I’m to poor to afford all these products but I will certainly sit down and watch all 32 minutes!
Same!
Join the club ladies 😜
I'm more of a The Ordinary customer. :) But very happy with that brand!
@@marianne6373 I can afford the Sunday Riley Good Genes serum, but I use The Ordinary's Lactic Acid serum instead because it works better. The Ordinary has some amazing products.
@@Laura-mi3nv I just started using the lactic acid from the Ordinary and it's fantastic! For some reason any irritation I sometimes get from their Niacinamide+ zinc serum and my tretionin cream seems to go away when I put the lactic acid on first. It's just wow - and my skin feels so moisturized.
I could be wrong but I think the B-hydra is meant to be a hydrating serum and not an actual moisturizer, so it's supposed to be used in conjunction with a moisturizer. Similar to the FAB hydrating serum.
Correct x
Yep! Any HA product needs to have a moisturiser on top ...
yes! I love this stuff. because my dry AF skin sucks up everything, and this helps retain moisture. sensitive skin, so i can't just lather on thick stuff :(
It's great mixed with the C-Firma serum and then followed with one of the moisturizers.
Yes!!! I have really dehydrated skin (note NOT dry) and this is amazing over my Hadalabo HA and under moisturizer. I actually mix it with the D-bronzi and it's like magic
🙋♀️ proof that focusing on skin care will lead to less need to HAVE TO WEAR makeup. You look fantastic. Thank you. Blessings 💐
Hmmm.... understanding makeup as a cover for bad skin is rather limited. Most of my life I had and have as compared to my peers a very good skin. Yet I love makeup. Colours, changes. Love makeup. It's fun!
@@redpandasmile pretty sure Jessica said she loves to play with makeup too. But therse a difference between covering your bad blotchy flawed skin and enhancing your great healthy looking skin. Playing with color she said she loves to do as well, which is different than covering flaws as well.
Renata K listen i think most people understand now that we like makeup. It can easily make you feel like a goddess when you’re feeling down, can be used as a creative art form and is not only used for creativity outlet or to make yourself feel good if you’ve never had acne, rosacea, dark spots, scaring then you have never and hopefully never will understand that desperation to wear face makeup when you go to the gym, when you have a girlfriend come stay the night even though you’re just drinking wine and talking or go to run to the grocery store for something. That desperation is unbearable at times to feel that ashamed and unable to let go and realize it’s not that big of a deal most people don’t think about it for more than a second and it’s forgotten. Op was saying instead of being paralyzed by the fact that you can’t go out w/o makeup focus on some good skincare it could really turn your confidence around.
when you said youwerent wearing foundation i literally had to double take you look amazing!!
I’m 49 so I splurged on the entire line. I have seen such dramatic results, I couldn’t believe it. It’s amazing. My texture, tone, fine lines...everything has improved. I look 10 years younger.
Constance G what product you are talking about
Yes, what products And your skin type ?
@@ritasharqawi7367 she said "the entire line" 😅
I bought it all! I can really tell a difference in my skin! Love DE!
Could you please review The Ordinary Serums ? Love your Vlogs
cathie Shelinbarger their caffeine solution, rosehip oil, and lactic acid are really nice ! Also their hyaluronic acid is good for the price point
Im also really intrigued by "inky" they're a new affordable brand I've come across similar to the ordinary.
Ummmm no. They dont do anything.
Affordable too
I love their Buffet and hyaluronic acid!
it’s been 3 years hahah. but the reason it’s called drunk elephant is because the person who created the brand once saw elephants in africa walking like they were drunk because of the chemicals in the water. don’t quote me on this but i think around 10% of the money you spend when purchasing something from this brand will go to helping the elephants!!
Holy crap, your skin looks amazing!!
Fancy finding you here :)
@@frankiew.4101 FRAN? omg! hi!
I literally just read it as I TRIED ALL THE PRODUCTS DRUNK and was like this video is from Jessica? LOL
OMG hahahahaha!!!!!!!
Omg this is amazing thank you for making me laugh today! LOLLLL
Jenna War I laughed so hard😂😂😂😂
Hysterical!!! The best!!!🤣🤣🤣
Jess- ya need to do a tipsy tutorial!! Would. Be. Amazing. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻💗💋😉
If you sign up for DE emails they sent me a survey to take and they send you the littles set free with free shipping! It’s a $90 set usually.
Candace Grubbs No way!!! that’s awesome thank you so much
I did the survey too! Their so amazing! 🐘💜
Is this still valid?
