INSTA LIVE NO.16 PART ONE: VITAMIN C | CAROLINE HIRONS

[@BJ-88]

Informative and honest, with some laughs. I could be bald and watch you review shampoos 😂❤️ thanks for all you do!

[@CarolineHirons]

LOL thank you! x

[@AmandaMcCarterWrites]

I started using Sunday Riley CEO Glow this week and for whatever reason, my chin is the clearest it's ever been. No bumps, no redness, no nothing. Absolute magic.

[@sharonperry8978]

Love your sense of humour and please “you do you” and the critics can bugger off.

[@reneerunyan3583]

I just bought MAELOVE and it delivers a glow!!!

[@vickijennings5745]

Hi Caroline just bought your book yesterday in Brisbane ( Australia) rushed in when I saw it advertised in Dymocks books THANKYOU!! You've made me a very happy little Vegemite and I've been devouring it. You are such a wealth of knowledge. THANKYOU THANKYOU!!! I will buy it for my daughter now 🙃

[@damalulani]

The Sebagh powder is quite gentle actually, it's 23% Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, and after mixing you will get something like 10% Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, which in itself is a much gentler form of Vit C. The issue is the packaging, you have to wiggle the stopper thing to open the tube and the tube opening usually breaks after using it 10 times or so...

[@alexandrawalker5395]

Brilliant as always! Looking for a vit c product to help with dark spots and hyperpigmentation. What would you recommend for very oily skin, in late twenties? I use salicylic acid in mornings and glycolic in evenings- not sure if that makes any difference!

[@julieCY20]

Just discovered you after reading your book, you are brilliant, being new to skincare and make up , odd I know being over 50 but love you, honest and very informative 👏😊

[@brendavincent]

I am watching this for the third time, can you tell I just adore you Caroline. I'm 56 and just started prescribed Vitamin A. Its going fabulously but finding the Vit C testing seems to aggravate my skin, If I happen to be allergic to the Vit C, what would be the alternative? Any advice would be so much appreciated -)

[@theinfinitymilk]

1:01:28 - My boyfriend said, 'What're you watching, a live or a sitcom?' 😂

[@AnnieDewiPerci]

Oh carolling I am howling with laughter thank you for brightening my evening :-) xxx

[@terrance7220]

Allies of skin is 15% THD ascorbate and 20% ethylated ascorbic acid😘

[@Heedy770]

Please do a good housekeeping version for this, just like you did with Vitamin A.

[@_monicat]

Hi Caroline, I know this video is from a time ago, but I would like to ask if you get to see this message, can vitamin C be used in the morning and at night Retinoid or Tretinoin? Thank you!!!!!!!!!

[@laurenclarke9544]

This makes me want a cup of tea

[@MelGork06]

If I'm using CEO Glow and just bought The Ordinary's niacinamide 10% zinc 1%- what goes on first?

[@rbaker368]

I'd do the niacinamide first as it's the lighter product and will absorb quicker. The oil will go over it nicely :) I love both products myself 👍🏻

[@fullofhope6978]

Brilliant as ever Caroline - Thank you! i LOL'd at one of the comments though! Mayo? On your what now?!!!

[@SavillesTravels]

I want to use a vitamin C and a retinol. Obviously Retinol needs to be used at night. Can I use vitamin C safely in the mornings (that's what I have been doing but not sure it's right)....lots of different views so I thought I'd ask an expert. Thanks in advance

[@CarolineHirons]

Yes you absolutely can x

[@helloogieee]

My PC vitamin oxidises very quickly too. About 1 month in, it turned dark yellow and then orange... 🙄 I made sure to store it away in a drawer I. Its original packaging so... 🙄

[@zoeberry33]

I keep my in the fridge.

[@maisieelle9346]

Yass Caroline and yellow is iconic 😍🌻

[@mariadarocha8767]

Hello. I’ve tried vitamin c serum and it dries me out. Can you suggest alternative and would it work as well with the vitamin c drinkable shots??

[@jnewmark41]

Are you familiar with MAD HIPPIE Vitamin C serum? I don’t know if you have it in UK. By far, the best formula I have ever seen. Please check it out. The price point is not bad. MAD HIPPIE is a smaller brand in the US that is sooooo impressive. Their vitamin C serum has actually improved by skin visibly. Thanks!!!! 🙏👍🏻👌🌞

[@simonyetmerah]

Hi Caroline, which one is your favourite? The Oskia or the Skinceuticals? X

[@CarolineHirons]

Oskia.

[@rhythmandblues_alibi]

I love the orange bag!! 😍

[@angel12boucher17]

Hello Caroline..I would like to request in the future....if you get to it...a series on EGFs peptides and such I really have a very in depth skincare regimen...and I would really love to pick your brain on the high end of these product think le muiex....

[@metalhead_catmum]

Which order would you use tan luxe super glow with CEO oil , I’ve always put the serum then mix the oil with moisturiser so the self tan went first ? X

[@CarolineHirons]

I do it both ways. And both ways work. I would spritz, apply Tan-Luxe then go in with vit c and see how it works for you x

[@Itsthatforeignchic]

I am a week new to skincare and acids it can be so confusing regarding what to mix with what and what you can’t mix

[@rhythmandblues_alibi]

Yes it is very confusing! I can highly recommend the skincareaddiction subreddit, some great info there and everyone is v helpful!

