The hall of fame
Sincerely Miss Ash's top picks.
The products Sincerely Miss Ash has crowned best in their category, and brings up again and again.
I really like this product because it doesn't settle into fine lines. And yes, I do have some fine lines over here. It honestly doesn't settle into fine lines like a concealer. Concealers, as you know, sometimes they can make our under eyes look 10 times worse than what our eyes look like beforehand. It settles into fine lines and it can just make your under eyes look dry and crepey. This product, I swear to God, this doesn't make your under eyes look worse. It doesn't look crepey. It doesn't look dry. It is very moisturizing. And it just keeps your under eyes looking fresh for the entire day. It just blends right into the skin and it just stays that way. So, this has a really nice formulation. Honestly, one of the best under eye correctors I've ever used. And then you have that sun protection as well, which is just an added bonus.
I love the Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream. You guys know that I use this a lot in my nighttime routine but I will occasionally use this in my morning routine as well. Just that little amount locks in all of that moisture that we just applied with all of those serums and it just gives this nice glow to the skin as well, which I'm a big fan of.
I've been using it for years. I would buy this first before that eye serum because this does it all and I really like the cream. It's a little bit more moisturizing on the skin and this has the exosomes, the growth factors, the NIOD one does not. So, this just does a little bit more in my opinion and from my experience.
There's a lot of peptides and antioxidants in here as well. And the ingredient that helps to depuff is ruskus aculeatus. And this ingredient is actually derived from an evergreen shrub. And it really does a good job to depuff. If you want something that targets all eye concerns, especially puffiness, and you've never tried this, this is seriously worth it.
This is one of my favorite copper peptide serums ever. This was the first copper peptide serum that I ever used and then I got into the neon one and then I ventured out from there. So if you love copper peptides and you're looking for a really nice serum that helps to firm the skin and also to help stimulate collagen, The Ordinary one is definitely one to look into. I really like the consistency of the serum. It reminds me of hyaluronic acid. It has a little bit of a jelliness to it, but still very lightweight and hydrating. I've never had an issue with peeling and it's one that I will sometimes use in my morning routine in replacement of vitamin C and then sometimes I will use this at night time if I don't feel like using tretinoin or a retinaldehyde. With copper peptides, you do need to be cautious on what ingredients you pair it up with because sometimes other actives can conflict with the copper ingredient and then of course this wouldn't be as effective on the skin. So I'm very cautious on how I use it because I want to achieve maximum results. And I've been using this now for a few years.
By the numbers
What they review most.
Against the grain
Sincerely Miss Ash'shot takes.
Products where their take diverges from the rest of the gurus.
I have used the NuFace Trinity. I have talked about it a lot in the past, but this is way better because I see quicker results with this. The results last longer with this one and also it's smaller, it's more lightweight and it's just so much easier and quicker to use also.
This is the worst dry shampoo I have ever used. It puts this weird heavy film on my hair and it just makes my hair look lifeless. It looks dirtier than what it was prior. I've had this for a long time and I couldn't completely finish it. It just never worked for me. Maybe this would be suited for those that have thicker, coarser hair. I have pretty fine hair and maybe this is just not for my hair type. So, if you're thinking of this, I would say pass.
I hated the smell so I had to spray my entire body with cologne because I didn't want to have to hop back in the shower and restart the process again. Besides the scent of this, I think the formula is really nice and moisturizing, but yeah I just can't with the scent.
The C5 super boost eye cream has 5% vitamin C as well plus hyaluronic acid and polypeptide so this is going to help hydrate, firm and brighten. It was a little bit brightening and yes it is very moisturizing, but there are other eye serums and eye creams that I have used in the past that have performed better than this. Other eye serums and eye creams that I have talked about contain more ingredients to target signs of aging, and I would rather use those than this because they will target multiple signs of aging. I'm not going to repurchase this or pick this up again.

"This has good ingredients to hydrate and repair that skin barrier. It's a cheaper alternative, and I love it. This doesn't get enough hype, but the people that talk about it get it. They just know how good this is. If you haven't tried this, you're truly missing out. It's good to have on hand for when your skin is angry. It just works so well to bring your skin back to that normal state. If you want something for hydration and skin repair, this is great."

"The Ordinary Soothing and Barrier Support Serum really does provide your skin with a lot of moisture. This is great to have on hand as a just-in-case product. If your skin ever becomes compromised and you have that itch, that burning sensation to your skin, and your skin just feels really angry, then start incorporating this. You could also incorporate this right away with your retinal to try and prevent that compromised barrier, and this is exceptional. You can put this on top of the retinal and then go in with your moisturizer afterwards, and that completes the nighttime routine."

"This is a serum that works. Use this after your water-based serums but before your creams, before your retinol, before your moisturizer, and before your sunscreen. I feel like this is worth the $25.80 Canadian. If you're a fan of niacinamide modulating glucosides, which is a similar serum to this, I think you're going to love it. This is more affordable. Yes, the ingredient list is a little bit different, but they basically do the exact same thing. I love it and I feel like this is going to be a part of my skincare routine for a very long time."

"The Ordinary Soothing and Barrier Support Serum is a similar product to modulating glucosides. I do feel like the modulating glucosides works quicker in terms of relieving that discomfort, but this still does a really good job to provide moisture and to repair the skin barrier. This serum is pink, which is actually coming from the vitamin B12 ingredient, and this is wonderful. It really is and it spreads nicely. None of these serums peel on the skin, they all get absorbed into the skin quite nicely. They're friendly ingredients that can be used with anything, so you can use these with retinol, vitamin C, or glycolic acid. You can use them when you need them or use them with your actives."
TOP 5 LUXE ANTI-AGING SERUMS THAT ACTUALLY DELIVER AMAZING RESULTS - SINCERELY MISS ASH
"If you're someone with sensitive skin you tend to get a compromised skin barrier from time to time because of active ingredients or the environment, this is a lovely product to use on an everyday basis or just when you need it. I only use this when my skin is angry, when it's feeling tight, I have that burning tingling sensation. That's when you can start to incorporate this. I love the texture because it has this really nice milky consistency. The coloring is coming from the vitamin B12 ingredient, it isn't an artificial color. But there's also Centella asiatica in here, there's ginger root extract, ceramides, niacinamide, rape seed sterol, and the list goes on. This immediately calms and soothes your skin because of that nice milky consistency. If your skin is angry, put this on and your skin just feels like there's relief. It just gives this nice overall moisture and it is very hydrating as well."
THE BEST SERUMS FOR DRY SKIN | WINTER 2023
"The Ordinary Soothing and Barrier Support Serum, this is their newest serum this year and it's very similar to Niacinamide. They basically do the exact same thing but of course the ingredients are slightly different. They are both milky in texture and they both help to soothe the skin and hydrate it. The Niacinamide one works quicker when your skin is in bad shape, but this one will still work. I just feel like it takes a little bit longer to work, but it's still a great option. It's more affordable and you honestly can't go wrong with either one."

"Very repairing, very hydrating. And it keeps your skin looking its best, keeping it healthy. Even if you don't have compromised, sensitive skin or dry skin, you can use this everyday, twice a day, just to maintain skin health. Great for all skin types. I have combination skin. I am very acne prone and this does not break me out. This is very nourishing and hydrating. It will leave a glow to your skin, but it doesn't break me out. So this is absolutely wonderful. When you develop breakouts or cystic acne, they're painful and really uncomfortable. I find that this does a really good job to calm the skin and it actually calms down those blemishes where they're not as painful. So it gives you some relief, which I think is really great."
NEW! THE ORDINARY SOOTHING & BARRIER SUPPORT SERUM REVIEW | REPAIR YOUR SKIN BARRIER FAST!
"It's nice to see that we can use this with retinol and with other active ingredients because of course with those products we do experience the dryness, irritation, redness, so it's nice to see that we can pair this up with those to help eliminate some of that irritation that can happen a few days later. Overall I am very pleased with this serum. I'm really happy that The Ordinary came out with something similar to the neon modulating glucosides. Of course this is very similar but also a little different, still, but the price point here is more affordable. It hydrates, it repairs, it keeps my skin nice and comfortable. I have a beautiful glow and it really does help to reduce on redness and it does what it says it's supposed to do at least from my experience. I really do recommend this. I think that this is a great option to incorporate especially now that the fall and winter months are approaching."

RESULTS GUARANTEED! 10 PRO TRETINOIN/RETINAL PAIRINGS TO LIMIT SKIN IRRITATION AND SIGNS OF AGING
"The ordinary soothing and barrier support serum is an exceptional serum to use when you have dryness, flakiness, and your skin needs some TLC. This one has a milky consistency and it is pink in color, and that coloring is coming from the vitamin B12 ingredient. This is very soothing and comforting on the skin, especially when you have that itch, that burning sensation, and your skin is just super angry. This really does give that instant relief when you need it. So it's great to use when you need it or you can use it every day, twice a day, just for prevention. You can use this with other products as well, so you don't have to use this with a retinal or tretinoin. You can use this with vitamin C, peptides, glycolic acid, any other type of active, or just use this on its own. If you are a beginner to these, I would definitely pick up something like this just to keep your skin nice and strong and comfortable and moisturized."

It has a milky consistency but it's pink, and that coloring is coming from the vitamin B12 ingredient. This one is very hydrating and it does help to repair the skin barrier. I'm going to pick up one bottle of this because I do like it."
HOW TO REPAIR YOUR SKIN BARRIER - BEST SKIN BARRIER REPAIR PRODUCTS FOR HEALTHY, GLOWING SKIN!
"This contains 2% niacinamide which is great to hydrate the skin, Centella asiatica, ceramides, and GIC acid, which can help reduce the look of facial redness. If my skin is super angry, I'm using this because it's one of the serums that gives you almost instant relief. This works better than the Coco kind one when your skin is super angry and you need that relief, especially if you have that burning sensation to your skin. This is going to give you that relief because of how thick and milky it is but also because of the ingredients. You can use this twice a day and you can use this with tretinoin and with active ingredients. This is more affordable than the neon modulating glucosides, which was my go-to, so I feel like I use this one a little bit more because of that reason."
7 PRO TIPS FOR TRETINOIN USERS TO PREVENT SKIN IRRITATION | WINTER TIPS FOR MAXIMUM RESULTS!
"The Ordinary Soothing and Barrier Support Serum is their pink serum they came out with this later in 23 and this is a lovely one for that compromised barrier that has that itch that burning sensation to the skin you have dryness and flakiness. This can be used literally every day twice a day or just use it when you need it or just use it when you're using your retinol or active ingredients. I don't use this every day but when my skin is feeling like it's starting to get irritated or it's dry then that's when I will start incorporating this in my nighttime routine and it never ever disappoints. It has that creaminess to it so it just feels really comforting on the skin when your skin needs it."

"This helps with that surface and below surface hydration, and this is way better than hyaluronic acid in my opinion. Hyaluronic acid helps to plump up the skin, but I think that this does a better job in terms of hydrating and giving more of that youthful glow to the skin. This is my go-to for when my skin is compromised. It's feeling angry, dry, flaky, tight. It has that burning sensation. If you're someone that gets in office treatments done like laser, micro needling, whatever the case is, this would be a great serum to use post treatment to repair and strengthen your skin barrier. You can be consistent with this and use it every day twice a day just to help keep your skin hydrated and repaired. It works really well. There's vitamin B12 in here which actually helps with dryness, helps to reduce the look of facial redness. The vitamin B12 actually gives the pink coloring to this serum. It does have a thicker texture to it. It's milky. It's not sticky on the skin, but you will feel a little bit of tackiness because of how hydrating and soothing this serum is."
8 SKINCARE HEROS THAT ACTUALLY SAVED MY SKIN | SKIN REPAIR, BREAKOUTS, GLOWING COMPLEXION AND MORE!
"The pink coloring of this serum isn't an artificial color, this is coming from the vitamin B12 ingredient. There's also niacinamide in here, Centella asiatica, ceramides, rapeseed sterol, ginger root extract. This is a wonderful serum to use when your skin is compromised, it has that burning sensation, it's really red and inflamed, dry. This is wonderful to use every day up to twice a day until your skin is back to normal, or you can use this everyday as a preventative just to keep your skin barrier nice and strong. If you're acne prone and you have current breakouts and those breakouts get really sore and tender, this is a great product to use to help calm those areas down and it also helps to calm the redness down as well that is caused by that blemish. This is also great to use alongside active ingredients like tretinoin, retinol, glycolic acid. If you're using glycolic or lactic acid that is generally in a watery type of consistency, use that first then use this afterwards because it is thicker, it's like a milky texture, then go in with your moisturizer. If you're using a retinol or tretinoin that is cream based, use this first and then go in with your cream based products afterwards just for proper layering to prevent peeling and all of that good stuff."
THE ORDINARY & NIOD SALE 2023 | I SPLURGED ONCE AGAIN AND THIS IS WHAT I PURCHASED!
"This is a new product that recently just came out and this is very similar to the neon modulating glucose sides where it helps to repair the skin help with dryness and irritation it can help to reduce redness as well and the serum is pink and that color is coming from the vitamin B12 ingredient. I do feel like the neon modulating glucose sides works a little quicker but this is still a great option and I really do like it. This is way more affordable and I can purchase more but also I really like the formulation of this as well so this one has more of that jelly texture more like a hyaluronic acid type of serum so I do feel like this one is a little bit more moisturizing and will be perfect for the winter months. They're very similar they are a little different in terms of ingredients and price point of course but this is still effective and I love it I really do for signs of aging."
"This was a really effective serum for brightening the skin. Great if you have that uneven skin tone, post-acne marks, dark spots. Alpha arbutin is a tyrosinase inhibitor, so it helps prevent melanin formation. If you are dealing with discoloration and you do struggle with that, then alpha arbutin might be a great ingredient to incorporate on an everyday basis and it's well tolerated on all skin types. It is very comparable and similar to hydroquinone, but of course, alpha arbutin is more gentle and you can use this long-term without having to worry about removing it from your routine here and there. So, it's one that you can be more consistent with and you can use it twice a day if you wish. Even if you just have dull-looking skin, alpha arbutin can also help to brighten the skin as well. It's a really nice ingredient to have in your routines even to prevent future hyperpigmentation."

If you have dark spots or post acne marks, then this serum on its own can really help to give that even skin tone in time. This is basically like an alternative and a safer, more gentler option than hydroquinone. Of course hydroquinone is stronger, it's going to work quicker, this is more gentle and something that you can use every day without experiencing irritation. I really love this serum, especially paired up with your vitamin C serum of choice. This is so affordable yet super effective."
TOP 5 LUXE ANTI-AGING SERUMS THAT ACTUALLY DELIVER AMAZING RESULTS - SINCERELY MISS ASH
"This is a lovely serum that actually works to fade these areas, especially when you are consistent. Right consistency is key with skin care in general. This one here has Alpha arbutin, and this is an ingredient that I have been using for several years specifically from The Ordinary. They do have a lovely Alpha arbutin serum at a 2% strength, and this ingredient is basically a plant-based ingredient to help fade dark spots and discoloration. It's very similar in the way that it works to hydroquinone, but of course it's a lot safer, it's more gentle than hydroquinone. Yes, it might take a little bit longer to work compared to hydroquinone, but it's an ingredient that can be used by many skin types and it's also a friendly ingredient that can be used alongside retinol, retinoid, vitamin C and so on, and it can be used every day twice a day. The other ingredient in here that will target discoloration is kojic acid, so again this is going to fade dark spots, discoloration, helping with that even skin tone in time, but also this ingredient really helps to give that brighter complexion overall. And then there is licorice root extract which does very similar things, it helps to brighten and give more of that even skin tone."
THESE ARE THE TOP 5 MOST UNDERRATED ORDINARY PRODUCTS THAT NO ONE TALKS ABOUT - SINCERELY MISS ASH
"I've always enjoyed this serum because it's really effective especially if you are consistent with it and you're using it at least once a day. It's a serum that you can use twice a day if you wish. It's a very gentle serum and you can honestly pair this product up with most things. There really isn't any conflicts with Alpha Arbutin, which is why I really liked it because you can pair it up with anything like your vitamin C serum, your retinol, peptides. You can pair it up with anything. This serum is very similar to hydroquinone, which is a product that is generally prescribed by your dermatologist or your doctor. It's a product that really helps with discoloration and giving that even skin tone. This is similar but way more gentle and you can use it more often and it's safer to use. With hydroquinone you can't really be on it long term."
"That was my favorite vitamin C serum. I used to always talk about it because it had an 8% ascorbic acid, so very gentle, but it also contained alpha arbutin. So, two ingredients that really brighten the skin."

It sits nice with other skincare products, you can also use this with sunscreen and makeup, there's no issues with pilling and it absorbs nicely into the skin as well. It really is a great formulation. If you can't use any one of the other vitamin C serums or you're just looking for something that really helps with uneven skin tone, I would say go with this one.

THE BEST ORDINARY PRODUCTS FOR HYPERPIGMENTATION, DARK SPOTS, REDNESS AND TEXTURED SKIN!
"This is one of the best vitamin C serums from The Ordinary in my opinion. I have tried many vitamin C's from The Ordinary and I always go back to this one in particular because of the two main ingredients. If you have that uneven skin tone, that dull complexion, I hope you are going to love this serum. Ascorbic acid as you know is your purest form of vitamin C and I feel like this is the most effective form of vitamin C as well. It works the quickest compared to vitamin C derivatives. Even though this is at an 8% concentration, this is still going to be beneficial especially with continuous use. But if you are more on that sensitive side and you're someone that can't use higher percentages of vitamin C like the 10, 15 or 20%, then give this serum a try and see how it goes. This is going to brighten your skin."

That serum no longer exists, it has now been discontinued, and actually that was one of my all-time favorite vitamin C serums out of the entire vitamin C category. I loved that pure form of vitamin C and I liked the pairing with alpha arbutin because this ingredient helps to brighten the skin and so does the ascorbic acid. I always found this pairing was one of my go-tos when I needed that brightness with my skin, and it truly was one of the best vitamin C serums, actually the best vitamin C serum from The Ordinary."

"This is their growth factor serum that they came out with last year as well, and I actually really like this one. This has three plant-based growth factors and growth factors are great to have in skincare for anti-aging. Great for pairing up with other actives like retinol, copper peptides. Growth factors help to stimulate collagen. It also helps to speed up that repair process with the skin. So if you have a compromised skin barrier, you have sensitive skin, you get a lot of in-office treatments done, whether that's microneedling or laser or something, growth factors are great to use post-treatment to speed up that healing process with the skin. Whether you have sensitive compromised skin or not, growth factors are great to have in skincare to maintain skin health, but also great to stimulate collagen. This one can be used everyday twice a day. It's also great for all skin types. And it has a very thin, watery consistency."

4 AMAZING COPPER PEPTIDE PAIRINGS FOR MAXIMUM RESULTS | ANTI-AGING, FIRMER SKIN, AND MORE!
"This is The Ordinary GF 15% Solution. This is a lovely serum just on its own, but I feel like this works even better when you pair it up with copper peptides or just another type of peptide serum. Growth factors have wound healing properties to it as well. So it can speed up that healing process if you have a compromised skin barrier and just keeps your skin nice and strong and healthy. But growth factors can also help to stimulate collagen, soften fine lines and wrinkles. It's also very hydrating. The one from The Ordinary contains three types of plant-based growth factors, and I think that they did a really good job with this serum specifically."
NEXT LEVEL ANTI-AGING SERUM! THE NEW ORDINARY GF 15% SOLUTION | YOU NEED TO TRY THIS NOW!
"This would be a lovely addition to incorporate with your other anti-aging products. It's very hydrating and very plumping, which I really do love, and it has a nice short ingredient list, which is a nice thing. A lot of people look for that in skincare products when a product has a lot of ingredients sometimes they're just filler ingredients and they don't really do much for the skin, but with this product there is a small ingredient list, which is really nice. Growth factors are lovely to have in skincare for skin rejuvenation, skin repair, and skin hydration. It truly targets multiple skin concerns and most people, if not all, can benefit from growth factors. I may not see miracles after one bottle, but I can see myself using this long term just because of the benefits of growth factors."
NEXT LEVEL ANTI-AGING SERUM! THE NEW ORDINARY GF 15% SOLUTION | YOU NEED TO TRY THIS NOW!
"This is a very friendly product that can be used with many things. With growth factors, this can also help with skin hydration. This is a very hydrating serum and I find that when I put this all over my skin, my skin just drinks it right up and it's not sticky, it's not heavy. Your skin just feels so hydrated. It just has that nice texture and formulation that really gives that comfort to the skin. This serum is very thin like water, so it's going to spread really nice and your skin is going to absorb it so quickly. There's no stickiness or tackiness, and I've never experienced peeling so far while using this serum. It retails at $21.40 Canadian, which I find is a pretty good price point for a growth factor serum. It's not too expensive, but it's a nice price point where if you did want to be really consistent with this, then I think that is still a reasonable price. If you are someone that is already using copper peptides and retinol, then I think that this would be a lovely addition to incorporate with your other anti-aging products."
4 TOP PERFORMING GROWTH FACTOR SERUMS FOR ANTI-AGING, COLLAGEN BANKING, SKIN HEALTH AND MORE!
"The ingredient list is quite straightforward and basic. If you're looking for something like that, and you want something that is extremely affordable, then this is the way to go. I love the texture and consistency of this. It's very thin and lightweight. It doesn't leave a sticky, greasy feel. It dries down skin-like. There really isn't a glow to the skin either, maybe a slight glow, but you don't look shiny. It honestly dries down skin-like, and it pairs up nicely with other skin care products, including sunscreen and makeup, and it can be used every day, twice a day. It's also fragrance-free. The Ordinary doesn't recommend using their growth factor serum with pure forms of vitamin C, so ascorbic acid or eloscorbic acid. They also don't recommend using this with direct acids like glycolic, lactic, salicylic acid, those types of exfoliating ingredients. And they also don't recommend pairing their multi-antioxidant radiant serum with the growth factors. I do find this to be quite hydrating."

BEAUTY EMPTIES 2025 || SKINCARE AND HAIRCARE PRODUCT'S I'VE USED UP - PROJECT PAN
"The Ordinary GF 15% Solution is their newest serum that they launched this year, their growth factors. It contains three plant-based growth factors. And growth factors are great for fine lines to help stimulate new collagen. They have wound healing properties to them. And I just really like growth factors in general, but this one is really nice and gentle and also very hydrating on the skin. So, you can pair this up with retinol. You can pair this up with a lot of things."

"This is their growth factor serum that they launched early January of this year. I have been using this now for about 2 months and I have really enjoyed it. The texture of this almost reminds me of The Ordinary Amino Acids plus B5, it's very similar and it's just as hydrating. It's very thin like water so it spreads really nicely. I like to apply about four to five drops of this, of course you can apply less or more it's totally up to you on what you want to do."

TOP 7 BEST PERFORMING ORDINARY SKINCARE PRODUCTS - THE ULTIMATE GUIDE FOR ANTI-AGING "REAL RESULTS"
"This is the Ordinary's growth factor serum. There are three plant-based growth factors in here, and this is a lovely serum for anti-aging, but it also helps with skin texture, skin dullness. It will help to prevent and soften fine lines and wrinkles. It will help to firm the skin as well. And there's also wound healing properties to growth factors. So it can help to strengthen your skin barrier. If your skin barrier is compromised, it can speed up that healing process. This product works great on its own, but I think that this product works even better when you pair it up with something like a copper peptide serum or another type of peptide serum."
MY MORNING ANTI-AGING SKINCARE ROUTINE - SKINCARE OVER 30 (WINTER/SPRING SKINCARE ROUTINE)
"The Ordinary GF 15% Solution, GF stands for growth factors and this one contains three plant-based growth factors. Growth factors are great to stimulate new collagen elastin improving texture and tone softening fine lines and wrinkles and it also has wound healing properties to it. There are many benefits to growth factors and this is great for all skin types. I do like to put this on my neck as well and even around my eye area. I believe this is a very gentle hydrating serum and I've had no issues so far."
2 MONTH UPDATE! I TESTED THE ORDINARY GF 15% SOLUTION AND I AM SHOCKED WITH THE RESULTS!
"This serum truly will do it all. It's a great preventative serum as well, so even if you're not experiencing any fine lines or loss of firmness, you can still incorporate it as a great preventative serum. It's also a very hydrating serum. That's the first thing that you're going to notice is that it provides the skin with a lot of hydration. It's great for all skin types. If you're oily, don't worry about the hydration. Even if you have oily skin, honestly you will still really like this. It's lightweight, it's like water. It's very thin and lightweight and absorbs into your skin with no sticky or tackiness. The first thing that I noticed was hydration. The second thing was my skin appeared a lot softer and smoother. That actually happened within a week or two. I noticed that my skin was a lot softer and smoother and more hydrated."
2 MONTH UPDATE! I TESTED THE ORDINARY GF 15% SOLUTION AND I AM SHOCKED WITH THE RESULTS!
"This serum reminds me a lot of The Ordinary Amino Acids Plus B5 if you're familiar with that serum. It's a hydrating serum and this is very similar in the type of texture that it contains, and I really like it because it just absorbs into your skin and there's no sticky or tackiness. The first thing that I noticed was hydration. The second thing was my skin appeared a lot softer and smoother. That actually happened within a week or two. I noticed that my skin was a lot softer and smoother, more hydrated. But I haven't noticed anything yet in terms of softening fine lines and wrinkles. Honestly, for something like this I believe that somebody would most likely have to use a couple of bottles before you were to see results in terms of softening fine lines and wrinkles. For that firmer skin, I haven't noticed that yet. So maybe with my second bottle, maybe by the time I'm done with the second bottle, perhaps I might see a difference. It's a very gentle serum, so I use it everywhere that I can just to see if I notice any improvements."
2 MONTH UPDATE! I TESTED THE ORDINARY GF 15% SOLUTION AND I AM SHOCKED WITH THE RESULTS!
"I have been using this twice a day both morning and evening for a couple of months and it has really improved the texture of my skin. This really does help with wound healing. Since using this, when I experienced a compromised skin barrier, this was actually a great addition for both my morning and nighttime routine to keep my skin from getting to that point, but also even when I was experiencing that discomfort this healed my skin pretty quickly. I like to use growth factors alongside tretinoin or retinol or copper peptides because they enhance one another for signs of aging. You can actually achieve better results by pairing up your growth factors with tretinoin and retinol, but at the same time this is actually going to help keep your skin barrier nice and healthy and balanced."
2 MONTH UPDATE! I TESTED THE ORDINARY GF 15% SOLUTION AND I AM SHOCKED WITH THE RESULTS!
"I have noticed that my skin is more hydrated, it does help with wound healing, and it also improves texture. Within 2 months time I have experienced that. I think with long-term use this actually could help to firm and to help soften and prevent fine lines as well as the months go on. Even though this contains three plant-based growth factors, it doesn't matter, it's still going to be effective as long as you are consistent. I know most people might prefer to go with human growth factors because it might work a little bit faster, but at the same time they're way more money. Serums can range from around $150 and up, so if you can't be consistent with a product that is that expensive or you can't afford to purchase it every couple of months, then you're not going to see the results and you're not going to maintain those results either. Pick something that you can be consistent with and something that is affordable to you, and just be patient and ride it out."
"This can be used prior to retinol and before tretinoin. And this also can be used with other types of antioxidants as well as your vitamin C. And this is a really lovely serum especially for signs of aging and for brightening the skin. So if you are looking for something like that and you love resveratrol then this is a really good one. When I first started, I did experience a bit of dryness. So just start slow maybe at first and then just increase your usage."

3 AMAZING TRETINOIN PAIRINGS FOR MAXIMUM RESULTS | ANTI-AGING, UNEVEN SKIN AND MORE!
"This is an antioxidant serum and antioxidants are great to brighten up your complexion. If you're someone with that dull complexion, tretinoin, retinol and retinaldehydes can really improve that, but this product really helps to get you to that brighter complexion quicker. This can also help to address signs of aging as well. It's one of my favorite products from The Ordinary and I've always said that this is underrated. I don't hear a lot of people talking about this and it's great even paired up with vitamin C serums. But I really love it with tretinoin because I really do like the way that they pair up together. My skin just glows and the clarity and the tone of my skin looks improved. This is oil-free but it does have that oily texture to it, so another reason why I love this serum with tretinoin is because it just keeps the skin nice and comfortable."

AMPLIFIED RESULTS! 9 PRO VITAMIN C PAIRINGS TO LIMIT SIGNS OF AGING- ACHIEVING RADIANT/GLOWING SKIN
"I love the Ordinary Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3%. Both ingredients are at a 3% concentration, which is really rare. I haven't found a serum like this where you get both the ferulic and Resveratrol at 3% in one formulation. This is a very powerful antioxidant serum on its own, so if you can't use vitamin C or a vitamin C derivative, I would say try this and use this on its own. You can also pair this up with a retinol and tronA if your skin can handle that pairing. This could cause a little bit of tingling sensation to your skin. I experienced this when I first started with it, but as my skin became used to this serum, I don't experience that anymore. If you pair this immediately with your vitamin C and you do experience that tingling sensation, just know that it's coming from this. You might want to keep them separate for a while, maybe alternate your mornings, or use this at night and the vitamin C in the morning until your skin adjusts, and then eventually pair them up together."

"This really is one of the best antioxidants from The Ordinary. There is a little bit of a thickness to it, it almost has like an oily feel even though this is oil free, it still has that feeling, but once you apply it to your skin and it dries down you don't get that feeling anymore. It's just that initial application. With makeup and sunscreen I've never had an issue with pilling."

But now that I have been using Resveratrol for quite a while, like several years, my skin doesn't react to it anymore and my skin just looks so glowy when I use it."
THE ORDINARY & NIOD SALE 2025 | TOP 17 ANTI-AGING PRODUCTS + THE PRODUCTS THAT ALWAYS SELL OUT!
"The Ordinary Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3% is very underrated and I have been using this serum on and off for several years. This is one of the best antioxidant serums I have ever used. This is truly the best from The Ordinary if I had to pick because this is very powerful and another great alternative option for those that can't use vitamin C serums. But even if you have a favorite vitamin C serum, you can actually use this with your vitamin C serum. Great to use every day, twice a day. You can actually use this with tretinoin, before retinol or before retinaldehyde. You can use this with a lot of things. This is going to help protect and shield your skin from pollution. It's also great to brighten the skin, target texture, and uneven skin tone. So if you have post acne marks, dark spots, dullness, this will truly liven up your skin and it really does a good job. Because it's both at a 3% concentration, this is quite powerful. So if you are new to this, you may experience a bit of dryness at first and tightness of the skin. But as you get using this, that should subside."
TOP 7 BEST PERFORMING ORDINARY SKINCARE PRODUCTS - THE ULTIMATE GUIDE FOR ANTI-AGING "REAL RESULTS"
"This is the Resveratrol 3% plus Ferulic Acid 3%. These are both at a 3% concentration which makes this serum very powerful and potent. I haven't used anything like this before. I believe this is like the only serum that I've seen on the market that has the 3% for each. Sometimes you will see a ferulic acid at a 0.5% maybe a 1% but I haven't seen anything like this yet. This is going to provide antioxidant support to protect our skin from the environment, from pollution. It's going to brighten the skin. Great if you have a dull complexion, if you have post acne marks, discoloration, and this is also great to help prevent and soften fine lines and wrinkles. This is very powerful. So, if you're new to this, I would say start with a couple of days a week and gradually increase from there because this serum could cause dryness and irritation. When I first started with this many years ago, my skin felt tight. I did experience a little bit of dryness, but then as I got using it more and more, I don't experience that anymore."
"This is more advanced because of the ingredients. Neod is more advanced which is why this brand is more money than the ordinary. The ingredients that you see in some of the Neod products you won't see in the ordinary brand. I do feel like this provides quicker results, at least from my experience with this product. If I were to compare the two together, this one does give better results. It has a different texture. This is very thin like water and it's also dark blue. Once you open this up, you have about six months to finish it. This one has a really nice texture that spreads across the skin. It's hydrating. It's not sticky or tacky either. I've never experienced peeling. You can also use this everyday twice a day. If you want to take your skin to the next level and you love your peptides, try copper peptides. You can't go wrong with this one."

"I've been using this serum for so many years that I just felt like I had to mention it in this video because it really is a luxe product that is worth every penny. This is truly a holy grail. Copper peptides is one of my favorite ingredients to incorporate on an everyday basis or several times through the week. I love copper peptides because peptides are great, but copper peptides truly take your skin to the next level. It firms the skin a little bit quicker. It also helps to stimulate collagen. It has wound healing properties to it. So it helps to speed up that healing process of the skin, just keeping your skin really healthy and radiant looking. And I just love the glow that copper peptides gives my skin as well, especially this product. The texture of this is very thin like water. It spreads so nicely. A little bit goes a long way. And it never peels. It's never sticky or tacky. It always sits great with other skincare products. And this can be used every day twice a day as well."

"This is a product that I talk a lot about here on my channel and this is a product that I really believe in. You would not believe the results that I have seen with this serum alone and I have been very consistent with this for over 2 years now, and I am just absolutely in love and obsessed with this. Copper peptides have wound healing properties, it can help to stimulate new collagen, address fine lines and wrinkles, and it can help to firm the skin. I have noticed that with this serum in particular it does help to firm the skin and it does give a glow to the skin as well. Copper peptides has anti-inflammatory properties as well, so if you have facial redness this can help to reduce on that rosiness. This is a product that can be used every day twice a day. You do need to be cautious on what you pair this up with, exfoliating acids, certain types of antioxidants like L-ascorbic acid and Resveratrol. They also don't recommend using this with retinol or tretinoin. I have used it a few times but I much prefer to keep them separate."

I do feel like this one works a little quicker. This one has more of that watery texture whereas the one from The Ordinary is more like that jelly, more like a hyaluronic acid type of texture. It's great for fine lines, great for signs of aging. The serum is thin, it's lightweight, it layers up nicely with skincare."

If you're looking for something that is a little bit more advanced, something that possibly could work a little bit faster because for my experience this one works a little bit faster than The Ordinary one, this is the NIOD Copper Amino Isolate Serum. The ingredients in here are more advanced. I do find that this works a lot quicker but it's very comparable and similar to The Ordinary. You honestly can't go wrong with either one. This one unfortunately is more expensive. This one has more of that thin watery consistency whereas this one is a little bit more of that gel type of serum. It kind of mimics hyaluronic acid in the way of texture so it just depends on maybe what consistency you like better, what your budget is, but these two are exceptional, especially if you're looking for a copper peptide."

It's also very hydrating. It has a little bit of a milkiness to it. So, I do find it to be quite comforting on the skin. And I find this to be very gentle as well. So, if you're looking for a good antioxidant serum, I would say go with this one. If you do have a vitamin C that you love using in your morning routine, you can pair this up with it even for more antioxidant support."

It has an orangey hue to the serum, it is a little bit thicker, kind of milky, very very hydrating on the skin but really effective to brighten up your skin. It can also address fine lines and wrinkles and protect the skin from everyday pollution. Survival 0 is really advanced, honestly I haven't found a serum that is similar to that formulation yet. It really is one of a kind. I love doing this in my morning routine and sometimes I will use this with a vitamin C serum and this trio really helps to protect the skin from everyday stressors, brighten up the skin, and you get more of a rejuvenated look to the skin as well."

If you want to use any water-based serums prior, I would say do that and then use this as the last serum in your skincare routine before your moisturizer and sunscreen because it is a little bit thicker. It does have a milkiness to it. So for everything to layer up properly, use this after water-based serums but before moisturizer and sunscreen. This is also a product that I have seen sell out many times."

When you pair it up with the superoxide dismutase, this pairing is gamechanging because they both contain antioxidants and it just really addresses that complexion and it really helps to treat fine lines. This is a great alternative to vitamin C, so if you're someone that doesn't use vitamin C serums this would be great to use instead of, but if you would like to pair this up with your vitamin C serum then you can also do that. You can use this twice a day if you'd like to or you can just use it at night time. This really is amazing for anti-aging."
RATING NIOD'S BEST SELLING SKINCARE | THERE ARE 10 PRODUCTS AND I'VE USED THEM ALL!
"This serum has an orange hue to it, and I believe it's coming from the tomato extract ingredient that is in this, so don't be alarmed when you open it up for the first time. Just be careful that you don't get it onto white clothing or white towels or your pillowcase because it could transfer, it could stain. I've never had an issue, but at the end of the day this really is a fabulous serum, so I'm going to rate this a 10 out of 10. The formula contains 15 types of hyaluronic acid, so this is a very plumping and hydrating serum that performs really well, but only if you're using it in a specific way. Anytime you're using hyaluronic acids, you always want to apply them onto damp skin. So when you're using this, make sure your skin is damp, maybe mist it with a facial spray or mist it with a little bit of water, put this product on top. This is going to allow the serum to penetrate better into the skin. Then you want to apply your moisturizer right after while your skin is still damp from the NIOD serum. This is going to lock in the hydration and this is going to give you all-day plumpness and hydration."
"Within a couple of weeks, those areas are dramatically faded and I just have more of that even skin tone, but also my skin just looks a lot brighter as well when I am consistent with this every single day. I always use vitamin C in my morning routine because it also helps to protect your skin from pollution. I just really love this serum for that overall brightness. It is truly 10 out of 10."

This contains over 3,000 proteins like peptides, growth factors, exosomes, and this is going to target all skin concerns, targeting fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture, skin brightness, overall clarity, and rejuvenating the skin, stimulating collagen, repairing that skin, and speeding up that healing process with our skin as well, and just keeping it looking youthful. This is extracted from the umbilical cord of a baby red deer, which is humanely done and free range. A little bit actually goes a long way. You don't necessarily have to use this every day either.

This is extracted from the umbilical cord of a baby red deer, which is humanely done and free range. A little bit actually goes a long way. You don't necessarily have to use this every day either. You may just want to use this once a week or once or twice a week, whatever you want to do. But make sure that you exfoliate your skin really well before you use this."

