Q & A
What is the primary function of Vitamin C serums for the skin?
-Vitamin C serums are used to neutralize free radicals produced by oxidation, which can damage the skin, especially when exposed to sun and pollution.
Why do free radicals increase when we are exposed to the sun or pollution?
-Exposure to the sun or pollution increases the production of free radicals, which the body cannot neutralize as efficiently, leading to potential skin damage.
What is the significance of the apple test mentioned in the script?
-The apple test is used to demonstrate the antioxidant properties of Vitamin C serums by showing how they can prevent the oxidation (browning) of a cut apple when applied.
What is the role of Vitamin E serums as mentioned in the script?
-Vitamin E serums, like Vitamin C, help neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from damage caused by environmental factors.
Why is Vitamin C important for maintaining youthful skin?
-Vitamin C helps maintain youthful skin by supporting collagen production, which slows down with age and contributes to wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity.
What are the key factors considered in the texture, smell, and consistency test of the serums?
-The key factors considered include how easily the serum can be applied, whether it feels sticky, and the presence or absence of a strong fragrance.
How does the Beta Diene Test relate to the stability of Vitamin C in serums?
-The Beta Diene Test checks the stability of Vitamin C by observing how it reacts with an iodine solution. A stable Vitamin C serum will titrate the solution, making it transparent, indicating it is less likely to cause skin irritation.
What does the result of the Beta Diene Test indicate about a serum's potential to irritate the skin?
-A serum that quickly titrates and becomes clear water in the Beta Diene Test is considered highly stable and less likely to irritate the skin.
Which serums were found to be the most and least effective in the apple test?
-Garnier, Deconstruct, and Minimalist serums were found to be the most effective in preventing apple browning, while Pilgrim and M Caffeine were the least effective.
What is the recommendation for individuals with oily or acne-prone skin based on the tests conducted?
-For individuals with oily or acne-prone skin, Deconstruct serum is recommended due to its high stability and lightweight texture, which is less likely to cause irritation or a sticky feeling.
What additional benefit does Deconstruct serum have according to the script?
-Deconstruct serum contains Ferulic Acid, which provides additional stability and better protection from the sun.

🍏 Vitamin C Serums: Combating Free Radicals
The speaker introduces a test to evaluate the effectiveness of Vitamin C serums. They explain the role of Vitamin C in neutralizing free radicals, which are reactive molecules produced by oxidation and can damage the skin. Free radicals are increased by sun exposure and pollution, leading to skin damage. Vitamin C serums, containing ascorbic acid, are beneficial for their antioxidant properties, which help prevent oxidation. The speaker demonstrates this by applying Vitamin C serum to half of a cut apple and leaving the other half untreated to observe the difference in oxidation after 24 hours. They also discuss the importance of Vitamin C for maintaining collagen levels in the skin as we age, which helps prevent wrinkles. The serums tested include products from Garnier, Lakme, Dermaco, Pilgrim, Mom's Co, Deconstruct, Minimalist, and M Caffeine, with observations on their texture, smell, and consistency.
🍎 Testing Serums for Free Radical Protection
The speaker conducts a test to see how well various serums can prevent oxidation, using apples as a proxy for the skin. They apply each serum to different apple slices and observe the level of browning after 24 hours, with less browning indicating a more potent serum. The results show that Garnier, Deconstruct, and Minimalist performed well, while Pilgrim and M Caffeine did not. The speaker then moves on to the Beta Diene Test to assess the stability of Vitamin C in the serums, which is important for how well they will feel on the skin and their potential to cause irritation. Serums from Mom's Co, Pilgrim, Minimalist, Garnier, and Deconstruct are tested. The Beta Diene Test involves adding serum to an iodine solution; the serum's ability to clear the solution indicates its Vitamin C content and stability. Deconstruct and Minimalist show high stability, while Pilgrim performs poorly. The speaker concludes with recommendations for different skin types, suggesting Deconstruct for oily or acne-prone skin due to its stability and lightweight feel, and Minimalist for normal or dry skin.

