Teaching my soon to be teenage son about skincare. He doesn’t want to listen to “Mom” so I said “f*ck it” and sent him to your channel. He listens and also cracks up. So thank you!
WELL. Thank the LAWD that we were on the right side of the Best/Worst. Thank you for your kind words James. And you're spot on about pricing. Thank you thank you. 💗
So refreshing to hear someone address the pricing comments that come up, I would gladly spend extra on something like this (and I have on this and similar independent brands) but am getting a bit fed up feeling that I have to justify my choices/spending habits. And let’s face it, we all know that most of the negative comments are from individuals who have a problem with CH rather than the product.
@@sarahmoore2224 did I miss something? Why is someone commenting on a price being unaffordable so upsetting. I’m not familiar with the brand. I’m lost lol
@@sarahmoore2224 You don't need to justify anything. Spend your money on what you want. But anybody who spends that much on any cleanser is really dumb. Own it.
My mature dry skin is doing very well with th Skin Rocks Cleanser. It cleans makeup & spf easily and the fragrance is unique. One thing about Caroline Hirons is that she puts a great deal of thought into the ingredients of her products & knows what is effective. She's paid out of pocket for her skincare line. Tbh, I'd rather support an independent who teaches us so much & is inclusive than a big conglomerate who cuts corners & worries about a bottom line. 💜💖💙❣️
I love how you are really polite and don't want to offend the brands you love like ultra violette but nevertheless say 'it looks like shit' 🤣 I respect it!
3:36 Brazilian coming here to tell you that "açaí" is pronounced exactly how you pronouced it the second time! Ah-sah-ih (with stress on the ih)! Thanks for the great video ❤
Elf's lip balm, when I first got it, I was like "no wonder it's so inexpensive, it's really small" but I've been using it daily for over a month and it's still going!
The best thing about me finding out about you is that im 90% sure we have the same skin type, so whatever you love, I love too!! (Also the fact that your recs cleared my skin and I cried cause I couldn't believe MY SKIN could be acne free. Thank you so much ❤)
I've been holding off from trying Build and Experiment's products while I use up what I already have in my cabinet, but you're making everything, especially B-cream sound even more appealing! I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Build's other products!
I’m now using their serum and the powder to cream cleanser and they’re soo goooooood 😭 everything just…works so well! The serum is great if you are prone to breakouts especially
I feel the same about the Ultra Violette tinted moisturiser. Oh, “Vi” is short for the Violette in Ultra Violette. In the “about us” section it’s just how they refer to brand name for short.
I’m in love with 💚Experiments 💚buffer jelly! I love how it’s niacinamide free (which irritates the crap out of my skin). I live in the high desert (dryyy) and have dry skin. This is seriously the best thing in my nighttime skincare routine.
I think maybe people make the expensive comments about SkinRocks cos CH has always included affordable/less premium skincare in her content etc, but as you say, it's a small independent brand so I get it. Def gonna try the Experiment hydrating serum thing at some point (can't remember what it's called - the blue one). One of those Vichy serums is how I started off layering hydrating products on my skin years ago, ah youth!
I need hydration! My skin has changed completely with age, I'm 63, I used to have combination skin but now it's dry and dehydrated. Everything I try is geared towards adding hydration and plumpness now. Vichy, for all it's claims, falls way short of giving my skin what it needs and I've tried them all. It's definitely an under performer for my skin. My holy grail was Dr. Brandt's Hyaluronic Moisturizer and now they've discontinued it! For anyone out there, it's been replaced by Needles No More and shame on them, because it's sub par to the previous one I loved. Don't waste your money.
I love a cream cleanser! I use a local all-natural brand and it's s bit more expensive but it takes such little product because i don't wear makeup, it really lasts a long time and hydrates my skin so well, worth the investment
I'm experiencing a vicious rosacea flareup and the build skincare cream sounds so good UGGGHHH. I want to use up my Eucerin first but after that I'm definitely going to try Build
Thank you for your recommendation of Builder Skincare. Being Canadian I like to support local business. I also have combination skin. I’ll definitely give these products a try. Thank you!! Greetings from the Yukon 🇨🇦
I really want to try experiment, though I'm a bit worried about the stickiness but it looks so good at the same time especially the glycerin serum and I love the packaging 😊
£32 just for a cleanser is steep! There are many independent skincare brands out there that are reasonably priced too! Geek and gorgeous is one of my favorites this is a quote I found online about them. "Geek & Gorgeous, an independent Hungarian skincare brand that formulates with some of the best ingredients out there without charging you a bomb!"
