@@MK-bi8wl Sure, The Ordinary recommends using their Vitamin C Suspension in the evening, as it needs more time to absorb into the skin. Using it during the day may lead to oxidation, resulting in dark, uneven patches. Therefore, use Niacinamide in the morning and alternate between your Retinol and Vitamin C Suspension in the evening. Also, don't forget to apply sunscreen during the day if you have sun exposure.

While it shouldn't clog your pores, it's not the most suitable for oily skin. I would recommend using a serum like The Ordinary's Ascorbyl Glucoside (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZ52otSLy77ZY6s.html) or their 30% Vitamin C Suspension in Silicon (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fMdoe9WVnb6Yomw.html).

@chrizzlybearlol 6 ай бұрын

Why does the ordinary and you suggest to use it in the evening? Other sources mainly dermatologists say to take it in the morning. Is this due to formulation?

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 6 ай бұрын

While there is no substantial research on using vitamin C serums in the morning, the evidence we have is mostly anecdotal, based on theories of potential benefits. It is commonly suggested that vitamin C provides antioxidant benefits, making it beneficial for morning use. However, other antioxidants, such as Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid, are also involved. These can theoretically stabilize vitamin C, although the accuracy of this effect on the skin remains uncertain. Given the sensitivity of pure ascorbic acid formulations to sunlight, air, and heat, it might be better to use them in the evening when these elements are less prevalent. I regularly receive comments about skin discoloration when these formulations are used during the daytime. The exact cause is unclear, but it could be a reaction to layering with other products or excessive exposure to daylight, among other factors.

Hello... So if i use vitamin C suspension one day and niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and retinol the next, is that a fine routine? And i am sorry if i am dumb but where should i add the glycolic acid?😅 I slowly incorporated it on every alternative night but adding vitamin C seems to be ruining my whole routine 🥹

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Жыл бұрын

here are several possibilities. One could look like this: AM: Clean face. Pat dry. Apply hyaluronic acid. Wait for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Apply niacinamide. If you have sun exposure, use sunscreen. PM1: Clean face with a gentle, non-exfoliating acid cleanser. Pat dry. Apply glycolic acid. Wait for 1-2 minutes. Apply hyaluronic acid. PM2: Clean face with a gentle, non-exfoliating acid cleanser. Pat dry. Apply hyaluronic acid. Wait for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Apply retinol. PM3: Clean face with a gentle, non-exfoliating acid cleanser. Pat dry. Apply hyaluronic acid. Wait for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Apply vitamin C suspension. So, you basically have three different evening routines. This way, you won't overwhelm the skin but still reap all the benefits. However, remember to adjust the frequency according to your personal needs.

Are you referring to the Vitamin C suspension I showed in the video? Or did you purchase the one in this link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fMdoe9WVnb6Yomw.html Regardless, while you technically could use them twice a day, due to their high strength and the use of pure Ascorbic Acid, I recommend using them only once per day, preferably in the evening. This approach has worked best based on my experience.

Hey! 😊 The order of application is correct; however, I recommend not using The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner and Vitamin C Suspension together in the same routine, as this combination can be quite potent and may lead to skin sensitivities. Instead, use both in the evening but on alternate days. Regarding Niacinamide and Vitamin C, avoid using them in the same routine. Use Niacinamide in the AM; you may also want to use it alongside your Hyaluronic acid serum and save the Vitamin C Suspension for the PM routine.

I suggest using it on its own, especially since it can be quite smeary, to make sure it doesn't interfere with your vitamin C.

Well, it could potentially be too harsh for your skin, resulting in increased dryness. Do you currently have a moisturizer or a hyaluronic acid serum that you could use in conjunction with it? Alternatively, you may need to switch to a water-based formulation, as they tend to be better absorbed and generally less potent. For instance, you could try The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution, which is a good vitamin C derivative.

Hey! :) Well, the mouth area can be more sensitive compare to the rest of the face (I have this too along the nose down to the mouth). So, the Vitamin C Suspension is way too strong for you (or maybe Ascorbic Acid in general). You would need to test different strengths and formulations to figure this out.

Yes, understanding the different formulations is important. This particular formulation is water-free, and it tends to sit on the skin's surface. From my experience, it is best used in the evening, on its own. This is because you're not exposed to sunlight, excessive heat, or other layered ingredients, such as sunscreen, which could potentially interact with it. Such interactions may result in dark patches on your skin, or the product may have no effect at all. In the morning, I recommend using a Vitamin C serum, such as The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%, and applying your retinol in the evening. Here's a suggested routine: AM: Clean your face. Pat it dry. Apply the Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%. Wait 30-60 seconds. Apply sunscreen if you're going to be exposed to the sun. PM: Clean your face. Pat it dry. Apply retinol. Wait 1-2 minutes. Apply your favorite moisturizer.
