Thank you for educating people about SLS in toothpaste! All through my childhood and teenage years, I had terrible mouth sores that we thought were canker sores. It was so hard to eat and talk and even smile. Then my mother read something about SLS allergies in the newspaper and I switched to Sensodyne and I haven't had a problem for about twenty years now! Such an easy fix to make such a HUGE difference!
I love how you and Steph casually mention each other on each of your videos like you’re truly family. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love you both!
These responses from Caroline and Steph are delightful to see. Ladies, I love your content. It is such honest advice. I can see how you would get along so well as to consider each other family. The LA group from the dinner, videos, and IG content seemed to be such a wonderful group of people genuinely enjoying each other’s company and opinions. Each video was wonderful to watch. I’m sure just about every subscriber wanted to be at that dinner joining in the fun.
Lady, I canNOT get enough of you. You have been such an influence on me and my skincare over the past year (and it shows!! I actually got a "You are NOT a mother of a teenager!" comment yesterday, no lie). Thank you!
When I saw how well my head, hair & scalp did on SLS free products, I switched my body & teeth products for SLS free. I still do combat with my skin but not nearly so badly as before. Thx Caroline you're such a joy.
I couldn’t agree more about the DE eye cream. I went to Sephora the day I say your videos with Stephanie Nicole and can’t believe the difference it’s made. And the texture is divine. So thank you for the reco!
I discovered your channel as a subscriber to Stephanie Nicole. So happy I did! You are delightful, amazing, and such a tremendous resource for skin care info. Loved the May Lindstrom interview! Thanks for all you do!💕
Whatever you do, do NOT use the Original Source tea tree and mint shower gel on your nether regions. Unless you are looking for an extremely invigorating experience!
your double cleanse has gotten better! Not sure it was temperature thing or what, but my second container washes away better than the first. Bravo! Love for home and travel
Would love to see a lower budget video on best skincare. I recently became a mother so would love to see were I could save on skincare and were to splurge. I’m 30
HI Caroline, am glad that you mentioned toothpaste, i used the same tooth paste and i noticed that all redness and small spots are gone, i just occasionally get white pimple under my chin if i used a facial oil, especially if i used Vinter daughter oil.
Great video, thank you. We’ve also just replaced our bath with a walk-in shower in the main bathroom, it makes so much more sense now the children are older and none of us enjoy baths. Hope you enjoy your shower!
Thank you so much for the information about the SLS! I've been having issues with itchiness and redness particularly around my nose. I'm now looking into this ingredient to see if it the cause! Currently checking all of my skincare and dental products! Thank you for the tip, and I hope this is the cause, because then Ill have an answer for this irritation that seems to never go away.
OHMYGOD this is it! I always thought I had random eczema around my nose and lips from just god knows what but it must be sls in my products! Thank you so much Caroline I think you just saved my life.
THANK YOU for recommending the toothpaste! I literally just went into the doctor on Thursday and was diagnosed with perriol dermatitis :( she gave me a prescription cream and said my rash could be caused by anything. I’ll be switching my toothpaste out immediately!
I'm going to try that DE eye cream and I already use the sensodyne. I bought it on a whim a couple of months ago, not on sale (on offer), and decide it was the toothpaste for me.
Thanks for the video. The eye cream is lovely but it doesn’t do a quarter of what Kate Somerville’s retinol eye cream (with the gold hoof cap) does for wrinkles and eye bag sagging.
thank you for the video. Love your videos, esp. the Empties. Taking notes. Already bought some. Next on my list is the new DE eye cream. The rapid fire question/answer videos of you and Steph and Jordan Samuel were my favorites from your LA trip.
I used to love Drunk Elephant products until the packaging kept breaking. It’s so cool and innovative, not to mention airtight, but once you’ve had three different products break and become unusable, you move on.....and in my case, I moved on to much more expensive versions. The only thing I still have is the Marula Oil. When I purchased mine it came in a bottle with a dropper. I’m hoping that hasn’t changed. Always love your videos, Caroline! Have a fabulous week.
Oh I love Drunk Elephant. I mostly have used products from my Derm but after seeing Tiffany on your channel I became very intrigued after hearing why she did what she did, I'm hooked and have bought most of her products. Many complements have happened. :). xo
Hi Caroline, I love watching your videos. I'm 26 and I'm starting to notice my skin changing (drier, more texture...). I was wondering if you could do a video (or series of videos) targeted at skincare for different age groups. It's all so confusing to me and I really don't know where to start with which products I should be using and when!
