I found the Tatcha oil too expensive and oddly drying. Now I use Hada Labo cleansing oil for my first cleanse (on Amazon it cost less than $11.00!) and their hyaluronic acid cleanser as the second. I also use their hyaluronic acid serum. It’s a great brand. I’m so thankful TH-camrs like you spread the love on K-beauty and J-beauty. It’s helped me save a lot of money. Alas, nothing works like alternating between DE Framboos and prescription Retin-A to fix the nose area. But I’d rather spend my money on treatments rather than something that’s only on my skin for a minute.
Yes! To everything you just said. Love Hada Labo!!! Yes to getting in on Amazon! Yes to K AND J Beauty! Yes to spending money on TREATMENTS! Great minds. ;)
Elle I can't tell you how thankful I am to have found you. Like a good student I took down every suggestion you make and will be checking all your fabulous dupes out and making purchases. You care so much for us, your devoted fans and those just discovering the magnificent Elle Leary! It is so evident you want us all to look as beautiful and be as healthy doing it as possible. I can tell you put so much love, hard work and time into this video for us. I know it took a long time to research, compare, test, get your detailed notes together, film and present this. So many many thanks and much love girl ❤❤❤❤
Love the Hado Labo Cleansing Oil (Japanese beauty rather than Korean). It is less expensive on Amazon and you can also get refills for the bottle which are very economical. A bottle lasts forever. Hyaluronic acid is a hydrator and only works if you immediately apply an occlusive moisturizer on top of it to seal in the moisture. Cheers.
@@eratocalliope8199 it’s really really good! I pair it with the Heimish green PH cleanse (tube) as my second cleanse, so good. Both last me 6+ months. I’ve just tried the Aurelia miracle cleanse as recommended by Wayne Goss, it’s …. nice, but prefer Heimish balm, it gets more off. I’m almost out of the green cleanse so might use up the Aurelia as my second cleanse. Trying not to over purchase products before others are used up. I have norm/dry skin, 55yo.
*UGGHHHH* ! You're such a *DOLL* !!! I seriously can't express how much I appreciate this video. Well I absolutely love all of your content but this one just came at the perfect time, gave me everything I needed, answered all of my questions... 100% perfection! Thanks you so much, Love! You're channel has done so much for my skin and confidence. I appreciate everything you do on here. Thank you!
I love the Hada Labo Gokujyun Lotion. It’s not really a lotion it’s very watery but it’s the first product to ever truly hydrate and moisturize my severely dry skin. I use it as an essence or toner.
Mama Malaika I am a huge fan of the Hada Labo line!! I’ve seen such a difference in my skin! I use the foaming cleanser as a second cleanse, their lotion and skin plumping gel! Going to try the cleansing oil next!
Elle, Thank You for the wonderful reviews of our products! We are all so thankful that you choose us as one of thousands of great skin care companies out in the world. Your kind and through reviews will never be taken for granted I assure you. Wishing you the best and keep on keeping on with your great videos and helping to put so many indie companies on the map, so to speak.
I get most of my Korean and Japanese products from RoseRoseShop online. I have never had a problem with shipping or getting items months later. I highly recommend them. Their products are also much much cheaper than most Korean and Japanese resellers. An essence I’m using is the Missha Time Revolution essence which is a dupe for the SKII essence. The snail mucin essence is also amazing!! Mizon has great snail mucin moisturizers for the face and eyes and they are also great. Timeless has a good vitamin c + e + ferulic acid for under $30 which is a dupe for a skinceuticals vitamin c that’s like way too expensive. I don’t know why I haven’t seen more of your skincare videos. I love skincare. Xo
I think I've been living under a rock! I stumbled a crossed your channel about 2 weeks ago and I am HOOKED!!! Elle where have you been my whole life!!! Love, Love all your videos! SO informative!! Keep them coming!! I'm in! Hook, line and sinker!! Just awesomeness!!!
I would love to see you do a video of the order in which you would use these products evening and morning. One of the absolutely BEST video's produced. Thank you!
I can't thank you enough for this video...and want to make sure you really know how much your hard work and dedication is appreciated by your subscribers! I have recently been displaced (😜) for my husband's work to a high desert climate after living in the Deep South for 40+ years (pretty much 1000% humidity at all times) and now suffer horribly from dry skin...and have heeded your constant warnings about hyaluronic acid but desperately needed an option! Thank you so much for offering those in this super helpful video!!
