Aloha beautiful! Thanks for stopping by to check out my video. Today I'm talking about Luxury Skin Care products and if they're actually worth the high price point. These include products from La Mer, La Prairie, SK-II, Cle De Peau, and others! Let me know YOUR thoughts in the comment section, because this is a pretty controversial topic!
My skin was SO BURNT from my recent trip to the Big Island in Hawaii!! That's why I'm looking a little rosy haha.

Question: what are your thoughts about luxury skin care? Is it worth the price? Let’s start a discussion! ☺️
I've never actually used any skin care above $100, it's pretty ridic how there are pines for $300 plus. There is a difference between cheap ingredients, and not cheap ingredients. Just like salicylic acid that's naturally-derived, and salicylic acid thats not.
Exactly my point :) However, salycilic acid is scientifically proven to be effective, yet sometimes luxury skin care fails to even include these ingredients in their products. That's where, I believe, they fall short
I’ve used the Sisley and La Mer lines and my skin was very smooth and nice, although I have oily skin and these products did make me look Mayte for some time but for the price points, I felt that it was not enough...deep down I thought that if I had paid so much for that luxury skincare routine that I should have too-good-skin but it was not the case. So I went to a dermatologist and she saw what I was using and told me that they were not bad but they weren’t exactly what I needed , so she recommended different products and they were cheaper but not cheap. (This dermatologist is the most respected where I live, is quite pricey compared to the others in town and with the money I’d buy a La Mer product, I could buy the whole list she told me to get)....Oh my goodness gracious! My skin is literally flawless and it has been only two weeks since I started using the scientifically-proven-products. I have never been happier with my skin, I don’t get oily throughout the day and my skin is simply gorgeously smooth. So my advice to anyone is: Go to a dermatologist :) great vid, btw
I'm so glad you were able to work with your dermatologist to find lower priced, effective products! Dermatologists can help so much, and they definitely help people understand that luxury products aren't NEEDED for good skin. I'm so happy for you, and thank you for watching! :)
I love high end brands. And you probably know that I am currently using a lot of la prairie. I like La Mer and Sisley too. for cheaper options, I think only paula's choice, skinceuticals, and clinique are good for me. There are just a lot of shitty brands that i wish they never exist. I got a ole henriksen holidy boxset, it was........ just so bad. My reason of choosing high end brands are they don't disappoint me like perricome or ole henriksen do.
To me, when people buy luxury skin care, they buy the brand, not the product itself. I always believe that skincare is unique as you are, if the products work for you, then go ahead. But what concerns me nowadays Is beauty guru/influencers keep promoting luxury skincare even though their audiences are mostly teenagers. I wonder how teenagers can afford that expensive skincare routine if their parents are not rich
Exactly! Not everyone can afford luxury brands and we need to be aware of that. I think it's more of a balance, and the rhetoric that you need to spend a lot of money to get good skin is ridiculous.
Theyre paying for the expensive containers 🤣
perhaps, but in my case i buy the product not the brand, i dont make present my money to anyone, and if i wouldnt see any results i wouldnt bu these products, but i do see so i buy them, look at my profile pic, i haveno foundation no concealer no highlight but perfect skin, andi m not 20
Japanese and Korean skincare products are a lot cheaper than western products, and their products are much more innovative. Also, some of Korean and Japanese brands have been very aware about the ingredients that they put in their products. It's a lot easier to find a Japanese/Korean skincare product that doesn't contain irritating and potentially dangerous ingredients.
@@whitepaper5241 specially Shiseido Brand.. it is so Amazing one.
it's just marketing, companies are not even French but use French names to make it look like luxury
so true
Sisley the black rose infused cream, the rose toner and the black rose mask cleared up all my acne plus made my skin BABYSOFT. I’ve never tried anything better than this line.
Ahhh that is a super good line. Honestly Sisley is probably one of my favorite luxury brands, but still soooo expensive 😭💕
Yes, the rose line from Sisley is a masterpiece of skincare.
Kristoffer Karlsen Thanks for sharing. I don’t mind spending $ for luxury as long as it’s helpful. I’ll look into this line! 🌹
Hi! U mean by the rose toner the floral toning lotion?