Caroline-I want to thank you and Steph for the C Tango recommendation which was really timely as I was about to go to the US and I added it to my Sephora list which consisted basically of all of your recommendations of US products. I think it is superb . I am still evaluating the C Firma as I can’t yet see an impact on my skin. Suffice it to say that I am now Sephora Rouge...thanks to you ....Sephora should give you commission.
Hi Caroline! I have horrible problems with toothpaste as well. The only toothpaste I can use is Tom’s of Maine. I don’t know if you can buy it in the UK. I don’t have the dermatitis problems on the face but I get horrible ulcers in the mouth. Not fun. Take care, I enjoy your time you spend with us on Facebook.🌻
I bought the Hourglass skin tint foundation based on your collab with Stephanie Nicole. I love it and I'm glad to see it in your empties video. Great video as always!
Hi Caroline, now that summer is kinda approaching could you do a vacation skincare post please? I’m always in two minds about when to cleanse in the evening. Atm I’ve just been avoiding wearing makeup for dinner for the most part because I don’t want to wash my face 3 times a day... (I’m on holiday atm so spend most of the day at the beach, that’s a lot of salt and spf) I feel like I’m making this more complicated than it needs to be.. but my skins breaking out anyway so woohoo
I’ve looked forward to this video Caroline. Just shown me I’m a true devotee of everything you recommend. From the p50v which I bought in Paris which I love. (I just need to get to America to get my hands on the 1970 😭,and I’m waiting for Drunk Elephant to be sold here in the U.K.). Down to buying the Soaper Douper in Tesco, which all my family love.. Next on my list are the shampoos and conditioners. Going Superdrug this week! ..By the way when I had the pleasure of meeting you last week in Liverpool I asked about the dry patches next to my mouth. You said it could be my tooth paste. I stopped using it, and you was spot on. I started on sensodyne and my skin is problem free. When I told my family I was going to one of your events, they said be careful of meeting a hero because they can disappoint. Well I was on cloud 9 after meeting you. 😊
I enjoyed your video with Josh Rosebrook - what a lovely man. I purchased some of his line and am in love. The serum is my favorite product...it smells so beautiful. I am in heaven with his products and will be going back to try one of his masks. Thanks for sharing.
Is there anything better than Drunk Elephant right now? I love everything I've tried with the exception of Umbra sunscreen. I'm sorry - the smell of that literally makes me gag. The C-Tango eye cream is amazing, and the marula oil is truly lovely. I was a die-hard fan of Josie Maran's argan oil for years, but marula is so much lighter and I believe, more nourishing than argan. Thanks for another great video, Caroline! xo
I must pick up some of that body wash when I'm next in Tesco, I love tuberose. Another brand in a similar vein to Soaper Dooper and Hask is Kind Natured - their products smell delicious, too, especially the shower gel with bergamot.
All of the Drunk Elephant products are brilliant for me worth every dime of their cost for such extraordinary formulations that don’t contain a drop of fragrance or even fragrant plant oils. Their Marula oil is superior to the ordinary in every way as I picked up the ordinary one just to compare. I’d take the DE any day even if it were twice the price it is now. The bottle dropper is made to get every drop out. It just feels far superior to competitors I’ve found. But then again all their products are made with true care and concern from a creator who cares what ppl put on their skin and how her products are made in the world. A win all around!
That bobby brown palette would have been amazing for me. Too bad it's expensive and full of faff. How amazing would it be if they Pixi made a mini cleanser "palette" with lids! O.O A mini box of double cleanse, a small space for their glow pads AND one of their facial oils! MAGIC! Travel skincare daydreaming...
I love your channel so freaking much and always come to you to get any information I need about anything I'm wanting to try! You are truly my inspiration to start trying to do what I want to do in life and to work in skin care and learn as much as I can! Your amazing!
This is a fab video, I'm so glad! The event with Selfridges on Friday was amazing, bought myself a salicylic acid and hopefully there wont be a blackhead to pop next time you see me!
I’m a fairly new subscriber (two months or so) but have to say I adore your content! Obviously the substance is incredible and the days of me not double cleansing already seem like a distant (and very dark) past but your style and attitude is so great and so so watchable/readable. Cannot believe I slept on your content for so long, definitely not making that mistake again. Also as a grad student I really appreciate your no nonsense attitudes to budgets when it comes to skincare which is definitely a needed reminder when I am procrastinating by scrolling through cult beauty 🙈😂
Thanks for another great video! Just an FYI- I subscribe to a few youtubers, mainly ASMR people, then you, Stephanie Nicole, and A Model Recommends. Well, when I went to see which channels had new videos, I was unsubscribed from you, Steph, and AMR! I have no idea how that happened but maybe it was youtube?! I watched videos from all three channels last week, so it wasn't that I had subscribed and not watched for a while. The ASMR people were all still there. Just thought you would want to know because I know there have been issues with youtube policy lately.
