Nadine, I agree every time you turn around someone is recommending a new product. I have been a holistic master esthetician for over 35 years and the fact is the skin is the largest organ of the body and the easiest to care for. Feed it , don’t cover it up with tons of make up, wear a wide brimmed hat in the sun and a zinc oxide or titanium dioxide sunscreen. Also eat foods that help your body and your skin. I don’t believe in invasive procedures BUT if someone chooses to do them, get your skin in shape first. No product will work miracles if you do not use antioxidant skin care and if you are not consistent and on a regime. Anti aging is possible🙌🏻 beautiful skin is possible 🙌🏻 it has been my life’s work. I enjoyed your perspectives very much. Thank You 🍑🙌🏻Lisa

Any specific and scientifically backed up reasons for recommending Titanium Dioxide or Zinc Oxide sunscreens rather than a chemical one? Also, what makes you say that skin is the easiest organ to care for? I really do not think you can compare organs to each other, especially as skin is the only one that is exposed to the elements.
Out of all skincare "influencers" I trust Nadine, Sali Hughes and Caroline Hirons the most for their honesty, integrity and their experience/research behind their recommendations. Sadly I feel like youtube are only promoting those who are unqualified/young/trendy demographic getting more views and subscribers. Thank you Nadine for everything you do (the garnier spf is my holy grail sunscreen now!)
@@maureenparker4721 what do you base your opinion on? She knows what she is talking about and when she is working with a brand she gives full disclosure
I simply don't understand why you don't have more subscribers !!! You are hands down my favourite beauty youtuber. I'm 42 and with following your advice my skin looks the best it's done in years. Thank you Nadine xxx
Yes, she really should. She is so knowledgeable being in the industry. I trust her advice! She was one of the first beauty channels I started watching a few years back when I discovered TH-cam.
Agree, Nadine is GOLD. I recommend her and a couple of others to 'young don't have a clue' viewers who happen to comment on other channels to go watch ladies like Nadine and learn something truthful and helpful.
As a “more mature lady” I appreciate your wisdom Nadine. I am guilty of over working my 57 year old menopausal skin but have now stripped down to a more basic routine and my skin is recovering and improving. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us al 😘
I just wanted to say thanks for the great advice as always. After your video on products for stressed out skin, I decided to try the Hado Labo Gold. I had been using The Ordinary HA, but it didnt seem to be making much difference. The Hado Labo arrived mid February, and I have been using it every day since, morning and night. It IS a complete game changer. I have lines and wrinkles, quite a few since I'm nearly 63 and have had no procedures or facial treatments at all (plus I've lived and laughed ..... a lot!) so I wasnt expecting much difference to be honest, but it really has de-stressed my skin in this short time, and made it feel less tight, and look a lot smoother too. I love its gloopiness and it glides on beautifully and doesnt leave a sticky after-texture, nor does it pil when I apply moisturiser on top. Thanks SO much for your advice. Can I also say that I have been using the Superdrug Vitamin E cleanser for years and years, and it really IS a hero product.
Did you ever find a dupe/replacement for your Bobbi brown eyeshadow you use for liner? Would love a video on your fav products that have been discontinued and the new versions/ replacements you now use instead xx
You are so right - I am working on reducing my skincare steps. I will not replace when I have used several of my serums up. Besides cleansers and sunscreen all I need is : ABC - Vit A (retinol/Tretinoin), Niacinamide, and vítamin C 😀
I've taken advantage of this whole lockdown and started tretinoin. The first six months were hard. The peeling, the flaking, the redness, at one point I've even got a retinol burn, which sucked. But now, eight months in, I am free. My skin has finally made peace with the tret and we're going to live happily ever after!
The Hada Labo Alpha is a bit lighter for daytime or sensitivity and the Premium is more rich and intense for evening use. Pyungkang Yul toner is brilliant for extremely sensitive skin and has a million uses. Fab HG product. My best cleanser by far is Sum:37 Losec Summa as a 2nd cleanser. Super high-end luxurious formulation and works amazingly well. I let it sit on my skin (avoiding eyes) for 10 mins to let the magic happen. I use basic EV olive oil for 1st cleanser for stubborn makeup.
