Whenever you talk about how long ago your accutane journey was I get a little sentimental, in a weird way. I was in an abusive marriage at that time & I watched your videos religiously, at 6pm, & binged them all again when I needed an escape & could get it. Thank you for being one of the realest, calming, & truthful content creators I’ve ever come across. I am so freaking proud of you. Idk if that’s weird cuz I don’t actually know you but I am. I’m grateful for you & your content
That Aquaphor Healing Ointment Advanced Therapy (used for lips) is one of the best things for me you've ever recommended. I put it in Christmas stockings a few years ago, and now all generations of my family use it💜
Thank you for this video, Taylor! Not only is it super informative, but it helped me. Depression has me in a stranglehold today, but this encouraged me to do my skincare and now I’m feeling better. It’s crazy how just simply washing your face and brushing your teeth can be so helpful during depressive episodes. Your videos also help. Thank you again. I hope you’re doing well and everything is going smoothly with packing and moving. 😊♥️✨
I know you make these videos and you’re thinking oh maybe someone will like these ideas but.. you literally make my life. I’m not lying. I used to walk into a makeup /skincare section of any store and break into a full sweat. I had full on panic attacks because I had no idea what I was doing or looking at , it may as well been in French. Now I go to the drop box write down what I want in my notes on my phone and go. Thank you so much for doing these videos and simplifying my makeup & skincare regime. You’re the best I love you so much.
Your videos really helped me. I spent so much time and money trying to find the right skincare for my skin and they all failed. My sister showed me your video from last year and I bought the products and they work way better than the drug store ones I bought. Thank you and I look forward to seeing more of your skincare videos
I’ve gotten the Cerave cleanser, cerave night cream the ink list retinol, aqua for lip ointment and the simple toner I’ve been using for about 6 days now… no new breakouts which is wild for me and the ones I did have are finally coming to a head and healing my face feels really good. I suffer from adult acne right now I never had when I was younger Thankyou for posting this you are very brave and a such a great person I will be getting the other stuff soon taking it little at a time but so far very pleased with these products right now thanks again🙏
Yay for sunscreen! The reason you use moisturizer before oil is because oil creates a seal that moisturizer can’t penetrate. But skincare is very personal so whatever works for you. I only use my hands because I don’t want to over exfoliate with cloths and rounds, and use a chemical exfoliant twice a week on days I’m not using retinol (also twice a week) and then give my skin a break on weekends with just hydration :) but I have sensitive skin.
You changed my life the first time you recommended Paula's Choice BHA 🥰 I was dealing with so much hormonal acne and I had tried so many products for years and this was the only one that absolutely changed the game for me. So thank you!
Realistically I'll do half these steps. Because I'm a busy work from home mom, homeschooling, trying to spend time with my man etc. But I appreciate all of it because it's so informative.
You've come so far! Five years and I've been watching specifically for your skin repair journey. Well done. You give hope to the young ones that their skin can be smooth and healthy. ❤️👸🏻
I have mature, very dry skin and I add a drop or two of oil with my moisturizer. It makes my foundation application smooth and flawless. If i forget to use it, my makeup will look cakey and I regret it the rest of the day. It's been a game changer for me. I apply to the perimeter first, and to my Tzone whatever is leftover on my palms. Fortunately, I never look greasy, even in the Florida humidity in the summer.
@@Future-zx9ts I'm so extra, I've been layering with 2 different moisturizers. I realized I bought a new moisturizer way too soon (it was on sale). I already have 2 opened containers, so I'm trying to use them both, to finish them faster. It's the best decision ever and my skin loves it, while still using the 2 drops of oil!
I love roc products. They make my wallet cry (they're not super high end, but I definitely consider them expensive), but I just absolutely love them. Their face day/night cremes do have fragrance, but I honestly like it. It reminds me of that one time... long before being a (single) mom, when I still had money and a life, I went to a spa. It gives me those 5 minutes of a scent-induced flashback and just makes it that little bit more special to me because of it. I truly do feel like I see a difference when I use it regularly. I just really suck at using products consistently, always have, but on top of that life has been so stressful I sometimes don't wash my face for days, let alone do anything resembling a routine 😕 you really don't get "me-time" as a single mom, other than at night and then I often just pass out
I also find that oil before moisturizer works much better for my skin! Everyone says the opposite but skincare is definitely trial and error and what works best for you- love your videos ☺️
I just use my cereve facial moisturizer as an eye cream. It’s fragrance free and doesn’t burn. There isn’t any need to purchase another product. I learned this from doctor dray here on TH-cam.
For all my dry skin gals the colourpop avocado facial milk(not just any of the face milks but specifically that one)is the best hydrating item I have ever used. It's hydrating snd soothing. It really cures any flaking and dryness overnight. If you dont want to use a facial oil then this is a excellent alternative. It works just as good and is super affordable. Plus I think colourpop is having 25% site wide right now.
lot of people says that creams can't go throught oils so oil should be the last step of your routine but I'm no expert here, do what works for you 😄 a moisturizer that I think you would love is the Aveeno oat gel moisturizer ( don't let the name fool you. it is actually a thick cream)
I picked up the CeraVe cleanser for oily skin based on how much you had liked the one for normal/dry and I never looked back. That was probably 4 years ago (maybe 5). I haven't used anything else since and I don't regret it. It has been phenomenal at cleaning my face and NOT leaving it feeling stripped.