Yes, Kbeauty junkie here. Korean skincare is my holy grail. I'm using many korean skincare products. They're really good. Cosrx Snail mucin is one of my favorite product. Acne patch from COSRX is good (the red one) especially for big acne.
Been watching your videos all evening I'm going to try nay brow pencil you use and look more into elf products trying to update my makeup I'm 56 and your dupes are so helpfully as I wouldn't be able to afford the expensive ones I normally wear ester lauder full coverage double wear which I like but trying lighter shades at moment and looking at primers I have a red tone and fair and dark under eyes which I've always had trouble with but some of the concealer you have used look as they could work I use a brush to put my foundation on but you use sponges is that a preference thankyou for all your advice ,
Thank you for the affordable options,,,I was so happy to see that you endorse a couple products that I have been using a couple months...I can say that Maelove glow maker is awesome, and the cosrx products are just amazing...for people on a budget, these items are a godsend for us mature ladies. I have used them long enough to say that they deliver....I do want to add that Missha has a cleansing oil that is beautiful and removes every drop of makeup and has great ingredients at 22.00. And it last a very long time, so you really get your money's worth...I do use retin A, and medical grade products around my eyes. I also want to mention an essence by Missha called the revolution is good also...very much like water and sinks in the skin right away. I am loving the k beauty products now and I was using the ordinary serums. Hope this helps someone reading my comment...xoxo
This is one of my favorite videos, Elle!!! I cannot imagine the time it took you to find and test these. There are some amazing finds I here!! I used Tatcha Essence for about 4 months, then switched to this duo of Cosrx Galactomyces and Snail Mucin Essences. They really are excellent, and especially the Galactomyces is a wonderful dupe!! I've been using those for about 4-5 months and have had really great results from them. Cosrx is a great, clean, reasonably priced KBeauty brand. They sell some products through Ulta.com, some are in select stores as well. I have also found their Honey Ceramides Cream to be wonderful for dry/dehydrated skin. I don't think you could go wrong with Cosrx at all. 😊 I haven't tried Garden of wisdom, but have heard wonderful things. There's a newer brand, you've probably heard of Peach and Lily at Ulta. It is excellent! Great ingredients, very clean. It more of a mid range price point, but absolutely worth it as well. I can't wait to try Lumene, thanks for those!!! Always learning about so many great products and companies from you Elle. I love that we try to support smaller businesses in the Elle Squad. You're the best!! 😘😘 ❤ #ellesquad ❤
I love, love, love the Farmacy Green Clean! It may sound expensive at $34 for 3.2 oz. but it takes just a very tiny amount to cover your whole face and neck that it really isn’t that expensive at all considering how long a jar will last. And it smells soooo good! Elle! I am so happy to see you promote a DHC product! I have been using some of their stuff for more than 20 years and they have some great products. One of my favorite face washes is their Face Wash Powder. Very inexpensive and a bottle lasts a long time. It is so mild on my face and has a luxurious creamy lather. And I was using their Velvet Skin Coat as a makeup primer long before any other cosmetic companies even thought about primers. It’s not just Walmart that have 3rd party sellers who are not always on the up and up … Amazon also fits in this category. After searching for a long time for my HG Vitamin C serum, I have finally found it and it is one I have never seen any of the youtubers talk about yet. I get it from nufountain.com and all they make is Vit C serum. They have several formulations and make it up fresh when they receive your order. It is very affordable and they make it even more affordable in that if you purchase 2 bottles you get the 3rd one free. I would love for you to do a review on their products. It should be noted that there are two skincare lines called Garden of Wisdom. One, I believe, is out of Arizona. And one that I was using I got from Victoria’s Health in the UK. People need to be aware they are not the same. Oh my! I apologize for rambling on … I do so appreciate this video and your willingness to do all the research for us! And I want to thank you for the recommendation a while back for the MUF Water Blend Foundation. I got a bottle of that and I LOVE it! Not full coverage by any means, but I love how it feels like nothing on and does give me a medium coverage. My new everyday makeup for sure. Thank you!
peachy75019 it's my fav as well. I just bought almost the full line because everything I've tried from Farmacy has been incredibly great for my skin. 💗💗
Thank you Elle! Have really been enjoying clean November. As I have been getting older my skin is dryer and more sensitive. I'm not particularly sensitive to essential oils, but alcohol, phalates, parabens, silicones, sulfates are a definite 👎 👎. You are really doing us a service and saving us big bucks in the long run from constantly showing up at the dermatologist with skin issues. For which I am sincerely grateful. xoxo Annemarie
I was looking deep inside of the internet to find dupes for skin care and it is harder than I thought! So I found you THANKS GOSH! I love your video and I already subscribe to know more about skin care. Thank you so much for sharing all this with us, I can't imagine how hard it is to do all that! You look so amazing! Thank you thank you thank you! I wish all the best in your life! A kiss in your heart and thank you again!