Nadine, I'm sure you can stick with Tretinoin! If you are flaking copiously and can't bear the side effects, * ease into it* ! Even if it means you have to do it ever so incrementally. Honestly, even if it means you start out once a week and mixing a tiny bit of it with moisturizer in the palm of your hand, you must get on the Tretinoin bandwagon and you won't regret it! It's sinful that the beauty know-it-all has yet reap the benefits of it! I know Tretinoin is notorious for the "ugly phase" that often lasts months, but I promise - unless you have some sort of severe sensitivity to it - you can bypass that phase if you take it very very slowly. I started out with once every 5 days and used half a pea-sized blob in with a ton of my moisturizer, and now, 7 months later, I'm fully acclimated to it. I did have a flakey phase, but that's because I got impatient and just zoomed up to doing it more frequently, but prior to that - no flaking.
She made it very clear here and been saying it for years that she's not willing to use Tret on her face... why would not you respect that instead of trying to talk he to something she does not want?!
fantastic - thank you Nadine! You've just made the skincare routine super simple with very clear explanations! I am soooo pleased that you've mentioned some budget buys which we can buy at Boots or Superdrug, although I am tempted to treat myself to one luxury product!
The end of this video was so important, thank you. It makes so much sense now. I have clarity. I need to be certain to have the basics, but add in salycilic and niacinamide for acne prevention, peptides for antiaging, and pigment inhibitors. It's a lot to juggle but worth it, but I can do this. Seems so simple when you explain this
Thanks to you, I too have simplified my routine like you recommend. As I’m getting older I do not want too many steps. Once a week I do the good genes just for a exfoliation step. Love this!
Paula’s choice was my first retinol I ever tried and it did wonders for my skin. Now I use tret and I kept the PC 1% retinol has an eye cream and I love it!
Navigating oneself through the confusing mind field of skin care can give anyone a headache but if anybody is going to give clear information about it’s Nadine.👏
Ever since I found this channel I've literally been making notes on what you recommend. Used CeraVe which I liked but moved to Cetaphil for oily skin but its the hyaluronic lotion Hada Labo which is the most refreshing thing I've ever used on my skin! Using Neostrata with retinol mixed with a hydrating lotion.
Brilliant video as always :) Totally agree with the tret peeling though. I've been on it for 2 and a half years (every night) and I still get it. I occasionally get it near my eyebrows and under my beard and it can instantly put me in a bad mood before work. I totally understand why people don't comply with it.
Lovely video Nadine. I will try the garnier spf and the ahc moisturizer. Can you pls do a video about alternatives to hyaluronic acid. I do have oily dehydrated skin and tried many hyaluronics over the years but they just.....don't work. I bought the polyglutamic acid from superdrug the other week and miraculously is taking care of it. I'm in shock as how something so cheap can work on my skin so fast. Thanks. X
Your perspective and advice is always so valuable. Thank you for this very clear description of a solid, viable skin care regimen. I think I may be able to clear away quite a few extraneous products that I really haven't been using but felt I needed to have, if that makes any sense. again, thank you.
I do vouch strongly for the Medik 8 Crystal Retinal range. Have worked my way up other retinol products and now through retinal and really pleased with the results plus minimal/nil sensitivity.
Dr Sam's Flawless cleanser & Flawless Light Moisturiser & Flawless Nightly, Hada Labo cleansing oil and Shirojyun lotion, plus Canmake Mermaid sunscreen. These are my staples that stay in my routine. Other things tend to make guest appearances!
Love love love your latest holy grail video!! I love the Elizabeth Arden retinol ceramide capsules but their not very purse friend can you recommend an alternative?? Are there separate products that would work similar?? Thank xx
It's not drying, unless you have a specific sensitivity to denatured alcohol. Look up Lab Muffin Beauty Science, she did a video in which she debunked this myth.
