Dermatologist's Favorite Vitamin C Serums: THD Ascorbate

[@susanmcf1]

Last year I used a popular 20% l-ascorbic acid product for a few months and my skin became very sensitive. I stopped using it, but it took a long time to get my skin back to normal. Now. I only use products with THD. I have used the Paula's Choice moisturizer you mentioned. It's very nice.

[@allymacredie1043]

Same here!

[@DallasNatureLover]

Same! For about 20 years I tried different L Ascorbic acid serums with E and ferulic acid. I never enjoyed any of them but used them because of the scientific evidence that L Ascorbic acid stimulates collagen production in the skin.

[@Kristen10-22]

Same

[@victoriagarcia5533]

I realized that the Vanicream one is better for me because at night I use retinol and if I use the other vitamin C’s in the AM that have a ton of other ingredients like lactic acid it will 🔥 burn my skin. This product is great for sensitive skin.

[@vickiemendoza9252]

I use the Vanicream Vit C and love it. great for my sensitive skin.

[@lori786]

Does it help with dark spots?

[@mijamz0625]

I've been using the C+ Correcting Complex for awhile now and absolutely love it! Worth every $$

[@Dragonfly7590]

I love Revision Skincare C+ and have been surprised I don't see it mentioned in more videos. I have sensitive, dry skin and have not had any issues. I have noticed my hyperpigmentation has slowly cleared while using this product. I highly recommend!

[@DallasNatureLover]

Finally THD getting some attention! Every active product in my a.m. and p.m. routines contains an effective amount of a substance that has been proven to stimulate collagen in the skin EXCEPT my THD vitamin c. I’m willing to make one exception because I love how THD products make my skin feel. I’m alternating between the Peter Thomas Roth Potent C and the Vanicream C. Now that I have found THD, I’m looking for more THD products to try. Even when on sale for about $70 I feel the Peter Thomas Roth serum is not at a reasonable price. Plus the smell is terrible and I’m hoping another company will be able to formulate with THD in a way that doesn’t cause this odor.

[@T.A.0876]

Dear doctor, PLEASE make a video about what you think of face muscle exercises that are so trendy today. Thank you.

[@Lynnie8764]

Your skin is flawless. Thank you for this video.

[@mariescott2820]

I love the Peter Thomas Roth Vitamin C. Currently trying the Skin Better Science one and like it but will likely go back to the PTR. I like that most THD vitamin C come in a pump rather than a dropper which I hate. While these are expensive, I could never finish a L-ascorbic vitamin C before it oxidized so factoring that in many of these are cheaper than the SC one.

[@esmeraldablack7526]

I am a Peter Thomas Roth Power C serum buyer too. Love love love the creamy texture. I have purchased ALOT of regular watery serum-types to find my fave and always go back to PTR.

[@DallasNatureLover]

I’m using PTR. Agree about the packaging. It’s ridiculous that so many serums come in dropper bottles. I just hate the odor of the PTR so am hoping to find another 20% THD serum under $100 that does not have this odor.

[@naomimartinez8435]

Omg I use vanic cream the cleanser, moisturizer,SPF, vitamin c which is my favorite and the way it makes my skin look and feel better and that shine and smooth feeling it's a great product it self just fyi for any one who wants more opinion.but I learn about vitamin c couple months ago from a dermatologist on utube I have 2 i watch so far and very on point what's in the things you need and use in your products

[@rhondapelletier2141]

Love he Vanicream products!!! so moisturizing and healing……. And work great! And great price point.

[@SpringismySeason]

Loving the Vanicream vitamin C. Travels well, light weight and moisturizing. I've seen Amazon offer buy two get 40% off. Ordering more right now! I may try the Skin Better or Revison products.

[@ladyforeman9680]

I really love love love the THD vitamin C from Ben Fuchs Truth Treatment System. I am going to order Medik8 next. Here great things about that brand. Will keep you updated.

[@ct2co2AZ]

Love TT!! Been using for the past 5 years and I’ll never be without the serum and the c-balm!!

