- Heyyyyyyy,
So i'm finally sharing my skin care story! It took a while to find some pictures of me from back in the day! But I hope this sheds some light on what my skin condition was. Sure I didn't have terrible acne, but my skin was enough to warrant a visit to the Dr!
This is how I cured my spots, got rid of dark spots and hyper pigmentation and helped control my oily skin!

Remember that skincare is extremely personal to everybody's skin. What works for me, may not work for you. But I hope my videos give you some good ideas for products, techniques and Ingredients to try.
Also, i'm obviously not a dermatologist or a doctor, so all opinions on products and anything else i'm presenting, is results and findings from my own experience and research.
And that's why i'm here, to share my research and my findings that go further than what is said on the bottle or google!
But, everything I present is always a discussion for you to join in with :)
If you have any serious skin concerns, please see a dermatologist / doctor.

Just wanted to mention, I used to think sun bathing and going into the sun without sunscreen would 'clear and dry up spots'....which it didn't. Which is why i'm tanned in the first pic! All that did was made my dark spots darker and my skin drier. I completely forgot to talk about my bad sun bathing habits, but I feel its important to mention!
I really liked the concept of this video I really didn't know you from the picture you've really change bro to the best😊
Hey James.. can i use tretinion and vitamin c together? And im in my early 20 ..
Very nice bro it gives me a hope 👍👍and which ingredient is better for removing red spots plz recommend me 👍
love the pikachu cushion ❣️
Hey James , very brave for showing your teenage pics. Skincare is a journey and you have really come a long long way. Really appreciate your work.
I pray that we all of have a skin glo up like this
I see your comment in every video.. like seriously...
Is it me... Or you comment everywhere😅
Amen.
U actually comment on every single video I've ever seen
A-fuckin-men
y are u everywhere?
Damn bro your skin is like a fine tofu
LMAO
Lol🤣
lol
hahaha
Right😩‼️‼️‼️
people often don't get my obsession or wonder why I disappear in the bathroom every night for 20 minutes but skin care is such a nice hobby to me!! it's relaxing and honestly I don't feel bad anymore for spending so much money on it because I know that i'm going to enjoy every second of using it :)
ooh yes i agree! pampering yourself is a nice way to wind down.
Hi i have some blackheads on my nose and on my cheek but i have dry skin on my cheeks and get dandruff on my eyebrows sometimes along with some whiteheads and some small tin'y bump pimple like things on my forehead while i have some acne scars from zits i had on my chin and one on my cheeks what do u think i should get from cosrx or any brand bha or aha? I am 18 and dont normally do stuff to my face other then nivea cream as my face gets really dry even in summer and my nose unless i am sweating in the heat. I normally only get tiny zits on my chin or cheek and once in a few months i think my skin is mainly dry or combination but as i have gotten older went from really oily to really dry, should i get originals aha bha peeling solution or bha from cosrx, what products do u recommend? And my cheeks are usually really red my mom says its rosacea but idk ,in the sun my skin geys sunburnt easily too
@@aena5995 i think you have fungal acne. Check out the video of liah yoo (another youtuber who talks about skincare) about fungal acne. I hope you would also find product recommendations for your skin type from there.
Aena Mustafa Yes I agree, seems like bacterial or frungal acne. Try a dermatogolist here on youtube called Dr Dray.
This is so me haha. My familg especially my mom just don't get it why I do skincare. Your reason literally explain everything in a brief.
James:**Is identical twin**
Also James: imma blur up my brother's picture
me: ._.
Loooool!!! 🙈 he didn’t want me showing that pic of younger him, when I edited the video! We have loads of videos together though!
🤣🤣😭 same
Hahahahahahahahahahhaahahah
I came here to say just that. Hilarious! hahahaha!
Seriously i am thinking the same
The Pikachu in the mirror is kind of creepy... I feel like it's watching me
its Mimiku! and he is watching 😱
😂😂😂😂 ahh i just noticed.