Wow. That was fantastic. You are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to good clean skincare. Thank you for all that research. I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say we appreciate you sharing this with your TH-cam followers.

You had to really do your research and spend a lot of time weeding through products to come up with this list, and I cannot thank you enough!!!

I LOVE Garden of Wisdom. I found them years ago when I started researching skin care, ingredients and clean skin care. The ladies are just so sweet and helpful. It's a wonderful company with awesome, affordable products. Their acne products made such a difference for me. The Oxygen Rich Gel is fantastic for blemishes! After I had my son, my skin cleared up so I haven't had to worry about blemishes in a while but I ALWAYS had a bottle of the Oxygen Gel on hand when I used to get hormonal breakouts around the chin/jaw area. The have so many great products...I could go on and on lol. Glad to see you enjoy them as well 💖
Great job of researching more affordable products. I’m sure that was a lot of work, and I want to thank you for it. I, personally, respect your knowledge of the products you talk about.
All your time and effort researching this for us is greatly appreciated! ❤️. I’ve saved this tutorial and have already gone back to it several times. You’re my favorite gal! 😘
Just watched this vid again, Elle! What a great, well thought out, thorough video. Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time to use more affordable products that compare with your favorite expensive ones. Love your teaching spirit!
Been missing you Elle, so going back through videos I’ve not watched yet! Love this one and will be trying out some of these dupes! Thanks so much for your hard work and research, I so appreciate the effort but into these videos! Much love! 🥰
YAY!! So happoy you found the Lumene brand Elle! I have been using their skincare since they started in the US. I use the 'Valo' line. Love, love, love it.....has kept the wrinkles at bay! :))
Elle, I LOVED this vid 💞💞. Really appreciate all your hard work and thoroughness sooo much. Such a pity Mae Love isn't available in the UK but the alternatives you found are fantastic. Thank you, thank you, thank you xxx 💕💕💕xxx💕💕💕xxx
Going back in time some from when you filmed this one but I am so grateful for the research and education you give in your videos. I did not know about the hylaronic acid pulling moisture from my skin if there is none in the air. Anchorage is very dry in the winter months, my heater is on constantly. Thank you soo much! Love from Alaska
This might be long so I apologize in advance. I live 4 miles from where mass shooting happened last week. I, my family, and everyone I know was safe, but other families lost a loved one. Within 12 hours, we were in escape mode because of fires. Would we have to leave or not? Twice, the fire came within a few miles of our house. We did not have to leave and are safe. When you can look out your front door and practically see the firefighters, it changes your perspective. God bless them. They are working so hard risking thier lives to protect mine and I will be forever grateful. Watching your videos today just what I needed. Something "normal" that I enjoy. And my skin care regime has taken a back seat this last week😉, so this was perfect. Thanks again for all your knowledge and experience. And let me finish by saying, yes, some bad stuff happened, but I have witnessed the good in so many people. There really are hero's all around us. Take care! ❤
@@ElleLearyArtistry Thank you so very much. Now, it's just getting my mind to process all that happened. We are very blessed and very lucky, but 💔 for so many others. 🙏
Thank you so much for doing the research on more affordable and green products for us. Girl you are almost to 100,000 Subs, I'm so excited to see you grow. I've been with you since you had only 20,000 or 30,000. Here's to a early congrats. :)
Love, love, love this video!!! Thanks so much Elle for educating us all on skincare and the the best products. I value your quality videos and find them so helpful. I really appreciate you and your time. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
When I think of what I've spent on anti-aging products the past 30 yrs (I started as a teen), I think someday it will be cheaper for them just to sell us a new face. :)
@Margot R I definitely didn't start aging until much later. When I was 40, everyone would think I was in my 20s to the point it was annoying. At 41, my husband and my mother both died, so grief and stress (have 5 kids) definitely started aging me fast. I see it now. But I say start young and avoid sun damage, which I got my daughter on preventative care and sunblock every day by 13/14 yrs old.