[@AngelaHudson-ng7gn]

Truth Treatment Vitamin C is my Holy grail & will NEVER be replaced!❤️🎉🥳

[@iyanla09]

Can you make a video talking about layering your serums? For example, if a person have hormonal imbalance, acne scars, dry skin, and wants to fight anti-aging. How do one layer their serums? And which should be layer first?? I always get confused. For example, morning I want to hydrate and tackle my acne scar but I'm always unsure which chemicals will work with one another so I can get the best result for my skin. AM and PM.

[@melissavolsky903]

I have been using the perricone md ccc for several months and I have noticed lightening of my dark spots. I will say that perricone md often has sales especially around holidays. Zulilly often has these products as well if you want to try to see if it works for you before paying full price. Lastly, I have combo skin and unlike other formulas, I don’t have an issue with this product; doesn’t make me greasy nor doesn’t cause me to have acne.

[@MS-gi3hc]

What’s the THD percentage, pls?

[@akulaaa91]

Vit C serum fixed my skin after few weeks at the age of 30 I have finally gotten the skin I always wanted :D day and night fr

[@HarrisPilton789]

I just bought the PTR Potent C serum. I love it so far.

[@thinizzy]

you are GLOWING!

[@devimuthiah3110]

Surprisingly, glow recipe guava serum worked well for my hyperpigmentation .Thanks for your suggestion

[@lanaofficiel4042]

Hi Dr. Jenny. You always keep it real 💗 !!!

[@RockeyToes]

Great video, and super informative! For really dehydrated/sensitive skin, especially in winter, I like Sanitas Vita C Serum. It's oil-based but a few drops (you don't need much) applied to damp skin and it absorbs within minutes. DRMTLGY also makes a great Vitamin C based moisturizer, their C5 is fantastic. Sanitas makes a 15% THD Serum that's also good and affordable. I've gone through several bottles of it.

[@Duxbury_Skin]

I always loved the PTR one and have used it a several times. But it started getting pricey. Sounds like the bank real is a nice alternative too😊 thanks for sharing!

[@dr.jennyliu]

I need to try that one

[@Duxbury_Skin]

@@dr.jennyliu sorry meant to say I need to try the vanicream one you recommended 😅

[@Truffoire]

You are so so gorgeous omg, I will def try out these products!!

[@shirleyguy7152]

Thank you for explaining skin care that is understandable and useful 😊

[@ct2co2AZ]

Hi just found your channel!! Would like to say that Truth Treatment Systems makes an amazing THD ascorbate serum and a C balm. High concentration too I believe they claim up to 70% but I may be wrong on that. Very expensive but like no other

[@AngelaHudson-ng7gn]

The truth Treatment vitamin C serum is my holy grail & I will NEVER replace it!!❤️🥳

[@ZerrinTemiz]

This is a great video! Thanks a lot!

[@db-gb5xi]

Versed has a moisturizer that contains THD called daily brightening skin moisturizer weekend glow.

[@dr.jennyliu]

Yep I’ve talked about that one before too. Love it as well

[@nls8520]

Hi Dr.Liu, I know you had previously highly recommended as a favorite Glytone Age Defying Vitamin C, which has THD Ascorbate as well. I see that this product did not make the list this time. Do you just like these products more at this time?

[@cally2895]

What do you think about Paula’s choice 25% THD 25% Vitamin C + Glutathione Clinical Serum? Also Sunday Riley 15% THD CEO serum?

[@rosaana6190]

Thank you! Very well explained !

[@deborah972]

Hi dr jenny liu as always a lovely vlog 😊 xx

[@dr.jennyliu]

Thank you 😊

[@roboticgirl]

My favorite is Covey Vitamin C Serum

[@cherryadeyinka6814]

Thank you for this info very helpful 🙏

[@michelleseguin2930]

I have been using Colleen Rothschild THD vitamin C serum. I really like it.

[@JulissaReyes-h8j]

Yes I'm not sure if that would be my case about rosea, I went to the regular Dr and that day was cold and told me I had I need rosea cream but it was not a skin doctor, ? Not sure, next time I'll ask a dermatologist

[@JB-dx7ep]

Thd needs to be stabilized with Acetyl Zingerone

[@skateata1]

I used several L ascorbic products and it's such a pain because it expires quickly.

