I tried the glow screen and had your exact reaction. Handed it off to my 16 year old fair skin blonde daughter who has no skin texture yet and she loves it and it just glows on her. I think that’s the best audience for the stuff and I’ll keep buying it for her to make sure she’s using sunscreen 😂.
I got the GR Primer and couldn't notice a difference at first but over the day my skin was so incredibly soft and smooth, it was insane. Even 10 hours later! And I don't have a really oily skin but I do have a slightly oily t-zone with deep texture issues, not with the primer I did not! It just took some time working its magic but I look forward to wearing it more often and keeping up with its effect on my skin. Some of my favourite products are from GR but every one of their products has been either a 100% hit or miss for me, I'm excited this looks like a new fave
Omg thank u because im about to start work at a steel plant and it gets hot in their. Im not oily but in the summer i get maybe a little- depending on life lol. 😂. But ill need something for work!!!! So i hope it works. I love GR!!!!
I really enjoyed this review - It felt very casual and like a chit-chat while trying these out. Also you just staring at 18:00 then saying "What am I looking at?" gave me a giggle lol
I love that at the end he said "this is just supposed to be some light entertainment, you know, in the background while you tidy up or something", and that is literally exactly what I was doing. I felt very seen!
I need that Skin Rocks moisturizer! Also, I had the same initial disappointment with the SkinFix cleanser because I love an oil cleanser, but I continued to use it and fell in love. It’s especially great as a morning cleanse for those that feel dry!
Thank you for reviewing the Super Goop sunscreen! I accidentally bought the tinted version but figured I’d try it anyways. I thought maybe it just looked weird on me, because I’m so pale, I’m practically translucent, and whatever tint it was was just too dark, and brought out that more textured look.
Your first reaction to the supergoop is my reaction to 90% of my skincare… “what am I looking at? Did anything change? Is this how my face always looks?”
Thank you for putting the picture in to show what the sunscreen actually looked like. Your reaction alone was enough to convince me but that you go the extra distance to demonstrate what it really looked like makes you (and your Twin) so credible and honest as voices in the beauty sphere!
SAME! I do it with Robert and their twin channel too 😂 sometimes it’s the screensaver of my mind when I’m hyperfocused on something. I’ve always said progress over perfection and now my brain adds 👏🏻 “perfection doesn’t exist” 👏🏻

I always know I can count on you for honest reviews James and can't thank you enough for that because it's getting harder to find people like that lately ❤
I watch all of your videos while I cook. I can’t tell you the relief I feel when you upload cuz I’m like oh thank god I have company to cook to 😂😂😂love you James! And thank you for being my cooking buddy!
I’d love to see you review Avène products, I feel they are SO underrated. The Cicalfate line is so incredible for post skin resurfacing and for very harsh winters! It saved my skin barrier while doing nanofractional skin resurfacing with RF.
I would love to see that! I have eczema and with Bioderma and La Roche-Posay, they are the only brands my skin accept and I never see anyone talking about Avène.
I really like glow recipe as a brand so whenever they come out with something I get excited. The BHA primer sounds pretty good, although to be honest I think their normal BHA serum and them a proper makeup primer would be more effective, as the BhA primer doesn’t seem to do much in terms of blurring or making makeup last longer.
I realized the same thing about Squalene! I have yet to find someone else besides you who said the same thing. Squalene just makes a wonderful moisturizer!
Glow screen is great to add into other sunscreens to cancel out some chalkiness for less fair skin tones. I also like to add it on top of other sunscreens just to the high points as an extra layer of sun protection and highlight. All over application is not great unless you’re young/flawless or under makeup as suggested.
I love Skinfix sensitive skin line since there’s not much out there. Cicaplast B5 balm saved my skin. I love both since they are mainly for people with ezcema so we need the oils and save me during my dermatitis flair ups and allergic reactions.
