Vitamin C Serum.

"My recommendation for vitamin C, especially if you have rosacea, sensitive skin, or if you're a beginner, is Vanicream Vitamin C Serum. This one's designed for sensitive skin. It's a stable Vitamin C Serum that brightens the complexion without any irritation. It will help prevent that oxidative damage that can worsen rosacea symptoms. It is super lightweight, non-greasy, absorbs really easily. The key ingredient is Tetra hexyl ascorbate, or THD, 5%, which is a lipid-soluble form of vitamin C that penetrates deeply, promoting collagen synthesis and providing antioxidant benefits. It's gentle, stable, not acidic, so it's ideal for really sensitive rosacea skin. It also contains ceramides which will help reinforce the skin's natural barrier, locking in that moisture and protecting against external irritants. It has glycerin which draws moisture into the skin, ensuring it remains hydrated, soft, and smooth."

"If your skin is really sensitive, I would recommend starting with Vanicream Vitamin C. This is only about $20. The active ingredient in this one is tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate or THD ascorbate 5%. This is the gentlest form of vitamin C that will not irritate even the most sensitive skin. This is a lipid soluble vitamin C that will penetrate deep into the pores. It will provide antioxidant benefits, stimulate collagen synthesis, it is highly stable and non-acidic, so it is appropriate for even the most sensitive skin types. The Vanicream Vitamin C also contains some ceramides which will help restore a natural barrier and lock in the moisture, as well as glycerin which will draw moisture into the skin and plump the skin a little bit."

"Vanicream Vitamin C Serum is very gentle, will brighten the skin, stimulate collagen production, help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It's formulated with a stable, very good for sensitive skin, THD ascorbate, which is less likely to irritate most sensitive skin. Also enhances the skin barrier strength with ceramides and offers antioxidant protection from the THD ascorbate. The key ingredient is tetrahexyl ascorbate or THD at 5%. It has ceramides and glycerin. [...] As a dermatologist who suffers from rosacea, I've tried a lot of vitamin C's and my skin is sensitive, but some days I can tolerate other forms and other days I just can't and I have to go for my THD ascorbate."

"My recommendation for really sensitive skin is the Vanicream Vitamin C Serum. This is drugstore, affordable, typically used in the morning. You want to apply this on clean skin with sunscreen on top. Vitamin C serums are designed to gently brighten the skin, stimulate collagen production, help your sunscreen work better, help that appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This particular one is formulated with THD ascorbate, which is really stable form of vitamin C. It's really good for that really sensitive, irritation prone skin. It will help enhance the skin barrier strength with ceramides while also offering that antioxidant protection against all the daily environmental UV factors that you encounter. The key ingredient is not your typical [L-ascorbic] acid. It's tetrahexyl desolorbate or THD at 5%. It also contains ceramide and glycerin."

"They also came out with a Vitamin C Serum that's pretty good, not the most elegant, and it is a derivative, but you can say the derivative of vitamin C are gentler for those with rosacea."

"I've been actually liking Vanicream's Vitamin C Serum. I was actually surprised it came out with one, but this one is a vitamin C derivative."

"I'm glad Vanicream came out with a Vitamin C Serum. It's a great brand that's underestimated, so good for those with sensitive skin. [...] The Vitamin C Serum is a derivative of vitamin C, it's not ascorbic acid, and so it's quite gentle, quite good for those with sensitivities. It's pretty stable and it has ceramides in this one. I've been enjoying this one a lot since it came out. Vanicream products are free of dyes, fragrance, masking fragrance, lanoline, parabens, formaldehyde releasers. [...] This one does not have any lanolin or wool alcohol, so this is a very reliable brand."

"Vitamin C serums are special because you can use them in the morning you can use them at night too but I always say use your vitamin C in the morning after you cleanse. Vitamin C and they have other antioxidants many times will neutralize free radical damage from pollution and sunlight. [...] Four to five drops could really help protect the face help with dark spots. [...] Sometimes ascorbic acid, the active form of vitamin C, can cause irritation in the skin especially if you have rosacea but Vanicream has used a vitamin C derivative to help make it gentler on the skin, more stable, doesn't oxidize as readily. I love it, it's actually really nice, my patients like it, not irritating the skin."