I got the Drunk Elephant eye cream based on your and Stef's recommendation and it's my favorite eye cream I've ever used. Granted, I've only used 2-3 others but still. It's great!
Thanks for the video- really helpful! Can I ask if they'll be a video on the Selfridges take over? Either by you or by Sali or by Selfridges? I wish I could have attended but it was sadly way out of my budget :'( Also- where are you picking up the rose scented Soaper Duper? I can only see lemon in the Tescos that stock it and I'm talking Tesco Extra London stores here!
The ordinary marula oil seems perfectly fine to me, and it's so much cheaper. I use it to mix in with my foundation in the winter 😊 greets from Germany ❤
I am in the US and talked to my hygienist about the SLS in toothpaste.. she was shocked! WHY DO THEY DO THAT? Anyway I use sensodyne now as it's the only one in the US I could find without it. Toms even has it. Going to switch my teenage son as he has flares of a mouth rash.. never occurred to me that is what it was until just now. Thanks for the info!
I’d suffered for years until this info finally came to light. I can only use Sensodyne exclusively. The skin inside my mouth would actually peel off! Disgusting but true...you can imagine the pain & discomfort...awful!
Hi Caroline, I just bought the Hask Repairing shampoo and conditioner. I works great for my dry color treated hair. It was on "offer" as you would say at Ulta in the US for two for $10.
Caroline...Did you do makeup for any of the attendees at the royal wedding nuptials today??! Happy wedding celebration to you ⚘ Loved watching the coverage from the BBC, here in OHIO, US.
Thank you for another video missus. Now that u only have a shower, please get yourselves a wooden slated floor grate to put on your shower floor so u don't go slip sliding away .....U can then carry on with oils as the excess and the risned product will filter through the slats. That is my suggestion .... xxx
Love Dr. Gross...I've been awake for 2 days due to insomnia. I need an i.v. drip of vit C to my dreadful skin. 😂@ "granny mat" .....tubs can be deadly. I only use Sensodyne...
I can't get I the bath cos RA & I also have a granny mat, but it's a cute one. Intact hips are more important! Ps you could be talking about jiffy envelopes & bleach & I'd still watch till the last second!
Hi Caroline, I’m a longtime user of Dr Dennis extra strength peels several times a week and want to invest in Biologique lotion. Which one do you suggest for someone who’s been on roacutane in the past, but isn’t particularly sensitive and uses the peel pads regularly and how do you recommend adding it to a routine without overdoing the acids? Love your work. Thank you!
Caroline ... appreciate you taking the time to reply to soo many of us on this post... n the comments n questions have also been so good ..n informative. ..
Thanks for the suggestion on the toothpaste!! Definitely going to try that, I use sensodyne as it is & am currently trying to rid my adult acne but my chin does itch so I’m willing to try anything. I’m due to go to a private skin clinic next week because my dermatologist hasn’t been very helpful, I can see by their website they stock Obagi skin care, have you heard/used any of it before? X
I am buying the Josh Rosebrook hydrating accelerator and vital balm today for an upcoming long haul flight to Italy. I’ve seen all your videos talking with him or about him and I’ve wanted to try it for ages. I’m getting the set with the travel size cleanser and serum. I also bought the Zelens concealer after you mentioned it in your video with Stephanie. Love it! Thank you, it’s exactly what I was looking for. I’ve seen two videos so far that have had reactions to the DE c tango eye cream. One got a bumpy rash and the other said is stung the skin around her eyes. Is there anything in the ingredients that some people could have sensitivity towards?
Woah, think you’ve just cured my scabby gob, where 4 doctors an a dermatologist failed! SLS .. 😲😲😲😲. Your my hero, thanks Caroline. I have been taking all kinds of stuff , from bacterial infection rinses, thrush oral tablets, probiotics, anti biotics, steroid creams around my mouth.. ( I know) . Never really been loyal to a toothpaste and grab any, but realised its always worse when i switch brands, which is every time.. you summed up my symptoms in a couple of sentences.. 😲😲 Im going to buy sensodyne sls free tomorrow and pray you’ve solved the mystery iv had for at least 10 years 😍
Caroline, please help if you can, post-op skin going crazy! I had migraine surgery 2 weeks ago (5 incisions in my hairline, 3 were stapled & 2 have stitches still) as well as septoplasty and I also have the same incision as blepharoplasty as they go in through the eyelid and forehead). Those stitches are out now too. They told me no skincare for two weeks ( all the years os getting my skin in balance out the window) and then to start gently for 2 more weeks... no retinol or strong acids. I have loads of products (mostly your recommendations) but don’t know how to properly ease back in. The first time I washed my face after two weeks… Last night… My skin was peeling like crazy from just my votary cloth and a very gentle cleanser! I went on to just use the Belif cream moisturizer. Today my skin is peeling even worse and seems dry, unhappy and totally out of balance. I am 51 and have normal to dry skin that typically never peels and less I’ve used Retin A (which is why I don’t use it). I don’t know whether to use my P 50 or any cereal at all. Essence? Toner? I am totally lost. Please help if you have a moment this bruised face would very much appreciate it.💕
Hi Caroline, your link to the P50....I’m in the UK & I’ve never used it - what’s the difference between the choices on this link? I can’t see the 1970 (the year I was born 😃). Help please!