Only person I trust right here. Bought the Paula’s choice this year, I believe, and my skin looks soo good that people’s be complimenting my skin all the time🙏🏽
I own so much skincare that you recommended 🥰 thank you!! I recently bought The Paula’s Choice BHA and I am gradually building up to every night. I have VERY dry skin so I can’t do it every night but hopefully I’ll be able to eventually. P.S. all eye creams either make my eyes water intensely or they break me out. I use regular face moisturizer too …
The Ordinary Rosehip Oil has been my savior since Accutane as well. Just the glow it gives you after you’ve used it for months is something else. This video made me want to try the Bubble products👀 Love this video🖤
I tried cera ve because of you, my skin is oily but dehydrated it works great, its cheap and it keeps my skin clean. I wish that the anti aging range was available in Europe.
One thing that changed my skin texture so much was incorporating azelaic acid into my morning and nighttime routines; I use finacea gel 15% but Touch's Bright and Clear cream and Topicals' Faded are great OTC options 💛
The best product I've been using for the past three months to get rid of texture is the Good Molecules Overnight Exfoliating Treatment. It has lactic, glycolic and salicylic acids and I saw a difference after a week of use!! It has replaced The Ordinary's "red" Peeling Solution, that can be irritating!! AND, it's $6😱😱
@@mimivb87 I have mature skin where I deal with dullness from slow cell turnover. This product is the best exfoliator I've used. Now I have used AHA/BHA acids for MANY years, so my skin is used to it. If you try this, only use it a couple of times a week until your skin gets used to it. I use four drops every night!
@@JPMJPM On my skin it is. I have found using milder actives more often work better on my skin. I haven't needed to use the peeling solution for several months now! The Good Molecules niacinamide is much better as well. Much less drying.
OMG, I started using the Cerave Night Cream is my HG. I started about a month ago & my skin looks just bright & fresh in the am. I use it in combo with the inky list retinol.
I love most of these products! I had to stop using both the CereVe pm lotion and night cream because I discovered my eyes were incredibly sensitive to anything with niacinamide- which both have. At night, I use the plain CereVe body cream on my face- loads of ceremides and holds moisture in until the am.
@@adrianaamione8177 Can you tell me when they reformulated them. They made my skin look so good, but my skin always starts breaking out. I have very sensitive skin. So little I can use. Wasted so much money trying drugstore creams and face washes. The only ones that I really like that don't break me out is Neutrogena creamy face wash and latest most favorite is Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser. It has no fragrance. Only down side is doesn't do anything special for my skin other than cleaning it as my 2nd step. Sometimes use it to remove makeup, light foundations though it doesn't take all the makeup off by itself. If I over use products my skin is stripped of natural oils, caused break outs just like having too much oil. My skin is very weird, no fun not being able to use products that make skin glow.
I started using the cerave hydrating cleanser because of you and I’ve been using it for years now!! It’s the best cleanser I’ve ever used for my sensitive dry skin!
I own so much skincare that you recommended 🥰 thank you!! I recently bought The Paula’s Choice BHA and I am gradually building up to every night. I have VERY dry skin so I can’t do it every night but hopefully I’ll be able to eventually.
I LOVE the Inky List retinol. I have built it up to nightly. I was using The Ordinary retinol & just didn't care for the formula/texture. Inky goes on like butter!
That BHA and the RoC pads are fantastic. I can maybe use them once or twice a week. But the RoC, I use on the rough bumpy skin on my upper arms and wow, it really works and I make sure I moisturize. Also, the Aveeno triple oat serum is really great if you have irritation and redness. Great video as always.
What helped me tremendously is this Luna mini 3 t-sonic brush. I am so glad I discovered that brand and started cleansing my face with it. My skin great!
I used to have acne skin when I was a teen but it was very mild, now as an adult my skin is dry AF so I'm always looking for hydration and also products for dark spots/pigmentation and anti aging :) I've been wanting to try the Sunday Riley Vitamin C but it's pricey for me
I bought those ROC resurfacing disks based on your recommendation a while ago and cut them in half like you said and I still have some left. They last for a long time and my face feels great after I used them.
Have loved the CeraVe cleanser since you originally recommended it (I now use the Hydrating Cream to Foam version & love it) & the CeraVe PM moisturizer changed my skin. My almost 9 year old daughter has started using the cleanser & it's so gentle on her skin & works just as well.
I wish CeraVe worked for me. I’ve tried it on and off for years. I used to work with a dermatologist and that was what he recommended. It makes my acne so much worse :( my boyfriend also uses this since coming off of acutane. I want to like it so bad!! I’m glad it works for you though! ☺️
Money saving tip: As a lover and long time user of the Cerave hydrating cleanser, the Equate brand version at Walmart is just as good for half the price.
I forgot which came first- oil or moisturizer so I starred to mix them and never looked back! I mix a few drops of Ordinary Rose Hip and a couple pumps of Cerave PM moisturizer 💯
You and Jessica Braun have both recommended the Aquaphor healing ointment for the lips and I love you both for it! Nothing has worked better for me than that! 💗
I love those RoC pads and have been using them for years but sadly can’t find them anywhere now. Hopefully they are just reformulating and not discontinuing
You turned me on to CeraVe products and I'll be forever grateful. You and i have different skin types, so the products i prefer are different... But the brand is just spectacular and does so much good for my skin!