"This serum is 10 out of 10. A little goes a long way. You don't need much of this. It spreads so nicely, and you want to work by per drop basically because one drop actually spreads quite far. When you use this, you want to make sure that your skin is exfoliated, you don't have any dead skin or flaky skin because you just want this to penetrate into the skin nicely to do its thing right for anti-aging. I really have been enjoying that."
"This is going to target all skin concerns like texture, brightness, softening, and preventing fine lines and wrinkles. It's literally going to do it all because of what is in the ingredient list. This can be used every day, twice a day. This really does work to brighten the skin, improve texture and tone. If you have uneven skin tone because of post acne marks or discoloration, this is a product that can really help to give you a more even complexion in time with consistent use. It has a stabilized retinol ester, stabilized vitamin C as well as vitamin E antioxidants and multi-hydroxy acids with several exfoliating acids like glycolic and mandelic acid to help with that smoother, softer look and feel to the skin, to help brighten the skin, and to help eliminate dryness and flakiness. It really gives this nice rejuvenated look over time the more consistent you use it. Within a couple of weeks, I really noticed that my skin started to look a little bit more clear, looked a little bit more brighter, and started to look more refreshed after a couple weeks of use. I feel like this could replace a lot of the serums that you have in your skincare routine right now."
"This is one of my favorite copper peptide serums ever. This was the first copper peptide serum that I ever used and then I got into the neon one and then I ventured out from there. So if you love copper peptides and you're looking for a really nice serum that helps to firm the skin and also to help stimulate collagen, The Ordinary one is definitely one to look into. I really like the consistency of the serum. It reminds me of hyaluronic acid. It has a little bit of a jelliness to it, but still very lightweight and hydrating. I've never had an issue with peeling and it's one that I will sometimes use in my morning routine in replacement of vitamin C and then sometimes I will use this at night time if I don't feel like using tretinoin or a retinaldehyde. With copper peptides, you do need to be cautious on what ingredients you pair it up with because sometimes other actives can conflict with the copper ingredient and then of course this wouldn't be as effective on the skin. So I'm very cautious on how I use it because I want to achieve maximum results. And I've been using this now for a few years."

So if you do have that drier skin type you might like this option better. Don't be using this with other active ingredients, just keep this on its own. If you're someone that can't use vitamin C or retinol because your skin is just so sensitive, then just use copper peptides.

And I love a good serum that has a copper peptide along with additional peptides. And this one is one of my favorites because of that reason, but also I just love how hydrating and plumping this serum is. I've been using this one the longest along with the neod. Sometimes I like to alternate between the two and this is outstanding and a lovely serum."
TOP 7 BEST PERFORMING ORDINARY SKINCARE PRODUCTS - THE ULTIMATE GUIDE FOR ANTI-AGING "REAL RESULTS"
"I am a big fan of copper peptides. I love this product. Copper peptides really helps to firm the skin. It stimulates collagen. It helps to soften and prevent fine lines and wrinkles. I feel like copper peptides is more advanced and performs better and performs quicker than regular peptides. So if you're using a serum that maybe only has two types of peptides and you're really not seeing a difference with your skin and you've been using that product for a really long time, then I would recommend to try a copper peptide of some kind. This is more affordable than the other two that I just mentioned and it performs as long as you are consistent. And sometimes we have to use products longer than 30 days. Sometimes we have to purchase a couple of bottles before we actually see results. But as long as we are consistent, that is when we will start to see results. And I've been using this for a couple of years consistently."

"Every time I use this and I go out in public, sometimes I will get someone asking me how my skin looks so radiant. How do you get that glow to your skin? And I always say it's from this facial mist because it is. This is the best thing on top of makeup. This is way better than a regular makeup setting spray. This will give that longevity. It keeps your makeup in place as well. You can use this as many times as you like throughout the day. It's not going to give that greasy shiny look to your skin, but you will have that glow. You will have that glass-like looking radiance to your skin. The more you apply, yes, your face will look glowier and glowier. I really like this in my skincare routine as well. You can use this so many different ways. It's great for all skin types, including acne, including sensitive skin. I'm acne prone. I have combination skin. This doesn't break me out. It is non-comedogenic. There is fragrance. It is very mild. If you don't like fragrance, then you might want to pass on this. But it is very mild. It's very fresh smelling. It doesn't smell like floral. It's not fruity. Once I spray it on my skin after it has dried down, I don't smell it anymore. This really is a lovely K beauty product."
"This is a really nice product and very underrated. It's very orange in color, so if you directly apply it to your face without mixing it in with your moisturizer, you might have an orange hue to your skin. If you use it with your moisturizer, you don't see it and it will just give more of a little tan look to your skin. I much prefer to recommend the Pycnogenol as well as the resveratrol plus ferulic acid. I feel like they do a better job than the other Ordinary vitamin C's that they have in their collection."

5 MOST UNDERRATED ORDINARY SERUMS EVERYONE FORGOT ABOUT (HIDDEN GEMS YOU NEED!)
"Pycnogenol does a really good job to brighten a dull complexion. It's best for skin radiance. If you have melasma, dark spots, post-acne marks, I don't feel like pycnogenol does that well to brighten those areas and fade them. It's not that powerful, but it's good for just overall skin brightness, and it really helps to protect the skin from pollution as well. The best way to use this is to mix a couple of drops in with your moisturizer. You could apply the drops directly onto your skin, but you will go through this pretty quickly if you do that because you will need to probably use four or five drops or more to cover your face. This also has a very dark orangey red hue to it that is natural from the ingredients, so it could temporarily cause staining of the skin. Mixing one or two drops in with the moisturizer is the best way to use it and it's going to last a lot longer as well. If you're really focusing on skin brightness, radiance, and helping to protect your skin from the environment, then Pycnogenol is one to try."

"I have an empty The Ordinary Pycnogenol 5% so this is one of their antioxidant serums and I have talked about this a lot in the past this is amazing if you are looking for additional hydration. This is great to add in with your moisturizer so you may want to apply one or two drops into your moisturizer and then of course apply it to your skin that way. So it does add more hydration but also we're getting the antioxidant benefits which can help to target signs of aging to brighten up your complexion. And this little serum really is underrated. I don't hear a lot of people talking about this. You are only getting 15 mils of product so I do believe this works better with your moisturizer it's going to last longer because if you were just to use this as a serum and you're using like four or five drops at a time you will go through this really quickly and it's not necessary to use that many drops. So just put one or two drops into your moisturizer. You can use this daily twice a day and it's fabulous. So yes I am going to be picking up another one as I do like to use this from time to time."
"I just absolutely love this formulation. This is definitely more advanced than The Ordinary in my opinion because it contains more ingredients to improve the skin. This is great for all skin types, but if you have dry skin, sensitive skin, or let's say you're someone that really loves that deep hydration, that plumper, bouncier looking skin, then you're going to absolutely love this. It has peptides as well as copper peptides. These types of peptides help to firm the skin promoting collagen as well as preventing and treating fine lines and wrinkles. This also contains vegan collagen amino acids as well as ceramides to help strengthen and repair that skin barrier. It also has encapsulated vegan growth factors. There's beta glucan in here as well as centella asiatica and phyto mucin. This has a very similar texture and consistency as snail mucin, but this is vegan. There's no snail secretion in here, but it has that same type of texture where it looks like slime, but I promise you it's not real slime. It honestly feels so nice on the skin, especially when you need that hydration."

It has a nice pump, you can purchase a refill once you're finished, and you are getting 30 mls of product. I've paired this up with retinol, with other types of peptides, I did use this with vitamin C a handful of times in my morning routine, I've never experienced paling, and everything layered up so nicely."
"This is the new Polish Choice 7% Ectoin Booster. This just recently launched, so I haven't been using it for too long, but I have been using this a handful of times, and I've been testing this with different active ingredients just to see how they all pair up together. This formula already has Ectoin in it. I have paired them up together a couple of times and this pairing is really hydrating and plumping but also repairing to the skin barrier. If you are someone that deals with a compromised barrier a lot, whether it's tight, it's dry, it just feels like it needs some TLC, this would be a great addition to any skincare product that you have in your routine currently. There are no conflicts with this. You can honestly pair this up with anything because ectoin is an ingredient that will hydrate, but it also helps to strengthen and repair your skin barrier. And there's 7% ectoin in this."
"Azelaic acid is an ingredient that is calming and soothing. Great for those that have sensitive skin. If you have redness, rosacea, azelaic acid is usually prescribed to those that have rosacea. And this is also another ingredient that is great for acne prone skin as well. I have been using azelaic acid all summer long. I actually started late spring and I've been using it ever since in both my morning and nighttime skincare routines because this has really helped to keep my skin clear. Do I still break out with azelaic acid? Yes, I do. Not as much though. This really cuts down on the breakouts, but it just keeps my skin so soft and it gives a brighter complexion. There is a mild exfoliation with azelaic acid, but it's not meant for exfoliation. It's very calming."

This one really does help to prevent breakouts as well as reduce redness and fade discoloration. This is great to use every day twice a day. I've never had irritation with this one either. I would put about a pea-sized amount, maybe a little bit more, to the entire face. Because this is more of a cream texture, you really don't need to put a moisturizer on top of this if you don't want to.

Before using tretinoin I was always breaking out, and just tretinoin alone has improved my skin, but especially more so now that I've incorporated azelaic acid. The redness that I had to my skin naturally has really subsided as well. If you are dealing with acne, rosacea, and redness, this with your tretinoin or with a retinoid is game-changing."

Azelaic acid can help to even out your skin tone in time, giving your complexion that brighter look, and it can also help prevent acne at the same time. I like this one from The Ordinary because it's in a creamy base, so it's very moisturizing and very gentle as well, suited for all skin types, and you can use this on an everyday basis. I like using azelaic acid with my prescription tretinoin at nighttime, and ever since I started using azelaic acid with tretinoin, I have seen a huge difference in the way my skin looks. I don't break out as much anymore. You can use this with tretinoin and with your retinol, just be cautious because we all have different skin and this could lead to further irritation and dryness for some skin types, so maybe start slow and work your way up to see how your skin adjusts. But you can use this on its own or pair it up with other types of serums as well."

"This is one of my favorite drugstore brands but also one of my favorite drugstore products. This works so well. This one has several different types of ceramides and ceramides are really important to have in skincare when you're using active ingredients because these really help to strengthen and repair the skin barrier, but they also prevent transepidermal water loss, so this really helps to keep that moisture in the skin, keeping your skin nice and comfortable, not tight. You can use it every day, twice a day. You can also use this on your neck, your chest, anywhere where you're experiencing irritation. You can use this with tretinoin and your retinol as well because this will help to keep that barrier nice and strong but also keeping the skin nice and hydrated when you're using these actives that could potentially dry your skin out. This one has squalene, which is another hydrating ingredient, but it also contains beta glucan, and this ingredient is very similar to hyaluronic acid where it plumps and hydrates but it's more lightweight. I really love beta glucan. I really do feel like this ingredient performs well in keeping the skin barrier nice and comfortable and nourished. This has a milky consistency to it."

There's also beta glucan which is very similar to hyaluronic acid but beta glucan actually holds on to 10 times more moisture than hyaluronic acid. And this also contains aloe, glycerin, and the list goes on, so we have a lot of humectants in here to keep the skin nice and hydrated but we also have a lot of ingredients to help support that skin barrier at the same time. Now this also has a milky consistency which spreads across the skin really nicely. There's no sticky or tackiness with this serum, and I've also never experienced peeling with this either. So this has paired up nicely with other skincare products. This is fragrance-free, and that's key when your skin is in an angry state."

I put a good amount in the palm of my hands and I just saturate mids to ends and I also do my bangs as well and I will let it sit for maybe a half an hour, sometimes an hour, maybe 20 minutes, and I will let it sit and marinate on the hair and then I will hop in the shower and do my regular hair care routine. It smells like coconut, it smells so tropical and it really is lovely. When I use this I use a clarifying shampoo in the shower just to eliminate some of that oil because obviously with oil it can weigh down your hair, and my hair is pretty fine so my hair would get weighed down if I didn't."
"The Topicals Faded serum contains tranexamic acid but it also contains AIC acid which is great for redness, great for acne-prone skin, and it also contains niacinamide as well. I do find that the Topicals Faded works a little bit better because of those additional ingredients. Tranexamic acid really is underrated. You might hear the odd person talking about tranexamic acid but I don't hear it enough and I feel like it deserves more hype because it really is beneficial for those that are struggling with dark spots and discoloration. This can be used on a daily basis, especially depending on skin tolerance, but the more consistent you are with this ingredient specifically you will see results. The next ingredient is mandelic acid so this will help to exfoliate your skin. If you're someone that can't use glycolic, lactic, or even salicylic acid for that matter because maybe they're just too harsh and irritating for your skin, then I would say look into mandelic acid because mandelic acid is still a part of the alpha hydroxy acid family, also known as AHAs, but this acid contains a larger molecule which means it's going to take a lot longer to penetrate into the skin."
"Mandelic acid is great for exfoliation and it can help to brighten the skin as well. I really love the one from The Ordinary. I was once really consistent with this product from The Ordinary and I really love it. It's also very hydrating on the skin, super gentle. I've never experienced irritation with it and it can be used every day, but depending on skin tolerance, if you just want to use it a couple of nights per week you can do that. It's a nice alternative to glycolic and lactic acid."

"Mandelic acid is still a part of the AHA family but it also has a large molecule to it as well where it penetrates slower into the skin. There is a lovely mandelic acid from The Ordinary which I do like to use occasionally. It's a nice starter point if you're just starting off with a chemical exfoliant and you're a little bit unsure on how your skin is going to react to an exfoliant."
"I do like the one from The Inky List. This is a serum I was using this when I was experiencing post acne marks back in the past. Tranexamic acid doesn't exfoliate the skin, it helps to block excess pigmentation and it also helps to soothe the skin. This ingredient really is underrated.

"Queen of Thrones does not use hexane. If you are looking for something that is 100% pure extra virgin hexane free, cold pressed and organic, then this brand is lovely to look into. I really love it. My skin doesn't react to it, which is why this is a real gem in my books. If you're using something that is pure like this, you're going to get the same benefits as you would if you're using a product that has a small amount of castor oil mixed with so many other ingredients in the way that's interfering with castor oil. It's best to use something that is 100% pure extra virgin cold pressed organic, especially if you are acne prone and you have sensitive skin, but also if you want to see the full benefits of castor oil, this is the way to go."
"Castor oil, especially 100% virgin cold pressed organic hexane free, isn't supposed to break you out, it's not supposed to clog your pores, it's actually supposed to help clear up acne. I am very acne prone and I have combination skin, and I have never broken out from castor oil. This can help to clear acne and just get giving more of that clear canvas and that more even canvas as well as this can help with discoloration. It has anti-inflammatory properties, so if you're somebody with redness, you have sensitive skin, you have that compromised skin barrier, your skin is inflamed, this can help to calm everything down.

"NATURES BOTOX" CASTOR OIL IS THE GAME-CHANGER YOUR ANTI-AGING SKINCARE ROUTINE NEEDS - 10 HACKS!
"It's not supposed to break you out, it's not supposed to clog your pores. It's actually supposed to help clear up acne. Now, of course, everyone may have a different experience with this. You still may experience breakouts or clog pores, especially if you're someone with oily skin. But I am very acne prone and I have combination skin, and I have never broken out from castor oil. This has never broken me out, so this can help to clear acne and just give more of that clear canvas and that more even canvas. It can also help with discoloration. It has anti-inflammatory properties, so if you're somebody with redness, you have sensitive skin, you have that compromised skin barrier, your skin is inflamed, this can help to calm everything down. It's also antimicrobial, so acne is caused by bacteria on the skin, which is what causes clogged pores and breakouts. This is antimicrobial, which again can help to clear up acne. This can enhance your skin's barrier and it also promotes wound healing as well."
"I like it because it's not sticky or tacky on the skin and it never pills with other skincare products. I find a lot of hyaluronic acid serums can pill depending on what you pair it up with, but I never have issues with this hyaluronic acid serum from Timeless. You don't have to purchase the big size; they do have dropper style bottles if you wish to go with a smaller size. Any hyaluronic acid will work with growth factors and this is a nice pairing to experience that deeper hydration and that plumper look to the skin. Hyaluronic acid can help the growth factors deliver deeper into the skin, plus this pairing is great for skin barrier support. I really do see a difference in terms of that hydration and plumpness."
"I personally dislike that serum I don't like it at all. I find it to be a little irritating but also it pills with all the skincare products that I have used with it so I really don't like that niacinamide serum."

"For me personally it was never a favorite of mine because it pilled with a lot of skincare products and even makeup that I used with it so it was too hit and miss with that serum. I truly don't use it anymore mainly because of that reason but also the added zinc ingredient can sometimes dry out my skin so I never really enjoyed that formulation."
THE ORDINARY'S BEST PRODUCTS FOR OILY/COMBO & ACNE PRONE SKIN!
"This isn't exactly my favorite niacinamide formulation because I do feel like this serum pills a lot in my skincare routines. I think it's because of the products and textures that I am using with the niacinamide serum. For me personally I experienced pilling with this, but it doesn't mean that you're going to experience that; it just depends on what you're using with it. Prior to the products that I'm using now on an everyday basis, I used to use this serum all the time several years ago and I never had an issue with pilling. It layered up nicely and this serum actually worked for my combination skin and for my acne-prone skin. This isn't an acne treatment, but from my experience with using this it really helped to clear up my acne. But as soon as I stopped using this product I felt like my acne came back, so I feel like it's temporary. You do need to use other products with it. This one is great if you have oily combination skin, as niacinamide can help to reduce oil."
"I do like this one because it's at a 5% there's no zinc in here and it has that emulsion texture which is like a milkiness, a milky texture. It is way more hydrating on the skin, way more gentle, it doesn't pill with skincare, and it's a great way to introduce niacinamide within your face skincare products or if you want to start using it on your body. You are getting 100 mls of product, and this will last you forever if you're going to just strictly use this for your face. This is way better in my opinion because of that milky texture, it's more hydrating, more gentle, and I see myself using this a lot come the winter months because niacinamide is great for discoloration, great for acne, hydration, great if you have dry skin, great if you're oily combination. It's great for so many things, and niacinamide is another type of antioxidant and it's wonderful to have if your skin can tolerate it."

"I love that this is at a 5% concentration. I also quite enjoy that milky texture, so perfect for all skin types, and also it's fragrance-free. This is a great product to use just for added hydration, so you don't necessarily have to use this every day, you can just use this when needed. Maybe when your skin is looking a little dull or maybe you have that uneven skin tone going on, or maybe you had a blemish and now you're left with that post-acne mark, then of course this would be a great product to start incorporating to even everything out."
"I love the 10% lactic acid. It's one of my go-to chemical exfoliants because my skin can be dry sometimes, it can be flaky, and it can have that tight feel to the skin as well, especially more so come the winter months. Lactic acid has a larger molecule so it's not as small as glycolic, so this is going to penetrate a little bit slower into the skin, meaning it's going to be more gentle than glycolic acid. Not only does lactic acid help to exfoliate, improve brightness, and help with that uneven skin tone, but there are humectant properties to lactic acid as well, which means that it can be quite hydrating for those that have drier skin types.

"I have been using this product for several years and it's one of my favorite lactic acid serums. The Ordinary offers a 5% strength and the 10%, either one is sufficient, but the 10% is higher strength and I feel like that one works the best on my combination skin. This one would be great for those that have dry skin, combo, oily, normal skin. If you have sensitive skin, possibly you may want to go with the 5% and just start there and see how it goes. I like this one because it is a very gentle formulation. It also contains Tasmanian pepperberry and this ingredient helps to eliminate irritation and inflammation. It really is that nice added ingredient to calm the skin while the lactic acid is doing its job. I've been using this serum for several years and it never ever disappoints."

THE PAULA'S CHOICE 6% MANDELIC ACID + 2% LACTIC ACID LIQUID EXFOLIANT REVIEW - FOR ALL SKIN TYPES!
"From The Ordinary, I like to use the 10% lactic acid and they do have a 5% option as well. From my experience with using this, it has been life-changing. It really is gentle, it gives my skin this beautiful glow, and my skin also feels baby soft as well. This is something that you can use daily, but you can overdo a good thing if you overuse your chemical exfoliants. If you're someone that has more sensitive skin, this could lead to irritation, redness, and you could experience skin purging and breakouts. I would say once or twice a week is sufficient enough, but because this is more gentle, maybe you could use this a little bit more often. It just depends on your skin type, how sensitive it is, and what you're using additionally in your weekly skincare routines."
"This is a wonderful serum for those that have hyperpigmentation stubborn dark spots post acne marks. This is a lovely serum that actually works to fade these areas especially when you are consistent. Right consistency is key with skin care in general you have to be consistent with your skincare products to see results. This one here has Alpha arbutin and this is an ingredient that I have been using for several years. This ingredient is basically a plant-based ingredient to help fade dark spots and discoloration it's very similar in the way that it works to hydroquinone but of course it's a lot safer it's more gentle than hydroquinone. Yes it might take a little bit longer to work compared to hydroquinone but it's an ingredient that can be used by many skin types and it's also a friendly ingredient that can be used alongside retinol tretinoin vitamin C and so on and it can be used every day twice a day. The other ingredient in here that will target discoloration is kojic acid so again this is going to fade dark spots."
"I love the Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream. You guys know that I use this a lot in my nighttime routine but I will occasionally use this in my morning routine as well.

I was using this last year a lot as well and it's one of my favorite products because it performs really well in terms of keeping your skin moisturized and there's a lot of anti-aging ingredients in here to really help firm the skin and address signs of aging. There are nine types of peptides in here, there's also growth factors and the list goes on. This is jam-packed with so many wonderful ingredients to really help with signs of aging. I love using this in my morning routine. I also use this at night time as well, sometimes twice a day, but a lot of the times I am using this at least once a day and more so in my morning routine. Yes, this is pricey, but one pump will literally do your entire face as well as your neck. It has that nice push-down style packaging and you can purchase refills for this as well, so you don't have to keep purchasing the actual container, just buy the refill, pop out the old one, and away you go.

I do like to put this onto damp skin as well for better absorption, especially when you're using hyaluronic acids or the Marine Hyaluronics.

I haven't experienced peeling with this one, which was one of my main reasons why I really didn't like the original hyaluronic acid from The Ordinary. I always had peeling with it, but I haven't experienced peeling with this yet, so I really like this one."

RESULTS GUARANTEED! 10 PRO TRETINOIN/RETINAL PAIRINGS TO LIMIT SKIN IRRITATION AND SIGNS OF AGING
"The Ordinary just recently reformulated their cult favorite hyaluronic acid serum. There were a lot of complaints that people were saying the formulation was just too sticky and too tacky, and I found that to be the same, but I also felt like this pilled a lot with my skincare products. Now the formulation isn't as sticky and tacky, it's more lightweight, and it also does not pill anymore, which is amazing because if you've ever experienced skincare pilling it's awful. They have added ceramides to the formulation, and ceramides are great to have in skincare because they really help to strengthen and repair the skin barrier. That's especially important when you are using actives like tretinoin or retinol as it really does help to prevent transepidermal water loss. With hyaluronic acid, as you know, it's very hydrating and it can plump up the skin as well. This can be used every day twice a day, but this formulation now from The Ordinary is especially great because of the added ceramides that really help to give our skin that extra support."
🚨THE ORDINARY REFORMULATED THEIR BEST SELLING HYALURONIC ACID SERUM AND THIS IS WHY🚨
"I am very excited that they have reformulated this serum because it is supposed to be a lot different in terms of texture and consistency. The reason being is because there were a lot of people that had the same complaints as I did. The formulation was too tacky, too sticky, and it was also very heavy on the skin, and I also found the same thing."
🚨THE ORDINARY REFORMULATED THEIR BEST SELLING HYALURONIC ACID SERUM AND THIS IS WHY🚨
"This was never my favorite formulation because it pilled all the time with my skin care products. I am very excited that they have reformulated this serum because it is supposed to be a lot different in terms of texture and consistency."
🚨THE ORDINARY REFORMULATED THEIR BEST SELLING HYALURONIC ACID SERUM AND THIS IS WHY🚨
"The formulation was too tacky too sticky and it was also very heavy on the skin. The hyaluronic acid just always pilled no matter what serum and product I put on top of it and even when I got to my makeup stage the same thing. Peeling is essentially where your products are reacting with one another and things are just balling off the skin, everything's rolling off the skin and it looks like dead skin on your hands although it's not, it's just your products not layering nicely and everything just starts peeling off the skin. So when this happens you have to wash your face again and start all over and start eliminating products. I always knew it was that hyaluronic acid serum so I stopped using it because of this."
🚨THE ORDINARY REFORMULATED THEIR BEST SELLING HYALURONIC ACID SERUM AND THIS IS WHY🚨
"With this new formulation this is going to give you softer smoother skin within 2 weeks of use, it can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines within 4 weeks of use, and it can help to promote skin elasticity within 4 weeks of use. The more consistent you are with this serum the better, so you can use this every day twice a day if you wish to, or you can just use this once a day if you want to. It's a very gentle formula that can be paired up with anything. Just remember to use your hyaluronic acid serum after cleansing, after a toner or an essence, and then use it within your water-based serums, and if you're using anything thicker like a milky serum or a moisturizer or sunscreen, you want to put those on after your hyaluronic acid serum."
"If you're using azelaic acid on its own and you are consistent with this ingredient, your skin is super bright and it really helps to address that uneven skin tone and it can help to reduce redness as well. I love pairing this up with my prescription tretinoin in my evening routine. If you love azelaic acid and you do have some redness and you're acne prone, then this ingredient is great to pair up with vitamin C."
"The Nutrium Niacinamide Gel Cream at a 5% concentration, 5% is easily tolerated for most skin types, anything above five, especially 10%, can be quite irritating for a lot of skin types. From my experience with this, it's very gentle and it's also very moisturizing on the skin. It is that gel cream formulation, so I really love that. Niacinamide is an antioxidant, so it can address other things as well. Great for those that have acne or dry skin, oily skin, it really does wonders. But it can really help to brighten the skin, especially if you have post-acne marks or dark spots. Niacinamide can also help to prevent transepidermal water loss as well. This has a thicker texture, so if you're using something thinner, you'd want to apply the thinner one first, then this on top. If you like your niacinamides, then I really do recommend this one."
"This is the 10% Azelaic Acid Booster. This was actually the very first azelaic acid product that I ever used and then of course I fell in love with this ingredient. It's a 10% azelaic acid but it also contains licorice root which can help to brighten up your complexion and it can help to reduce redness, and there is salicylic acid in here which can also help with that even skin tone but it can help to unclog your pores and prevent breakouts. If you have any texture on your skin or post-acne marks this does a really good job to get rid of texture and to improve your tone where it's more even in time with consistent use. This is also a very gentle formulation that I've never seen irritation or dryness with. If you are somebody that is sensitive to salicylic acid start slow and gradually increase because perhaps that added ingredient in here might make your skin a little irritated or it might not, but it really is effective."
"This is Maelove's take on copper peptides and I really love this. The ingredients are slightly different from The Ordinary and Neostrata but very comparable. There is Argireline and Matrixyl 3000, which are two types of peptides, there are rice peptides in here, and then of course that copper tripeptide which is that copper ingredient. There's also niacinamide in here, which I believe The Ordinary and Neostrata do not have, and niacinamide is an antioxidant, so this is a fabulous ingredient to address discoloration and post-acne marks and can really help to brighten up the skin. There's also turmeric, there's green tea, there's red algae, there's ceramide in here to help with that skin barrier, there's hyaluronic acid, there's jojoba oil. This is a very hydrating serum that is honestly perfect for all skin types including those that have dry skin. I have combination skin and this works nicely on my skin. I've never experienced breakouts with this and it also layers up nicely with other skincare products. Everything layers up nicely and I've had no issues with peeling."
"This is another serum that contains 10% lactic acid but also this contains 11 types of peptides and I like this serum because we're getting the best of both worlds here. We're getting that lactic to exfoliate to give that brighter appearance to the skin but also those peptides are going to help address signs of aging, fine lines, and help firm the skin. I feel like this is a very gentle formulation as well. I do feel like this would be nice for someone who has more of that sensitive skin type. This is a product that you could use every day because those peptides in there do wonders for the skin."
"I'm still really enjoying the SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic. This one is quite expensive, but if you love SkinCeuticals then I feel like you will really like this serum. I like a lot of products from this brand and this one is one of my favorites because I like how it feels on my skin and it really does work to give that bright complexion as well. This one is very moisturizing in my opinion. I feel like this is going to be a nice option for the winter months. I have been using this on and off for several years now and every time I use it I always love my experience. It does have that 15% L-ascorbic acid, it also has ferulic acid and vitamin E. It still has that thin watery texture but this one does have a little bit of a thickness to the formulation, so it's very moisturizing and my skin feels comfortable for the entire day."
"The last vitamin C that I really love is the Drunk Elephant C-Firma Fresh Day Serum. I've been using their vitamin C on and off for several years and I actually started using this over four years ago and I've always recommended this. I like this formulation a lot it does brighten up your skin but I also feel like this formula really helps to firm the skin as well. The formulation is the same but the packaging has changed since I started this back four years ago so now when you purchase this you get the ascorbic acid powder separately and then they provide you with the serum in a different bottle. When you're ready to use this you're going to mix the two together, you're going to shake this really well and then of course you are ready to use it. I like this because with other vitamin C serums you have no idea how long these products have been sitting on the shelf for or how long they've been sitting in a warehouse for so when you get it you don't know if it's already started to oxidize until you open up the bottle."

I feel like this is more moisturizing than the Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream. This one is definitely thicker and it's also great for everyday twice a day. I do like this for nighttime but I will use this in my morning routine and my makeup and sunscreen also sit nicely on top of this.

"This is a serum that is more hydrating than repairing. If you don't really care about a serum that repairs the skin barrier, then I would say go with this one because this one is more for hydration and plumping. This does have a pineapple camide which is going to help with texture and tone. There is provitamin B5 in here which is a humectant, so this is going to hydrate and plump. There is also hyaluronic acid in here as well. This is very satisfying to use when you just want to add additional hydration."
"I love the NEAD Copper Amino Isolate Serum, this is one of my favorite serums. I love their eye serum as well and I really love the copper peptides, the amino acids plus B5."
"The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% is still lovely and will still be beneficial. Lactic acid really is great for those that have that drier skin type, but if you have that surface dead skin, you have some dryness and you also have dark spots, post-acne marks, that uneven skin tone, then this can really help to brighten up your complexion. It works pretty quickly. This can be used every day and you can use it either in your morning or evening routine, but I don't like to overuse lactic acid because I feel like you can overdo a good thing. I like to use it several times a week, and if I do have any texture then this really helps to diminish that as well. It just gives your skin this beautiful glow."
"The Inkey List has an azelaic acid serum. I like a lot of different types of azelaic acids and you can find a lot of options over the counter. The one from The Inkey List is a serum, whereas The Ordinary's is a cream base. Since being consistent with azelaic acid, I have seen the biggest difference with my skin. I am somebody that has a little bit of redness to my skin naturally, and azelaic acid has really reduced a lot of that rosiness that I was experiencing on my cheeks and my chin. I am also breakout prone, and azelaic acid has really decreased my breakouts. This ingredient is going to really help soften those dark spots, it's going to give you that brighter complexion in time, and hopefully this will improve your redness as well."
"This has a creamy serum so I do feel like this is very moisturizing on the skin and it really does keep the skin nice and comfortable. I've never experienced irritation with this, no dryness nothing. This one also layered up nicely with my other skincare products including sunscreen and makeup. I would recommend to use this in your morning routine but of course you can use this at night time if you wish to. I really like it. I feel like Paula's Choice has some great formulations and this one is really nice especially if you're lacking that brightness and you have that uneven skin tone."
"It has a greenish yellow hue and an earthy scent to it, not strong but mild, coming from the micro algae, but once applied to your skin you don't smell it anymore. If your skin is super tight and you really need moisture and your skin is very dry, go with this one. Apply it on top of your moisturizer, just a couple of drops, and pat it into your skin. This brings your skin back to life. You will have this nice glow to your skin even after rinsing your skin care off the next morning. Your skin will feel softer as well and it really improves the skin barrier. I'm not the biggest fan of facial oils, but when my skin really needs it, especially during the winter months, this is the one I'm always going with because it never ever disappoints. You can use this every day twice a day, but I use this at night time because when I incorporate it in my morning routine with sunscreen and makeup on top of it, it just becomes too heavy and your chances of peeling are a lot higher."
"I am a huge fan of the ordinary copper peptides and that one is half the price. For me personally I wouldn't pick this over the ordinary copper peptides and I also wouldn't choose this over the Neostrata. I feel like the ordinary and Neostrata are formulated perfectly. I have seen the best results with those and for the price point I much prefer to use those. The one from the ordinary and from Neostrata, they contain more anti-aging ingredients and so I just feel like to spend $61 on this, it's just not worth it for me. But I do think it's a great option if you love this brand and you want something that has that creamy texture, something that is a little bit more moisturizing on the skin. This one is not sticky or tacky once it's dried down and it does layer up nicely with the products that I have used with it and it always sat nicely underneath my makeup as well. So although I think this is a lovely option for an anti-aging serum, I just don't feel like it's worth $61 for what it is."
"One of my favorite serums from the drugstore is the Cocoa Kind Ceramide Barrier Serum. This is hands down one of the best serums to add hydration but also to help strengthen and repair the skin barrier. This one has several different types of ceramides which help to strengthen the skin barrier, but there's also squalene and beta glucan. Beta glucan is very similar to hyaluronic acid so it does help to hydrate and plump but it's not as heavy as hyaluronic acid. So this in my opinion is a very lightweight formulation but it has that milkiness to it as well. When your skin needs that hydration or you really need to strengthen your skin barrier, maybe it's compromised, then that milky texture really feels nice on the skin. This spreads across the skin nicely as well. I have used this many times in my morning routine. This always sits nicely underneath my moisturizer, my sunscreen and my makeup. You can use this every day twice a day or you can just use it when you need it. This is very underrated. This feels very luxurious. A lot of their products feel very high-end to me and this product is one of the best in my opinion."
"This Serum is pretty sticky and tacky. That's why this acts as that perfect makeup primer because your foundation and all of your makeup grips and sticks to this serum and it does a fabulous job for longevity. You will also get this beautiful glow to your skin as well. So if you do like that radiance and that nice glow, you're going to get that with this. This really does perform well and I love that complexion so much. I do like to use this one quite a bit especially if I have somewhere special to go. You could still put your moisturizer on top of this and still get that nice effect, but if I have somewhere really special to go and I seriously want that nice glow and I want my makeup to really grip on top of this, I don't even put a moisturizer or even a sunscreen on top of this. I will just go in with my serums, use this as the last serum in my skincare routine so that I get that stickiness and that tackiness and then I might wait maybe five minutes before I put my foundation on. Your foundation just grips so nicely on top of this."

IF I COULD ONLY PICK 1 PRODUCT FROM MY FAVORITE SKINCARE BRANDS | FYI...THIS WAS REALLY HARD!
"I chose the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops. I love niacinamide because it does so many wonderful things, but I love this formulation. This will give your skin that dewy glowy complexion and it actually acts as a makeup primer as well, so you can use this several different ways. You can use this before your foundation, you can mix a few drops of this into your foundation, but then of course you can just use this in your skincare routine and it's amazing. Niacinamide is great if you have dark spots, you have post acne marks, great if you're oily, if you're acne prone, but then of course if you have dry skin niacinamide is wonderful as well and it actually prevents trans epidermal water loss. This is a very plumping formula but you will get that dewy glowing complexion. It doesn't dry down matte, so if you don't like that finish then you probably won't like this either. There is a little bit of a tacky feel with this as well, which is why this works great as a makeup primer because your foundation and your makeup just grips on top of this so nicely. I like to use this more so in my morning routine but I have used this many times at night time and it works just as good. The smell is incredible, so if you are sensitive to fragrance you may not like this, but I really love this formula and this really is one of the best products."

"This product will plump your skin like a dream if you want that plumpness and that youthful look. This one has five different types of hyaluronic acids, but this one contains polyglutamic acid. This ingredient is very similar to hyaluronic acid but it holds on to four times more moisture than hyaluronic acid, so we have two ingredients here that will plump and hydrate. I feel like because of that polyglutamic acid ingredient, this just takes your skin to the next level in terms of plumpness. This is very lightweight, it has that whipped gel texture, perfect for all skin types. This is another one that works great as a makeup primer. This one will leave your skin a little bit sticky and tacky so with that being said, your foundation and all of your makeup just sticks so nicely on top of this, which will give you that longevity with your makeup and of course you will get that nice glow. But if you don't like that sticky tackiness, then think twice about this because this will leave your skin feeling like that even if you don't wear makeup."
"I find this serum to be a little bit thicker and it's also very hydrating on the skin. There's peptides in here, but this one has five bioengineered growth factors. It's still going to repair the skin, hydrate, stimulate collagen, and firm, but it just has different ingredients in it. This is way better than the original needleless serum in my opinion because I love the growth factors in here. And this really does firm the skin and I find this gives a glow to the skin as well. This can also be used twice a day."

"This is 10 out of 10 as well. And I have really seen a big difference with this in terms of firming, but also the amount of hydration and plump that it gives the skin. This will be a great one for the winter months. And I just really love this. So fragrance-free, great for all skin types."
5 NEXT LEVEL ANTI-AGING SERUMS THAT ACTUALLY FIRM SKIN AND MINIMIZE SIGNS OF AGING
"This is really nice and it has a pump. I do about two pumps to cover my face and my neck, maybe an extra pump for my neck, but two to three pumps is really all you need. And it spreads really nicely. I've never experienced irritation nor peeling. This sits really nicely with other skincare products. You can use it twice a day or just once a day, and you would use this within your serum after cleansing, after a facial mist or an essence, but before your moisturizer."
"This is a really easy and friendly product to use and it's satisfying enough just using this. It's really hydrating. It spreads nicely. All you need is like two or three pumps to cover your face as well as your neck. It does have a little bit of a cloudy milkiness to it, but it spreads nice and it's not sticky or tacky. It really has a beautiful formulation. The Allies of Skin brand is quite expensive, but their formulations are quite advanced. The ingredients that they use are more advanced, and some of the ingredients that you see in some of their products, you don't see with other brands. They also have a good concentration of key ingredients in each of their products with a good amount of percentage for each of those key ingredients. This one especially is worth the money. While I was testing this, I was using this every day. I did notice the first thing was hydration. My skin was so plump and hydrated. And then after a few weeks, I did feel like my skin was starting to firm up a little bit."

So with continuous use and using this long term, maybe going through two bottles, you might really see a big difference with your skin."

There's peptides in here, growth factors, phospholipids, glyolipids to help keep the skin hydrated, repaired. There's also MSM in here.