Fuk now I am scared too
I was listening so intently and suddenly saw it and got spooked 😆
Damn I hadn't noticed it😁
I’m honestly gonna be 100% honest, I always had this bitterness of a thought in my head when I’ve first watched some of your videos; I kept telling myself “He never had worse breakout, he’s genetically blessed etc”. This video shed some light regarding that matter and I honestly feel ashamed of myself for thinking that, probably because I have lots of acne and I needed to vent out emotions and put people down to make me feel better. This video made me realize though that whatever tips/tricks/information regarding skincare you are talking about it is based on your personal experience. This shed some light. Thank you.
Hey! Thanks for being honest. I don’t blame you for thinking that. In general, it’s pretty difficult to trust TH-camrs who talk about products a lot as it can always look sponsored or like we are trying to push sales! There’s a lack of honesty. I would say if someone is just reading stuff off a bottle, rather than telling you their personal experience with the product, they’re probably just trying to make a sale!
@@JamesWelsh thanks for giving a difference. Means alot
Is this what we call 'Character Development'?
The Glo up is real. If James can do it...we can too!
Love your comments on NBA videos Mr.LeBeautiful
You and Liah Yoo are my skin care gurus now.
More like my dermatologists 😅
I like Liah too
Watch Beauty Within too!
Dr Dray is an actual dermatologist and I’ve learnt so much from her!
and gothamista
Well safe to to say your skincare 'obsession' paid off. As your skin now looks great..
It almost looks airbrushed, it's so clear!
Hey James! I'm Ryan Little. Thanks for using my song "flew da coupe." in your video. I'm honored and glad that you liked the music. Much love, bro.
Awwwh bromance
I was lucky enough during my teenage years because I rarely get pimples. Now I am 24, and oh man, im BREAKING OUT like crazy all of the sudden!!!
I'm 20 ,and I understand you, I don't understand what happened to my skin xd
It happened to me in my early 30s after never having acne before.
I had clearer skin before like no bumps at all but I would occasionally get one pimple but it will eventually disappear days later (I also didn't have any skin care before) then I started using products and that's when I started breaking out now my whole face is filled with acne 😭
TH-cam Account OMG SAME!!!! I hope I just left my face alone :(
Wow this is me lol fmd
Wow people say "Stan EXO for clear skin" never thought it would be LITERAL
LOOOOOL! OMG!!! Actually though haha! 😂😂😂😂
😂
it’s tru tho🤩🤩
It's true tho
im dead lmaoo
I know this means nothing to anyone but this guy literally gives me hope in life.
Me too
i'm glad he makes you happy :) that means something to me!
Yes your skin looks like the ones of Korean celebrities I see on tv
I’ve had acne and hyperpigmentation on and off ever since I was 14 :(... I’m 19 now and still struggling really badly. I pray we all clear our skin permanently from this year onwards ✨
I’m 19 too. I turn 20 next month! I have wildly sensitive acne-prone skin. My main concerns are acne, redness, and acne scars. If I had to place my skin in a category, I’d say it’s combination. My skin is usually normal, but sometimes it can be dry(particularly on my cheeks) and other times it can be a little oily(particularly on my temples). I’ve finally started to clear up my skin with this routine:
AM:
Rinse face with water
Secret Key Aloe Soothing Moist Toner
Cerave PM Moisturizer
Krave Beauty The Beet Shield
If it is particularly cold and windy or my skin seems extra sensitive, I will apply the Krave Beauty Great Barrier Relief before my moisturizer.
PM:
Krave Beauty Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser
Secret Key Toner
TO Niacinimide and zinc 1%
PC Azaleic Acid Booster
Krave Beauty Great Barrier Relief
Cerave PM Moisturizer
Every five days, I exfoliate with the Sanitas Gentle Refining Mask.
Other masks I use 2-3 times a week:
I’m From Honey Mask
I’m From Mugwort Mask
FAB Instant Oat Mask
The Body Shop Aloe Sleeping Mask
I'm your 100th liker☺
Heyy im 15 rn and ive been struggling with that for 3-4 years now.. umm since ur that age then try the ordinary niacinamide and if you want you can go for a laser treatment to treat the scarring.. or maybe microneedling
Same here 😭
Omg me too, I started having acne at 13/14 and my skin cleared a lil bit in 2018 but it came back even worse in 2019. I started birth control the beginning of this year and now I am 18 and have no pimple in sight, just a few dark spots which are clearing as well
'in gonna blurr my identical twin' s face from the photo, I don't think he'd want his face up'
looool! 😅
"identical"
They are still separate people 🤷🏻♀️
I recently got a lot of acne after having good skin for most of my life. I realised that hormones don't care about your skin routine
Suruchi sinh your age ? Because hormones affects differently as we age.