The Beekman 1802 Milk Shake Hyaluronic Acid & Squalane Facial Toner Mist is also UH-MAZING for depleted, dehydrated, and/or damaged skin. When it’s at that point when even water feels uncomfortable on your face. A bit heavy for the day if you have normal-oily skin but I used it every morning/evening and it literally saved my skin in the winter when I was traveling. It also has one of the best mist defusers I’ve seen. It’s $34 at ULTA & worth every penny and more imo.
I’ve been using the glow recipe blur drops 🍓 for like 1 -1.5 weeks now & like it. Tbh you don’t get that immediate pore “blurring” that you see with like benefit porefessional or something like that but I think it helps control oil under my makeup or just on its own through out the day. I’ve used it both just as a serum and as the last step and it’s so light I honestly can’t tell a difference. I think you have to look at it as SKINCARE that won’t interfere with makeup not necessarily visibly add to overall makeup performance. Some serums and primers pill on the skin but this is literally like nothing is there while still being able to layer the beneficial actives during the day. I think it has helped with a subtle exfoliation of my pores while I used it but would need to use it a bit longer to really tell.
I know you don’t really do makeup a lot but please try the revolution blush balms. You’d love the glow they give. It’s also just a soft wash of color. So nothing over the top.
I bought the glowscreen last year, wore it once. I didn't have the issue with texture you did but it made me look greasy like I hadn't washed my face in days. Also I have the skinfix cleanser but had been leery of using it since I don't normally use oils so now that I know it's a foam it's next up. Thanks!
This was great! Perfect video to watch while tidying up on a Monday morning. And I feel the same way about the Supergoop Glow Screen. I’ve tried to love it but I always look like the Tin Man from Wizard of Oz after putting it on!
Oh really?? I got it in a giveaway and could not finish it and I have oily skin so was very excited to use it!! But I felt like it was too silicone-y and that because of the suffocating feel I would not use enough sunscreen to get the SPF protection that it had 😅 I have told everyone with similar skin who would listen to never touch it hahaha
La roche ciceplast b5 balm did rescue my skin. My skin was so irritaties and nothing helped but ciceplast worked so good. I have the ciceplast spf50 too. I'm using these 2 products for a month now and my skin improved so much. It doesn't look fancy at all but I'm really loving the tube right now. An empty tube is more satisfying than an empty bottle 😂😂
I'm absolutely loving the Skin Rocks range so far. I use Retinoid 2 and it doesn't give me any issues with my rosacea (I've only got it mild, though). I can also use the fragranced moisturiser with no issue.
My last comment I swear lol - Love the glow recipe. Was hesitant to try but caved. I use in tzone area and if I’m wearing makeup that day, it applies nicely over and I don’t have to powder anywhere. It’s like shine is reduced where I want and glowy where I want.
James, I've always wondered (as someone who also has rosacea) - how do you test so many skincare products and keep your skin from reacting/flushing? Do you have any tips on trying new products? PS: Your videos are always so calming!
I bought the Glow Recipe Blurring Primer the day it launched and the first day I tried it, it made me sooooo oily. I’m not oily but I have large pores and I love everything from Glow Recipe. I used it for four days with different foundations and it didn’t blue and definitely did not mattify. I was oilier than I’ve ever been about two hours after applying it. I truly hope it works for others but I had to return it sadly, it was the only GR product I’ve ever returned.
Supergoop glowscreen works really well as a primer under makeup for me though. I like the texture a lot, lightweight and non-greasy. It does not lead to break-outs like some other very silicony glowy base. Your daze after applying the product cracked me up 😂 I was just thinking what am I looking at when you said the same thing yourself 🤣 it is honestly hard to review/reveal the effect of almost transparent sunscreen.
I've found sunscreen tends to work so well as a primer, especially as a super oily person. Once I actually finish my tube of CANMAKE Mermaid Skin I can't wait to try out Supergoop
I use the unseen sunscreen and I love it. I’m on my second bottle and I will keep buying. I am very picky about how sunscreens make my face feel after. It doesn’t leave my face oily or sticky. I used it under makeup for the first time recently and it was amazing!