Imm C-B No. The survey was only open for about 4-5 days. Sign up for their emails, I’m sure they’ll do something like it again in the future.
Send me the link girllll
The Ordinary has marula oil for $8 and it’s literally the exact same as DE’s. :) just in case anyone is looking for a significantly cheaper alternative
It's like 1/3rd the price, and only very slightly "thicker" than DE's (it's not thick at all, if you've never tried DE's you wouldn't think an oil can be thinner). Hell yah
You’re missing the big difference that DE’s is also fair trade, meaning the farmers and workers aren’t exploited. If the ordinary one is only 8 dollars i guarantee it’s from exploited farming practices. Also I personally find the texture to be slightly different.
@@BonjourColey I'm not 100% sure about where the ordinary sources their oil, but they manage to keep their prices low through zero marketing, basic packaging, and easy straight forward ingredients. That said, we should always support fair trade!
I agree! I’ve tried both as well.
I love TO but I notice a huge difference between their marula oil and DE. DE disappears on my skin and TO lays on top. I also break out from TO oil. I absolutely love their B Oil however.
Hey Jess! I’m a store manager for a Sephora and we recently did an education on how the brand name was created. The first product that the brand owners were really interested in making was the virgin marula oil. They said that in Africa when elephants eat the fruit that the oil is made from they appear almost intoxicated. So that’s how they came up with the name, I hope that helps😊
I also love the TLC serum but didn't want to spend another $90. I found Paula's Choice Advanced Smoothing Treatment. It's a 10% AHA/BHA blend, compared to TLC's 12% blend, so it's pretty similar. I'm really liking it so far and it's around $35!
So i work at Sephora and when we were trained on DE I'm 99% sure they said it's called Drunk Elephant because when elephants consume the fruit from Marula trees, they act "drunk," So since Marula seed oil is found in many Drunk Elephant products, the CEO decided on the name!!
That is interesting AND makes sense!
Jessica Braun | JAMbeauty89 thank you for such an in depth video!! such great information 😊❤️
That’s exactly why! I read on it and saw a video too! 😄
what the heck😂😂ege omziaaa aa
I’ve been waiting for this. Love Drunk elephant. I’m very oily and that B-Hydra is AMAZING!!!! One quick critique on the video (LOVE all the extra information) but its hard to read with the font being so curvy.
I realize that now! 😭 it was a lot easier to read while I was editing and I had it maximized on my screen but now difficult to read on my phone screen! 😩
Thanks for sharing about the B-Hydra because my skin suddenly is oily the last 2 weeks just around my nose but not full t-zone. I was trying to decide which to get
Yes! Review the Ordinary 😃
You’re an actual queen. I can tell how much work when into this video and it’s amazing! You go girl!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
when your two favorite youtubers support each other😍🌯🖤
thataylaa My two favorites! :D In depth reviews, no ridiculous model-y intros, and TRUTH.
Love ya'll
❤❤❤
Ah, love you girl!! Thank you!!! 💕❤️💕😂
I love Drunk Elephant products in general but I do use some of The Ordinary products that come highly recommended since I am not Mrs Gotrocks and it doesn’t look like I will be any time soon!!!❤️
Just as an FYI, the ordinary dupe you listed for the TLC is actually a fantastic dupe for the Sukari Baby facial. It's also 10 bucks and I love it.
I agree!!!
Thanks i fidnt know that
This is a fantastic review! Would you mind doing something similar on Paul's Choice or The Ordinary? I have maturing skin and looking for something somewhat budget friendly but with quality ingredients. Thank you!
When you said that you only had a little concealer on and no other makeup, you could have knocked me over with a feather! Your skin looks amazing! Thank you for putting in so much effort and work into this super detailed review! Your hard work doesn't go unappreciated! 💖
Om
the framboos ruined my skin because I assumed I should use it every night because its a night serum and I used it every day for 3 weeks straight
Do not use the Ordinary peel as a "stepping stone" into chemical exfoliation. It is too strong for beginners. It isn't a dupe for Framboos, it's similar to Baby Facial, which is also a stronger peel.
Kaity Gordon YES I have the Ordinary peel and even tho my skin is acclimated to chemical exfoliants the peel is VERY strong. I do it 1-2 times a month and only keep it on for 3 minutes.
Start slow with actives like chemical exfoliants and retinols! Otherwise you risk damaging your skin 😞
I was looking for this comment! The Framboos dupe by the Ordinary is probably their 7% glycolic serum (for more mild exfoliation.)