I was intrigued by your thought process on mixing vitamin C with other acidic products during your sit down with Stephanie. I’m too afraid to use it with an acid, can you please clarify?
"I would rather be alive with a good hip." and this is why I have followed you for years (among other fantastic reasons) ;) Btw I do the same with the granny mat and I am "only" 31, but really, that would just be a grimm way to go
I too have a dodgy back, so baths are a no for me as well. I used that Original Source Mint & Tea Tree once (got given a sample when it first came out) and when it got on my “lady parts” it felt like they were on fire, so be warned! 😳
Hey Caroline, love love love your channel. I’m the skin care lead at my local Sephora,and I was just curious if you’ve ever done a Lancôme brand review? And how you feel about the brand overall. I heard you mention your favorite oil and I wanted to make a couple suggestions that you may have never tried. Youth to the people came out with her new superfood oil and it’s amazing. But my all-time favorite oil is the one from Kora organics!
Hi Caroline i’m interested in the illusion foundation but living out in the sticks on Anglesey in Wales I don’t really have anywhere to go to test the shade, currently using Clinique Even Better in Buff I was wondering if you could give me some advice on a good shade to pick to buy online I’m 60 have some red patches which the Clinique evens out nicely as it is quite yellow toned but I’m also quite fair skinned, sorry for the question it’s just if I buy something online and have to send it back it’s always a faff 😀
Thank you for another awesome, informative video! Just curious what percentage of L-asorbic acid is in the Dr. Dennis Gross C plus Collagen cream. I’ve been using the SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic Serum but find it annoying tacky when I use for my AM routine and I feel like I look greasy. It was super expensive and got it in late March, but I’m not liking how it feels. I’ve been using Dr. Denis Gross retinol eye cream for a few months and see absolutely no change so wanna try C-Tango. Thank you again Caroline!👸🤟💜
Hi Caroline! I recently watched a video by a US dermatologist who addressed the issue of Retin-A and Differin and the like potentially bringing previously invisible sun damage in the deeper layers to the surface. I'd sincerely love to know your thoughts on that. I've noticed an increase in hyperpigmentation myself when using these, but then again I'm 62 so it could just be the natural progression. Tbh, I don't know what to think anymore, and I don't know if acids, vitamin C, niacinamide, retinols/oids are actually doing me personally any good. I've been "working on" my hyperpigmentation consistently for three years to no avail. I know it's quite possible that my skin is in better shape than it would be without these products, but I'm pretty disheartened by what I'm seeing.
Holly D Hi Holly! It’s old pigmentation coming through and at your age it’s honesty to be expected. I’m sure you have a gorgeous skin! Please don’t worry. How’s the texture of the skin? The tone? X
Oh! What a lovely answer!Remember how you felt meeting Oprah? I'm having one of those moments! Thank you so much! In person I would cry, online apparently I exclaim! Tone and texture are excellent, actually - thank you for addressing those. I'm beginning to appreciate my skin as it is - I feel that for decades (!) I've done my best to prevent, eliminate and/or disguise what I perceived as flaws and now I really just want to enjoy and appreciate what I have. I will never be perfect, and "those who care don't matter and those who matter don't care." So Caroline, sincere and heartfelt thanks to you. You have shared so much with us all and today you have impacted my life for the better. I listened and heard, and your words will remain with me. I intend to carry what I've learned from you out into the world. Beyond your skincare advice that I will always appreciate, you have been kind. Many, many thanks and much love and gratitude.
