr. Dray yet and didn’t know much better 😭 It burns every time and it’s so itchy that even after an hour I’d have to wash it off cause it was still unbearable. I thought it was “working its magic on my skin” but it was just giving me really bad irritation. Halfway through the bottle I realized my skin is way worse than before I used it. I had bumps all over and they didn’t heal properly and gave me even more hyperpigmentation. The ascorbyl glucoside product felt much better although my before and after pictures showed no improvement. I wish I had just invested on retinoids from the start!

@loub1733 3 года назад

Well hey Dr Dray just wondering if you have ever reviewed the brand Timeless Vitamin C. I buy it through amazon. It has had good reviews from others because of the composition of the serum, said to be one of the better ones. I have been using it but have stopped for a it as have since learned that ascorbic acid tends to irritate skin prone to rosacea. Do you have an opinion on this. Would love to hear your thoughts on the brand even though it seems that this is not your favourite subject. Your general review of vitamin c products has also made me less enthusiastic….however have seen some improvement in my skin. This could be due to a number of things.

@anaana-ze8rd 3 года назад

I'd like that too. I prefer vitamin C over Niacinamide. Niacinamide dried out my skin and made it more wrinkled. Don't get the hype :/.

@mushy470 3 года назад

the minimum purchase for free shipping is £50 and if you spend less than that, its absurdly high at around £25. It doesn't make sense to buy a £10 Serum and then sooo much on shipping, so I'll probably end up spending £50. I'm not really interested in their other products though and I can't buy more than 1 vitamin c in advance or it'll oxidise. I really want to try the c glow but I don't really think it's a cheap option. How have people found a way around this?

@Catb3333 3 года назад

The thing with Dr Dray is that... She is a derm, and at the end of the day she feels kinda uncomfortable recommending unstable ingredients in formulas that weren't tested in clinical trials. Many other influencers will tell you they like it, and probably it works for you! Itsnjust that, as a derm, she only trusts proven formulas when it comes to unstable ingredients (hence why she only recommends Skinceuticals for Vitamin C)

@natgl11 3 года назад

I've tried it and loved it! but it does go off very quickly. if you buy it, I recommend also purchasing the small empty bottle that they sell. that way you can keep the regular bottle in the fridge for refilling the smaller one (holds about a week's worth of product), which you can keep in your bathroom or wherever you do your skincare. I've tried a couple of the ordinary's vitamin c products (I only liked the one with alpha arbutin), but I definitely prefer the one from geek and gorgeous. overall the brand is great, I've also tried their super gentle exfoliator (if I remember correctly it's called calm down and has pha) and their hydrating toner and really enjoyed both. I definitely want to try more of their products! edit: I forgot I also tried their jelly cleanser and niacinamide! they were ok products but forgettable haha the cleanser is very gentle, feels a bit like the cerave hydrating one. the niacinamide feels similar to the ordinary's, but it's less drying and doesn't foam up on the skin or pill with other products.

I am a big fan of Allies of Skin vit c serums. They're not cheap, and I use the 20% in summer and 35% in winter. It was actually my first time using vit c and I saw clear brightening on my face. My face used to be so much darker than my neck, after a bottle, I saw the face brightening up. I wish there were more affordable alternatives, but my understanding is that vit c is difficult to formulate, thus the high cost. I'm really happy with Allies of Skin and will be sticking to it.

@db-gb5xi 3 года назад

@Leegheid 3 года назад

I wish I had this video before I purchased the vitamin c 23% with HA spheres... I’ve been using that product for over 2 months now (every other day) and never had the feeling that the product was absorbing into my face. Even on a dry skin, moisturised skin or face that has had water serum on, nothing improved the absorption (always applying a small amount). The product often peels off while applying it on the face, which of course takes away all the benefits (since the powder is actually the l-ascorbic acid) I was sooo dissatisfied, thinking that I was applying it wrongly, but you helped me understand that it wasn’t my fault after all. I was today seriously this 🤏🏼 close to buying the 30% in silicone one, but thank god you talked me out off it, before making another mistake.