Agree....the ordinary burns my skin every single time...and oh sweet baby jesus if you have a open blemish...death!
@@cassienoble7645
I tried this and I have very sensitive skin. I seriously was crying since I left it on way too long. I had a very bad chemical burn all over my face.
I wouldn't recommend for sensitive skin. I emailed the Ordinary and they said never start off with a very strong chemical exfoliant. They said I can use it for only 30 senconds and twice a month.
I learned the hard way. I now can use it twice a month. I will just try the DE Tlc one to see if its better for me.
I used to use the ordinary peel it did nothing for me I prefer DE baby facial
Fun fact! If you compare the oz between Clinique, IT cosmetics and Farmacy melting cleansers, the DE is actually the cheapest and you get the most product for the price ;)
Sydnee Lawson good to know, thanks for doing the math! Plus you get the cool magnetized scoop.
I didn’t like the Drunk Elephant cleaning balm. I truly enjoy using the Farmacy balm. I am on my 4th jar.
@@harriettaisibor50 it has polyethylene aka plastic. Save the seals and the DE is great worth it. Won't leave a film which is due to polyethylene and farmacy has essential oils.
The B hydra isn’t supposed to be a stand alone it’s a serum.
Exactly! It's not a moisturizer! Hyaluronic acid serums need to be topped up with an actual moisturizer. Otherwise they can cause the opposite effect and start drawing moisture from the skin.
Wow Jessica Girl you REALLY worked hard on this one for us!!!! So detailed and explained so well! Thank you so much for breaking it all down for us!!! 🥰
When you said you weren’t wearing face makeup I was IN DISBELIEF. wow jessica, way to go!!! Your skin is unreal.
Jules Harding she is wearing concealer
The b hydra serum is a serum. Therefore it’s meant to be topped with an actual moisturizer. You didn’t explain that at all. The b hydra can’t be used on its own for anyone, not even oily skin. It needs an occlusive over it. You totally didn’t get the product and didn’t explain how to use it correctly at all. It’s not and never was intended to be a stand alone Moisturizer for any skin type.
I know good skin care should be viewed as an investment, but it’s so hard to justify the prices! Love that you’re honest about whether or not it’s really worth it!💜
The protein peptide cream is my absolute favorite! Now I'm thinking of getting my hands on that retinol treatment
Same and the only way I got to test it out was from the Sephora birthday gift set lol
😃I use it religiously
You will not regret that retinol! It is the best 👌 my favorite 😍
Would love for you to review Trader Joe's beauty products - I feel like many of them are high end dupes/white labeled
Chana Kreuter like which ones?
@@margaret77494 try the tester of the facial moisturizer in the store; it feels super high end. I don't own any of the high end ones to do a side by side comparison, but I'm pretty sure I tested something is sephora that felt exactly like it. Someone who uses high end products would be able to give a better/exact comparison.
Trader joe products are crap
The peeling mask from is more like the baby facial... But a good framboos dupe is Alpha Skin Care - Intensive Renewal Serum, 14% Glycolic AHA
The jelly cleanser saved my face! My skin is the best it has been in my life and I have struggled with acne ever since I can remember.
Thanks for ur comment! I will get my brother some for his acne. I hope it helps him too!!
Great review!!! Love to see the same format with Tatcha. ❤❤❤
Girl, I don't know how you do it but your videos and your aura calm my soul. Keep up the great work and thanks for staying true to yourself❤️💕
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve come back and watched this video when I’ve wanted to try a new DE product.
Yes!! I'm so happy you're promoting Drunk Elephant. I've been raving about them for a while now but always feel a bit bad because of that high price tag ❤️
They are expensive but just the fact they are silicone free justify the price for me.You should take a look to biossence especially their peptide gel eye cream and the omega repair cream
Aww it makes me happy to see almost 300 likes and ZERO dislikes (eta: omg now at 500!! that's great!)
So excited for this video, thanks for doing all this for us!!!
Sorry another edit- where do you buy Maelove products???
Thank you for all the valuable information Jessica. I’d love if you could do a lip balm favorites video.
The NIOD Photography Fluid 8% might be similar to the d-bronzi
As I understand Clinique balm is not cheaper if you calculate it per ounce 🤔
Correct, the Clinique balm is $9.83/oz while the DE one is $8.76/oz not including the mini bamboo powder, and $8.72/oz including the bamboo powder.