You can pair this up with retinaldehyde, with retinol. You can also pair this up with other types of peptide serums, niacinamide if you want to, azelaic acid. You can use this with a lot of things. The more consistent you can be, the better. And this works. This really does work."

This can be used twice a day if you want to, or you can just use it once a day. This does have a little bit of a milkiness to it, so I generally like to apply this as one of the last serums in my skincare routine before your moisturizer and sunscreen. If you have any serums that are very thin and watery or an essence, use that first, then go in with this, and then your moisturizer and sunscreen."

"This one from Allies of Skin is absolutely beautiful and I just really love the formulation and how this has performed on my skin. I was using this everyday twice a day during the late spring summer months and I was obsessed. I have been talking a lot about this product since the spring and I really love it. Growth factors are wonderful for signs of aging. They help to stimulate collagen as well. They also help to firm the skin, addressing fine lines and wrinkles, but it also has the ability to heal our skin as well. So if you're someone with sensitive skin, you have that compromised skin barrier, maybe you're someone that does microneedling at home or you go in office and do it, maybe laser, and sometimes our skin is left a little compromised. Well, growth factors would be great to use post treatment to help speed up that healing process with our skin, but at the same time, we're getting the benefits of anti-aging with stimulating collagen and so on. Plus, we have peptides in here that do the same thing. There's MSM, which is a type of antioxidant that can actually help to protect and shield our skin from pollution. There's phospholipids and glyolipids in here to help repair, strengthen the skin, also providing hydration. And this is very hydrating and plumping. I feel like a lot of their serums are hydrating and plumping, but this one especially gives the most beautiful plump to the skin."

"I love this brand and I will still continue to use this brand. Ascorbic acid has a lower pH. It's more acidic. And so, this is going to create that cell turnover and it works a little bit quicker. With vitamin C derivatives, they have a higher pH around five or six. The same pH is what your skin is naturally, which is why it tends to be more gentle, but with derivatives, they can take a little bit longer to work as well. In my opinion, and from my experience, it really is just the acidity of the vitamin C that caused this instant reaction with my skin. So, right after I applied it, within a half an hour, my skin started to feel quite tight, almost like I didn't have enough moisture on my skin. So that led me to apply more moisturizer on my skin. And then again, within an hour or so, I felt very tight, especially around my mouth. And then I started to get this warming sensation with my skin."

It has a few different peptides but there's also a copper peptide complex in here which is another reason why I love this one so much because I am the biggest fan of copper peptides. I truly believe that this ingredient is really effective it does help to stimulate new collagen just like peptides do but with copper peptides I just feel like I see a bigger difference with my skin in terms of how it looks more firm. Besides the peptides here there is niacinamide and I am one of the biggest fans of this ingredient as it really does help to even out your skin tone and it's a great antioxidant that really helps to prevent transepidermal water loss so it does help to hydrate the skin. It's great for acne prone skin and for those that have oily skin but even if you have dry skin niacinamide can be wonderful to incorporate as it really does help to hydrate and prevent water loss."

I'm very careful on how I use copper peptides because there's a lot of ingredients that can conflict with the copper ingredient, and then it just won't be as effective on the skin. So I usually only pair this up with growth factors or other peptide serums, or sometimes I will even use this with a vitamin C derivative in my morning skincare routine.

All 21 takes on 20% Vitamin C + E + Ferulic Acid Serum
AMPLIFIED RESULTS! 9 PRO VITAMIN C PAIRINGS TO LIMIT SIGNS OF AGING- ACHIEVING RADIANT/GLOWING SKIN
"C serum that also contains ferulic acid and vitamin E they do have a 10% option as well if you wish to use something at a lower strength the 10% is amazing I've used it many times over the years it's also really effective it does give that brighter complexion but if you want something with a little bit more of that punch go with the 20% especially if your skin can tolerate this strength and be consistent this formula is truly on point it's very thin and lightweight it's like water your skin absorbs it really nicely and it's definitely one of my favorite vitamin C formulations on the market."
13 BEST ANTI-AGING SKINCARE PRODUCTS 2024 | AGING BACKWARDS OVER 30 - THESE ACTUALLY WORK!
"I love this vitamin C serum and it's one of the only vitamin C's that I have been using the longest. I have been using this brand and this product for at least 7 years, it could even be longer than that. Vitamin C is a great ingredient to use in your morning skincare routine because it can help to protect and shield your skin from everyday stressors and pollution, but vitamin C can also help to brighten up your complexion. It can also fade dark spots and discoloration. It targets fine lines and wrinkles. I love this formulation from Timeless because it's effective. They have a 20% L ascorbic acid, which is the purest form of vitamin C. These can be a little bit unstable and can oxidize fairly quickly, so especially if you're purchasing the pump style, you want to use it up as quickly as possible within 2 to 3 months and you want to keep these in the fridge to help prolong the shelf life."

"I love the 20 the best because I really do see a big difference when I'm consistent with these and I have been super consistent with Timeless for the last 6 years actually. It never disappoints. I love how they have different size options in their pumps and their pricing is pretty reasonable and honestly it's very comparable to SkinCeuticals vitamin C but at a lower price. This also contains vitamin E, ferulic acid, hyaluronic acid, very hydrating. It doesn't pill, it's not sticky or tacky and it just works like a dream."

"This one from Timeless is a 20% and they also have a 10% option as well so it won't be as harsh and irritating for some. This one I feel works the best on my skin, my skin tolerates really well to this. There's ferulic acid and vitamin E in here and it's very thin and lightweight and it really does the job to brighten up the complexion. This one is ascorbic acid which is the purest form of vitamin C, the most unstable form and also the vitamin C that I feel works the best and that works the quickest. This is absolutely outstanding. I put a couple of pumps into my hand and apply it in my morning routine."

"I know some vitamin C's can be a little irritating on the skin, this could be for some people, but I do believe that allantoin in here really helps to calm the skin and it just helps to soothe the skin at the same time. So I really love this when I have a lot of post acne marks or maybe my skin is looking a little dull. This is what I go for. I just find this one works the best for me when I'm experiencing a lot of discoloration. Vitamin C can be a wonderful ingredient to really help fade discoloration and to help prevent as well."

"This is the one from Timeless, the 20%, and this is great if you have discoloration or a dull complexion. Vitamin C can help to produce new collagen, so of course as we get older that skin on our hands starts to thin, so it's nice to use products to help build new collagen and to also improve the tone of our skin as well. Vitamin C is great for this."
MY MORNING ANTI-AGING SKINCARE ROUTINE | A.M. SUMMER SKINCARE ROUTINE | OVER 30
"You guys know how much I love this formula. This really is effective to brighten up your skin, so if you have adult complexion, let's say you have post acne marks or dark spots, vitamin C can really help to fade these over time, especially a 20% formulation. I love this because it's very lightweight and it's very similar to the SkinCeuticals vitamin C serum, but it's really affordable and it comes in several different sizes. I've never experienced pilling with this serum either, which is why I love this so much. There are some vitamin C serums out there that could pill depending on what skincare products you pair it with, but I just feel like this is a very gentle formulation. Even though this is a 20%, I don't feel like I experience irritation at all."
BEAUTY PRODUCT'S I'VE USED UP || BEAUTY EMPTIES 2024
"I have an empty Timeless 20% vitamin C serum, and this is one of my Holy Grail vitamin C's. I love the Timeless brand, and I really like the 20% specifically, though they do have a 10% option if you wish to use something at a lower strength. I like it because it's very thin, lightweight, it's watery, it absorbs into your skin so nicely with no peeling whatsoever, and it's really effective. It gives that brighter appearance, it treats fine lines and wrinkles. There are many size options to pick from as well, so different price points. I love it, so of course I'm going to continue on with it."
THE TRUTH ABOUT COLLAGEN BANKING | WHY IT'S THE NEW ANTI-AGING TREND - BEST ANTI-AGING SKINCARE 2025
"This is from Timeless. This is their 20% vitamin C serum. It really doesn't matter what type of vitamin C you're using, whether it's ascorbic acid like this, the purest form, or vitamin C derivatives. Vitamin C in general is an ingredient that will help to protect and shield our skin from everyday pollution. These are best used in our morning skincare routines because when we're running errands, we're walking our dog, we're going to work, pollution is going to degrade our collagen. Not only is this going to protect our skin, reserving the collagen, but this is also going to help stimulate new collagen as well. You can use your vitamin C's at night time also if you wish to, but they really are best used in the morning and that's when I use it and it also gives a brighter complexion as well."
5 SKINCARE PRODUCTS TO ACHIEVE A BRIGHTER COMPLEXION IN JUST 30 DAYS OR LESS - RESULTS GUARANTEED!
"My go-to vitamin C is the pure form ascorbic acid. I love the Timeless vitamin C, they have a 20% and a 10%. If you really want that brighter look in a shorter amount of time, this one gives almost that immediate brightness to the skin within a couple of days to a week from my experience with it. If you have post-acne marks or you have that uneven skin tone and you just want to use this to even out your skin, then I would say try it. It's great. It has vitamin E in here which actually has more antioxidant properties to it, and there is hyaluronic acid. I keep this in the fridge and it's lovely."
AGING BACKWARDS OVER 30 | BEST ANTI-AGING SKINCARE PRODUCTS OF 2023 | THESE ACTUALLY WORK!
"This is my Holy Grail. This is at a 20% concentration of ascorbic acid. This one also has vitamin E and ferulic acid. Same thing, watery texture that absorbs into the skin really nicely. This one comes in a pump style packaging, whereas the other one comes in a dropper style. I like the pump because I don't have to worry about this oxidizing as quickly. I mean, you want to use your vitamin C up as quickly as possible within a 3 to 4 month time span, especially when it's an ascorbic style of packaging. Also, if you don't want the 20% option, Timeless offers a 10% vitamin C strength as well if you wish to use that, and there are different size options with Timeless as well. So I love these two so much and I highly recommend either one."
MY MORNING ANTI-AGING SKINCARE ROUTINE - A.M. SUMMER SKINCARE ROUTINE USING VITAMIN C
"I love the Timeless vitamin C especially the 20%. I like Timeless and I'm still using it. These types of vitamin C's are very unstable and they oxidize very quickly because this is the purest form of vitamin C, L-ascorbic acid or ascorbic acid. Once you open up these types of vitamin C's they oxidize almost immediately so you want to use them up as quickly as possible."
BEAUTY EMPTIES 2023 | PRODUCT'S I'VE USED UP.. WILL I REPURCHASE?
"It's one of my favorite formulations because it works really quickly, it gives that nice glow to the skin, it helps to fade dark spots and post-acne marks. It's very thin and lightweight, your skin absorbs it really nicely and it always layers up nicely with other skincare products including your makeup. Vitamin C is always a part of my skincare routine because it really is a great product to give that nice brighter complexion but it also helps to target signs of aging at the same time. I do like to keep this in the fridge to prolong the life of it as this is a pure form of vitamin C so it does tend to oxidize fairly quickly, so once you've opened this up you want to use it up as quickly as possible."

"Timeless is one of my favorite skincare brands of all time, specifically their vitamin C serum is like one of the best that they offer. This is actually their most popular product if I really had to guess because everybody talks about the Timeless vitamin C. You can purchase their pump style packaging or these single use pouches which is great if you travel a lot, maybe you don't like pump style packaging, you go away a lot on weekends, then this is great to throw in your bag and it literally takes up no room. One pouch is one use so make sure that you put that all over your face, your neck and your chest, make sure you use every last drop. I do keep these in the fridge."

I would generally apply the Timeless 20% vitamin C serum first, then I would go in with this afterward because it does have a milky consistency and then moisturizer and sunscreen of course. You don't have to pair the two up together but they do work really well with one another. They're great pairings to enhance results."

"The one that I love is the Timeless 20% vitamin C. When I'm using this in my morning routine I do not use growth factors or copper peptides because according to the ordinary they don't recommend for you to use copper peptides or growth factors with pure forms of vitamin C. I love the results that I see with this serum specifically and I just love how nourishing it is on the skin as well. Great for all skin types. I also put this underneath my eyes as well. I've never experienced issues."

"This is one of the vitamin C's that I have been using the longest so I know that this is effective and that this works which is why I always recommend it. My skin resonates really well with the 20. I see better results, quicker results with the 20 versus the 10, but the 10 is just as good, it's just not as powerful. If you are somebody with more of that sensitive skin type then I would say use the 10% first and then move up to a 20 if that is your goal in time. This is a pure form of vitamin C, ascorbic acid, so this is the most unstable form of vitamin C, but in my opinion it's the most effective, especially if you compare this to vitamin C derivatives."

If you struggle with a dull complexion or you have some post acne marks dark spots it really does brighten the heck out of your skin. The Timeless vitamin C is one of the best on the market especially from what I have used and you just can't go wrong with this brand. It's really affordable. There's different size options and if you don't want to use the 20% strength which is this then they have a 10% and it's a little bit less potent but at the end of the day it still works really well and you still get great results."

"I really like this serum because it's very hydrating, it has that milky consistency, it's also very plumping. It contains hyaluronic acid, but coenzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant which pairs nicely with your vitamin C serums so it will help with fine lines. It can help to protect the skin from everyday stressors and it can give that brighter complexion. This formulation also contains Matrixyl 3000, which is a type of peptide, and peptides help to firm the skin. It can also help to produce new collagen as well. I've always enjoyed this serum from Timeless, especially paired up with their vitamin C serum."

"Coenzyme Q10 is another fabulous anti-aging serum to address fine lines and wrinkles. It can help to rebuild collagen and elastin and it can also help with a brighter complexion and to fade any discoloration. Coenzyme Q10 is also a fabulous option if you're someone that can't tolerate retinol or retinoids or tretinoin, this is a great alternative option to use instead if you can't use those other higher strength products. I love pairing coenzyme Q10 with my vitamin C serum, and I love pairing this up with the Timeless one. What I do is I will apply the vitamin C serum first after cleansing, and then once I've applied my vitamin C serum I will go in and apply the coenzyme Q10 serum, then my moisturizer, and then my sunscreen. The coenzyme Q10 serum has a milkiness to it so the texture is a little bit thicker, which is why I like to apply this after my vitamin C."

6 POWERFUL ANTI-AGING SKINCARE PRODUCTS TO LIFT, TIGHTEN, AND FIRM SKIN - SINCERELY MISS ASH
"At one point I was really consistent with the Timeless Coenzyme Q10 and it really made a big difference with my skin. I just started using this again and I thought I have to mention this in this video because coenzyme Q10 really does make a big difference with that firming effect with the skin, as long as you're consistent of course. So you can use this every day twice a day. It does have that milky consistency to it and I love pairing up coenzyme Q10 with vitamin C, specifically ascorbic acid. This goes really nicely with vitamin C, so I generally put the vitamin C serum on first then this afterwards then my moisturizer and then my sunscreen. If you want something that is antioxidant-based for your routines then I would say look into coenzyme Q10."
"This is a peptide serum that addresses fine lines and wrinkles and to help firm the skin. This is also very hydrating as well, and it could be paired with retinol, with tretinoin, you can pair this up with a lot of things. I really like this one more so over the Timeless Matrixyl 3000. If you're starting to experience more accelerated signs of aging, loss of firmness, fine lines, then I would say go with Matrixyl Synthe 6. I think it works a lot better from my experience with it. I do have a backup so I will be continuing with this for sure."

"Matrixyl Synthe 6 is more for accelerated signs of aging. You are starting to develop fine lines and wrinkles, then I would say go with Synth 6. This one from Timeless is exceptional, super hydrating, it never pills with other skin care products. You can use this paired up with your retinol at night time or tret, you can also use this in the morning if you wish, up to twice a day. Once a day is honestly sufficient enough, but if you want to use this twice a day go for it, it's safe enough to do so. It's a peptide, it's not going to be irritating on the skin at least for most people, and it's a great product to use to firm the skin. It can also help to stimulate new collagen as well. If you're starting to see signs of aging, that sagging of the skin, go with the Matrixyl Synth 6 because I truly believe that you will see better results with this one."

"This is one of my favorites for fall and even transitioning into the winter months. I don't necessarily use this during the summer because I just feel like it's a little bit too much for my combination skin. It is very moisturizing but at the same time it's very lightweight and it doesn't feel heavy on the skin and it has that nice spreadability. It's not super thick, which is why I feel like this is a great cream to transition from summer to fall. You can use this in the morning even though this is marketed as a night cream, it just depends if this is going to work well with the types of makeup and sunscreen that you are pairing with it. I have used this a handful of times in my morning routine and it's nice, it does give a glow to your skin. I mainly keep this for my nighttime routine paired with trojan copper peptides and chemical exfoliants. It just has that nice richness without feeling heavy."

TOP 5 ANTI-AGING SKINCARE INGREDIENTS | WRINKLES, DARK SPOTS AND MORE | THESE ACTUALLY WORK!
"If you wish to use a cream based product that contains peptides then I really love the Dermatology Peptide Night Cream. I really like this one specifically for the fall winter months because it's very rich and very moisturizing but you're also getting the benefits of those peptide ingredients. I feel like if I pair this up with let's say the Polish Choice peptide serum or some other type of peptide serum I just feel like the two work really well together. Of course it's not necessary to use a peptide serum with a peptide cream one or the other is sufficient enough. This is a night cream this is thicker and richer so you could use this in your morning routine you may or may not feel like this is suited based on the types of sunscreens you use or the makeup it is a little bit heavier for day time but now that we're coming into fall this actually might be a great option for you. I like to keep this strictly for my nighttime routine."
"It really did help to clarify my skin and keep it balanced. It really did help to reduce on the shininess and the oil that can accumulate during the day. It did help to brighten up my skin and it did help to improve skin texture as well. This is very hydrating and very gentle. It's not sticky or tacky. It is very, very lightweight on the skin. Everything layered up really nicely and I didn't have any peeling."
"This is generally the cream that I like to use at nighttime paired up with tretinoin or other actives because it's very rich, repairing, and moisturizing on the skin, but it's not overly heavy, and it doesn't leave a greasy, sticky finish either to the skin. It actually really is beautiful. This is K-beauty if you're not familiar with the Aestura brand. I'm just going to apply the smallest amount of product, and the reason being is because I've already applied those serums prior to the tretinoin. And because tretinoin is creamy as well, I really don't need additional moisture, but I still like to apply a thin layer of moisturizer just to keep my skin as moisturized as possible and as comfortable as possible. This is fragrance-free. It's great for all skin types and I just really love this with actives. So, if you have dry skin, tight skin, or your skin tends to be a little bit reactive with tretinoin or retinol, this would be a really nice option to use on top of it, or you could do the sandwich technique with this cream along with your tretinoin where you put a layer of this on first, then your tretinoin."

"This is K-beauty and I really love this one a lot. It's great for dry to sensitive skin, but honestly, any skin type could use this. What I really like is the triple lipid beads inside -- it's a complex that has ceramides, cholesterol, and all of the fatty acids that help to nourish and repair the skin. There's also a patented barrier-boosting ceramide blend that actually helps to fill in the gaps of sensitive, dry skin, filling in all those gaps that are lacking hydration and moisture, and it just gives that overall moisture and nourishment to the skin while plumping it at the same time. There are other ingredients like niacinamide, betaine, and glycerin, and so many others to nourish and repair the skin barrier. This one is great for the morning; it sits great with sunscreen and makeup, no peeling, your skin looks so healthy and you get this glow. It's also great to use at night, especially with actives or just on its own. I can see this one being absolutely fabulous for the winter."

"If you want something that is thicker, I would definitely recommend trying the Aestura Atobarrier 365 Cream. This is one cream I've been using quite a bit this winter, especially in my evening routine. I have also used it a lot in my morning routine, as it actually sits really nicely underneath sunscreen and makeup, no peeling. It is richer and more moisturizing, and it will leave a glow to your skin, a little bit of a shiny finish. If you don't love that, maybe keep this one for nighttime. It's excellent especially if you are somebody that is acne-prone and deals with post-acne marks, because the '3' means there are three blemish relief ingredients in here: resveratrol, niacinamide, and hibiscus flower extract. There are four nourishing ingredients like ceramides and panthenol, and five soothing ingredients like beta-glucan and centella asiatica. So this is truly great for all skin types and all skin concerns, and it's a really nice one that can be paired up with anything."

BEST KOREAN SKINCARE TRIO FOR ANTI-AGING AND GLOWING SKIN
"There's no fragrance. It's very lightweight and I just love the finish that it gives the skin because once it dries down, it's skin-like. It just looks like your skin. So, it's not super shiny. It's not mattifying and it just makes your skin feel so good. And when I have post acne marks, it actually does help to brighten up the skin, especially those areas. This has a lot of ceramides in here as well, lipids, cholesterol, fatty acids. This one is more lightweight and perfect for your morning routine."
"I've been using this after my serums, but before the application of a thicker moisturizer, and my skin has been loving it. It really helps to repair the skin. It deeply hydrates the skin. It helps with texture. It really helps to reduce the look of facial redness. This is amazing. It's very lightweight. It's not sticky. This doesn't break me out. This is good for acne prone skin as well, oily skin. If you're using serums and products beforehand, you need less drops of this because it just spreads across the skin a little bit better. But if you're just using this on its own right after cleansing, you might need to be more generous with the amount that you apply. This is exceptional. This is 10 out of 10."

THE ORDINARY RICE LIPIDS + ECTOIN REVIEW | I TESTED THIS FOR 3 WEEKS AND HERE'S THE TRUTH!
"This on its own actually was quite nice, but it's not enough for me, especially during the winter months. I could see this being suited best used on its own come spring and definitely summer. But I wouldn't just use this on its own. This actually might be a great product to resort to for that lightweight moisturizer during the summer months, but for the winter, in my opinion, it's just not enough. I would rather put a thicker moisturizer on top of this to lock in the moisture from this, provide my skin with more moisture, and when I do that, my skin just feels so much better. Rice lipids helps to retain skin hydration. It really helps to prevent transepidermal water loss. So it helps to keep that skin nice and plump in those deeper layers. Ectoin helps to smooth out the skin. So if you have any type of texture, I feel like ectoin can do a really good job to wipe that out, giving that softer, smoother look and feel to the skin. Jojoba oil is going to nourish the skin and the natural moisturizing factors in here will help to maintain skin hydration."
"This really is one of the thickest, richest creams I have ever used. If you are truly looking for something that is thick like toothpaste, something that really repairs the skin and repairs the skin quite quickly when your skin is burning and it has that itchy, dry feel, you are going to really love this. It does have copper and zinc to help replenish your skin's moisture. This one is honestly suited for your nighttime routine. If you're someone that wears foundation and makeup, this is a little rich and thick to be using with makeup and a little bit too rich to use underneath sunscreen. I do like to have this on hand for those days where my skin feels angry, but especially for those winter cold months. My skin can get quite irritated and dry during the winter and this always saves my skin."

TOP BEAUTY PRODUCTS I'VE REPURCHASED OVER AND OVER AGAIN | SKINCARE & HAIRCARE WORTH EVERY PENNY

It's a great recovery repairing moisturizer that does perform and it works really quickly to relieve that irritation. It also helps to reduce the look of facial redness due to irritation. It's a great product to have on hand especially if you're someone that is just starting out with retinol or tretinoin. This will help to condition the skin and it may help to prevent further dryness and irritation from that retinol or tretinoin. This does have copper and zinc in it to help replenish your skin's moisture and it does help to keep your skin barrier nice and strong as well."
BUDGET FRIENDLY DRUGSTORE SKINCARE THAT YOU NEED TO TRY NOW IN 2024 - THESE GIVE THAT "WOW" FACTOR!
"This has that additional vitamin E ingredient and I love this. This is now a staple in my routine. This is the Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream and this is amazing. I am just so impressed with this formulation. This is hands down way better and performs better than the La Roche Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 in my opinion. This is richer, it's more moisturizing, it's more satisfying to use when your skin is uncomfortable, dry, and flaky and tight. This is more repairing and your skin just looks and feels incredible. If your skin is compromised, this heals your skin a lot quicker than anything else really that I have tried. This is even better than that. This is just way thicker and just more satisfying to use. It has that copper and zinc ingredient in here which helps to replenish your skin's natural barrier, and so even if you don't have a compromised skin barrier, this is still great to use every day twice a day."

HOW TO REPAIR YOUR SKIN BARRIER - BEST SKIN BARRIER REPAIR PRODUCTS FOR HEALTHY, GLOWING SKIN!
"If you're looking for a cream that repairs the heck out of your skin, this is very thick, almost like toothpaste, but surprisingly once you apply it to your skin it doesn't feel heavy on the skin and you don't have this white look to your skin either. It actually absorbs quite nicely into the skin, but it is a little greasy and you will have this glow to your skin as well. I strictly keep this for my nighttime routine when my skin needs some TLC. I use this a lot actually in the winter months when my skin is super dry and I'm using tretinoin. It does the trick. It has thermal spring water which Avène is known for, but it also has copper and zinc which helps to soothe and repair your skin barrier, and it is exceptional. This is more repairing, more nourishing, and moisturizing."

"This is the Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream. I have been using this for years and this always needs to be in my collection, especially during the winter months. If you've been struggling to find an everyday cream that actually helps to repair dryness and to repair that compromised skin barrier, then you need to try the Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream. If they ever discontinued this, I truly don't know what I would do. This has copper and zinc to help repair the skin. It's thick like toothpaste and very emollient. I only use this at night time because this is a little bit too rich to use in the morning alongside sunscreen and makeup, but if your skin is just super red and inflamed, this will calm everything down. I really really love this and this is a non-negotiable, this is a must have. This just always needs to be in my collection. If you haven't tried this and you're prone to sensitivities, dryness, and irritation, you need to try this 100%."
"I have the face cream version of this, the Ado Barrier 365 cream. And honestly, I use that cream almost every day, twice a day right now. It is very rich but lightweight. I use it alongside tininoan. I will use it with vitamin C, copper peptides. It's my go-to cream right now. I just love the way that it makes my skin look and feel. Great for all skin types. It's also fragrance-free. This is K beauty. I have combination skin. I'm very acne prone and that cream never ever breaks me out. It is amazing and I think it's going to be great for the winter months."
"I have been using this non-stop since the spring. I love the formulation. It's lightweight. It provides a light to medium coverage. You can build this up to a full coverage if you need to. And I love the ingredients in here. There's a lot of skin care ingredients like a triple hyaluronic complex which helps to deeply hydrate the skin. There's squaline in here, niainamide and of course the list goes on. This sits really nice underneath other types of makeup products like cream blushes, liquid blushes, cream bronzers. Everything that I have applied on top of this has sat really nicely. It's longwearing as well and it gives a natural dewy finish to the skin which I personally like. So, if you love matte skin, you probably won't like this unless you just use some translucent powder on top of it. But, I think this is going to be exceptional coming into the winter months when we lack that moisture and we're looking for that natural dewy glow to our skin. I think this is going to be exceptional and it's great for all skin types. I have combination skin and I'm also very acne prone. This never breaks me out. It doesn't clog my pores."

It just gives this nice healthy glow to your skin and I just think it is beautiful. It is that true light to medium coverage. You could possibly build this up to a full.

This is the new formulation and it contains dimethicone now, which is a silicone, and that is the only difference with the new formulation. I feel like there's been a lot of mixed reviews on this, but I honestly haven't had an issue with it. I actually feel like it performs pretty much the same as the original one, except for this has silicone now. I think this is still great.

This is also great in the morning as well, especially if you're using a sunscreen that is really lightweight.

It has 5% dimethicone in the formulation, which is silicone and gives you that nice slip to the skin, it's a great conditioning agent. There's also vitamin B5, also known as panthenol, there's shea butter in here and madecassoside. I like it, I really do."

If you're someone that gets a lot of treatments done with your skin, so maybe laser, microneedling, then this is great to use post-treatment. I think this is one of the best. La Roche-Posay really is one of the best drugstore brands, but this product is probably their best seller.

It also has a 3% lifting peptide, so this is going to help firm and lift the skin. There's also 3% ceramides in here to keep that skin barrier nice and strong. It's going to prevent water loss.

"This is the Extreme Cream, a lifting and firming moisturizer that you can use all over the face and bring down your neck and chest. I really like this because not only is it going to help lift, firm, and tighten and address fine lines and wrinkles, but the formulation is extremely moisturizing and repairing, which is really important, especially for the neck and chest area. It contains a triceramic complex, and ceramides are great to strengthen and repair the skin barrier but they can also help prevent moisture loss and transepidermal water loss. We want to keep that moisture in the skin because our skin is going to look healthier, it's going to stay moisturized and balanced. This is great for fall and winter but it's great for all year round. I was using this back when it was a lot warmer outside and it just was wonderful. It wasn't too heavy, it's not too thick, it's just perfect. This also contains a bio retinol, so this is a plant-based retinol that is more gentle than a regular retinol product. If you're a beginner and you're not sure how your skin would react to something like this, or if you have really sensitive skin, this would be a good option."

"This one is very gentle. I've been testing this ever since I received it and I had to include it in this video because it really is a nice neck cream that can address all signs of aging. There is an ingredient in here called bakuchiol. Now this is a plant-based alternative to retinol. So way more gentle than retinol, retinoin or even retinaldehyde. It will do very similar things to what retinol does but it's more gentle. There's another ingredient in here called micro peptide. So, this is actually a patented technology. It's a microsized peptide that will help to lift and firm the skin and help to stimulate new collagen. There's also another ingredient in here called neoglucosamine. So, this is actually going to help gently exfoliate the skin, which is really important, especially for the neck area. We want to get rid of any surface dead skin. And we want to improve skin quality and this of course will help to retexturize everything creating more of that softer, smoother feel and this of course will lead to a brighter complexion as well.

The formulation really is beautiful for all skin types including dry skin, and for those that tend to get tight skin this really is satisfying to use when your skin is dry. But it's even better for those that have oily combination skin and for those that are acne prone that have post acne marks because there is niacinamide in here which helps to control and balance oil and it does brighten and fade dark spots. There's also ceramides in here and hyaluronic acid to hydrate and plump and prevent water loss, and it's super lightweight. It's honestly one of the nicest summertime moisturizers."
"Tretinoin is the one product that I've been the most consistent with out of everything that I have shared in this video. I have been using Tretinoin for 6 years and I have loved my experience. I don't necessarily love the flakiness and the irritation that came with this product, which by the way is very common, most people experience dryness and irritation, but if you can be patient and get through that process you really won't experience that anymore. Once your skin becomes accustomed to retinol, your skin will just be glowy and looking its best. Tretinoin really is a product that does it all. It softens fine lines, it helps to improve texture and tone, it really does fade discoloration and post acne marks, and it can also help with cell turnover, stimulates new collagen, great for acne prone skin. It literally does it all. It's the gold standard product that is proven to work and it is considered a medication in most countries. Here in Canada my dermatologist prescribes this to me."

"I decided that my neck tolerated well too so that I can still treat the skin on my neck while I was treating my face with tretinoin and then as the years went on I started to slowly migrate that tretinoin down to my neck and now I'm at 3 to four nights per week using this directly onto the neck area and like I said I am very pleased with that. On my chest I would like to do the same, but if I can just be consistent with three to four nights per week on my chest this year then I am happy because sometimes my chest can be a little bit sensitive to this as well. I also would like to use it more on the backs of my hands before going to bed. I do like to put a little bit into my hand cream, obviously apply that all over the hands and then go to bed. You don't want to use your tretinoin during the day because tretinoin is actually light sensitive, it's very sensitive to daylight so it actually degrades in sunlight, so to achieve best results it's best to use this at night time."

IS IT OVER FOR TRETINOIN? WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON? SHARING ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS TO USE INSTEAD!
"Tretinoin can be harsh and irritating for a lot of skin types, especially when you're first starting out. It is stronger than a retinol and stronger than a retinaldehyde. I love this product so much, it has really changed my skin. I have been on this for over four years and it is the number one gold standard on the market that is proven to work because there's a lot of studies and science behind it. Tretinoin is great if you have early signs of aging, you're developing fine lines and wrinkles, this can help soften fine lines and wrinkles over time. It can really help improve texture, uneven skin tone, dark spots, post-acne marks, and that dull-looking complexion. If you have acne-prone skin and a lot of acne, dermatologists will usually prescribe tretinoin to treat acne.

THE BEST MOISTURIZERS FOR DRY SKIN | WINTER 2024 - SINCERELY MISS ASH
"This is the thickest out of the three, there's a lot of different oils in here and when you use this and your skin is super dry and tight, this is going to make your skin feel incredible within a couple of minutes. I love those different oils in there, especially when your skin needs that moisture. There's also copper and zinc gluconate which can help with redness, so with a compromised skin barrier with irritation our skin can appear quite rosy, and this will help to calm down rosiness. There's Alpha glucan which can help to soothe the skin, and there are six butter lipid complexes in here to help maintain and keep your skin barrier nice and strong and healthy. I really like this and think that this is a great option for everyday. I love this especially for the nighttime routine, but I have used this a few times in my morning routine and it does sit nicely with sunscreen and makeup. But if you are using a sunscreen that is very rich and thick and glowy on the skin, then you might find that this paired up with that might be a little bit too heavy. From my experience testing this out, it can feel a little heavy if your sunscreen is on the thicker side."

This is a great nighttime one. I like this one more so for winter because of how thick it is. It's a great drugstore option. There are three types of ceramides in here, there's hyaluronic acid, there is a tripeptide, there's dimethicone which is a silicone that gives that slip to the skin. People don't like dimethicone in their skincare products or even in makeup products, but having dimethicone in creams especially can be really moisturizing on the skin and I actually quite like to have dimethicone in my creams. There is also niacinamide in here, which is an antioxidant that is great for many things."

"It's a thick, rich cream that pairs nicely with actives to keep your skin comfortable, moisturized, and to prevent transepidermal water loss. If you are new to tretinoin, a retinol, or some other type of active and you're noticing a lot of dryness, tightness, and your skin just feels angry, then you need to try this. This is a really nice cream to bring your skin back to life and to use with active, but just on its own it's wonderful also. I will sometimes use this if my skin is feeling a little dry and tight, but I use this more in the winter because of how rich and moisturizing it is. This has three essential ceramides to help strengthen and repair the skin barrier and prevent transepidermal water loss. There's hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and two peptides. The peptides are further down in the ingredient list, which are great for signs of aging, but this cream is more for moisture and repairing the skin barrier. Even though this is a night cream, you could use this in your morning, but because it's thicker, your sunscreen or makeup of choice may or may not sit nicely on top of this. You'll have to play around, but I keep this for nighttime because of how thick and rich it is."

"This is my favorite cream from the brand because it does a little bit of everything. It's great for signs of aging, it's hydrating, it's repairing, but also it can help to reduce the look of facial redness. It has ceramides and hyaluronic acid, there's Mondo grassroot extract which helps to balance your skin's microbiome, and there's Japanese Indigo extract which helps to soothe the skin and help to repair a compromised skin barrier. This is very rich and this will give your skin that glow. I do love this for nighttime, even though they say this is an overnight repair cream you can still use this in your morning and I have many times and it does sit nicely underneath sunscreen and makeup. This one is very glowy and I love it in the morning because I just love that finish when it shines through my makeup. I just love that natural glow."

"It's very rich and your skin will have a little bit of that shiny look to it because this is designed to really repair that dry flaky irritated skin. So I like to keep this at night time and sometimes I will just use this with other hydrating serums or I will pair this up with some type of active ingredient that could cause some irritation a few days later. It's exceptional. Yes, it's quite expensive but a little bit goes a long way. It does have this gel type of texture so it spreads nicely and it is quite lightweight but again it is very satisfying to use and it's very rich and it does the job really well. If you're not looking for that rich heavy white cream then you possibly might like this because again it has that gel texture that just keeps your skin so moist and moisturized. I do have a backup already in my linen closet so I will be pulling that out very soon but even if I didn't I would have picked up another one because again this is really nice especially during the winter months."

"The Tower 28 Daily Barrier Recovery Cream is the most lightweight product that I'm going to be sharing in today's video. This actually dries down skin-like, so generally with richer, more moisturizing creams, sometimes they can leave your skin a little shinier because they're more rich and more emollient, but this actually dries down skin-like. So if you do have oily skin, you might really like this, especially in your morning routine, but I like it even when my skin is super dry and it always does the job. This has hyaluronic acid to hydrate, there are ceramides in here to repair and strengthen that skin barrier. It also prevents transepidermal water loss. There's allantoin, which can help to soothe the skin and prevent moisture loss. There's glycerin in here and the list goes on. So it's a great one to use underneath sunscreen, makeup. I've never experienced peeling, and it's also a great one to use with active ingredients like retinol, tretinoin, glycolic acid, whatever you're using. And this can be used every day, twice a day. I like the squeezy tube type of packaging. You are getting 1.86 fluid ounces. It is fragrance-free."
"This is a triple action balm with anti-itching, repairing, and immediate soothing properties. It really helps to relieve itch, dryness, irritation. It really calms your skin if it's a little angry. I love using this on my legs and my arms and my chest because of how moisturizing it is. It does give a little bit of a greasiness to the skin, but it's not super greasy where you couldn't wear this during the day. You will have a little bit of a shine to your skin which I think looks really nice if you have like a sleeveless top on or you're wearing shorts. If your skin is itchy and it's dry, this is amazing. I had a mosquito bite and I tried this because it's anti-itch, and it actually worked. I really love how moisturizing it is and it really gives your skin this nice soft feel. If you have any scaliness on your legs or your arms, this gets rid of that. If you're looking for a really good rich repairing soothing body lotion or body cream or body balm, then you need to look into this."
"This is that gel cream so gel creams are perfect for the summer because they are more lightweight on the skin and they also feel more refreshing on the skin as well but at the same time depending on the formulation they can also be very moisturizing and satisfying to use even for those that are on the drier side so this is great for all skin types. This has hyaluronic acid it also has niacinamide these two ingredients hydrate your skin and the hyaluronic acid plumps the skin. This is very plumping especially when you apply this to skin that is already damp from your previous serums and this also sits nicely underneath sunscreen and of course your makeup. You can use this everyday twice a day so you can pair this up at night with your retinol or tretinoin you can pair this up with your active ingredients copper peptides this is a very friendly cream. This also has shea butter it also has oat kernel extract ceramides panthenol and the list goes on so I do find this to be quite repairing also very soothing on the skin but at the same time nice and moisturizing."
"I do see a difference with my skin when I am consistent with this and I love the pump style packaging with that little button push down. The formulation is truly on point and I do have a backup as well. This is one of my favorite creams and I feel like I always need to have this in my collection. This can be used everyday twice a day but I really love this for my morning routine because I love the complexion that it gives it gives this beautiful glowing finish to the skin and your skin just looks so radiant and healthy whether you wear makeup or not. This actually shines beautifully through your sunscreen as well as your makeup giving your skin this youthful dewy complexion and it's also very satisfying to use when your skin is on the drier side as well so perfect for all skin types. If you are looking for something that has that richer formulation that is moisturizing that gives the skin that glow then you will really love this. There's a lot of ingredients in here to target signs of aging and to plump the skin and this really is plumping. This also contains fragrance so if you don't like fragrance in your skin care then you will definitely want to pass on this. I love the scent of it I don't have a problem with fragrance but it really is a wonderful cream especially in your morning routine but I have used this many times at night time as well. This really is wonderful for twice a day but this 50 mil size will last me a really long time."