And stress, definitely stress as well.
This is true but a good skincare routine can definitely help with scarring and stuff. Also, most people age out of hormonal acne at some point and you want to have the best skincare for when that happens.
@@lindarobison726 I wish. Every month is a B still. 30 yr old.
I had bad breakout at 36 (struggling still) - maybe cause by stress (currently studying), hormones? And the worst part I decided to change my skin care products at this age 🙄
I was also one of the people thinking that you must have always had good skin! Thank you for being so real with us 💖
its been hard work haha hope you liked the video :)
You should do a series where you help a subscriber clear their skin through your product recommendations 🙏🏻🙏🏻
That’s kind of a risky thing to do . He probably wouldn’t take that risk
Hyram might, though🤔💕
I’d sign a “no fault” agreement 🙋🏻♀️
Your story is literally same as mine. I was an avid picker and I couldn’t leave my skin alone. I always has dark spots. I’m 25 now and my skin is so clear, praise the lord!
I didn’t know skin could be this clear.... 🤯
James Welsh gets bad comments? But he’s just so precious.
Anyone notice his voice is so much deeper in this than newer videos?
Elizabeth Earle had me howling, and I don't know why. This is honestly soooo good to watch though as someone who has basically always had acne!
I was the opposite I had clear skin for most of my teen years and didn't start breaking out until a bit after I entered college. I think I was 19. Maybe it was stress related
mimika961 totally relate
Me too! Rn I’m 18 and the is the first time I’m breaking out
Me too! I'm going to be 24 and I started breaking out at 19 when I started working in the city. Stressful job, high levels of pollution. Ugh.
lowkey really scared this is gonna happen to me
Me too, I started at 20 and still struggle with it till this day I'm almost 24 and I wish my skin would go back to how it was, I spent my teen years with clear skin so it drove me crazy starting to break out late which I didn't understand why
I dream of having James Welsh skin 😭
Soo glad I can watch these videos and know the advice is 100% genuine
I’ve loved every product he’s recommended
I can’t wait to have glass skin. He’s so inspiring
How’s it going to far?
@@sk.3k it was amazing , but I’m pregnant now and the hormones destroyed me lol
It’s okay tho , it’s a blessing just comes with the territory for some people lol
@@simplytitanium7919 great to hear it was good! And congratulations for your pregnancy!! I wish you and your family the best of luck but also may I ask what was your skincare routine?
@@sk.3k thank you ! I have so much post inflammatory hyperpigmentation to deal with in 3 months 😭
I was using the Krave cleanser , Cosrx snail mucin essence , dr ceuracle essence (2 essences so extra I know lol) , beauty of joseon calming serum , goodal vitamin c serum , and differin gel as a spot treatment. Sunscreen I use the Clinique tinted one. On extra dry days I use the krave great barrier relief ❤️
@@simplytitanium7919 np and tysm! Take care ✨💕
Honestly, your skin had such a beautiful transformation. Nowadays you're easily one of the most attractive people on TH-cam, and your advice is great and easy to follow. I've subbed in a heartbeat, and I wish you good luck in delivering such insightful content further down the line! 😁
It is so crazy how you went from imperfect skin to perfect. It is insane. It looks like you have never had issues with your skin. It’s so nice and smooth.
I want mine to be the same. My skin texture is so so bad and so uneven I hate it so much. I have acne scars pretty much all over. It’s so frustrating. I just want perfect skin. I keep trying oils and natural care products and it just gives me more break outs sometimes. I did microneedling one time and it seems like I barely barely change a bit. So many things and I see no chance. It’s so red so oily, scars. Dark spots. And so on. Geeez.