@@betsybabf748 I'm so sorry you've lost your dear close loved ones. I never took care of my skin or hair, and now I totally regret it. I'm 42 now, and I've been caring for my skin a little while. I hope you have had the assistance you've needed with your children since your life altering experiences.
Yes COSRX!! Thank you for including K beauty brands! Snail mucin essence is a holy grail in South Korea and there’s a reason why. Thank you always for all your information!!
Love this video - so much valuable information. Thank you for getting us dupes for the high end products. I would love a video on start to finish using these dupes. I want to make sure that when I get these dupes I know which one to put on first to the last. Thank you
"Oh Elle, bless your heart...you work very hard for your viewers and I really appreciate it...as I'm sure everyone will agree!" You're such a beautiful lady and so knowledgeable as well as honest. You also give great reviews, and I love your video's as I LOVE all of your content on this channel. Thank you again Elle and have great week, I'll see you soon...Ly! xoxo
Can you do a tutorial showing exactly how you prep your skin before foundation and which products please? Your skin always looks so glowy and beautiful.
Thank you so much for this video! I know it takes a long while to cultivate all the information, plus trying out the products. Your dedication to helping us find great skin care and keep within a budget is appreciated! 😘❤️
Glad you put options out there. The snail mucus I don’t think I will ever try! Lol. Thanks for the video and all your hard work that you put into it. 💕
Hi Elle....I just ordered from Garden of Eden! My hubby of 45 years and I will try it out! Thank you for the great tips. I have been a Skin Ceuticals gal for a bit....at 165 dollars a pop! This is more affordable and worth a test drive. You are so kind to take your time to research and test everything.....your skin is beautiful too! Again a million thanks to you!!! You are truly blessed with your teaching gift! :))))
Thank you, Elle! COSRX makes a sunscreen that I adore. It is Aloe Sun Soothing Cream SPF 50! I have ordered it over and over. I almost don't need an additional moisturizer because it is so moisturizing and I live in CO too. Great video, thank you for the great suggestions! Kathleen
I am addicted to your channel base on the fact that you’re so honest! Any suggestions on a good sunscreen that won’t interfere with makeup? My skin problems are large pores and texture. Thank you.
Aww Elle,even though I’m not commenting much atm I had to to,these videos are so important when ya have not got a lot of money coming in.The work & research you put in for us is a big thumbs up from me.As always you look glowing,much love 🌸💕👍🏻🌸
Love to see these dupes - I'm excited to try some of the products you talked about. Really appreciate all the work you did research and testing products.
Wow. Thank you so much for all this great information. You are such an excellent communicator & I’ve been learning TONS from you over the last few months!! 🙏
You are the bomb when it comes to flawless skin and knowledge of skin!! Seriously, your skin glows and your makeup was gorgeous too. I am overwhelmed however with all of the options. Being 50 and living is the cold dry midwest I need guidance. What are the basics from this list? 💜
thanks love! this is a much longer and more in-depth question lol I would need some background to say for sure. but I do have a video on the essential ingredients for every age range. Check it out in my "all about skin" playlist xo. I would say stay away from HA since you live somewhere dry xo
I love skincare Sunday! My favorite oil cleanser is Bare Minerals! It’s just soo good! But it’s expensive I’m gonna try the Maelove! Great products Elle Thanks for sharing
I had to go back and watch this one. U are the best with all the time and research u put into these videos. I really appreciate it. It can get so overwhelming when it comes to skin care. I have so many products. Im not sure if i should use vitamin a and c everyday
Excellent Skincare Sunday! Thank you for all the time, research and dedication you put into your videos aka your lessons. It is much appreciated. Fantastic information.
I asked you about the Lumene brand a while back because they are affordable. You said you would check to see if the ingredients were clean. I tried the beauty drops with vitamin c and I really like them. But I always want to hear your thoughts on products now. So thank you so much for this review ! I hope you and your family have a great week!
Personally I use use the Garnier Micellar waters for makeup removal; the pink cap for my eyes (which are VERY sensitive. I dont use water proof mascara though), and the blue cap (bi-phase) for my face. I had the DHC oil cleanser and it does not fully remove long wear foundation or eye makeup.