BEST SKINCARE PRODUCTS TO USE UNDER MAKEUP | SERUMS, MOISTURIZERS & SUNSCREEN "AS MAKEUP PRIMERS"
"This is outstanding and I've been talking about this for a long time here on my channel. This is great just to have as an everyday moisturizer, but this is also amazing underneath your makeup. This one is very rich and moisturizing, a little bit more heavy than the Embryolesse, but surprisingly when you have this on your skin it feels very lightweight. It doesn't feel like you have this thick layer across your skin whatsoever, but the texture is more thick than the Embryo Lesse. This one has a lot of great ingredients in it like hyaluronic acid, there's vitamin C, there's vitamin E, there's shea butter, there's peptides and honestly the list goes on. So not only is this great to moisturize and prime the skin, but you're getting a lot of benefits with these ingredients to treat signs of aging as well. I also feel like this is a very plumping formulation as well, and this will give your skin that nice glow and radiance as well when you have foundation on top. You can use this at nighttime as well."

"If my face is really dry and tight I love the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream. This one also contains anti-aging ingredients and it is even thicker and richer than the Protini, and this is very satisfying to use when your skin needs that additional moisture. This does contain fragrance so if you're someone that can't deal with fragrance you may not want to look into this, but a little bit goes a long way. It spreads nicely and your skin has this beautiful glow to it. It sits nicely underneath sunscreen and makeup, and I will sometimes use this twice a day during January, February, and March. It is exceptional."
"You can use Aquaphor. I also really like the Aquaphor ointment and the reason why I like this is because this formulation contains vitamin E which is an antioxidant. All you want to do is just put a thin thin layer all over your face or you could just put a thin layer of this in certain areas of your skin that are dry that are more flaky or more irritated. This makes the biggest difference all year round but especially during the winter."
"The Polish Choice Barrier Repair Advanced Moisturizer is really nice for those that are looking for that lightweight formulation that is still extremely moisturizing and repairing to the skin. This formula contains peptides and ceramides to keep that skin barrier nice and repaired. Peptides pair up nicely with retinol, so I do like to still have a moisturizer that contains some anti-aging properties in there just to give my skin that added boost. This is very very moisturizing, and one pump is literally all you need all over your face."

THIS DRY SKIN SKINCARE ROUTINE WILL GIVE YOU THE MOST HYDRATED, MOISTURIZED SKIN EVER!
"Polish Choice Barrier Repair Advanced Moisturizer is their newest launch. This has shea butter and several different types of ceramides in here, which can help prevent transepidermal water loss. So ceramides can help to keep moisture in the skin but it can also help to repair and strengthen your skin barrier at the same time, and shea butter is extremely moisturizing. It spreads really nice and it's also quite lightweight but very, very moisturizing. I feel like you will really love this especially if you are looking for something that keeps your skin comfortable, something that's rich but also lightweight."
"I had a sample of the SkinFix Barrier Restoring Gel Cream. I felt like it did a good job to moisturize the skin, but I really didn't feel like it repaired my skin. When I used this on balanced and normal skin and then when my skin needed some TLC, I didn't feel like I received the relief I was expecting, because this is supposed to be very repairing and I didn't get that from this. The gel is very lightweight, and this wouldn't be something that I would purchase, especially a full size. I just didn't really like it."
"This is one of their newest moisturizers that they came out with early this year. I don't feel like the original Natural Moisturizing Factors + Hyaluronic Acid is moisturizing enough, although that one is great for those that have dry skin. This one is even better if you're looking for that really rich moisturizing cream. This is very satisfying to use when you need it. It has glycol lipids and also contains ceramides which help to strengthen and repair the skin barrier. There's urea, amino acids, and hyaluronic acid as well, so very plumping and very hydrating. This one contains oil whereas the Natural Moisturizing Factors + Hyaluronic Acid is oil-free, so depending on what you're looking for and whether you like that oil ingredient or not will determine which one to go with. Because this has that oil, this really is moisturizing. A little bit goes a long way, it spreads really nicely, and you will get this nice glow to your skin. It doesn't dry down matte, you will have a little bit of that glow."
"I really like it. I love the way that my skin looks and feels with it. A little bit goes a long way especially with this one because it does spread nicely. We do have some peptides in here as well, and yes they are further down in the ingredient list, but we do have a vitamin C derivative in here, there is shea butter, there's caffeine, there's niacinamide as well, so great if you do have that uneven skin tone, and it's wonderful. If you're looking for something new and you're a big fan of Charlotte Tilbury, I would say give this a go. This will be great for fall and winter."
"For the price point, this is pretty expensive at $70.50 Canadian for 50 mls. I don't feel like it's worth $70 because the peptide ingredients are not even at the top of the ingredient list. You can find something else that contains more anti-aging ingredients for the price. Even though it's great and it's moisturizing and will keep your skin nice and plump and moisturized, I don't know how beneficial this will be for long term with continuous use. It is a pretty thick cream that spreads nicely and doesn't have fragrance, but I just don't think it's worth the price."
"The Bioma Moisturizing Gel Cream is a perfect formulation for the summer months but honestly this is great for all year round. It does have that nice moisture to it from that creaminess but then of course that gel just creates more of that lightweight feel so it doesn't feel heavy on the skin whatsoever. It always pairs up nicely with all of my skincare products including my sunscreen and of course my makeup. This one has green tea which is an antioxidant and there is also triceramides which will help to strengthen and repair the skin barrier. The niacinamide in here really is great if you have oily skin so this can help to reduce excessive oil, great if you're acne prone. I really love this. It's a great option if you are looking for something that is lightweight but still moisturizing enough."

It has that nice gel texture so when you're putting it on a little bit goes a long way because it does spread really nice, but it also feels nice and cooling at the same time. Because of how lightweight it is and because it's that gel texture, this really is suited for oily combination skin, but this was designed for all skin types including dry sensitive skin. Even when my skin is feeling tight and has that flakiness to it and feels dry, this still works for me. My skin actually still likes this and my skin still feels nice and comfortable. If you wanted additional moisture you could always put a cream moisturizer on top of this if you really wanted to, and I have tried this a few times and it actually worked out really well."

"I really like this because it's a gel moisturizer that actually works on my skin and I don't like gel moisturizers normally because they feel great at first but then halfway through the day my skin is left feeling tight. It's like all of that moisture that was applied to my skin initially just evaporated. I don't get that with this. This formula actually keeps my skin comfortable and hydrated for the entire day and it works great underneath my sunscreen and my makeup. It is super lightweight, it doesn't leave your skin tacky or sticky, it dries down and there is a little bit of a glow which I think is beautiful and it's not a greasy glow. It just looks like your skin looks really nice and natural and it feels very refreshing when you're applying this all over your skin because of that gel. I am a big fan of this.

"I have talked about this quite a bit in the past. It really is one of my favorite neck creams. The neck area can be a very sensitive area for a lot of people because it's thinner and doesn't have the oil glands like the face, and it's one of the places where we start to see premature aging. I do like a good neck cream formulated for that delicate skin with active ingredients to really help with crepiness and helping to firm the skin and stimulate collagen. This is actually a really nice one because there's peptides in here, there's also ceramides, shea butter, almond oil.

"This neck cream is fabulous, especially if you're someone that can't use your face products on your neck because of irritation. This is a really nice one to use because it's very gentle. It's moisturizing. There's a lot of peptides in the formulation to firm and stimulate collagen, but there's also a few ceramides. There's shea butter, vitamin E, and the list goes on. If you're using some type of peptide serum right now or growth factor serum and you're using it on your neck, then use this on top as the moisturizer to lock in moisture from those serums, but we're also getting benefits of this neck cream as well to improve the skin on the neck."

This has a few different types of ceramides to strengthen that barrier to prevent transepidermal water loss. I do believe there are four peptides in here, there's also vitamin E and shea butter and the list goes on. I love this because of how moisturizing it is, it has a nice little pump. I do like to use this in my morning as well as the evening. You can use this everyday twice a day. It's a very friendly product that can be used with a lot of other types of ingredients. If you are looking for a good neck cream I really do love this one."
6 ANTI-AGING PRODUCTS FROM DRMTLGY THAT I CAN'T STOP USING | THESE REALLY DO WORK FOR SIGNS OF AGING
"It's nice to use something to help soften those lines and I feel like every time I use this and the more consistent I've been with it, it just helps to blur out those lines a little bit and it just keeps the skin nice and moisturized. The skin never looks creepy when I use this. Finding a product that works for your neck area is really important, and this one in my opinion is very gentle and it's also really effective. There's no fragrance. I use this pretty much every day, twice a day, so this always layers up nicely with any skincare product that I have used with it, and sunscreen also sits nicely on top of this as well. The neck cream is designed for the neck and décolletage and chest area. This is perfect for all skin types, but if you have dry skin I think you're going to really enjoy this."
"I've been using this for years and I've talked a lot about this product here on my channel. It's one of my favorites. It's not as rich and as thick as the Neostata, so this one is more lightweight. It dries down more skin-like, and it's also great for all skin types. There's no fragrance whatsoever. It's more of an everyday basic neck cream. It actually does perform, but it's just not as advanced as some of the other products that I mentioned and that are available out on the market. It's a nice one just for everyday. It's really nice and moisturizing and plumping. There are several ceramides in here. There's a few peptides. There's sweet almond oil. There's shea butter."

All 8 takes on Advanced Neck Cream
IF I COULD ONLY PICK 1 PRODUCT FROM MY FAVORITE SKINCARE BRANDS | FYI...THIS WAS REALLY HARD!
"The advanced neck cream keeps my neck super soft and really helps to keep it well moisturized. My neck is very sensitive to a lot of active ingredients, so I'm using products that contain peptides because peptides really help to address signs of aging, they soften fine lines, they firm the skin, and they can also help to build new collagen as well. This one has ceramides in it, so it's going to strengthen and repair the skin, but also we have four peptides in here as well. I always love the way that my neck looks every time I use this. It keeps it well moisturized and it just looks more youthful. It's very lightweight and I use this twice a day sometimes or just once a day. I love it."
AGING BACKWARDS OVER 30 | BEST ANTI-AGING SKINCARE PRODUCTS OF 2023 | THESE ACTUALLY WORK!
"The Dermatology Advanced Neck Cream is a really nice one for the neck and chest area to address fine lines, to keep everything nice and comfortable and moisturized, but also to keep that skin barrier nice and repaired as well. The neck area is a very sensitive area for a lot of people, myself included, and I honestly need to be so careful about what I put on my neck, especially when it comes to active ingredients. With peptides, I just feel like it's an ingredient that is quite gentle. I've never had an issue with peptides in terms of irritation or dryness, but I feel like it's the next best ingredient to address fine lines and wrinkles and to firm the skin if you can't use vitamin C and if you can't use tretinoin or retinol. Then peptides really are the next best thing. This really is a lovely neck cream. It has shea butter, there are also some ceramides in here, and there are peptides as well."

"This is extremely moisturizing and repairing and it really does work to soften those fine lines that we can get on our neck area. This one doesn't have a retinol in it but it does have multiple peptides which help to soften fine lines, help produce new collagen and to firm the skin. There's also ceramides in here to really help keep that skin barrier nice and strong, and ceramides also help to prevent transepidermal water loss, which is really important when it comes to the neck area because we have less oil glands so we really want to keep that moisture in the skin, especially in this region. It also has sweet almond oil as well so it's very moisturizing. I actually use this every day twice a day."

"I finished the Dermatology Advanced Neck Cream. I have talked about this many times in the past, it's one of my favorite neck creams to use. This has a lot of different types of ceramides to strengthen repair that delicate skin on the neck. There's peptides in here to firm the skin and help to soften fine lines and wrinkles and the list goes on. If you're someone that is prone to sensitivities and your neck is very sensitive to a lot of skincare products then it's nice to use something that is dedicated for the neck. If you love Dermatology and you are looking for a neck cream this one is lovely. I do love this one, very moisturizing, and this is something that I do like to use twice a day. I am going to consider this again for sure."

So sometimes in the morning if I'm using a peptide serum I will use this on my neck and then of course I do like to use this at night time as well. I'm really really loving this. It's very moisturizing by the way and it layers up nicely as well with sunscreen just so you know so my sunscreen always sits nicely on top of this it never pills and your skin just feels so comfortable all day long."

This just ensures that my skin has that extra layer on there for moisture and I feel like when I put moisturizers on top of tretinoin this really does help to cut back on some of that dryness that can happen a few days later. I just really really love this moisturizer. I used to use this a lot back several years ago and I'm back using it again because it really is one of my favorites."

It does give your skin that dewy complexion which I really like, great for the winter months. This also sits really nice underneath sunscreen and makeup from my experience with this. This is my favorite moisturizer out of the three that they have. A little bit goes a long way, you don't need much."

THE BEST MOISTURIZERS FOR DRY SKIN | WINTER 2023
"This is very moisturizing and it's very rich and thick, perfect for everyday twice a day. I mainly use this at night time just because it is quite rich. If you're someone that used to use The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors plus Hyaluronic Acid and you felt like that formulation just wasn't moisturizing enough, then you'll want this one because this one has that oil ingredient that really helps to nourish the skin even more. If you don't like oil in your moisturizers then you probably won't like this, but out of the three moisturizers that The Ordinary has, this is the most moisturizing and it's fabulous. It has those ceramides in there and it really keeps your skin comfortable and it will leave your skin with that dewy complexion as well."
THIS DRY SKIN SKINCARE ROUTINE WILL GIVE YOU THE MOST HYDRATED, MOISTURIZED SKIN EVER!
"This is their newest moisturizer and this is very rich, very moisturizing. It's satisfying to use especially when your skin is super dry and flaky and tight. There is oil in the formulation so again it's very moisturizing. I like this way better than the original Natural Moisturizing Factors plus Hyaluronic Acid. My skin never felt content with the original formulation. If you want something that is really moisturizing, I would say go with the Phytoceramides."
THE ORDINARY'S 6 NEW PRODUCTS EXPLAINED | HOW & WHEN TO USE EACH PRODUCT FOR MAXIMUM RESULTS!
"This is thicker, it's richer, and it's more moisturizing. If you were using the original Natural Moisturizing Factors plus hyaluronic acid and you thought that formula wasn't moisturizing enough, then try this one because this really is more satisfying to use when your skin needs that additional moisture. This one has two times more humectants with hyaluronic acid and amino acids in here, so it's very hydrating and very plumping. But this one also has four times more moisturizing emollients with fatty acids and glycolipids, and it really is a beautiful, rich formulation. I like to use this at nighttime because when I'm using tretinoin and active ingredients, this keeps my skin comfortable when these products could create additional dryness and irritation. This really helps to repair and strengthen the skin barrier with the ceramides. You could use this in your morning routine as well if you really wanted to, but because of the sunscreens I use and because I wear makeup, I just found that this was a little too rich and heavy underneath my sunscreen and makeup, so I much prefer to use this at night time. You don't need a lot of this, a pea-sized amount, maybe a little bit more, will cover your face."
THE BEST ORDINARY PRODUCTS FOR DRY/DEHYDRATED SKIN | GET PLUMP, HYDRATED & MOISTURIZED SKIN FAST!
"If you're looking for that really rich moisturizing cream, go with this one. This is very satisfying to use when you need it. This one has your glycol lipids as well, but it also contains ceramides which help to strengthen and repair the skin barrier. There's urea, there's amino acids in here, there's hyaluronic acid as well, so very plumping and very hydrating. This one contains oil, so because this has that oil, I'm telling you this really is moisturizing. A little bit goes a long way, it spreads really nicely, you will get this nice glow to your skin. It doesn't dry down skin-like or dry down matte, you will have a little bit of that glow. I much prefer to keep this for nighttime."
"I really like the Zip Beauty Crystal Gel. This will actually help to brighten the skin. You don't have to rinse your face after you have done your Zip Halo treatment. You can actually leave this on your skin and then go and apply all of your other skin care on top if you really wanted to, or of course you can rinse this off and then go in with your skin care. It's totally up to you. Sometimes I will leave these on my skin and then sometimes I will rinse them off. It just depends on how I feel and what I am using that day in terms of beauty products."
"This is the silver gel which helps with additional hydration so if you have dry skin this one is wonderful. You don't have to rinse your face after you have done your Zip Halo treatment, you can actually leave this on your skin and then go and apply all of your other skin care on top if you really wanted to, or of course you can rinse this off and then go in with your skin care. It's totally up to you. I really love this gel specifically."
"I went with the Neutrogena Niacinamide Cleansing Jelly 3% as this has been my go-to cleanser for quite a while now. Actually, I can't even recall how many of these I have purchased. I feel like this could be my fourth one. It could even be my fifth and I'm actually almost done this one. It really is lovely, super gentle, fragrance-free. It does the job well, it doesn't strip my skin, and it lathers really nicely."
"This is the Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm. If you love a good cleansing balm to remove your makeup and sunscreen at the end of the day, dirt and grime, this is an amazing one to try. It's really gentle. There are different fragranced options depending on what you want to use. This is the original one, but they do have a Naked one which is fragrance-free. This does have a mild, fresh, citrusy scent to it, so if you can't do fragrance, there is a fragrance-free option, and the formula is the exact same except there's just no fragrance. This is a true balm that actually helps to soften and nourish the skin while you're using it. If you're someone that wears water-resistant sunscreens, especially in the summer, waterproof mascara, or stubborn lip stains and lipsticks, this removes everything. When I put this all over, I let it sit for a couple of minutes just to let it marinate and basically melt off everything. And when you go and rinse your face, your skin is super clean. It doesn't feel stripped, it actually feels really nourished. I always go in with a second cleanse afterwards just to make sure my skin is really clean before I start my nighttime routine, but this is really lovely."
"I really love the Elmus Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm. I use this a lot, especially if I have a lot of makeup on or I'm using really thick, waterresistant sunscreens that are a little bit more difficult to remove at the end of the day. That's when I will opt for a cleansing balm or even a cleansing oil. But I've actually been using this the most and I really love this. So, if you're looking for a good cleansing balm, this one is really good."
"For night time because of that lather this does a really good job to remove makeup and sunscreen. Sometimes after that first cleanse we still have a residue left over from a cleansing balm or a cleansing oil, and this will ensure that your skin is completely clean and prepped for all of your other skincare products."
"I like this because it's best of both worlds. It's very gentle and moisturizing on the skin, but at the same time you're getting that nice lather and foam that cleanses the skin really nicely. It has the ceramides in here, it also has hyaluronic acid and squalene oil, and this did a really good job to cleanse the skin. I used this as the second cleanse in my nighttime routine and then occasionally in my morning routine. If you love CeraVe and you like something that is hydrating, gentle, nourishing on the skin but also lathers up without stripping the skin barrier, then this is a really nice one to look into."

I have combination skin and from my experience with this, this does not leave any type of residue left behind. It doesn't make your skin feel tight after you have rinsed it off. It really is a wonderful formulation that keeps your skin comfortable. There are three ceramides in here, there's hyaluronic acid and squalene. The squalene ingredient is the one that's going to keep that skin nice and comfortable. When you're using this it honestly just feels like a gel cleanser that just emulsifies into this really nice foamy lather, but when you rinse your face your face isn't stripped and tight.

It does a really good job to loosen everything up and give a nice clean canvas. If you love cleansing oils and you want to try something different, this one from Hada Labo is quite nice. You get a nice little pump and you don't need much. It does spread really nicely and then of course you can emulsify it afterwards and you could use this in your morning routine as well. I really do like this brand and I love the cleansing oil."
"This one is not stripping in the least. This is honestly great for all skin types, even oily, even combination, but if you have dry sensitive skin you are going to absolutely love this. I guarantee it. This contains 1% colloidal oatmeal, which is very calming and soothing, great for sensitive skin, great for those experiencing a compromised skin barrier. This also prevents transepidermal water loss. It's very nourishing and moisturizing, but also if you're experiencing facial redness this can help to reduce the look of rosiness. This also contains marula oil which has antioxidant properties, so this is also rich in omegas. It also gives a nice glow to the skin as well, which I have found. The other key ingredient is elipe butter, which is a rich plant-based butter that is also rich in fatty acids. This does an amazing job to remove your makeup and sunscreen at the end of the day as that first cleanse. It removes mascara really nicely, water resistant sunscreens, foundations."

"When you add a little bit of water, it does emulsify into this low foam so when you rinse your face off your skin is not in any discomfort and your skin just has this nice moisture barrier, which I think is really important. After I have cleansed my skin and towel dried my face, my skin does have a little bit of a glow to it. After several uses, my skin has this nice little glow, probably from the oils in here. It just keeps your skin so nourished and moisturized where it's just giving that nice healthy glow to the skin. If you do enjoy the Drunk Elephant brand, you do like colloidal oatmeal, the marula oil, then this would be well worth it, and I've quite enjoyed my experience with this so far. Even if you have oily skin, yes you can still use this."
"It's truly great for all skin types even though it's marketed as normal to dry skin. I have combination skin and I am acne prone and I absolutely love this. It never breaks me out, it keeps my skin nice and comfortable, nice and moisturized. It's super gentle, it doesn't burn my eyes, and it's just one of those everyday cleansers that I feel like should be in everyone's arsenal. I wouldn't say this is the best cleanser to use to remove your makeup and sunscreen as that first cleanse in your nighttime routine. It doesn't exactly remove makeup too well, so I really love using cleansing balms first to loosen everything up and then I always go in with a second cleanse with a cleanser like this just to ensure that my skin is super clean. And then in my morning I will go in with a little bit of this as well just to cleanse my skin and it always does a good job. It never ever disappoints."
"This does not strip your skin barrier. It keeps your skin comfortable and balanced, so you can use it in the morning and night or to remove makeup and sunscreen at the end of the day as a first cleanse. It's going to keep your skin comfortable and hydrated, remove any impurities and dirt and oil, and it does a really good job. It has that lather if you like more of that, it's fragrance-free, and you're getting 170 mls of product, so a great amount for the price point. I think this is going to be especially great for fall and winter."
"This is another great option to remove your makeup and sunscreen at the end of the day as that first cleanse, perfect for all skin types. It's also very gentle and it doesn't leave a film on the skin, but it does contain fragrance so if you don't like fragrance in your skincare and you have sensitive skin please keep that in mind. This one has a really nice buttery texture that feels really nice when you apply it to your skin and it's also quite moisturizing as well. It contains olive fruit, sea buckthorn, and grape seed oil in here, so great ingredients to nourish the skin and great ingredients to remove that makeup and sunscreen."
"It contains oats so this is very calming and soothing to the skin. It's great for all skin types including those that have sensitive skin and it also is quite moisturizing. I use this to remove makeup and sunscreen and then as a face mask. If you are looking for something that is really gentle, calming, and soothing then I definitely recommend this, plus you're getting 150 mls of product."
"If you wish to use a cleanser in your morning routine I really do recommend the Coco Kind Oil to Milk Cleanser. This is a prebiotic oat cleanser that is super gentle and very moisturizing on the skin. This will never strip your skin but this will also not leave this heavy film on the skin once you've rinsed it off. This really is lovely especially if you do have more of that sensitive skin type but it doesn't matter whether you have sensitive skin or not, this is still fabulous. I have combination skin and I am acne prone and I love this. When you first start using it it will be like a little oily but once you add some water it does turn into this really beautiful milky cleanser and it cleanses the skin really nicely. All you need is the littlest amount especially in your morning routine. I think this is one of the best, especially from the drugstore. Coco Kind is one of my favorite drugstore brands. The brand feels very luxurious to me and it also feels very high-end."

"This is way better than the squealing cleanser and I like this one a lot more because it's very gentle, it's very moisturizing on the skin, it's not stripping in the least. But this one also doesn't leave a film left behind after you've rinsed your skin, and that's why I much prefer this over the squealing cleanser because the squealing cleanser always left a film and I didn't always feel like my skin felt clean after I've rinsed it off. This one will remove your makeup and sunscreen at the end of the day as well, so if you want to use this as that first cleanse to remove your makeup and sunscreen and then go back in with your second cleanse afterwards, or even in your morning routine, feel free to use this every day twice a day. This contains plant derived glycol lipid, so again very gentle. This is another cleanser that never burns my eyes. There's a lot of cleansers that when they get into the eyes they start burning. I never get that with this, so if you are more on that sensitive side, I feel like you're going to absolutely love this."
"This is a yearly favorite and I have loved this for so many years. This was actually the first product that I started using when I was starting to get into skincare and makeup to remove my makeup at night time or my sunscreen. It is excellent because it is really quick to use. Honestly, you don't have to rinse this off after you've used it. I like to use this for those quick removals of lip stains or lipsticks, or if I have a specific makeup look going on but I want to switch out the lip look for evening. I will use this on a cotton pad or a Q-tip and wipe off that lip product and then go right in with a new lip, and you don't have to rinse this off. If I'm creating that winged out look and need to clean up the edges, I will put this on a cotton pad or Q-tip to clean up that area and make that winged out look more defined."
"This is amazing for removing your makeup, removing your sunscreen, and just cleansing your skin on an everyday basis. If you're looking for something that is extremely gentle, very moisturizing on the skin, but also something that is fragrance free, then this would be a great option. You are getting 400 mL of product, and all you need is basically one pump to cleanse your skin in the morning, one pump to remove your makeup and sunscreen. This is going to last you a really long time. It is super gentle and it doesn't burn my eyes when I'm trying to remove my mascara and my eye makeup. I've really been enjoying this."
"The Inky List Oat Cleansing Balm is perfect for all skin types including oily skin. It's a great cleanser to calm irritated sensitive skin, and it's also great if you have dry skin. It's a perfect everyday cleanser that performs really well. It doesn't strip the skin and it doesn't make your skin feel tight. It keeps your skin feeling comfortable. A little amount goes a long way, and when you emulsify it with water you really do get a nice cleanse. You can also use this cleanser as a mask. If you need some hydration, have a little bit of irritation, and your skin is rosy, you can put a decent amount all over your face, leave it on for as long as you like, sometimes an hour or a half hour, then rinse your skin and your face will feel amazing."

5 MUST HAVE SKINCARE PRODUCTS TO CALM TRETINOIN IRRITATION/ RETINOL BURN FAST!
"This is a bomb, it's thick but it's also very moisturizing on the skin. It's super gentle, there's no fragrance, but also it really helps to repair the skin barrier with the oat ingredient. Oats is a humectant, so this is going to moisturize and nourish the skin but it can also help to calm and soothe irritated skin as well. You can use this as your everyday cleanser both morning and evening. This works really well as a makeup and sunscreen remover and also great as that second cleanse as well. This is one cleanser that you can use as a mask, so put a thick layer all over your face, all over your neck, wherever you're experiencing irritation and just leave it on for as long as you want, half an hour, an hour, a couple of hours, and let this penetrate the skin. Let this really calm your irritated skin. That oat ingredient, I'm telling you right now, three percent of it in here will really help to calm that irritation. When my skin is really rosy sometimes I will use this and I do feel like when I rinse it off after an hour or so my skin doesn't look as rosy. So this really is wonderful when you're experiencing irritation but also you can use this every day, twice a day, even if your skin is normal."

"The Versed Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm works pretty much the same as the pharmacy option, but it does have fragrance, and sometimes when I've rinsed my face off I do feel like my skin has a little bit of a residue left over from the cleansing balm itself. That's why I said to go in with that second cleanse to remove any residue that is left over from your cleansing balm. I like the pharmacy one a little bit more than the Versed, but if you want something that is more affordable and something that you can easily get at the drugstore, then the Versed is a really great option to look into."

It is super gentle, it has that nice creaminess, and it's non-stripping. It's also fragrance-free. I especially love this cleanser for the fall and winter months because of how gentle and moisturizing it is. You can also use this to remove your makeup and sunscreen at the end of the day as that first cleanse and then go in again with a second cleanse just to ensure your skin is really clean. This is really nice cleanser especially if you have dry skin, you have sensitive skin, if you're oily or your combination skin like myself. This is still a great cleanser to use.

"The Glycolipid Cream Cleanser is another formula that is perfect for all skin types. I have combination skin, sometimes my skin can be oily, but even when I'm using a creamy cleanser, something that is richer and more moisturizing, my skin doesn't feel greasy. I don't have a film left over once I've rinsed this off, and it keeps my skin barrier nice and comfortable, well moisturized. This is something that I like to use in my morning routine, but I also really enjoy using this at night time as well. It's a cleanser that you can use every day, twice a day, and it really is super gentle. If you're someone that has dry skin or you're using a lot of active ingredients like retinol, or maybe you're using a glycolic or lactic acid, something that can be a little bit drying on the skin, using a creamy cleanser can really help to keep that skin barrier comfortable. I use tretinoin a lot and sometimes I use lactic acid, so I do like to use that richer formulation because it just feels so nice when your skin is dry and flaky. This really is great if you're looking for that richer formula, and it also does a fabulous job removing makeup and eyeliner, mascara, and lip stains as a first cleanse."

It has that gel texture because I find that these cleanse my skin a lot better when my skin is at its oiliest and when I'm using sunscreens that are thicker like water resistant sunscreens. This is a very gentle formula that is quite moisturizing, it doesn't strip my skin whatsoever, and it never feels tight. My skin just feels like my skin and that's what I like in a cleanser. There are many foaming cleansers out there that completely strip your skin and I'm not for that. I like formulas like this that just keep your skin feeling comfortable all the time. When my skin is normal and when it's oily I just love these types of formulas, especially during the summer months. This is unscented and you can use this up to twice a day if you really wanted to, and this has a pH of 5.5."

"The Ordinary Glucoside Foaming Cleanser is one of their newest cleansers I really like it because if you are someone that does have combination oily skin this is going to be one of your favorites as this is your true gel foaming cleanser but with that being said this was designed for all skin types. I started using this basically this time last year and I used it all during the winter months because typically because I live in Canada I don't usually use foaming cleansers in the winter because sometimes a lot of these formulations can be stripping and my skin can be quite dry and irritated during the winter because you know the furnace is on it's drier outside and so I used this all winter long not once did my skin ever feel dry and uncomfortable. This actually kept my skin balanced and that was really impressive because again with foaming cleansers it can be a hit and miss so if you have dry skin I think you're still going to love this. I really like this for the morning just for that light cleanse just to make sure that my skin is cleansed for my morning skincare."

I've experienced a lot of breakage and heat damage in the past and I just feel more confident using this prior to my heat styling tools, whether that's blow drying my hair, curling my hair, straightening my hair, whatever. This has a patented technology with Brazilore and this helps to protect the cortex and the cuticle of the hair, so the inside and out.

It will bring it back to that normal state. It's very repairing. It keeps that skin nice and strong and healthy. It's also very hydrating as well. And if you have a lot of redness, it will subside on that rosiness as well. If you're starting tretinoin for the first time or retinol, glycolic acid, something like that that tends to dry out and irritate the skin, start using this alongside those actives to keep the skin as nourished as possible, keeping it hydrated and strong. This will help to prevent further dryness and irritation when you're using those actives. It has like this really nice comforting thick milky consistency that spreads across the skin so nicely. You can use this on your neck and your chest if you need to. And it always sits great with other skincare products and even your makeup.

And it has been so hot and humid here in Ontario, like some days feel like 35 or hotter. My skin doesn't love the additional moisture because I just break out. So I put that serum aside for now just because I just don't need that moisture right now. The serum really gives that glow and dewiness to the skin. And if your skin is already oily and you're in the summer and it's muggy out, your skin just looks so sweaty looking and I just don't like that. So that's why I put the serum aside."
"This has a very thin, watery, milky consistency that is best applied after cleansing, but before your serums, and then of course your moisturizer, sunscreen. The reason why I really like this is because it contains four weights of hyaluronic acids, which is going to hydrate and plump the skin. There's also microalgae and prickly pear in here which actually helps to nourish the skin. And there's also a lot of fatty acids and lipids in here to keep your skin barrier nice and strong. I really like this especially if my skin is feeling a little tight, more on the drier side, or maybe I'm using a lot of active ingredients that are actually irritating my skin. But I also really like this for my morning routine because it does give that little dewiness to the skin. It doesn't look super shiny and greasy, but it does give that healthy little glow. I've never experienced peeling with this with any of my skincare products or sunscreens or makeup. It's actually a perfect makeup base as well. You don't have to go out and purchase a makeup primer. This is a perfect makeup primer, but it's also a skin care product, so you're getting best of both worlds. I just really love how lightweight this is and it's not heavy or greasy."

THE BEST SKINCARE TIPS 2024 | DO'S & DON'TS FOR BETTER SKIN! SINCERELY MISS ASH
"For skin flooding this is the new Ilia Base Face Milk. I'm not ready to review this yet but so far I'm really enjoying it and this provides a lot of hydration. This is beautiful."
BEAUTY PRODUCT'S I'VE USED UP || SKINCARE, MAKEUP AND HAIRCARE - BEAUTY EMPTIES 2024
"I have the Ilia base face milk which is like a milky essence, a milky toner but they call this a lightweight moisturizer. I do like to use this two different ways but I mainly use this after a facial mist but before my serums, a moisturizer and a sunscreen. This is very very hydrating, very moisturizing on the skin. It's calming, it's soothing and it's exceptional for all skin types. This is going to be great for the winter months. I've already bought another one so yes I will be continuing with this because it's that good. It's fragrance-free and it's just wonderful. I put this into the palm of my hand and then I place it all over my face, my neck and my chest. The other way that you can use this is as that lightweight moisturizer, which is what they say this is. So if you love that glowy dewy complexion and you like how that shines through your foundation and your makeup then I would recommend to use this just before you apply your foundation so skip a moisturizer and use this instead and this is going to create the most beautiful glowy dewy complexion ever."
"I've never had an issue with peeling when it comes to this even though it has this milky type of texture that has an orange hue to it. The orange hue is coming from the tomato extract. You can pair this up with other types of vitamin C serums other types of antioxidant products, or you can just use this on its own. And this on its own is really beneficial and it actually does perform like it should. You get this brighter complexion and again it protects your skin from everyday pollution. You can use this every day twice a day or just once a day. If you can't use vitamin C serums like you can't even use a derivative then I would say try this. This is a great alternative to vitamin C and it's just as effective."
"It does give that nice cooling sensation but I just don't feel like this is something that I would rely on for anti-aging for calming down my skin. I'd rather use something else like a serum or a moisturizer to get the results that I'm looking for."
"If you're looking for a 10% option that is strictly just Argireline, I would say look into this and it's also really affordable. You're getting 30 ml of product and there is a 12-month shelf life with this. A lot of people swear by this and truly this does work. There was a time where I was really consistent with this and it really did help to soften some of the lines around my eyes, so crow's feet. You can use this underneath the eyes if your skin allows you to. The skin underneath and around the eyes is so thin and delicate so we should always be cautious, but when I was testing this I was mainly using this as an under-eye serum and it worked really well. There was a thing going around that Argireline can cause sagging of the skin. I have personally never experienced this. There was a time where I was really consistent with this serum so I personally never saw that. I can tell you right now I never experienced such a thing."

PRODUCT'S I'VE USED UP | WOULD I REPURCHASE? BEAUTY EMPTIES 2023
"I have been using this quite a bit on and off for several years and I do think this is lovely. It's very thin and lightweight, it absorbs into your skin so nicely, but I do feel like you need to be very, very consistent with this before you see results. This is great even as a spot treatment, so if you just want to use this as that eye serum or to treat your forehead lines, your levens, nasolabial folds, or just put it all over your face and your neck and chest, you can also do that. And again, I do like it, but the copper peptide serum or the multi-peptide plus hyaluronic acid serum contain multiple peptides and work quicker because there's more than one type of peptide in that formula."

ANTI-AGING SKINCARE ROUTINES ON A $60 BUDGET | MORNING & NIGHTTIME | AFFORDABLE AND EFFECTIVE!
"I really love Argireline. A lot of people say this is Botox in a bottle. It really helps to soften fine lines, so if you have forehead lines, your lemon lines, crow's feet, nasolabial folds, this is honestly great to apply all over your face, all over your neck, and all over your chest. It has that watery texture so you never have to worry about pilling. This layers up with everything so nicely without issues, and also it is very lightweight and spreads nicely. I love the formula, this is really effective as well. This really is the peptide that I highly recommend, especially if you're on a budget."
"Blistex and so on contain fragrance and Menthol and ingredients that actually dry out our lips more so we're addicted to that lip product because we keep reapplying thinking that it's going to heal our lips but at the end of the day it never does it just makes our lips worse and worse. I remember being in high school using Blistex and I couldn't understand why my lips were not healing and I was just so obsessed with using the Blistex because I just wanted my lips to heal more and then I soon realized I thought this is the product that is actually causing the issue."
"It really keeps you on your back for the entire night and it's very comfortable. This was also designed by orthopedics as well, and I just love the sleep that I get because it keeps my spine in place and keeps it nice and straight, having that proper posture while I'm sleeping. So when I wake up in the morning I don't have a lower back issue, which I tend to have. I love the Ola Pillow, love that it really trains you to sleep on your back."
"You can put this on a burn or a scrape for better healing. Vitamin E is in a lot of skincare products nowadays, so I thought let's give this a go and see what it does, and honestly this performs just the same as Aquaphor but it really does have that extra kick to it to really keep everything nice and comfortable. If you have dry irritated lips then put this on your lips. I've been putting this on my lips every night. I will put a little bit around the crows feet area just to prevent transepidermal water loss. At night time after I've put all of my skincare products on including my eye cream I will put a little bit of this just around that eye area just to lock in moisture. If I have any dry patches on my skin like my chin or my skin is just feeling really uncomfortable then I will put a thin layer of this all over my face on top of my moisturizer as that slugging effect, and this does an excellent job. Of course you can put this on your hands, your feet, anywhere on the body. It's basically used the same as Aquaphor but it has that additional vitamin E ingredient, and I love this. This is now a staple in my routine from this day going forward."
"You can bring this to the beach and freshen up your skin because sometimes if you're outside for a long period of time in the summer and you're wearing sunscreen daily and you keep reapplying it, it can make your skin feel really tight. This just gives that nice refreshment and that moisture to the skin. Great to use on top of your makeup and sunscreen throughout the day. This is one of my favorites for sure."
"I just lightly pat that into my skin. It's full of antioxidants so great for signs of aging, great to protect your skin from pollution, and this is also a product that can help to reduce redness as well. I use this every day twice a day."
"I most definitely want to recommend Neod modulating glucosides. This is something that I've talked a lot about and this had to be in this video because this is a lifesaver, it's a gamechanging product that works almost immediately. So if you're someone that's dealing with a lot of irritation, sensitivities, you have that burning, itchy feel to your skin, it's really red and inflamed, and of course it's dry and irritated, I'm telling you try this. This has that milky consistency that just feels so comforting when you put it on your skin, and I would say within 10 or 15 minutes or so your skin already feels better, that itch and that burning sensation has subsided, and it really helps to limit down on some of that rosiness that we can experience. This has a lot of repairing ingredients but also it is extremely hydrating as well. I have used this in my morning routine many times so it does work great with sunscreen and makeup, but I do like to use this more so at night time."
"I picked up the copper Amino isolate lipid which is pretty much the exact same as this but this one is in that bomb type of texture. I'm really curious to see how this is going to work because it's been a while since I've used this and I can't remember how I liked it. I can't remember if it pilled how it layered out with my skin care so I will keep you updated on this in time."