I live in London and omg is the water hard, only ever notice how bad it is when I go down to Cornwall and everything foams up so nicely and my hairs so soft😅
I'm actually using that Skinfix cleanser currently, and I'm loving it! I have super dry skin and it really hydrates. Personally, this seems more like a creamy oily cleanser that lathers, but doesn't really foam.
I want that primer so much now. My old favorite (now reformulated and not quite as nice) eye cream, the L'Oreal Age Perfect rosy tone blurring eye cream (now the eye brightener) took about two weeks before I really saw any "blurring" when wearing it. It also had salycylic acid in it and over time I saw improvements in my skin while NOT wearing it, but wearing it was like one of those products that tightens up the skin? It didn't do that, but it looked like I had a filter on in real life LOL I can't imagine you'd see any MORE benefit from the BHA just because it's in a primer, but what I hate about a lot of BHA products is I just don't like to wear them. All of the products I like with BHA it's a rather low percentage and there's other reasons to use them.
Your reviews and advice are so so helpful! I love these videos. I am obsessed with SuperGoop lol. Their sunscreens are so so nice to use under make up, but I will be careful not to show off my pores w/o makeup hahahaha
I use that Skinfix cleanser. It’s my go to. Extremely gentle which is great for my rosacea and sensitive skin. I don’t shy away from fragrance in facial skincare but sometimes it can irritate my face. This is fragrance free. I love it and highly recommend. Whenever I try and buy at Sephora it’s always out of stock.
James, I have a question and it’s probably a stupid one. But I have dry skin and exfoliating with products just isn’t enough sometimes. I live on the East Coast in the states so our weather is extremely unpredictable and my skin suffers because of it. What is the best exfoliating cloth, sponge, etc. that I can gently use on my face to get the dead skin off? My skin only gets extremely dry every now and then, but I want the option to gently rub the dry skin away. I’ve tried to do it with the “ blade thingy” and I just didn’t like the feeling or even the idea of it. Your advice would be extremely helpful. Considering almost every single product you have recommended has worked for my skin, you are my go to person when it comes to skincare, and I say that confidently. I literally listen to you more than my own dermatologist because what you’ve recommended for me has helped my skin more than anything they have recommended. I’ve also learned so much from you and I am so grateful to you and Robert for keeping me informed! I really hope you see this because I desperately need your help! Love Jackie 💟
I honestly think the tatcha spray is outrageously overpriced and overrated so idk I think you can find something cheaper elsewhere because I didn’t like it at all. So much for so little. Also, it upset my rosacea a little.
"Pixi by Petra Glow Mist", you can try this, it's known for being the dupe for tatcha spray. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet but if it works I will definitely switch to it. I actually use the tatcha spray between the setting powder and the setting spray, it helped my makeup doesn't look too powdery and dry after all the oil control powder and setting powder I had put on my face haha.
I agree, very overrated, my go to for years has been, Peach and Lily's. I also tried Selena's sample size and was actually impressed. I might be getting it in the future.
A thing that's sort of similar and that I quite liked is the La Neige cream skin refiner mist, a hydrating serum that you can spray on, it's not as expensive as the Tatcha. However, it's not meant as a setting spray.
I’m 42 and I have dry, sensitive skin. I always wash with gentle products like Cera Ve, Burts Bees, or Kate Sommerville morn Indians evening, as well as hydrate 2x a day and as an example of the best moisturizer is the old school blue Ponds moisturizer and the gray anti-wrinkle Ponds. Anyway, I use other products as well, but Ponds provides the best moisturizer for my face. Anyway, I’m moving from Las Vegas where it’s dry and the coldest it gets is 5• Fahrenheit . So I’m moving to Wyoming where it gets below -20•Fahrenheit 😮 and it’s a dry cold. My question is, are there any other reasonably priced moisturizers anyone can recommend, (Tatcha is a bit too pricy though I love the way it feels) obviously I love the very thick moisturizers, I know for some ppl it feels greasy, but my skin loves it. I also drink half a gallon of water per day, sometimes more if my workout is long. So, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I love this channel so much,both Robert and James are amazing but my all time favorite is their Welch Twins Channel🤩 check it out if you haven’t yet. ❤
I live in an area of Idaho where it also gets super cold and dry (below -10 F this winter, and I know we had a couple of days below -20 F as well, but don't remember what the lowest we hit was), and I have found CeraVe's Moisturizing Cream to do the trick for me. I apply it at night after some exfoliation, and a little thicker in the winter than in the spring/summer. Be aware: mileage may vary as I am only 26.
