7 Vitamin C Alternatives for Those With Sensitive Skin (Niacinamide, Azelaic Acid, & More)

[@pretzelsfan]

susan your delivery is outstanding in its clarity. you're able to so effectively discuss difficult, invisible concepts effortlessly. it's probably because of your experience on camera and as an editor, but really, you possess the essence of a professor too. so enjoyable to watch and learn from you. :)

[@SusanYara]

I have heard so many complaints about Vitamin C over the years, so I thought this video might be helpful. Please feel free to ask any questions you have! 😘

[@Mandeepkaur-kw4yh]

Can we get a hand care routine?? I always notice your hands are so pretty😊😊

[@archiuppu]

Hey! Can you do the same for retinol?

[@marijkegosselin9956]

when will naturium be available in Europe? :)

[@gurcharnkaur5802]

Hey.. Can you just pls make a video on how should teen age girls start with/what kind of skin care regime.... Or some basic makeup. Just for parties you know .. Like teenage curiosities 🙂🙃

[@gurcharnkaur5802]

Plz make it.... I really need it

[@adrianacannizzaro]

Another product rec that I have is Faded by Topicals. It has niacinamide, azelaic acid, alpha aburtin and tranexamic acid ! I've been using it instead of vitamin C in the morning and I love it ! Thank you Susan for this video, loved it . I'm patiently awaiting for Naturium to ship to Canada :)

[@alexandernikodemus759]

please don't use it in the morning. Those acids make you much more photo sensitive and shouldn't be used in the morning. The product in itself is great tho.

[@adrianacannizzaro]

@@alexandernikodemus759 that's actually false. None of those acids increase sun sensitivity

[@imansayed6181]

@@adrianacannizzaroif you watch dr shah and dr maxfield on Doctorly (board certified dermatologists), they rave about Faded, but always urge people to be careful with it bc of the ingredients making you prone to photo sensitivity. Pls follow with a good sunscreen!

[@kristydancer101]

Finally found some alternatives!! I’ve tried Vitamin C and honesty it does give my skin a gorgeous glow but it also gave me cystic pimples on my forehead that would appear within 15mins of applying and took months to go away 😢

[@paulettemeek]

Ok i am a perfectionist. And i can say everything about this video is literally perfect. I was thinking of incorporating vitamin c to my routine but i don't think it will work for me! - i have rlly sensitive skin. i am so grateful i found this vid! thank u , susan!

[@rmjauregui]

Definitely 🙌 to Niacinamide and Azalea Acid from Naturium! My suggestion introduce in your routine little by little until you arrive to use them daily, together and morning and night routine! Great Naturium products!

[@laurenhill1196]

The video I needed because my skin just cannot tolerate Vitamin C!!!! Thank you Susan!

[@audreymaske]

So glad you are talking about azaleic acid!! I have dry/sensitive/acne prone skin and when I got pregnant I had to go back to the drawing board with my routine. I started incorporating azaleic acid and I love it! I have a bottle of yours on the way! Can’t wait to try it!

[@honeybear373]

What's your fav azaleic acid product so far?

[@romeydiaz77]

A really good toner to try with some of these amazing ingredients is the Paula’s Choice Weightless Advanced Repairing Toner, it includes Niacinamide, Resveratol and Peptides!

[@tanyukheng1828]

Indeed!! I love this toner too!

[@stephlovesmatcha]

Thank you Susan for this video. You have the most informative and easy to understand videos when it comes to skincare. You and your team are doing such a great job! i cant believe you dont have as much views as some skincare influencers that just condemns other brands and fear monger certain ingredients. You really are the best of the best and I wish you many blessings and successes ahead. xoxo

[@annaretna5228]

When is naturium available internationaly?😄

[@sarahp4420]

I find the inkey list q10 serum a great vit c/antioxidant alternative with none of the sensitivity!

[@petitsjoujoux5011]

Oh I was going to ask about this!

[@MeredithHammett]

Really??? That's great to know! Thanks for the tip!

[@Ola-ts9ny]

yes! q 10 is amazing!!

Another problem with wine is that it actually contains tons of synthetic additives which they deliberately leave out on the label. When wine producers were confronted with this finding, their reply was, they have to omit this information in order to preserve the mystique, allure or prestige of wine and to protect its market value. This is just weird, because then wine seems to be the only consumer product in the world that isn't obligated to disclosure of ingredients. I saw a documentary about this a couple of years back, so maybe things have changed since then, but even so, wine isn't just grapejuice and alcohol, as I always thought

[@kendallstark4302]

Could that be the sulphites? If that's the case, then they do include it on the label.

[@Phoebe-Fleure]

@@kendallstark4302 I have no idea, they only showed an entire list of ingredients found after a chemical analysis of wine that was kept from the public. This was a program where an inspection service for food was investigating certain products. Maybe there are wine makers who do put everything on the label, but there were many who didn't.

[@LaurenMeehanG]

The Jordan Samuel Skin Siero Antiossidante replaced Vitamin C for me and my skin has THRIVED since using it (for about 2 year now). My combo skin LOVES it.

[@alvomac4]

OMG THANK YOU for this video I’ve been tryna look for vitamin c alternatives that my sensitive skin can actually tolerate 💕

[@theresas2520]

On Amazon I get one from Eva Naturals. It's the skin clearing vitamin c alternative. It is really amazing. It cleared my skin as well. It's usually $10-$14 on Amazon. They have other items too that are also amazing but the skin clearing vitamin c one is my HG!