Interesting, I love the Ultra Violette tinted spf but have personally found it really oily and I have to powder it down. It works well for my combination super oily t zone and dry cheeks. Also the colour match was fantastic for my pale but very yellow tone. Just goes to show individual skin type is everything when finding the perfect product.
You know I love you James. Your channel is my favourite ever and nothing brings me more joy than watching you. But a lot of the products you use are only available to you as an influencer and don’t ordinarily ship to the UK, like the Build range. While I don’t rate the Vichy moisturiser either, at least it’s available in Boots etc for easy buying. Just constructive criticism, not any reflection on you ❤️
I feel like we are using completely different products. I use my normal moisturiser under the ultra violet tinted sunscreen and it is dewy without being oily and makes my skin look super smooth and even toned.
Have you ever done a video on Trader Joe’s skincare? I’m not sure if there’s a Trader Joe’s in the UK, but their skincare (particularly their all in one facial cleanser, antioxidant facial moisturizer, and sunscreen) is really nice and SUPER inexpensive. I think they’re all less than $10.00 USD each. They’re so gentle and they’ve really helped me cut down on costs, and my skin looks much better than it did when I was buying expensive products that promised “too good to be true” results.
Yeah I honestly didn’t even get enough hydration from the vichy serum version of that. It felt like it was gonna plump and quench my skin and it left me very disappointed. I do have combo-dry skin (so more dry but still combo/slightly oily in the t-zone.
hi james!! ive been stretching my ears for a while and have been experimenting with different moisturizers for my ears! ive had a few issues with clogged pores from using different suggested oils and what not. right now, my left ear is at 4mm and my right is at 5mm. ive been wondering what you use to moisture your ears and/or what you used when you were stretching them!
I dont think Ive bought anything faster than Ive just bought Build lol. Im in the US so shipping was $12, but something is going on with my skin its dry af right now. So im down to try it! Thank you!!
All of experiments products are freaking amazing! I started with the Avant Guard mask, then super satty And I purchased buffer jelly as soon as it dropped lol. All of them are so good! James, have you tried regimen lab yet? I love everything they make as well. Between stratia, experiment and regimen lab, If all the other skin care fell off the face of the earth I would be okay as long as I had those three brands ❤❤❤
Can you review the indeed nanobronzer please. What moisturiser would you recommend works best for missing like self tanning drops, bronzing drops etc xx
I stand by my comment on last video, James! $33 for a small sunscreen tube made of paper is silly vanilly. What would it be in normal packaging? $50? What is this, Tom Ford sunscreen? 😅 I tend to be on the side of the consumer needing medical protection rather than the corporation with the ridiculous profit margins 😂
@@JamesWelsh It’s just price gouging based on necessity and now popularity. As an Aesthetician I’m happy to hear people are incorporating sunscreen into their routine, even if it’s just the face.
When you say the skin rocks cleanser is a great double cleanse, do you mean use it twice or just apply dry, emulsify, rinse off and that's it? or follow it up with a different cleanser?
Hi James, I'd like to introduce the best Korean hair spray, that's a water mist type of product that isn't common here in the UK. I was very delighted when I found this product in Korea this Feb when I traveled back. I just tried it out as I found the best-seller sign at a random Olive Young in Korea. I've tried a super wide range of hair spray so far as I curl my hair all the time… nonetheless, this is the best product. I'm thinking to import this product to the UK. I dropped an email the other day to you but no response. I'm wondering how could I send the product to you.
