Niacinamide 5% serum is a miracle worker on my hyperpigmentation. Vitamin C makes my skin itch or burn, my face was so red & angry looking.

[@s.jensen1492]

I recently started developing hives from my Vitamin C serum. Took quite awhile to figure out what was causing it and trips to the MD. I use Niacinimide ok without any issues. Thank you for this video. !

[@annettehankins3268]

Great video & informative!!

[@elizabethmyers1328]

Thank you so much for this information!

[@jilliansmith8080]

I started using a lot of products that has niacinamide in January...... my skin been having itchy pustuals. I just switched everything to niacinamide free except my tret.... no more red itchy bumps. I eliminated one by one and it got better and better

[@Julia-gr7rh]

I can’t tolerate niacinamide either, gives me deep, painful cystic acne within the night of using it.

[@naushabaahmad7865]

Excellent products selection for vitamin C alternatives, The video is very informative and presented well.i liked it a lot.

[@reneekamer]

I love love Paula's choice 15% vitamin C boost serum!!

[@1naturalbeauty]

This was so informative! I’ve seen such an improvement in my skin since adding some of these ingredients, like copper peptides, into my routine. For a long time, I thought my skin couldn’t handle niacinamide. Turns out it’s just high concentrations like 10% that seem to irritate my skin.

[@db-gb5xi]

I've also seen CoQ10 recommended as an antioxidant instead of vit c. Maelove has their Peptide Squad with all four types of peptides. Have you checked out the Cosrx 6 peptide booster? Re: reseveratrol, I recently saw a derm recommend the Medik8 Oxy-R peptides serum as a vit c alternative. How do feel about The Ordinary's resveratrol and ferulic serum?

[@patriciapriego8657]

I love vit C, could I use both, copper peptide and vit C? Excellent video! Thank you!

[@sherwinjavier9564]

@dr.jennyliu, Can I use Vichy Prebiotic and tretinoin at the same time in my evening skincare routine?

[@shandel499]

YES! My skin dislikes Vit C in any potency.

[@addisonmanion9670]

Can Copper Peptides be used in the same routine as Tretinoin? What about L-Ascorbic Acid? I've been so curious to use The Ordinary serum!

[@sharonscott1776]

Can you use Tretinoin, Alpha Arbutin, Tranexamic acid in the same routine at night please?

[@MuhammadShahidChairman]

Nice

[@bavajanbabu8763]

Mam can we vitamin c and moisturizer after cleansing with benzoyl peroxide face wash .pls hlep me out ?

[@coracorasedits]

Hi Dr. Jenny Liu! Sorry for this question that might sound dumb: does pure vitamin C ruin freckles? Because of it brightening effects?

[@dr.jennyliu]

No it doesn’t

[@melissacatlin706]

What other ingredients can be used with copper peptides?

[@dr.jennyliu]

Most ingredients are fine but I like retinol

[@PaleOpal21]

Dr. Jenny I hope you can answer this question, I purchased The Ordinary Copper Peptide when it first came out and after one application my nails and face were tinged orange. Is this normal?

[@kristinekerr3688]

@PaleOpal21 - i’m not a Derm, but it sounds to me like your copper is oxidizing. Some ingredient in another product you’re using is causing it to oxidize.

[@PaleOpal21]

​@@kristinekerr3688 Thanks. I applied to clean dry skin and the serum was blue and a brand new bottle but that does make sense. I had to double cleanse and soak my nails in hydrogen peroxide. What a mess!

[@angiepattillo3599]

Yes, the Paula's Choice AA is irritating if you're not very careful. It is because of the salicylic acid in it. Why they would add that, who knows? I was a PC die hard fan, but I'm moving over to The Ordinary skin care for cost savings, and really loving it so far