"The Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré acts as that perfect makeup primer, your makeup just applies so nicely on top of this, but this also gives your skin that nice radiance and that glow and it moisturizes like a dream. You can use this as a makeup primer, as a moisturizer, or even as a mask. This really is perfect as that leave-on product. This is a wonderful product if you have dry skin, but if you have oily or combination skin you are still going to love this. It does have fragrance, just so you know."
"I have an empty NEON Modulating Glucosides. I finally finished this serum, this actually lasted me a really long time. I only use this when I need to because this serum is great to repair the skin barrier. Sometimes my skin will be a little angry and it will be inflamed, it will be really red, maybe I have that burning itchy sensation to my skin, maybe it's really dry and tight. Whenever my skin barrier feels this way I start using the modulating glucosides. This is very underrated by the way, but honestly this is one of the only serums that I have ever used that works almost immediately. So within 20 minutes or so, once I've applied this to my skin, not long after my skin feels nice and comfortable again. It provides a lot of comfort and a lot of hydration to the skin."
"For night time this is great but I don't use it all the time, I only use it when I feel like it so I'm going to give this an 8 out of 10. I feel like that's a really good rating. I would give it a 10 out of 10 if it had a different texture to it, something that I could use more so in my morning, because I'm only able to use it at night. It does have that silicone feel and sometimes it just doesn't pair up nicely with other products, so again it's trial and error you'll just have to figure out whether or not it would be something for you."
"This is a pillow that has this nice unique 3D design with cutouts on either end. When you're sleeping on this, especially if you are a side sleeper like myself, there is no way for this pillow to cause creasing and fine lines and wrinkles.

There is absolutely no way for your face to be touching the pillow. So crows feet is not going to be a thing. Creasing, nothing is going to be smooshed while you're sleeping.

"This pillow is designed by Orthopedix and I really love the design with the cutout sides, so this is perfect for side sleepers. I am definitely a side sleeper but I do sleep on my back quite a bit as well, and even if you're a back sleeper this pillow will still be really comfortable because there is a little bit of a dip here that really helps to cradle your neck while you're sleeping. This pillow is going to prevent premature fine lines and wrinkles because when you're sleeping on this, it has that nice cutout design where it's going to allow you to be creaseless for the entire night. Think about how long we sleep for in the night, some of us sleep for 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours a night or more, and that is a long period of time to be sleeping on a regular pillow and having our face squish the entire time. This is going to allow you to have a good night's sleep without creating fine lines and wrinkles. My entire side of my face here is exposed and there's no way for these fine lines and wrinkles to develop. When you're sleeping on this, you want to make sure that the smaller boulder is at your neck and the larger boulder is at the head. If you were to do it the other way around it may not be as comfortable. Prior to sleeping on this I was developing fine lines like you wouldn't believe. I'd wake up with crease marks all over my face and sometimes it would take an entire day for those crease marks to go away."
BEAUTY PRODUCTS THAT ARE REALLY IMPRESSIVE | 100% RESULTS!
"I've been impressed with this pillow since the very first time I ever slept on it and I have been recommending this pillow on and off for a couple of years and I have been sleeping on this pillow for a couple of years as well, it's my go-to. I can't imagine sleeping on anything else. This pillow is designed for side sleepers but even if you're a back sleeper I do find that this pillow is quite comfortable. When you're a side sleeper and you're sleeping on a regular pillow you can wake up with crease marks on your face. With this pillow, you're not going to get that because this pillow is designed with cutouts on either end so when you're sleeping on this the side of your face isn't even touching the pillow. This is going to prevent premature fine lines and wrinkles and also prevent puffiness. This pillow gives you proper posture while you're sleeping at night so you don't wake up with a sore back. It cradles your neck perfectly and it really does give you a good night's sleep."

If you're looking for a better sleep, better posture, something to really help prevent further fine lines and wrinkles, then you have to get one of these. Even if you're a back sleeper, this is still really comfortable to sleep on your back. It does have a little dip where it cradles your neck, and it's super comfortable.

"This serum is designed for those that are blemish prone that have post acne marks, so those red pinky dark areas that are left behind once the blemish has healed. But even if you don't have post-acne marks and you have uneven skin tone where you have a few dark spots and you also have some texture, this serum is still going to be beneficial for you. I'm telling you this serum works. You can use this as an all over or you can just spot treat your problem areas. It's a very gentle hydrating serum. It does have that 2% aloe, so perfect for all skin types including dry skin, but this also has that 2% NAG, and NAG stands for N-acetyl glucosamine, and this is the ingredient that will help to correct that uneven skin tone but also help with texture as well. Using this serum by itself and being consistent with it, you will see results because this really is a serum that works well and they did an excellent job formulating this one. It's not sticky, it's not tacky, it absorbs nicely, and it also sits great with other skincare products including sunscreen and makeup."

"This was designed as a serum suited for those that have discoloration and post-acne marks. I've been using this since I received it pretty consistently, and I will say that this really helps to reduce post-acne marks. It really does help to fade it a lot quicker and it really is a lovely serum to use if you have these skin concerns. There are some conflicts with this serum according to The Ordinary, so you don't want to be pairing this up with your direct acids like salicylic acid, glycolic, or lactic acid, any type of exfoliating ingredient. You don't want to use this with vitamin C like L-ascorbic acid, Resveratrol plus ferulic acid. These are types of ingredients that you do want to stay away from. If you use these, you can still continue to use them, just don't use them in the same skincare routine as this serum. This is a very soothing product, especially if you do have blemish-prone skin. To have that two percent aloe in here really does help to calm the skin and it really does help to reduce the redness of your blemish as well. I really like this. I feel like this is very unique."
"I have no interest in even trying this formula because it's a chemical-based. And I don't use chemical sunscreens. I only use mineral. And I know they used to have two mineral formulations that they discontinued many years ago and those were flops. Honestly, they were so thick and hard to blend into the skin and left a pretty white cast on the skin no matter what skin tone you had. And then to have found out that they released this and a chemical formulation, I thought they could have done better. Maybe something that is tinted, a better mineral formulation."
"There's a lot of different oils in here. It is very nourishing and hydrating on the lips and my lips never get dry with this. I have used a handful of lip products in the past that contain sunscreen, a lot of them were chemical-based and they used to dry the heck out of my lips, plus they would have this weird taste to them as well. But this one doesn't dry out my lips. I don't just use this for daytime. I will use this a lot for date night if I'm going out for dinner. It really is a beautiful product. That added SPF is just an extra bonus with this product. This has a very light formulation, super light. It is buildable as well. So it's like a lip oil, but there's still a creaminess there that acts as a lip gloss. It really has a beautiful formula."

It settles into fine lines and it can just make your under eyes look dry and crepey. This product, I swear to God, this doesn't make your under eyes look worse. It doesn't look crepey. It doesn't look dry. It is very moisturizing. And it just keeps your under eyes looking fresh for the entire day. It just blends right into the skin and it just stays that way.

"I have an empty Dermatology Luminous Eye Corrector SPF 41. This is actually in the medium shade. And this is a lovely product. I really like this because this can actually replace your concealer, especially if you're someone that doesn't have a lot of discoloration underneath the eyes. Like this could totally replace your everyday concealer, but this can also be used with your concealer. So, you want to use this first as this is that color corrector that will disguise any darkness. It will help to brighten the under eyes, but this also will help with signs of aging. And this has an SPF 41, which is all minerals. So, this does have a zinc oxide of 12% and a titanium dioxide of 10%. And you just push on this little button here. It dispenses the product. And of course, you can go right onto your skin with the applicator or you can just use your finger, whatever you want to do. But I really love this and I do have a backup because I do like to use this a lot in the summer but even in the winter I really love this as well."
5 SKINCARE PRODUCTS THAT KEEP MY SKIN LOOKING FRESH FOR SPRING & SUMMER- GET COMPLIMENTS EVERY TIME!
"The Dermatology Luminous Eye Corrector SPF 41 is an under eye product that will color correct any discoloration and darkness. But this is also an under eye product that can actually replace your everyday concealer. Some concealers can be a little heavy underneath the eyes, some can be too full coverage where it looks cakey. It can actually make your under eyes look worse. It can make your under eyes look more aged where it accentuates all the fine lines and the dryness that we might have. So, come spring and summer, I really like to resort to this product specifically because it's very thin and lightweight. It's not heavy. It doesn't accentuate dryness or fine lines. It actually keeps your under eyes looking fresh and hydrated. It doesn't even move around. Like if you wanted to set this with translucent powder, you can. And sometimes I do, but you don't have to. It just keeps your under eyes looking so radiant, but then of course you're getting that color correction to slightly even out everything and it does a really good job."
IF I COULD ONLY PICK 1 PRODUCT FROM MY FAVORITE SKINCARE BRANDS | THIS WAS REALLY HARD!
"My current favorite is the Luminous Eye Corrector SPF 41, which is one of their newest launches. Medium is the shade that I am the most consistent with because it matches my skin tone perfectly, and when I wear shade medium I don't have to wear a concealer on top. This is going to color correct your under eyes, so if you have dark circles and a lot of discoloration, this is going to help even that out. This is very hydrating, it doesn't look creepy underneath the eyes, it just looks like your skin but of course we're evening out everything. It comes in four shades and this is an SPF 41 as well, so we do get that nice sun protection. I will put this on my eyelids also and this acts as a primer for your shadows and liners."
TOP 5 BEST SPF COMPLEXION PRODUCTS 2024 | SKIN TINT, TINTED MOISTURIZER, CC CREAM FOR FLAWLESS SKIN
"This is the Luminous Eye Corrector SPF 41, so this is all mineral with a zinc oxide of 12% and a titanium dioxide of 10%. This comes in four shades. I have it in the shade fair and medium, and medium is the perfect shade for me personally. It doesn't matter if I'm at my fairest or if I'm at my darkest, medium tends to work perfectly. Fair is also quite lovely, especially if I want that brighter under eye. If you want that brighter under eye look, go with one shade lighter than what you would be naturally and you will achieve that. This can replace your everyday concealer or you can use it hand in hand with your concealer by using this first and your concealer on top. I do also like to use this to conceal any discoloration that possibly one of these tinted complexion products didn't cover. I will go in with this instead of a concealer because we're getting that sun protection, it's tinted, and it does a really good job to get rid of any extra redness. If you have any blemishes, this does a really nice job. I like this a lot for the under eyes because your under eyes never look creepy."
TOP 5 BEST SPF COMPLEXION PRODUCTS 2024 | SKIN TINT, TINTED MOISTURIZER, CC CREAM FOR FLAWLESS SKIN
"Your under eyes will look incredible. It doesn't really settle into fine lines, maybe a little bit right underneath that lash line, but anywhere else it really doesn't settle. It's going to color correct any darkness and discoloration, but also this acts as a really nice eyeshadow primer as well as it evens out your lids. I do recommend setting your lids with a translucent powder once you've applied this, especially if you wear eye makeup, because if you don't your eyelids will crease. But this is wonderful."
I DISCOVERED 5 SKINCARE PRODUCTS TO PREVENT AND TREAT EYE WRINKLES WITHOUT INJECTABLES OR BOTOX
"If you are looking for something that is dedicated for the eyes I love the Dermatology Luminous Eye Corrector SPF 41. This is all mineral with a zinc oxide of 12% and a titanium dioxide of 10% and this is a product that also color corrects so if you have dark circles discoloration you can use this before your concealer or for your foundation for that extra coverage or this could totally replace your concealer. It's super hydrating and it has great ingredients to target signs of aging but again it color corrects and it also protects at the same time so it's a three in one. It has a nice metal applicator you push the button at the back and it dispenses that perfect amount to cover your entire eye area."
EVERYDAY MINIMAL MAKEUP USING TINTED SUNSCREEN - MASTER THE "NO-MAKEUP MAKEUP LOOK"
"This works really well as an eyeshadow primer so if you're someone that wears eyeshadows and eyeliners, just know that this keeps your shadows and liners in place for the entire day. It's very hydrating, it doesn't look cakey underneath the eyes. Once it's dried down, it actually remains skin-like with a little bit of that luminosity so it just looks very healthy. If you're someone that does have crepiness or more fine lines, honestly I feel like you should give this a try because this really doesn't settle into lines. It does crease a little bit underneath my lower lash line so I do like to set this with a little bit of translucent powder, but overall this has a really nice formula where it doesn't settle and look creepy and look even worse than what your eyes look like prior. I highly recommend looking into this."

Concealers, as you know, sometimes they can make our under eyes look 10 times worse than what our eyes look like beforehand. It settles into fine lines and it can just make your under eyes look dry and crepey. This product, I swear to God, this doesn't make your under eyes look worse. It doesn't look crepey. It doesn't look dry. It is very moisturizing. And it just keeps your under eyes looking fresh for the entire day. It just blends right into the skin and it just stays that way. So, this has a really nice formulation. Honestly, one of the best under eye correctors I've ever used. And then you have that sun protection as well, which is just an added bonus."

I'VE FOUND THE TOP-RATED SUNSCREENS FOR 2024 | I'VE TESTED THEM ALL AND THESE ARE TRULY THE BEST!
"I use this in replacement of concealer because it does give that nice light to medium coverage. The more you apply, you most likely could get full coverage, but if you decide to put concealer on top of this just to add more coverage, you totally can. Concealer sits really nicely on top of this eye corrector. This doesn't exactly crease either. It might settle into some fine lines, but it's extremely hydrating and it really sits nicely and sits better underneath the eyes compared to a concealer. I still put a little bit of translucent powder on top of this just for longevity, but this does the job well. I love how it's an SPF 41 and it's a nice product to pair up with concealer or in replacement of concealer. This is all mineral as well. This has a zinc oxide of 12% and a titanium dioxide of 10%. I wear shade medium the most because it does match my skin tone the best. I do bring this on top of the eyelid as this acts as a base for eyeshadows and eyeliners."
"This has an SPF 50, it's broadspectrum with a PA++++ and it's water and sweat resistant up to 40 minutes. It also has a zinc oxide of 12%. This is usually my foundation replacement for the summer and sometimes I will even eliminate foundations in the winter and use this instead. It actually does a very good job to eliminate redness, to even out your skin tone. The more you apply, the darker you will become, the more coverage you will get. I use shades fair and medium and mix them together depending on skin tone. In the summer, I'm usually strictly medium, but in the winter, I am more fair and might add one or two drops of medium just to give myself more color because fair on its own is a little bit too fair when I'm at my fairest."

6 ANTI-AGING SKINCARE PRODUCTS I'M LOVING FOR 2023 | THESE WORK AND I AM SO IMPRESSED!
"I really love this sunscreen and this one is one of my favorites because not only does it help to color correct it does help to even out your skin tone. It's great for those no makeup days, just to even out your skin and add a little bit of color. But also if you're someone that wears makeup on an everyday basis then this is exceptional underneath your makeup. This acts as a makeup primer. Your makeup looks flawless on top of this. If I have any areas that look like my pores are a little bit enlarged this does a good job to blur it out, so when I have my makeup on top, my foundation and everything else, my skin looks very airbrushed. This is an SPF 50 with a PA plus plus plus, it's water resistant up to 40 minutes, and it has 12 percent zinc oxide so it's 100 percent mineral. This comes in four shades and it comes out white, and as you apply it to your skin you do see that color transfer."

"This is the Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield, which is the Flex line so it comes in four different shades. It's 100 percent mineral with an SPF 50, it's water resistant up to 40 minutes, and it does have a PA plus plus plus and there is zinc oxide of 12. I have it in the shade fair but I also have it in the shade medium, so when I'm at my fairest I will use the fair obviously and then during the summer or when I'm self-tanning I will use the medium, and sometimes I will even mix the fair and the medium together if I'm in between shades and I feel like that works really well. This will help to even out your skin tone, it does help to reduce redness if you're someone that has uneven skin tone, but also this acts as a beautiful makeup primer so you do get that longevity with your makeup. You also have this nice radiance. It's nothing too crazy, it's not super glowy and dewy, but you do get this radiance so it just looks like your skin but better. This also gives that blurring effect to the skin, so when I put my foundation on top a lot of the pores that I may have look blurred out."

"I also really love the Dr. Dennis Gross Mineral Sunscreen. This one isn't tinted, just so you know, so if you are looking for a tinted option they do have the Color Science Flex line which I am a huge fan of, but if you want something that is untinted then this would be your go-to."
"I like this a lot because it has that squalane ingredient, it has hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. This is actually really nice for fall and winter because of how moisturizing it is, so if your skin is ever tight or is on the drier side, this would be a great option to go with. This will give that light cover, you could get to a medium coverage but you would have to apply quite a bit, not full coverage at all. But this will give your skin that true glowy dewy complexion. This is not matte; eventually this might dry down skin-like but it takes a really long time to get there. So if you don't like that glow and that dewiness, then either don't use this or you might have to powder up in certain sections once this is applied. It really does give that nice healthy natural look to the skin and it does help to even out your skin tone. I love it, I really do, and I like how there's a larger color range with this one as well."

"It's very hydrating as well. The only downfall I will say with this is that when you apply it to your skin I feel like it does take a little while to tone down so your skin will look really shiny at first but once it starts to dry down and when it's at its perfect finish you will have the most healthiest looking skin it just gives that perfect complexion. I am a big fan of this. I use this on those no makeup makeup days. This does help to even out your skin tone and I feel like this is buildable it gives that light to medium coverage."
"This is a moisturizer with that tint but also it has that built-in SPF so a little bit of everything. It has a zinc oxide of 10% and a titanium dioxide of 5.5% so it will protect your skin from both UVA and UVB rays, and it's water resistant up to 80 minutes. I really like this option for when I just want to use something and not have to mix or match with other products. The only thing with this is that I have to use this when I have a tan going on or if I have a self-tanner. When I'm at my fairest this doesn't quite match my skin tone and it does look a little unnatural. So in the dead of winter when I'm fair I really can't use this unless I'm self-tanning. If you do have my skin tone or you're more fair than I am this might look a little unnatural unless you are tanned or self-tanning. But I do like this because it is fragrance-free, it has vitamin E in here, it's moisturizing for my combination skin. Even if you have normal to oily skin I think you will still quite enjoy this, but if you have dry skin and your skin is feeling tight this is going to be amazing. This really is great for fall and winter as well because of the moisture that it gives. I would say that this provides a light to medium coverage, depending on how much you are applying. This isn't full coverage."

"This is one of the best sunscreens I've ever used for the body. It's broadspectrum with 20% zinc oxide, so it's all mineral, and it has a beautiful floral scent. I'm not really a floral type of person, but I really love this scent, especially after it has toned down a little bit after a half an hour or so. This doesn't leave your skin greasy or sticky, your skin does not cling to your clothes, there's no gross sunscreen smell, and it truly doesn't leave a white cast on my skin. It actually blends in quite nice. I do like to prep my skin beforehand with a body lotion or a body cream just to give my skin that slip before going in with this because I feel like this spreads and applies well."
"This is the Summer Fridays Shade Drops. This has that milky serum texture that absorbs really nicely, it's lightweight, it's moisturizing, and it has a zinc oxide of 99.4%. I love this. Both of them work really well underneath makeup."
"This is the Kosis Dream Beam Silicone-free Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 with ceramides and peptides. I've been eyeing this since it launched. I'm not sure if I'm sold on this yet because when there are formulations that are slightly tinted with that pearlescent in it, sometimes it doesn't always look the best on my fair skin. On my skin tone, sometimes it can look very unnatural even with or without makeup. Sometimes these formulations can look very shiny on the skin. I don't want to look like tin man. I don't want to look like my skin is super greasy and shiny and sweaty looking. I just really like that natural skin-like glow. I might pick it up but I'm still deciding."
"One of my favorite sunscreen formulations, this one is very moisturizing, it's lightweight, it's not greasy, perfect for all skin types. It works great on its own but also underneath makeup. It's 100 mineral with zinc oxide of 13.3 percent. This formula contains aloe and it also has a vitamin C derivative. I will say this is not water resistant, so if you plan on being in water, playing sports, or sweating a lot, you really want that water resistant formulation, and unfortunately this formula is not. But this one really is great for every day just to run errands and it's exceptional. On me personally I really don't see a white cast on my skin. I feel like this blends into the skin really well."

This is going to be plumping and hydrating. Let's say you have somewhere special to go and you don't plan on wearing sunscreen, maybe you're going out for the evening, then this would be perfect in replacement of your moisturizer.

If you love hyaluronic acid, you're going to love this because it's very similar to hyaluronic acid but polyglutamic acid holds on to four times more moisture than hyaluronic acid. If you're looking for that serum that is really hydrating and plumping but also something that acts as a sealant to lock in the hydration from your other serums, your essence, your facial mist, then this is great to use every day twice a day. You want to use this as the very last serum in your skincare routine before your moisturizer and your sunscreen. This is basically going to lock in the hydration from your serums. The texture of this is thicker than a watery serum, it does have that thickness to it, but I've never experienced pilling with this. I get the most beautiful plumped look to my skin. It looks bouncy, it looks juicy, and I'm all about that. This is a wonderful product from The Inky List."

"This formula is super lightweight but it's moisturizing and this gives that light coverage as well. So if you have any redness or let's say you have blemishes dark spots, this doesn't exactly cover that up. I feel like your redness and your blemishes will still shine through at least from the experience that I have had with this. So sometimes I do like to put a little bit of foundation on those areas for additional coverage or even concealer and when I do that I feel like everything looks really good and the complexion looks even. And also you're using less foundation and makeup that way when you're using a tinted formula. I really like it. I feel like this is a great affordable option, something that evens out your skin tones slightly but it just has that lightweight formula that feels very comfortable on the skin."
"This formula is amazing. They say this is a matte formulation, I would say that this is more of that skin-like finish. It doesn't exactly give your skin that glow but it feels comfortable. It doesn't feel drying on the skin. It does not cling to dry patches, which is really important for me. I don't like when sunscreens cling onto dry patches where you have that flakiness. I hate when sunscreens make my skin feel tight. This one does not. This one is very moisturizing. It's incredible."

And it is a broad-spectrum SPF 50 with a PA++++, which is really good. And it's water and sweat resistant up to 80 minutes. This does contain chemical-based sunscreen ingredients, but I think this is a nice one if you want that built-in self-tanner and it doesn't give you orange looking skin. It's actually very realistic.

So we have that color corrector. This comes in four shades. I have shade medium, and medium actually blends in really nicely when I'm wearing foundation or some type of tinted sunscreen. But if you want more of that brighter under eye, go with one shade lighter than what you feel like you would be naturally. So naturally, I'm medium, but if I want that brighter eye, then fair is typically the shade I will go with. This actually replaces concealer. So whenever I decide to use this, I don't have to put concealer on top of it for more coverage. So it does provide a decent amount of coverage. But if you do have dark circles and you have a lot of discoloration under your eyes, it's very possible that you would still need to apply a little bit of your everyday concealer on top of this just to add more coverage."

4 DRMTLGY FAVORITES FOR A FLAWLESS “NO-MAKEUP” LOOK - THIS SKINCARE ROUTINE IS GAME CHANGING!
"It's very moisturizing so if you have any type of texture, dryness, crepiness, honestly this does not accentuate that. This does a very good job to almost blur that out and it disguises any dryness or crepiness that you possibly have. Some eye products will make your under eyes look worse than what it was prior, this product does not do that. I can really appreciate that because sometimes for me personally I can be a little dry in the inner corner, especially during the winter months, and this does not cling onto dryness at all. It doesn't really crease either. It just does a really good job to disguise any additional discoloration. It's hydrating and it's not going to make your skin look worse, like more made-up or cakey."
4 DRMTLGY FAVORITES FOR A FLAWLESS “NO-MAKEUP” LOOK - THIS SKINCARE ROUTINE IS GAME CHANGING!
"I've had some dry blemishes in the past and this really didn't cling on to it either, it almost disguised the dryness. It was quite impressive. It almost acts as that concealer and it matches my skin tone perfectly. I'm just so impressed with this. It acts as that concealer with just a hint of a tint so your complexion looks flawless and glowy. This is broadspectrum with an SPF 30, all mineral, with a zinc oxide of 22.5% and a titanium dioxide of 12.5%. It comes in three shades. I like to stick with the fair because it acts more of a translucent shade for me personally. I prefer to use this shade if I'm reapplying several times a day because this is designed to be used on top of a full face of makeup so that your makeup isn't getting ruined throughout the day. When we have a full face of makeup we can't exactly put liquid sunscreen back on our skin, so that's why they came up with this."
DRMTLGY BLACK FRIDAY SALE 2024 | MUST HAVE ANTI-AGING PRODUCTS THAT ACTUALLY DELIVER RESULTS!
"The Luminous Eye Corrector SPF 41 comes in four shades. I have it in fair and medium, and I use shade medium the most because it matches my skin tone perfectly and it actually replaces my everyday concealer. Shade fair is lovely for that brighter under-eye look, especially on my skin tone, but it's pretty light underneath the eyes and sometimes I don't necessarily want that brightness. If your concealers sit on top of this, they sit really nicely, and this could actually replace your concealer if you really wanted to. The shade medium replaces my concealer because this just blends right into my skin and evens out my under eyes. This is a color corrector so it will help to disguise any darkness, discoloration, and those pinky purpley tones. It helps to give sun protection because of course it has that SPF 41. I do use this on my lids underneath my brow bone as this is a great product to use as that shadow primer, so it really does prep your lids for shadows and liners. There's great ingredients in here to target signs of aging at the same time, and this is very hydrating."
DRMTLGY LUMINOUS EYE CORRECTOR SPF 41 | DEMO AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS! SHADES FAIR & MEDIUM
"I am very impressed with this formulation. I really love how my under eyes look. I love the fact that I could either use fair or medium, and I really like how lightweight they feel and how moisturizing they are. The fact that you don't have to set this with translucent powder is an added bonus. If you're just wearing this on its own, there is no need to use a setting powder because it didn't even crease underneath the eyes. I also love that this is an SPF 41 with the higher zinc and titanium dioxide. The fact that I could either use fair or medium here is an added bonus, and this formulation is a little bit more moisturizing as well. If you do have dryness underneath your eyes, I feel like you should try this brand first."
"It gives your skin that skin-like look with a little bit of that glow to it, and blushes and bronzers sit really nicely on top of it. Concealer as well, you could totally put foundation on top of this if you really wanted to, but this is actually lovely on its own. I'm going to give this a 6.5 out of 10 only because the tint just isn't there. I can only wear this if I'm self-tanning, so it would be nice if they came out with some other options for shades because even if you have a darker skin tone this possibly may not even work. We need like a light, a medium, and a deep shade here. I just don't feel like this color is going to work for everyone."
"I'm going to give this an 8.5 out of 10. I wish that this was a water resistant formulation. If you're going to be near water, playing sports, you're going to be sweating a lot, you want that water resistant formula. But this one is lovely especially if you're just running everyday errands."
"I've been using it for years. I would buy this first before that eye serum because this does it all and I really like the cream. It's a little bit more moisturizing on the skin and this has the exosomes, the growth factors, the NIOD one does not. So, this just does a little bit more in my opinion and from my experience."

The AHAs are further down in the ingredient list so I would assume that the percentage of those are pretty low, but it really is gentle and it does help to keep everything really soft and smooth and of course, bright. You can use it every day twice a day and it's a great one because it pairs up nicely with other skin care products including an eye cream on top if you wanted to, face moisturizer, sunscreens, concealers.

I've been using this for a couple of years and it's one of my go-tos. So if I'm not using this there are two other eye serums that I'm using instead. This bottle will actually last a very long time. It's 15 mls of product but all you need is one little drop on your ring finger and that would be enough to do both of your eyes. Less is more when it comes to the eye area, so don't use too much because it's not necessary. If you're looking for a good eye serum with advanced ingredients then I would say go with this one."

I do use a lot through the week, if I'm not using this at night then I'm using this in the morning.

BEST EYE SERUMS FOR ANTI-AGING | 2024 | DARK CIRCLES, PUFFINESS, FINE LINES/WRINKLES | OVER 30
"Ruscus aculeatus is an ingredient that helps to depuff. There's other wonderful ingredients in here like niacinamide, it's very hydrating, it's plumping, it does help to improve dark circles, texture, crepiness, all of that good stuff. And I can't recommend this enough. It really is one of the best with the Neostrata brand. The Neostrata brand is more advanced, they use ingredients that are more advanced. If you want something that is more advanced, something that has several different types of peptides, of course we have vitamin C in here, and then ingredients to help depuff and correct dark circles, then I would say you should look into this. It's thin like water and there is a little bit of a thickness to it which helps to moisturize the skin, but it always sits great underneath sunscreen and makeup and it never pills."
"This one has three types of vitamin C's and there's also tranexamic acid so these two ingredients specifically can really help to brighten up the skin around the eyes if you struggle with dark circles discoloration dullness then vitamin C and tranexamic acid with consistency can really help to brighten and this eye serum really does brighten. I don't struggle with dark circles I'm very fortunate but sometimes my under eyes can be a little dull and this has been a great one to use to brighten up the skin specifically so I really love using this in my morning routine but this can be used every day twice a day. There is also peptides in here which will help to firm the skin and address fine lines and wrinkles there's bakuchiol which is a plant-based alternative to retinol so it does very similar things to what retinol does but it is way more gentle."
"The C5 super boost eye cream has 5% vitamin C as well plus hyaluronic acid and polypeptide so this is going to help hydrate, firm and brighten. It was a little bit brightening and yes it is very moisturizing, but there are other eye serums and eye creams that I have used in the past that have performed better than this. Other eye serums and eye creams that I have talked about contain more ingredients to target signs of aging, and I would rather use those than this because they will target multiple signs of aging. I'm not going to repurchase this or pick this up again."
"I've also really been enjoying the CeraVe Skin Renewing Eye Cream. I love eye creams and eye serums, especially the ones that contain retinol and other active ingredients to treat the skin around the eyes for fine lines, crow's feet, crepiness, keeping the skin nice and smooth and bright. This one has peptides, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, diamide, and caffeine. There's no retinol in here and there's no vitamin C that could possibly irritate your skin. Because this contains ingredients that work really nicely with retinol and other actives, I will use this sometimes on top of an eye serum that contains retinol."
"This is something that you can use to get rid of red eye, not pink eye due to conjunctivitis because I don't think this would work for that. But this does a really good job to get rid of the redness and then the whites of your eyes are white and bright and you just look more awake. I just use it when I need it and it does a really good job for when you need something in a pinch to get rid of that red eye."
"They've always had their caffeine solution and that one is designed for de-puffing. I found that that formulation was very drying and I also didn't feel like it depuffed whatsoever."
"This one of course has that caffeine to depuff but it also contains Metel 3000 which is a type of peptide that helps with signs of aging. If you're into creams and you want something that is affordable that does work for deep puffing, try the Inky List one. I have used this on and off for a couple of years now and it really does work. I just feel like it works better when I pair it up with an eye serum or right after one of the eye masks. On its own it does work but it works better with something else that helps to depuff. Great underneath makeup, great underneath sunscreen. You can use this everyday twice a day and I've never experienced irritation with this one either."
"These are extremely brightening and one of the best eye masks on the market, hands down. Not only because it's brightening, but they're very saturated with ingredients. It's a great product to depuff and rejuvenate the under eyes. If you want to use this every day, you can, or just use this a couple of times per week like I do. If you wake up puffy, this is a great product to depuff. The longer you can leave these on, the better. Your under eyes will be bright after one use, but with continuous use, that brightness is going to get brighter and brighter and the results are absolutely fabulous. There's niacinamide and caffeine in here, but there's also licorice root extract, which is that ingredient that will naturally brighten the skin. There's also cucumber, blueberry, and watermelon extract, peptides, hyaluronic acid, and aloe. There's a lot of great ingredients that will hydrate and plump the skin and help soften fine lines and wrinkles."

Your under eyes will be bright after one use, but with continuous use, that brightness is going to get brighter and brighter and the results are absolutely fabulous. There's niacinamide and caffeine in here, but there's also licorice root extract, which is that ingredient that will naturally brighten the skin. There's also cucumber, blueberry, and watermelon extract, peptides, hyaluronic acid, and aloe. There's a lot of great ingredients that will hydrate and plump the skin and help soften fine lines and wrinkles."

They give that rejuvenated look and feel underneath the eyes. You get 60 masks, so 30 pairs.

I use them more so in my morning routine but sometimes at night, and you can use them every day, twice a day if you choose to. They don't contain active ingredients like retinol where it can irritate and dry out the under eyes, so if you wanted to use this alongside an eye serum or eye cream you could totally do that. These provide your under eyes with a lot of moisture, so I will go in with an eye cream or eye serum afterwards to lock in hydration."

"I've tried many eye masks in the past and nothing has performed as well as these. These are exceptional and they honestly are the best of the best. These are great for deep puffing and this is mainly why I use these pretty much on a daily because I wake up puffy a lot so these always do the trick to bring down that puffiness. Some of that formulation that gets on my hands like the serum I will apply it underneath the brow bone because I do become a little puffy there too and it helps to depuff. This is great for dark circles, great if you have crepiness, dryness, dullness. It helps to brighten if you have dark circles. I don't have dark circles so I can't speak whether this would work for that or not, but for depuffing, for rejuvenating the skin, hydrating and plumping, this does the job and it never disappoints. They're very saturated, they're very wet, which is a really good thing. You don't want an eye mask that is just slightly damp because they're not going to work the same as these. I keep them in the fridge. You are getting 60 eye masks so 30 pairs and they depuff even better when they're nice and cold and it's just more refreshing to use as well when they're cool."
"If you are in the market for a new eye cream, this is a really nice one to try. I've been using this since last year on and off and I still really like it a lot. It has the peptides. I do find this to be quite firming. It has the 1% bakuchiol, which will help to improve skin elasticity around the eyes and the lids. There's also a vitamin C derivative, sodium ascorbyl phosphate. There's omegas. It's very moisturizing but not heavy and it's not greasy whatsoever. So it can be used everyday, twice a day. And when you apply this, it almost dries down skin-like, but it feels like your skin feels a little velvety. It has a beautiful texture and it sits great underneath sunscreen and even your makeup like concealer or under eye correctors. It actually is a great makeup prep. All you need is one little pump and that will do both of your eyes, so less is more. And if you want to use this twice a day, you can. It is very gentle from my experience."

And this also has four types of peptides as well. So you have a little bit of everything in here, which I really like. And it's a cream and you can use it twice a day if you want to."

So when you put them underneath your eyes they drip down your skin and that's a wonderful thing, that's what you want. And you want to leave it on as long as possible so I will leave these on until the eye masks start to dry up, until they start to shrivel up, and that's when I know to peel them off because your skin has just absorbed all of that moisture. When you leave it on longer you will see better results, especially if you're puffy, if you're lacking that brightness, that hydration, these really do rejuvenate the skin. You are getting 60 eye masks so 30 pairs, so if you were to use this every day which you can, this will last you a month.

6 ANTI-AGING PRODUCTS FROM DRMTLGY THAT I CAN'T STOP USING | THESE REALLY DO WORK FOR SIGNS OF AGING
"This is literally one of the best eye masks that I have ever used in terms of depuffing and to hydrate the under eyes. It really helps to plump up the skin as well, and it's great if you have dark circles and fine lines. This type of product will also help with firmer skin, especially when you're consistent with these. You can use them multiple times a day, you can use them every day if you wish. There are 60 in one jar, and of course you can leave them on for as long as you want. Sometimes I will leave it on for a half an hour, sometimes an hour, or maybe even 15 minutes if I don't have a lot of time. When you pull them off and you go and put an eye cream on top, which I do recommend by the way, because once you peel them off your under eyes just feel so hydrated and they feel so plump that you want to lock in the hydration with an eye cream or your face moisturizer. Your under eyes will look incredible for the entire day. If you have somewhere special to go, you're going to a wedding, maybe you're going to a party, pop these on before your makeup and your under eyes will look incredible for the entire night as well. There is niacinamide in these which will help."
"The DRMTLGY HPR Eye Cream has an ingredient called hydroxypolone retinoid, which is a newer retinoid that is more gentle but yet powerful and it really does work. Retinoids are great for targeting a lot of skin issues like texture, crepiness, fine lines and wrinkles and it really helps to rejuvenate the skin. I love eye creams that contain retinoids because the skin is so thin and delicate and it's one of the areas where we do start to see premature aging. This would be a great product to use every night around the eyes. If you're unsure how your skin is going to adjust with this, then I would say start with one or two nights per week and then gradually increase your usage from there. There's other ingredients in here like pumpkin seed oil, peptides, and glycerin. It is very moisturizing and quite repairing around the eyes."