Hyram ,who would be hateful in the comments to a blue-eyed cutie like you?! I started my retail experience with Sisley Paris back in 2016. And since then I changed a lot of different brands and during all those years I was lucky enough to try TONS of skincare lines. Nothing ,will repeat NOTHING is quite like Sisley- I still remember when first applied their Sisleya Lintegral cream on my face-the skin on my face literally freaked out. My face sent signal to my mind asking me: What the hell is this gorgeous concoction of divine achievement ??!! They have an ULTA futuristic,high-tech factory in France. Looking at the ingredients list is not enough!!! What I mean by that is Sisley skincare is very highly concentrate on its active ingredients and the way they deliver these cocktails of ingredients is absolutely spectacular! Even though my vanity is full of other very good creams I just ordered a few days ago the most premium lines that Sisley has created- Sisleya and the night skincare heaven called Supremya at Night! By the way I was having soooo many compliments back in the day while I was using their product-my skin was immaculate,glowing from within ,slightly pinky,but not redness type of pink ,no!!! I am talking about a healthy,happy,spoiled to heaven type of flush. Dear Hyram , no wonder you like Sisley the most-it is not La Prairie or La Mer!!! It is the best luxury skincare brand that I have come across. P.S. You have to try their Supremya at Night Skincare before you die ,especially when you are junkie. You will never forget it and nothing is like it❤️
Read La Mer’s ingredients. I’m not paying that to see mineral oil as the second ingredient. We wouldn’t let a cheaper brand get away with this madness.
What is so bad about mineral oil? And the only luxury brand that really works is La Prairie. And also MISSHA that I use myself.
It’s such a cheap ingredient. It works but for the price of La Mer you shouldn’t see it in the top 5 ingredients.
Sandra It clogs pores.
The same thing for Sisley (emulsion ecologique for example)
I'm shocked😳
Mineral oil.. is a Chemical, chemical that comes from Petroleum or gas. Also can clogged your skin pores so it will start the break out such liked popule, pustule and nodule or maybe the P acne.
I work with some of these brands and let me explain, some prices grow cause of the quality of the ingredients or the way of its extraction, the prices SOMETIMES really changes the quality, you can never compare a 500$ cream to a 50$ one, we have clients from both of those prices and the difference in the skin is noticable, in skincare you have to find whats right and what works for you, no matter the price you want to spend, do a try out yourselves and put some lifting caviar from laprairie on your face ,and a lifting one from clinique and you will see the difference as soon as the product touches the skin, one does whats promised, the other one, not as much
My Grandmother would always layer and layer La Mer cream for YEARS and it has been extremely effective for preventing wrinkles. She looks wayyyy younger than what she is. I highly recommend !
😂
it’s not the cheapest
Hyram, can you do a skincare video on Chanel skincare products and if you recommend them or not?
Yessssssse!!!!! I really hope he does a skin care review on Chanel
Yes 🙌
Pls
First of all, the amount of research and thought you’ve put into this is incredible. I love that you are sincerely speaking about a topic you are clearly passionate about. Other than that, Thank you for clearing up the “Only way to great skin is $$$$$$” myth I had. Can’t wait to hear more! ❤️
This comment is EVERYTHING 🙌❤️❤️ Thank you! I’m super passionate and try to present an educated standpoint to you guys. I love that you’re supporting me, it means so much to me!
I would say most of them are worth it. No only the ingredients, but how they are extracted is important. And also the delivery system is crucial, some drug store products have a stunning ingredient list, but they couldn’t be absorbed by your skin.
Exactly
Crème de la Mer is just expensive Vaseline (petroleum jelly) as far as I am concerned......the companies never really publish scientific studies to back up their research, and sadly, a majority of the singular studies done by these companies are not replicated anywhere at all.
Yeah placebo and money dedicating you to using them consistently is powerful.
My mom is a dermatologist and she admits that la mer is a really good line she sees great results in clients might help.
But you can not get the same result with vaseline
Hyram, I love you honesty! You make very valid points. I liked luxury skincare to the clothing industry....the markup is ridiculous and not worth it. Thanks for putting this out there
I feel bad for people who save their money to purchase these products. When it comes to makeup, its more important what you DONT put on your face than trying to purchase exotic ingredients that probably don't even penetrate the skin.