Thank you for reviewing the Ultra Violette Screen Tinted Veil. I was seriously considering buying this product because it sounds amazing and seemed to work wonderfully when I did a swatch on my arm. However, it's not exactly affordable, hence, my hesitation to purchase it. Would it be possible for you to show us what it looks like on your skin so I can remind myself not to purchase it every time my resolve gets weak? 😅
I think this is one that’s really going to come down to everyone’s skin because I didn’t find this drying at all. I have combo oily skin and loved it. It honestly felt like I had nothing on, although it did get super oily through through my t-zone when I was on the train, but once I was back out in the fresh air it settled down again. That does worry me about how I might find it for an Australian summer though, which is a little odd considering it’s an Australian company, although I think from south south rather than the humid north
I work in the cosmetics and was waiting for the mineral 89 cream and to say im dissapointed is an understatement. Its bad. I have oily skin and none of them are hydrating enough like you said and leave a heavy feeling on the skin and im a oily mess 30 min after. I must say almost all of Vichy products are outdated and the texture are thick, heavy and perfumed…Maybe lts good for dry skin but all their gel formulation are the same thick and heavy feeling 😮 😢
OMG! I’ve been watching your videos here and your brother’s on Facebook thinking you’re the same person 🤡 I’m sure I’m not the first one but I’m not gonna lie, I’m still in shock 😅 Love both of your work anyway! xx
I appreciate that you describe product textures and how products feel on the skin in your videos. I hate the tacky/sticky feeling some products (👀 the Ordinary) leave on my skin.
@@JamesWelsh same!! especially because my favorite Elf gel moisturizer is getting discontinued so I'm looking for a replacement. hopefully you can try it! i appreciate you 💚
James: I always get comments about how the products are too expensive. This is not L’Oréal. My translation: shut up and stop fu^*ing moaning, James shows plenty budget friendly options too 😂💕
Is there a way to order skincare from the states and get it delivered to Europe? I'd like to try some of the skincare you recommened but cant get in europe.
Yay! Love Hits and Sh*ts videos. Unrelated question: I've been using a separate toner and essence. I just got the Papa Recipe Noble Rot Lifting Essence to try when my current essence runs out. Is the Noble Rot more of a toner/essence hybrid or should I continue using a separate toner?
James I know you adore glow recipe. I wanted to know if you ever experienced the clay mask feeling like it burning your face off? I tried it for the first time and it felt immediately like my face was burning not tingling...burning I had to take it off. Idk if I got an expired one but it was bad. 😢so sad it didn't work out
@@JamesWelsh that's the thing I have tried other masks youth to the people, the ordinary, peach and lily, even tried Dennis Roth chemical peel pads. I honestly feel like the young lady I got it from probably had it long when she sold me it. It's a small vendor in my country it wasn't directly from Glow Recipe. It smells off but again I can't tell if that's the scent because it's my first time trying. My skin has been good no irritation lately and my tret is helping but I didn't use them together on the same night. So I think it's not the product it's the expiry issue. But thanks. Their cleansing balm is great that's the only I've gotten my hands on for them or than this one. Good effective Skincare is so hard to get in Guyana. Just a few stores sells the trending ones.
I so agree with you on the Vichy Mineral 89 moisturiser! I love the serum so was very excited when that cream came only to be sooo disappointed! I have normal/sensitive but dehydrated skin and I ended up reapplying several times a day or putting a layer of Nivea cream on top... I finished the cream but I really wonder where their 72h claim comes from! (And here's my first ever comment on TH-cam 🤣)
well at the moment after cleansing I use Avene thermal water that I spray and pad dry then I use a toner (currently Pixi's Collagen) then a the Vichy Mineral 89 serum @@TNa-cp3bn . I follow up with Vitamin C. At the moment my moisturiser is n7 Future Renew. It really seals the moisture in (at least on my skin) but I don't like the fact it's fragranced. And more importantly I drink a lot of water. If you use air conditioning that may dry you out too. I feel the serum is the most important thing (in winter I like to use the basic Nivea Cream to seal things up but defo too thick for summer!)
Are cream cleansers not common on the other side of the pond…? I feel like here in the US there are so many cream cleansers, cream to foam, and so on (maybe because I have sensitive skin and a lot of sensitive skin cleansers are cream formats?)
@@angelica2269 I really like the CeraVe cream to foam, it’s not as thick as I’d expect (cerave is in pump bottle, my old discontinued one from Aveeno was in a tube) but it feels lovely and gentle :)
Random question idk y this poped in my head, when u r cleansing do u use it and scrub all in ur beard or would u be using a different product for ur facial hair... And that actually makes me think do u bring any of the products into ur beard...
