+Gothamista Hi hoping you would reply to this. I am looking to get a complete skincare package for my mother who has thin skin/ wrinkle problem. She is mid40s now and so beautiful but compared to her friends she looks way older because of her skintype. Please help me get her the perfect routine.
I have acne prone/ oily skin. can u suggest any package for me. things that are internationally available, because whatever you mention are really good but I cant seem to find them. thanks :)
and I don't wear makeup on daily basis, very rarely on festive seasons. whatever I use on my skin seem to cause breakouts so I stopped using SPFs and anything at all, all I used was a mild soap and that was it. please suggest a complete skin care for me
R Pendragon I watch the videos with my mom in mind too 😄 and she has the exact same issue - very very thin skin with deep lines. I mean she's 62 now but she's always had that issue :-( She is stunningly beautiful, though!!
Can you please do an updated video on this topic please ? I feel like there’s a lot of new stuff in the market and was wondering if you still feel the same abt these products 😊
Renée, I wanted to share with you that what I am now doing is first after cleanse, apply most potent essence or treatment essence: vit c or nyacimdes or an ampoule then i do the 2 or 3 or 7 skin chok chok method. i want the most potent formula to go in first. You are my utmost admired guide. Thanks again.
There are cheaper dupes for the C+E Ferulic i.e. Timeless and Cosmetic Skin Solutions which are about $25-$40 each. I've tried the cosmetic skin solutions and loved it. It was near identical and lasted longer (didn't go yellow) than the skinceuticals version as she says on the webpage that she makes each batch fresh. TBF I did put the serum in a airless pump bottle in the fridge and it lasted 4-5 months and was still water clear. I threw it away bc I wanted a fresh batch not because it wasn't useable. Also if you want a cheaper better alternative to the Skinceauticals restexturing activator - try the alpha hydroxy lotion or serum which have 10-14% Glycolic acid. They cost about $10-15 for 170 ml.
Thanks for recommending cheaper alternatives. I hate it when people talk about recommended skin care products that cost upwards of $200. It's not helpful.
Finished my first Missha ampoule. It works. The texture is light but super rich, very rare combination. My dehydrated skin adores it. At the beginning it dried out on my face in seconds, then it took more and more time to dry. That is how I understood that my skin is becoming more hydrated and plump. I will buy the ampoule again.
Oh my goodness, I'm so happy I've come across your channel Renee! You are so eloquent and informative, thankyou for taking the time in creating your videos and sharing your knowledge. You are a gem! A new subscriber :) xxx
Skin Actives Scientific Antioxidant Serum is an awesome dupe for the Skinceuticals CE Ferulic. It also has fermented sea kelp and much other good stuff. It's $23 and you keep it in the fridge.
I think Serum 10 (also from Skinceuticals) is a better option for oily skins than C E Ferulic. I used both and C E Ferulic gave me some breakouts, but at the time I was 20 years old and my hormonal was unbalanced. Righ now I am 24 years old and I use Serum 10 (with 10% of vitamin C and Ferulic acid) to prevent aging. Anyway, nice video!
I just read your description box! a great dupe for the ce ferulic is the one by "timeless", its about 20-25 bucks. I have normal skin but they dont make a dupe for the phloretin, which Im really interested in!
I'm so happy to hear/read this! Everyone's skin is so different and products are so subjective, what works for me won't be to everyone's liking. Thank you for wanting to know more and understand what to look for rather than just being told what to buy!
Are there more budget friendly alternatives. For a college student scraping to survive but still wants flawless skin can you suggest cheaper but awesome alternatives?
kuroko taiga missha has 40-50% off all the time. for vitamin c try Paula's choice its also 15% vit c and ferulic half the price too. also they do sales as well.
I'm so glad I found your channel and blog! I am in my thirties and so overwhelmed by all the skin care stuff. I really like how you break it all down and i love your style.
Thank God I get the chance to know your videos, now I finally understand what skincare is all about! You rock and please keep on making these really great videos!
Hi Renee! Would LOVE to see an,updated version of this subject! I am loving a lot of my K-Beauty products- but have no idea what's good or bad! Especially would love to hear more about essences, ampoules, serums that actually work for m elasma (mine,is under control but always on the search to brighten/lighten that last 20% left! Basically, things for more,mature skin. A lot of your product recs seem,to just basic hydration...