Great tips TW. Thank you! I love the PC (Paula's) super hydrate mask. Wow. While I use mostly Paula's choice. I recently got the shine stopper and it did the job I felt a little tingly for a bit & thought nothing of it... It was 35/95F that day. Real feel 38C. Too hot. I later looked into that ingredient list more thoroughly and I found a crappy ingredient. Would not have purchased. Because I love all their products, i didn't read carefully. While it not a major reaction, I will not use this. I don't think it's terrible but I don't take risks with my skin. Especially while using retinol (a couple times a week), skin is more sensitive in the summer... If you're under 35yrs, maybe for special occasions or temps under 30C/ 90F not as bad. Anything above that, your skin is more vulnerable. But my reason for this was for higher temps. So sad. I may use on a day when I didn't use retinol the night before... My point, always check ingredient list.
Thanks as always, Taylor, truly you are a gem. I usually keep 2 towels on deck hanging by my shower. The freshest one being the body towel and the oldest in rotation as my towel-dry-my-hair towel. Sometimes if I’m washing my face at my sink I’ll use the hair dry towel around the sink under my elbows to ensure a Niagara Falls drip situation doesn’t take place. Lol
Eye cream is only a marketing thing. Just apply the same facial moisturizer, it works perfectly good, so don't worry! In ten years you'll look just as awesome as you do now! :) xo fellow skin care maniac (also med student)
I really liked the ROC pads, I don't know why I quit using them. I will have to get more. I really like the inkey list cleansing balm. I really takes the makeup off with little effort.
To share a bit of a tip I do is always wash my neck with cleansing oil or balm, cleanser, and toner followed up with all my serums and moisturizer plus oil if I use any
Long awaited video❤️ I don't think anyone should use that Paula's Choice liquid and Retinol in same routine ever!! It's just too much even if you don't have sensitive or reactive skin.
I’ve been following you for soooo long and I went on accutane like right after you and swear I feel like our skin types are so similar through it all. I HIGHLY recommend skin by Blair tonic it’s exfoliating and hydrating and gives such a hydrating glow to the skin! I just know you’d love it as much as I do. That plus her retinol is amazing. Same with the biba Los Angeles plant stem cell serum. All products I absolutely cannot live without that I 110% see differences with.
Oh my God those things on your wrist I forever didn't want to try. And then my aunt got me some, so I knew I had to try them (so that if she asked me I could say that I did) but it actually worked sooo amazing I couldn't believe it. It t totally changed me being able to wash my face in the sink if you still haven't tried it girl you need too!
It sounded like you were trying to say Bakuchiol but that’s just a retinol alternative! Definitely not going to give you near the same results as retinol because it isn’t a retinol. I only use it while I’m pregnant since I can’t use retinol or BHA’s! If someone has ultra sensitive skin that’s probably a good product to start with though and build up tolerance over time and eventually switch to a retinol
For people with eczema, you may wanna avoid the Aquaphor tubes. People with eczema are more prone to lanolin alcohol sensitivity. Try to do a few days of patch testing. If you are sensitive to it, the Aquaphor lip repair doesn't have that ingredient
I absolutely LOVED this video Taylor! I am definitely going to try out some of the products you mentioned! I have followed you for years, I trust your recommendations 100%. I also have to say it is so wonderful to see how beautiful your skin is after dealing with cystic acne as long as you did. You were always beautiful, and you are just gorgeous now!
I was on accutane for 2 years n it was the only thing that worked but after I had scarring from the acne before . And I use the same things u do we’re both the same fair skinned lol. I have tried and use most of what u do but if you haven’t tried Burt’s bees cleansing oil Augh it’s so bomb . And cheap . The neutrogena hydro boost cleansing lotion/milk is also AMAZING I pair those and they are the shxt they don’t dry me out but they get everything off . Also I loved drunk elephants products but the price ain’t it a good dupe for the lala and protini is milk makeup moisturizer it’s thiccc and hydrating but not comedogenic. And that rose hip oil ! ! My god it’s amazing lol but try their B oil it’s bomb asf too but beware about it around ur eyes as it’s a dupe for Sunday Riley’s acne oil . It’s like a acne product but in oil form … for those of us dry skin gals that also break out lol
@@alinatherese1115 I have combination skin. The oil has really helped with discoloration and scarring. Also since I use Tretinoin and exfoliants for managing my acne, the oil has helped with dealing with dry sensitive skin.
Really enjoy how to-the-point these vids are. And it was a lil funny how the AM routine was such a short blip--aint nobody got time in the morning for anything else lol.
Yes!! I'll periodically switch between Garnier micellar water and Elf cleansing balm. I use the CeraVe hydrating cleanser too, but the "cream to foam" and I LOVE it!!
Best product is the Paula's choice bha aha grey bottle its my holy grail plus I use the pmd tool (personal microdermabrasion device) once a week which takes a layer of dead skin and texture away from the skin I highly recommend it
Ugh yes I am obsessed with my CeraVe Hydrating Face Cleanser. I use it every day and it’s become my absolute favorite! I love the moisture it gives me! I have almost all of the products you have shown in this video! I just switch my skin care up so much so I don’t really stick to a routine. Now I know how I can use them all together! 🤍
My favorite vitamin c serum is the Seoul Ceuticals Day Glow. It's under 20$ (on their site), and it is the inky vitamin c serum I've ever seen a difference using. The Sunday Riley CEO didn't do it for me.