It really helps with texture, crepiness, to soften crow's feet, and it really keeps everything nice and smooth. My under eyes have never been smoother since using this. The cream is very rich and it really does keep that skin nice and comfortable. It can be used twice a day but I would start with once a day and gradually increase if that is your goal because we're all different. Even though they say this is gentle, we're all different. I've never experienced dryness or irritation with it. I did use it once in my morning skincare routine and I did not pair it up with makeup, so I just used it with sunscreen and it worked fine. There was no peeling whatsoever. When there's retinols and retinoids and active ingredients in my skincare products, I generally like to keep these for nighttime. All you need is one little pump for both of your eyes and that is sufficient enough. I put this underneath that brow bone. I don't go too much on my eyelids just because I don't want there to be dryness in case that ever did happen."

From my experience using this, it's really gentle. I've never had any irritation or dryness. That said, I've been using a lot of actives around my eyes for a very long time, so maybe my eye area is just accustomed to actives. We're all different, so please be cautious, maybe start with one or two days a week and then gradually increase from there. This formulation also has peptides in it and it's very moisturizing, especially for the winter months. Less is more with the amount you use.

SMOOTHER LIPS WITHOUT FILLER - THE ORDINARY SQUALANE + AMINO ACIDS LIP BALM - NO LIP BALM ADDICTION
"The Ordinary has the Multi-Peptide Eye Serum which is fabulous. I have tried that a few times with this. An eye serum is great because it's going to target signs of age, puffiness, dark circles, crepiness, all that good stuff."

"The Multi-Peptide Eye Serum is amazing. There's peptides in here, there is caffeine so great for signs of aging, great for puffiness and dark circles, and this formulation is also very hydrating and plumping as well. This one took a little while to finish up but I do have a backup of this as well."
THE ORDINARY'S BEST ANTI-AGING SERUMS | THESE ARE LEGIT AND THEY DO WORK! ACHIEVE MAXIMUM RESULTS!
"This is made for the eye area and contains multiple different types of peptides with caffeine and niacinamide, so if you have dark circles or puffiness, these two ingredients can help to improve that. I don't have dark circles so I can't speak whether or not this actually works for that, but I do wake up puffy pretty much every single morning around my eye area and this really helps to de-puff. I really like using this in my morning skincare routine. Everything layers up nicely, my moisturizer, my sunscreen, my makeup sit great on top of this and I've never had an issue with pilling nor have I ever had dryness or irritation. This one is very thin and lightweight, it's not sticky, it's not tacky, and all you need is one drop and one drop will do both of your eyes, so a little bit goes a long way. This will address crow's feet, fine lines and wrinkles, it will help firm, it will brighten, it will plump, but it will also help with dark circles and puffiness."

"The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Eye Serum has nice cinemas and caffeine as well as peptides so it will do similar things in terms of brightening, in terms of depuffing and firming up the skin, targeting crow's feet. If you can just be consistent with this you can still see and achieve good results, it just might take a little bit longer. You're getting 15 milliliters of product, and one drop will do both of your eyes so this will last a really long time. All you need is one drop or even half a drop because it spreads so nicely. I do like to put either an eye cream on top or just my face moisturizer to lock in hydration, but I love this for every day, twice a day."

The ingredient list has peptides, caffeine, and niacinamide, and it's also very hydrating and plumping as well. If you want something that's more affordable, this one really is effective."
THE ORDINARY'S 6 NEW PRODUCTS EXPLAINED | HOW & WHEN TO USE EACH PRODUCT FOR MAXIMUM RESULTS!
"I love peptides. This formula contains four peptides which helps to address signs of aging but it also helps to firm the skin at the same time. But this also has caffeine and niacinamide which will help with dark circles and puffiness. I wake up puffy almost every morning and I can tell you right now that this serum really helps to reduce that puffiness. This is a very hydrating formula, it's also very plumping, so if you're someone that wears makeup your concealer just looks exceptional underneath the eyes when you're using this product. This is a formula that you can use every day twice a day and I do, I use this all the time. All you need is one drop and that will do both of your eyes. If you're looking for an eye serum to help with signs of aging, dark circles and puffiness, this really is a lovely one to check out and it really is one of my faves."
5 BEST EYE SERUMS FOR ANTI-AGING 2023 | DARK CIRCLES, PUFFINESS, FINE LINES/WRINKLES | OVER 30
"The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Eye Serum is another serum that I consider the best. This one really does work, the formulation is on point, and I am so happy that they came out with an eye serum that doesn't dry out the under eyes. This one has caffeine but it doesn't dry out the skin and it does depuff. It also has niacinamide for dark circles, but it also contains four types of peptides which really help to firm the skin and help to soften fine lines. If I am super consistent with this and I'm using it every day twice a day for a long period of time, I really do see a difference where the under eyes feel and look a little firmer. Plus it's hydrating. It sits nicely underneath sunscreen and makeup, and this one really does depuff. I always put a moisturizer on top of this while it's still damp around the eye area because when you do that, that's when you will achieve that plumper hydrated look for the entire day."

"You're also getting 15 mls of product. This is more like a watery type of serum, but there is a little bit of a thickness to it which is coming from the glycerin ingredient, but this is lovely. So if you're looking for a good affordable one and you love the Ordinary, this is a must try."
THE ORDINARY & NIOD SALE 2023 | I SPLURGED ONCE AGAIN AND THIS IS WHAT I PURCHASED!
"It will help to address crow's feet, fine lines, puffiness, and dark circles. It really does help to give that overall brightness. It's very hydrating as well and it's effective. It has peptides, caffeine, and niacinamide. This is a great option if you're looking for something that isn't as advanced and also something that is more affordable."
"The advanced eye cream has four types of peptides, there's ceramides in here as well and there is shea butter. Very moisturizing, very gentle on that delicate skin on the neck. Also bring this down to your chest and décolletage area as well. The neck can be a very sensitive area for a lot of people, especially if you're trying to use actives on the neck. So a lot of people can't use retinol on the neck or a vitamin C or even a glycolic or lactic acid for that matter. So if you want to treat the skin on your neck and you are more on that sensitive side, then peptides really are the thing to use. This one has four peptides, the ceramides to prevent moisture loss, protect the barrier, and of course shea butter."
"This is super gentle in my opinion. I've been using this for a couple of years and this is one of my go-to just for that gentle moisturizing eye cream. This doesn't have any actives in it but there is one peptide and of course this does have that Marine algae which is basically like a retinol alternative so it will help with fine lines and wrinkles but just know that this ingredient will take longer to work before you probably see results with the softening of fine lines. For me personally it's not something that works instantly but the squalane in here is very hydrating and also we have that paragress extract which helps to firm and smooth the skin, again another ingredient that might take a little bit longer to work but consistency is key. This is one of those eye creams that I like if my under eyes are dry or if I want to use one of my favorite eye serums that contain a retinol that have active ingredients in it, then this would be the eye cream that I would use on top of it to lock in moisture."
"This is a must in my hair care routine. It really helps to strengthen and repair the bonds of your hair. Because I'm blonde, I feel like this is a must for me personally. If my hair appointment is coming up, I will use this about two times before my hair appointment just to strengthen my hair. And then post hair appointment, I will use this six hair washes post hair treatment to really strengthen and repair my hair from getting my hair highlighted. Ever since doing this technique, and I've been doing this now for over a year, I've noticed a big difference with my hair. My hair actually grows, my hair doesn't break, and it really keeps my hair strong and healthy looking. My hair isn't frizzy either. It really has improved my hair. Just be patient with this and use it and be consistent. Within a couple of months, you really should see a difference with your hair. You don't need to use this every day. You may want to use this a couple of times per month. It really just depends on you. I put about a pump, a pump and a half into my palm. This was the collaboration with Future Society, which is a limited edition scent. It smells so good, it smells way better than the original K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask. I really hope that they keep it long term because it's really nice."

RED LIGHT THERAPY HAIR GROWTH ROUTINE FOR FINE HAIR - EVERYTHING I'M DOING IN 2026
"I've been using this now for pretty much two years, and this is the one product that has honestly transformed my hair. It has brought the health back, it makes the ends of my hair a lot stronger, and it does a really good job to repair damaged hair as well. I usually use this as maintenance throughout the month. I don't use it every time I wash my hair, but if I have a hair appointment coming up, I will be consistent with it for the first two to three washes before my appointment. And then after I've had my hair highlighted, I will use it for the next six washes post-appointment to really strengthen the ends and just bring the health back to my hair. Ever since I've been doing that, I've noticed a big difference. My hair is just shinier, softer, it looks a lot healthier, and it really is coming from this product. I usually do two pumps, and you want to warm it up in the palms of your hands until your hands are white, then apply it to your hair. I focus mainly on mids to ends and my bangs because those are generally the areas that can be a little drier and a little more frizzy."

"I apply it to mids to ends and I apply it in my bangs and I leave it in my hair for like 5 to 8 minutes, maybe 10. Then I rinse it out and my hair just feels so silky. It really makes a big difference. The K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask is a non-negotiable. This will truly transform your hair. I have been very consistent with this over the last year, year and a half, and I have truly seen a big difference with my hair. I have been through the ringer with my hair. I've dealt with a lot of breakage and dryness several years ago, and my hair is starting to look and feel so much better. And I really do feel like the K18 brand has really made my hair become the way it looks now. Especially this product right here. After you've done your hair care routine in the shower and you hop out of the shower, towel dry your hair and then put maybe one or two pumps of this in your hair. I will do this maybe once a week, once every other week. But if I just got my hair done and I just got highlights, I will use the K18 mask every hair wash for the next six hair washes to strengthen the ends to bring that shine and health into my hair. And this is where I have noticed a big difference with my hair."

"This is the K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask. This really does work to repair damaged hair and to repair the bonds of your hair. I like to use this sometimes several hair washes in a row and then I might take a break for a few weeks and then start back up again. This is a great product to use even after your hair appointment just to strengthen your ends, especially if you've noticed that you have a little bit of damage or maybe your hair's feeling a little dry. This is incredible and it really does make your hair super soft and shiny, and eventually with consistency, like this can totally repair the hair and make it look healthy. I will be purchasing another one because I feel like this does the job really well."

And then just before I go back to the hair salon again, I will use this one or two times just to strengthen my hair up again. This really is gamechanging whether you have blonde hair or not. This can really improve the bonds and I love it. Every time there's a sale, I always stock up."

It helps to strengthen the bonds of your hair and it also helps to add shine and keeping your hair looking as healthy as possible. After I've just had my hair colored I like to use the K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask consistently for the next six hair washes to really strengthen my hair to repair the hair because sometimes when I go blonde my hair can be a little dry and sometimes I can experience breakage as well because I have fine hair. So this is something that I will use for the next six hair washes post appointment. After that I might only use this maybe two or three times per month."

"I will use this once or twice before I go and get my hair done. And by doing that, I have noticed a really big difference with my hair. I have pretty fine hair, so I need to be careful when coloring it, when heat styling my hair, and this has made a huge difference. So, this is a non-negotiable. This always needs to be in my collection."
"With the series 2, this contains more LED bulbs. It also contains deep near infrared along with red and near infrared light. And I can't recommend this enough. This has really made a big difference with my skin. And it's honestly a great product to rejuvenate the skin as well. I've been using relay therapy for over four years, I actually might think we're on five years right now, and I've never removed it out of my routine. I've just upgraded my masks over the years with different technologies. If you've been wanting to try an LED mask, try the Current Body one. This does not disappoint."
"You only need a thin layer. Your skin doesn't have to be super dark red. The first thing that I notice is the brightness of my face. I just feel like my skin looks more refreshed. My forehead has like a sheen to it. It really improved texture right off the bat and I just have this nice refreshed appearance to my skin. I had a little bit of texture on my cheeks prior to applying the serum and it's not as bad. My skin's not red. It's not irritated. It feels really good. It's a little tight but my skin is always like that every time I use some type of chemical exfoliant. It just looks more refreshed and I like how nice and bright my skin looks as well."

"I love this mask, this is actually the mask that I've been using the most lately because of the different modes, the red light mode, the near infrared and the magenta. I really love my experience with this mask. I really do see a difference when I take this off, and when I'm consistent with this mask I really notice that some of the discoloration that I have on my cheeks has definitely lightened. I still have the discoloration but it's not as pronounced. I do have freckles, I do have some facial redness as well, and I've just noticed that my complexion looks a lot brighter and a little bit more even, which is really nice. With consistency I feel like this can really work and you can really achieve a nice even complexion. For those that do have melasma and deep hyperpigmentation, the red light mode is a nice mode to use."
"There are four AHAs here so there's glycolic, lactic, citric and malic acid and then it has that salicylic acid that BHA and then in this one here there's a retinol there's antioxidants and a lot of other great anti-aging ingredients but also common ingredients as well like green tea to really calm the skin barrier and with these pads you really do see instant results your skin is immediately brighter it's softer it looks more rejuvenated and of course with consistency these can really help to soften fine lines improve that uneven skin tone but it can also help to stimulate new collagen as well. These are meant to be used every day but again I only use this maybe once or twice a week. Also don't forget to apply your sunscreen on an everyday basis and reapply several times a day especially if you're outside because glycolic, lactic and salicylic acid specifically can really make your skin more sensitive to the sun so make sure that you're wearing sunscreen no matter what. These are truly some lovely hybrid formulations that can target multiple skin types and skin concerns."

"This is going to do a really good job to remove all of that gunk and the dryness and it's going to give that nice brightness to the skin. Peel number two has retinol in it, ascorbic acid, there's Resveratrol, there's a lot of antioxidants in here that can improve texture and tone but also signs of aging as well. When you're done with this your skin just glows, your skin just looks incredible. I use this at night time. These are meant to be used every day if you can, and of course the more consistent you are with these the better, but you may not want to use this every day. I feel like exfoliating maybe once or twice is sufficient enough. If you're looking for a good exfoliating product that also targets signs of aging and that uneven skin tone then I would look into this. There is a gentle, there is an extra strength, but my skin does the best with the universal."

"I really like this. I feel like it's very hydrating, it feels very comfortable on the skin. I don't experience anything out of the ordinary, no irritation, no nothing. It pairs up nicely with other hydrating serums. It does have a little bit of a milky consistency, like a little bit thicker than a water-based serum, but you don't have to pair anything with this. You could just cleanse your skin and put this on and that's it, or you could put a moisturizer on top of this, which I would suggest just to keep your skin well moisturized, especially if you're new to the product. I love a good drugstore moment and this really is lovely."
"Unfortunately my skin reacted the exact same as it did a couple years ago. My skin became really rosy, I had that burning sensation to my skin, and I also broke out as well, especially on my forehead and my temples. So this was again a fail unfortunately. This is going to basically exfoliate your skin, it's going to rejuvenate the skin, give that brighter complexion, it does have that warming sensation to it. Just so you know, so this is probably why my skin became quite rosy and my skin felt like it had that burning sensation. I have combination skin, I am acne prone. If you have sensitive skin, please be careful with this, because I wouldn't say that my skin is that sensitive but it's very sensitive to this. And also there's fragrance in here, it does have that cinnamon scent, it's a little artificial."
"The CurrentBody LED mask is red light therapy that I've been talking about for several years. This is the mask that you put on for 10 minutes, and I also have the neck and décolletage one on as well so this is treating the chest as well as the neck. It's also a 10-minute treatment and I do have these on at the same time. Red light therapy is great for so many things but it's especially great to help produce new collagen, soften fine lines, achieve that brighter complexion, and it can really help to even out your skin tone in time as well. Red light therapy is great for wound healing also. There are so many benefits, so I'm loving this."

Now when I first started using this I was using this every day but now I might only use this three or four times per week which really is sufficient enough.

I like to use this two different ways: I like to use this on its own in replacement of moisturizer, and I will also pair this up with a moisturizer if my skin really needs that moisture. When your skin needs some TLC, this really is a great product to use. I like to use this more at nighttime, I don't generally use this in my morning routine because it is quite thick and rich and it can be a little greasy on the skin. Even on top of tretinoin I use this with copper peptides, sometimes maybe with lactic acid. You can use this with anything. There's niacinamide, there's glycerin, there's hyaluronic acid, also there's additional ingredients that are fabulous as well. This is now fragrance free, their old formula had peppermint oil, this one does not have any fragrance, and it's wonderful."
"The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Mask is great if you have acne prone skin, you have texture, you have bumps, and you have blackheads. It's also amazing to use if you have oily and combination skin. You might want to use it a couple of days a week and leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes and rinse off."
"The exfoliating body lotion is amazing if you have dry, scaly, flaky skin on your legs. If you have texture on your chest, if you have ingrown hairs where you have those bumps, this is going to be your go-to to correct all of that. I use this all the time. I use this a lot in the summer on the backs of my thighs to get rid of ingrown hairs like those bumps. And then in the winter, I like to use this on my legs. And I also like to use this a lot on my chest because sometimes my chest will develop texture and this wipes out the texture and it gives the most softest, smoothest skin ever. It's also a very moisturizing lotion as well. There's oils in here, there's ceramides, and there's also peptides. The main ingredient here is 12% lactic acid. This is quite powerful and you do smell it. It smells very medicated when you're using it. I wouldn't recommend using this right after shaving or right after waxing because you most likely will experience a burning, tingling sensation that could last for a couple of minutes. But it is a good one to use on the days that you did not shave or wax. And it really does perform quite well, especially during the winter months."

"If you're looking for a really nice body lotion that exfoliates and helps with ingrown hairs and those bumps that we can develop on the backs of our thighs, and you're just looking for something to keep your skin smooth, soft, and bright, this is a must try. I am so impressed with this. I couldn't believe how well this works. I use this occasionally on my heels, sometimes I will use this on my hands before I go to bed just to exfoliate them. I will basically use this from my chest down. It works anywhere and it is amazing. I am somebody that develops a lot of bumps on the backs of my thighs, and I've actually been using this instead of another product I do like, and it has performed really well. There is a little bit of a medicinal scent to it, like a chemical scent, because this contains 12% lactic acid. But there's also ceramides in here, which I think is really important when you do have a chemical exfoliant at 12%. There's also some peptides in here. This is very moisturizing, but when you use this you might experience that tingling sensation. I know I do pretty much every time I use this, but especially so once I have shaved my legs."
"Using something like this after shaving, I can go two weeks without using this and those bumps will appear. So it's something that I need to be very consistent with, whether it's every other day or a few times per week. I don't have to use this every day, but just a few times per week will keep those ingrowns away. And I love this. It does have a medicated scent to it. If you use this directly after shaving or waxing, you most likely will experience a tingling sensation. I do. And that sensation will only last for about 30 seconds. If you're going to be using this all over your body, especially in your morning routine, make sure that you're wearing sunscreen on those areas that are being exposed to the sun, especially the areas that you applied this. I don't use this in the morning. I just use this at night time."

"It's going to exfoliate, it's going to brighten, it can help to smooth out your skin, improve texture, tone, and soften fine lines and wrinkles. There's ceramides in here to prevent transepidermal water loss to strengthen the skin barrier, and there's also peptides. I really love using this on my chest because my chest can develop some texture from time to time. I love using this on the backs of my thighs as I do experience bumps, and I love this for my legs and my arms because sometimes especially in the winter my arms can become quite dry and they can look a little scaly. This is fabulous because it just keeps your skin nice and soft and exfoliated. You get that brightness back with your skin and it's also very moisturizing as well. If you have just freshly shaved your skin and you go and put this on top, you will most likely experience a tingling sensation and that might last for up to 20 seconds or so and then it does subside. I've noticed it more when I have freshly shaved legs, but if you haven't shaved or waxed in a few days you probably won't experience it. I would say start with a couple of times per week and then gradually increase from there just to be safe because it is a powerful product and it works really well."

"I can't live without this. This is something that is wonderful if you're someone that has those bumps on the backs of your thighs, you have that scaliness on your legs or your arms, you have keratosis pilaris, you know, you have fine lines on your chest, maybe discoloration. Like, this is going to target multiple skin concerns that we have with our body. But the only thing with this is that now that we're coming into the warmer months, you really want to make sure that you're wearing sunscreen on the areas that are being exposed to the sun, especially the areas where you're using this because this contains 12% lactic acid. But there are ceramides in here and those ceramides really help to strengthen and repair that skin barrier. There is also peptides in here and that is a great thing to have peptides in with lactic acid because generally if you are using separate serums that's not a recommended pairing to use your AHAs with your peptides but because this is formulated correctly where there's peptides in there with that lactic acid that is why it works so well."
"This is moisturizing and repairing enough to replace your moisturizer in your nighttime routine. And it was very rare that I paired this up with another moisturizer. When you wake up in the morning, your skin just has this glow and it just looks so healthy. I would consider purchasing this again."

HOW TO REPAIR YOUR SKIN BARRIER - BEST SKIN BARRIER REPAIR PRODUCTS FOR HEALTHY, GLOWING SKIN!
"This is a lovely leave on overnight mask. Don't wash this off; use this in replacement of your moisturizer, or if your skin needs that additional moisture, then put a moisturizer on top of this. Sometimes I will do that if my skin needs some TLC, but this on its own is sufficient enough. This could replace your nighttime moisturizer if you really wanted to. This has a lot of great skin repairing ingredients but also humectants: we have hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, aloe, jojoba seed oil, shea butter, ceramides, peptides, chamomile, and lactic acid. Those are just some of the key ingredients that really help to nourish the skin. This is a very thick cream that actually doesn't feel super heavy on the skin, so if you wanted to use this in your morning routine you most likely could."
"This is great if you use a lot of active ingredients like retinol, chemical exfoliants, and your skin barrier is always compromised, it's dry and it's tight. This is a must and this honestly repairs your skin so nicely. This is a leave-on mask you don't want to wash this off. This can actually replace your nighttime moisturizer or you can actually use this with another type of moisturizer if your skin is seriously in some discomfort. Using two can work really well. On its own though, it is very satisfying to use. It is pretty thick but it does spread across the skin really nicely. It's not that heavy on the skin but you do have this glow. It is a little shiny on the skin so this may or may not sit nicely underneath sunscreen if you do decide to use this in your morning routine. It does have ceramides in it, there are some peptides, shea butter, vitamin E, there's aloe, there's chamomile extract, there is oat extract. There's a lot of great ingredients in here to nourish, to soothe the skin, and to repair the skin barrier. This performs really well."

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE NEW DRMTLGY BARRIER REPAIR MASK & RETINOL BODY LOTION | REVIEW/FINAL THOUGHTS!
"The Skin Barrier Repair Mask gives that comfort and relief when your skin needs it and also this is a great product to use every day or a few times per week just as prevention just to help nourish your skin barrier. I've been using this quite a bit and my skin just absolutely loves it. It is on point and I do love this one a lot."
"This can help to rejuvenate the skin and gently exfoliate, so this might be a product that you may love or you might be like me and maybe not love it so much. I'm going to give this a 4.5 out of 10."
"This is a great affordable option for those that want to keep things budget friendly. This is also a great option for those that have sensitive skin or if you're a beginner to the retinol world. It's a great intro product. This has an encapsulated retinol, which means that this has more of a gentle approach, even more gentle than just regular retinol. Anything that is encapsulated will have more of that slower delivery system into the skin, which means it's going to be more gentle for you. I would definitely recommend that if you're a beginner and then as your skin adjusts to the retinol, then move up to something a little bit stronger. But I also like this one because it has hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin, and there's also three essential ceramides to help repair and keep that skin barrier nice and strong. Plus, ceramides help to prevent water loss. So, it keeps the moisture in the skin to keep the skin more comfortable when you're using retinol. And this is a 30 ml size. It's fragrance-free."
"This is a retinaldehyde at 0.11%. I really love this formulation because it is super brightening. There are other ingredients in here that benefit our skin even further. For example, there's niacinamide in here and this ingredient really helps to fade dark spots and post acne marks, but it can also brighten the skin at the same time. Retinaldehyde does that also. So, I feel like this combination really gives that extra kick to your skin to brighten everything up. There's also hyaluronic acid, ceramides, squalane, aloe. There's green tea. There's a lot of great ingredients in here to keep the skin nice and hydrated and nourished. It's a wonderful formula. You're getting 30 mls of product and this is a true serum type of texture. It has this nice milky texture, but again, super lightweight. Very thin, very watery, and this one spreads really nice."
"This is a product that I've always raved about because not only does it have the retinol, it also has vitamin C and peptides so it's going to help firm, address fine lines and wrinkles, it's going to brighten, it's going to improve texture and it's great for those that have acne prone skin as well. It really does it all. All you need is a pea-sized amount to apply to your face and then another pea-sized amount to cover your neck area. I use this on my neck on those off nights where I'm not using tretinoin, and everything is going really good. No irritation, no retinol burn, nothing. It's really a nice one."

This one also has vitamin C and peptides in the formulation and I do feel like it's quite moisturizing as well. Even if you have to start with the sandwich method first then do that, so that means you're going to put a layer of moisturizer first then your retinol then another layer of moisturizer. This is a great technique to do when you're first starting retinol. This is going to give you that barrier and it's just going to provide your skin with more moisture when you're using that retinol and it works really well. This really is a great product to address so many skin concerns like discoloration, fine lines and wrinkles, acne and so much more."

With the retinol, if you're gonna go with the one percent, I feel like it's very gentle. I did not experience any irritation or dryness whatsoever, and I think it's because it's in that squalane base, so it does help to moisturize the skin and keep the skin comfortable. But again, I really don't like that oily feel on my skin. I used to use the ordinary one percent retinol on my neck and chest, and my skin tolerated it well, but I just feel like there are better options out there that have nicer textures and that work quicker."

I also like the way that it layers up with my skincare products. I've never had an issue with pilling, but also I feel like this is a very gentle formulation as well because it's in that squalane base. Of course, we all react differently to retinol, so you should always be cautious, and if you're new to retinol it's best to start with one or two days a week and then gradually increase your usage depending on how your skin is tolerating that product."

"I like this formulation because it's great for beginners it has that encapsulated retinol. Now even though it has that encapsulated retinol it doesn't mean that it's not going to be as effective as another type of retinol that you might find at the drugstore. This is a great intro retinol to start off with to see how your skin does before you move to something stronger but the more consistent you are with it honestly you will see results you will. With retinol it has to turn into retinoic acid so once it's applied to your skin your skin converts the retinol to retinoic acid and it has to go through two steps which is why retinol is more gentle than tretinoin because tretinoin is retinoic acid right off the bat. This one also has hyaluronic acid in it and it has ceramides, ceramides help to strengthen and repair that skin barrier and I really like ceramides in actives like this because it really helps to keep that barrier nice and strong and then of course it does contain niacinamide as well."

"The CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum has to be one of my favorite retinols from the drugstore. This formula is quite gentle in my opinion and it's also very moisturizing. This product has an encapsulated retinol so this is going to be even more gentle. It has hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, ceramides, and licorice root extract. This product will help to improve uneven skin tone, so if you have post-acne marks or dark spots this can be lovely. This is great if you have texture and also signs of aging, and if you're acne prone then retinol can also be great to use as well. I really like the way that this applies to the skin. I do feel like this really is effective as well, especially when you're consistent with it. I've never had an issue with pilling either, and this always sits nicely with all of my skincare products."
"This can be a little bit more irritating than retinol, so if you do have sensitive skin, just start with once a week or once or twice a week, leaving days in between, and then gradually increase from there to see how your skin does. I didn't experience any irritation, no tingling, no nothing. I did use this on my face, but I was also using this on my neck because I use tretinoin on my face but I can't bring it down my neck, so I usually use retinols or products like this that my neck can tolerate. This actually worked really nice on my neck. I didn't have any additional irritation, no retinol burn, no nothing, and I was shocked because I was just waiting for that irritation to happen and it didn't. This has some additional ingredients like niacinamide, ceramides to strengthen that skin barrier. I love when a retinol product has ceramides in it. This also has squalene, hyaluronic acid, and tea extract as well. When you put this on your skin, your skin does feel quite comfortable, and it does have that milky consistency and is yellow in color. If you're looking for something that is a little bit stronger than retinol but one step down from retinoic acid, then I would say give this a try. I really do think this is a great one."
"Tretinoin is wonderful for so many skin concerns so if you are acne prone you have texture you have dark spots and post acne marks you have fine lines and wrinkles this ingredient can really dramatically improve your skin. Consistency is key you need to have patience tretinoin is a journey retinol is a journey as well you want to be patient and consistent because this product doesn't work overnight and the longer you use it the more improvements you see with your skin. Prior to using tretinoin I had a lot of dark spots post acne marks I had texture as well and I was acne prone and since being on tretinoin now for almost four years my skin has dramatically improved the texture and tone is a lot nicer and I don't break out as much. It really is a wonderful ingredient to go on if your skin can tolerate it. This is a very drying and you don't want to apply tretinoin to wet or damp skin and this is really important to know when you're first starting off with tretinoin."
"This is fabulous for those that have uneven skin tone, so if you have a lot of discoloration on your chest, your hands, or anywhere else on your body, you have texture, or if you have fine lines, this is going to be a great product to treat all of these concerns. It contains retinol but it also has a vitamin C derivative, so I do feel like this is quite brightening as well when you're consistent with it. It contains shea butter and evening primrose, so it's also very moisturizing. I've never had an issue with irritation with this, I've never had an issue with dryness. It actually performs well and it just keeps my skin feeling nice and comfortable, but it's also treating my skin at the same time. I like to be consistent with this every night before I go to bed, and it does a very good job to keep everything super soft and texture free. The only thing I will say is that if you decide to use this all over your body, you will go through this pretty quickly since it contains 118 mils of product, so I would recommend just using this on your most troubled areas."
"I was using this all summer. I wanted to start with the lower strength. And now that I know I'm fine with it, honestly, I truly never saw irritation or dryness. I generally use prescription tretinoin but sometimes I do like to use retinaldehyde on nights that I feel like taking a break from tretinoin because tretinoin is retinoic acid which is stronger than this and that one really can cause irritation and dryness. So if you can't get your hands on tretinoin then this is the next best thing because retinaldehyde is one step down from tretinoin but this is one step up from retinol. So this is like the middle of everything. And I really love this formulation. The 0.05% has five peptides, 11 antioxidants, and brighteners, and 7.1%"

It does have that bright yellow hue, which is a really good sign because this means that the formulation is at that high concentration of retinol. With that being said, this could stain your skin, clothing, and fabrics, and this does stain my face and the more I put on my face the more yellow my face gets."
THE ORDINARY RETINOIDS EXPLAINED || HOW TO USE RETINOIDS & CHOOSING THE RIGHT STRENGTH - ANTI-AGING
"Out of the three retinoids that the Ordinary has, this is the one that has performed the best on my skin because it's the strongest and the most effective. It's meant for those that are even more advanced with retinoids, so if you've been using a retinol and a retinoid for a really long time and you're ready for something stronger, this is where you can start. I wouldn't say jump right in and start using this if you're a beginner. I would start with the retinol or the granactive retinoid first and then make your way to the Retinal 0.2% Emulsion so you can eliminate irritation and give your skin time to adjust to that vitamin A. It is in a creamy serum texture which I really like, so I do feel like it's quite moisturizing. It has that bright yellow hue, which is a really good sign because that means this product is at a high concentration of retinal. With that being said, when you put this on your skin you could experience staining, so your skin will look kind of yellow orange."
THE ORDINARY RETINOIDS EXPLAINED || HOW TO USE RETINOIDS & CHOOSING THE RIGHT STRENGTH - ANTI-AGING
"I was using this a lot on my face when I first tried it and I really loved it. It gave a brighter complexion and it really did help to correct texture. It gave that nice soft feel and look to my skin. This can really help to address signs of aging and discoloration. And the more consistent you are with your retinoids, the better off you're going to be."
EXCLUSIVE: THE ORDINARY RETINAL 0.2% EMULSION | THE NEWEST LAUNCH FOR SIGNS OF AGING!
"I'm a little disappointed that it's only 15 mls because if you're using this pretty frequently I feel like we're going to go through this really quickly. A pea-sized amount is all you need to cover your entire face, though you might need a little bit extra for your neck area. Before you apply this, make sure your skin is clean and then put your pea-sized amount onto dry skin. The Ordinary does recommend this, and I agree with them. I apply all of my actives onto dry skin to prevent quick absorption because when I do it this way I do see a reduction in dryness and irritation. Sometimes with the product in general you will see dryness and irritation, but you possibly could see more irritation and dryness if you put it onto damp skin."
IF I COULD ONLY PICK 1 PRODUCT FROM MY FAVORITE SKINCARE BRANDS | THIS WAS REALLY HARD!
"The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is one of the best retinal products I have ever used. The formulation is truly on point and I have seen great results with this. It's at a 0.2% concentration which is pretty high, so if you are a beginner to a retinoid or you've never used a retinol before, I wouldn't say start with this, start with the retinol and then gradually make your way up to the retinal. This is in between tretinoin and retinol. Because I have a lot of experience with actives, I actually find this to be quite gentle. I don't experience any irritation or dryness when I use it. I like to use this on my neck and my chest and sometimes the backs of my hands. This has a very vibrant yellow hue to it, and that is a really good sign because that means this has that high concentration of retinal."
13 BEST ANTI-AGING SKINCARE PRODUCTS 2024 | AGING BACKWARDS OVER 30 - THESE ACTUALLY WORK!
"I have been obsessed with this since the first time I used it. This is The Ordinary's strongest retinoid formulation. This truly is meant for those that are experienced with retinols already. So let's say you've been using a retinol for a while and you would like to graduate to something a little bit stronger, then that's when you'd want to use this. A retinal, so remember there's retinol, retinaldehyde, and then the next step would be prescription tretinoin retinoic acid, so this is in between the two and this is fabulous to soften fine lines and wrinkles, to improve texture and tone. If you're acne prone, this can be a great acne treatment. It's lovely, but it can be strong for some skin types. So if you're new to this or you're a beginner, start with one or two nights per week, leaving days in between, gradually increase from there depending on skin sensitivity. You don't want to start using this every night if you're a beginner because you don't know how your skin is going to react. This can cause some dryness and irritation for some people."
DECIEM SALE 2024 | MUST HAVE PRODUCTS YOU NEED FROM THE ORDINARY, NIOD & LOOPHA - SINCERELY MISS ASH
"The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is one of the best products from the ordinary in terms of targeting signs of aging. This is really effective if you can be consistent with this. With retinal, also known as retinaldehyde, this is stronger than a retinol. So there's retinol, retinaldehyde, and then the next highest strength is prescription tretinoin. So this product is in between retinol and retinoic acid, and so this can be a little drying and irritating for some skin types, especially if you're a beginner and you're new to a retinaldehyde. I would start with once a week, do that for maybe a week or two, and then move up to two times per week, leaving days in between, do that for a couple of weeks, and then gradually increase from there, using moisturizer on top to keep your skin well moisturized. If you can be consistent with this, whether you're using it every single night or just a couple of nights per week, you will see results because retinaldehyde is going to target fine lines and wrinkles, discoloration, improving texture and tone, helping with that brighter complexion. If your acne prone, retinaldehyde can be a great acne treatment. It really is a product that does everything, and the more consistent the better."

"The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is absolutely amazing to soften and fine lines, improve texture, tone for brightness. Great if you're acne prone; retinal dehydride is also great to treat acne and this can really improve your skin all around. I love this. If you're new to retinol and you've never used a retinol before, this might be too powerful. This really is meant for those that are more experienced with retinol. If you're currently using a retinol right now and you want to move up to something a little bit stronger, than retinal dehydride would be the next step. The next step after this would be prescription tretinoin, which is retinoic acid. Once you put retinal dehydride on your skin, your skin only has to go through one conversion."
HOW TO FADE DARK SPOTS QUICKLY - BEST SERUMS & TREATMENTS THAT REALLY WORK!
"I really like The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% Emulsion. This is a retinaldehyde, so this is actually one step down from tretinoin but one step up from retinol, so this would be the next best thing if you can't get your hands on tretinoin. This can still cause irritation and dryness, so start with one or two days a week and gradually increase from there. Use these products at nighttime, especially because they can be light sensitive, so if you use this during the day that sunlight will just degrade it and it just won't be effective."
NEXT LEVEL ANTI-AGING SERUM - THE ORDINARY RETINAL 0.2% EMULSION REVIEW!
"The Ordinary did a very good job with the texture and formulation in terms of how it spreads across the skin and how moisturizing it feels. I really do feel like this is quite gentle, but remember I am somebody who has been a retinoid user for over four years and before that I was using products like retinol, so my skin has had some experience with actives, which is probably why my skin isn't reacting to this. This is more for those experienced with retinoids. If you're new to a retinoid or retinol, I would start with a retinol first and then graduate to this after, starting slow and gradually increasing depending on how your skin adjusts to it. Since using this, my skin feels a lot smoother. I haven't noticed anything dramatic because I haven't been using this for too long, but overall I really like this formulation."
NEXT LEVEL ANTI-AGING SERUM - THE ORDINARY RETINAL 0.2% EMULSION REVIEW!
"I haven't experienced any dryness or flakiness or redness or that compromised skin barrier. There were times where I would wake up in the morning and my skin would be a little tight, especially around the mouth area, but it wasn't dry or flaky and my skin didn't feel uncomfortable. I actually really like this formulation. It's really moisturizing and it actually has some conditioning ingredients as well as the synthetic oat analogues that will really help to soothe and calm your skin while you're using this. If you're new to this, I would say start with once a week and then gradually increase from there depending on how your skin does. If you've been a retinoid user for several years or even several months, then I feel like you could probably use this more than just once a week to start with. When I was testing this, I was bringing this down my neck and my chest because my neck can be very sensitive to active ingredients and retinoids, and I was shocked because my neck wasn't irritated, which is surprising because generally my neck gets really red and inflamed."
NEXT LEVEL ANTI-AGING SERUM - THE ORDINARY RETINAL 0.2% EMULSION REVIEW!
"It spreads really nicely, enough to cover my entire face, but when I was putting this down my neck I did have to put a little bit extra on my hand to bring that down my neck and a little bit on my chest, so you might need to apply maybe a pump and a half, two pumps. It really just depends on how much you want to apply and where you want to apply it. But with this being a 15 mil size, which I know is a bummer, I was really taken back when I saw the size of this. A 15 mil size is a great size to test out the product to see if your skin would tolerate well to it, maybe perfect for travel, but if you're using this every single day or multiple times a week we're going to go through this really quickly. Most of the products from The Ordinary are all 30 mil sizes, especially their serums, so I don't know why they came out with a 15 mil size. I hope that they come out with a larger size eventually because that would be really nice for those that would like to be very consistent without having to repurchase as often."
NEXT LEVEL ANTI-AGING SERUM - THE ORDINARY RETINAL 0.2% EMULSION REVIEW!
"It's at a pretty high strength but the coloring just isn't quite there. I would maybe question that product a little bit because having that bright yellow just means that it's at that high concentration. The Ordinary mentioned that this can stain your skin, it can stain clothing, fabric, towels, they are correct. This does stain your skin. It has that nice texture where it does spread really nicely, but the very first time that I used this I saw that initial staining. Once I applied everything to my skin and I'm looking in the mirror, I thought wow, I look really tan. It made my skin a little bit orange, it kind of gave that tan look, and I mean it looked decent, but it can stain your skin, especially if you're fair like myself. If you have deeper skin than I do perhaps you won't see the staining on your skin, but it can stain your towels and your clothing if you're not careful. When I woke up in the morning and I washed my face, that staining went away, so it wasn't a permanent thing from what I noticed on my skin. It does wash off. You also want to use this at nighttime. Make sure that you don't use this with other types of actives like a vitamin C, a glycolic or lactic acid, with another type of retinal or retinol or prescription tretinoin."