I found you on youtube a while ago and I am obsessed! You are so knowledgable. Im 24 years old and I'm pretty serious about double washing in the evening and applying spf daily (my skin is normal to dry, I am not acne prone, just the normal hormonal situations women face during the time of the month). Can you PLEASE suggest the top 3 products in serums for me to apply, and for vitamin A,E and D are the ones drop forms suggested on iherb.com okay? It's a lot of information to take in after watching all of your videos and I would just LOVE a starting point from you. (I have already purchased The Revolution, and the Miracle Rose Stick Cleanser to start!)
I'm rewatching this video for the 4th time! I love to reference this when I'm shopping for a new serum. Any chance you can do an updated serum post in 2018?
Your skin is amazing. I enjoy watching your videos. I am very picky about what I use in my face due to my sensitive/oily/acne prone skin. You have been very helpful.
What do you think of Vitamin C in powder form (versus in a serum)? How do you incorporate a Vitamin C powder in a skincare routine - with your essence, lotion?
Do you think that the Missha is okay to use along with a Vitamin C serum at night? Or would that be too much with the Lactic Acid and Retinol? I’m still trying to get my routine down and trying to figure out what ingredients are okay to use with what. But it’s still a fun journey! Love your videos! So helpful and straight to the point!
Hi Renee. The 1st time i used Missha Time Revolution together with its 1st treatment toner, i had irritations and a day thereafter, i had this reddish and dry patch on my face, so i stopped using it. Was it because i used these with my COSRX BHA natural Returning A-Sol and The Ordinary Cold Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil? can you kindly please advise what can i mix and don't mix please, if it isn't too much of a trouble though. All these i learn from you because of your so great videos. Thank you for all these info you share!
Would the Missha ampoule be ok to use on skin if you're in your 20s? I watched the skincare in your 20s video, and you spoke about not using retinol based products, which that ampoule has in it. Thanks. Great, informative channel!
" Although it's never too early for prevention and to start good skincare habits, you really don't need serums this powerful in your early 20s if you don't have problematic skin. " --Thank You, that really helped.
Hi Rene, I really trust your opinion since I’ve bought many products you’ve recommended and I’ve always been happy with the results. Could you do an updated video of anti-aging serums? Or at least recommend me a few? Thanks for having this channel, you are the most informative TH-camr ❤️
Hi Rene, could you please do a video on Vitamin c based serum & how to incorporate it & also how many serums for multiple purposes can be used in daily skin care
i also use missha ampoule since few months ago, it last long n i even use it under eye at night, it's brightening my eyebag a bit, but i want to try other product, i think i might buy retexturing activator haha
I love your channel. I am a bit older than you (that's an understatement) and I use Tazorac .1% (synthetic retin A) for wrinkles. Could I still use the ampoule that has retinol in it? I note it does have acids as well, maybe I should not use it? I use the Tazorac every night, I'm quite used to it. What do you think? Again, really love your channel.
I am currently working on fixing my skin and stopping the constant break outs i always get and Your videos are so helpful they have a wealth of information that helps me find great products to help my skin because I never use to think skincare was a big deal so I am now learning everything from scratch so thanks for the great information! :)
hai, first of all, i really loves all your videos, so informative. I have a question, can I use Missha ampoule with Cosrx Natural BHA emulsion together? From what I know, BHA shouldn't be used together with Vit C. But, Im not sure about other ingredients, like the Missha ampoule. And fyi, I treat my acne with BHA, but I want to use other ingredients to repairs my hyperpigmentation, old scars, uneven skin tone etc. Tq :) love, from Malaysia
Hi Rene. Thanks for all these informative videos. One question... after retinol/retinoids or AHA you mentioned you wouldn’t use the Ampoule; so it’d have to be used in nights when you’re not using the ret or AHAs... what type of serum would you recommend or use.