When Drunk Elephant trained us when I worked at Sephora, they told us that the B-Hydra isn’t designed to be used alone. They told us to mix it with other serums and moisturizers to boost it, or help change the consistency. I personally mixed it with the C-Firma serum because I couldn’t stand the consistency on its own. Try it that way, you may like it way more!
Oh I LOVE the pekee bar! It reminds me of how Dove body wash feels on your body, but for your face. It's like velvety, creamy, clean happiness. 10/10 recommend if you don't mind bar soap.
same!!! I LOVE it!!
I tried the hyleronic acid serum, didn't love. I do like the face wash. But the standout for me is the proteini moisturizer. I have combo skin.
Love this video! I’m trying to get into a really good skincare routine. Thanks for sharing girl!
I feel like Cerave would be an interesting drugstore brand to explore. I used to use a ton of drunk elephant stuff and switched almost exclusively to cerave when I went back to school and didn’t have the budget for it anymore :p
Elvira S I’m using the cerave skin renewing night cream and really like it, have you used the drunk elephant protini, and how does it compare? I have dryish skin. Thanks for any feedback!
The Ordinary has a polypeptide serum called the Buffet. But, my favorite is the Matrixyl peptide serum. My skin LOVES this product!
Patti, what is it doing for you? I received this as a gift with purchase, but haven't integrated it into my routine. I use a few Ordinary serums and don't really know if I need this one? Thanks! Btw, if 1962 is your birth year, we are cohorts!
My skin HATED the TLC Framboos serum. I got so many deep, painful breakout from it. I tried it a few different times and each time I tried it I would get breakouts.
That’s an individual reaction…everyone’s skin is different
I loved it
Just FYI! (I work for a place that has a lot of brands come and give us talks and teach on their products)
-like some other people have mentioned, "Drunk Elephant" name comes from elephants who get "drunk" from eating Marula fruit. DE just uses the nut of the fruit to make their oil, but that's the name.
-all of their products are actually made to work together and they even encourage mixing! The rep we had showed us how to mix them in the top of the moisturizer after pumping some up, adding all your faves, swirling together and applying like one product!
-Slaai comes with a little tube of very fine bamboo and charcoal exfoliating powder that you're supposed to add to the balm once or twice a week, so it's kind of a 2 in 1!
-all of their products are made to keep your skin in the right pH. Most cleansers are way to alkaline, and this can cause issues and is why companies sell "toner" to rebalance your pH but all of the up and down isn't good for skin either.
-the babyfacial is like the stronger older sister to the framboos, so it's more for people who need the next step up
-Youre not suppose to use the A-Passioni by itself!!!!!!! You're supposed to mix it with a moisturizer, which is why they sell it with the B-Hydra mini
I super love love love these in-depth reviews, Jess! And just in general, your videos are always so nice to watch after a rough day 💕🤗
Yess a long time ago when youtube wasnt so big yet i remember learning from someone that DE makes their oroducts so that you can create your own skin carw cocktails. Which i found pretty amazing. :)
Omg I actually love the jelly cleanser and I’m so happy to hear it’s one of the more affordable product from their brand. Yes it is drying but it doesn’t break me out at all, I just finished the mini size and my skin was clear for the 2-3 weeks that I used it and my break outs went away. I’m gonna go buy the full size now 😭💕
Lita what is your skin type
I love drunk elephant! My top favorite brands for my sensitive and eczema prone skin are drunk elephant, FAB, keihls
You would LOVE the serums that Pixi has! I use the overnight glow serum that is a chemical exfoliant, it could possibly be a dupe for the Drunk Elephant. Their hydrating milky serum is great as well
Love pixi overnight glow!
I used to use only Drunk Elephant but got tired of how expensive it was, so I started researching. Now I use Paula's Choice and The Ordinary products with even better results, for way less money.
Which products do you recommend?
TheManderann what products do you use?
Facetheory's AHA/BHA cream cleanser is also amazing! the reviews about it are 98% positive and it really helped my skin. It made my skin so smooth and helped with making my skin less red. I have a aha/bha toner from Paula's choice that also had great reviews and helped with my textured/scared skin. From the ordinary, the salicylic acid, HA and 2% retinol was my holy grail.
TheManderann paulas choice is amazing! I love their chemical exfoliants too.
The D-Bronzi is one of my favorite products of all time. I mix it with my moisturizer in the morning and I often times mix it with my foundation to darken it a little and give my skin a healthy glow.
Kelli Dixon It mixes well with Avène kids spray sunscreen SPF 50 for daytime.
I love the Protini. I had been given the little jar and have just ordered the large one. The Vitamin C I use 2x a day...love that one too:) Great review.