Excellent, thank you so much as ever Nadine. I changed my routine months ago to your suggestions & my skin has benefitted hugely. Face is rounder due to too much munching in lockdown sadly but that's another story!
I found your description of how you use Retinol very helpful. I typically use prescription but do get dermatitis so i may just cut back to a brand one instead. Thanks x
100%, afther using cerave cleanser, Hada Labo is amazing, and prescription Tretinoin is amazing, change my skin to look amazing. My SPF is Altruist 50+ for face is amazing and at very good price and morning Altruist dry skin cream is perfect. I never had such a nice, fresh skin 😍
Nadine - I have been "binging" your channel- Im a "mature" girl from the Midwest (US) Please dont forget to let your American girlfriends know where to get your produce choices. I love your content you and Jo are the "real deal"
So agree Nadine with use of retinol. I hate the shedding.. no sensitive red skin but makeup looks awful and working in cosmetics not a good look. I go in cycles and with all the other acids I use I feel my skin looks a lot younger than 52
My issue is pigmentation...ugh! I agree with a retinol over the counter is best for me too. I've never found a vitamin C that loved so I've been very inconsistent in its use daily. Sunscreen is a must for me everyday, with lupus and Fibromyalgia, I've unfortunately become sun intolerant 😕 😫!
Thank you for simplifying the skin care steps, I always overthink the steps. Can you do a every day make up routine please. Your makeup looks so good and skin like. Thanks in advance x
Hi, I regularly order my Hada Labo from reliable Japanese ebay sellers. It normally takes around two weeks to arrive but is a good price and the genuine article.
I've just started with Skin+ Me Tretinoin; I felt it was time to have some prescription retinol. Interesting to hear you don't! Ahh well, will see how it works for me
Oh Nadine I feel so good knowing I use some of those goodies you showed!! Looking 4ward to the return of the Beauty Hags series - fingers x'd!!! Oh can I ask your opinion on enzyme peels please???? xoJoanxo
Hi Nadine, lovely video! May I pick your brain on something please? I have sensitive skin and I am loving the Cera Ve SA cleanser... I tried the hydrating one and after a week my skin couldn’t really handle it. Do you think I should continue using it or is it possible it will sensitise my skin? Thanks in advance!
I had used the Paula’s choice 1% 4 nights a week for over a year, then they added dimethicone couldn’t work out why I was getting new pimple every morning I used it. I wish they’d go back to the no dimethicone recipe, I don’t need the slip and I don’t need pimples.
Only just discovered you, Nadine - so helpful and REALISTIC! But I'm panicking now, as I've started to use Skinceuticals CE Ferrulic and there is NO WAY I get through it in 6 - 8 weeks (more like 3 -4 months) just using it once a day. Their website says 'All SkinCeuticals antioxidant formulations have been tested in final packaging and have been confirmed to remain stable and effective for 36 months, and up to 6 months after opening' They also say oxidation is minimal and the formula remains effective. Help!
Love your straight talking videos. Just wondered why a gel moisturiser as opposed to a cream moisturiser? I have a natural cream one with hyaluronic acid in it (Angela Langford) should I still use a separate hyaluronic acid?
Great simple skincare routine 👌 Would love to try the Fenty hydra visor sunscreen but for some reason it’s only spf 15 here in Australia, so not bothering with it. Why the strength difference between countries?