Hi Elle, Just wanted to let you know that Amazon carries the LUMENE and also the WHAMISA. I did go to Target this morning and came home thinking I should look on Amazon too. Well VOILA!!! There it was. Wanted to let everyone know....however, if you think Amazon is not a good place to buy these products, please let me know just when you have time! :)))! Thank you so much for all of your great videos and wonderful teaching. I am a 67 year old grandma and retired teacher....you have the gift of teaching. A+Elle! Everyone have a good Veterans day.:)
hey love! I do shy away from amazon because I just don't know where the products are coming from but I know a lot of people do. So i think it is a personal choice xo
Loved this video! I really want to try that spray sunscreen now! You've never steered me wrong w/ your recommendations. BTW: I found Maelove Glow Serum on your channel. Thank you so much.

Cheapest I found was on Dokodemo- about €8/9. Took hages to get to me though. X

😍😍
So I’m getting confused between the order of these products. After cleansing essence is first and then what?
This is one of my favorite videos, Elle!!! I cannot imagine the time it took you to find and test these. There are some amazing finds I here!!
I used Tatcha Essence for about 4 months, then switched to this duo of Cosrx Galactomyces and Snail Mucin Essences. They really are excellent, and especially the Galactomyces is a wonderful dupe!! I've been using those for about 4-5 months and have had really great results from them. Cosrx is a great, clean, reasonably priced KBeauty brand. They sell some products through Ulta.com, some are in select stores as well. I have also found their Honey Ceramides Cream to be wonderful for dry/dehydrated skin. I don't think you could go wrong with Cosrx at all. 😊
I haven't tried Garden of wisdom, but have heard wonderful things. There's a newer brand, you've probably heard of Peach and Lily at Ulta. It is excellent! Great ingredients, very clean. It more of a mid range price point, but absolutely worth it as well.
I can't wait to try Lumene, thanks for those!!! Always learning about so many great products and companies from you Elle. I love that we try to support smaller businesses in the Elle Squad. You're the best!! 😘😘

love this Jen!!
I love, love, love the Farmacy Green Clean! It may sound expensive at $34 for 3.2 oz. but it takes just a very tiny amount to cover your whole face and neck that it really isn’t that expensive at all considering how long a jar will last. And it smells soooo good! Elle! I am so happy to see you promote a DHC product! I have been using some of their stuff for more than 20 years and they have some great products. One of my favorite face washes is their Face Wash Powder. Very inexpensive and a bottle lasts a long time. It is so mild on my face and has a luxurious creamy lather. And I was using their Velvet Skin Coat as a makeup primer long before any other cosmetic companies even thought about primers. It’s not just Walmart that have 3rd party sellers who are not always on the up and up … Amazon also fits in this category. After searching for a long time for my HG Vitamin C serum, I have finally found it and it is one I have never seen any of the youtubers talk about yet. I get it from nufountain.com and all they make is Vit C serum. They have several formulations and make it up fresh when they receive your order. It is very affordable and they make it even more affordable in that if you purchase 2 bottles you get the 3rd one free. I would love for you to do a review on their products. It should be noted that there are two skincare lines called Garden of Wisdom. One, I believe, is out of Arizona. And one that I was using I got from Victoria’s Health in the UK. People need to be aware they are not the same. Oh my! I apologize for rambling on … I do so appreciate this video and your willingness to do all the research for us! And I want to thank you for the recommendation a while back for the MUF Water Blend Foundation. I got a bottle of that and I LOVE it! Not full coverage by any means, but I love how it feels like nothing on and does give me a medium coverage. My new everyday makeup for sure. Thank you!
peachy75019 it's my fav as well. I just bought almost the full line because everything I've tried from Farmacy has been incredibly great for my skin. 💗💗
Thank you Elle! This is FANTASTIC information - you’re such a professional. Your hard work is much appreciated. I have my shopping list ready! Yayyy!
Thank you Elle! Have really been enjoying clean November. As I have been getting older my skin is dryer and more sensitive. I'm not particularly sensitive to essential oils, but alcohol, phalates, parabens, silicones, sulfates are a definite 👎 👎. You are really doing us a service and saving us big bucks in the long run from constantly showing up at the dermatologist with skin issues. For which I am sincerely grateful. xoxo Annemarie
awe thank you my love!
I was looking deep inside of the internet to find dupes for skin care and it is harder than I thought! So I found you THANKS GOSH!

Thank you thank you thank you! I wish all the best in your life! A kiss in your heart and thank you again!

You had to really do your research and spend a lot of time weeding through products to come up with this list, and I cannot thank you enough!!!