Oh and skincare tip: The CVS store brand is all cruelty free, cheap, and pretty good quality 👍🏻
The glow maker serum is only good for 3 months !!! The DE vitamin c is good for 6 months !
Another utuber. Ican’t remember who to give credit to. But she suggested keeping vitamin C products in the refrigerator and they will not turn bad as quickly. I tried it and it works
I can’t imagine it would take much more than 3 months to use up something you use daily. If the price is right I would risk it not being *as * effective as could be for a few weeks
Just put half of it in the refrigerator and it will last 5 months easily and you’ll use. It up before it turns,
Catnip 4 That suggestion came from Hot & Flashy. I keep 2/3 of the bottle in a blue or amber glass bottle in the refrigerator. Definitely extends the shelf life.
I have dry skin and use the polypeptide cream with the hydra in in the spring and summer. In winter I mix the lala moisturizer with 3 drops of marula oil and those work perfect for me.
Caroline Hirons is the place to go about retinols/acids.She also has DE brand overview. I'm looking forward to getting round to trying Protini, currently working through some Sunday Riley which I LOVE.
Caroline’s blog and TH-cam are my skincare bible!! I have learned so much watching her.
Yes! Came here to say this too! Caroline is the best and her retinol series is amazing!
Shona Pushed Play Agree, was surprised that she says parabens are not harmful!??
@@Zumbunnies I'm not, she's heavily science based and knows how to read studies. We're really fed a lot of lies, particularly by the "clean" movement now making its way into makeup and beauty. A biologist friend of mine corrected me years ago about it and I have since learned a lot more about how to read and assess quality of information and studies myself (not really beauty related, more health for me as my specialist topic).
Jess-“This is going to be a long video” Me-“Yay!!!”
I would love to hear a comparison of the Paula’s choice 1% retinol treatment to the drunk elephant one. I feel like both companies have very similar thoughts on ingredients. While the price difference isn’t too much (about $15) you can more frequently find sales codes for PC.
mbmotto they are all most similar! Both yellow and a little bit thick creams I tried them both and didn’t find big differences. But I agree with you that I got the PC for half the price with discount in comparison to the DE price. PC has really good products for a slightly cheaper price.
Thank you for this phenomenal and in depth review! I now have answers to so many questions.
Your skin looks incredible!
Will definitely get the polypeptide cream on the sale! Thanks for this! 🤗
With the A-Passioni, I mix a pea sized amount with my moisturizers and use it every other day! I feel like when you mix it, it’s not quite as harsh on the skin and I can build it up a lot easier! I love it! 😍🙌🏻
Thanks for sharing!!! Can you also do a full brand review on The Ordinary?
I Love you but when you say things like "marula oil is known to have fatty acids in it..." it makes me want to scratch my eyes out. Oils ARE fatty acids. I wish TH-camrs in general would do a little more researxh and not just read the labels of bottles.
Kristina Bayer Same
Same
Kristina Bayer not nearly as bad as when thataylaa said she gets nervous usinghyaluranic acid because acids sting 😂 ohhh boy. Hyaluranic acid isn’t ACID.. oh well we all make mistakeS
I LIVE for the DE jelly cleanser. Also hype for Tarte’s Rainforest of the Sea Deep Dive cleansing gel which is about $10 cheaper. They are both my absolute favorite 🖤
The Ordinary’s AHA/BHA is great. Very strong so I felt it did more than the Sakura Baby Facial but it’s a mask versus a almost nightly serum like the Framboos. What level Refinol is the DE cream?
The Ordinary ALSO has 100% cold pressed virgin Marula Oil for $9.90... just throwin it out there :)
The name comes from elephants eating fermented marula seeds. Which is the main oil used in DE products.
I just started using the Protini moisturizer for summer, and my skin looks better than it has in months! I’m so in love. Plus I have NO sensitivity to it, which is shocking.
Oh my you look like a teenager without the makeup. I just ordered the polypeptide and exfoliate on eBay because they’re too expensive at Sephora😳Polypeptide 1.69 oz for $28 and Exfoliate $32, 1fl oz. I Love them!! Thx..
i was watching andrea matillano's video and the drunk elephant makeup removing balm is apparently a better price per ounce compared to clinique, farmacy and physician's formula
I was gifted the juju bar and I love it. I use it 1-2x a week. I've had it since Christmas and it's barely made a dent in it. My face feels incredibly smooth after use.