Great video! I'm currently using the Missha long name ampoule and liking it so far. I've been wondering whether to go ahead and cash out to buy the SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic serum cause its so expensive and well loved but I'm not too sure about the alternatives on the market cause I think SkinCeuticals has a patent on its vitamin c serum made with L-Ascorbic Acid with Ferulic Acid and VItamin E with pH level of 2.5-3.0. Other products being sold would probably be in the range 3.0-3.5 which would still be effective, or otherwise be using an alternative form of Vitamin C, like MAP or tetra C. I'm considering DIYing it cause it allows for the flexibility of customising the serum with other goodies. I love your videos, your information about skincare is so valuable! Keep up the amazin work
I really like your skincare products. You do a great job talking about the ingredients of the products and I like it when you talk about products that you are not a big fan of.
Hi Gorthamista! I subscribed to your channel a couple of days ago and it's such a life changer! I always aim to improve my skin care routine and knowledge and your videos are so informative that I can't believe I wasn't introduced to them before! I actually purchased earlier today some Korean skin care products based on your recommendation! But I was wondering... I'm using a Vitamin C serum that I find lovely but I'm not sure all the ingredients are ideal. what do you think of a serum that contains only: Deionized Aqua (Water), Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf (Aloe), Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide (Botanical Hyaluronic Acid), Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel), Carbomer, (2s)-2-Amino-5-guanidinopentanoic Acid, Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba Oil), Phenoxyethanol, Ethyl Hexyl Glycerin, d-alpha Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Organic Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola Extract), Organic Equisetum Arvense (Horsetail Plant Extract), Organic Pelargonium Graveolens (Geranium Extract), Organic Taraxacum Officinale (Dandelion Extract). It has 20% vitamin C, 10% Hyaluronic Acid and 1% vitamin E which makes me think it might be too good to be true! (it's by Amara Organics) If you'll have the time to answer it'd be incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for your amazing videos :)
Hiii Rene I stumbled upon your TH-cam channel & have been addicted for the past month!! before that I was going crazy over all the different skincare routines all over TH-cam. Thank you so much for your indepth & informative vids! Esp. love the fact that you talk & explain abt all skin types! sorry I'm rambling. Basically, I'm 31 & I'm pregnant! My skin is totally acting up. I wanted to introduce a Serum into my routine. Are these serums safe in pregnancy? if yes which one should I use? My skin has been dry, dehydrated recently sensitive. also there's redness & pigmentation on my cheeks. I get breakouts often & dry patches esp. on my chin & forehead! U name it I got it!! SERIOUSLY NEED HELP!!
Hi! Aww thank you and congratulations!! It's difficult to say with pregnancy and skincare since everyone can react differently during that period. I could only recommend you use products that are as clean as possible for sensitive skin because it sounds like hormones are affecting your skin. I would probably lay off the actives and just go for gentle everything! Perhaps incorporate a good oil like marula, jojoba or something.
Thank you so much Rene! I was actually trying out a sample of Sunday Riley's Juno along with Good Genes. Do you think Juno (doesn't contain any essential oils) is fine or I should just go for less potent oils?
Thank you so much for these episodes! They're so helpful and informative. I like how you tell a lot about different ingredients in a simple form - I tend to learn more about them now (not just korean brands or products), and that's where you come in :-) Hope you'll do more videos of this kind, thanks again for your hard work!
Hi dear First of all I want to thank you because of all these wonderful videos. I admire the way you take care of your skin. I have oily skin with some clogged pores inside my face near my hair and some times I have hormonal acney .at the moment my biggest issue is some acne mark on my cheeks which are frustrating 😣 I used this AHA which my dermatologist prescription for me. My question is this "time revolution " is suitable for oily skin or not. Because I noticed when ever I use oil based products I tend to have acne. Thank you in advance ❤
I love your videos and i totally agree, antioxidants are the best! I also use vitamin C, green tea, berries, niacinamide, arbutin, fermented products, snail and ginseng and other oriental medicine products on my routine! They really work the best for baby skin. You have an amazing skin! Thanks for the inspiration :) Keep up with the good work :D =** kiss ;)
U are very professional and the way u are explaining it's very understandable pls continue to spread this important information about our skin and health
Hii i love your channel. Just wanted to ask is it ok to use such high concentration of Vitamin C in your morning routine Or is it just that product formulation?