I love the Roc pads and CeraVe face wash. My staple routine items thanks to you- and they’ve been wonderful! I also use the Paula’s choice and wow- it’s made my skin so smooth. I’ll forever have those three items- and I recommend them to all my friends too. 🖤 🧖🏻♀️
Yess!! I only use CeraVe Hydrating cleanser, but the Target/Ulta hoarder in me wants to try more. I'm gonna pick up the la roche posay one, the ingredients look super gentle. Yahoooo
Wow. I can’t believe your skin has transformed so much. I want to go on acutane because i had the worst, painful breakouts late last year that was so hard to get rid of and it seems to want to return plus other pimples. This is definitely helpful
Thanks, I need help with covering my textured skin, since you’re the boss, can u do a primer , foundation, powder, look for textured skin? Thanks for your research girl 🚕🚕♾
Thank you TW. I use the same cerave & la Roche posay cleanser. I don't wear much make up but because I pile on the sunscreen during the summer and I don't go out for long periods of time (work from home) Im finding that it's harder to remove all of it. Was going to get the cerave cleansing balm But will look into the purito you use. Thanks! I also use the PC exfoliator. Love it. I've tried others even from PC, the same 2% called pore refine. However, I don't get the same results. But I still use it when my skin is more sensitive. Mostly to use it up. It's still great but not as good as (in comparison). And the rosehip! But I use the kosmea! It does not have a scent. It's gold & all you said. For me it also gives a nice glow the next morning. I feel it seals in products and I wake up not even wanting to rinse my face. .. so good. If I remember correctly, it shouldn't have a scent. And it spoils quickly (oxidation) this is when it could smell. I buy the smallest size even though it's cheaper to get the bigger size. While I use it regularly, things happen. Lastly, I am 40 and never had any skin issues except for acne 14-16. Left me acne scars around my cheek mostly (indents). No discoloration... But 2 years ago I started getting freckles. So I thought. I am light / med. Tan easily. Turns out I have hyperpigmentation/ sun spots. About an inch on either side of cheek bones. These are from my tanning days. Sun and beds. Aaaand, I only started using sunscreen properly only about 4 years ago. Ive always taken care of my skin otherwise because of my acne years. Never wanted that to happened again. Didn't risk it. I never go to bed without showering (washing face) to this day. I used to get facials... I did a lot of good but. Unfortunately 20 years ago I thought essential oils were good because they were natural. Now we know they are volatile and skin sensitizing. And aside from sun damage which was not visible until 2 years ago, I never wore sunscreen (max of 20spf in make up or tinted moisturiser). That being said, I have friends with more issues than me who have worn sunscreen longer... Even though they didn't suntan... My point, I feel fragrance & essential oils have been big in my current skin issues. While I've never worn a lot of fragrance, the year I started to get sensitive and spots, I was using Charlotte Tilbury wonder glow. And a few other products with minimal fragrance & other not so good stuff ( alcohol, witch hazel, some volatile extracts), Including Caudeli. One reason I love pC is that even if I don't use for a couple months, it takes longer than that to see a decrease in skin quality (for lack of a better word) with Caudeli and other such products, I find that when I stop, the changes are noticable much sooner. My second point being, with age youre body/skin more sensitive, reactive, less resilient and does not tolerate the same. As I said I never had skin issues except acne ( a big one) but I never reacted to any products before my forties. Now things are different. I believe that is because of the tanning and essential oils... mostly. While thankful it started later than sooner (Compared to others). It still sucks & skincare or anything I use is more costly & I've had to put in the time to check things out. I think what set it off was the Charlotte Tilbury wonder, glam setting spray & a few others. Even though I didn't realize how sensitive my skin had become, I had been using la Roche posay toleriane line. Pheww. I liked the simplicity... Now my skin is actually pretty sensitive. I mostly use PC (Paula's) a couple la Roche posay and very few other skin products that I try like NIOD smdm mist. When a product doesn't show results after stopping for a week or anything under a month. I don't buy again. I consider it make up like/ superficial. & Not doing anything. and for the price of things, except for makeup, it better be yielding more than superficial results. In other words, doing more than what makeup does. Not paying for temporary results when there are some pretty fantastic stuff available now. So, be careful what you use. Now and 10 years down the road are very different. And depending on what you do now will determine your 40s... A younger friend of mine is counting on future developments/advances but the question is how much will it cost you? And not a lot works for everyone. I recently tried a hyperpigmentation kit from dr. V. Mine were so small and it didn't work for me after 6 months. I went back to pC using ther newer product discoloration serum and a few other products and it's working. Slowly but surely. DrV.s Didn't do anything for me. Who knows why. With that in mind, I'll do what I can do now and see what's available later. Not counting on what could be. .. Again thanks for the vid! Always enjoy your vids. My fav. Is the pore make up vid. Thank you. Great tips on all & know how, reviews & more.
I’m a greasy bish and I love that CeraVe night cream. It’s fantastic. I do the SA cream right now (I have so many tubs of CeraVe 😂), but I’m gonna go get more of the night one. I forgot how much I loved it. And I legit *just* got back from a Walgreens run to get that No7 primer you recommended. We have such diff skin types, but you’ve given me more holy grail recs than anyone! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I got the scrunchi wrist things from Amazon for my skincare routine instead of the skincare sleeves that charge you shipping! They work REALLY well!! I love the Inkey list Retinol. My holy grail in my nighttime skincare routine.