I LOVE Garden of Wisdom. I found them years ago when I started researching skin care, ingredients and clean skin care. The ladies are just so sweet and helpful. It's a wonderful company with awesome, affordable products. Their acne products made such a difference for me. The Oxygen Rich Gel is fantastic for blemishes! After I had my son, my skin cleared up so I haven't had to worry about blemishes in a while but I ALWAYS had a bottle of the Oxygen Gel on hand when I used to get hormonal breakouts around the chin/jaw area. The have so many great products...I could go on and on lol. Glad to see you enjoy them as well 💖
So glad you tried the Goddess of Wisdom Brand! I sent you that link a couple of months ago to check out!! Glad it got your stamp of approval! ❤️
thank you Tara!
LOVING Your Hair Color !!
I Hope You Talk More About It And Hopefully Explain What You Had Done And What You Asked For.
xx
Great job of researching more affordable products. I’m sure that was a lot of work, and I want to thank you for it. I, personally, respect your knowledge of the products you talk about.
thank you so much Ann
Elle I absolutely love you and the information you’ve given. It helps so much when you don’t always have the money for high end products! 🙌🏼💋
Oh my goodness gracious! This video is awesome! I want to try everything you’ve mentioned! These products seem wonderful.
All your time and effort researching this for us is greatly appreciated! ❤️. I’ve saved this tutorial and have already gone back to it several times. You’re my favorite gal! 😘
thank you Peggy!
Just watched this vid again, Elle! What a great, well thought out, thorough video. Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time to use more affordable products that compare with your favorite expensive ones. Love your teaching spirit!
Been missing you Elle, so going back through videos I’ve not watched yet! Love this one and will be trying out some of these dupes! Thanks so much for your hard work and research, I so appreciate the effort but into these videos! Much love! 🥰
YAY!! So happoy you found the Lumene brand Elle! I have been using their skincare since they started in the US. I use the 'Valo' line. Love, love, love it.....has kept the wrinkles at bay! :))
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to find these dupes, it is so nice there are some more affordable options for great skincare.
i just started watching you like 20 minutes ago, and i’m obsessed.
welcome to the fam love
Elle, I LOVED this vid 💞💞. Really appreciate all your hard work and thoroughness sooo much. Such a pity Mae Love isn't available in the UK but the alternatives you found are fantastic. Thank you, thank you, thank you xxx 💕💕💕xxx💕💕💕xxx
Going back in time some from when you filmed this one but I am so grateful for the research and education you give in your videos. I did not know about the hylaronic acid pulling moisture from my skin if there is none in the air. Anchorage is very dry in the winter months, my heater is on constantly. Thank you soo much!
Love from Alaska
Skincare Sunday! Love it!!! I also love Heart + Soil Herbal Skincare. Makes my skin feel sooooo good! xo
This might be long so I apologize in advance.
I live 4 miles from where mass shooting happened last week. I, my family, and everyone I know was safe, but other families lost a loved one. Within 12 hours, we were in escape mode because of fires. Would we have to leave or not? Twice, the fire came within a few miles of our house. We did not have to leave and are safe. When you can look out your front door and practically see the firefighters, it changes your perspective. God bless them. They are working so hard risking thier lives to protect mine and I will be forever grateful.
Watching your videos today just what I needed. Something "normal" that I enjoy. And my skin care regime has taken a back seat this last week😉, so this was perfect. Thanks again for all your knowledge and experience.
And let me finish by saying, yes, some bad stuff happened, but I have witnessed the good in so many people. There really are hero's all around us.
Take care! ❤
Ok, 🐌 mucus.......🤓 not sure about that. 😘
sending you so much love girl!
@@ElleLearyArtistry Thank you so very much. Now, it's just getting my mind to process all that happened. We are very blessed and very lucky, but 💔 for so many others. 🙏
Thank you so much for doing the research on more affordable and green products for us. Girl you are almost to 100,000 Subs, I'm so excited to see you grow. I've been with you since you had only 20,000 or 30,000. Here's to a early congrats. :)
wow thank you love for all the support xoxo
Love, love, love this video!!! Thanks so much Elle for educating us all on skincare and the the best products. I value your quality videos and find them so helpful. I really appreciate you and your time. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Thanks Karen for your interest and suggestion. I’ve tried it for other types of serums but not vit C. Maybe I’ll give it a whirl. Thanks again!
This was so helpful! Thank you for taking the time to find us incredible dupes. Loved this video!!
