VITAMIN C SKINCARE ROUTINE + PRODUCT REVIEW | CeraVe Vitamin C Serum | The Budget Dermatologist

[@kinjalmehtaV1]

The rice berry face serum by littliextra is among one of my favorite serums I have ever used. Its key ingredients feature vitamin C, ferulic acid, Vitamin E, and black rice water. This smooth and brightening serum efficiently penetrates my skin, acting as a hydrator. It gives instant brightness and glow to my skin; simply patting the serum dry on my face works. The serum's consistency is excellent, it's not overly sticky and feels lightweight, quickly absorbing quickly into the skin to leave it soft and smooth. I highly recommend trying this serum; you'll fall in love with your smooth skin!

[@AanyaRajputGZB]

Thanks dear. My so dull skin is looking fresh and glowing with the use of rice berry face serum.

[@lindag277]

As a pharmacist, I really enjoy your videos and how you don’t shy away from the active ingredients and doses, contraindications and especially love that you are not sponsored. I endorse your videos to patients suffering from acne or anyone wanting quality information on skin care products.

Just wanted to let you know how helpful this video was, I was always lost when to use vitamin c, when to add retinol, when to add other products. This helps simplify on what we really need. Keep making content like this!

[@annmarieknapp]

As a fellow doctor (PhD neuroscientist here and psych professor) I actually get questions about my skin because I take good care of it. But, I spent some real money on skin products. My students don't have that tiny of money and I wanted to help them.

[@perritotecleando5519]

What products do you use?

[@candygir87528]

What do you use if you don't mind me asking?

[@lanaj1107]

I've used the timeless c serum for years and I love it. The new pump packaging is terrific. I keep mine in the fridge and my latest bottle is still crystal clear after 4 months.

[@KarenGK]

I am using the Timeless as well. This video told me it was a good choice having the higher percentage along with the Ferulic Acid.

[@sandraball7583]

Thank you for sharing your information. I am new to skin care at the age of 71. I love the sun and see what it has done to my skin is disheartening. I have been watching your videos and learning so much. Following you has been amazing. Thanks again.

[@florencepearce7782]

This presentation was so informative I sure learned things that I didn't know. Just to let you know I'm 74 years old and I really am particular about my facial products. I do use the CeraVe facial cleanser but I will be buying the CeraVe vitamin c because I have not been sure what to purchase in vitamin c but now you've explained it I am fully appreciated thank you

[@kyvidal]

LOVE your videos! I’ve been an esthetician for 6 years and I really appreciate the way you explain skincare and the new perspective it can give on knowledge I might already have and just general refreshers of the basics. You’re awesome!! Look forward to more content from you ❤️

[@kellycondrycooper]

I’m so glad I found your channel! I would love you to do a video for sensitive and rosacea prone skin care routines.

[@AllyKit]

Yes please. We watch a whole video only to find out we can’t use so many of these products, or it is not mentioned at all. A dedicated video on what we CAN use for anti-aging and skin brightening? So far I am doing well on adapalene 3x a week since I moisturize before and after. Also my skin is much less red after starting CeraVe products (niacinamide) but it could really use some brightening and exfoliation. We never get to use the good stuff like SA, AHA, BHA, Vit C etc. 😢 What can we use instead please?

[@amberkay521]

So happy to see a new video! Keep them coming. I can’t wait to watch.

[@TheBudgetDermatologist]

Thank you so much! I have a great list of topics coming your way soon :)

[@LindaJohnson-rf7kz]

You had me at budget! I would love to hear some information on rosacea, and recommendations on products and/or ingredients that are worth researching further to determine if I want to add them to my current routine. Thank you for taking the time to share this information with us!!

[@rosemaryabeldano1069]

Can you incorporate this vitamin C with Derma.E anti-wrinkle toner or Anti-wrinkle cleanser from Derma.E.Ive been using these products for some time now but you mentioned about not using Retinol .The toner and facial cleanser from DERMA.E,contain Retinol.Should I be concerned?

I like the eucerin complete care but I find the cetaphil lotion helps to moisturise and that helps too.

I love Cerave Vit. C Serum. I am 84 years old but nobody believes my age. They say I am 50 years old. I also use foam cleanser and night cream all by Cerave. Excellent products. I tried many creams but this brand works the best for me.

Soon to be 65, I hope it's not too late for a serious skincare regimen. I like what your video explained, been doing some comparisons with other online info. My dermatologist recommends the CeraVe SA cleanser but he also recommends $$$ skin products & lip fillers for fine lines and wrinkles above my upper lip, I don't want to go that route.

In this quiet week between Christmas and New Year's Day, I'm binge-watching you and learning so much! Before I found you, I had dismissed drugstore skincare products as overhyped and under-performing. Not anymore. My 2021 resolution will be to move into Target, Walmart and CVS in search of sales of your recommendations, stopping everything--even pulling the car over if necessary (lol), to watch every new video you post. This is life-altering. :)

[@caracaplinger1860]

Thank you for giving the average person the education we need amidst a sea of social media pressure to buy expensive products! Now I know what I need!

And congrats on the growth of your channel and KZbin finally realising you deserve more visibility. I've been watching your channel on and off for about 3 months and I've always thought you deserve more and that your channel would blow up one day- great to see your hard-working paying off. Hope you keep these wonderful videos coming.

Unfortunately that's how it goes with many of them. An esthetician may be better or see both of possible for you.

@@monermccarthy7198 I completely agree! I was just saying that's how it goes. I should've mentioned that these doctors are examining you it just may seem fast. Sometimes you just have to ask a question I believe most doctors have no problem giving you an answer.

Just purchased it. Let’s see how it works. Just finished a bottle of L’Oréal recitalist 12% vitamin c +e and salicylic acid … happy to try a new vit c

[@gbeana81]

The in-depth explanation with pros/cons, and what not to use it with was super helpful! I like being informed before talking to my derm about treatment options. I used to love the cerave vitamin c but stopped using it when I started following the routine my derm and I worked out. I have been thinking of adding vitamin c back in. I didn’t know it’s not good to use with benzoyl peroxide. I use retin a daily and benzoyl peroxide 3 days a week. It’s good to know that I might still be able to use vitamin c on my non-BP days. Thanks!!

[@TheBudgetDermatologist]

Glad you are getting your routine figured out. It can be a trial and error process and take a bit of time. But its so worth it in the long run!

SO SO helpful! You're clear and concise. I really appreciate your work that goes into these, can't wait to learn more! I'd love your recommendations on not only what we pit on the outside but what we put on the inside (supplements, water, etc). And any suggestions on natural oils that could be helpful in skincare (castor, E, Rosehip etc...).

I recently started tretinoin 5%, which I do every other night and fortunately I've noticed no skin irritation. I'm wondering at what point, if any, I switch over to using retinol/moisturizing in place of the tretinoin. I'm thinking to start the retinol/moisturizer on the non tretinoin days. Does that work? I'm treating thin, sun-damaged forehead skin, crows feet, and eye bags. Thanks for your great videos! Dr. Jake

I wish someone would answer this question

[@justinkade0722]

I just purchased this serum and this video helped me a lot. thanks a bunch.

[@caleb-kun]

I believe the pH of this serum is much closer to neutral (5 or 6) than is said to be ideal for most formulations of ascorbic acid (2-4). Cerave doesn’t disclose the pH, and when asked says that “the pH is not a measure of a product’s efficacy.” What do you think of this?

[@TheBudgetDermatologist]

You're exactly right. Most brands will not disclose their pH. They are not required to for cosmetics such as these. pH is not the only factor that determines the efficacy. Other ingredients and formulation technology can also alter the penetration.