"If you want something a little bit stronger than a retinol, then I would recommend The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion, which is an encapsulated retinal. This is one step up from retinol but one step down from tretinoin, also known as retinoic acid. This is great but not necessarily meant for beginners; this is more for experienced users. This can cause irritation and dryness, so be cautious with it."
EXCLUSIVE: THE ORDINARY SACCHAROMYCES FERMENT 30% MILKY TONER REVIEW || A NON-ACID EXFOLIATING TONER
"When I was using this I was pairing it up with everything and anything so I was using this in the same routine as tret, niacinamide, copper peptides, and on the nights that I was using some type of direct acid on my skin. I didn't experience any additional irritation, nothing. This has just been super gentle, extremely hydrating, and I feel like it pairs up nicely with everything that I have used with it. I also really like how this shines through my sunscreen and my makeup because it just gives my skin that beautiful glow and radiance. If you have dry skin, honestly you're going to love it, but even if you have oily, acne, combo skin you're going to love it too. It is still really nice for all skin types. Overall I am very impressed with this. I love that it has that milky consistency, it just feels so comforting on the skin. It is super hydrating and it does give your skin this beautiful radiance. We have that fermented niacinamide that helps with that uneven skin tone."

TOP 5 ANTI-AGING SKINCARE PRODUCTS THAT DELIVER RAPID RESULTS - SKINCARE I'VE TESTED THAT TRULY WORK
"This is truly one of the best retinaldehydes I have ever used. This is one step down from tretinoin but one step up from retinol. This is meant for those that have experience with retinoids, so if you're a beginner I would recommend to start with a retinol first and then make your way up to this in time. This is quite powerful, especially for those that are newer to a retinaldehyde. Because I've been using tretinoin for several years, I find this to be quite gentle on my skin, but again we are all different. This 0.2% is going to improve texture, tone, fine lines, and wrinkles. It can help with acne, a brighter complexion, and it can help to stimulate new collagen. This truly does it all and this is best used in your nighttime routine. You can use this every day, but if you're new to this I would start with one or two days a week and then gradually increase from there. This works really quickly. I saw almost an immediate softness and smoothness with my skin. Yes, it brightened my skin within a couple of days as well. And then of course the more consistent you are, this can improve texture, soft and fine lines and all of that good stuff."

So if you're looking for an affordable retinol, then I would say get this one from The Ordinary."
MY SECRET TO REDUCING FINE LINES AND WRINKLES WITHOUT INJECTABLES - BEAUTY PRODUCTS THAT DELIVER!
"This only has to go through one conversion once it's applied to your skin for your skin to convert the retinol to retinoic acid, which is what is going to change our skin and improve it, especially with texture and tone, fine lines, and wrinkles. It can be great for acne-prone skin as well. It's definitely going to improve fine lines and wrinkles and it's going to prevent fine lines and wrinkles, especially if you can be consistent with it. When I first started off with retinol, I only started off with once or twice a week, and I did that for several weeks until my skin adjusted, and then I gradually increased my usage from there. I would definitely recommend doing that with this also. Even with an over-the-counter retinol, especially if you're a beginner, we all react differently to retinoids, so start slow and gradually increase, but the more consistent you can be the better. You want to make sure that you use a pea-sized amount. You don't need any more product than that, and you want to use these at night time, especially because retinol can be light sensitive. If you're using this in the morning and you go outside, that sunlight can actually degrade the retinol, which means it's not going to be as effective on the skin. If you can use your retinoid at least twice a week and you can be consistent with that, then that will help to improve your skin."
MY NIGHTTIME ANTI-AGING SKINCARE ROUTINE - P.M. SUMMER SKINCARE ROUTINE USING TRETINOIN
"I really love this for the face. If you can't get your hands on prescription tretinoin, this is amazing for the face because remember this is one step down from tretinoin. This can be very irritating for those that are beginners. This is truly better for those that are more experienced users with retinoids but it can cause a little dryness, a little bit of irritation. I personally have never seen it because my skin is just so used to using tretinoin, which is stronger, that I feel like this is very gentle. One pump will give you a true pea-sized amount. This is very yellow in color, which is a good thing because that means that this is at a high concentration of retinol. The yellowness just gives that initial staining but it doesn't actually stain your skin, so tomorrow morning once I rinse off my skin that yellowness is no longer there. It's just that initial application, so make sure that your skin is dry before you go to sleep for the night or wear colored clothes because it could possibly stain."
TOP 7 BEST PERFORMING ORDINARY SKINCARE PRODUCTS - THE ULTIMATE GUIDE FOR ANTI-AGING "REAL RESULTS"
"This is their strongest retinoid with everything that they have in their retinoid collection. This is the strongest because this is a retinaldehyde. If you're using a retinol right now and you're really not seeing a difference and you would like to increase the strength of it then I would say go with this one. The 0.2% is the only strength that they have currently right now. It can cause some dryness and irritation for some people. If you're new to the retinoid world and you're a beginner, I wouldn't say start with this. This is really for experienced users. But if you really wanted to start with this, then start with one night per week and then gradually increase your usage depending on how your skin tolerates to it. This is best used at night time only. And this can be used with growth factors."

MASTERING TRETINOIN! 8 PRO TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL TRETINOIN JOURNEY || SINCERELY MISS ASH
"The Ordinary's Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is their newest launch and their strongest retinoid that they have now in their collection. This is an encapsulated retinal, and it's important to know that you want to use your retinal in your nighttime routine because retinal is light sensitive, so these actually degrade in natural daylight. If you use this in your morning routine and you're going outside and your face is being exposed to natural daylight, then the light is going to degrade the retinal, which means it's not going to be effective on your skin. It's very light sensitive, so keep your retinoids for your nighttime routine. It's also important to know not to pair your retinoid with other types of active ingredients."
RESULTS GUARANTEED! 7 ANTI-AGING PRODUCTS TO MINIMIZE FINE LINES & WRINKLES || THESE ACTUALLY WORK!
"I don't necessarily use this 7 days a week, I might use it 5 days a week, maybe 6, maybe 4, it just depends on how my skin feels at that time and what I feel like using. But this is really, really nice. I have really achieved that brighter complexion with this. This product makes my skin super soft, and my neck can actually tolerate this as well. I've been using this pretty much every night on my neck area and I absolutely love it. I feel like I'm already seeing results with my neck where everything just looks more soft and smooth, and some of the fine lines that I have on my neck don't look as noticeable. This honestly works really well on my neck, and I really like the results that I have been seeing on my face as well. If you're someone that can't use tretinoin or can't get your hands on prescription tretinoin, then I would say try this, because this is one step down from tretinoin retinoic acid but one step up from retinol. This is an encapsulated retinal, so with retinal, once you apply this to your skin, your skin only has to make that one conversion to retinoic acid. If you're using a retinol, then your skin has to go through two conversions."

"It did make it brighter, it did help with texture, it did help to reduce oil. This is very hydrating, very gentle. It's not sticky or tacky. I was basically using this with everything so I did pair this up with other actives at night time, copper peptides, regular peptides. I did use this with vitamin C. There were no issues, everything layered up really nicely. I didn't have any peeling and I actually quite liked it because it is very very lightweight on the skin."
3 AMAZING ANTI-AGING PRODUCTS TO TACKLE NECK LINES, LOSS OF FIRMNESS, DRYNESS AND MORE!
"I like this the most because I do find this to be quite gentle, I find this to be moisturizing and also really effective. I've been using this on my neck since they launched this early this year. Before using this I was using the Polish Choice 1% retinol on my neck. Because I am somebody that uses tretinoin on my face, I can sometimes use it on my neck maybe two to three times per week, but if I wanted to be really consistent with something then this is one of my go-tos in terms of a retinol product. Retinal is also known as retinaldehyde, so it's one step up from retinol but one step down from retinoic acid, being your prescription tretinoin. If you want to start using something like this on your neck I would take it slow."
IS IT OVER FOR TRETINOIN? WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON? SHARING ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS TO USE INSTEAD!
"The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is an encapsulated retinal derivative that has a slower delivery system into the skin and is also going to penetrate deeper into the skin as well. This is going to improve texture and tone, it can help with fine lines and wrinkles, and it can also help with acne at the same time. This is a product that you would want to use at night time, and you might want to start with one or two days a week, leaving days in between, and then gradually increase from there, just to see how your skin tolerates the ingredient. You're going to experience less dryness and irritation if you start slow and then gradually increase from there. This is an affordable option, but it is at a 15 ml size so this could be a product that you may go through really quickly."
"This is the Giorgio Armani liquid eyeshadow, shade 25, which I believe is cashew. And this is my favorite for the crease and for the outer area of my eye. I really love liquid eyeshadows, especially this, because they are very longwearing, but also you're not getting that powdery look on the lid as well. If you're someone that has wrinkly lids, sometimes when you go and add powder, it can kind of accentuate that a little bit. So liquid eyeshadows or cream eyeshadows are nice to use because it kind of disguises that a little bit and it just brings in more moisture in that eye area. I like this a lot because it's very longwearing and it doesn't crease. Even though this is a liquid eyeshadow, it does not crease. Once you blend it in, you're good until you wash it off at night time. It stays in place no matter what, even without makeup setting spray or powder to lock it in. The formulation truly is beautiful. There's lots of shades to pick from. This is a matte shade, but there's also some sparkly options as well."
"I really do like this mascara. And I will say it is longwearing. It doesn't crumble to the lower lash line and I never get smudges and it doesn't give me raccoon eyes at all. It is a lengthening and lifting mascara that sculpts, separates lashes with the unique curved comblike applicator. It definitely gives you length and separation. And I really like the applicator. It basically has the same shape as our eyes. So when you're using it, it really is perfect to get that nice lift and application. When you apply it, the thinner end in the inner corner of the eye combs the lashes so nicely. It doesn't apply clumpiness to the lashes. When you comb this through your lashes, it just coats the lashes evenly. It gives that nice separation and lift. And it just looks more natural looking as well."
"It just becomes kind of gluey and gummy on the lashes. You still get a beautiful effect. It's just more difficult to remove at the end of the day. But I've been reaching for this on weekends when I don't feel like wearing mascara. It's a really nice mascara replacement for those that don't enjoy mascara or you're going to be near water, you're going to be playing sports, you don't want to wear mascara, then this would be a great alternative. And it actually performs really well. I'm quite impressed with how long it stays on the lashes. It keeps that curl for the entire day and it looks very natural and gives that clean girl look."

"It took some time and I had to really work at those lashes and get that product off. It took a while to get it off. So now I just do one good coat and I don't have problems removing this at the end of the day. And I actually really like the way that it looks on the lashes as well. So it's not something that I use often, but it is a good one to use on weekends when I'm running errands and I don't feel like wearing makeup. And I think this will be great for the summer when you know you're going to be active, you're going to be near water, but you don't want to deal with raccoon eyes. But besides that, I feel like there are better products out there if you want something that is more of that conditioner and something to help grow the lashes. There are better options out there. But not bad for what the product is. I'm going to give this a 7 out of 10."

"I'm loving the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze gel. I had a feeling that I would like it but I wasn't sure if I was going to love it more than the brow freeze wax that comes in that little pot that I always use but this one actually works just as good as the brow freeze in that pot. This is a lot easier and quicker to use. Your brows stay in place all day, they don't get crunchy, they don't flake halfway through the day. Your brows look amazing all day long, all night long, and they don't move at all. You can create that lamination look with this if you're into that, but if you're more into that feather look, something that looks a little bit more natural, you can achieve it with this as well, which is my typical go-to. I love that feathery look and I've been loving this. This is really good. I've been quite impressed."
"I'm just going to curl my lashes with my Shiseido Chaseedo Lash Curler. This is honestly the best I've ever used. It works really well.

So I will just curl my lashes like this and I'm good to go."
"I just absolutely love this palette so much. It was honestly the best palette that Urban Decay ever released in my opinion.

My favorite shade is the Ice Sparkle, which is like a silver, and I really love to use this in the inner corner of my eye and also underneath the brow bone for that little pop. You can use any of these all over the lid, it just depends on what eye look you're going for."
"This is the Master Mattes Neutrals Palette by Makeup by Mario, and this is honestly the only eyeshadow palette you would really ever need. It has all those neutral shades in here, they're all matte shades as well, and it doesn't matter what color your eyes are, anybody can use and wear these shades. You can create so many different smokey eye looks. A lot of the times I will use these darker shades for my liner and I will use them as that winged out look so that they look a little bit more softer. I do like eyeliner pencils and whatnot, but if you want more of that softer look, start using some of your darker shadows and start creating your winged out look that way. It just looks more softer and a little bit more natural in my opinion. But I love this palette. I've been using it a lot. This has literally been my go-to."
"I like this product because it is so easy to use. You don't even have to push on your skin to dispense the product. It has this really nice formulation that it just applies to your skin so nicely without having to really push on the skin to get that color. I used to use the Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pencil which I still do like, but I felt like with that product I had to push pretty decently on my skin to get the color and I didn't exactly like that. So this is really nice and it stays on your brows for the entire day. It does come in multiple shades, but the oak seems to be the best shade for me personally. It's like a light brown."
"I did experience less shedding with my lashes and my lashes felt and looked healthier, they were more conditioned as well. I did have a little bit of length with my 90-day update but nothing dramatic. It didn't really create much length and volume like I was hoping for. But I also developed a lot of irritation with my eyes. I was experiencing red eye, cloudy vision especially if I put too much on that lash line, and my eyes were feeling very heavy and they felt tired as well. My mom was testing the serum at the same time and experiencing the same thing where her eyes felt tired and heavy. As soon as we both stopped using it, our eyes never felt like that again. I had a new tube ready to go after my 90-day update and decided to not continue with it because I didn't like the way my eyes looked and felt."

"With that serum I did experience less shedding with my lashes and my lashes felt and looked healthier, they were more conditioned as well. I did have a little bit of length with my 90-day update but nothing dramatic. It didn't really create much length and volume like I was hoping for. But I also developed a lot of irritation with my eyes. I was experiencing red eye, I had that cloudy vision, especially if I put too much on that lash line, and my eyes were feeling very heavy and they felt tired as well. My eyes just looked smaller because they were just so irritated. As soon as I stopped using it, my eyes never felt like that again. I decided to not continue with it."

"I also have an empty Ordinary Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow Serum. I did share a couple of videos on this already last year with some before and afters, and I did say to you guys that I was going to try this again on my eyebrows. To be honest with you, I honestly feel like this doesn't work on my brows. It really doesn't. I didn't see anything different with my brows. I do have a little bit of sparseness in the thicker part of my brow, and I honestly didn't see any new hair growth. This is supposed to create more of that denser, fuller look, and I didn't see that with the brows. So this was a flop for me."
THE ORDINARY LASH & BROW SERUM DIDN’T WORK FOR ME SO LET’S PUT THE REVIVLASH TO THE TEST!
"I didn't exactly have the best experience with The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow Serum as I found that my eyes were becoming quite irritated. Everything was great at the beginning but the longer I used it and the more consistent I was with it I was developing this really tired heavy feel with my eyes and also I would get a cloudy vision as well. So my eyes were basically telling me something they were saying okay stop using this because we don't like it. So I stopped using that product."
"The Ilia Limitless Lash Mascara is a Holy Grail, I absolutely love this mascara. I like the brush head and I really like the way that it applies mascara. It just gives that nice separation, that fanned out look, but it also gives that great length as well. No raccoon eyes and it's really easy to remove at the end of the day. This one will give you more of that natural look, but if you want your lashes to look like you have mascara on them then this is the one to go with. This one is my Holy Grail and this never disappoints."
"This is a facial mist that I have been using and talking about for years. I have seen great results with this facial mist in particular and I feel like it's one of the best on the market. There's a lot of facial mist that will just hydrate your skin, but this one does more than just that. This has a lot of antioxidants in it and antioxidants protect the skin. It's also going to be brightening, something that's going to hydrate and also reduce the look of facial redness. This is also going to be a great anti-aging serum to prevent fine lines. It is wonderful. This is one of the first things that I am repurchasing because I use this after cleansing but before my serums and I feel weird skipping a facial mist in my routines now. I use this every day twice a day."

BEST NIGHTTIME SKINCARE ROUTINE FOR ANTI-AGING, HYDRATION & HYPERPIGMENTATION OVER 30
"After cleansing, the first skin care product is NIOD Superoxide Dismutase Saccharide Mist. You guys know how much I love this. I've been using this for so many years and I use it every day twice a day. This is truly one of the nicest facial mist I've ever used because there's a lot of antioxidants in it to help protect and shield your skin from pollution. This is great to use in your morning, but also there's ingredients in here to help reduce the look of facial redness and this really does help to reduce on that rosiness. It hydrates the skin, it preps your skin for your serums. It's just one of the best facial mist ever and I love a good facial mist, but I only use facial mist that have anti-aging ingredients in it that actually do something for the skin, especially the concerns that I have with my skin and this does not break me out. It's fabulous. This is also fragrance free and I pair this up with literally everything, any skin care product. There is no conflicts whatsoever. And I really feel like this does a good job to add additional hydration."

This is great for all year round, but especially come summer because I'm going to be outside a lot more, I'll probably gravitate towards this one a lot more, like late spring into early fall. This is also going to prep your skin for your serums. It also hydrates the skin. There's a lot of ingredients in here to target and prevent signs of aging. And yes, it can help to reduce the look of facial redness as well. This one's going to be better in protecting your skin from pollution, and pollution degrades collagen, so that is what causes fine lines and wrinkles, hollowing of the skin."

"I use it every day, twice a day, and I have been for a couple of years now. This always needs to be in my collection. I incorporate this a lot in both my morning and nighttime skincare routines because I love the performance of this facial mist. It really is a unique facial mist that I really haven't seen anywhere else. Superoxide dismutase is an ingredient that is found naturally in the body and then as we age that natural superoxide dismutase degrades with age as well. So this is the body's way of protecting the skin from pollution from everyday stressors and helping to keep the collagen in our skin and keeping the youth of our skin. I like to use something with that ingredient topically to help protect the skin even more. This has a lot of antioxidants in it that will protect your skin from everyday pollution. This is also a great formula for those that have redness, that have a compromised skin barrier. It really does a good job to reduce redness. It calms the barrier. It provides a lot of hydration. It's great for everyday twice a day after cleansing but before the application of serums. I really love it a lot. I see a big difference with this facial mist."

So it's user friendly and I was actually never able to find a duplicate to this. This really is one of a kind which is why I kept using it and recommending it. The new enzyme mist is even more advanced and more aggressive to protect the skin from everyday pollution. It has new antioxidant technologies that really help to keep the collagen and elastin that we currently have and from getting worse. The superoxide dismutase in it is something our body naturally has as its way of protecting our skin from pollution, and as we age, that natural superoxide dismutase degrades. So it's nice to use something topically that has that ingredient to help protect and shield our skin so that we can keep the youth of our skin and keep as much collagen and elastin as possible."

This is very impressive and it really does help to calm redness as well. I love it."

But even though we're basically spring now going into summer, I'm still going to use this because milky essences like this always keep my skin nice and balanced and hydrated whether I need it or not. It's just one product that I love to have in my routine at all times. So, if you love milky essences, I think that you might really like this. Super lightweight. It's not sticky or tacky. It's fragrance-free. And you can pair it up with anything like copper peptides, your retinol product. You can use this with so many things and it never disappoints."
"The Tower 28 Daily Rescue Facial Spray contains hypochlororous acid, an ingredient that I start using during late spring into early fall because this does a really good job to prevent breakouts.

This is something that you can also use throughout the day on top of makeup, on top of sunscreen. It's also very hydrating. It's antimicrobial. It's anti-inflammatory, and it is absolutely fabulous for all skin types. You don't have to be acne prone to use this, but if you are acne prone, this is a lifesaver."

It's actually quite hydrating on the skin. It doesn't irritate the skin whatsoever. And this is actually a great product to use to repair your skin. Let's say you just had a sunburn. Maybe you just had a scrape or a cut on your arm or your hand. Wherever it is, spray this in those areas to promote healing. This is great to use post treatment of micro needling or inoff lasers. If you're acne prone, give this a try. This will help to prevent breakouts.

THE POWER OF HYPOCHLOROUS ACID IN SKINCARE - UNLOCK FLAWLESS SKIN WITH THIS POWERFUL INGREDIENT
"Hypochlorous acid is not drying in the least. It doesn't make my skin feel tight or depleted of hydration. It keeps my skin feeling like my skin but of course you're just adding that nice layer to disinfect and keep your skin nice and clean. Hypochlorous acid also has anti-inflammatory properties to it as well, so if you're someone with redness, you have eczema, psoriasis, or your skin barrier is compromised and you're dealing with a lot of irritation, then hypochlorous acid can help to calm and soothe the skin and reduce inflammation. If you're someone that gets in-office laser treatments or chemical peels and you have scrapes, wounds, or cuts, then hypochlorous acid can help to speed up healing time and keep the skin nice and comfortable at the same time. Hypochlorous acid can also be a very hydrating ingredient. It doesn't dry out my skin whatsoever. It doesn't make my skin feel tight. It really does hydrate and keep the skin very comfortable."

Since I am acne prone, especially in the summer months, I need something to kill off bacteria and to keep the skin clear and free of any bacteria which can harbor into acne. I really like it. I have to take back something I said a couple years ago because I really do feel like it does help to reduce redness. It doesn't eliminate the redness from my experience, but it does help to reduce it a little bit. I'm more so using this for the antibacterial properties because I am acne prone. If you're acne prone, I would try using this and see if it works. I think this is great, especially for the summer months. It is hydrating and it does a good job to keep the skin clear and free of bacteria."

It's anti-microbial. I do have a backup already which I will be using next. If you do like the Tower 28 brand, this one is lovely. There are several size options to choose from as well. This one that I have here is the 120 mil size and I absolutely love it. I'm more consistent with this during summer and fall and more so spring. In the winter I haven't been using this as much but I still like to occasionally use it, especially if I'm noticing that my skin is starting to break out or maybe my facial redness is a little bit more prominent. Then I will start incorporating hypochlorous acid."

Hypocchloric acid has a lot of benefits to it like it's antimicrobial. It's anti-inflammatory. It's also very hydrating as well. It does not dry out the skin. It doesn't strip the skin. It honestly is a very hydrating ingredient. So, this is great even if you have dry skin. If you have a compromised skin barrier, this is going to speed up that wound healing process and also amazing for acne prone skin, which is why I am currently using this because hypocchloric acid honestly does wonders if you're someone that has breakouts. You're constantly developing acne. It's great for all things like I said. If you develop backne, get somebody to spray it on your back. It makes a world of a difference when you are acne prone."
"The Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is a wonderful essence to provide your skin with hydration, with that plumper look and something that helps to prevent transepidermal water loss. If you're struggling with dryness, you have tightness, or you just love that plumper, hydrated look to the skin, then you're going to love this. I don't find that this necessarily repairs my skin barrier. I don't really feel like it reduces the look of redness and this definitely doesn't brighten from my experience with this, but this is more for that plumper, juicier complexion and something that keeps your skin plump and hydrated for the entire day or for the entire night. It has that unique texture where it looks slimy, but when you apply it to your skin, it just feels like hyaluronic acid to me. Eventually, it dries down. Your skin isn't left sticky and tacky. It actually dries down quite nice. Yes, you might have a subtle glow to your skin. I've never had an issue with peeling. This can be used everyday, twice a day."
"It's thin and lightweight but also very hydrating. It has glycerin and other types of humectants in here as well. The ingredient list is very short and sweet. It's more of that essence that is just straight to the point. It's great for that prepping process, for hydration, and that's really it. I feel like the other essences do a little bit more for our skin. But if you're not really looking for all that and you're just looking for the basics, like for hydrating and prepping, then this is a great addition to incorporate. It's quite affordable as well. There is no fragrance. You're getting 100 mls of product. I just put five or six drops into the palm of my hand and apply it to my face that way, and then I have to go right in with my serums afterwards because this dries up so quickly. You have to work really fast with this. If you want to apply your serums and products onto this while this is still damp on your face, go right in. Don't waste any time. Your skin will feel so hydrated, more hydrated if you can apply everything on top of this while this is still damp on your skin. The Ordinary also says that this can be brightening. I honestly haven't found that. I don't feel like this brightens my skin at all. If you truly want that brightening effect, that glow, and you want to fade dark spots, post acne marks, this may not be the product for you."

2 MONTH UPDATE! I TESTED THE ORDINARY MULTI-ACTIVE DELIVERY ESSENCE AND HERE'S THE VERDICT!
"I love it. I do recommend this. I think that they did a really good job with this formulation. Essences in general will all help to allow your skincare products to absorb better into your skin. This is a lovely one. And I really do think that it's going to be something that can benefit a lot of people."
"This product has provitamin B5, panthenol, chamomile, and ceramides. I've really been enjoying this for those days where my skin is feeling a little tight, it's lacking hydration, maybe my skin is a little bit more rosy and compromised. This product has truly saved my skin. The way that this makes my skin feel is incredible. I just have this moisture barrier. It's not greasy or sticky. It doesn't have a scent to it. It keeps your skin barrier in check. If you love Farmacy or you're looking for a really nice essence that is milky and hydrating and nourishing, this is a must try."
"I have an empty Neon Superoxide Dismutase Saccharide Mist. If you've been with me for a while, you know how much I love this. I use this literally every day twice a day. One of the best facial mists I have ever used. It's also one of a kind. I haven't found anything like it in terms of the ingredients. This contains a lot of different types of antioxidants, so this is going to protect our skin from pollution. It will brighten up our skin as well, treat signs of aging. It can help to hydrate and prep your skin for your serums, but also if you have any type of redness to your skin, this really does help to reduce the rosiness. If I feel like my skin is more sensitive, this really helps to calm my skin barrier at the same time. I do have one going already in my bathroom. I have another one as a backup in my linen closet. I cannot be without this. This really is a Holy Grail. I highly recommend it."

MY NIGHTTIME ANTI-AGING SKINCARE ROUTINE | P.M. SUMMER SKINCARE ROUTINE | OVER 30
"This is my favorite thing to use on a daily. I use this in my morning routine. This preps your skin for your serums, it hydrates it, helps to reduce redness, but also this has a lot of antioxidants in it so great for signs of aging. I put a decent amount all over my face and my neck and then I just lightly tap that into the skin."
"There is a two percent salicylic acid which will help with acne breakouts, texture, rough bumpiness. There's tea tree oil and witch hazel, so this trio combination of ingredients will help fight acne but also help to calm and soothe the skin at the same time. I feel like this does work, this really does. I have developed a few breakouts already since using this and this really helped to clear those up pretty quickly. But also this would just be great to use on a daily as a preventative, so if you know you experience a lot of body acne during the summer months, start now and be consistent with this and use this every day once a day. Or of course you can just use it when you develop it. But again, it is so quick and easy to use, especially for my chest area."
"There's also silk amino acids in here, glutathione. These are antioxidants that can help to protect your skin from pollution as well. So, I really like this, especially for my morning routine. But, if you wanted to use this twice a day, you can. And there's no conflict. You can use this with anything. So, use this after cleansing, but before an essence, and before your serums and moisturizer and sunscreen. But, this is 10 out of 10, and I highly recommend this."

"This is the One/Size Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray. This will truly give you glassy, dewy, glowy skin.

This is going to give you glassy, dewy skin, but it doesn't give you greasy, sweaty looking skin. I really love having that glow and that dewiness to my skin, especially when I am drier, when my skin is a little bit flakier, then this is my go-to. If you do have flaky skin and after you've applied your makeup, you're starting to see it come through and your skin's starting to lift a little bit, this would be great to use on those days when you're flaky because I feel like this just melts the flake back into the skin and it just blends into your normal skin and then your skin looks fresh and skin-like again. This really helps to melt that flake back where it's flush on the skin and it's not noticeable."

THESE BEAUTY PRODUCTS EARNED A SPOT IN MY ROUTINE - SKINCARE & MAKEUP THAT DELIVERED!
"I just love the complexion that it gives. If I'm wearing just a tinted sunscreen with a little bit of blush and bronzer, I will still put this on top because it just makes my skin look so healthy and glowy and very glass-like, but without looking sweaty and greasy. It's well worth the money. It's 10 out of 10. It really does keep your full face of makeup in place for the entire day and all night until you wash your face at the end of the night. This is way better in my opinion than the original matte. But of course, if you love matte skin, then this would not be it."
"This is the sulfur 10% powder to cream concentrate. It is really really good. Very unique and again there is no sulfur rotten egg smell with this. You want to use this prior to your moisturizer or prior to let's say retinol or before sunscreen because again it's powder that turns into a cream and you want that laid down first before a thicker occlusive product on top like a moisturizer or something. Great if you just have some rosiness to your skin as well."
"I'm really impressed with this. I like how lightweight it is. It doesn't make my skin feel dry or look dry. I'm actually shocked that I haven't tried this sooner. The shade cupcake has a beiginess to it with a little bit of a hint of rosiness, but it's more beige than rosy. I don't find this too brightening in the least. It's like the perfect amount of brightness, and it just blends right into my skin. It's bringing back that luminosity and that skin-like finish, and I'm also getting the longevity with my makeup as well along with the powder."
"Since I've been really flaky and dry, I decided to pick this up. And actually, this works pretty good. If my skin is really flaky and I want things to lay flat on the skin when I am wearing foundation and makeup, then this is a great product to use prior to your tinted product. Your makeup just grips so nicely on top of this. This is really affordable. I don't overdo it with this product, I just use a little bit. I tried this all over the face one time, and then the second time I just used it in those drier areas like around my mouth, my chin, and maybe in between my brows, and my makeup applied really nicely like that as well. So it's probably better to apply this all over the face for an even application, but I did use this as a spot application and my foundation and makeup still looked really good."
"This is one of my go-tos. I absolutely love the setting powder because it doesn't dry out your skin where your skin looks lifeless. It does its job with setting your makeup, setting your under eyes, getting rid of some of that shine, but it still allows your skin to shine through and giving more of that natural complexion. I have a lot of setting powders in my collection and ones that I've used over the years that matt out your skin completely, but then your skin just feels really dry and tight afterwards and then you look at yourself in the mirror and your skin just looks lifeless. It looks worse than what it did prior. I'm not for setting powders like that. This actually keeps your skin looking skin-like. It gives that longevity with your makeup and it does a good job to diminish shine. I just have to use this once and that's it. I'm good for the day. This does an excellent job."

NEW YEAR🎉 NEW SKINCARE & MAKEUP FAVORITES | I AM OBSESSED WITH THESE PRODUCTS!
"I've been quite impressed with the Makeup by Mario Surreal Skin Soft Blur Setting Powder. This blurs like a dream. I use this a lot underneath my eyes, I might occasionally set my chin if it's looking a little shiny, and I might do this around my nose area, but this for the under eyes is perfect. This does help to brighten because I have it in the shade one which is fair pink, so that pink undertone really does give that little brightness which I personally love for the under eyes. It's very longwearing. Once I set my under eyes, I don't have to set them again for the rest of the day or night."
"I much prefer to use other makeup primers from other brands, even though these are much cheaper and more affordable. The formulation just isn't quite there in my opinion, especially if you're someone that wears a lot of makeup and you're looking for that makeup primer. I just don't feel like these are it. But I will say I really did like this primer more than the high adherence silicone primer because this one is in a serum type of texture, more lightweight. It was hydrating. It never peeled with my skincare products or with my makeup. This formula also has silicone in it as well and it's supposed to give that soft smooth canvas prior to your makeup, allowing your makeup to have that longevity. The last time that I used this was like five or six years ago, so it's been a really long time. I truly cannot remember if I had that longevity with my makeup, but I can tell you that it did sit nicely on top of skincare and underneath makeup. If I had to recommend one or the other, I would recommend this one over the high adherence silicone primer because it just has that lighter texture."
"I never liked this product. It always pilled with my skincare products and sometimes it did peel with certain makeup formulations that I applied on top of it. Once I applied all of my skincare products and then I applied that primer before my makeup, peeling everything just started balling off my skin because it has that silicone base. I am somebody that is not willing to eliminate a skincare routine just to use a makeup primer. This product just always pilled, it was very inconsistent, and I had to eliminate my skincare routine for this to work with my makeup, which I wasn't willing to do."
"I've been using this on and off for several years, it's a staple in my makeup collection. It really does help to keep your makeup in place for the entire day or for the entire night. It's not something that I use every day, but if I am going somewhere special or I need my makeup to stay in place, especially now that we're coming into the summer months and we're going to be experiencing that humidity again, it's nice to use something like this just to keep your makeup in place. This one is alcohol-free, and it's just a staple and it's been around for a really long time. If you're looking for a good makeup setting spray, I would say try this one."
"The one that I have found that has worked the best so far is by Charlotte Tilbury and this is the Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray. This really does work and this keeps your makeup in place for the entire day. I am somebody that likes to use a lot of liquid cream types of products so cream blushes cream bronzers liquid foundations even liquid blushes and when I use products like this and when I don't use a setting spray sometimes my makeup can separate halfway through the day and it can do that more so during the summer so that's why I like using this and this keeps everything in place and I never have to worry. This isn't going to give you matte looking skin but it will mattify your skin a little bit so I think that's why this allows my makeup to stay in place all day because I have makeup setting sprays that provide that additional luminosity and glow and dewiness to the skin and although those are beautiful I don't feel like they perform well to keep your makeup in place. Products like this that kind of dry down a little bit more matte they do."

It really is a nice nourishing, hydrating, repairing lip serum that also exfoliates at the same time. This is one of my favorites. I haven't used anything like this before. This is the only thing that I will put on my lips to exfoliate. I love the results so much that I wanted to see if this would perform in other areas.

"The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum, I've been loving this and this is truly 10 out of 10. The first ingredient is glycerin, so this product is pretty much glycerin which is very hydrating and plumping because it's a humectant. It really keeps the lips nice and hydrated and plump, and that is really why I love this so much because of how plump my lips go. I don't really have dry lips, but this is just a product that ensures the lips remain soft and smooth. I hate lip scrubs because they're very scratchy and I feel like they do more harm than good. This is so gentle with the 5% PHA, and then there is 1.5% AHA in here as well, which helps to further exfoliate the lips. I think this is really gentle. I use this one or two nights per week, sometimes more often, but this is really nice."

"This really is a beautiful lip serum that has a lot of great ingredients in it to nourish, to deeply hydrate and plump the lips, but also most importantly to exfoliate and keep the lips nice and smooth and soft. I was actually quite impressed with this. I noticed results within one use. By the next morning, I woke up, my lips felt so soft. It really does give this nice softer, smoother look to your lips. I had a little bit of dryness in the corner of my mouth from other actives I was using, and within 2 days, that dryness that I had in the corner of my mouth was completely gone."
PLUMPER LIPS WITHOUT FILLER - THE ORDINARY PHA 5% EXFOLIATING LIP SERUM UPDATE & FINAL THOUGHTS!
"This is a lip serum that gives a little plump to the lips from my experience. My lips actually looked more full as soon as I applied it to my lips. I noticed that my lips just looked more full when it was sitting on my lips for a good 20 minutes or so. This is a lip serum that contains a high amount of glycerin. Glycerin is actually the first ingredient in the ingredient list and glycerin is a humectant and humectants are known to plump the skin and give that deep hydration to the skin. We have the 5% PHA which is polyhydroxy acids which are very gentle on the skin. They have a larger molecule so they just give more of that gentle exfoliation. And there's a few AHAs in here as well, but AHAs that are more gentle that contain a larger molecule."

There's ectoin in here, a lot of great humectants to keep those deep layers nice and hydrated. I just love the fullness that I get with my lips. It's a gentle exfoliant that most people can use on a regular basis to keep the lips nice and soft and exfoliated. If you have more sensitive skin, maybe start with one or two nights per week and then increase from there depending on how you feel. It is so affordable. Half a drop is all you need. This is going to last a really long time."
THE ORDINARY & NIOD SALE 2025 | TOP 17 ANTI-AGING PRODUCTS + THE PRODUCTS THAT ALWAYS SELL OUT!
"This is fabulous. This is great for all skin types. It has a 5% PHA, which is polyhydroxy acids, which are way more gentle than lactic, glycolic, salicylic acid. They have a larger molecule, so it takes longer to penetrate into the lip before it starts exfoliating. But this truly gives the softest, smoothest lips ever. It is very hydrating. The first ingredient is glycerin. So, I find this to be extremely hydrating and very, very plumping. This is a product that is best used at nighttime on clean, dry lips as the last step in your skincare routine. And you can use this a few nights per week or every other night. If your skin is good with this product, you could use this every night if you want to. And this actually performs really well. I'm actually really impressed with this. So, if you want a good exfoliating lip serum that also hydrates and keeps the lips looking its best, this is a really nice one to look into. And I think this is going to be great for the winter months."

I actually feel like this might be a trending product that will go viral that will sell out really quickly. There really isn't anything like this on the market in terms of an exfoliating lip serum.