😩😩😩😩😩
Look into Korean/Japanese skincare
I recomend going to a dermatologist
Before I went there my skin was like *h o r r i b l e* cystic acne, infections blah blah
She gave me an acne medication and it was life changing lmao all the acne and scar were gone
Microneedling is not a one time thing! Try doing it once a week for a two or three months.
Same, the only thing that helped me is stop stressing about everything in life (causes hormone imbalance) and drinking nettle tea every day. You can put all your money in skincare but the solution is cope with stress and clear your liver and kidneys with nettle tea.
Oh my god your voice has changed so much! :O
Ikr😶
Can you please make a video on skincare for acne and dark spots
Ken Kennedy yess
The ordinary regime on the deciem website got rid of mine!
Xela Karzlan I’m going to try it especially since it’s affordable thanks 🙏
Im using TO niacinamide now, what else do i need? Can u help me?
Xela Karzlan what did you use && what is your skin type?
ahah, I'm turning 32 next month and I always say "I'm SO glad camera phones and social media weren't a thing yet...NO EVIDENCE of terrible early 2000s fashion"!!
Yessss!
When your identical twin doesn't want his embarrassing picture up but you literally have the same face, the cats out the bag Robert, lol
😃
I've been into skincare for about a year and a half and I've been seeing results. But obviously, there are many things to be "fixed" (like hyperpigmentation and bumpy marks) but seeing your example I know I just have to be patient and consistent with it.
And thanks for being so real and showing pictures and everything. I'd never EVER show my teen pictures, so I really appreciate what you've done here.
Your throwback photo! 😂 Clicked right away. You inspire me so much to take care of myself. ☺️
looool. The gel in my hair 😂😂😂
I really like how you talked about how long it took you. I’ve never had extreme breakouts but I used to pick at them a lot in middle school when I was anxious (which was like all the time) and now, as a college student, I have weird texture and lots of dark spots. I’m just starting out in skincare and I was starting to get discouraged, but this helped me realize that this is a long game. I may not see the results I want for a couple months or even years, but I will see them eventually.
Even if I didn't prck my zit left it alone it always leave a mark..
Just randomly clicked on this older video and wow your voice is so deep here!!
My skin is so much better from my teenage years. I used to use the nuetrogena grapefruit cleanser for acne and THAT WAS IT. No moisturizer. No sunscreen. No lip balm. My skin was incredibly flaky and oily. I did that for years. 🤦♀️ It was a mess.
The grapefruit cleanser highly irritated my skin. Got really bad acne after that
Ouuuch. I tried that once years ago and i actually used a moisturizer. Maybe not a good one though. Knowing me probably a very light one or mattifying one. I could only use it for a few days because my face hurt from the dryness, so I cant imagine doing what you did lol
Omg I used that cleanser once and it took me like 3 weeks to fix the extreme dryness. :'(
Wow, that voice though, his skin isn't the only thing that's changed.. it's kinda like reverse puberty 😆
You and your brother are a serious dream team, so happy to have found you guys. Total game changer for my face, so much love. Oh yeah, you two (three) are HILARIOUS too! Total package, we're so lucky to have you guys
Thats because of the kind of software he is uploading whit. He explained dis in a q&a video. I had to look if i had the write video because of his voice. Because i wast watching yet😂😂
your accent is evrything 😍
haha thanks!
Scouse accent
Yeah it’s a pretty basic English accent 🤷🏽♂️ I’m from Hampshire so we have the most basic English accent
It’s not scouse haha
YESSSS, love his accent! Dang, it is everything!
Man I gotta wear shades to watch this guys videos, his skin is literally radiating through the screen. Very impressed.
Thank you for sharing you're story. It's crazy that even today there is so much misinformation regarding skincare. Especially when it comes to teenage skin.
I've suffered with massive pigmentation since I was in my early teens. My face and my back are insane. Being mixed I also felt that I got spots after acne no matter what. Forward now to 26 and I'm obsessed with skincare and I run out fast cause I use vitamin c etc also on my back. If I can one day see myself without a mark on my face I'd cry. This video gave me some hope ❤
Wow I just stumbled across this old video of yours . Your voice is so deep! Xx
I’m happy to know that teenagers these days are so lucky to have people like james who post anything skin care related.