Xalli Gonzales Same :/ I can understand people who have a lot of money, but I made this video for people who save their money thinking that this is the ‘only way to get good skin’, which is simply not true...
I agree. if money just isn't an issue then why not drop La Mer in your Gucci bag. and I'm not saying I haven't splurged in my own ways... so no judging. But I hate it when I hear people have saved up for these item that they believe will make a difference. But you're a cutie pie and I really like your videos. Keep up the good work.
I am SO glad I found your Channel, you are a WEALTH of informative information!
Currently binge watching all you videos ♡ very impressive, thank you for sharing your knowledge of skin care!!
Once I found out fragrance can ruin the skin barrier I don’t even Care about the name brand I go straight to the ingridients list
Saaaaame
I kind of know that what you say it's true but actually I feel like a million bucks using Sisley products and somehow they have worked great on me so far. I used the foam cleanser, the pomegranate tonic, their tropical resins moisturizer, their transparent powder and their mist...and I had not ever had a better skin and everyone compliments me on it. Deep down I know that I'd spend way less going to a dermatologist.
I'm so happy for you! If the products have made a difference in your skin, WONDERFUL. Keep doing you
I think higher end/clean(er) skincare brands like Drunk Elephant, Tata Harper, May Lindstrom, etc are much better than drugstore BUT most products that are like $1000 wouldn’t make that much of a difference if you already use good stuff.
If you go from st Ives to la mer then yeah of course you will see improvement. But if you’re knowledgeable about skincare and have a good routine already, the difference will not be worth the price.
I’ve been using La Mer and Cle de Peau for 20+ years and love them. La Mer’s body lotion was the only thing that healed my sunburn in a matter of days, without any peeling. And speaking of scientifically proven ingredients, some Cle de Peau products contain retinol btw. I have tried good retinol creams from my dermatologist and while they made my skin look fabulous too, I have never seen the radiance that CPB’s La Creme has delivered.
Hyram u said it best! We dont need high priced items to have beautiful skin .Thank You.
Surya Moorthy Thank you Surya! Exactly my point :) If you like high priced skin care, you do you! But it’s totally not necessary to pay a lot of money to get good skin
my experience is that these products are very effectif, but you must start with skin care very young, dont expect to start late and expect wonders
Totally agree with you Hyram, for me I think ingredients in skincare products are the most important things. I choose the skincare products which are suitable for my skin & skin type not because of how big the brands are. My skin got MUCH better after I switched some of the high-end brands skincare with affordable k beauty skincare brands with simple ingredients. I think most of the luxury brands are meant for dry skin not acne-prone or oily skin. :(
Love your videos and honest opinion ! Love your enthousiasm!!
I tried many high end brands, I think La Mer and Sisley are very good, my skin is very acneic and oily but those products helped a lot. I tried less expensive products as well, they were effective to target my blemishes but they didn't make my skin as soft as when I applied La Mer or Sisley products. Do your own research for your type of skin it's worth it. It might take a lot of times and money but once you get the right products your skin will transform. I also agree some ingredients like retinol and salycilid acid are potent so you can find those in drugstore brands or cheaper products. Korean skincare is effective and cheaper. Just my opinion.
I’ve been using the La Prairie Platinum Rare collection for awhile now and I love it! But, before then, I wasn’t really using much of anything for skincare, so the truth is that I very well could have gotten the same results using lower cost products.
Not sure if L'Occitane counts as a luxury brand. But I've been using their anti aging cream and eye cream for almost 8 months. My skin has never been better. I'm 24 and have eczema, so finding skincare products is challenging as is.
I've been a lifelong skincare junkie haha. I've used everything, and I do mean everything. I completely agree with you. Your video is very well stated and well-informed. Your skin is also very beautiful. You're quite handsome as well haha, and I look forward to future videos as well.
Thank you so much, honestly hearing that feedback means so much because I really try to do my research. And thank you for the compliments
I will be looking forward to it!
And I love Paula's choice research too.