"Vanicream has a Vitamin C Serum which is interesting because they've used tetrahexodiciliscorbate. It comes in a very lightweight serum, very watery. Only one drop goes a long way. There is no scent to it and you can use it up to twice a day. This one retails for 18. If you are somebody who wants something very light, you can actually use this slightly under your eyes but you do not need to go and invest in a majorly expensive eye cream. If you are prone to comedones, I probably would not do this."

"Vanicream has one for $21, it is a Vitamin C Serum. [...] Unlike for example this one, it doesn't have the peptides that this has, but it is a great option to incorporate underneath a sunscreen. You can use it in the morning, it is suitable for sensitive skin, and for $21 it is a great add-on into your routine."

"Vanicream has a beautiful Vitamin C Serum where they utilize a vitamin C ester also known as Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, this is a form of vitamin C that is safe to use for people with sensitive skin. It is also fragrance-free, so if you're sensitive to fragrance fear not, and you can use it up to twice a day, even in combination with a retinol."

"If you have super sensitive skin and you cannot tolerate L-ascorbic acid as your form of topical vitamin C, then I also really like the Vanicream Vitamin C, which uses tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate. This is a fat-soluble form of vitamin C. It's not nearly as well studied as L-ascorbic acid, but I still think it has a role as a topical antioxidant. I like this serum because it's creamy. It's formulated with ceramides, and so it feels a little bit more moisturizing and rich than your average antioxidant serum."

"This uses 5% THD ascorbate as the vitamin C in here and is a really nice creamy almost milky serum. In addition to that vitamin C derivative, this also has some really nice ceramides in there, so I almost think of this as like the lightest possible weight lotion you could use that has vitamin C. I find this to be really gentle on the skin, it feels good going on, and also it's incredibly affordable like this thing is under $20. If you're new to vitamin C and you're really concerned about it causing irritation or you've had problems with other vitamin C formulas in the past, go with this one. Budget vitamin C's are few and far between and especially budget vitamin C's that are actually good, but I would consider this a winner."

"For me it's this one by Vanicream, the Vitamin C Serum. This contains 5% tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a form of vitamin C which is the most stable and the least irritating, so I love this for the skin. If you have sensitive skin, you are new to vitamin C, start here. You cannot go wrong."

"5% Vanicream, 10% CeraVe, 15% Bishi or even 20% from Neutrogena or RoC that are packaged in individual doses, these are some of my favorite budget vitamin C serums that really work from the drugstore."

"I have actually a whole separate video highlighting this product, it's by Vanicream, their Vitamin C Serum, 5% THD ascorbate in this one. It's an option if you're looking for a Vitamin C Serum that's not quite as expensive as the Peter Thomas Roth but with that form of vitamin C in it, which is actually hard to find."

"If you have never used any vitamin C at all before and you're not sure if you can tolerate this powerhouse product, it is totally okay to start low and go slow and then build up to this as tolerated. The fact that this has THD and they tell us the exact percentage that is in this product and it's priced extremely well is truly amazing. That is so hard to find. The overall formulation here is budget dermatologist approved because it is a simple, simple formulation without a bunch of added ingredients to potentially bother your skin. This is a no-brainer for very sensitive skin people. It also contains five types of ceramides in it, which is going to strengthen and moisturize your skin barrier. It's very simple: no fragrance, no essential oils, no dyes, no parabens. A simple formulation for sensitive skin people. The consistency is milky, very lightweight, and it absorbs nearly instantly. I just use one to two pumps for the entire face and any of your skincare products will wear so nicely over this, even makeup, because this is truly so thin, so lightweight and it absorbs rapidly. It is weightless on the skin with no film, no tackiness, no residue left behind. You can easily apply the rest of your skincare routine products right over this, even makeup, without any issues."

"If you want something a little more gentle than this and a lot more affordable than this, I recommend Vanicream 5% Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate form of their Vitamin C Serum. It's under $20."