Hi Caroline,Hope you are well. I am in my mid fifties and am a bit of a late starter when it comes to taking skin care seriously. Not so much lazy just didn't have a clue. Fortunately I have never been a sun worshipper and although I am very fair skinned with freckles my skin seems to be relatively ok. I have found you after realising that it was about time to treat my skin better and I have enjoyed your videos very much; thank you, you are my go to person! Is there anything ( ingredients wise) that I should avoid? I have slight redness around my nose area and am prone to dark circles under my eyes which I try to remedy with concealer etc. Could you recommend a suitable regime to keep me on the straight and narrow please. I have recently started using the Body Shop Vitamin e range and their Vitamin C Skin Reviver which I love. Thank you so much in advance for any advice. Hope you are having a lovely week, best wishes, Jackie.
Are the US shades of Hourglass different than the UK? Golden looks to be lighter than beige, but you said you used it with a tan? I tried Space NK and I was ‘matched’ to sand (not really sure it’s a good match) and I think my skin tone is darker than yours! I’m Beige 3 in Bobbi, so was expecting a beige in theirs too, but it was a really odd colour on me. 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for educating people about SLS in toothpaste! All through my childhood and teenage years, I had terrible mouth sores that we thought were canker sores.

That is hysterical!!!! "nether regions" you made my day!
LOL Invigorating!
HOLY HELL. I 100% second this.
It happened to me n it is awful lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I miss your weekly vlogs! Please come back to TH-cam! Also, I really wanted to know what your thoughts were on CACI facials? 😊 x x
I LOVE how you write down if you love the product in the description box 😊
Hey Caroline just wanted to say I commend you for your classiness when certain nutbag owners of companies shade you. So much respect for you.
your double cleanse has gotten better! Not sure it was temperature thing or what, but my second container washes away better than the first. Bravo! Love for home and travel
Would love to see a lower budget video on best skincare. I recently became a mother so would love to see were I could save on skincare and were to splurge. I’m 30

Michelle J I love it thank you! Back atcha!
So glad to get a dose of Caroline this weekend! Thanks!!
OMG SLS toothpaste you are a LIFE SAVER . I have had a rash on the side of my mouth for a month ! I’m going to try that ! Immediately 🤯
Thank you so much for the information about the SLS! I've been having issues with itchiness and redness particularly around my nose. I'm now looking into this ingredient to see if it the cause!

I love Soaper Duper. The passion fruit and coconut shower gels are currently my favourites. It's a shame only Tesco carries the range at the moment.
I'm going to try that DE eye cream and I already use the sensodyne. I bought it on a whim a couple of months ago, not on sale (on offer), and decide it was the toothpaste for me.
I like watching Empties on YT for entertainment, but with Caroline's I watch and take notes.
Same here ♥️
Thank you for another great video Caroline! I love that you use Invisalign. Seems you and Steph have started a trend!
Lotion p50 is amazing, ill never stop using it now. I haven't had a spot in the 2 years I've been using it
Hi Caroline. A video/blog post on your favourites enzyme masks and home peels products would be great! 🙃😍
Thanks for the video. The eye cream is lovely but it doesn’t do a quarter of what Kate Somerville’s retinol eye cream (with the gold hoof cap) does for wrinkles and eye bag sagging.
Your facial massage cheat sheet has changed my evenings! Would you ever make a video demonstrating? The nose part still throws me a bit
These is my favorite type of video that you do-thanks for all you do, Caroline! 😊

wjs57 57 I am the equivalent of a Sephora VIB Rouge Every single time I visit that bloody shop LOL
Caroline Hirons Thank goodness I don’t go to the States as often as you or I’d be bankrupt .
Love your videos!!! I’ve found many products that are now staples thanks to your abundant knowledge!
Hi Caroline! I have horrible problems with toothpaste as well. The only toothpaste I
can use is Tom’s of Maine. I don’t know if you can buy it in the UK. I don’t have the dermatitis problems on the face but I get
horrible ulcers in the mouth. Not fun.

I must pick up some of that body wash when I'm next in Tesco, I love tuberose. Another brand in a similar vein to Soaper Dooper and Hask is Kind Natured - their products smell delicious, too, especially the shower gel with bergamot.
All of the Drunk Elephant products are brilliant for me worth every dime of their cost for such extraordinary formulations that don’t contain a drop of fragrance or even fragrant plant oils. Their Marula oil is superior to the ordinary in every way as I picked up the ordinary one just to compare. I’d take the DE any day even if it were twice the price it is now. The bottle dropper is made to get every drop out. It just feels far superior to competitors I’ve found. But then again all their products are made with true care and concern from a creator who cares what ppl put on their skin and how her products are made in the world. A win all around!
That bobby brown palette would have been amazing for me. Too bad it's expensive and full of faff. How amazing would it be if they Pixi made a mini cleanser "palette" with lids! O.O A mini box of double cleanse, a small space for their glow pads AND one of their facial oils! MAGIC! Travel skincare daydreaming...