Like you before, I also dont like the idea of buying skin care products more than $50. But I tried clinique dark spot corrector, used up two bottles waiting for it to work and nothing happened. I saw chanel sublimage and tried it, way more expensive and ready to return it if it does not work as i was so skeptical, but i was suprised. It evened out my skin tone, reduced my pores, great moisturizer leaving my skin with glow, minimized fine lines.I receive compliments even with older people i dont know (i bet with poor vision)but still saw how my skin was good while i was using it. I hate the fact that it worked because then i have to keep it and it will be a product i will be using in the future to repurchase and it is expensive. But in my experience it is the reverse of what you say, of people wanting luxury and thinking it will work because it is luxury. I tried to see if it is worth the money, and honestly i tried less than 100 dollar skin care and could not replicate what it does to my skin. Let me also say that not all expensive skin care automatically means it will work as I also tried lamer and felt it was a waste of money for me. Unfortunately skin care are not prescribed meds that has lots of studies about and it is quite hard to say that just because an ingredient was not studied it will not work. Also one consideration to think about is that the same ingredient we all see in skin care worth 50 and 300 dollars may not be one and the same. How pure and potency of each ingredient is not measured even though it listed the same ingredient. Some extracts like what they use on chanel moisturizer is never going to be present on a 50 dollar skin care and who knows which among those ingredients contributes for it to work. Also when you are young you wouldnt have much problems on the skin to care for trying products and seeing specific results for specific problems. I never used skin care until it hit late 30's.
I, myself am a skincare and cosmetic nazi and am very educated on topics like this (due to suffering to bad skin), and after watching this video, i have mad respect for you. well done bro. you were articulate and clear. couldnt agree with you more.
Thank you so much!! This really means a lot coming from someone who knows their stuff, I feel really confident and have respect for you too! The support means everything 😊❤️
Totally agree. Loved your video. Thank you. Have liked and subscribed. Looking forward to your next videos.
I like that he didn't blindly slam luxury skincare brands. Some products from these brands are really good. I say educate yourself on the ingredients and understand that same ingredients don't mean same quality, know that for some people skincare is a sensory experience (lol) and some people just can afford it and don't mind spending it. Love Hyram!!
Hello Hyram I just found you here andd I'm so glad, this video my first to watch is so good thank you, now on to the next😘😘😘😘
Super helpful video! You really know what you’re talking about. I need to see your skin care routine!
Thank you boo! I need to film an updated routine video, thanks for the suggestion ❤️
Hyram you’re so welcome!! ☺️💖
I bought the La Prairie foundation in February 2019, it’s still 1/3 full and I use it often. I have never had a foundation work better for me than theirs. It doesn’t break me out either.
I think also the packaging and extracting/synthesizing processes also come into play at the price. For example, if one active ingredient can be extracted from bio-organisms but also be synthesized through automated reactions, the later would cost much less, but the former would play more into the "natural" hype. Plus the formulation is another area.
I'm obsessed with True Botanicals skin care. Love to hear you thoughts!
thanks for encouraging people to contemplate, escaping from our frivolous obsessions
I love almost all your reviews about skincare brand sooo much...! Please do review about Biologique Recherche ❤❤
I would say that luxury skin care is worth when we are mature. When I was under 25yrs even Nivea n Loreal worked for me....but as I age....n now 40+...Nivea does not work for me. So I use La prairie eye gel to fight puffiness ,Sisley serum n Sothys secret cream..combine w/ Obagi at night.
That's a good point! And luxury skin care tends to market itself towards more mature skin. However, I will argue that as scientific advancements have been made in the skin care community, cheaper options are becoming more legitimate, and the need for luxury cosmetics isn't required anymore. But if you love using Sisley and other high end brands, keep doing you boo! ❤️
It’s all about prevention. Many luxury lines are now making less expensive, less intensive products to prevent early aging. They’re marketed to people between 25-35
But the luxury creams like La Praire I feel so luxury...just like in the presidential suite feeling. Buying their products I get luxury facials. Those brands are so different n each brands have their best😍😅😅😅pls review Valmont Hyram...All the best😃
I agree..When I am 25 years old ,I don't see any difference la mer do to me. but now I am 34 ,I still look like 25 , so it dies a big difference.
@@Hyram Re-think about this when you are over 35.
I love all the products you shared in the video. When I purchase them I know they are priced relatively high. But I also know that when I use them I am satisfied with the results... not to mention, I work hard and I like giving some TLC to myself.
You gave a great opinion on luxury products and your delivery of it is well executed. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much Emma! You're so sweet. I think it's great that you love the products- if you can afford them, amazing! Keep doing you ❤️
Your skin is amazing! Glad I came across your Chanel. Thank you.