ACCUTANE WAS 5 YEARS AGO?? Geeze time flies, I can’t believe I’ve been watching since even before that lol
My exact thoughts 😅
How can that be? 5 years 🤯
Same!!
Sameeeee
Me too!
Whenever you talk about how long ago your accutane journey was I get a little sentimental, in a weird way. I was in an abusive marriage at that time & I watched your videos religiously, at 6pm, & binged them all again when I needed an escape & could get it.

Try the vanicream ointment. I think you'll love that even more!
the cerave healing ointment is even better IMO :)

Take the day off balm is my fav holy grail I have tried 100 oils and balms and Clinique is my num 1
Yay for sunscreen!
The reason you use moisturizer before oil is because oil creates a seal that moisturizer can’t penetrate. But skincare is very personal so whatever works for you. I only use my hands because I don’t want to over exfoliate with cloths and rounds, and use a chemical exfoliant twice a week on days I’m not using retinol (also twice a week) and then give my skin a break on weekends with just hydration :) but I have sensitive skin.
You changed my life the first time you recommended Paula's Choice BHA 🥰 I was dealing with so much hormonal acne and I had tried so many products for years and this was the only one that absolutely changed the game for me. So thank you!

I honestly depend on your opinions for products and have actually sent links to your videos to my friends. I appreciate your hard work!
Only person I trust right here. Bought the Paula’s choice this year, I believe, and my skin looks soo good that people’s be complimenting my skin all the time🙏🏽
Taylor you need to watch Dr Dray! My skin has gotten so much better because of her.
I own so much skincare that you recommended 🥰 thank you!! I recently bought The Paula’s Choice BHA and I am gradually building up to every night. I have VERY dry skin so I can’t do it every night but hopefully I’ll be able to eventually.
P.S. all eye creams either make my eyes water intensely or they break me out. I use regular face moisturizer too …
U turned my onto the ROC Daily Resurfacing disks. LOVE them and I really feel like they make a difference with my skin texture and brightness
The Ordinary Rosehip Oil has been my savior since Accutane as well. Just the glow it gives you after you’ve used it for months is something else. This video made me want to try the Bubble products👀 Love this video🖤
I tried cera ve because of you, my skin is oily but dehydrated it works great, its cheap and it keeps my skin clean. I wish that the anti aging range was available in Europe.
One thing that changed my skin texture so much was incorporating azelaic acid into my morning and nighttime routines; I use finacea gel 15% but Touch's Bright and Clear cream and Topicals' Faded are great OTC options 💛
I second azelaic acid! Game changer for my skin. I use prescription but i didn’t mind the ordinary one.
The best product I've been using for the past three months to get rid of texture is the Good Molecules Overnight Exfoliating Treatment. It has lactic, glycolic and salicylic acids and I saw a difference after a week of use!! It has replaced The Ordinary's "red" Peeling Solution, that can be irritating!! AND, it's $6😱😱
That sounds amazing! What skintype do you have?
@@mimivb87 I have mature skin where I deal with dullness from slow cell turnover. This product is the best exfoliator I've used. Now I have used AHA/BHA acids for MANY years, so my skin is used to it. If you try this, only use it a couple of times a week until your skin gets used to it. I use four drops every night!
@@Patti-1962 thank you for replying Patti 😊
It’s less irritating than The Ordinary’s red peeling solution? But more effective? Really?
@@JPMJPM On my skin it is. I have found using milder actives more often work better on my skin. I haven't needed to use the peeling solution for several months now! The Good Molecules niacinamide is much better as well. Much less drying.
OMG, I started using the Cerave Night Cream is my HG. I started about a month ago & my skin looks just bright & fresh in the am. I use it in combo with the inky list retinol.
I’m OBSESSED with that product, esp with a retinol!
I love most of these products! I had to stop using both the CereVe pm lotion and night cream because I discovered my eyes were incredibly sensitive to anything with niacinamide- which both have. At night, I use the plain CereVe body cream on my face- loads of ceremides and holds moisture in until the am.
Cerave reformulated all their products. I can't use them anymore.
@@adrianaamione8177 Can you tell me when they reformulated them. They made my skin look so good, but my skin always starts breaking out. I have very sensitive skin. So little I can use. Wasted so much money trying drugstore creams and face washes. The only ones that I really like that don't break me out is Neutrogena creamy face wash and latest most favorite is Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser. It has no fragrance. Only down side is doesn't do anything special for my skin other than cleaning it as my 2nd step. Sometimes use it to remove makeup, light foundations though it doesn't take all the makeup off by itself. If I over use products my skin is stripped of natural oils, caused break outs just like having too much oil. My skin is very weird, no fun not being able to use products that make skin glow.
5 years! I was following you before you even started accutane!
Omg thanks!!
I started using the cerave hydrating cleanser because of you and I’ve been using it for years now!! It’s the best cleanser I’ve ever used for my sensitive dry skin!
2am and ready to sleep but I see a post.. I watch it. Can’t believe it’s been nearly 5 years since the accutane journey.