@@mariahmoon8775 thank you and their prices are definitely budget friendly! I also just found L’Oreal Collagen Moisture Filler. It’s 1.7oz but it lasts a long time, you only need about a pea size amount. I use it twice a day as my last step after cleansing. I got it this time instead of Ponds to try something different.
I mix the glow screen supergoop with my foundation. I still wear another spf I just like how it sheer out my foundation, adds a pearly glow making it more natural, and adds a bit of apf
James, I'm really sorry you're struggling with your skin in this video, but honestly it's kinda nice to see? Sometimes I really envy your skin and today your skin looked/felt more relatable 😅
I LOOOOOVE THE GLOW RECIPE BLUE DROPS !!!! Ive been using them all week! ( doesnt at all smell like strawbery lol) its soooo UNIQUEEE!! It truley BLURS! N makes makeup look so much smoother!! I use it as my treatment underneath moisturizer m sunscreen! N MY MAKEUP LAST SM BETTER! I tested it with foundations that are eh n it makes them smoother! N its suuuuper hrydrating!!! Also its super brightening duee to the rice! Like a like tone up effect , im so happy i love them! I have acne VERY reactive skin!😊
I love the La Roche Posay Hyalu B5 Eye Seurm, it's very sticky once it's dried on but that goes away immediately when you apply an eye moisturiser over the top of it?
I love the Supergoop daily dose ceramide oil sunscreen. It’s amazing and doesn’t break me out. My severely dehydrated (no matter what I do/use) loves it, and my makeup looks so much better since I found it. Thanks to Theresa is Dead for that recommendation.
A retinal product that does not irritate my rosacea is the Geek & Gorgeous A-GAME. They do a 5 & 10%. Also the BOJ retinal eye cream is great for the whole face.
After applying Super goop glow screen: long pause, "what am I looking at"? 😅😅😅😅 I'm dying. Also I'm one of the few who also absolutely despised that sunscreen after really wanting to love it.
Please don't take away that beautiful glow with that primer! So many of your suggestions have changed my skin for the better! When I wear makeup now it doesn't make my pores look enormous as well as that cake face! I know Robert prefers a more matte look but if u could suggest to him to do a review of the only foundation and concealer that I will ever use the Yensa super serum foundation and concealer I would love to see his thoughts. It's an amazing product particularly for dry/mature skin which is me. Thankyou🙏🙏🙏💜🖤💜🖤
What's that pink bottle in the back left? Not the glow recipe toner, the other one. I feel like I've seen it before but I can't remember what it is. It looks really pretty
I'm very interested in the Caroline Hirons Skin Rocks Retinol because I have sensitive skin but I really can't afford a $80 serum on a regular basis. My skin really likes Selfless by Hyram Retinol and now I'm really enjoying Naturium Retinaldeyhde and both are more affordable for me.
Right that supergoop looks like you’ve applied a really cheap liquid highlighter oh no when you showed it on to phone I was like nooooooo 😅 apparently I’ve heard the elf whoa glow is less glowy and just gives a nice sheen and is 1/4 price definitely give that one a go hun, love this thanks ❤
I love that Supergoop. I also have oily skin. I only use jojoba oil as a moisturizer with this on top, sometimes just the Supergoop. Could have not been working well with the other products on your face.