[@marymckenna5524]

Thanks for your review! I see that the Vanicream THD serum has a best by after opening date of six months. Are any of the other products that you reviewed longer lasting? Edit: Ascorbic Acid tears my facial skin up! LRP has a 5% pure Vitamin C that is the least irritating to my hyper sensitive skin. It is called Pure Vitamin C Cream with Neurosensine. Very nice product to wear. :)

[@jeannejones5449]

Excellent content thank you💐

[@michelepawlowski8101]

It was helpful. As I need to incorporate Vitamin C into my skincare routine. Can you please review depology

[@Aurla-R2-D2]

Thank you so much for this brilliant video! :) I would love to know what you think of the Dear Lucy serum, which contains 10% THD, along with niacinamide, alpha arbutin, etc? All best wishes 🧡

[@lewismatthews4247]

Thanks forvanother great video! Can you do an AM/PM skin routine for eczema prone folks?

[@angelachang7821]

Do you also recommend the new Skinbetter Alto Advanced Defense and Repair? Can you please advise, which is better for acne prone and rosacea skin?

[@jrmint2]

I stumbled upon The Ordinary Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F, and I think its the unpatented version of THD? I just ordered it bc its 20% and only $20! I was looking at the Peter Thomas Roth and it was really hard to make that jump to $105. I wanted something for those days where I can't handle the burn of ascorbic acid, even though it works amazing for brightening. Can you tell us all something about The Ordinary version of THD? The upside of THD seems to be that it can be mixed w copper peptides, and tretinoin...am I correct? That's why I ordered it, bc I could use it both am and pm and add to moisturizers I like...I hope.

[@lilyt_art]

Thanks for this awesome vid, very informative. Is ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate the same thing as THD ascorbate (another name for it?)

[@dr.jennyliu]

Similar is also lipid soluble not as much studies but have seen in Tatcha and few other Asian brands

[@At0micAllison]

I was wondering the same. The Ordinary lists Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate as a “key ingredient” in their product “Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F.” I am really confused why they wouldn’t market it as THD (the name most of us know it by) if that’s what it is, and similarly why they would claim it contains THD if it doesn’t. :-/

[@Intelligy25]

Great info. Tks for sharing on THd. Is drntlgy c5 cream good? Appreciate your thoughts

[@yh_playzroblox4104]

Hi Dr Liu, pls recommend good Vit C for pigmentation frm Korea and Japan. K Beauty products more convenience/ available in Asean countries. Thks in advance.

[@dr.jennyliu]

Okay I will work on a video for this topic

[@ksbma]

Hi Dr. Liu, would I be able to layer THD ascorbate after I apply Paula's choice 2% Salicylic acid and Naturiums 10% azelaic acid? thank you

[@VKat]

Any thoughts on Dr Idriss’ vitamin C moisturizer?

[@Abdul-RasaqObakoya-e4d]

Hi Jenny love your videos just wanted to know as a youtuber what benefits would you want from a thumbnail designer.

[@T.A.0876]

Thank you ❤️

[@angelachang7821]

Which is better the alto defense serum or the new one alto advanced defense and repair serum?

[@pause705]

Dr Liu, have you tried Dr Ci Labo's super white 377VC serum? it's a Japanese brand very popular in china, and it’s one of the best serums I have used for anti-pigmentation, it has an ingredient called 377 which I haven't heard anyone talk about on KZbin, could you do a video explaining what it does?love your content, 加油❤

[@dr.jennyliu]

I’ve tried the melano cc from rohto mentholat, that one is definitely oily/hydrating but not Dr Ci labo will have to give it a try sometime

[@NoorFatima-nv8vk]

Hello dear is melano cc good and THD vitamin C in it.

[@kelsie9912]

Hi Dr Jenny, can you recommend any THD products available in Australia (and don’t test on animals) ???

[@skateata1]

Thank you.

[@Radiologyheart]

Are they available in India? Links aren't compatible 😣

[@Laserchickens]

Is there any benefit to using vitamin C serum when you're not going outside all day?