I appreciate the time you take researching
When I think of what I've spent on anti-aging products the past 30 yrs (I started as a teen), I think someday it will be cheaper for them just to sell us a new face. :)
😂😂😂😂😍
@Margot R I definitely didn't start aging until much later. When I was 40, everyone would think I was in my 20s to the point it was annoying. At 41, my husband and my mother both died, so grief and stress (have 5 kids) definitely started aging me fast. I see it now. But I say start young and avoid sun damage, which I got my daughter on preventative care and sunblock every day by 13/14 yrs old.
Betsy/BA BF I am really sorry. Lots of love!
@@betsybabf748 I'm so sorry you've lost your dear close loved ones. I never took care of my skin or hair, and now I totally regret it. I'm 42 now, and I've been caring for my skin a little while. I hope you have had the assistance you've needed with your children since your life altering experiences.
Yes COSRX!! Thank you for including K beauty brands! Snail mucin essence is a holy grail in South Korea and there’s a reason why. Thank you always for all your information!!
Love this video - so much valuable information. Thank you for getting us dupes for the high end products. I would love a video on start to finish using these dupes. I want to make sure that when I get these dupes I know which one to put on first to the last. Thank you
hey love! I actually did this in the order you would use them :)
Sweet - I didn’t know that. You are very smart as you thought of people like me asking you to put a video out. Lol. You rock 🤩🤩
❤️❤️
Thank you Elle!!! So happy to have some easy choices in the “turbulent waters” of so many choices in skin care! ❤️
So many great recommendations and dupes. I use so many costly products. I will be trying some of these. Enjoyed this immensely. Thank you. Jane
"Oh Elle, bless your heart...you work very hard for your viewers and I really appreciate it...as I'm sure everyone will agree!" You're such a beautiful lady and so knowledgeable as well as honest. You also give great reviews, and I love your video's as I LOVE all of your content on this channel. Thank you again Elle and have great week, I'll see you soon...Ly! xoxo
thank you so so much my love!
One of the best videos you've done! Thank you so much for doing all the research and sharing your knowledge. You're the BEST.
Can you do a tutorial showing exactly how you prep your skin before foundation and which products please? Your skin always looks so glowy and beautiful.
I loved this video Elle! Thanks so much for your honest hard work! We all really appreciate it! Amazing recs!
OMG! What some great finds! Ty for all your hard work to help us!
Are you still loving these dupes? I'm ordering some now. Tatcha is just too expensive right now. Thank You for doing these videos!
Great work Elle! Definitely will keep these recommendations on my favorites.
Thank you so much for this video! I know it takes a long while to cultivate all the information, plus trying out the products. Your dedication to helping us find great skin care and keep within a budget is appreciated! 😘❤️
thanks robin!
Absolutely incredible video!! Thank you sooo much for taking so much time to put this together!!
Fantastic video!! Thanks so much for the time you spend on finding lovely affordable products for us! You are amazing!!!
Elle, this video was fabulous!! Thanks so much for putting it together for us!! I appreciate You finding dupes to the more expensive skincare items.?
I love all of the lumene products I’ve used thus far, will definitely be giving the cleaning oil! Thank you for this!!
Glad you put options out there. The snail mucus I don’t think I will ever try! Lol. Thanks for the video and all your hard work that you put into it. 💕
Jennifer Olsen don’t rule it out! Read how they get it! It’s not that bad! But it works soooo good! ☺️😉
@@jameyfisher423 there is a vegan option to this that @nobsbeauty just talked about and she's obsessed with snail mucin too
Hi Elle....I just ordered from Garden of Eden! My hubby of 45 years and I will try it out! Thank you for the great tips. I have been a Skin Ceuticals gal for a bit....at 165 dollars a pop! This is more affordable and worth a test drive. You are so kind to take your time to research and test everything.....your skin is beautiful too!
Again a million thanks to you!!!
You are truly blessed with your teaching gift! :))))
😘😘😘😘
Thank you, Elle! COSRX makes a sunscreen that I adore. It is Aloe Sun Soothing Cream SPF 50! I have ordered it over and over. I almost don't need an additional moisturizer because it is so moisturizing and I live in CO too. Great video, thank you for the great suggestions!
Kathleen
Wow Elle, great job. Thank you so much for all the research, hard work and presentation. Wonderful!
Tysm♡ Great information..definitely taking a screenshot of all the products in the description box for future reference!! Your the best!!