bluring primers usually use silicones to create an occulsive layer on the skin, so how would the bha get through that and do anything for your pores???? lol - re glow recipe primer
"Usually" is a key word here. You can check the ingredient list of the primer and they clearly state they don't use silicones. 💀 so yeah, bha work in this product
Hii James! Still loving my cosrx but I desperately need a great hydration of sorts to add to it. I’m in South Africa so tons isn’t available and some of the cosrx is parallel imports so I’m always scared to try a random of theirs
Have you ever tried the laneige sunscreen? I have used it a couple of times, and I think I like it, but it can be a little too glowy. I just blot the bit of shine away after it settles for a few minutes! Wondering what your thoughts are 😊
OMG glad i am not the only one struggling the packaging of the 15ml serums from larocheposay !! The niacinamide one does the same thing and now that i’m finally at the bottom of it, i can’t even get out the last drops of serum bc the freaking tube isn’t long enough omg it drives me insanee! For 30euros.. i’m so mad.
James, do you find any items that pill or powder-up on your beard? My husband has a beard or “scruff” so I’d like to find him basic skincare items that won’t flake up on his beard. If you have any suggestions… Thanks!
GOD FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE WHO HATED THAT SUPERGOOP SUNSCREEN. Everyone was all raving about it which was why I bought it, and it felt like it ACCENTUATED all my dryness and every pore. Jealous of the people it works for lol
I also thought the SkinFix cleanser was going to be a sort of hybrid oil cleanser. So that’s a little disappointing. I also just bought a mini SuperGoop but haven’t tried it yet. We’ll see.
You neeeed to get your hands on the pillowtalk derm, major fade system. Mask/serum/moisturizer. I know they’re only US right now I think : / but get that magic shipping situation going : ) worth it. Also supergoop 👎 this one breaks me out and the others have insane silicone, causes too much chaos for me
I have the la roche posay tinted spf and the texture is horrendous , so hard to blend out I’d love to see if you’re able to make it work bc aaaaa wasted my money
Please be careful with that glow recipe drops, because on my sensitive skin it did help blur a little, but I could only use for three days without a reaction and the 4th day my skin ended up with what looked like a chemical burn, and a week later my skin is still not the same, so I loved it for the short time I could use it but then that happened.

Your daze after applying the product cracked me up 😂 I was just thinking what am I looking at when you said the same thing yourself 🤣 it is honestly hard to review/reveal the effect of almost transparent sunscreen.
I've found sunscreen tends to work so well as a primer, especially as a super oily person. Once I actually finish my tube of CANMAKE Mermaid Skin I can't wait to try out Supergoop
I use the unseen sunscreen and I love it. I’m on my second bottle and I will keep buying. I am very picky about how sunscreens make my face feel after. It doesn’t leave my face oily or sticky. I used it under makeup for the first time recently and it was amazing!
We do have Tatcha UK now and they are slowly increasing the products available to us on their website 😊
I live in London and omg is the water hard, only ever notice how bad it is when I go down to Cornwall and everything foams up so nicely and my hairs so soft😅
I'm actually using that Skinfix cleanser currently, and I'm loving it! I have super dry skin and it really hydrates. Personally, this seems more like a creamy oily cleanser that lathers, but doesn't really foam.
I want that primer so much now. My old favorite (now reformulated and not quite as nice) eye cream, the L'Oreal Age Perfect rosy tone blurring eye cream (now the eye brightener) took about two weeks before I really saw any "blurring" when wearing it. It also had salycylic acid in it and over time I saw improvements in my skin while NOT wearing it, but wearing it was like one of those products that tightens up the skin? It didn't do that, but it looked like I had a filter on in real life LOL
I can't imagine you'd see any MORE benefit from the BHA just because it's in a primer, but what I hate about a lot of BHA products is I just don't like to wear them. All of the products I like with BHA it's a rather low percentage and there's other reasons to use them.
Your reviews and advice are so so helpful! I love these videos. I am obsessed with SuperGoop lol. Their sunscreens are so so nice to use under make up, but I will be careful not to show off my pores w/o makeup hahahaha
Does it burn your eyes? I've been considering getting it
I use that Skinfix cleanser. It’s my go to. Extremely gentle which is great for my rosacea and sensitive skin. I don’t shy away from fragrance in facial skincare but sometimes it can irritate my face. This is fragrance free. I love it and highly recommend. Whenever I try and buy at Sephora it’s always out of stock.