[@1995nabi]

I see there's green tea in the Skinbetter Alto Defense and i'm allergic to it. What a bummer 😢 I've used 2 bottles of Skinceuticals now and they oxidized real quick.

[@karenpusateri2089]

Hello- I was curious if you would recommend Vanicream Vitamin C over La Roche Posay or vice versa?

[@miyalafee]

this video just came across my tl. if i could get an answer, since ethyl ascorbic acid is both water and lipid soluble, is the combination of eaa with thd still absorbs as quick? my serum contains both eaa and thd

[@Roh_elle05]

I have a question. My arms are destroy from the sun. So basically I have uneven skin tone and dark spots. What can I take in order for me to have clear skin on my arm to get rid of the dark spots from the sun

[@thesuns]

Do you like the cocokind vitamin C serum?

[@arleenvillanueva2734]

Can this type of Vitamin C be used with peptides like Argireline and if so how would be layered?

[@NoorFatima-nv8vk]

Hello Dr,is melano cc good,and does it has THD vitamin c in it ???

[@Lovebirdd]

Is it safe to use THD ascorbate at the same time as tretinoin (both at night)? Being that it's more stable, would it still give the benefits?

[@GremlinsNGangsters]

Yes - because THD is inactive and stable, you can use it in the same routine. [Source - Dr. Shereene Idriss]

[@Lovebirdd]

@@GremlinsNGangsters thanks!!

[@GalaxyGax]

can i use skinceuticals phloretin cf with A-luminate brightening serum in the morning?

[@ngojs]

Are all of these products pregnancy safe?

[@irenesimon7484]

How about Vichy vitamin C serum?

[@jonchang7091]

Can I use this with the ordinary buffet?

[@lindahathaway8034]

can you review Maelove skin care products! Mainly the serums.

[@ginamatthews-pr3kr]

I’ve used the glow maker for several years and it’s wonderful! I tried a few others, but was always left disappointed. I only use the glow maker for my Vitamin C. The price point is great as well. I think it’s around $40 and last you a long time.

[@kellyofthehead]

I really struggle to tolerate it, is THD more tolerable?

[@alena7393]

Dr. Liu, may these serums be used for skin around eyes?

[@dr.jennyliu]

as tolerated

[@rosygarcia6442]

Thoughts on Naturium’s vitamin c serum? I was thinking of trying.

How to treat pimples at home

[@rhondapelletier2141]

People! Try the ordinary, vitamin C ferulic …under $20 …. Works AMAZING!!! do not spend absorbent amounts of money on something that has such a short shelflife! Even if refrigerated! Do more research plenty of aestheticians here on KZbin……..

[@Mthld94_]

Nan Durian c’était une autre epoque

[@jenniferbauman1250]

You mentioned using this in the AM before your sunscreen. Do you use anything before the vitamin c product after cleansing? Do you use a moisturizer?

[@phoenixgirl11]

Great question. I’m also curious

[@Yotakirocky100]

Maybe toner but if you want vitamin c to work you have to put it first!

[@db-gb5xi]

In the case of ascorbic acid, some derms recommend using a salicylic acid cleanser before applying vit c because it helps lower the pH which supposedly helps with better penetration of the vit c.

a lot of VC products can make ur face look yellowish or brownish, especially Lascorbic ones.

The Vanicrem Vit C serum

[@Abii140]

THD isn't a common ingredient so it's more expensive but also worth it if it's the one that works for you. If you can't afford it don't show petty attitude online but settle for any of the other vitamin c options.

[@KingKikikoi]

Or go earn some money Brookie

[@roden70]

The Ordinary has a vitamine C serum with the derivative she talks about. It's around 25 dollars (it is the most expensive of their vitamin C's.

[@roden70]

​@@KingKikikoiYou don't have to snub her or him. Some people work 2 jobs and can barely afford the cost of living. In that case every penny counts. Presenting 3 products that are above 100 dollars is a bit out of touch with most peoples reality these days. We don't all get a derms salary.

How do you use the Alto defense from the SkinBetter line?

[@db-gb5xi]

If used in the day, apply before moisturizer and/or sunscreen. If used at night, you can use the alto defense before your retinoid.