Transcripts
And let's test these serums and show our audience whether
these tests are correct or not
But before that, I would like to refresh you a little on
why Vitamin C serums are used Now, your skin's natural
processes produce highly reactive molecules
Which are the products of oxidation
Which we call free radicals
And this generally neutralizes the body itself
But whenever the balance of neutralization breaks
For example, when you are going out in the sun Or in
general, there is so much pollution in cities these days
And you are hanging out outside
So there, the production of free radicals increases
And they are not able to neutralize
And this is where Vitamin C serums and sometimes Vitamin E
serums come in Now, Vitamin C is basically the compounds
around ascorbic acid
Now you must be thinking that we have gone into too much of
chemistry
But I am in that chemistry mode
Because we recently came back from our factory
Where we saw that testing lab
But now the thing is that in Vitamin C serums
So many antioxidants are present in such a way
That they actually help you with the problem of free
radicals
So here comes a very basic test
If you take an apple
So you know that if you leave that apple open after cutting
it It will turn completely brown
Because it is oxidized as soon as it comes in contact with
the air outside But let's assume that if you have applied
Vitamin C on it
Then that Vitamin C will stop its oxidation
So to prove this, I stole an apple from my house
And cut it into two small pieces
And kept one without serum
And on the other, I applied a lot of Vitamin C serum
And if we leave it for 24 hours
You will clearly see that the one on which the serum is not
applied
It has become very oxidized and has also disappeared
And the one on which the serum was applied is still there
So you have understood that by applying Vitamin C
The oxidative stress, basically the free radicals that are
being created Because of the sun and pollution
That will calm down
Which means that you will have less damage from the sun and
pollution So that's why I would like to declare first
That if you are above the age of 20
And you go out of your house every day Then you definitely
need a Vitamin C serum
And personally, that is exactly why
If I am traveling
For example, if I go to Spain for a month Or if I go to Goa
for a month Or if I go anywhere
Then along with sunscreen, I have a very important skincare
Which is Vitamin C
And by the way, let me tell you one more advantage of
Vitamin C That when you start aging a little When you are
21, 22, 23
Then your skin starts to slow down in the form of collagen
And you need collagen to maintain the youthfulness of your
skin
And to avoid wrinkles
The reason why I have been able to maintain my skin so well
Which you guys say yourself
When you meet me while shooting outside in public You guys
say yourself that your skin is very good
So that's the reason
That I have been able to identify all these problems And
have been able to use the right skincare products in my life
And one of them is Vitamin C And I also take oral collagen
Because of this, you can see youthfulness
Anyway, in the last Vitamin C video
I showed you the Minimalist serum
But this time I thought
Let's order the serums of the famous brands available in
the market
And let's test them
Which people are doing on the internet these days
So the first thing I am going to test on them
Is their texture, smell and consistency The consistency of
Garnier's serum is very good
Because of which the process of applying it will be very
easy But yes, the best thing about it is its fragrance This
Lakme one has come in a very cute orange box
But the texture of this Lakme one felt a little sticky Even
though the consistency is still fine But honestly, I don't
want to apply so much stickiness on my face
And its fragrance is also very citrusy Which I don't like
in serums
Dermaco's texture and consistency is very good
It's not too thin
It's a little thick
So you can feel the thickness on your face
But it will be fine in some time
Next is Pilgrim's one
Which has a very nice texture
It's completely water-based
And I like this kind of thin texture And because it has a
thin texture The consistency is also very nice
I didn't find much fragrance in it
Next is Mom's Co's one
Which has a slightly thicker texture
And honestly, I don't want to apply it on my face
But the consistency is fine
But I didn't like its fragrance
Next is Deconstruct's one
And talking about its texture
It's also very water-like
And it's not sticky at all
Which I like to apply on my skin And its consistency is
also good
And there is no fragrance in it
Next is Minimalist's serum
And the texture of Minimalist's one is also very water-based
It's also very consistent
And there is no fragrance in it
Next is M Caffeine
Which has a very watery texture It's very run-down
So it's going to be very difficult to apply it on a daily
