Or is just cleansing, SPF, moisturizer, tretinoin, and dermarolling enough to get perfect skin? Asking because I want to have as good a skincare routine as possible without wasting money because I'm young

not essential but a good addition

oh fuck i already use that shit + tret + vit c serum jfl i even exfoliate like every other day
yea, vit c does not go with neither of those so disregard it

exfoliating is good a couple of times a week

dont overdo it

Could you elaborate on how it doesn't go with them because I spent like $30 on this shit so I don't wanna just stop using it without knowing exactly why

A lot of people use vit c serum and tretinoin together (But AM and PM) but yeah BP might be bad for it tbh

How come? I have some acne scars/visible pores/hyperpigmentation left so I'm trying to fix all that, rosacea too (Although I know dermarolling won't help or fix all of them)

I like oral better (ascorbic acid at least 3 grams spread out), and it doesn’t interact with my other products.

Its good and very much effectice. Apply it in the morning right after you cleanse (important to be in the morning since it has anti uv benefits and you dont wanna mix it with tret, which should be applyed at night). Use a formulation which has ascorbic acid and not a derivate.

If you must use a derivate due to sensitivity/cost use either Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, or Ascorbyl Glucoside. These 3 are the ones which have the most scientific potential to replace ascorbic acid.


Id also recommend you to use a niancinamide serum at night (cheap af) right before you apply tret. It has a synergetic effect and its a proven collagen booster.

Feel free to check my post regarding tret, it has a pretty decent routine there. Mine its the same, except I do also apply vitamin C serum in the morning 🥂

Not necessary.
In general a decent ingredient to add.