Don't know if you've ever tried Biopelle brand- but their 75%! Retinol a serum is a godsend for my skin. I'm 30 now and I've suffered from OCD dermatillomania since 3rd grade so I have some scarring/hyper pigmentation, & my pores have gotten larger as my skin matures, and I still struggle with OCD and have blemishes that need help for me to stay clearer. For whatever reason this is the only product I've ever used that helps my skin look better overnight! It glows more bc the pores are smaller and it reflects more light. It helps my skin turnover so my blemishes or sores caused by my OCD heal much faster, redness is lessened, overnight. They're not paying me ;) hehe. It's been an amazing product for me. I have a sample size of that C E Ferulic serum! ✨🙌💕🌸 so I'm looking forward to seeing results, I just started using it.
I have oily/acne prone skin. my skin is also very sensitive. with this said, what are your thoughts on using the sulwhasoo first care essence, and then the C20 (or 21.5) serum? and then would follow with the hada labo hyaluronic acid and a moisturizer+sunscreen. what are your thoughts on c20? do you recommend something better? is this routine ok for day and night? I have learned soooooooo much from binge watching your videos the past few days, and have already purchased several of your recommend products. I appreciate you so much !!!!
+ablack012993 Hi, and thank you so much! What you just said sounds like a routine I would do! I've never used c20 because I'm worried my skin is too sensitive.
Hi there, Your videos are awesome and very enlightning! I wanted to ask you a question: i'm using Klairs Freshly juiced vitamin C. Should I apply it before or after Hado Labo's hyaluronic acid lotion?
+music_junkie Thank you!! For blush, I'm wearing Chanel's Alezane. Sorry, I can't remember what foundation I was wearing, although I've started to make a habit of listing what makeup I wear in my videos!
Hi! This review is amazing, so informative!! I love Retexturing Activiator a lot but i was told to use it before my regular serum as a prep, and that it works well before CF Ferulic but from ur review i understand it’s not exactly how it should be used. Is RA is supposed to be the only product i can put on my face or i can combine it with others, like cream or oil on top? Thank u
What colour should the liquid be for the SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic when it first arrives? I've read a lot of conflicting things on the internet. From you video though, I can see it's almost clear with a slight yellow tinge? Thank you!!
Love your videos! Very informative and helpful. What's the different between C E Ferulic and Hydrating B5 Gel? Is B5 more suitable for dehydrated skin? Thanks.
I just discovered your channel 7 days ago and I have been obsessed with it ever since ! I don't know why I didn't come across it years ago?! I love how you, like me, focus on ingredients and not the brand. I had a question about Missha TR Night Repair Science Activator amapoule - the link takes us to a product called Missha TR NR Borabi Ampoule. Same brand but what it says on the bottle in your vdo is different from the link you provided. Is it the same product? upgraded version?
I used to use the red serum from skin and lab because i have alot of acne scars, I wanted to change the serum for a new one, I have dry acne prone due to ingredient sensitivit... I use a vitamin c serum already, what would you recommend for brightening and evening skintone and giving it a glow, sulwahsoo first care activating serum or the manyo factory galactomyces niacin treatment, you are a very big inspiration to me and taught me alot about beauty
Hi! You are so sweet! The Sulwhasoo first care is more of a first treatment essence. My personal pick for you would be the manyo factory. Have you used other fermented essences? Try it out and see if your skin likes it!
I love your videos. I’ve been watching you almost everyday. I learned a lot. I am so into k beauty and so k serums. But i live in the US, would you now in 2020 still recommend skinceuticals.
Great and informative video, I am learning soooo much! One question regarding the Missha Night Repair Serum ingredient I noticed that it contains both Retinol and Lactic Acid... is that okay?
Thanks Renee for the video, it's very helpful and informative :D. Do you have any products (toner, hydration and moisturizer creams) to recommend to use alongside with those kind of serums, please?
My question with the ce phloertin is the vitamin C, I had always though that vitamin C is destroyed by UV rays, I’ve always thought vitamin C was supposed to be used at night
Thank you for all your videos. You're fantastic! I need your suggestion. I bought CE FERULIC but despite is brand new and perfectly sealed, it is light orange....yellow. It is good?
Hi Renee! I have been using a dermatologist prescribed retinol for a few years now, however I feel my skin has never gotten used to it and I have extremely sensitive, irritated skin because of it. I often have huge red patches on my cheeks specifically. I want to experiment with other products, but I know it is not good to mix retinol with many products like acids etc. Why did you stop using a retinol product and switch to only using the Missha Ampoule? Does this product have enough retinol in it to really compare with a dermo prescribed retinol product that will do enough anti-aging work? Thanks!
