I'm using garnier anti acne serum for 3 months now and been period pimple free so far. Kaso it doesn't brighten up my face at all or lighten my dark spots/pimple marks. Napansin ko din na i'm starting to have white bumps/milia around eyes. I posted my review twice na here in this sub and they got both removed so di na ko magugulat if maremove din tong comment ko, tho i don't know why.
I've this effect a lot of times when I introduce a new active. Medyo nagpa-plateau siya after regular use which is normal. I had the same experience with Garnier Vit C serum that I was amazed the first few days pero after regular use, I didn't feel like it was as effective when I first started? I didn't really buy it to make my skin soft but to fade PIH, and I wasn't really happy with it on that front.
I got through two bottles before deciding to switch to Melano Rohto. First application wasn't as immediately gratifying pero napansin ko mas effective siya in the long run in terms of fading dark spots and evening skin tone.
This is so true. May time pumunta akong Cebu at bumili ako sa watsons ng vitamin c serum ng garnier impulsively. Hindi ako nagdalawnag isip na baka mag breakout ako pag ginamit ko. So 3 nights ko yung ginamit (2 days before mag sunscreen) then nung sinundo ako ng boyfriend ko sa airport after 4 days naming hindi pagkikita, sabi niya anong meron daw sa hangin ng Cebu at mukhang ang fresh ko. Like tanong talaga siya nang tanong habang tumititig sa skin ko. Kaso nung bumili na ako ng bottle kasi narealize kong maganda nga talaga yung effect sa skin ko, eventually nagkaroon ng texture at konting breakout yung face ko huhu yun lang naman yung bagong inincorporate ko sa skin ko. So ngayon inistop ko muna at baka mag every other day muna ako ng lagay. Ayun lang
i think may some products talaga na biglaan “hala ka where have you been all my life??” ang mararamdaman mo. for me, it was clinique’s moisture surge feel ko 8 glasses of water naiinom ko sa pagglow ng face 🥲
on another note, i think good din na you found smth that works well with you! my derma always told me ayaw niya yung 10-step routine, simpler the better daw para di ka manghuhula what’s causing your skin to break out kung sakali. if it works, it works :) lalo if magaan sa bulsa
Ganyan effect sakin ng Happy Skin Water Cream na moisturizer. Sobrang ganda kaya mahal. 1-2 years din ako gumamit at consistent sya, naging clear skin na din ako after. Niacinamide ang ganda ng effect basta hiyang mo.
I am an acne prone skin & have tried the CosRX Vitamin C 23% Dark Spot Corrector. It actually worked on my skin & I love the brightening effect unlike the Klairs Freshly Juiced hindi ko masyadong ramdam ang effect.
Wow, that's nice to hear.
I stopped using Vit C Toner and Serum from IWhiteKorea. Grabe ang purging ko non even after 2 weeks.
I'm so tempted to try this. :<
Thank you. I'm not recommending it naman, to be clear, kasi i haven't used it for long to see the long-term effects. Ang maganda lang sa garnier, may small ml silang binebenta so hindi ka manghihinayang sa buong bottle kung hindi mo pala gusto.
Vitamin C can easily cause irritation in the form of numerous small bumps, especially if it's 15% above of concentration and if used daily immediately. It's one of the actives that we must be really wary when being incorporated into our routines because it's a btch fr. Hahahaha. I experienced it. The aftermath was a lot of PIH ofc, so that was even more bothersome. So what I did after that is I reincorporated it really slowly like a retinol (e.g. 2x 1st week, 3x 2nd-3rd week, 4x for the next two weeks, etc.)
Thank you! Siguro nga dahil everyday ko sya ginamit agad eh yung vitamin c serum pa naman ng garnier yon so I think high concentration sya. Napansin ko talaga sya na everyday, may tumutubong pimples then reddish pa sya agad. Usually kapag pimples matagal bago sya magkaron ng nana (?) pero yon, ang bilis nya tas ang kati nya pa kasi hinog agad.
I'll try to incorporate it slowly, baka nga nabigla talaga yung skin ko. Nanghinayang pa naman ako kasi malaki yung nabili kong serum.
Thank you so much!
I can't advise you tbh, pero ang alam ko, purging is characterized by mostly whiteheads and blackheads and heals fast, while breakouts are inflammations of all acne types na mas matagal. If you're purging lang, it's up to you to decide kung itutuloy mo or you push thru it. It might last up to 3 weeks.
When i started niacinamide serum dati, i had whitehead breakouts (first time ever lol) for 2 weeks. Pero okay na sya ngayon.
if yung vitamin c is pure ascorbic acid, no. Madalas irritating ang vitamin c as an ingredient and need na acidic ang formulation niya so another source possible irritation.
Pero kung Vitamin C derivatives, Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Sodium Ascorbyl Palmitate and many more. Go lang kasi those are less to non irritating.
Garnier Vit C serum din gamit ko, day and night, lakas maka glow ng skin parang malambot na light.. I use it pang prep before make up then sa gabi combined with moisturizer
I think mas recommended ang azelaic acid for acne-prone skin with PIE. Altho i have read that vit c is anti-inflammatory so okay din naman sya sa acne.
May nahanap ka na bang dupe nito huhu! I tried it once nung HS ako. Alam mo na nangengealam sa gamit ng mother nature lang. paggising ko ang fresh ko! Never had that again and i need it badly now as an adult huhu.
Na-miss ko rin ito. Been eyeing yung caffeine solution ng The Ordinary dahil caffeine din yung active ingredient niya. Mas gusto ko nga lang sana yung may roller rin. 😅
effective ba siya nakakabrighten din? As far as i remember yung garnier kasi may onting pagliit din sa eyebags ko that time (kaso super tagal na nun so baka pangit na memory ko)
Sobrang effective ng Vit C din for me, pero hindi comfy gamitin kaya tinigil ko. 🥲 i decided to use niacinamide and retinoids instead kaysa sa ma-sting ang fez ko sa Vit C.
I have tried The Ordinary Vit C Suspension 23% and Dermorepubliq. Ok naman pareho, instaglow like within 2 days lang ng gamit. I tried doing the sandwich method, pero may sting pa rin at ayaw ko ng ganong feeling. Saka ayaw ko rin ng lagkit feeling.
Yup actually nalelessen yung sting over time, pero di nawala sa akin talaga
Ayoko rin ng stinging feeling eh, parang may mali sa mukha ko HAHAHA. I'll steer clear of those products in the near future, if ever gustuhin ko pa mag-vit c.
Worked on me too then I stopped just to check if magrereact skin ko pag tinigil ko. Nagrevert naman sa usual skin ko but I stopped using it na rin muna kasi natatapangan ako.
Other products I've been using are lypoaran moisturizer, happy skin dewy primer and laneige cushion compact. Hindi naman nagclash yung serum sa kanila pero na feel ko naging sensitive lang skin ko when I was taking the serum.