Aww thank you Mary! You're sweet
i have recently moved into sk ii 😝 i am 35 hrs a week worker too but i believe working 35 hrs a week makes me worthy enogh to buy luxury products for myself. lucky me i dont have kids yet. so let me just pamper myself when i can. i am buying la mer next fortnight. 😋. when i bought foreo my frens told me i have foreo in my finger tips bt what i believe is you deserve the best!!!!
I'm 48 years old and i tried various products over the years, both medium, to medium-high priced, and low priced as well... only when i got a sample of an eye cream of la-prairie i got to realize how Truly an eye cream could work.
There are ways of getting to use these products at a pretty economic cost- find a vendor that is willing to give you lots of samples when you buy there (even if you're not buying the high cost brand for starters).
Whenever i happen to indulge myself with a high priced product, i make sure i get samples from the same brand that can last me about a year long.
I combine high priced products with good lower priced ones, and rely only on my own experience and testing, not on any research.
Some products from a brand may work great for me, and others from the same brand may just be OK, or even not good at all,
it's all about experimenting for oneself.
Sisley Essential Skincare Lotion. I'm in my 40s. It's mind blowing the difference in my skin when I'm using it vs when I'm not.
you should talk about luxury products that doesn’t work (doesn’t have active/proven ingredients) vs inexpensive but quality products that actually Do work and that you would suggest/recommend
Could you review the Chanel Hydra Beauty Camellia Repair Mask? Chanel has a fancy PFA ingredient that I wonder is it really worth it?
I have tried cheap skincare products even the most sensitive; Eucerin, they didn't work out for me and I broke out so hard, I live in a high UV Index country so the cream irritated me even further. But then I switched to use a brand called "Biotherm", it actually helped, first of all; they are relatively the same price as Eucerin, I refill Eucerin every 2-3 months but for Biotherm, it usually goes around 6-12 months. And after I used the brand for 6 months, guess what? I don't even have an acne anymore, and my face glows! So cheap skincare products is a no go for me.
Hyram is literally the most sweetest person love u hyram 🥰🥰🥰
I am so glad to hear this, because I don’t have a lot of money. Broke 21 year old here. Working hard to make it big someday. (Financially)
Very well explained. I love your videos
I use lamer , what products is more inexpensive and I can get similar results?
I have used both drugstore and high end products over the years and I can honestly say that I cannot tell the difference between a high end product and a less expensive product. I suffer from slight rosacea and my skin becomes red after doing my skin care no matter what I use.
Thanks for the info! Personally the most important thing for me is SPF and that the product be cruelty free. Saludos!
Good thing is my skin is easy and cheap- I use k-brand for serum and drugstore moisturizer, which work good for me- but again what works for me might not work for others, my cousin skincare routine is expensive which work well for her compare to mine which only cost a fraction of her and have same result, but when she tried my skincare routine, it caused breakout.
Personally I think everyone skin have different needs, depend on the gene, life style and the condition. Tho' this is good video.
Thank you for the kind words! You're right, everyone's needs are different. I just hope people don't think they have to spend a lot of money to have good skin ❤
I used to buy anti-wrinkle serums and creams for around 30-50$. One time the shop consultant gave me samples of Channel La Lift and Sisley. Once I tried them I was super shocked how well they worked on my skin. And then I realised how much money I actually spent on “cheeper” brands and getting minimum results. I think some luxury brands definitely worth the price. And you guys should definitely get samples of different luxury brands just to see the difference between them and what you use now. In my opinion in the end it is still the same price. Now im using the cheeper once on my neck and breast area but for my face I want to spend little bit more
My La Mer products sitting on my bathroom shelf... 👁👄👁 edit: i never use them bc theyre so expensive
i completely agree with you! i have tried luxury skincare to mid way down the road and its all in the proven researched ingredients. lux skincare is all over hype. drugstore skincare...not all though! is where its at. the skin does not like fragrance synthetic or NATURAL all the over load of excess extracts and essential oils are breaking down the skin. thats why theres more and more ppl having sensitive skin. ppl need to go back to the basics and do the bare minimum. this whole korean trend of ten steps of skincare..which yes i tried, yes it hydrates the skin but down the line does affect your skin in a bad way. i had to stop EVERYTHING i was using and begin a simple routine of cleanser moisturizer and spf, and done. that all you really need, just find the right products that is meant for your skin type.
omg Hyram is that you in there??? You can really see a difference in his skin now!