Any suggestion for someone in late 20's with dry/dehydrated very sensitive skin that is caffeine free (teas), and gluten free? Want to take care of my skin and prevent visible signs of aging, but I am struggling to find something healthy, actually beneficial that won't irritate my skin.
Hi Renee! Hope you are doing well. Can you please make an updated video for this topic. Cause a lot of products are new in the market, i was wondering if you can make a dedicated video. Thanks in advance♥️
Thank you for making this video as i was just about to order the Mizon Ampoule & was searching for reviews! Appreciate how clear & articulate your videos seem to be :) x
Never heard of ampoules before. They sound so cool. Must get the Missha one lol! Kiehl's Biological Peel is another urea based gel that's really gentle. Your channel is so informative, thank you. :D
Just found you on TH-cam and just two of your videos have answered all my skincare confusions! Also, what lipstick are you wearing lol I love the color!
I can't seem to reply to some of your comments because of your settings - just so you know I'm not ignoring! Your comments are everything ❤️
+Gothamista Hi hoping you would reply to this. I am looking to get a complete skincare package for my mother who has thin skin/ wrinkle problem. She is mid40s now and so beautiful but compared to her friends she looks way older because of her skintype. Please help me get her the perfect routine.

Timeless has a 20% Vitamin C serum for $20 instead of 15% for $130. Plus it also has C, E, and Ferulic
She's the Asian Drew Barrymore.
I used to get that a lot!

cosmetic skin solutions vitamin c is awful, I've tried it... it oxidized in less than a month like from colorless to dark brown
I wasn't impressed with the timeless, personally.

Can U make the new best serum and ampoule in 2018? Thx a lot.. keep share the love,Renee 😙
I LOVE YOUR PERSONALITY RENEE, YOU'RE MY SKIN GURU!

to0PRETTY is it good for with sensitive or acne prone skin?
Please do an updated video!
Have you tried the Paula's choice C15 super booster with 15% vitamin c + ferulic? its incredible! very similar to the one in this video but only $49!
Thank you so much for teaching me about skincare and not just promoting products. It helps me to look at skincare in a different way :)

I'm curious about what your thoughts are on luxury skincare like La Mer, la Praire, SKII and Sisley.
I take notes on all of your videos. You are amazing and such a natural beauty! Thank you for being awesome!

Hi Rene,
I really trust your opinion since I’ve bought many products you’ve recommended and I’ve always been happy with the results. Could you do an updated video of anti-aging serums? Or at least recommend me a few?
Thanks for having this channel, you are the most informative TH-camr ❤️
I love how informative your videos are! You know what you're talking about and I'm grateful I can learn more from you. Thank you!
Hi Rene, could you please do a video on Vitamin c based serum & how to incorporate it & also how many serums for multiple purposes can be used in daily skin care
What do you think of the nacific fresh herb serum? Im trying the missha one and i can see great results. I can see why serums are important already ☺️
i also use missha ampoule since few months ago, it last long n i even use it under eye at night, it's brightening my eyebag a bit, but i want to try other product, i think i might buy retexturing activator haha

+Kerby Mellon I'm so happy to hear that! There's always a point when we actually realize we need skincare, am so glad this is helpful!
hai, first of all, i really loves all your videos, so informative. I have a question, can I use Missha ampoule with Cosrx Natural BHA emulsion together? From what I know, BHA shouldn't be used together with Vit C. But, Im not sure about other ingredients, like the Missha ampoule. And fyi, I treat my acne with BHA, but I want to use other ingredients to repairs my hyperpigmentation, old scars, uneven skin tone etc. Tq :) love, from Malaysia
I am so happy I found you. I just subscribed. Your channel is for beauty geeks. Thanks for factual and informative video.
Hi Rene. Thanks for all these informative videos. One question... after retinol/retinoids or AHA you mentioned you wouldn’t use the Ampoule; so it’d have to be used in nights when you’re not using the ret or AHAs... what type of serum would you recommend or use.