I'd love to see something about skincare from the body shop😍
For information about Retinol/Retin-A/Retinoids Caroline Hirons youtube channel is highly recommended.
This video was THE BEST. Thank you so much for taking the time over the past year to genuinely review this entire skincare line for us!! I am so eternally grateful and will definitely be splurging on some of these products😍
youre meant to SHAKE the bottle (umbre tint spf) to avoid the grit youre talking about, it settles like most physical sunscreens
Elle Leary Artistry is also a great channel for skin care too. She knows her stuff :)
I know I'm late but, damn, I'm trying ALL the face products little by little and I Just appreciate them all! Some are expensive, you can find good cheaper products, but most of DE are slightly better. By now, I'm just missing the cleanser, One of the eye creams, spf, the Lippe balm, the sake spray and the cleansing milk... I would like to hate on this brand (price, attitude, social dramas etc...) buy I can't, I keep buying 🤷🏻♀️ The only meh for me it's the c firma serum, it stinks and it's not as effective as, for example, TO's resveratrol plus pycnogenol
Omg I have no life lol I’ve been waiting since last night to see this 💜
I’m indifferent on A-Passioni. I just think it’s a little greasy and has a ton of ingredients. I don’t understand why it needs to be packed so full of oils and different extracts. I prefer retinols to be simple and non greasy and almost like a serum.
Your skin looks amazing! So clearly whatever you're using is working well. Sidenote Dr. Dray on TH-cam has videos on the Drunk Elephant retinol product. It was a very informative video.
Oh man. I prefer the Clinique balm over the DE for mascara
The Farmacy Honeymoon Glow is a great dupe for the TLC Framboos serum! Still expensive but like $30 cheaper than the DE!
just want to say it's retin - A is the only providen ingredient to help with aging. Retinol can be converted to retin-A but its not a guarantee. so it's just a market gimmick.
I absolutely LOVE drunk elephant!!! I think they make THE BEST products on the market!!!!!
My mom got the night serum for me for Christmas last year and I really liked it, but i can’t afford that 90$ price tag! BUT I have found a “dupe” from the drug store that, for me, works better! My main concerns are texture and blemishes, so to each their own, but for me the Pixi overnight glow serum works wonders! My skin is clearer and more even, I break out less often and when I do, they are WAY less severe. I’m on probably my sixth or seventh bottle now. I haven’t tried the ordinary one, however, so I’m not sure how they compare!
Feels like forever since we've seen you!
I just spent $76 on a ton of the ordinary skincare products a couple of days ago lol! Hopefully I wouldn’t have been better suited to have just purchased one DE product
Maia Meow I don’t think you’ll regret that purchase. Lot’a bang for your buck with TO.
fyi, The Ordinary also has a 1% retinol serum, less than 10 dollars!
kris182 Have you used it? I’d love an affordable but effective option!
Beauty pie super retinol is amazing!! Xxx
@@paulamae1983 so i bought the ordinary's 0.2% retinol bc i was afraid of starting off too strong. Only been using a couple weeks, but so far i can notice a slight improvement of texture; no anti-aging effects noticed. I wish I would have gotten the 1% right off the bat, as the one i have now hasn't dried out my skin at all. Once i get through that one, I will buy the 1%.
Is it called Granactive Retinoid in Squalane? Trying to find it on Sephora website..☺️
I have used the Drunk Elephant and all of The Ordinary Retinols and I LOVE THE ORDINARY but...
None of their retinols come close to the DE one (their red mask is way better than the DE TLC mask though)
That said, I would just use the lowest dose of Retin-A instead of the DE Retinol. It’s way cheaper and will be more effective in the long run 😊
Girls/Guys if you want to use a retinol. you can get a prescription one usually for $10!!!!! Go to your dermatologist. I am young, but started early. I can't believe how these brands sell their retinols for $80+ dollars. Is crazy. Then again without insurance a tretinoin/retinol would be $80. so go to your derma
Your skin looks amazing! Can't wait for the drugstore routine. I just love the direction your channel has taken. 💕
I loved this video!!! A LOT! From start to end, thank you so much for this video! ❤
OMG. Amazon selling Maelove glow serum for $49.99 !!! Rip off. Same size 1 oz, is $27.95 on Maelove site. Damn.
Please be careful ordering from Amazon. They are having a serious problem with counterfeit products. It has become like ordering from Ebay. Usually if something is too good to be true, it is usually not the real deal. Check out this article

This article says that up to 70% of some cosmetic lines are counterfeit on Amazon😖😩