I own so much skincare that you recommended 🥰 thank you!! I recently bought The Paula’s Choice BHA and I am gradually building up to every night. I have VERY dry skin so I can’t do it every night but hopefully I’ll be able to eventually.
I LOVE the Inky List retinol. I have built it up to nightly. I was using The Ordinary retinol & just didn't care for the formula/texture. Inky goes on like butter!
That BHA and the RoC pads are fantastic. I can maybe use them once or twice a week. But the RoC, I use on the rough bumpy skin on my upper arms and wow, it really works and I make sure I moisturize. Also, the Aveeno triple oat serum is really great if you have irritation and redness. Great video as always.
Rule of thumb is thinnest to thickest product so moisturizer should go on first then oil to lock in all that moisture
What helped me tremendously is this Luna mini 3 t-sonic brush. I am so glad I discovered that brand and started cleansing my face with it. My skin great!
I used to have acne skin when I was a teen but it was very mild, now as an adult my skin is dry AF so I'm always looking for hydration and also products for dark spots/pigmentation and anti aging :) I've been wanting to try the Sunday Riley Vitamin C but it's pricey for me
The Aquaphor lip ointment is my ride or die. I have other ones I rotate between, but it's the one I always come back to!
I bought those ROC resurfacing disks based on your recommendation a while ago and cut them in half like you said and I still have some left. They last for a long time and my face feels great after I used them.
Have loved the CeraVe cleanser since you originally recommended it (I now use the Hydrating Cream to Foam version & love it) & the CeraVe PM moisturizer changed my skin. My almost 9 year old daughter has started using the cleanser & it's so gentle on her skin & works just as well.
I love that CeraVe cleanser. My dry skin just loves it so much. I also notice a difference when I'm not using it regularly.
I wish CeraVe worked for me. I’ve tried it on and off for years. I used to work with a dermatologist and that was what he recommended. It makes my acne so much worse :( my boyfriend also uses this since coming off of acutane. I want to like it so bad!! I’m glad it works for you though! ☺️
Money saving tip: As a lover and long time user of the Cerave hydrating cleanser, the Equate brand version at Walmart is just as good for half the price.
I forgot which came first- oil or moisturizer so I starred to mix them and never looked back! I mix a few drops of Ordinary Rose Hip and a couple pumps of Cerave PM moisturizer 💯
I get way better results for my skin when I mix them, too!
You and Jessica Braun have both recommended the Aquaphor healing ointment for the lips and I love you both for it! Nothing has worked better for me than that! 💗
I love those RoC pads and have been using them for years but sadly can’t find them anywhere now. Hopefully they are just reformulating and not discontinuing
Thank you so much for having so many affordable and drug store product recommendations, because most of us are not buying multiple products over $30!
You turned me on to CeraVe products and I'll be forever grateful. You and i have different skin types, so the products i prefer are different... But the brand is just spectacular and does so much good for my skin!
Great tips TW. Thank you! I love the PC (Paula's) super hydrate mask. Wow. While I use mostly Paula's choice. I recently got the shine stopper and it did the job I felt a little tingly for a bit & thought nothing of it... It was 35/95F that day. Real feel 38C. Too hot. I later looked into that ingredient list more thoroughly and I found a crappy ingredient. Would not have purchased. Because I love all their products, i didn't read carefully. While it not a major reaction, I will not use this. I don't think it's terrible but I don't take risks with my skin. Especially while using retinol (a couple times a week), skin is more sensitive in the summer... If you're under 35yrs, maybe for special occasions or temps under 30C/ 90F not as bad. Anything above that, your skin is more vulnerable. But my reason for this was for higher temps. So sad. I may use on a day when I didn't use retinol the night before... My point, always check ingredient list.
Thanks as always, Taylor, truly you are a gem. I usually keep 2 towels on deck hanging by my shower. The freshest one being the body towel and the oldest in rotation as my towel-dry-my-hair towel. Sometimes if I’m washing my face at my sink I’ll use the hair dry towel around the sink under my elbows to ensure a Niagara Falls drip situation doesn’t take place. Lol
Aquaphor as eye cream is the best!!
The CeraVe cream to foam cleanser really removes my makeup well. I love it so much!
Eye cream is only a marketing thing. Just apply the same facial moisturizer, it works perfectly good, so don't worry! In ten years you'll look just as awesome as you do now! :) xo fellow skin care maniac (also med student)
I really liked the ROC pads, I don't know why I quit using them. I will have to get more. I really like the inkey list cleansing balm. I really takes the makeup off with little effort.
To share a bit of a tip I do is always wash my neck with cleansing oil or balm, cleanser, and toner followed up with all my serums and moisturizer plus oil if I use any
Long awaited video❤️
I don't think anyone should use that Paula's Choice liquid and Retinol in same routine ever!! It's just too much even if you don't have sensitive or reactive skin.
I love the Vinoperfect serum! But no longer use because of the fragrance. Definitely evened our my skin tone BIG TIME.
I started watching you when you were on accutane. I can't believe it's been that long since then!
I appreciate that you link all your products!!!
Taking a lunch break right when you post is the mini-magic I needed today. 🖤
I’ve been following you for soooo long and I went on accutane like right after you and swear I feel like our skin types are so similar through it all. I HIGHLY recommend skin by Blair tonic it’s exfoliating and hydrating and gives such a hydrating glow to the skin! I just know you’d love it as much as I do. That plus her retinol is amazing. Same with the biba Los Angeles plant stem cell serum. All products I absolutely cannot live without that I 110% see differences with.