I love your channel so freaking much and always come to you to get any information I need about anything I'm wanting to try! You are truly my inspiration to start trying to do what I want to do in life and to work in skin care and learn as much as I can! Your amazing!
This is a fab video, I'm so glad! The event with Selfridges on Friday was amazing, bought myself a salicylic acid and hopefully there wont be a blackhead to pop next time you see me!
I’m a fairly new subscriber (two months or so) but have to say I adore your content! Obviously the substance is incredible and the days of me not double cleansing already seem like a distant (and very dark) past but your style and attitude is so great and so so watchable/readable. Cannot believe I slept on your content for so long, definitely not making that mistake again. Also as a grad student I really appreciate your no nonsense attitudes to budgets when it comes to skincare which is definitely a needed reminder when I am procrastinating by scrolling through cult beauty 🙈😂
I am obsessed with that emerald ring you are wearing! Gorgeous! Where can I get it? Hugs, xx
Thanks for another great video! Just an FYI- I subscribe to a few youtubers, mainly ASMR people, then you, Stephanie Nicole, and A Model Recommends. Well, when I went to see which channels had new videos, I was unsubscribed from you, Steph, and AMR! I have no idea how that happened but maybe it was youtube?! I watched videos from all three channels last week, so it wasn't that I had subscribed and not watched for a while. The ASMR people were all still there. Just thought you would want to know because I know there have been issues with youtube policy lately.
Your sls free tip has stopped my mouth becoming itcy and irritated. Using the same tube of toothpaste. Thanks my skin hero.
Yes!I love empties!cant wait for part 2! What about the stuff you bought in the US?you haven't shown us them!x
These are my favourite videos of yours! You just make me happy because you have such a positive energy!❤️🌹
None of your most recents had popped up until I wondered over to your account and say I’d missed 10 video uploads
I got the Drunk Elephant eye cream based on your and Stef's recommendation and it's my favorite eye cream I've ever used. Granted, I've only used 2-3 others but still. It's great!
Thanks for the video- really helpful! Can I ask if they'll be a video on the Selfridges take over? Either by you or by Sali or by Selfridges? I wish I could have attended but it was sadly way out of my budget :'(
Also- where are you picking up the rose scented Soaper Duper? I can only see lemon in the Tescos that stock it and I'm talking Tesco Extra London stores here!
If you have time sometimes in the future please do a review on Omorovicza products!
I tried a few basics but want to know what else is good :D
The ordinary marula oil seems perfectly fine to me, and it's so much cheaper. I use it to mix in with my foundation in the winter 😊 greets from Germany ❤
That is such a good idea!
I am in the US and talked to my hygienist about the SLS in toothpaste.. she was shocked! WHY DO THEY DO THAT? Anyway I use sensodyne now as it's the only one in the US I could find without it. Toms even has it. Going to switch my teenage son as he has flares of a mouth rash.. never occurred to me that is what it was until just now. Thanks for the info!
Connie life changing x
I’d suffered for years until this info finally came to light. I can only use Sensodyne exclusively. The skin inside my mouth would actually peel off! Disgusting but true...you can imagine the pain & discomfort...awful!
Connie Schmidt’s doesn’t have SLS
Never heard of Schmidt’s. Available in the US?
Connie I live in Virginia. Pretty sure I bought it at Target. They make good natural deodorant too also available at Target
Oh thank you Hirons!! This is the perfect U S Mother’s Day gift as I lay here recovering from some serious surgery.💕💕💕
Stephanie Snider get well soon ☺️
Dear Caroline, just wondering if you have tried and/or recommend anything from the line “Verso”?
Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks so much !!
Hi Caroline, I just bought the Hask Repairing shampoo and conditioner. I works great for my dry color treated hair. It was on "offer" as you would say at Ulta in the US for two for $10.
Caroline...Did you do makeup for any of the attendees at the royal wedding nuptials today??! Happy wedding celebration to you ⚘ Loved watching the coverage from the BBC, here in OHIO, US.
I got a sample of the C-Tango, and I’m obsessed 😭
You look gorgeous, Caroline! Great to see you! ❤️
Thank you for another video missus.
Now that u only have a shower, please get yourselves a wooden slated floor grate to put on your shower floor so u don't go slip sliding away .....U can then carry on with oils as the excess and the risned product will filter through the slats.
That is my suggestion .... xxx
Oh Davines.... such an amazing line !!! A bit pricey, but soooooo good
Love Dr. Gross...I've been awake for 2 days due to insomnia. I need an i.v. drip of vit C to my dreadful skin.