With the first product, I understand what you're saying about independent brands, but £32 for a cleanser is still absolutely insane! Also it looked like you put it over your eyelids, did that not irritate your eyes?
The issue with Skinrocks is Caroline herself stated cleanser and moisturizers are your bookends and should be inexpensive. Then releases expensive products, I think she is overrated. Good video though 😊
They 100% don’t have to be expensive! But we have access to cheap skincare because billionaire brands can afford to make them so cheap. Not saying that’s a bad thing but when it comes to independent brands, I expect their prices to be higher. I have a lot of respect for her and she is in the position she is in today and recognised for who she is because of her knowledge and experience. Outside of the ‘influencer world’.
Only if you have a limited budget, then CH says to spend it in the middle (serums,treatments etc) because these will make more difference rather than at the ends where you can spend less.
Not ALL indie brands have cleansers 120ml for $40. In this current climate, it's for lunatics lol. Look at Krave or Stratia for instance they are indie brands but their cleansers are bigger and yet $16.
This is the point that I was making earlier about justifying my choices, you’ve basically just called me a lunatic because I am willing to buy a certain product. I respect your decision to not buy “expensive” cleansers so please respect my decision if I’m happy to!
@@sarahmoore2224 you shouldn’t take this so seriously love. You can spend your money on anything you want, it’s your money. Some feel it’s overpriced, and that’s ok too 😊
@@sarahmoore2224 I understand your position, I think people are becoming aggravated with price gouging, and the recent loss in trust in influencers has exacerbated their frustrations. ❤️

Yay! Love Hits and Sh*ts videos. Unrelated question: I've been using a separate toner and essence. I just got the Papa Recipe Noble Rot Lifting Essence to try when my current essence runs out. Is the Noble Rot more of a toner/essence hybrid or should I continue using a separate toner?
Heyyyyyy. Hmmmm I would say there’s no need to use a toner along side it! When I was using it I used it even without a serum sometimes!
@@JamesWelsh Amazing. Thank you! I'm looking forward to trying it. I just want my skin to be the most hydrated. 😆
James I know you adore glow recipe. I wanted to know if you ever experienced the clay mask feeling like it burning your face off? I tried it for the first time and it felt immediately like my face was burning not tingling...burning I had to take it off. Idk if I got an expired one but it was bad. 😢so sad it didn't work out
Heyyyy! No I haven’t! It could just be that maybe your skin is a little impaired at the moment? Does it get easily sensitised?
@@JamesWelsh that's the thing I have tried other masks youth to the people, the ordinary, peach and lily, even tried Dennis Roth chemical peel pads. I honestly feel like the young lady I got it from probably had it long when she sold me it. It's a small vendor in my country it wasn't directly from Glow Recipe. It smells off but again I can't tell if that's the scent because it's my first time trying. My skin has been good no irritation lately and my tret is helping but I didn't use them together on the same night. So I think it's not the product it's the expiry issue. But thanks. Their cleansing balm is great that's the only I've gotten my hands on for them or than this one. Good effective Skincare is so hard to get in Guyana. Just a few stores sells the trending ones.
I so agree with you on the Vichy Mineral 89 moisturiser! I love the serum so was very excited when that cream came only to be sooo disappointed! I have normal/sensitive but dehydrated skin and I ended up reapplying several times a day or putting a layer of Nivea cream on top... I finished the cream but I really wonder where their 72h claim comes from! (And here's my first ever comment on TH-cam 🤣)
I have the same skin type as you. May I ask what you use to hydrate your skin? Mine has been sooo dehydrated lately and im desperate
well at the moment after cleansing I use Avene thermal water that I spray and pad dry then I use a toner (currently Pixi's Collagen) then a the Vichy Mineral 89 serum @@TNa-cp3bn . I follow up with Vitamin C. At the moment my moisturiser is n7 Future Renew. It really seals the moisture in (at least on my skin) but I don't like the fact it's fragranced. And more importantly I drink a lot of water. If you use air conditioning that may dry you out too. I feel the serum is the most important thing (in winter I like to use the basic Nivea Cream to seal things up but defo too thick for summer!)