Oh my God those things on your wrist I forever didn't want to try. And then my aunt got me some, so I knew I had to try them (so that if she asked me I could say that I did) but it actually worked sooo amazing I couldn't believe it. It t totally changed me being able to wash my face in the sink if you still haven't tried it girl you need too!
With the oil verses moisturizer first or last, I actually mix the two together on my face and that seems to work also
It sounded like you were trying to say Bakuchiol but that’s just a retinol alternative! Definitely not going to give you near the same results as retinol because it isn’t a retinol. I only use it while I’m pregnant since I can’t use retinol or BHA’s! If someone has ultra sensitive skin that’s probably a good product to start with though and build up tolerance over time and eventually switch to a retinol
My own skincare routine has been totally inspired by your reccomendations! ❤🌯
🖤🖤🖤
For people with eczema, you may wanna avoid the Aquaphor tubes. People with eczema are more prone to lanolin alcohol sensitivity. Try to do a few days of patch testing. If you are sensitive to it, the Aquaphor lip repair doesn't have that ingredient
I absolutely LOVED this video Taylor! I am definitely going to try out some of the products you mentioned! I have followed you for years, I trust your recommendations 100%. I also have to say it is so wonderful to see how beautiful your skin is after dealing with cystic acne as long as you did. You were always beautiful, and you are just gorgeous now!
I was on accutane for 2 years n it was the only thing that worked but after I had scarring from the acne before . And I use the same things u do we’re both the same fair skinned lol. I have tried and use most of what u do but if you haven’t tried Burt’s bees cleansing oil Augh it’s so bomb . And cheap . The neutrogena hydro boost cleansing lotion/milk is also AMAZING I pair those and they are the shxt they don’t dry me out but they get everything off . Also I loved drunk elephants products but the price ain’t it a good dupe for the lala and protini is milk makeup moisturizer it’s thiccc and hydrating but not comedogenic. And that rose hip oil ! ! My god it’s amazing lol but try their B oil it’s bomb asf too but beware about it around ur eyes as it’s a dupe for Sunday Riley’s acne oil . It’s like a acne product but in oil form … for those of us dry skin gals that also break out lol
The PC BHA is in a league of it's own. And the rosehip oil from the ordinary always makes a huge difference.
What kind of difference does the oil make? And what skin type do you have? Thanks!
@@alinatherese1115 I have combination skin. The oil has really helped with discoloration and scarring. Also since I use Tretinoin and exfoliants for managing my acne, the oil has helped with dealing with dry sensitive skin.
@@sreejitadutta7432 thank you!
I’ve been using Prickly Pear Seed Oil buy GOW. Best facial oil hands down. Full of antioxidants. Love it.
Really enjoy how to-the-point these vids are. And it was a lil funny how the AM routine was such a short blip--aint nobody got time in the morning for anything else lol.
Yes!! I'll periodically switch between Garnier micellar water and Elf cleansing balm. I use the CeraVe hydrating cleanser too, but the "cream to foam" and I LOVE it!!
You are so right about rosehip seed oil, it is the best oil ever, nothing gives my skin that silky feeling👌♥️
Best product is the Paula's choice bha aha grey bottle its my holy grail plus I use the pmd tool (personal microdermabrasion device) once a week which takes a layer of dead skin and texture away from the skin I highly recommend it
How often do you use the Paula’s choice bha?
@@Kitkat_foodie once a day
Have you tried the Timeless Vitamin C? Also a great formula but much more affordable than Sunday Riley!
Omg I’ve watched you for more than 5 years 😱 that’s insane. It does not seem like that long. Time truly flies
Your high ponytail is so cute!
And of course, I LOVE a good skincare routine video. I also love a good Taylor video no matter what it is!
Ugh yes I am obsessed with my CeraVe Hydrating Face Cleanser. I use it every day and it’s become my absolute favorite! I love the moisture it gives me! I have almost all of the products you have shown in this video! I just switch my skin care up so much so I don’t really stick to a routine. Now I know how I can use them all together! 🤍
Love my CereVe hydrating cleanser❣️ I need to get back to using the Paula’s Choice on a regular basis😬
The Sunday Riley ceo vitamin c cream is so good. I like the ceo serum but the cream hydrates and makes my skin glo, I love it.
I’ve been waiting for this I had pretty bad acne and now my skin is similar to yours 💜
My favorite vitamin c serum is the Seoul Ceuticals Day Glow. It's under 20$ (on their site), and it is the inky vitamin c serum I've ever seen a difference using.
The Sunday Riley CEO didn't do it for me.
I love the Roc pads and CeraVe face wash. My staple routine items thanks to you- and they’ve been wonderful! I also use the Paula’s choice and wow- it’s made my skin so smooth. I’ll forever have those three items- and I recommend them to all my friends too. 🖤 🧖🏻♀️
Yess!! I only use CeraVe Hydrating cleanser, but the Target/Ulta hoarder in me wants to try more. I'm gonna pick up the la roche posay one, the ingredients look super gentle. Yahoooo
Wow. I can’t believe your skin has transformed so much. I want to go on acutane because i had the worst, painful breakouts late last year that was so hard to get rid of and it seems to want to return plus other pimples. This is definitely helpful
Thanks, I need help with covering my textured skin, since you’re the boss, can u do a primer , foundation, powder, look for textured skin? Thanks for your research girl 🚕🚕♾
What do you mean by textured skin? Super dry and flaky? Or acne?