😂@ "granny mat" .....tubs can be deadly. I only use Sensodyne...
I can't get I the bath cos RA & I also have a granny mat, but it's a cute one. Intact hips are more important! Ps you could be talking about jiffy envelopes & bleach & I'd still watch till the last second!
Hi Caroline, I’m a longtime user of Dr Dennis extra strength peels several times a week and want to invest in Biologique lotion. Which one do you suggest for someone who’s been on roacutane in the past, but isn’t particularly sensitive and uses the peel pads regularly and how do you recommend adding it to a routine without overdoing the acids? Love your work. Thank you!
Caroline ... appreciate you taking the time to reply to soo many of us on this post... n the comments n questions have also been so good ..n informative. ..
Could we maybe have an updated skin care on a budget video :-)
great video Caroline, love seeing your blogs!
Brilliant information. Succinct and to the point NO BS! Love it! X Thank you Caroline xxxC
Thanks for the suggestion on the toothpaste!! Definitely going to try that, I use sensodyne as it is & am currently trying to rid my adult acne but my chin does itch so I’m willing to try anything. I’m due to go to a private skin clinic next week because my dermatologist hasn’t been very helpful, I can see by their website they stock Obagi skin care, have you heard/used any of it before? X
Love this video 👍👍 always good to see both save and splurge products in the mix!
I am buying the Josh Rosebrook hydrating accelerator and vital balm today for an upcoming long haul flight to Italy. I’ve seen all your videos talking with him or about him and I’ve wanted to try it for ages. I’m getting the set with the travel size cleanser and serum. I also bought the Zelens concealer after you mentioned it in your video with Stephanie. Love it! Thank you, it’s exactly what I was looking for. I’ve seen two videos so far that have had reactions to the DE c tango eye cream. One got a bumpy rash and the other said is stung the skin around her eyes. Is there anything in the ingredients that some people could have sensitivity towards?
Woah, think you’ve just cured my scabby gob, where 4 doctors an a dermatologist failed! SLS .. 😲😲😲😲. Your my hero, thanks Caroline. I have been taking all kinds of stuff , from bacterial infection rinses, thrush oral tablets, probiotics, anti biotics, steroid creams around my mouth.. ( I know) . Never really been loyal to a toothpaste and grab any, but realised its always worse when i switch brands, which is every time.. you summed up my symptoms in a couple of sentences.. 😲😲 Im going to buy sensodyne sls free tomorrow and pray you’ve solved the mystery iv had for at least 10 years 😍
Hi Caroline. Always love your videos and learn so much! Thank you for sharing all your expertise. Hugs from Dublin, xoxo Daphne 💖
Caroline, please help if you can, post-op skin going crazy! I had migraine surgery 2 weeks ago (5 incisions in my hairline, 3 were stapled & 2 have stitches still) as well as septoplasty and I also have the same incision as blepharoplasty as they go in through the eyelid and forehead). Those stitches are out now too. They told me no skincare for two weeks ( all the years os getting my skin in balance out the window) and then to start gently for 2 more weeks... no retinol or strong acids. I have loads of products (mostly your recommendations) but don’t know how to properly ease back in. The first time I washed my face after two weeks… Last night… My skin was peeling like crazy from just my votary cloth and a very gentle cleanser! I went on to just use the Belif cream moisturizer. Today my skin is peeling even worse and seems dry, unhappy and totally out of balance. I am 51 and have normal to dry skin that typically never peels and less I’ve used Retin A (which is why I don’t use it). I don’t know whether to use my P 50 or any cereal at all. Essence? Toner? I am totally lost. Please help if you have a moment this bruised face would very much appreciate it.💕
Thank you so much! Used my Revive this morning. Absolutely love it💗 Also my bathroom still smells wonderful at night! Xx
Hi Caroline, your link to the P50....I’m in the UK & I’ve never used it - what’s the difference between the choices on this link? I can’t see the 1970 (the year I was born 😃). Help please!
I was intrigued by your thought process on mixing vitamin C with other acidic products during your sit down with Stephanie. I’m too afraid to use it with an acid, can you please clarify?
"I would rather be alive with a good hip." and this is why I have followed you for years (among other fantastic reasons) ;) Btw I do the same with the granny mat and I am "only" 31, but really, that would just be a grimm way to go
I too have a dodgy back, so baths are a no for me as well. I used that Original Source Mint & Tea Tree once (got given a sample when it first came out) and when it got on my “lady parts” it felt like they were on fire, so be warned! 😳
Love starting the week with an ch empties video, finished before showering mo day am here!!!