basis
Even after being watery, its consistency is a little rough
And its smell is also a little weird
It's a lemon-like smell
Which I don't like that much Now let's go to our next test
In which we will see How well these serums can help the
problem of free radicals Which means
We will test Apple
And we will see
After 24 hours
How much browning has happened on Apple
And the more browning has happened
The less potent this serum is
So first of all, I will cut an apple And make small pieces
of it
And put it nicely in a tray
And obviously, I can't put it in a tray as well as my mom
does When guests come to our house
After that, with all the serums
I will cover the entire surface area of these apples
Starting with M Caffeine
Then Minimalist
Then Deconstruct
Then Garnier
Then the one in Lakme
Then Derma
Then Pilgrim
And then Mom's
Now we will keep this for 24 hours
And then we will see the result 24 hours later
And bro, we got to know the truth about all the serums the
next day
Like Garnier's one protected the apple properly
And Deconstruct's apple was looking very fresh
Minimalist's apple was also looking very fresh in color
M Caffeine's one was a little dry and crumpled
Mom's Apple was a little brown Look at the condition of
Pilgrim's one
Absolutely horrible
Rest, Dermaco has also saved the apple properly
Because there is not much browning
And Lakme's one also doesn't have much crazy browning
Now let's move towards our next test
Which is going to be the Beta Diene Test Now what I read
online about the Beta Diene Test was that
It will check the stability of Vitamin C, which is
basically Ascorbic Acid And why does stability matter?
When you apply any product on your skin, especially on
Indian skin Then sometimes it can give you a tingling
sensation
And the more stable it is, the more soothing it will feel
on your skin
And in this test, I will not include the products that I
didn't like their consistency or feel
And to test the rest, I have taken small glasses
In which I will add a little drinking water
Then I will add a little bit of Beta Diene, which is an
Iodine solution
And this is basically going to be a titration test
If you have paid attention to your chemistry in school,
then you would know
Which means that after adding a specific amount The color
of the solution should become transparent
So that it will be known whether it has enough amount of
Vitamin C or not
So that's why I will start adding our first serum to it
Which is this Mom's Co.
And we will add 6 drops of it because that's how much is
recommended to apply on the face
Now you can see that after adding it, when we stirred it a
little It didn't completely titrate, it just became a light
orange solution
Next we will add Pilgrim's one, we will also add 6 pumps of
it
And this didn't change at all, it looks like Espresso shot
Then we will add Minimalist's Vitamin C Serum
After adding 6 drops of it, we had to stir it a little more
And after some time, its color changed and it completely
titrated
But ultimately, it became clear water
Then we will add 6-7 drops of Garnier's serum
And we stirred it for a long time, but because Garnier's
serum is a little creamy
It is a little moisturizer type, so its solution has also
become a little foggy
Next we will add 6 pumps of Deconstruct
And after stirring it a little, it completely titrated and
became clear water
So we have performed all the basic tests
From this test, we got to know which product will irritate
you the least
And you will have to use the least amount of it
So after doing all these tests, I feel if you have oily or
acne prone skin Or if you are a beginner, then Deconstruct
will be right
Because it was the quickest in the Betadine test, so it is
highly stable
And I have also tried it recently and I found its
lightweight very good on my skin So you won't feel sticky
on oily skin, especially in summer
And you won't get any irritation from it on your skin
And the Deconstruct in this, which I like that it has pumps
and not a dropper
It also has Ferulic Acid, which gives it more stability and
better protection from the sun
But if you have normal or dry skin, then obviously you can
still use Minimalist and Deconstruct
But yes, Deconstruct's stability is much better The worst
test I have performed in the whole test was the Pilgrim one
And the M Caffeine one was also bad, I don't like that
brand at all now
And you have also noticed that one brand, which you know if
you are a viewer of the channel
That I don't like at all, which is related to Papa Sky
I don't even want to test that, bro
Or if you actually want me to test that too, then tell me
in the comments below And also tell me in the comments
below, which skincare product should I test in the next
episode of Skincare Premium League
Anyway, all the good serums that were released from this
video, all the links will be in the description below
So look your best, feel your best and be your best