"This has 5% THD in it, it has ceramides, and it is fragrance-free. Five percent is enough to get the benefits, and this one is the top recommendation for me for those people who have the most sensitive of skin who want to really dip their toe in the vitamin C skincare world. It's very affordable, it's low strength, and it is a great formulation. It's less than $20."

"Bare Bones Vitamin C Serum that basically contains THD ascorbate and a ton of different types of ceramides. Ceramides you can think of as the glue that holds your skin cells, the bricks, together, so it helps your skin perform its main function of being a tight impermeable barrier. It helps with skin barrier function but it also helps with your skin holding on to and retaining water by making sure that you don't get that transepidermal water loss. The Vanicream one is a great option for those of you who want an affordable Bare Bones THD ascorbate based vitamin C that gets the job done without breaking the bank."

"The Vanicream Vitamin C Serum is a really great affordable option. It's THD ascorbate based and goes on like a lightweight serum so it's hydrating enough that I don't have to use an additional serum or moisturizer in the morning."

"I really love this product. I love that it was easily accessible, pretty affordable. The formula is great, it's hydrating, and finally a vitamin C derivative that's lipid soluble that's stable that works well. It's also great for those with sensitive and dry skin. It's literally a milky, lightweight serum that is hydrating, non-sticky, but it has THD ascorbate that's lipid soluble, a lot more stable than pure vitamin C, better suited for sensitive skin, but also has antioxidant benefits and may help to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and help even out skin tone. If you have dry and sensitive skin or just looking for a good, affordable Vitamin C Serum without breaking the bank, this is a must try."

"Vanicream's new Vitamin C Serum [...] is wonderful and affordable, retailing for about $19 to $20 in drugstores. Vanicream is a line that was made for those who are eczema prone, have sensitive skin and rosacea, so their ingredients already are devoid of common allergens and irritants that individuals with sensitive skin and rosacea often can't tolerate. This serum is simple and elegant and contains the active THD ascorbate formulation of vitamin C, which is better suited for individuals with more sensitive skin. Texture-wise, this is a lightweight white milky creamy serum. It's [...] stable, [...] absorbs quickly, and is non-sticky, so I think it's really suitable for all skin types. Certainly if you have sensitive and dry skin, I think this is a great one, but even if you have more oily and combination skin, because of how quickly it absorbs, I think it can also be suitable for those individuals as well."

"Vanicream has a milky lightweight serum that's not watery but it's still more hydrating than a watery vitamin C. It contains THD ascorbic acid along with ceramides, and Vanicream is just a great line, especially if you have eczema-prone, sensitive skin, or rosacea-prone skin."

"For a THD ascorbate vitamin C, an affordable one is from Vanicream. THD ascorbate formulas tend to be creamy rather than watery serums, so they're better tolerated for sensitive skin, and they have great brightening and antioxidant benefits and help improve [...] skin texture and tone."

"Vanicream recently came out with a Vitamin C Serum which I felt a twinge of disappointment about, I was not blown out of the water by it."

"They came out with a Vitamin C Serum last year, which I reviewed for you guys. It's obviously not a product that I personally use or find necessary to go out of my way to incorporate into my routine."

"Vanicream came out with a Vitamin C Serum for sensitive skin using THD, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, at five percent instead of ascorbic acid. THD is oil soluble and a lot more stable than ascorbic acid, so it's easier to formulate into a product that's moisturizing and not irritating, and it can be used alongside retinol, tretinoin, azelaic acid, vitamin E and other forms of vitamin C. This also has ceramides and glycerin in it. The consistency is very lightweight, watery and thin, there's no odor, and it spreads on the skin easily and evenly. I think choosing to go with THD was smart here, because it's likely less irritating and easier to work with than ascorbic acid, and if you've got very sensitive skin, eczema, rosacea or melasma and you don't tolerate ascorbic acid, I think this would be a good option for you. But do you actually need this? No, this is not necessary, the research to support the efficacy of THD is very very limited, so don't expect this to give you a wrinkle smoothing effect, improve collagen, or necessarily even improve hyperpigmentation."
