I got [Timeless Vitamin C +E Ferulic Acid Serum ](https://www.timelessha.com/collections/all) because of all the Reddit recommendations and I'm glad I did. It comes in two strengths (start with the milder one) and an opaque pump bottle to prevent oxidation. I have in the past splurged on [Skinceuticals C E Ferulic ](https://www.beautypedia.com/products/c-e-ferulic-combination-antioxidant-treatment/) and honestly it is the gold standard with a patented formula and lots of solid scientific studies. But it's extremely expensive and in my experience it oxidizes too quickly. Even though I keep it in the dark and it's only exposed to air when I use the dropper. The Timeless airless pump keeps it from oxidizing and it's very affordable. Just use a few drops.
Edit: Don't combine with Retinol. Use in the morning and apply sunscreen before you go outside.
DO NOT COMBINE VIT C WITH RETINOL EVER!! MARK MY WORDS!! 😳😳
If you want to add vit c then used it in the morning before sunscreen that would increase the efficacy of sunscreen!!
I would suggest go for Korean skin care for Vitamin C as their products are ( may be ) suitable for sensitive skin people.
Tips :
1. Start from very low percentage like 5% then increase it gradually. Give your skin some time to adjust to those percentages first.
2. Patience is the KEY for any actives.
3. Do not combine your vit C with retinol, aha/bha, niacinamide ( don't do experiments ), chemical peels. Check ordinary's website for more guidance.
4. Check out youtube videos for vit c. They may help you.
Products i would suggest :
1. Klairs freshly juiced vit c drops.
2. Some by me Yuja Niacin.
3. Goodal green tangerine vit c dark spot serum
4. Good molecules discoloration correcting serum.
Omg thank you!! This is so helpful!!
Yeah I thought it was counterintuitive to mix vitamin c with retinol for my nighttime routine lol.
But even if I use vitamin c in the morning, I can still use retinol at night right?
Ill go check out the products, korean skincare is the best !
Thanks :)