Great video! I'm currently using the Missha long name ampoule and liking it so far. I've been wondering whether to go ahead and cash out to buy the SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic serum cause its so expensive and well loved but I'm not too sure about the alternatives on the market cause I think SkinCeuticals has a patent on its vitamin c serum made with L-Ascorbic Acid with Ferulic Acid and VItamin E with pH level of 2.5-3.0. Other products being sold would probably be in the range 3.0-3.5 which would still be effective, or otherwise be using an alternative form of Vitamin C, like MAP or tetra C. I'm considering DIYing it cause it allows for the flexibility of customising the serum with other goodies. I love your videos, your information about skincare is so valuable! Keep up the amazin work
Let's us know if you do DIY it and how it turns out. Thanks!
yoshigahawhaw I love DIY Vit C serum much better. It's always fresh and you can mix other stuff with it nicely
I am so happy I discovered your channel! You are amazing! Now I want to buy everything you recommend!
What lipstick color are you wearing?? I love it!
I really like your skincare products. You do a great job talking about the ingredients of the products and I like it when you talk about products that you are not a big fan of.
+Iris Huang Thank you!
Hi Gorthamista! I subscribed to your channel a couple of days ago and it's such a life changer! I always aim to improve my skin care routine and knowledge and your videos are so informative that I can't believe I wasn't introduced to them before! I actually purchased earlier today some Korean skin care products based on your recommendation!
But I was wondering... I'm using a Vitamin C serum that I find lovely but I'm not sure all the ingredients are ideal. what do you think of a serum that contains only:
Deionized Aqua (Water), Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf (Aloe), Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide (Botanical Hyaluronic Acid), Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel), Carbomer, (2s)-2-Amino-5-guanidinopentanoic Acid, Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba Oil), Phenoxyethanol, Ethyl Hexyl Glycerin, d-alpha Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Organic Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola Extract), Organic Equisetum Arvense (Horsetail Plant Extract), Organic Pelargonium Graveolens (Geranium Extract), Organic Taraxacum Officinale (Dandelion Extract).
It has 20% vitamin C, 10% Hyaluronic Acid and 1% vitamin E which makes me think it might be too good to be true! (it's by Amara Organics)
If you'll have the time to answer it'd be incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for your amazing videos :)
These products are out of my budget. But wow, really important stuff & ingredients I need to put on my face
Hi!
I use Caudalie serum (the white o é, for lighter skin) in the morning and Missha at night.
It has been working so good... 😉
Carmen Cristina Carvalho is the caudalie serum good for sensitive or acne prone skin?
i thought you said for vit c to make a difference it needs to be over 20% .... i've used skinceuticals vit c for years and its theee best serum ever
Hiii Rene I stumbled upon your TH-cam channel & have been addicted for the past month!! before that I was going crazy over all the different skincare routines all over TH-cam. Thank you so much for your indepth & informative vids! Esp. love the fact that you talk & explain abt all skin types! sorry I'm rambling. Basically, I'm 31 & I'm pregnant! My skin is totally acting up. I wanted to introduce a Serum into my routine. Are these serums safe in pregnancy? if yes which one should I use? My skin has been dry, dehydrated recently sensitive. also there's redness & pigmentation on my cheeks. I get breakouts often & dry patches esp. on my chin & forehead! U name it I got it!! SERIOUSLY NEED HELP!!
Hi! Aww thank you and congratulations!! It's difficult to say with pregnancy and skincare since everyone can react differently during that period. I could only recommend you use products that are as clean as possible for sensitive skin because it sounds like hormones are affecting your skin. I would probably lay off the actives and just go for gentle everything! Perhaps incorporate a good oil like marula, jojoba or something.
Thank you so much Rene! I was actually trying out a sample of Sunday Riley's Juno along with Good Genes. Do you think Juno (doesn't contain any essential oils) is fine or I should just go for less potent oils?
Thank you so much for these episodes! They're so helpful and informative. I like how you tell a lot about different ingredients in a simple form - I tend to learn more about them now (not just korean brands or products), and that's where you come in :-) Hope you'll do more videos of this kind, thanks again for your hard work!
+Dariia Vorobiova Thank you so much! There are more videos of beauty chats to come!