Hi Nadine😊 Great video as always, thank you. I use the Timeless 20% Vitamin C. I remember you did a video awhile back, where you said that if you use a Vitamin C with a high %, then it should be used at night. What would you recommend? Day or night? Thx and take care🌷☺️
Hi Naddy😊 I live in Denmark, so I bought it on a Danish website. Sorry it’s sold out😕 I am really loving it. Hope it comes back in stock soon👍🏼 Have a nice evening☺️
Love your content. I’ve ordered the Haddo Labo. Wondering if you have an alternative to the Boots Hot Cloth Cleanser for those of us who don’t live in the UK
Great video thanks very informative Please could you recommend an every day moisturiser for teenage boy with the odd spot ,blackhead but not acne. Using la Roche posay effaclar at the moment Anyone you think may be more effective and possibly cheaper but efficiency more important. Thank you in advance 🙂💕
I am having such difficulties including c-vit to my routine since I get the tingling peeling effect even mixed with moist. I have not tried so many though, do you have any tips on a good starter c-vit - or is it the one here in the vid that you recommend even for beginners? Your vidz are always amazing btw
I came to the conclusion, as you did with prescription retinoids, that vitamin c doesn’t work for me. They all irritate my skin. Within 3 weeks using it, my face is red, bumpy and very dry. The funny thing is, I use a very strong prescription tretinoin from Curology. It’s true that skincare is a personal journey for discovering what works for us.
Becky, I hope you don’t mind my comment? Many times what you are seeing is old damaged tissue coming up. We do most of our damage before the age of 21-22 years old, so for the rest of your life you are doing more damage but that damage is always coming up or the skin becomes calloused over it because we’re not taking care of our skin properly. When you begin a regime that exfoliates or starts to remove that callous layer, think of 30 extra thick layers, you will start to see things come up and sometimes that can be flaking or bumps or irritation when that happens just care for the skin more and once you get through that process your skin will be amazing. Also if you wear foundation and concealer‘s or bad skin care or sunscreen, you will just inhibit the healing process and you will make it worse. Said with love and kindness. I’m a holistic master esthetician of over 35 years and it’s my passion. Love to help 🍑🙌🏻Lisa
Hey Nadine! Did you try Fenty Skin Fat Water Pore-Refining Toner Serum?? It is selling really good at Boots and got some great reviews.. any thoughts? Thanks
I really like Sunday Riley'sA+ High-Dose Retinoid Serum a lot. I got the RX but I just could not stick with that. It was too harsh for my sensitive skin. I like the texture of the serum and it doesn't irritate my skin. I only use it once a week. I should probably use it more. Thanks!
Hi can you start with the paulas choice retinol, if not can you recommend a good one to start with please, like you i have slightly sensitive skin that can be prone to excema thanks
Not sure if you will see this but I just cannot get an answer anywhere. Can you tell me why when I use retinol I always wake up with huge visible pores which I don’t get rid of? Am I doing something wrong?
I haven't had a notification for your last 10 videos even though I have them switched to all videos. I was just watching James Welsh and he mentioned hyaluronic acid and I thought why haven't I seen nadine on TH-cam? 🤔
The Boots near me is open, but the Superdrug is not. The Superdrug does not have a pharmacy counter - which may be the reason. I think it depends on the size of the store and where you live. x
Would LOVE an in depth review of the r-Retinoate Intense. Fairly certain that Medik8 and Verso are alone in using the novel molecule, and I'd love to know exactly how you (and others) feel it compares to traditional retinol or retinaldehydes.
Please can you recommend a amazing mineral spf that won't pill for combination skin types my eyes stream with chemical spfs x I love the the bareminerals skin defense but it is very pricey and only a spf30... Xx
Hi, I have combination skin as well and for the past few years have been using Etude House Sunprise SPF 50 - a Korean brand. It works really well and is available from Yesstyle & Amazon or reliable ebay sellers (I have a couple of favourites for K beauty). I also use a Japanese sunscreen by Canmake but am not sure if that is a mineral one, it certainly doesn't irritate my skin.