I am addicted to your channel base on the fact that you’re so honest! Any suggestions on a good sunscreen that won’t interfere with makeup? My skin problems are large pores and texture. Thank you.
thanks love! doing a video on mu current fav SPF
Thank you, Elle. This was marvelous!!
Aww Elle,even though I’m not commenting much atm I had to to,these videos are so important when ya have not got a lot of money coming in.The work & research you put in for us is a big thumbs up from me.As always you look glowing,much love 🌸💕👍🏻🌸
thank you so much Jane!!!
Please continue to make more videos like this! Amazing!
Love to see these dupes - I'm excited to try some of the products you talked about. Really appreciate all the work you did research and testing products.
ONe OF YOU BEST VIDEOS EVER! THX ELLE!
Wow. Thank you so much for all this great information. You are such an excellent communicator & I’ve been learning TONS from you over the last few months!! 🙏
You are the bomb when it comes to flawless skin and knowledge of skin!! Seriously, your skin glows and your makeup was gorgeous too. I am overwhelmed however with all of the options. Being 50 and living is the cold dry midwest I need guidance. What are the basics from this list? 💜
thanks love! this is a much longer and more in-depth question lol I would need some background to say for sure. but I do have a video on the essential ingredients for every age range. Check it out in my "all about skin" playlist xo. I would say stay away from HA since you live somewhere dry xo
I love skincare Sunday! My favorite oil cleanser is Bare Minerals! It’s just soo good! But it’s expensive I’m gonna try the Maelove! Great products Elle Thanks for sharing
I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel the other day, all your videos are SO helpful & I'm a skincare junkie so this is right up my alley. 😄
welcome love!
Yes!!!! I have been loving the snail mucin! It’s thicker but I enjoy it so much
me too!
Oh sweetheart if I could get my skin as nice as yours I would be so appreciative of this! Fingers crossed Thanks for all your hard work Elle!
❤️❤️
I just purchased it all. Can’t wait for All of it to come so I can be as beautiful as you! Wish me luck
I had to go back and watch this one. U are the best with all the time and research u put into these videos. I really appreciate it. It can get so overwhelming when it comes to skin care. I have so many products. Im not sure if i should use vitamin a and c everyday
Excellent Skincare Sunday! Thank you for all the time, research and dedication you put into your videos aka your lessons. It is much appreciated. Fantastic information.
Thanks, Elle, for these wonderful suggestions -- for all the hard work.
Your hair looks the best I’ve ever seen it.
I’ve been using DHC for almost 15-20 years. I tried Tatcha and didn’t like it nearly as well. Great video!
Wow Elle! Super gorgeous in this video!!
Thank you! I LOVE this video!!! 10 thumbs up!! Love the Garden of Wisdom products!
😘😘😘
@@ElleLearyArtistry I'm also trying the venn all in one concentrate based on your recommendation.
Wow! This is packed with great products and information. Thanks so much!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I asked you about the Lumene brand a while back because they are affordable. You said you would check to see if the ingredients were clean. I tried the beauty drops with vitamin c and I really like them. But I always want to hear your thoughts on products now. So thank you so much for this review ! I hope you and your family have a great week!
thanks love! sorry it took me so long xo
Personally I use use the Garnier Micellar waters for makeup removal; the pink cap for my eyes (which are VERY sensitive. I dont use water proof mascara though), and the blue cap (bi-phase) for my face. I had the DHC oil cleanser and it does not fully remove long wear foundation or eye makeup.
Hi Elle,
Just wanted to let you know that Amazon carries the LUMENE and also the WHAMISA. I did go to Target this morning and came home thinking I should look on Amazon too. Well VOILA!!! There it was.
Wanted to let everyone know....however, if you think Amazon is not a good place to buy these products, please let me know just when you have time! :)))!
Thank you so much for all of your great videos and wonderful teaching. I am a 67 year old grandma and retired teacher....you have the gift of teaching. A+Elle!
Everyone have a good Veterans day.:)
hey love! I do shy away from amazon because I just don't know where the products are coming from but I know a lot of people do. So i think it is a personal choice xo
Loved this video! I really want to try that spray sunscreen now! You've never steered me wrong w/ your recommendations. BTW: I found Maelove Glow Serum on your channel. Thank you so much.
yay!!!
Thanks Elle for sharing your wealth of knowledge and opinions on these brands! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for the time and effort you put in to bring us all these great products to try.