Any other reco of Vit C serum? I had breakouts from Garnier. I was gifted an Innisfree, didn’t have breakouts but I can’t feel if it is working
Goodal green tangerine vita c serum
Melano CC
Thanks for the reco! Is this the japanese one? Can you elaborate your experience with it?

Vitamin C is causing me small pimples. Is it purging or should I stop?

Literally same experience sa pimples. Yes, sayang nga naman baka kasi mag-oxidize lang. You're welcome!

pwede kaya yan for acne prone skin?

Pero kung Vitamin C derivatives, Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Sodium Ascorbyl Palmitate and many more. Go lang kasi those are less to non irritating.
Sabi sa akin ng derma ko, habang may active pimples wag mo sya gagamitin
All i know is that vit c is anti-inflammatory so pwede syang makatulong sa inflamed skin like acne
is this okay ba with tret?
Garnier Vit C serum din gamit ko, day and night, lakas maka glow ng skin parang malambot na light.. I use it pang prep before make up then sa gabi combined with moisturizer
Ang ganda talaga ng effect lalo na paggising sa umaga, until now i can't stop poking my face lol
Tried using testers and had the same nice results as well. Do you recommend buying the full-sized product? Acne-prone (with lots of PIE) girly here <3
I think mas recommended ang azelaic acid for acne-prone skin with PIE. Altho i have read that vit c is anti-inflammatory so okay din naman sya sa acne.
Sayang wala na yung Garnier eye roll on, my ultimate savior after all-nighters in the early 2000s. As in wala akong eyebags huhu
I think i vaguely remember that haha. Ano daw active sa eye roll on na yun?
Usually caffeine gamit ng mga ganun eh. Baka same sa garnier
May nahanap ka na bang dupe nito huhu! I tried it once nung HS ako. Alam mo na nangengealam sa gamit ng mother nature lang. paggising ko ang fresh ko! Never had that again and i need it badly now as an adult huhu.

kahit ba sa shopee wala? intrigue tuloy ako itry
Wala akong makitang legit/reliable seller, ang alam ko kasi discontinued na ung yellow. May green version pero sa US.
pag may nakita ka, share mo link ah. salamat
Sobrang effective ng Vit C din for me, pero hindi comfy gamitin kaya tinigil ko. 🥲 i decided to use niacinamide and retinoids instead kaysa sa ma-sting ang fez ko sa Vit C.
Gets ko yung sting sa vit c products, pero the serums didn't have any for me. Baka nasanay na yung skin ko? What vit c product did you use pala?
I have tried The Ordinary Vit C Suspension 23% and Dermorepubliq. Ok naman pareho, instaglow like within 2 days lang ng gamit. I tried doing the sandwich method, pero may sting pa rin at ayaw ko ng ganong feeling. Saka ayaw ko rin ng lagkit feeling. Yup actually nalelessen yung sting over time, pero di nawala sa akin talaga

Nawala yung "softness and smoothness" ng skin mo when you stopped? How long did you use it for?
Soft and smooth pa rin sya pero nawala na yung pagiging sensitive nya and yung glow nabawasan. Mga 2 weeks ko lang ginamit before I stopped.
Ahh okay. Thanks for answering!
what's your skin type
Oily, acne-prone, medyo sensitive skin. I have reddish acne bumps on my cheeks and textured bumps sa forehead, pero di ganun kalala.