[@alvomac4]

[@rbaker368]

Your Niacinamide serum is the best. I notice the difference in my skin when i run out and forget to repurchase for a few weeks..sooooo good.

[@amandamorgan3595]

I recently tried a new vitamin c serum from Summer Friday and had a bad allergic reaction. I went to the dermatologist and she gave me a steroid cream for it. It’s been almost two weeks and already looks and feel better. Thank you so much for this videos!

The new Korres Santorini Grape Velvet Skin Drink oil has resveratrol !!! It’s so good 🍇💚🇬🇷

[@sharroon7574]

Is it fragranced?

[@jaderoush6017]

This was interesting. I have been leaning toward niacinamide because vitamin C products seem to give my skin a “patchy” appearance. I’m not sure if this is irritation or discoloration (I’m wearing sunscreen 😥) but it has made me nervous about vitamin c. Thanks for looking out for us!

[@sam.anna.ash.]

I looooovvvvveeeee the Naturium Alpha Arbutin Essence 1%. It feels like you're giving your skin a drink of water. Was conflicted on whether to upgrade to the 2% serum tho. My skin has shown improvement in hyperpigmentation since starting.

[@angelasuezanne1736]

Hi Susan! Love your videos 💛 What are your thoughts on mixing serums, e.g. a vitamin C serum which might be a bit intense for the sensitive skin type, and another calming and soothing serum?

[@HeatherBug86]

What do you think for MaeLove The Glow Maker? 🍊

[@tojin]

I agree with Susan on the beauty of using vitamin C derivatives. Most Dermatologists tend to discourage you to use derivatives just because "there is no sufficient research backing it" (their common statements) but that doesn't mean there's no studies conducted. If derivatives can make vitamin C more stable and gentler on the skin with some degree of research, why not? There are tons of consumers seeing good results by using derivatives and it's too wasted not to look into it just because 'there is no sufficient research'.

[@kellyc3897]

Surprised you didn't mention Tranexamic acid, Susan. Love Naturium's version! 💜

[@jenniferlee9029]

Did it help with hyperpigmentation at all? I'm on the fence about purchasing it. Thanks🙂

[@kellyc3897]

@@jenniferlee9029 yes it does a good job! Obviously one product isn't going to remove everything especially if you have stubborn/severe hyperpigmentation but I definitely noticed results.

I Love your products. I first started with the Niacinamide serum. Amazing. Then the azelaic acid. Then 3 more. Very happy with everything. 👍👏💖

[@ahmedkhalifa922]

EXCELLENT skincare products to choose from❤

[@natsl3049]

Jordan Samuel Antioxidant serum is an excellent alternative. I hated that Caudalie.

[@tiannadowney9793]

I just purchased your Niacinamide cleansing gel, along with La Roche Posay Vitamin C Serum. I do have very sensitive skin, and have only tried the Drunk Elephant Vitamin C a few years ago. Question - is it safe to use the Vit C serum after washing with the Niacinamide wash, or will that potentially irritate my skin??

[@amaya3107]

Is there a cheaper option of products to get peptides into a skincare routine. I find Drunk Elephant and Kate Somerville to pricey for me.

[@richcreamerybutter6640]

The ordinary buffet, inkey list peptide moisturizer and purito centella serum are some great examples of inexpensive peptide products

[@rafiakhan2349]

The ordinary buffet also has the palmitoyl tripeptide- 38. I currently use it and it does make a difference!

[@angelag.2191]

Good Molecules also has a peptide serum that is in a good price range

[@oluchi3363]

Susan Yara, If you are hearing this, I would really appreciate and like to ask you to produce a mineral sunscreen from your skincare brand.

[@threatlevelmidnight3588]

Do you think zelens tea shot is a good alternative to vitamin c?

Vit C is the one thing I CAN actually tolerate with my rosacea. I skip the retinol and use vit C instead from Skin Ceuticals

I use Naturium vit c serum on neck and chest

You can buy her products from retailers, such as Amazon, that ship to Canada. You’re posting this on all her videos.

@@mattymariah Amazon Canada doesn’t sell Naturium. Amazon US doesn’t ship Naturium products to Canada. Many Canadian subscribers can’t wait to get Naturium and Krave Beauty products, it never hurts to ask 😊. We do have a way around it, and it’s to have it shipped to a US forwarder who then ships to us, but this service is expensive.

Does anyone know if there are antioxidants that remain stable and effective in the presence of benzoyl peroxide? Both leave on and wash off forms of BPO

Due to their mechanism of action that is not possible and they will cancel each other out. Best bet is using one in the evening and the other in the morning.

Your skin will tolerate tretinoin you just have to stick with it. Ive used Obagi Nuderm 3 times myself and I sold it. When you first start your skin is raw, reddened and peeling. This can last for up to 12 weeks. Its very unpleasant and uncomfortable HOWEVER the transformation that takes place is more than worth it. I have seen some amazing melasma/HP improvements. Virtually disappears. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@rosemartin4398]

Vitamin c is in a ton of things already … makeup , food , spf etc … vitamin c on its own in general is so strong for serum and that’s normal to have reactions / just don’t use it . Common sense . There’s plenty other ingredients that work well

I have a friend that invented the cure to acne and anti-aging. But the industry blackballed him. He called one of the big skin care industries they told him how are we supposed to make money. He called dermatologist sent videos how it works on your face none of them called him back. There's a lot of cures out there for a lot of different things but if it doesn't make money it doesn't make sense. I would love for you to talk to him. The skin Care industry is scared of this guy. He can put a lot of people out of business.