"I actually really like this product from Coco Kind. This is the Ceramide Lip Blur Balm. There's no fragrance. It's not sticky or tacky. Your hair does not stick to your lips, which is a great thing. And I like this because we have the ceramides there to help prevent moisture loss, to help repair the skin, but also there's peptides in here as well, which I think is still very important to have for the lips, no different than the rest of our face. So, I love products like this that contain those anti-aging ingredients. And you can also put this on top of lip liner, on top of matte lipstick. You can do whatever you like. And it's a great option if you're looking for something that is affordable, but something that also just keeps the lips nice and moisturized."
"The Polish Choice Pro Collagen Peptide Gloss Balm is very moisturizing and gives the lips that nice plumpness, but because it contains peptides it can also treat lip lines. It does have a little bit of a sweet vanilla scent to it and a very sheer tint, honestly I don't see anything when I apply it to my lips, it's just clear basically. I like to apply this several times throughout the day and also before bed. It's a nice product to use on top of lipsticks and lip liners, and it just gives that nice juicy plump look. Within a couple of minutes you do feel that little plumpness to your lips. It doesn't have a tingling sensation or anything, but all the ingredients just mesh well together and it plumps up the skin on your lips. I absolutely love it."

So I'm a big fan of this, I really like it."
"The Ordinary Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm is very moisturizing, great to repair dry lips and also great to prevent dryness. It really gives that nice plump to the lips and I really like it. I use this all the time, I use this before bed sometimes and it's wonderful. You just spin off the top and squeeze the little tube and apply it."

"This is really beautiful for the lips. It really keeps the lips nice and comfortable and it's not greasy, it's not sticky. My hair never sticks to my lips. So the formulation really is like a nice balm. It feels very silky when it's on your lips as well, and it's absolutely beautiful."
8 ANTI-AGING SKINCARE PRODUCTS I'M LOVING FOR 2024 | FACIAL MISTS & MORE | Sincerely Miss Ash
"I've really been enjoying the new Ordinary Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm. I really love this. I love squalane because it's super hydrating, but amino acids is also very hydrating as well, and this prevents transepidermal water loss, so this doesn't give you the urge to reapply all the time just to keep your lips nice and moisturized and comfortable. Honestly, you could just use this once or twice a day and that is it and your lips feel amazing. I like to use this in the morning, especially before bed, maybe once during the day if I'm not wearing anything tinted on my lips. This is a dream. You can also use this on your cuticles and underneath your eyes. It really helps to keep that moisture in the skin, preventing transepidermal water loss, but also it's just so moisturizing as well. I think it's amazing."
MY NIGHTTIME ANTI-AGING SKINCARE ROUTINE - P.M. SUMMER SKINCARE ROUTINE USING TRETINOIN
"Squalane is very hydrating but so are amino acids and this can help to repair the lips but also it can help to keep your lips nice and moisturized and hydrated for a long period of time. There's no fragrance, there's no harsh ingredients in here that would make you have to reapply this all the time as that lip balm addiction. This really repairs and heals your lips really quickly but then for maintenance it just keeps your lips nice and moisturized. There's also a little bit of a plumping effect with this as well and there's no sensation or ingredient in here that plumps up the lips per se but the squalane and the amino acids naturally give that fullness to the lips. You can put this on top of lipsticks, you can put this on top of lip liners to add that shine and that comfort, but they say you can also apply this to your cuticles and sometimes I use this underneath my eyes as that eye cream, that eye bomb. I absolutely love it and I highly recommend it."
"I am obsessed with this. I love products like this that are tinted because generally these types of balms contain anti-aging ingredients to treat the lips and we should be treating our lips no differently than our face and our rest of our body. Our lips can develop fine lines and wrinkles, we can lose that fullness as we get older, so we should be treating the lips on an everyday basis and multiple times a day as well. This contains three procollagen peptides: palmitoyl tripeptide 1, palmitoyl tripeptide 38, and tripeptide 1. All of these peptides are going to help improve texture, it's going to help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, plumping up the lips, giving that fullness, but this can also help to prevent further fine lines that can develop as we get older. This also has a light vanilla scent to it, very mild."

"After one use your lips do look more full, they do look more juicy, and it's very hydrating. If you do have dry lips currently, I do find that this does help to correct that damaged skin barrier. It helps to heal your lips and it also helps to prevent dry lips as well. It has that thickness to it, it's not that sticky. It's very moisturizing and it does give that nice fullness and juiciness to the lips. A little goes a long way."
BENEFITS OF PRO-COLLAGEN PEPTIDES | BOOST COLLAGEN AND COMBAT SIGNS OF AGING WITH PAULA'S CHOICE
"It has that thickness to it, it's not that sticky. There might be a little bit of a stickiness to it but it's not to the point where your hair is going to stick to your lips. It's very moisturizing and it does give that nice fullness and juiciness to the lips. I do love putting this on top of other tinted lip products or sometimes I will just use a lip liner, outline my lips, fill my lips in, and then put something like this on top to enhance that lip liner color but then also getting that nice shine and juiciness from this while my lips are being treated with the procollagen peptides. I love to use this multiple different ways but especially before bed, especially during the day when I'm not really doing much. I just put it on and it's wonderful. I really love it."

"This one is definitely milder in my opinion so I know we're all different if you can't do fragrance stay away from this but this is going to address lip lines lip wrinkles it's going to plump it's going to hydrate and nourish the lips and it does a very very good job it also gives that shine that juicy look to your lips and I like to use this before going to bed sometimes during the day if I don't feel like wearing anything tinted but you can even put this on top of a matte lipstick or a lip liner and it's really nice and the more consistent you are with this I find the better and I love products like this because they generally contain anti-aging ingredients and I find that it's really important to be treating the lips no differently than the face and the body so if you love Paula's Choice then you should try this this is really nice."
"I use the Aquaphor Lip Repair a lot and I really like this, it does the job well. I put a little layer at night time, a little layer in the morning, sometimes during the day if I feel like I don't want to use a tinted lip balm or like a lipstick I will use this and it does the job well. It's affordable, you can get this at the drugstore, you can use this all over the body, but it's amazing for the lips."
"They feel really moisturized and for $17 Canadian I feel like that is a pretty good price. You are getting 10 mls of product, this is going to last a fairly long time, and it has anti-aging ingredients in it. This contains peptides and some butters. Yes, I like it. I feel like this would be something that I would purchase again and I do feel like this is going to be excellent for fall and winter."
"Allies of Skin has a really nice one. This is called the Peptide and Ceramide Repair Lip Balm. So, there's ceramides, there's peptides, there's vitamin E, there's sea buckthorn, there's sunflower seed oil, there's avocado oil. There's a lot of great ingredients in here. And it is really nourishing. It actually feels really nice on the lips. It's not greasy or sticky and it really does a good job to repair the lips. And I think this is going to be great for the winter."
"I hated the smell so I had to spray my entire body with cologne because I didn't want to have to hop back in the shower and restart the process again. Besides the scent of this, I think the formula is really nice and moisturizing, but yeah I just can't with the scent."
"This was nice but I didn't love it. I feel like there's better out there in terms of strength. I found this to be very gentle, which is great if you have sensitive skin, but if you are looking for something at a higher strength, something that is a little bit more aggressive to target sagging and wrinkles, discoloration, stretch marks, all that stuff, I just don't think this is the best option. For me personally, the only thing that I noticed was that my skin was a lot softer and smoother, so it does help to address texture and it is very moisturizing, but besides that I really didn't see anything else. Maybe you'd have to go through like three of these before you see results. I'm not going to be repurchasing right now, but if you are looking for something that is quite strong and powerful, I wouldn't say that this is it."
"This is a hand cream that actually performs especially when your hands are very dry and flaky. I like this one because it contains 30% glycerin and 4% niacinamide. Niacinamide is great for moisture loss, it really helps to keep that moisture in the skin, great for dryness, but also if you have discoloration on the tops of your hands, niacinamide can help to brighten that up. But the glycerin in here is really going to repair your hands and it does a very good job. If you're someone that wears retinol on the tops of your hands or tretinoin, I do that quite a bit especially with tretinoin, and sometimes my hands can become a little drier, so this would be a great product to use on top of retinol or on top of tretinoin to keep your hands even more moisturized. This one really does work."
"I really like using this on my neck and my chest but I mainly keep this for my chest when I get out of the shower I bring this down my arms and I really focus this on my elbows my knees my legs so this can be used every single day. I like it because it has a 0.05% retinol it has ceramides and shea butter and I think that this is a really nice moisturizing product that just keeps your skin looking radiant and looking super healthy. It has that nice thickness to it but it's still thin enough where it spreads really nicely so a little bit goes a long way. I really like how nicely it spreads it's fragrance-free as well so if you need that fragrance free option then this of course is it but it leaves your skin feeling really nice."
"It's a thinner textured serum, so for proper layering you'd want to put this on first, before niacinamide and then a body lotion or body cream. I really do like this. During my time testing this I didn't have any breakouts on my chest or on my body, but it did a really good job to smooth out everything on my chest and I was really pleased with that. You can use this every day, or if you choose to use this twice a day you could do that as well. I would probably start with once a day and see how it goes. This is very thin and watery and it does spread nicely. It does not dry down sticky or tacky. When this absorbs into your skin, your skin just feels like your skin. I wouldn't say that it's moisturizing, it just dries down, so you will need to put a lotion or something on top if you're wanting to lock in hydration. But overall I think this is going to benefit a lot of people. It's fragrance free."
"This does a really good job even on the feet, and if you have a lot of creepiness on your elbows or your knees this is another fabulous product just to treat those areas. This can really help to firm the skin with continuous use. It has kept my skin nice and comfortable and nice and moisturized. I really haven't seen too much of a difference in terms of the fine lines that I have but it really has helped with the tone of my skin. I also love that cocoa butter, the squalene and the vitamin E because these are just additional ingredients that are going to keep the skin nice and comfortable. It's a true lotion so it's not too runny but it's also not too thick either. A little bit goes a long way especially if you're just treating your neck and your chest area, and it spreads nice and absorbs quickly. It gives your skin that nice moisture feel and my sunscreen has sat nicely on top of this as well."
"I think this is going to be better come spring and summer. If you're someone with a lot of dry skin, you may or may not feel like this is moisturizing enough, so you may want to use this as that first product and then put something else on top of it to add more moisture if you need it. I think it's a decent product. I don't feel like it's a flop. I just wish it was a little bit stronger with retinol and a little bit more moisturizing. I do feel like this is something that's going to take time to work, or you might be somebody that might see improvements right away. I like it, but I don't love it."
"I really like how lightweight it is. It's like a light to medium coverage. You can build this up to a full coverage for sure, but I'm more of a medium coverage type of person. I really like this because there's a lot of skincare ingredients in this. I love makeup that has skin care in it because makeup is left on the skin for quite a while, right? Eight hours or more. So it's nice to have something that has skin care in it since it's going to be left on the skin for a long duration. And this has a lot of great ingredients in it for signs of aging. I find this to be very comfortable on the skin. It's not drying. It's not overly greasy or shiny. Honestly, it just makes your skin feel like your skin. It makes it look like your skin as well. And I really like how realistic and skin-like this foundation formula is. The shade range is quite large as well. All I need is a couple of pumps."

"The texture is really nice. Really, really nice. And it's supposed to give like a natural glowy finish to the skin. So I'm really excited to try this. It just blends in really nicely. It has a really nice formulation. It's super lightweight. And with this product, there's a lot of skincare ingredients in it, which is another reason why I really wanted to try it."
"This is one of my favorite foundations as of right now. This is my go-to. This is what I've been using every day non-stop since I bought it. If you have a similar skin tone as I do, then L4N might be a great option. There is a very good shade range, and there's also some warm undertones, and of course, pink undertones as well."
"It is quite nice. It does have fragrance though -- it is pretty fragranced, so if you can't do that, you will most likely want to pass on this. There are two sizes: the larger is 30ml and the smaller is 18ml. I went with the larger size because I thought if I like it, I have the bigger size to move on with. I'm actually quite impressed with this. It's really nice, I actually quite like it, and it's very lightweight."
"I absolutely love my IT Cosmetics CC Cream. This is my favorite. I've been using this for at least 6 years and it's always my go-to. It covers up redness and blemishes so nicely. You can achieve a full coverage look with this, but you can also achieve a light to medium coverage depending on how much you are applying and what you're using. If you use a damp beauty blender you're going to achieve more of that lighter finish, but if you're using a makeup brush like a foundation brush you're going to get more of that medium to full coverage. This is also an SPF 50 all mineral and there's also great skincare ingredients in here as well. This never ever disappoints."

"I love the IT Cosmetics CC creams. I've been using these for years and I have two types of formulations here. The original formula will give your skin that skinlike finish, and this is the illumination formulation which will give more of that illuminosity, more of that glow that reflectant to the skin. Yes, there is a little bit of a shimmer in the formula, but I promise you, you're not super sparkly. It's just when that sun hits your skin it just reflects and it just adds more of that glow to the skin, which I really love. These have an SPF 50 and all of these contain a titanium dioxide of 9% and a zinc oxide of 6.3%. I love these because if you do have redness, this formula does a good job to eliminate the redness and it really helps to even out your skin tone. This has the thickest formulation out of everything, where you would be able to achieve a full coverage look if that is what you want to do."

"This formula really is beautiful, it is weightless, it doesn't even feel like you have foundation on your skin. If you're looking for a foundation that doesn't feel heavy, that doesn't look makeup-y, you can build this up to a full coverage, and of course you can sheer this out to a light coverage if you're using a damp beauty sponge. I do like to use a makeup brush, like a foundation brush, because this is very liquidy so a damp sponge will just absorb all of that foundation. If you are looking for that medium to full coverage you're not going to get that with a sponge, so I would recommend using this with a makeup foundation brush especially if you want more of that medium to full coverage. This also provides your skin with that natural finish so it truly just looks like your skin, which I absolutely love in a foundation. You can also achieve that glowy, dewy complexion depending on how you prep your skin beforehand."

"The Laura Mercier Flawless Foundation gives that nice lightweight feel on the skin. It's a medium coverage but you can build it up and you can sheer it out and it really does give this natural look to the skin. The formula is a little bit more liquidy, so when I'm using this I like to use a foundation brush because I feel like if you're using a damp sponge the sponge will absorb this product. It's best to apply this with a brush if you can. This is honestly very beautiful and it gives that skin-like finish so it's not mattifying but it's also not glowy and luminous, it's just your skin. It has a nice long wear time as well and it is waterproof."
"It does give a little bit of that dewy complexion so it's definitely not matte and it's not skin-like, it is a little bit more dewy than that skin-like finish. Surprisingly this lasts pretty much the entire day, my makeup stays in place, it doesn't separate, and it just looks like my skin for the entire day. I really love it. This is lovely and it has skincare ingredients as well. There is peptides in here, there's also Cactus extract which will help to soothe and soften the skin but it also provides the skin with antioxidant support, and there is ceramides in here which helps to prevent transepidermal water loss so it keeps your skin hydrated for the entire day and it can also help to strengthen your skin barrier at the same time. I love when makeup products contain skincare ingredients especially when a foundation type of product or like a skin tint, because you're using majority of that on your face more so than let's say a blush or a bronzer. This is what's covering your entire face."
"The Makeup by Mario Soft Sculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer is a beautiful jelly type of textured product. It's a creamy bronzer that I love and I still love it. I still use it.

"This is an all-over bomb that you can use to color correct, you can use this as your foundation basically, but I use this as my bronzer and it's that nice creamy bomb texture that allows your skin to look like your skin. Usually when I wear a powdered bronzer for example you can tell that my skin has that powdery look. This keeps your skin looking like your skin and it just looks like you've been outside and the sun has sun-kissed your skin. It looks very natural. It wears for a long time as well. It does give that nice little subtle dewiness to the skin as well. I do like to pair this with liquid or cream based blushes as it just all ties in with one another with that same type of finish and that's how I get that nice glow and dew to my skin. I have this in light medium. I did once pick up the light and I just found it was too light for my skin tone, especially to use it as a bronzer. For a bronzer I like the light medium the best."

"This is the Makeup by Mario Soft Sculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer. I personally use this as a bronzer because I love creamy bronzers that have that balmy texture to it because it just gives more of that skin-like look when it's on your skin and it gives more of that dewy complexion as well, which I really do like. I love that glowing complexion. It just melts into your skin and it just looks like your skin is naturally bronzed from the sun. But you don't have to use this as a bronzer, you can actually use this as an all over color for that complexion product. There are different shades available. It's very lightweight."
"It's the perfect in between shades of warmth and cool. It doesn't look muddy on my skin. It doesn't look too warm and orangey. This is actually one of the nicest shades of bronzer that I have in my collection. It's my second favorite, and I have been using it a lot. I really do like the applicator. It's just so easy to apply all over the face."
"I love the Rhode Pocket Blushes. I have two shades here. I do plan on picking up another shade or two. I was thinking of Piggy, which is that baby pink shade in the collection. I have Tan Line, which gives like that natural sunburnt look to the skin. There's a little bit of that brown undertone, but you still have some of that pinky red tone in there as well, which I think looks beautiful on so many skin tones. And I also have in the shade Sparkle. And this has a pearlescent in it. It's not super sparkly. Honestly, if you're someone that loves to wear highlighter, you still could because there really isn't a lot of shimmer in here. Like, I really don't see it when I have it on my skin. But I really love these two shades. They're longwearing. I love cream and liquid blushes. I only wear cream and liquid. I don't even resort to powder blushes anymore because I just feel like cream and liquid just melt into the skin. It looks more natural and realistic, more skin-like, and I much prefer that than powder. So, if you love cream blushes and you haven't tried the Rhode Pocket Blushes yet, I really do recommend it."
"Right now I actually have the Rare Beauty one on this is in the shade Joy which is a coral peachy shade which I love for spring and summer. I was using this in the winter though, using this more so in the winter in the shade Chili which is a nice cool tone pink mauvey shade. They're so pigmented that all you need is one little tap on your cheek and then you might be blending for a while because that's how pigmented they are, but again you're getting your money's worth and they're going to last a really long time. Once it's on your skin that longevity is there as well and my cheeks will look like this until I wash my face at night time."
"This is the neck contouring serum, their newest launch. This is a neck serum designed to help with sagging skin. It's going to tighten with consistency, but also it's going to help with those horizontal lines that majority of us have now or will have at some point. This is supposed to help soften those horizontal lines but also to tighten the skin over time. I love the applicator so this has a medical grade applicator. It has that cooling sensation. You just bring it up right underneath the jawline, you bring it down, of course you can bring it on top of your chest if you really wanted to."
"This is the worst dry shampoo I have ever used. It puts this weird heavy film on my hair and it just makes my hair look lifeless. It looks dirtier than what it was prior. I've had this for a long time and I couldn't completely finish it. It just never worked for me. Maybe this would be suited for those that have thicker, coarser hair. I have pretty fine hair and maybe this is just not for my hair type. So, if you're thinking of this, I would say pass."
"I've been using the Current Body Laser Hair Removal Device and I've actually been quite consistent with this since I want to say July, and I have noticed a difference in my hair. It's not completely gone. It's probably not as powerful and as effective as an in-office laser hair treatment right, this is at home so it's not going to be as strong, but if you can be patient and use this consistently, you know a few times per week, this can work and I am noticing it underneath my arms. You can use this on your bikini, your legs, your arms, you can use it anywhere. If you're looking for a good at-home laser hair removal device, this one from Current Body is worth looking into. It is expensive. It is a little heavy, it's a little bulky, but I do find this to be quite effective, and if you want to be patient then something like this can work."
"This is literally the best clarifying shampoo I have ever used. I have used many different clarifying shampoos in the past and they have all made my hair look and feel like straw. I really hate when my hair looks and feels crunchy because the clarifying shampoo just literally stripped all of the goodness out of my hair. When you have blonde hair or lightened hair your hair can be on the drier side already, so some clarifying shampoos can make your hair feel and look worse. This one does not. This is incredible. I use this about once or twice a month, you could use it more often than that especially if you're someone that really has that oily scalp or you're using a lot of products and you get that buildup in your hair. Every time I use this I have that bounce to my hair again, my hair has that shine as well, and my hair just looks so fresh after I've clarified my hair."
"This conditioner will protect against UV damage, pollution, and heat styling tools while helping soften, detangle, and enhance shine. It's great for all hair textures and hair types. It has sweet almond oil, jojoba seed oil, ceramide, vitamin E, and the peptides that K18 is known for. I've had such a great experience with K18 because their shampoos and hair mask work really well on my fine hair. My hair is never limp, it's not lifeless, it's not weighted down. My hair always feels and looks clean and I have that bounce and shine to my hair as well, so I'm definitely going to pick this up."
"I recently started using the CurrentBody LED Hair Regrowth Helmet, and this is my year of hair growth and I really want to see if I can grow more hair, denser, fuller hair, growing hair in areas that are a little bit more sparse. I've been very consistent with it. Sometimes I use this with the mask and the neck and deck all at the same time. It's a 10-minute treatment. Sometimes I feel like it's a bit too much, so I use this at night time when I'm watching TV. It's just something that I like to do at night time more so than in my morning routine. You just turn it on, sit there, do what you want to do, and it turns off in 10 minutes. This works at different wavelengths to help stimulate the hair follicles."

Of course, this is an investment. It is something to be consistent with and to have patience with. But I'm sure once we start to see those amazing results, none of us will want to stop using this."

"I do like the Vital Proteins collagen peptides, but it just keeps going up in price. I go through this pretty much once a month and it's only 28 servings, so it just becomes really costly. The last time I checked it was around $75 or something like that, and I thought I remember when that used to be like $50. It has the additional amino acids, it's unflavored, it's grass-fed, it's bovine, and I take one scoop every morning in my coffee. It's a great way to add collagen into your everyday diet, great for skin, hair, and nails, and you can put this in a smoothie, a tea, water, you can put this in anything really and it's lovely. I really do like this."

"This formulation contains six procollagen peptides. It's quite pricey, around $80 Canadian and $59 American. I really enjoyed this serum when I was using it. There is a little bit of a scent to it from what I can remember because there is an ingredient in it called pyrus molus, which is basically a fruit extract, but it was very very mild. There's no added fragrance to the serum. It comes in a 20 mil size. This type of serum can be used with tretinoin, can be used with retinol, other types of peptide serums, copper peptides. I remember using this serum with those types of ingredients and everything went well, no peeling. It's a serum that isn't sticky or greasy. It's also very lightweight and all you would really need is like four drops for your face and maybe like two drops for your neck."

"This is a great moisturizer that will help to stimulate new collagen improving skin elasticity and just rejuvenating the skin. This has a lightweight gel cream texture that will complement all skin types so even if you're at your oiliest or at your driest, I have combination skin and generally during the winter I do like to resort to moisturizers that are thicker and more rich, but believe it or not this has actually been enough on its own, obviously paired up with serums and facial mist to keep my skin nice and comfortable. I've really enjoyed this more so in my morning routine because I love how this plumps up my skin and gives that youthful bounce. This formulation contains three pro-collagen peptides: acetyl hexapeptide 5, oligopeptide 1, and tri peptide 1.

It's not greasy and it's not sticky, it's just that perfect lightweight moisturizer that does what it's supposed to do. It plumps, it temporarily gives that nice bounce to the skin, and it does hydrate your skin as well. With consistency, I can see this being a product that can help to firm and tighten the skin and prevent fine lines and wrinkles. Your skin does absorb this really quickly, and it sits nicely on top of other serums and facial mist. It sits great on top of tretinoin, which is generally a cream-based product. It has that nice glycerin feel and just makes your skin feel so comfortable."
"This contains six procollagen peptides which helps to firm the skin and stimulate new collagen. It also has amino acids as well as hyaluronic acid, so this is going to plump and hydrate and maintain a healthy skin barrier. You can use this in the morning or at night every day, twice a day. This was a serum that I would pair up with tretinoin occasionally or retinol. You can pair up your peptides with those and I really do like it. Three to four drops would cover your entire face and your neck, so this would probably last me about a month if I were to use this every day twice a day.

This one would be best suited for those that have that sensitive skin type. It's nice to use something like this on a weekly basis because not only are you going to see improvements with your skin, but it's going to allow your other skincare products to work better because we will not have that layer of dead skin in the way.

"You use it as a toner, your essence, and before your serums and moisturizer, and you don't have to really worry about having that extra product on your skin because it's just a pad that is damp and it just absorbs into the skin so nicely. If you're someone that doesn't like to layer too many products in your skincare routine where your skin feels a little heavy, then this would be a really great option. I love these so much, they're really effective. I get this instant brightness to my skin and I don't experience irritation with this one either. They do say it's great for sensitive skin, but remember if you have sensitive skin glycolic and lactic can be a little sensitizing, so just be careful. Start slow, gradually increase. You can use this in your morning or in your evening once a day. I wouldn't use this twice a day, and once or twice a week can honestly be sufficient enough as well. It just depends on what you want to do. They are fragrance-free and I just really love them. They're just so easy and quick to use."

"I love this for exfoliation. This is my favorite because it is so gentle and you can use this every day twice a day if you wish to. So this will keep the results going. You can be more consistent with this because this is not an alpha hydroxy acid. It's also not a beta hydroxy acid or a polyhydroxy acid. This is a yeast ferment technology that helps to exfoliate the skin. Plus, there is a 3% NAG in here which is N acetyl glucosamine. And this ingredient also helps to exfoliate the surface of the skin and helps to brighten up the skin as well improving texture. So, if you have dullness, post acne marks, discoloration, this is great to use on an everyday basis."
"It is very lightweight. But if you were to apply a lot of this because maybe you have dark circles and you have some discoloration to cover up, then I would probably recommend applying a translucent powder just to prevent any type of creasing. You can try doing it without just to see, but for longevity I always like to powder up underneath my eyes and maybe any blemish areas. This is beautiful. Honestly, this is really, really nice. So if you're looking for a skin-like concealer, I would say try the Patrick Ta Major Skin Soft Blur Brightening Concealer. I do have this underneath my eyes today."

8 BEST NEW SKINCARE & MAKEUP PRODUCTS I'VE TESTED 2026 - (NEW LAUNCHES AND RECENT FINDS)
"It really is hydrating. It gives a skin-like finish underneath the eyes. It gives a nice refreshed look. I love something that is very skin-like, that just looks like my skin. And even if I do apply a little bit more than what I typically do, it still looks very skin-like. It is buildable, so if you do have dark circles or some discoloration, you could build it up to full coverage, and then set it with some translucent powder for longevity or to tone down some of the shine. I did purchase Light Neutral One. I thought about picking up a shade darker, but this is actually good for right now -- maybe come summer I might need to go a little bit deeper. I have used it to conceal different areas on my face after applying foundation, and it blends really nicely and it doesn't look like I'm wearing concealer at all. If you're looking for a new concealer, something that is very natural and skin-like, this is one to look into."

"I'm going to be using this underneath my eyes, of course, and then anywhere else where I need to add additional coverage. And it just blends in just as nice as that foundation. It feels the same. It has a really nice formulation. It's super lightweight. And with these two products, there's a lot of skincare ingredients in them, which is another reason why I really wanted to try these."
"I really love the Tower 28 concealer. This provides a medium coverage but you can build it up to a full coverage if you need to. It's lightweight. It has a lot of great skin care ingredients like hyaluronic acid, Centella Asiatica, and I love how hydrating this is. So, this is one of my go-to concealers for underneath my eyes because of the amount of hydration that it provides my skin. It doesn't make my under eyes look dry and crepey, and it's very longwearing. I just really love the natural skin-like finish that this provides the skin. And this will cover up redness pretty well, blemishes. It covers up a lot of imperfections quite nicely. And like I said, it's longwearing and I really love how lightweight this is. It has never broken me out, it doesn't clog my pores, and it just feels so nice on the skin."

BEAUTY PRODUCTS THAT ARE REALLY IMPRESSIVE | 100% RESULTS!
"This is a very impressive formulation because it's very thin and lightweight but also very hydrating and when you have this on your skin whether it's underneath your eyes or sections of your face it just looks like your skin it's very natural looking and I'm a big fan of a formulation like that I want my skin to look as natural as possible. I use the lighter one for my under eyes and I use the darker one to conceal any blemishes or discoloration that perhaps my foundation didn't cover if I'm having a no makeup day but I still want to conceal certain sections. I do put a little bit of translucent powder underneath my eyes when I'm using the lighter shade just to give more of that longevity I do tend to crease a little bit underneath my eyes but if I'm concealing parts of my face I don't put translucent powder on those areas as I feel like I don't need to because that longevity is there and again it just looks like your skin so this is a very natural youthful concealer in my opinion."
"I have been using this non-stop since November and I think that this is the perfect concealer if you're looking for something that looks natural on the skin and that also feels weightless as well. I am very picky when it comes to concealers especially ones that I apply to my under eyes. I don't like anything that is too thick that is too heavy or maybe even too full coverage because sometimes they can look very bad. I think you will really like this because again it is very thin and lightweight but it's buildable. This will give you a true medium coverage but of course you can build it up to a full coverage and of course you can sheer it out as well if you want something that is more light coverage. This does cover up discoloration in the inner corner of my eye where I do have some pinky purpley tones really nicely. I do set this with a translucent powder as I always do when I am wearing concealer just to prolong the wear because sometimes I do get a little bit of creasing underneath my eyes and this wears even longer."
"I have used the NuFace Trinity. I have talked about it a lot in the past, but this is way better because I see quicker results with this. The results last longer with this one and also it's smaller, it's more lightweight and it's just so much easier and quicker to use also."

MY MORNING ANTI-AGING SKINCARE ROUTINE - A.M. SUMMER SKINCARE ROUTINE USING VITAMIN C
"This is really nice and when you first start using this you want to use this daily and then once you've been doing that daily for quite a while then you can drop it down and just do a few times per week as maintenance. I like this better and I think this performs a lot better as well. This is smaller, it's not as heavy, it's more compact, you can easily travel with this, and it doesn't take as long to use. This one is a quicker treatment and I just really love the lift and how your face looks contoured after the treatment has been completed. This is also a device that I feel keeps the results going longer, so after you've done your treatment I feel like the results last for about a day or so and then of course you would have to use it again to keep the results going. This is something that you have to be consistent with, especially at the beginning, but then once you get using it for a good length of time then two to three times per week really is sufficient enough and it really gives that nice lift to the skin and your skin just looks overall more rejuvenated. This is microcurrent, so it's like giving your facial muscles a little workout. It stimulates blood flow as well and you have to use this with a conducting gel."

"I used to use the NuFace Trinity. I still have it, I just don't use it anymore because I think this is a lot better. The results last longer with this in between treatments, and this is a lot smaller, lighter, and more compact. It's also quicker to use as well."
"The Ziip Halo Microcurrent Device really is a great one to lift, contour your skin and to firm your skin in time. I do like this one better than the new face Trinity. I have the one that comes with the interchangeable heads. This is smaller, it's more compact, it's lighter if you travel a lot. This one provides longer lasting results and that's why I really like this one. This has the nanocurrent technology that works at a cellular level and microcurrent works at a muscular level. With consistency of using this, it honestly does lift, contour and firm the skin and it can help to improve blood circulation, it can help to soften fine lines and wrinkles. It does it all."

"The Ziip Halo microcurrent device is really nice. When you first start using this you want to use this daily and then once you've been doing that daily for quite a while then you can drop it down and just do a few times per week as maintenance. This is basically very similar to the other face microcurrent device that I used to talk about all the time on my channel. I like this better and I think this performs a lot better as well from my experience with the two. This is smaller, it's not as heavy, it's more compact, you can easily travel with this, and it doesn't take as long to use this one as well.

"I like it better because it's smaller, it's just easier and quicker to use and I really really like this. So a couple of days a week I will use this and once you're done, honestly you have this nice lifted effect with your skin and it will last for the entire day, which is why I like using this in my morning routine because it just gives that nice lifted look. You look more awake and your skin looks more rejuvenated. As well as the microcurrent helps with blood circulation as well, which also can help with collagen production."

"It's a 4-minute treatment that you do once a day so it doesn't even take long to do. Use it in the morning or use it at night time. There is an app that you can download as well which is free and it gives you different ways and techniques on how to use it. This really does work. I'm telling you this is way better than the new face Trinity especially from my experience and I love it and I use it a few times per week and I just love my experience every single time. It does come with a small little gel in the box but I would recommend picking up another gel in a larger size because this is a must to use with the microcurrent for it to actually work. Use this on clean skin and then of course go in with your skin care afterwards."
"This is a microcurrent device that will help to lift and contour your facial muscles. It gives more of a youthful lifted appearance to the skin the more consistent you are with it. The first thing that you will see when you first start using this is more of that lifted effect. The results do last a decent length of time. If you are a beginner and you're just starting out, you want to be a little bit more consistent at the very beginning to keep the results going, and then eventually those results will remain there. Then you can go further in between each treatment, so you might only want to use it twice a week or three days a week instead of every single day. It really does give more of that lifted effect to the skin. It just contours everything. This really performs and the results are unreal."

All 6 takes on Halo Microcurrent Device
BEST ANTI-AGING EYE PRODUCTS THAT TIGHTEN, LIFT, REDUCE PUFFINESS, DARK CIRCLES AND MORE!
"I use this at least three or four times per week in my morning skincare routine. I really love using this all over the face and neck, but especially around the eyes when I'm really puffy and holding a lot of water underneath the eyes and underneath that brow bone. If I have a lot of water retention, I will go in with the microcurrent and it really does the trick. It actually gets rid of the fluid, but at the same time, it's lifting and it's firming the skin around the eyes and it's going to improve crows feet, softening fine lines in time. If you have dark circles, this can be a device that can improve that and give more of that overall brightness. This does help to brighten the skin around the eyes and when you're using it all over your face and your neck because it's improving blood circulation. The Zip Halo has both the microcurrent which works at a muscular level and the nanourren which works at a cellular level. With these two technologies, you're going to get longer lasting results. This is why you don't have to use it every day. The results can last for up to 2 days and then you can go back in and just do maintenance from there. You see immediate results, but then the results do last for a couple of days."
5 SKINCARE MUST-HAVES THAT ACTUALLY FIRM SKIN AND MINIMIZES SIGNS OF AGING
"It gives your facial muscles a little workout, it gets everything moving, and with that being said it creates blood circulation which leads to that glowing, more rejuvenated complexion. You will notice that after your first use you will have this nice glow to your skin. The nanocurrent technology in here will give you those longlasting results, and this is the one microcurrent device that I have used personally that actually gives longlasting results. It really does, and this is why the Zip Halo is my absolute favorite microcurrent device. You can use this on your cheeks and the jawline, you can actually use this on your lips, there are so many different techniques for different lifts and contours, but also to firm and fine lines and wrinkles, and this really does help to soften fine lines. It can help to prevent. When you are using this you do need to use the microcurrent gel. There is a little gel that comes in the box, but it's not going to last too long."
13 BEST ANTI-AGING SKINCARE PRODUCTS 2024 | AGING BACKWARDS OVER 30 - THESE ACTUALLY WORK!
"This is one of my go-to devices in my morning skincare routine. This is a microcurrent device that helps to lift, contour, firm and tighten your skin and the results are pretty much immediate. You will want to be consistent with it, so whether you're using it every other day, every couple of days, or every day, that's fine, but the results can last for up to 72 hours. So if you're someone that can't be dedicated and don't really have the time to use this every day, then just use it every couple of days because the results do last a good length of time. It's a good way to stimulate your facial muscles to get everything moving and get that blood flow going. Microcurrent works at a muscular level whereas the nanocurrent technology in here works at a cellular level, so the nanocurrent technology is what's going to give you that long lasting result and this is phenomenal. There are so many ways you can use this. You can download the Zip Beauty app which is completely free. I like to use it starting from the center of my face and outward and it does give this nice lift, this tighter look, and your skin glows afterwards because it's getting that blood flow."

"It has that Nano current technology and I truly do believe that this is what's helping giving that long-term effect. You may want to start using this every day to begin with and then you can just use it as maintenance after that, use it a few times per week if that's what you want to do. Four minutes out of your day, something that actually lifts and contours your skin, something to really help smooth out your face. I'm telling you this is amazing and I really really like it. It comes with a little mini microcurrent gel in the box and you charge this with a USB which comes with the box as well. This is the perfect anti-aging device."

"Three to four times per week, I do like to use the Zip Halo microcurrent device. This is something that I really like to be consistent with because I love the results that I see with that more lifted, contoured look with my facial muscles. It helps to train your facial muscles to tighten, to just lift and contour everything. You do see immediate results with this. After one use, you do see more of that lifted look and then the more consistent you are, the results last even longer. The results last way longer with the Zip Halo. I really like this one because it has the microcurrent, but it also has the nanourren technology where it works at a cellular level. So you get those two wavelengths and it just makes a world of a difference. The strap that wraps around your head is a lot different and way better. It actually keeps it on. It feels more comfortable. It feels more secure as well."

"The Inky List has a 10% azelaic acid option. Azelaic acid is an ingredient that is calming and soothing, great for those that have sensitive skin. If you have redness, rosacea, azelaic acid is usually prescribed to those that have rosacea. And this is also another ingredient that is great for acne prone skin as well. I have been using azelaic acid all summer long, actually started late spring and I've been using it ever since in both my morning and nighttime skincare routines because this has really helped to keep my skin clear. Do I still break out with azelaic acid? Yes, I do. Not as much though. This really cuts down on the breakouts, but it just keeps my skin so soft and it gives a brighter complexion. There is a mild mild exfoliation with azelaic acid, but it's not meant for exfoliation. This just has a mild exfoliation, but it's very calming and soothing. And I absolutely love this."
"Great for signs of aging, great to firm up the skin, help stimulate new collagen. This ingredient is absolutely wonderful and I've been on it for 6 years. It's been quite the journey and I have loved every minute of it. Of course, not so much the irritation and the flakiness that comes along with tretinoin, but my complexion, the tone, and just the texture of my skin has improved so much over the 6 years. I really do recommend it. It is something that you would want to be on long term. Consistency is key. Take your time, you will get there eventually, but it is wonderful for so many skin concerns."
"The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution is a serum that you can use more often and more frequently. I would recommend the Salicylic Acid 2% in Hydrous Solution over the original one because this one is water and oil-free but it's in a squealing base which allows this serum to be more gentle, more moisturizing, and it just feels more comfortable on the skin. Although I have combination skin I can break out from time to time, sometimes when I use salicylic acid this ingredient can be a little bit sensitizing on my skin and I do experience dryness and a little bit of redness. When I use the in Hydrous solution I never ever experience that. If you are more that sensitive skin type but you have acne, I would say go with the in Hydrous solution. It is a little bit thicker but it's still very very thin and lightweight."
"The first product that I use after my cleanser is the Caudalie Grape Water. This is a great product to use in between your products to keep your skin damp so that you get better absorption."