Hyram, I’d love to know your thoughts on Biologique Recherche products. I get a little lost when reading BR ingredients lists.
I been using skII since college, SKII is worth it some of its product, the other ones I can't say much. SKII 's serum and their essence water is wroth it, and their eye cream. Other stuff like face wash, lotion is not. If one has budget I high suggest you to use eye cream, serum and essence water. Everyone I know in asia is using skII including my mother. She is often mistaken as sibling. Also sometimes it is better to just eat these things.. like sea weed is good for you and your skin so EAT IT. You are what you eat. Pig feet is really good for your skin, I make soups up to 4 hrs cooking time and eat it regularly. When I go to facial the employee rarely try to sell me any products. I drink a lot of water as well and eat these 4 + hr bone soup almost daily. Honestly I think just eating right will affect your skin more than product. I had a friend who consistently use product that contain tomato etc to help her , she could have just eaten tomato everyday and would get better result.
Sisley BR mask is a gem. Worth every $. But La Mer's broth has something in it that irritates my skin to high heaven. I think it's not for people with sensitive skin. But I also think that for very dry but not sensitive skin, their products are live savers.
Thank you. That's what I thought. Saved me so much money.
Well said Hyram! 👏
Hyram, I’ve been using the la mer eye concentrate from a sample. I would hate spending that much but I was wondering what would be a similar product for dark circles?
Luxury to me is my Neogen ferment essence. But I also have a gentle cleanser that’s $5. I think if you try and move past the price and look at ingredients you’ll get a mixture of prices in your skincare routine.
I will never forget when I bought a super expensive face moisturizer and it made my skin greasy and with micro-blackheads 😭
HYram, I would just LOVE if you would do a review of NIOD's Copper Amino Isolate Serum and their newer Copper Amino Isolate Lipid. I am DYING to hear your take on these two products as they are not exactly cheap but I typically trust the Deciem brand.
I really love your voice it's so nice to listen too.
Great video !! :) You just got a new subscriber lmao Keep up the good work !!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it 😄
Hey! I hope you can try Menard skincare products. I have been using them for quite awhile now and it is one of the most underrated skincare brand I have seen.
I have heard it’s to do with the way they make the ingredients more readily absorbable to your skin, hence more effective. I don’t know your guys, but my skin works great with Sisley but non of the drug store products after years of experimenting. It just have this magic touch on my skin when I use Sisley or La mer. I guess it is to do with my genetically less blessed skin type as well, so it responds well to luxury. I think if people are born with good skin, then drug store products will be enough for them. Sisley costs me a great deal, but I view it as an investment for my skin in the long term :)
Excellent video.
Many refer to the commonality of ingredients between luxury and drugstore, but it’s the quality of said ingredients that matters. A diamond from Walmart is made from the same carbon as a diamond from Cartier, but the quality of carbon is vastly superior. I also look at skincare as an investment and putting your best face forward is very important in this world.
When I worked for a high end line, I’d have these poor women come to me with terrible skin. They didn’t take care of their skin and now they’re suddenly concerned. If she had used preventative skincare her whole life, she wouldn’t have these problems. Unfortunately, there’s really no cream or serum that’s the fountain of youth.
Imagine what kind of amazing skincare products they’ll have out in 100 years. I drool.
Thank you! ❤️ I think there are benefits and disadvantages to non-luxury and luxury lines. My intention was to help educate people that just because a line is luxury, doesn’t mean it has the best products out there 😄
"Quality" of carbon? Do you mean the purity? As you said carbon is carbon so the atoms themselves have no quality distinction between other carbons (save for a little radioactivity). The elements around the carbons and their crystal structure are the deciding factors for the quality of DIAMONDS not carbon. Sorry... I get your argument, but the example was a little off. If we look at just chemical ingredients, most of the time its talking about identical chemicals regardless of where they're found. If you speak in terms of finished products, the purity of any given chemical is variable among them and thus can be measured against something. For many extraction methods and weird proprietary blends, we cannot consider it a single ingredient and it should be viewed as a product itself. Like when you see cheese in a doritos package there will always be a listing of what goes into cheese. Now skincare isn't regulated like food so they can get away with putting pretty much anything they want as an ingredient. I have an aloe product which contains a secondary product called "alosorb" and they get to describe it quite vaguely. The issue is I cannot look at the components to compare with others since the chemicals are not named.