You've really taken it from a tough situation to perfection, so happy I found this channel! Learning so much!!💙
OK, honestly, I would not have pegged you as any older than like 27.
You look fantastic and MORE IMPORTANTLY, your energy is so positive and vivacious! You really seem like you are healthy and active and happy - good for you! I love seeing it 😁❤️
Bad flashbacks to astringent and my “genius” final step to prevent breakouts and matiffy (as well as bleach all my pillowcases): Clearasil benzoyl Peroxide Spot treatment spread thinly over my whole face 🤦♀️ needless to say, after a few years my skin became over-sensitized and now, even 8-10 years later, any contact with benzoyl peroxide makes my skin red and hot and itchy.
"Awful picture of me"? 9:32 . I swear, at that time you could ask me to marry you and I would!!! You look like an actor ❤
I THOUGHT THE SAME!! He DID look like an actor!!
When you started talking i was not watching yet. And i thought i had the wrong person. When i looked it was you James. And than i remenberd a video were you did a q&a and you explaind that your voice was deeper because of the upload 😂😂❤❤
This video makes me feel like there are hope for my skin. I´m 27 and been on vitamin A medication for about 4 month and my acne is finally almost gone. But have Alot of hyperpigmentation after all the years of acne. Just found your channel 2 month ago and it has really helped me find out what products do what. Am still confused but starting to understand more. So thank you so much!
I just love how you and Liah Yoo educate people about our skin! Cheers to more informative videos 🙏🙏🙏
Watching your video gave me hope that my skin can still change 😭
Don't worry dear 🤗
The title should be “How EXO saved my skin”😂😂
I was so surprised and proud when he mentioned EXO 😂
Stan EXO for clear skin hahahahaha
Literally 😂 His pimples and dark spots were gone... As well as Kris, Tao and Luhan😭😂🔫
Tu Abuela Oof why do you have to do that?!?!
what is EXO :( where do i get it
How did you get rid of your texture on your forehead? I get a bunch of those pesky bumps.
Sme here
It could be fungal acne
Ashley consistent use of salicylic avid
I used to have the same, i used the ordinary retinoid 5% it cleared my skin COMPLETELY in 2 weeks however i saw results within the first 3 days.. You have to be on point with sunscreen tho, i also used aha + bha 1x a week and it give me INSTANT improovement (my skin is combo/oily not sensitive)
@@LauraGonzalz the peeling solution? Hi i have some blackheads on my nose and on my cheek but i have dry skin on my cheeks and get dandruff on my eyebrows sometimes along with some whiteheads and some small tin'y bump pimple like things on my forehead while i have some acne scars from zits i had on my chin and one on my cheeks what do u think i should get from cosrx or any brand bha or aha? I am 18 and dont normally do stuff to my face other then nivea cream as my face gets really dry even in summer and my nose unless i am sweating in the heat. I normally only get tiny zits on my chin or cheek and once in a few months i think my skin is mainly dry or combination but as i have gotten older went from really oily to really dry, should i get originals aha bha peeling solution or bha from cosrx, what products do u recommend? And my cheeks are usually really red my mom says its rosacea but idk ,in the sun my skin geys sunburnt easily too
Korean skincare really does work. I've been using it and if i stick to it my skin clears up. I have a problem with consistency which is why my skin doesnt look like yours yet. I neglect myself a lot. Its a struggle of mine to just stick to a routine even if its only 4 steps. I am trying to make it a habit
What are products you using?
I'm glad that you mentioned the hyper pigmentation after getting spots in some of your videos . In my teens and early twenties it wasn't an issue so much but has recently become a problem in the past 5 years and the healing takes forever now. And thanks to you and Hyram I finally started an actual skincare routine which didn't exist outside of soap and water. I'm so glad I finally began to invest in some nice products and am seeing results finally.