[@cindyjulianmua]

So so so gutted I did get a chance to buy a kit, especially Kit2! 😞

[@eme8237]

What do you think about the osmosis vit c serums Caroline?

[@sergehoule7620]

Great input as usual🙏

[@mrswalker196]

Carolina first. Thing. I’ve just become a grandma for the first time second John Taylor ffoorrr third most important I’m using 0-025 Tret from Spain I’ve just joined dermatica and. They gave me 0.025 this is so not strong for me can I change it? also can I still use self tan drops ps lived in London 👄27 years love you xxxxxxxxx

[@CarolineHirons]

I would use the first Dermatica up but email them and say you would like stronger for month 2.

[@hannahrumming4855]

Hello please could someone direct me to the place on the blog which tells you the order to put products on? Someone asks on the live and is directed to the blog but it’s hard to find? Thank you 😊

[@kristinas5714]

Caroline , what can be done about perioral dermatitis? I had it last year and took oral antibiotics called doxycycline but it’s back. It burns and tingles and all skincare makes it worse ! ???

[@amy3971]

I’m not Caroline but the first thing she’d ask is have you got SLS in your toothpaste? If you do, change your toothpaste.

[@Jessewitch]

Will regular use of vitamin c fade freckles over time?

[@CarolineHirons]

No it shouldn’t.

[@louisatuck1868]

What's your views on fragrances in products is it really ruining our skins over time?

[@CarolineHirons]

I'm not against fragrance but if you have a sensitised skin its an added ingredient that you don't need.

[@Cherchezlatrish]

What about Mad Hippie’s vitamin C???

[@stepash77]

I started with this one, and just finished my bottle. I'm going to try a few other things and see what I think in comparison. I've been wondering the same thing!

[@elizabethtonovic4678]

Love Ava's sass! 😂😂😂

[@sharll45]

Which IS Clinical do you refer to? Pro Heal serum or Serum Advance?

[@damalulani]

Pro Heal for sensitive skin, Serum Advance for mature skin, GeneXC for all skin type with the highest concentration of LAA.

[@CarolineHirons]

Don’t know them well enough to comment sorry.

[@paulwilcockson]

Thankyou 🙏❤️

[@vivianisalegend]

What about vitamin c in a silicone suspension? Does that go first?

[@CarolineHirons]

Yes.

[@sassybanjo3586]

I bought a Vitamin C and opened it today. It’s a yellowish color and I was told it’s due to ingredients like grape seed extract so the color can vary due to the season. I don’t believe it’s the truth. Could I be wrong?

[@CarolineHirons]

What's the product?

[@sassybanjo3586]

Caroline Hirons Maelove

[@anab5106]

whats your favorite Vitamin C? You mentioned so many I can’t decide which one tu buy haha

[@CarolineHirons]

Summer Fridays or Oskia

[@xiutianzheng]

Oskia Super C vs Bright Lights?

[@CarolineHirons]

For me, Super-C

[@damalulani]

To fade pigmentation, Brightlight is better imo. For overall radiance and anti-aging, Super C. Btw Brightlight also contains Vit C but a different form than Super C (Super C contains Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate which has more data on collagen production, while Brightlight contains Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate which has more data on brightening).

[@CarolineHirons]

@@damalulani Thank you for chipping in!

[@xiutianzheng]

I actually just started using Bright Lights when I posted the question but went ahead and ordered the Super C as well (typical skincare junkie? hahaha). My plan is to use the Bright Lights in the morning (as I have been doing) and the Super C at night together with Power D.

[@Happyharold666]

'id have to go over there and you'd see my ass so NO' 😂😂😂

[@MM-li8nk]

‘... you’ll see my arse, NO! ‘ 😂😂😂😂 dying, ..... ‘got distracted doing hand cream, have you met me?’ Oh dear I can’t, nearly choked on my tea! your newest fan 😘

[@sitnspin1819]

Ava's humour is on point LMAO

[@rebeccasum5770]

What are your thoughts on Ole Henriksen Truth Serum?

[@CarolineHirons]

Too fragranced now.

[@gameplaygirl3268]

I'm in the market for a new vitamin c so this has come at a good time!

[@susanhoward8364]

Do a couch bag and a bed bag! (Morning and Night but in your jams the entire time!)

[@magn0lia_tree655]

A flight bag would be awesome, when we can fly again 💕✈️

[@rachaelbrown98]

Came to find a Vitamin C serum, leaving after 7 mins to buy hand cream 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@chicpea8387]

Cicaplast handcream 👌

[@mayragutierrez3927]

Why is there so little preparation for these videos.....annoyingly all over the place

They’re insta lives. It’s me answering questions. By their very nature they are ‘all over the place’.

Good to know. I’ll be sure to frame everything around your needs in future Liz. 👍

[@lizmcauley7169]

@@CarolineHirons oh for goodness sake take some constructive criticism, everyone has to in their jobs/life. It's not personal. You'll survive without me watching. I just want clear info on products some if which are pricey for normal budgets. I thought that was your objective to inform about skincare. Sarcasm is not warranted.

[@CarolineHirons]

I wasn’t being sarcastic.

[@Jenny-ru4hf]

why have you had so much work done to your face? cheeks etc. didn't the products you use live up to your expectations?