Also I want to see your collection of skincare products! Can we get a walk thru of this ?
That video is coming soon! Already prepared to film, stay tuned 😘
Exactly my thoughts! I’ve spent hours researching the active ingredients but found out that the only high end products that have them are the organic ones and not popular ones, more like niche brands : Aesop, grown alchemist . The rest of the luxury names were like meeeeeh
tbh the Aesop face wash is still very drying on my skin 🙄
Loved the video and the information you shared. I totally agree with you dear.
Lots of love from uk
Thank you so much Sandra, I’m so glad you loved it! Thanks for the love 😘
Tks for help me!!
Kisses from Brazil 😘🇧🇷
Aright, Hyram. I love you. My mother and I have used many of these products (my mom swears by Sisley, and it shows because she looks SO much younger than her age without any procedure,) and I personally use the la mer. These products DO work, you just have to be consistent with them for one, and two, is it possible that just because the "well known" ingredients like niacinimide and Hyaluronic Acid etc. aren't in these products, does it mean that other lesser known/harder to come by ingredients can't do the same thing if not better?
They work. More complicated maybe than just "hyaluronic acid" and retinol (which are both great ingredients)... But there are more ingredients out there in the world than just those, I do know that seaweed IS inherently hydrating.
I feel like all this guy knows is niacinamide and hyaluronic acid! No hate, just saying.
Hyaluronic acid is way over hyped. If his basis behind his opinion is whether there's hyaluronic acid, makes you wonder..
I’ve used all of the brand you mentioned and while I find some not so worth the money, I really like and really enjoy using others. La prairie worked for me when I was in my early 20s. La mer was all right, but waaaaay overpriced for what you get. I find the formula to old and too generic, to be honest. However, I love Sisley and despite the eye-watering price tags, I feel like they are worth it. My skin after the application feels different and I’m still absolutely wrinkle-free, despite having just turned 30.
Finally sth honest and smart on this youtube.
Thank you! ❤️
I bought le prairie anti wrinkle sun cream. Anyone try this product? Reviews?
I agree with everything you say, however I can swear that Sisley Reparatice changed my life! I could only afford to buy two units and used them for over a year ( I would only need a very small amount) after that my skin had completely changed and moved to a cheaper moisturizer. I had a lot of skin problems and only Sisley helped me.
If you use Lidl's Cien you might be shocked that such amazing skin care exists at 3, 45 GBP!
Wow! Literally the first Hawaiian beauty youtuber! Look forward to more great videos from you!
Wong Smee haha Thank you! I know, there are NO Hawaiian Beauty TH-camrs here. So disappointing! I’m so glad you found me!
You certainly deserve more subscribers. Totally agree with you, but still kinda obsessed with la prairie and la mer. I am watching your perricome video. I think I am done with him. I used a lot of his products but didn't see any result :(
Wong Smee Aww, thank you so much! Hey, if those work for you, keep using them! I think that’s awesome :) And I’m sorry he hasn’t been up to par :/
Lamer actually works pretty good for me, especially when my skin gets irritated. But I love everything you use, Paula's choice is such a nice brand. And it's amazing that you talk about all different kinda subjects. Can't wait for your new videos!
oh yeah! please! thank you!
Have you ever looked into the Korean brand Saranghea?
Could you make a video about ZO skincare? It literally removed my freckles, evened my skin tone and removed acne. It has the similar (if not better) results as like an IPL photofacial but it’s so expensive and I want to find the bootleg version but it doesn’t have exact specific ingredients on the products
I think a lot of time it's also about the fillers inside the products, not just the key ingredient. Sure luxury brands can use a miracle or secret ingredient to advertise, but they won't be cutting corners with other ingredients by putting say something like ethanol or artificial fragrance or silicone. They would use maybe essential oils, or just keep the natural fragrance of the key ingredient. And it also depends on how people's skin react to all these products too I suppose. If someone has ultra sensitive skin and has tried almost everything available at the drugstore, I think it's fair they try the luxury route too. I guess it really depends on each person's skin at the end of the day :)
You're absolutely correct! One of the prime reasons people enjoy luxury products so much is because of the fillers- many times they're smooth, creamy, and smell nice because of the use of silica, essential oils, etc. And while some people react to drugstore, I think that people can find drugstore solutions for sensitive skin rather than feeling that they have to purchase luxury. In my opinion, people purchase luxury cosmetics for the way it makes them feel. It's luxurious 😊 Very good points!