I actually can relate to this. Seeing glow up on yourself is really satisfying and glorifying in a way. ♡♡♡
100% agree with you James! When I was at my young 14-15 my skin was pretty the same as yours. Btw I've used Zynerit just like Robert but I threw it away. It was really bad for my skin. The truth is that morning and evening routine, healthy sleep, food and water ARE my magicians! After 10 years of fight with the pimples now I can say I'm happy with my skin. I use Oriflame's NovAge skin routine that includes everything from cleanaer through serum, and three types of cream and I'm happy with my oiliness too lol
It was great to hear your journey to healthy skin! Keep inspiring!
Wow. James. The glow up. I need that gloowww. Serving looks stunting pretty.
I feel like I can extract some water from your skin. Soo moisturized. Love it.
Now this is a full skin care journey video! 👍❤️❤️❤️
Your voice is so different, this actually sounds like a healthy and resonant production
no fr his voice is so deep in this
been there, done that too, let's just celebrate it being over! I am so glad there is so much more education on skin care available nowadays, people passing it on like you have definitely played a huge role in ending my suffering haha
yessss we are so lucky to have the kind of skincare and knowledge available
This gives me hope for my skin
Thanks for keeping it real. Getting into skincare has helped me stop picking my zits.
I love this and this just proves that everyone have been through struggles even though it doesn't look like it. I love your mom's skincare routine advice and I just LOVE your skin hehe....
I had very oily skin as a teenager and in my twenties. Now that I am 64 and people think that I am in my early 50s. I am grateful for it.
This is actually soooo inspiring and gives me so much hope!
Love your story! My daughter is 15 and just started getting spots. I am so grateful to you and other wonderful, honest and genuine TH-cam
S sharing your own experiences. Her skin story is so much better than it would be if we didn’t have you to turn to. Sincerely, one happy teenager and one ecstatic mom. ❤️❤️❤️
Omg the glow up... i had the reverse, i started going hard with kbeauty routine and got the worst breakouts in my whole life :( but it might have been coincidencial, or just not the right products. But thank you! You are so educational!
Hi James!
I can completely identify with your story. I used to have bad skin, and that was the catalyst for me to completely dive into the world of skincare, Korean practice and products.
Korean skincare has completely transformed my skin, in fact for quite some time I was discovering products and loving them - and I had no idea they were Korean brands! I have friends joke with me on how extensive my routine is, and maybe spending a little too much on products..but then at the same time, they will give me wonderful compliments and ask for tips :)
When you struggle with your skin for so long, it feels amazing to then get compliments on how nice it looks and questions asked on what I use. Working hard on getting my skin in good shape and seeing the results is one of the best things I've ever felt and has done wonders for my self esteem.
Your skin is so lovely! Thank you for sharing your story I can definitely relate!
I’ve been watching Robert as well as James and after my Robert binge James’ voice sounds so deep
Not that I didnt trust your opinions before but your skin story really helps me use your tips practically for myself. It can be hard to navigate all the info about skincare online but a video like this makes your tips feel more like they come from an irl friend who’s skin I’ve seen than just any youtuber chatting about random products. Skincare journey videos should be mandatory for skincare youtubers! Love your content, James 😊
Love that mimikyu at the background, especially her looking at us from the mirror reflection
Hi James! I think it's great that you even considered making this video for the haters out there. No one should have to explain themselves when it comes to things like this. I for one am grateful that you're sharing what you know with us and i don't need to know if you've had spots or acne before. Most people have. So i guess i just wanna say thank you for your hard work and your willingness to share with us in such a humble way. Keep doing you boo!
Loved to see this! It really shows you know what you're talking about, you've been through it!
aw thank you!!
Yes!! I love going through the skin care journey where you said when you get an acne scar, you'll know exactly what to do. I've always believed that once I find that "perfect routine," I wouldn't have to deal with those marks but that's sooo false. They'll show up regardless but it just feels easier and I know what I'm doing. Another great video James! ❤️
Shook to find out James is a k-pop fan, I just like him even more now
skincare is the only thing that i don’t mind spending a lot on even though i don’t need to. i love it so much
Thankyou, u always remind me to take care of my skin, since im always tired i always forgot skincare, btw Med student here, :) keep it up!! ❤️❤️❤️
I am obsessed with skin care too! (Hair care too) I’m nearly 50 and still have break-outs. So glad I stubbed across your channel. You’re fun to watch. You gained another subscriber.
