    Waiting for international shipping to open so I can buy everything she sells me! Seriously. Iā€™m blown away by how informative she is in all her videos.
  • @andreamrelitz
    God I love this woman. Not only have you made the absolute best product (including the container!) but it's also no where near as expensive as other brands. I'm so grateful and hope you are so so blessed Dr Shereene! šŸ„°
  • It would be very helpful to have some tips from you for the women who are going in menopause because skin is one of the first thing which will be affected, please do a video about it!! Thank you šŸ„°šŸ™šŸ˜Š
  • @TheMothernerd
    I used to buy the super expensive l-ascorbic acid serums until I found the CeraVe one. It's amazing and doesn't degrade because the packaging is airtight. I LOVE it!
  • @leanne0145
    If anyone is looking for a less expensive THD serum, Vanicream has one for sensitive skin for about $20. I just bought it, so I don't know about the results. But, it has a 5% concentration of THD ascorbate and ceramides, and it comes in an opaque tube with a pump. It's definitely missing the bells and whistles that the pillow talk one has, but I'm still excited to try it.
  • Literally obsessed with every damn word that comes out of her mouth, my gal, my guru and the actually ā€œbombā€ of skincare! Listen up bitches, sheā€™s the one!! šŸ™ŒšŸ½
  • @quelbelle6148
    My virtual skincare bestie. So solid, so genuineā€¦why am I just now finding you? I needlessly tortured myself through all the other popular channels and still left confused by their content and annoyed by their personalities. Oh well, thatā€™s done. Many effusive thanks!
  • @blacktiger2154
    I would love a video on which other active ingredients you can combine or use in the same days as each different form of vitamin c!
  • Dr. Shereene, can you please do a video on pregnancy skincare for the body and face? What is is safe and what should be avoided? And common misconceptions about skin and pregnancy ex stretch marks, sun spots, discoloration, mineral vs chemical sunscreen? There is so much conflicting information and the pressure to switch to all ā€œcleanā€ beauty while being pregnant and I would love to hear your thoughts.
  • Dr. Sherreene, where have you been all my life?! You are amazing.
  • @neresq
    My hubby and I use - and LOVE - the Maelove GlowMaker, which seems to be a dupe of Skinceuticals, but for only $30.
  • @ktakea76
    Such a helpful breakdown! One serum I love with Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (with 3% Vitamin E and 2% Ferulic Acid) is Peter Thomas Rothā€™s Potent-C Power Serum. It has a high vitamin C percentage at 20%, but Iā€™ve never found it irritating and I have relatively skin. I think it is because of all the moisturizers. It feels nice on the skinā€”and itā€™s not sticky like Skinceuticals. It also comes in a pump. Only downside is that it can separate after youā€™ve had it a while. Not sure if that means itā€™s losing potency or not.
  • @akirebara
    Was wondering what she thought about Maelove. Iā€™ve been using it for 6 months now. I really can see the brightness of my skin!
  • Hi Dr. Idriss! Can you please do a video on propolis, its purpose, and its pros/cons? I like it because I do feel like it boosts radiance, but it sometimes irritates my sensitive/reactive skin. Iā€™d love to learn more about the ingredient and how/if I should incorporate it into my routine. Thank you!šŸ˜Š
  • @almaalma3871
    Dr. I love all your helpful videos. I lives in Miami Fl as you know the sun can b brutal here, and sometimes is hard to find Doctors that are motivated to give good advice and recommendations. You have no idea how much you have helped me all those years ( I discovered your Chanel during Covid) and learned so much ever since. šŸ™šŸ„°
  • Singularly the best round up of the Vit C subject matter. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge in such a comprehensive yet understandable way.
  • @SwissyAthena
    I have been a fan of yours for years and used your original Vitamin C video as my bible. Happy to see this is a refresher. I religiously use SkinCeuticals and for anyone who uses itā€” I purchased an airless makeup serum pump, and fill it with the product and refrigerate it, which makes a profound difference. If anyone is purchasing this make sure you purchase the darker tinted bottles not clear. When I am finished with the product I clean and sanitize it and then add my next bottle. Going to now try Pillow Talk! Congrats on launching your line.
  • I feel like nobody is talking about rosacea and combination skin, also Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea - what are the best treatments, care? if you donā€™t have dry skin and red swollen bumpsā€¦ - I guess never mind about other types of rosaceaā€¦if possible it would be really nice to get some advice for us with milder types ā¤
  • @susanb3989
    Loreal revitalift is a drugstore brand, containing the shelf stable Tetradexyl vit c, and Iā€™ve been using it for years. Only 10% which is great for my sensitive skin.
  • @emmadelavie
    I finally gave up on using Ascorbic acid on my dry/semi-sensitive skin and itā€™s so much happier. I started using Bubbleā€™s vitamin c and like it so far (and itā€™s in a pump! Win šŸ˜Š).