OMG. Lobe how you get right to the point. No nonsense or pretense. Solid info too. New subscriber.
Squeaky clean = stripped . I love the La roche posay
hydrating cleanser! It’s my HG! I buy it on sell for $10
Thank you TW. I use the same cerave & la Roche posay cleanser. I don't wear much make up but because I pile on the sunscreen during the summer and I don't go out for long periods of time (work from home) Im finding that it's harder to remove all of it. Was going to get the cerave cleansing balm But will look into the purito you use. Thanks! I also use the PC exfoliator. Love it. I've tried others even from PC, the same 2% called pore refine. However, I don't get the same results. But I still use it when my skin is more sensitive. Mostly to use it up. It's still great but not as good as (in comparison). And the rosehip! But I use the kosmea! It does not have a scent. It's gold & all you said. For me it also gives a nice glow the next morning. I feel it seals in products and I wake up not even wanting to rinse my face. .. so good. If I remember correctly, it shouldn't have a scent. And it spoils quickly (oxidation) this is when it could smell. I buy the smallest size even though it's cheaper to get the bigger size. While I use it regularly, things happen. Lastly, I am 40 and never had any skin issues except for acne 14-16. Left me acne scars around my cheek mostly (indents). No discoloration... But 2 years ago I started getting freckles. So I thought. I am light / med. Tan easily. Turns out I have hyperpigmentation/ sun spots. About an inch on either side of cheek bones. These are from my tanning days. Sun and beds. Aaaand, I only started using sunscreen properly only about 4 years ago. Ive always taken care of my skin otherwise because of my acne years. Never wanted that to happened again. Didn't risk it. I never go to bed without showering (washing face) to this day. I used to get facials... I did a lot of good but. Unfortunately 20 years ago I thought essential oils were good because they were natural. Now we know they are volatile and skin sensitizing. And aside from sun damage which was not visible until 2 years ago, I never wore sunscreen (max of 20spf in make up or tinted moisturiser). That being said, I have friends with more issues than me who have worn sunscreen longer... Even though they didn't suntan... My point, I feel fragrance & essential oils have been big in my current skin issues. While I've never worn a lot of fragrance, the year I started to get sensitive and spots, I was using Charlotte Tilbury wonder glow. And a few other products with minimal fragrance & other not so good stuff ( alcohol, witch hazel, some volatile extracts), Including Caudeli.
One reason I love pC is that even if I don't use for a couple months, it takes longer than that to see a decrease in skin quality (for lack of a better word) with Caudeli and other such products, I find that when I stop, the changes are noticable much sooner. My second point being, with age youre body/skin more sensitive, reactive, less resilient and does not tolerate the same. As I said I never had skin issues except acne ( a big one) but I never reacted to any products before my forties. Now things are different. I believe that is because of the tanning and essential oils... mostly. While thankful it started later than sooner (Compared to others). It still sucks & skincare or anything I use is more costly & I've had to put in the time to check things out. I think what set it off was the Charlotte Tilbury wonder, glam setting spray & a few others. Even though I didn't realize how sensitive my skin had become, I had been using la Roche posay toleriane line. Pheww. I liked the simplicity... Now my skin is actually pretty sensitive. I mostly use PC (Paula's) a couple la Roche posay and very few other skin products that I try like NIOD smdm mist. When a product doesn't show results after stopping for a week or anything under a month. I don't buy again. I consider it make up like/ superficial. & Not doing anything. and for the price of things, except for makeup, it better be yielding more than superficial results. In other words, doing more than what makeup does. Not paying for temporary results when there are some pretty fantastic stuff available now. So, be careful what you use. Now and 10 years down the road are very different. And depending on what you do now will determine your 40s... A younger friend of mine is counting on future developments/advances but the question is how much will it cost you? And not a lot works for everyone. I recently tried a hyperpigmentation kit from dr. V. Mine were so small and it didn't work for me after 6 months. I went back to pC using ther newer product discoloration serum and a few other products and it's working. Slowly but surely. DrV.s Didn't do anything for me. Who knows why. With that in mind, I'll do what I can do now and see what's available later. Not counting on what could be. ..
Again thanks for the vid! Always enjoy your vids. My fav. Is the pore make up vid. Thank you. Great tips on all & know how, reviews & more.
I’m a greasy bish and I love that CeraVe night cream. It’s fantastic. I do the SA cream right now (I have so many tubs of CeraVe 😂), but I’m gonna go get more of the night one. I forgot how much I loved it. And I legit *just* got back from a Walgreens run to get that No7 primer you recommended. We have such diff skin types, but you’ve given me more holy grail recs than anyone! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Just started watching your videos and I really appreciate how descriptive you are about things! Thanks!
Been waiting for this for a long long time! Your skin is my goal to get
I got the scrunchi wrist things from Amazon for my skincare routine instead of the skincare sleeves that charge you shipping! They work REALLY well!!
I love the Inkey list Retinol. My holy grail in my nighttime skincare routine.
Omg finally I love when you do skincare videos!! I feel like it's been so long sense your last one. Your recommendations are always on point!
Your skin looks so healthy and happy. It's amazing to see the progress in the past year.
