Does topical vit c make your skin photosensitive? I had read it does but I have also read that it helps to protect the skin from a wider range of light rays. I am very confused. Should I be apply vit c morning and night? Or just night, I have to be very careful as I have melasma. Thank you!

Topical vitamin C does cause your skin to be photosensitive which means if your out with no spf you can burn faster ,however it protects your skin from free radical damage because it's a antioxidant it also helps to reverse sun damage and rebuild collagen so if your not vigilant about your spf and reapply it when needed then it's best to use it at night but if your using retinol or copper peptides you should not use them together so you need to break it up

Yeah traci I have heard that vitamin c is supposedly a good protector against the sun!!? But I think I saw that on a dr.oz post so who knows if it's true?

The Senate Committee really put him on the hot-seat. I knew it was only a matter of time before his product endorsements get him in trouble. The things people do for money.smh.

I know right it's especially sickening when people in the medical industry are like that because most people go to the doctor thinking they are going to get help when most of the time they just get prescriptions for pills that may or may not help the patient but they definitely help the doctors paycheck *smh* just sad!

But I don't think everything thing he said wAs wrong I research a lot of his tips that's the problem people just follow blindly without doing there own research

Ya that's so true girl - I know I did like some of the advice he gave on his show and if nothing else it got you thinking about your own bad habits and trying to change them but definitely everyone should always do their own research before they try anything new.