Is there a way to get experiment skincare in Australia?
Are cream cleansers not common on the other side of the pond…? I feel like here in the US there are so many cream cleansers, cream to foam, and so on (maybe because I have sensitive skin and a lot of sensitive skin cleansers are cream formats?)
Not massively but also I feel brands are launching NEW cream cleansers?
i have sensitive skin too which affordable brands would you recommend as cream cleanser?
@@angelica2269 I really like the CeraVe cream to foam, it’s not as thick as I’d expect (cerave is in pump bottle, my old discontinued one from Aveeno was in a tube) but it feels lovely and gentle :)
I’ve had to resubscribe to you multiple times over the last month.. Wonder if it will stay this time
Random question idk y this poped in my head, when u r cleansing do u use it and scrub all in ur beard or would u be using a different product for ur facial hair... And that actually makes me think do u bring any of the products into ur beard...
I figured u weren't doing that in the video cuz it wouldn't be very appealing by I figured u did when u washed on ur own,
can you try blunt face oil?
The Vichy cream was so disappointing 😢 I was expecting something more along the lines of Etude House Moistfull collagen cream.
What is 'slugging " ? X
With the first product, I understand what you're saying about independent brands, but £32 for a cleanser is still absolutely insane! Also it looked like you put it over your eyelids, did that not irritate your eyes?
JuicyJas reviewed the ELF lip balms and she said the same thing. She wasn’t sure if they were or weren’t supposed to have a color to them
Yeah they’re weird. I feel like you could layer them up to get the tint the website shows but then I feel it may be…too much?!
Hi! Ultra Violette has a little "character" I guess named "Vi". So in their advertising they use language like "Vi's Favourites!".
I would expect nothing less from the cleansing and flannel queen
hits and s**ts, love it😂❤
@JamesWelsh , how often do you post on TikTok? More often than YT? If so, i'm gonna install tiktok😂
Noooo never! I think the last time I posted on TikTok was…2 months ago?! Lol
@@JamesWelsh ooh, ok 🤣 thanks for the reply
That creme cleanser has spiked my interest!
The worst for me was the GOLD moisurizer literally was like $30-60 but did nothing didn’t even moisturise
Omg I never trust anything with gold in it 😂
I want your sweater
Early 😊 "the two shits today" 😂😂
😂😂😂
The wrong number 😂😂😂😂😂
I just clicked on your recent video and it says its been deleted? X 😔 hope everything is OK
sorry i posted at the wrong time! will be back up this evening :)
@JamesWelsh yay! Thanks James look forward to it 😊 😃
Hi James 👋 ❤
Heyyyyy
The Brazilian fruit açai is pronounced A- ssa - ee ❤
The issue with Skinrocks is Caroline herself stated cleanser and moisturizers are your bookends and should be inexpensive. Then releases expensive products, I think she is overrated. Good video though 😊
They 100% don’t have to be expensive! But we have access to cheap skincare because billionaire brands can afford to make them so cheap. Not saying that’s a bad thing but when it comes to independent brands, I expect their prices to be higher. I have a lot of respect for her and she is in the position she is in today and recognised for who she is because of her knowledge and experience. Outside of the ‘influencer world’.
Only if you have a limited budget, then CH says to spend it in the middle (serums,treatments etc) because these will make more difference rather than at the ends where you can spend less.
Not ALL indie brands have cleansers 120ml for $40. In this current climate, it's for lunatics lol.
Look at Krave or Stratia for instance they are indie brands but their cleansers are bigger and yet $16.
This is the point that I was making earlier about justifying my choices, you’ve basically just called me a lunatic because I am willing to buy a certain product. I respect your decision to not buy “expensive” cleansers so please respect my decision if I’m happy to!
@@sarahmoore2224 you shouldn’t take this so seriously love. You can spend your money on anything you want, it’s your money. Some feel it’s overpriced, and that’s ok too 😊
@@SAce-fo7pg Exactly, it’s ok either way but I’m not personally rude about people who think it’s expensive.
@@sarahmoore2224 I understand your position, I think people are becoming aggravated with price gouging, and the recent loss in trust in influencers has exacerbated their frustrations. ❤️