So nice to hear a simple, straightforward routine. There are toooooo many products now and tooooo many people stressing about 8+ steps 😁

I've just started with Skin+ Me Tretinoin; I felt it was time to have some prescription retinol. Interesting to hear you don't! Ahh well, will see how it works for me
Oh Nadine I feel so good knowing I use some of those goodies you showed!! Looking 4ward to the return of the Beauty Hags series - fingers x'd!!! Oh can I ask your opinion on enzyme peels please???? xoJoanxo
Hi Nadine, lovely video! May I pick your brain on something please? I have sensitive skin and I am loving the Cera Ve SA cleanser... I tried the hydrating one and after a week my skin couldn’t really handle it. Do you think I should continue using it or is it possible it will sensitise my skin? Thanks in advance!
I had used the Paula’s choice 1% 4 nights a week for over a year, then they added dimethicone couldn’t work out why I was getting new pimple every morning I used it. I wish they’d go back to the no dimethicone recipe, I don’t need the slip and I don’t need pimples.
Same
Only just discovered you, Nadine - so helpful and REALISTIC! But I'm panicking now, as I've started to use Skinceuticals CE Ferrulic and there is NO WAY I get through it in 6 - 8 weeks (more like 3 -4 months) just using it once a day. Their website says 'All SkinCeuticals antioxidant formulations have been tested in final packaging and have been confirmed to remain stable and effective for 36 months, and up to 6 months after opening' They also say oxidation is minimal and the formula remains effective. Help!
Love your straight talking videos. Just wondered why a gel moisturiser as opposed to a cream moisturiser? I have a natural cream one with hyaluronic acid in it (Angela Langford) should I still use a separate hyaluronic acid?
Great and straight to the point!
Great simple skincare routine 👌 Would love to try the Fenty hydra visor sunscreen but for some reason it’s only spf 15 here in Australia, so not bothering with it. Why the strength difference between countries?
Hi Nadine😊 Great video as always, thank you. I use the Timeless 20% Vitamin C. I remember you did a video awhile back, where you said that if you use a Vitamin C with a high %, then it should be used at night. What would you recommend? Day or night? Thx and take care🌷☺️
Timeless UK still sold out on vitamin C with ferulic. Where did you buy yours? Can’t wait to replenish my stocks!
Hi Naddy😊 I live in Denmark, so I bought it on a Danish website. Sorry it’s sold out😕 I am really loving it. Hope it comes back in stock soon👍🏼 Have a nice evening☺️
Thanks Mia and crossed fingers we get the product in stock soon here in the UK. Have a great evening too!
Love your content. I’ve ordered the Haddo Labo. Wondering if you have an alternative to the Boots Hot Cloth Cleanser for those of us who don’t live in the UK
Great video thanks very informative
Please could you recommend an every day moisturiser for teenage boy with the odd spot ,blackhead but not acne. Using la Roche posay effaclar at the moment
Anyone you think may be more effective and possibly cheaper but efficiency more important.
Thank you in advance 🙂💕
Hi Nadine, could I use Alpha H liquid gold once or twice a week if I’m using 0.1 tretnoin? Obviously not on the same nights
Do you think it’s worth adding in an essence, or are they a waste of money? I’m looking at an Elemis one but it’s £60!
I am having such difficulties including c-vit to my routine since I get the tingling peeling effect even mixed with moist. I have not tried so many though, do you have any tips on a good starter c-vit - or is it the one here in the vid that you recommend even for beginners? Your vidz are always amazing btw
You have beautiful skin. May I ask how old you are? I take good care of myself but have sun damage from when I was a child (before I knew better.)
I came to the conclusion, as you did with prescription retinoids, that vitamin c doesn’t work for me. They all irritate my skin. Within 3 weeks using it, my face is red, bumpy and very dry. The funny thing is, I use a very strong prescription tretinoin from Curology. It’s true that skincare is a personal journey for discovering what works for us.
Becky,
I hope you don’t mind my comment? Many times what you are seeing is old damaged tissue coming up. We do most of our damage before the age of 21-22 years old, so for the rest of your life you are doing more damage but that damage is always coming up or the skin becomes calloused over it because we’re not taking care of our skin properly.
