Most Popular Skincare Ingredient: Which Vitamin C to use
15
items Vitamin C comes in so many different forms. In this list, I'll name my favorites from serums to cream, from affordable to splurge, and list the main Vitamin C ingredient and any additional players. Side note: apparently all vitamin C smells bad, that...
Main Ingredient: 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid. Very stable Vitamin C, less irritating than L-absorbic acid vit C's, overall gentle on skin. Dermatologist-Developed
if you have rosacea or easily irritated
Main Ingredient: Tetrahexyldecyl (THD) + ferulic acid + peptides. safe for eczema girlies; very gentle, and stable vitamin C
if you have eczema
Active Ingredients: 15% L-ascorbic acid, vitamin E, + ferulic acid. IMO: retails for around $185… why? Bc it has the most potent form of vitamin C but is patented design to remain stable in combination with other great antioxidants. Do I think it's worth the price? Ultimately, no. I was fortunate enough to receive this product twice after a conference, and I've finished one bottle and am currently working through my second. I noticed it boosts the effects of my azelaic acid in t...
Is this worth $185?
Active: THD. Definetly the most gentle and the least irritating. Vanicream is great for sensitive skin. Like many vitamin c creams the smell is off. This does have a not so pleasant smell in my opinion but proves they don't use any fragrances to mask...
if you have sensitive skin
Active: Ascorbyl Glucoside. The amount 1.8% is equivalent to the potency of L-absorbic acid at 20% . Less irritating then L-absorbic acid but I think Vanicream and Remedy may be better for sensitive skin. Less important, but I prefer vitamin c serum ...
if want to play it safe
Active: L-abscorbic Acid + Ferulic Acid + Ergothioneine
A potential dupe to the SkinCeuticals and far more affordable <$30. Instead of Vitamin E, ergothioneine is used as an antioxidant instead. This ingredient also allows the vit c to be more stable at a less acidic pH. It will have a smell, that's expected. Its dermatologist developed. The shelf life is apparently ...
$185 dupe
Active: Ascorbyl Glucoside plus Peptides and Hyaluronic acid. This is if you want a simple skin care routine. Im always surprised by L'oreal bc I never expect reach for their products but I love this and the other product in my acne list. It goes on so smooth, and is like a mi...
If your confused, here's an all in one
Main: L- Ascorbic Acid. Also contains hydrolyzed collagen and a patented micro-peptide. because the hydrolyzed collagen molecules are too large for your pores, it will instead sit on your skin surface locking in moisture, creating plump skin appearan...
if you want glowy, plump skin
Active: THD + Vitamin E + 19 different antioxidants. Price point is bc it is medical-grade skincare. Once again got this item at a conference. Has a bronze creamy look to it barely any smell. Better suited for mature skin and will improve appearance ...