So agree ♥️
Great video as usual Caroline -looking forward to part 2.
Hey Caroline, love love love your channel. I’m the skin care lead at my local Sephora,and I was just curious if you’ve ever done a Lancôme brand review? And how you feel about the brand overall. I heard you mention your favorite oil and I wanted to make a couple suggestions that you may have never tried. Youth to the people came out with her new superfood oil and it’s amazing. But my all-time favorite oil is the one from Kora organics!
I love your empties videos so much. Please continue to make them.
Hi Caroline i’m interested in the illusion foundation but living out in the sticks on Anglesey in Wales I don’t really have anywhere to go to test the shade, currently using Clinique Even Better in Buff I was wondering if you could give me some advice on a good shade to pick to buy online I’m 60 have some red patches which the Clinique evens out nicely as it is quite yellow toned but I’m also quite fair skinned, sorry for the question it’s just if I buy something online and have to send it back it’s always a faff 😀
LOVE the REN body wash, once got the 500ml pump one half off cause it was being discontinued
Pleeeeeease tell me where your emerald ring is from!! 😭
Thank you for another awesome, informative video! Just curious what percentage of L-asorbic acid is in the Dr. Dennis Gross C plus Collagen cream. I’ve been using the SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic Serum but find it annoying tacky when I use for my AM routine and I feel like I look greasy. It was super expensive and got it in late March, but I’m not liking how it feels. I’ve been using Dr. Denis Gross retinol eye cream for a few months and see absolutely no change so wanna try C-Tango. Thank you again Caroline!👸🤟💜
I don't think they give percentages...and if they do, they're often inaccurate to due several factors..
What are the effects of eye creams that you recommend as I have never noticed any real difference of ones I have used? Thanks ☺️
Hi Caroline! I recently watched a video by a US dermatologist who addressed the issue of Retin-A and Differin and the like potentially bringing previously invisible sun damage in the deeper layers to the surface. I'd sincerely love to know your thoughts on that.
I've noticed an increase in hyperpigmentation myself when using these, but then again I'm 62 so it could just be the natural progression. Tbh, I don't know what to think anymore, and I don't know if acids, vitamin C, niacinamide, retinols/oids are actually doing me personally any good. I've been "working on" my hyperpigmentation consistently for three years to no avail. I know it's quite possible that my skin is in better shape than it would be without these products, but I'm pretty disheartened by what I'm seeing.
Holly D Hi Holly! It’s old pigmentation coming through and at your age it’s honesty to be expected. I’m sure you have a gorgeous skin! Please don’t worry. How’s the texture of the skin? The tone? X
Oh! What a lovely answer!Remember how you felt meeting Oprah? I'm having one of those moments! Thank you so much!
In person I would cry, online apparently I exclaim!
Tone and texture are excellent, actually - thank you for addressing those. I'm beginning to appreciate my skin as it is - I feel that for decades (!) I've done my best to prevent, eliminate and/or disguise what I perceived as flaws and now I really just want to enjoy and appreciate what I have. I will never be perfect, and "those who care don't matter and those who matter don't care."
So Caroline, sincere and heartfelt thanks to you. You have shared so much with us all and today you have impacted my life for the better. I listened and heard, and your words will remain with me. I intend to carry what I've learned from you out into the world.
Beyond your skincare advice that I will always appreciate, you have been kind. Many, many thanks and much love and gratitude.
Caroline, your lashes look incredible! What mascara are you wearing in this video? And thank you for the tips as a woman of a certain age. :)
Hi Caroline,Hope you are well. I am in my mid fifties and am a bit of a late starter when it comes to taking skin care seriously. Not so much lazy just didn't have a clue. Fortunately I have never been a sun worshipper and although I am very fair skinned with freckles my skin seems to be relatively ok. I have found you after realising that it was about time to treat my skin better and I have enjoyed your videos very much; thank you, you are my go to person! Is there anything ( ingredients wise) that I should avoid? I have slight redness around my nose area and am prone to dark circles under my eyes which I try to remedy with concealer etc. Could you recommend a suitable regime to keep me on the straight and narrow please. I have recently started using the Body Shop Vitamin e range and their Vitamin C Skin Reviver which I love. Thank you so much in advance for any advice. Hope you are having a lovely week, best wishes, Jackie.
Are the US shades of Hourglass different than the UK? Golden looks to be lighter than beige, but you said you used it with a tan?
I tried Space NK and I was ‘matched’ to sand (not really sure it’s a good match) and I think my skin tone is darker than yours! I’m Beige 3 in Bobbi, so was expecting a beige in theirs too, but it was a really odd colour on me. 🤷🏻♀️