Hi dear
First of all I want to thank you because of all these wonderful videos. I admire the way you take care of your skin. I have oily skin with some clogged pores inside my face near my hair and some times I have hormonal acney .at the moment my biggest issue is some acne mark on my cheeks which are frustrating 😣 I used this AHA which my dermatologist prescription for me. My question is this "time revolution " is suitable for oily skin or not. Because I noticed when ever I use oil based products I tend to have acne.
Thank you in advance ❤
Hi! The time revolution should be ok but if it's causing you to break out then perhaps it's better for you not to use it.
Gothamista I've never use it...I am confused between this one and estee lauder night repair...thank you very much for answering me😍
I love your show, can you talk about face mask? Sleeping mask?
Susan Feltner laneige sleeping mask is really good, Renee reccomended in some of her videos and I tried it, love it!
Can you compare the Skin Solutions C+E to the SkinCeuticals?
I love your videos and i totally agree, antioxidants are the best! I also use vitamin C, green tea, berries, niacinamide, arbutin, fermented products, snail and ginseng and other oriental medicine products on my routine! They really work the best for baby skin. You have an amazing skin! Thanks for the inspiration :) Keep up with the good work :D =** kiss ;)
+Raquel Pinheiro Thank you so much, beautiful! Big kiss!
An updated video of this PLEASE!!
U are very professional and the way u are explaining it's very understandable pls continue to spread this important information about our skin and health
You have any video about getting rid of blackheads and spot treatments and how to do pimple extraction?
Splendid knowledge. I own many of your suggestions. amazing skin¡¡ muchas gracias, Renée.
Pls do an updated favorite serum & ampoules
Hii i love your channel. Just wanted to ask is it ok to use such high concentration of Vitamin C in your morning routine Or is it just that product formulation?
Hi so I love the under eye product you use. So I’m 24 should I still use that or do you recommend something els??
Don't know if you've ever tried Biopelle brand- but their 75%! Retinol a serum is a godsend for my skin. I'm 30 now and I've suffered from OCD dermatillomania since 3rd grade so I have some scarring/hyper pigmentation, & my pores have gotten larger as my skin matures, and I still struggle with OCD and have blemishes that need help for me to stay clearer. For whatever reason this is the only product I've ever used that helps my skin look better overnight! It glows more bc the pores are smaller and it reflects more light. It helps my skin turnover so my blemishes or sores caused by my OCD heal much faster, redness is lessened, overnight. They're not paying me ;) hehe. It's been an amazing product for me. I have a sample size of that C E Ferulic serum! ✨🙌💕🌸 so I'm looking forward to seeing results, I just started using it.
Oh thank you for the tip about water neutralizing vitamin C!!! That's a game changer! 🙏✌️👍✨💕💋
thank you so much for this recommendation! I love hearing about skincare products that have actually made a difference since a lot out there doesn't!
I have oily/acne prone skin. my skin is also very sensitive. with this said, what are your thoughts on using the sulwhasoo first care essence, and then the C20 (or 21.5) serum? and then would follow with the hada labo hyaluronic acid and a moisturizer+sunscreen. what are your thoughts on c20? do you recommend something better? is this routine ok for day and night? I have learned soooooooo much from binge watching your videos the past few days, and have already purchased several of your recommend products. I appreciate you so much !!!!
+ablack012993 Hi, and thank you so much! What you just said sounds like a routine I would do! I've never used c20 because I'm worried my skin is too sensitive.
Hi there,
Your videos are awesome and very enlightning!
I wanted to ask you a question: i'm using Klairs Freshly juiced vitamin C. Should I apply it before or after Hado Labo's hyaluronic acid lotion?
Great informative video. Thank you so much! Your skin looks flawless... what foundation and blush do you use?
+music_junkie Thank you!! For blush, I'm wearing Chanel's Alezane. Sorry, I can't remember what foundation I was wearing, although I've started to make a habit of listing what makeup I wear in my videos!
Hi! This review is amazing, so informative!! I love Retexturing Activiator a lot but i was told to use it before my regular serum as a prep, and that it works well before CF Ferulic but from ur review i understand it’s not exactly how it should be used. Is RA is supposed to be the only product i can put on my face or i can combine it with others, like cream or oil on top? Thank u
What colour should the liquid be for the SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic when it first arrives? I've read a lot of conflicting things on the internet. From you video though, I can see it's almost clear with a slight yellow tinge? Thank you!!
please can you do an updated video about serums & ampules , love you
Love your videos! Very informative and helpful. What's the different between C E Ferulic and Hydrating B5 Gel? Is B5 more suitable for dehydrated skin? Thanks.