Heyy James! Love your content!! Glad to see another guy like me obsessed with skincare. I'm waiting for my glow skin package I ordered, can't wait!! Can you please make a video on fine lines under the eye caused by retinol damage? Overall under eye skin care. How to get rid of fun lines under the eyes! Pleasee doooo!!! Thank you once again for AMAZING content! ❤
Wow, you've changed so much. I remember when I was a teenager with oily and acne-prone skin, I was so self-conscious that I used to apply my mother's foundation on my face, it was horrible, I didn't know what I was doing, and my family didn't care about my problems with acne, so when I turned 18 I booked an appointment with a dermatologist, she was very straightforward, she prescribed me a bar soap with sulfur and salicylic acid, a sunscreen for oily skin, and Epiduo. Most of my acne cleared up in just one month, I was so happy... then my obsession for skincare began.
Watching this in 2020, your voice here is sooooooooo deep compared to today 😂
Lol this was a problem with my video editor! At the time I didn’t have enough subscribers to care to change it 😂
Your voice is this is so different in this vid to what it’s like now. Like you’re doing an impression of someone. Glad you’re more yourself now.
my fav thing is mimikyu staring at himself in the mirror tbh
Conceited little bastard he is
your skin now issa bomb 🔥 im freaking out what brands/products i should use for my skin to look better like yours, ugh i wish it never have to be this hard to achieve a glowing skin
awwwe, your so handsome in your photos. I'm so glad and proud that I had stumbled upon your channel. you've helped me clear up a lot of my hyperpigmentation and keep my skin clear. I was using so much harsh products on my skin, instead of soothing and calming, brightening products. I dont use clay masks 4 times a week. only when I need too and I love niacinamide and rice extracts.
Hi James, absolutely love your channel. I had really bad spots as a teenager (I’m now 37) and then full on acne in my mid-late twenties. Like you said, there just weren’t the products around back then (or even the internet in the case of my teens! 🙈) so I used products like Oxy10 (don’t know if you remember that?!) and used sun beds excessively to try to ‘burn off’ my spots! In my late twenties i tried every product or acne pill I could find and finally came across laser treatment at a skin clinic in Nottingham as a last ditch attempt to get rid of my spots. It was horrendously expensive but it really helped heal my skin and they introduced me to products with proper ingredients and explained that I needed to replenish and heal my skin rather than constantly strip it. Since then I have been obsessed with skincare and I completely relate to all your experiences that you talk about in this video! People never believe me when I say I had horrific acne which I have to take as the biggest compliment knowing what I went through.
Finally the age I am now I am finding my oily/acne prone products aren’t hydrating my skin enough so I’m looking at more moisturising ingredients. I’m just about to order the rice toner you recommend and want a new moisturiser/sleeping mask for the evening.
Thank you so much for all the information you provide on your channel, your glowing forehead is my inspiration! X
You sound so different now compared to your new videos!
I discovered Korean skincare just over a year ago and it has done wonders for my skin. In a matter of months my oily dehydrated skin was clear and so much more even. Using cosrx chemical exfoliators was a game changer. In 2 weeks I noticed a huge difference. My skin now is better than it has ever been
I hope I will get this glow up in the future. I just started my skincare routine (yesterday). This video really motivated me yay
Pretty amazing. A lot of people think it's just a matter of genetics and that skincare products are a scam. Last few months using Korean products mentioned here has transformed my blotchy skin.
"...all friendly, slightly possessed-looking, smile from ear to ear" LOL
The pixels from the before and after pics, definitely much better technology we have nowadays 😆 also skincare 😍💕 I have learned so much from you and my skin is finally clearing up 💖💕💖💖💕💕
Is it just me or is James’ voice so much higher in timbre now ? (In 2021/2022)
I always think exfoliating every second day is too much and will ruin your skin but looking at your skin gives me hope!
"slightly possessed looking" jajajjajjjaahhajaja XD
How true it is though 😂 lush people scare me
Lmaooooooo
Here I am at 19 with the worst skin of my life. Thank you for this video. I definitely needed it. ❤️
