Ultimate VITAMIN C SERUMS - Ranking My Vitamin C Favourites

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hey guys and welcome back to Mad About Skin... let me know your thoughts on vitamin c in the comments below.. Love you all x

[@afrominded]

I have dark skin and hyperpigmentation. I have always been scared to try vitamin c because I don't want to risk any more hyperpigmentation if it oxidizes or burns (I live in sub-Saharan West Africa). You've definitely given me the courage to try some.

[@zahraadam3284]

I would try supra fade , or faded by topicals for hyperpigmentation works great though pricey

[@badfairy9554]

It's best to keep the VitC in a cold place. I am in the UK and keep my creams in a wooden box and out off the sun light.

[@michelecalder5413]

Haha I was just in market for a new one actually, this worked out perfectly on timing 🍊 🧡

[@MadAboutSkin]

Yay I love a well timed video... thank you so much for watching.. love x

[@janm9309]

❤❤I’m alway one of the bitter end crew!! Xx I’m a vitamin C derivative girl all the way, been stung (literally!) with too many pure form vitamin Cs. Might try that Dr Sam’s one when I come home, it sounds divine xxx

[@MadAboutSkin]

Awww thank you so so much Jan... I love the Dr Sam one.. its a little pricy but I think its worth it.. I do wish I could get a discount code out of them though lol as I would be buying so much more from them lol xxxxx

[@cabarnone]

I got my niece into Vitamin C and she was so happy with the results.

[@MadAboutSkin]

Yay I am so so glad she's getting the results she wants.. thats always so gratifying when a product works so well.. love x

[@castadivanorma8478]

Up till now, you loved geek and gorgeous serum

[@MadAboutSkin]

I still do it's featured as the top 2 in this video x

[@glitchessence]

I use Naturium's Vitamin C Super Serum Plus! It's the best!

[@MadAboutSkin]

Such a good product and one of my favourites for sure xx

[@angelac1453]

I’ve wanted to try it but it has retinol. Did you already use a retinol product before trying this ? I usually purge with retinol I haven’t worked myself up and I don’t want to dry out. I have dry acne prone aging skin .

[@glitchessence]

@@angelac1453 The retinol in this formula is gentle (and encapsulated). It’s perfect for beginners and those with sensitive skin. It’s also formulated in a way that is not reactive to UV light so it can be used in the AM as well as PM.

[@kathleenferguson2403]

I'm new to Rob's products. I'd previously purchased named brands that work, often with Rob's recommendation. But the beauty of Mad About Skin products isn't just that they work - the new peptide serum for instance, or the night oil, show positive results that draw comments - but they have a lightness to them. It is skincare for angels. Thank you Rob. I'm in debt. I didn't know I needed your products until I felt the impact. Keep up the great work.

[@MadAboutSkin]

Oh thank you so so mcc hun this comment brought a tear to my eye.. I am so delighted the proudest are working so well for you and thank you for your love kindness and support.. love xx

🍊 vitamin c is tricky for my sensitive acne prone skin. I’ve found my best form is THD Ascorbate which is in the Sunday Riley CEO serum. I love it!

[@MadAboutSkin]

I agree hun, I think for acne prone skin THD is a wonderful option. love x

[@raineiyall-fawcett1818]

🍊I’m currently finishing up with Maelove’s Glow Maker. It’s fine. I think the problem I have is noticing a difference. I realize fading my sun damage is gradual, so my skin has maybe (probably) improved over time…I just can’t tell if Vitamin C is doing it. Haha! I’ll keep using though! Thanks for the recommendations, it’s very helpful!

[@MadAboutSkin]

My pleasure hun and thank you so so much for watching.. I agree with you the results with most vitamin c is gradual so it can be hard to know how much its working.. love x

[@yukikok2044]

I don't use vitamin C serum (except for Numbuzin 5 serum) because I have dry, sensitive skin and I love copper-peptide, which doesn't get along with vitamin C. As an anti-oxidant, I use Idebenone/ ectoin. As a collagen-generation booster, I use ectoin/DMAE. Can I call Numbuzin 5 as a vitamin C serum?

[@NE_11111]

I like THDA because it is fat/ oil based. I think it is very stable. great video! Thank you 😊

[@MadAboutSkin]

Thank you so much hun and I agree with you I think its the best derivative x

[@BeHealing]

I've tried many & have settled on the Melano CC it's inexpensive and I love the packaging, a squeeze tube that is hard to squeeze out, it has a little fragrance lemony but not strong.

[@MadAboutSkin]

Thank you so much for sharing hun and I love the melono too :) love c

[@Vix375]

Can you use vit C if you have rosacea acne prone sensitive skin? Also I’m confused as to where you put in your routine. Does it go before peptides and can you use it along side azelaic acid? ❤

[@MadAboutSkin]

You can but I think a derivative would be the best.. start azealic acid first and then once you have used that some time introduce the vitamin c.. love x

The ordinary fulvic acid brightening cleanser is my holy grail. It’s not vitamin c but I get more of a brightening from This cleaner then any leave on vitamin c I’ve tried, maybe my skin is odd cuz I can’t believe an affordable soap leaves brightening results as well as it does 🎉

[@MommaOsoIrish67]

I had been using Sunday Riley CEO GLOW that i received in a gift basket. I loved it. But when I looked at repurchasing, I couldnt justify the expense. Also in that basket, i received a Tumeric superfood mask that u really like. Tu Mask, from dr botanicals i think... On your recommendation I purchased G&G C-glow instead. So far I'm really liking it(and the A-game)!

The smell! It feels great on my skin and I know it’s an amazing product, but hot dog water first thing in the morning is just…ew. I do like the Vegreen, so I may go back to it. I also need to try the G&G. I need to wait until I need a few more G&G products, so I get free shipping. 😁 Thanks for another great vid, Rob!!

Hi Rob, I hope you see this. I have asked your advice a few time. Anyways, any and all Vit C’s are making me orange. It never used to do that. Ir at least I didn’t notice. It’s almost like it has self tanner in it. I ordered the G&G I love love love the texture. However, I will be an umpalompa in the morning. What could it be? It’s not orange in the bottles.

I had been using one, even tried Dermatica but it was too sticky. I'm on a Dermatica skin treatment and they told me I couldnt use vitamin c. They said the same thing to me about using retinal.

🍊💟 I'm just starting with the pure L Ascorbic Acid serums now and opted to begin wit a 5% because I have sensitive skin. Strangely enough I got a bit orangy stains and just where there was aleady some hyperpigmentation and age spots. The store doesn't believe me but my knuckels were really orangy looking. So I moved on to a second brand which seems to be okay. The dr Sam is much to expensive and I don't dare try a 20% serum. And Geek and Gorgeous are here in an online store but this makes the freshness questionable. I also tried the Glow Recipe toner with cloudberries but I don't like the product to be honest. It is drying on my skin.