Please tell me: what do you think about Sisley?
Can you please review Sisley Ecological compound moisturiser and Keihl's moisturisers and other products. We would all save a whole chunk of money if you review them please. Lots of love from England xx
Looking for advice on which affordable skin care products I should buy. Particularly looking for an eye cream for sensitive skin & a facial SPF that does not leave a white cast/is chalky & isn't greasy because that's a horrible feeling & awful look! (Thank you in advance!!! 🖤 🖤 🖤) My current eye cream dried out my skin around my eyes. (I found it on Amazon. It's $10 & it's by a brand called Kiss Red E. I didn't hear of this brand until recently, but it has good reviews & it's affordable, so I thought I found something good for me.) My skin around my eyes now burns & is flaky because of this product. (I'm not bashing the product because it's still gentle enough to use on my forehand wrinkles twice a day. It just doesn't agree with the sensitive skin around my eyes.) I'm 31 with dry, sensitive, fair skin with freckles. I'm trying to get rid of dark spots, get rid of & prevent wrinkles (I have a couple wrinkles on my forehead.), even out my bumpy texture, hydrate my skin (It seems like every time I wash my moisturizer off of my face, I'm back to being dry & tight. 🙁), get rid of & prevent acne caused by massive amounts of stress which I just started experiencing, & block the sun's radiation (UVA & UVB), so dark spots, signs of aging, uneven texture, dry skin, pimples caused by stress, & SPF. Thank you so much for reading this!!! 😍 If you can recommend products, please remember I have sensitive skin. Thank you so much for helping me out because I have no clue what I'm doing & I'm probably using a lot of irritants. 😟
So smart!!! I completely agree
Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
Thank you for having a good knowledge base before doing this video. Your IQ is refreshing!!
Aww, thank you! I really try hard to do a lot of research beforehand- it means so much that you recognize that 💞
Can you tell me if the more expensive the skincare, the more potentially irritating it is? I think I heard from one of your more recent videos that this is the case, but I can’t find it anymore. A friend who is short on money has been convinced La Prairie will solve her problems (skin caviar) and she’s gone out and bought it but her skin’s still not happy. I’m trying to point her in the right direction with evidence.
Hi, can you please share a list of products that you approve of with your affiliate links? Like a simple google doc would do :)
Hi Hyram :) Do you try the SPC cream of SWISS PHARMACY COSMECEUTICALS sell by Swissrevelation? I'd to have your opinon. On my skin it has really good effects
I use la mer , skii , CPB, first aid beauty, skinceuticals. Be honestly, I like La mer and Skii, also skinceuticals,but not CPB. I wrote down the date at each skincare product bottle and calculate see how long a bottle would last , then figured out how much cost per day. And it turns out it's cheaper than people drink Starbucks everyday . So I like use drug store brand and also luxury brand mix, I see the results of my skin not only just judge the products by ingredients.
love your channel!
Thank you so much for the love Romy! ❤️
😩😩🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼thank god I found u love ur videos
Awesome video, love it. 💖
Thank you for the support!! ❤️
I used $90 cream , now i am at eucerin and loving it
I do agree with you that the prices of the "high-end" products are obscenely jacked up. There was one exception though. La Prairie made a skincare line for men. To this day, I have not used anything even remotely close to how their face wash and aftershave balm performed. This is well before skincare for men became a thing. Sadly enough, it's not available anymore because no one bought it. I use an $18 face wash and a $22 aftershave milk that actually comes close. It just goes to show you there's no need to spend hundreds of dollars for something that 50 or 60 bucks can do. That's for wash, moisturizer, and eye gel. Sisley does have a great product for men, but the price is obnoxious.
Could you please do review on Chantecaille? I bought already some products from them and was never disappointed.
