Great!!! One more excellent video that´s help a lot! Hey I got this opportunit to wish a Mery Christmas to all DERMTV team and to DR. Schultz.
Thank u sooooo much!!!!!
@tatianathaller Thank you for the holiday wishes! I also hope that you and the rest of the community have a very nice holiday and a happy new year as well!
I wasn’t aware of that!
Luckily, that’s what I have been doing!
The cream I use contains olive leaf extract as its main antioxidant. I chose it because it is said to be one of the most potent sources of antioxidants, more so than green tea. Is there anything more recommendable? what antioxidants should I look out for in creams? Thanks!
As I was reading the comments, I noticed that I should have mentioned that applying antioxidants during the day isn’t a waste. It will just result in the antioxidant acting like another sunscreen instead of acting like an antioxidant as described in this episode. (Note: I don’t suggest you replace your sunscreen with antioxidants and just using a sunscreen is enough.)
THAAANKS
Thank you very much. I wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year.
I wasn’t aware of this! Thank you very much! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!
I have a question-honey all natural works well for keeps my skin pretty clear,could there be any effects?Skin damage,things like that?Thanks so much!and nice channel.
he must be talking about pale people black skinned people need sun tan lotion i dnt think so we were built with it already
Wow! This information makes lots of sense! Thank you! :0)
You are great and you present the info so clearly. I was wondering what you think of oxygen creams or oxygen delivery systems in skincare that claim to bring ingredients, such as antioxidants, deeper into the skin. Are such products beneficial at all or would the oxygen render the antioxidants ineffective?
@tsondusangmo: Thank you for your kind words. As you guessed, I don’t believe oxygen creams or oxygen delivery systems are effective and am happy to review any critical research that indicates they are.
I really dont know what topical antioxidants are.
@Quiteinfamous – google it.
whats the best antioxidant with vitamin C ?
Thanks doctor, i really enjoyed most of your vedios. I have a question about VitaminC is that can lemon or orange juice be used on skin as skin lightening or could it be an antioxidant
Hello Dr Shultz, your videos are amazing, thank you for all of your information! What type or brand of antioxidants do you recommend? I am using a 10% glycolic acid with licorice root every other night and Aminogenesis Cocoon (moisturizing emollient) in the morning after cleansing with Aminogenesis really really clean. Also, is it damaging to skin to treat back acne with BP? Thank you very much again, take care!
@FAMILY20030 I prefer formulations of Vitamin C that contain tetrahexadecylascorbate or methylsilanolascorbate.
@SAROOONA77 Lemon and lime juice contain a derivative of oil of pergamot, one of the most photo-sensitizing chemicals known to man. Accordingly, application of either of these to your skin and then exposing your skin to any type of sunlight causes very dark stains. Regarding orange juice, neither the form of Vitamin C nor its concentration in orange juice can act as a topical antioxidant or bleach. But it tastes good!
Ive been seriously wondering what products to use as antioxidants. D:
how can I incorparate a vitamin C serum in my skin care if I’m using Differin (Adapalene) at nights?? what do you think about SkinCeuticals, products that contain L-ascorbic Acid?? can you recommed a couple products?
where can i get a topical antioxidant?
hi, i use a homemade toner of cider vinegar, green tea and lemon juice, would that be enough of my anti oxidant quota or should it be in a cream form? Love your videos, you are so concise and you have a great voice for Vlogging
what is the name of a high quality vitamin c product for night use?