I just discovered your channel 7 days ago and I have been obsessed with it ever since ! I don't know why I didn't come across it years ago?! I love how you, like me, focus on ingredients and not the brand. I had a question about Missha TR Night Repair Science Activator amapoule - the link takes us to a product called Missha TR NR Borabi Ampoule. Same brand but what it says on the bottle in your vdo is different from the link you provided. Is it the same product? upgraded version?
Love your vid. A knowledgeable one, knowing what are the key ingredients that we should look for for a good product
+adeying Thank you!
I used to use the red serum from skin and lab because i have alot of acne scars, I wanted to change the serum for a new one, I have dry acne prone due to ingredient sensitivit... I use a vitamin c serum already, what would you recommend for brightening and evening skintone and giving it a glow, sulwahsoo first care activating serum or the manyo factory galactomyces niacin treatment, you are a very big inspiration to me and taught me alot about beauty
Hi! You are so sweet! The Sulwhasoo first care is more of a first treatment essence. My personal pick for you would be the manyo factory. Have you used other fermented essences? Try it out and see if your skin likes it!
Thank you so so much!
one of my favorite skincare routine channel. Thanks Renee, very informative videos, you are such a down to earth person❤
Aw thank you!
I had to watch it twice because I was just looking at your beautiful skin (you are so beautiful too:-) ) Thanks for such detailed video!!
Aww thank you so much!!!
I love your videos. I’ve been watching you almost everyday. I learned a lot. I am so into k beauty and so k serums. But i live in the US, would you now in 2020 still recommend skinceuticals.
Great and informative video, I am learning soooo much! One question regarding the Missha Night Repair Serum ingredient I noticed that it contains both Retinol and Lactic Acid... is that okay?
Thanks Renee for the video, it's very helpful and informative :D.
Do you have any products (toner, hydration and moisturizer creams) to recommend to use alongside with those kind of serums, please?
I love the Mizon snail ampoule!
Helps with hyperpigmentation and hydration.
My question with the ce phloertin is the vitamin C, I had always though that vitamin C is destroyed by UV rays, I’ve always thought vitamin C was supposed to be used at night
Thank you for all your videos. You're fantastic!
I need your suggestion. I bought CE FERULIC but despite is brand new and perfectly sealed, it is light orange....yellow. It is good?
Hi Renee! I have been using a dermatologist prescribed retinol for a few years now, however I feel my skin has never gotten used to it and I have extremely sensitive, irritated skin because of it. I often have huge red patches on my cheeks specifically. I want to experiment with other products, but I know it is not good to mix retinol with many products like acids etc. Why did you stop using a retinol product and switch to only using the Missha Ampoule? Does this product have enough retinol in it to really compare with a dermo prescribed retinol product that will do enough anti-aging work? Thanks!
Love your vids you are so informative,just a request if you can recommend more products for hormonal acne or combination skin more in general,thx
Any suggestion for someone in late 20's with dry/dehydrated very sensitive skin that is caffeine free (teas), and gluten free? Want to take care of my skin and prevent visible signs of aging, but I am struggling to find something healthy, actually beneficial that won't irritate my skin.
Hi Renee! Hope you are doing well. Can you please make an updated video for this topic. Cause a lot of products are new in the market, i was wondering if you can make a dedicated video. Thanks in advance♥️
U make everything sound so easy and simple ❤️ always keeping us engaged 😫🌹
Thank you for making this video as i was just about to order the Mizon Ampoule & was searching for reviews!
Appreciate how clear & articulate your videos seem to be :) x
+Giasaysthat Thank you so much!
Never heard of ampoules before. They sound so cool. Must get the Missha one lol! Kiehl's Biological Peel is another urea based gel that's really gentle. Your channel is so informative, thank you. :D
+Aaron Cajti Thank you! And thanks for the info on Kiehl's, something for me to check out!
Just found you on TH-cam and just two of your videos have answered all my skincare confusions! Also, what lipstick are you wearing lol I love the color!