When you begin a regime that exfoliates or starts to remove that callous layer, think of 30 extra thick layers, you will start to see things come up and sometimes that can be flaking or bumps or irritation when that happens just care for the skin more and once you get through that process your skin will be amazing. Also if you wear foundation and concealer‘s or bad skin care or sunscreen, you will just inhibit the healing process and you will make it worse. Said with love and kindness. I’m a holistic master esthetician of over 35 years and it’s my passion. Love to help 🍑🙌🏻Lisa
Mine is just another take. I respect Nadine very much.
Do you think there is a difference in using an bottle/pipette type acid apposed to a toner/cotton pad acid. Which do you prefer and why?
Hey Nadine! Did you try Fenty Skin Fat Water Pore-Refining Toner Serum?? It is selling really good at Boots and got some great reviews.. any thoughts? Thanks
Hi , thanks for the lovely video , have you ever tried the truth retinol?
Brilliant advice 👍👍👍
Definately gonna give that fenty sunscreen a try if you rate it
I really like Sunday Riley'sA+ High-Dose Retinoid Serum a lot. I got the RX but I just could not stick with that. It was too harsh for my sensitive skin. I like the texture of the serum and it doesn't irritate my skin. I only use it once a week. I should probably use it more. Thanks!
Hello
Hi can you start with the paulas choice retinol, if not can you recommend a good one to start with please, like you i have slightly sensitive skin that can be prone to excema thanks
Not sure if you will see this but I just cannot get an answer anywhere. Can you tell me why when I use retinol I always wake up with huge visible pores which I don’t get rid of? Am I doing something wrong?
Can you recommend a good moisturiser with spf for rosacea prone skin please? Thank you so much. X
I noticed you don't have an eye cream, when would you add it at all ?
Perfect summary !
Hi, thanks which 0.3 or 0.5 retinol would you recommend ?
Hi Nadine love this video, but would like to know where you purchased the Sweater ? Lol Xxx
Love your jumper. Where is it from please?
I haven't had a notification for your last 10 videos even though I have them switched to all videos. I was just watching James Welsh and he mentioned hyaluronic acid and I thought why haven't I seen nadine on TH-cam? 🤔
I just turned 60. What would you recomend?
Do you have a favorite sunscreen for when you are not wearing makeup?
Question about SPF 50: it will not protect all day long, will it ? It’s difficult to reapply over makeup ...
no, you need to reapply frequently 😂😂
Hi Nadine. I hate with a passion aplying spf and wonder what your thoughts on a spray face spf ?x
I just want to get back into a Superdrug or Boots 😭 anyone else?
Me too! I just can't trust the pictures online for foundation and concealer colours...
But you can.they are open
I’m going to both tomorrow Getting dressed up too lol 😂 well why not .. Both are open hun xxx
I've just been to Boots and Superdrug this morning! All open
The Boots near me is open, but the Superdrug is not. The Superdrug does not have a pharmacy counter - which may be the reason. I think it depends on the size of the store and where you live. x
Would LOVE an in depth review of the r-Retinoate Intense. Fairly certain that Medik8 and Verso are alone in using the novel molecule, and I'd love to know exactly how you (and others) feel it compares to traditional retinol or retinaldehydes.
Please can you recommend a amazing mineral spf that won't pill for combination skin types my eyes stream with chemical spfs x I love the the bareminerals skin defense but it is very pricey and only a spf30... Xx
La Roche Posay 50+ liquid/fluid is soooooo lovely and light. Clinique does a version too
Hi, I have combination skin as well and for the past few years have been using Etude House Sunprise SPF 50 - a Korean brand. It works really well and is available from Yesstyle & Amazon or reliable ebay sellers (I have a couple of favourites for K beauty). I also use a Japanese sunscreen by Canmake but am not sure if that is a mineral one, it certainly doesn't irritate my skin.
Color science is exceptional 🍑🙌🏻
cannot get the Hada Labo Tokyo Super Hydrator Hyaluronic Body Mist in the US, any suggestions