I love how you said at the end that this was just light entertainment while we clean and that’s literally what I’ve been doing 😂
James, I have a question and it’s probably a stupid one. But I have dry skin and exfoliating with products just isn’t enough sometimes.
I live on the East Coast in the states so our weather is extremely unpredictable and my skin suffers because of it.
What is the best exfoliating cloth, sponge, etc. that I can gently use on my face to get the dead skin off? My skin only gets extremely dry every now and then, but I want the option to gently rub the dry skin away.
I’ve tried to do it with the “ blade thingy” and I just didn’t like the feeling or even the idea of it. Your advice would be extremely helpful. Considering almost every single product you have recommended has worked for my skin, you are my go to person when it comes to skincare, and I say that confidently.
I literally listen to you more than my own dermatologist because what you’ve recommended for me has helped my skin more than anything they have recommended. I’ve also learned so much from you and I am so grateful to you and Robert for keeping me informed!
I really hope you see this because I desperately need your help! Love Jackie 💟
I honestly think the tatcha spray is outrageously overpriced and overrated so idk I think you can find something cheaper elsewhere because I didn’t like it at all. So much for so little. Also, it upset my rosacea a little.
"Pixi by Petra Glow Mist", you can try this, it's known for being the dupe for tatcha spray. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet but if it works I will definitely switch to it. I actually use the tatcha spray between the setting powder and the setting spray, it helped my makeup doesn't look too powdery and dry after all the oil control powder and setting powder I had put on my face haha.
I agree, very overrated, my go to for years has been, Peach and Lily's. I also tried Selena's sample size and was actually impressed. I might be getting it in the future.
Oh yeah I wouldn’t like…rush out and buy it 😅
@@JamesWelsh even for a travel size it's still expensive 😅
A thing that's sort of similar and that I quite liked is the La Neige cream skin refiner mist, a hydrating serum that you can spray on, it's not as expensive as the Tatcha. However, it's not meant as a setting spray.
I’m 42 and I have dry, sensitive skin. I always wash with gentle products like Cera Ve, Burts Bees, or Kate Sommerville morn Indians evening, as well as hydrate 2x a day and as an example of the best moisturizer is the old school blue Ponds moisturizer and the gray anti-wrinkle Ponds. Anyway, I use other products as well, but Ponds provides the best moisturizer for my face. Anyway, I’m moving from Las Vegas where it’s dry and the coldest it gets is 5• Fahrenheit . So I’m moving to Wyoming where it gets below -20•Fahrenheit 😮 and it’s a dry cold. My question is, are there any other reasonably priced moisturizers anyone can recommend, (Tatcha is a bit too pricy though I love the way it feels) obviously I love the very thick moisturizers, I know for some ppl it feels greasy, but my skin loves it. I also drink half a gallon of water per day, sometimes more if my workout is long. So, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I love this channel so much,both Robert and James are amazing but my all time favorite is their Welch Twins Channel🤩 check it out if you haven’t yet. ❤
I live in an area of Idaho where it also gets super cold and dry (below -10 F this winter, and I know we had a couple of days below -20 F as well, but don't remember what the lowest we hit was), and I have found CeraVe's Moisturizing Cream to do the trick for me. I apply it at night after some exfoliation, and a little thicker in the winter than in the spring/summer. Be aware: mileage may vary as I am only 26.
@@mariahmoon8775 thank you and their prices are definitely budget friendly! I also just found L’Oreal Collagen Moisture Filler. It’s 1.7oz but it lasts a long time, you only need about a pea size amount. I use it twice a day as my last step after cleansing. I got it this time instead of Ponds to try something different.
I mix the glow screen supergoop with my foundation. I still wear another spf I just like how it sheer out my foundation, adds a pearly glow making it more natural, and adds a bit of apf
Babes. Thrilled you are loving, but do try not to be SO SURPRISED that you like it. 🤣♥️🥰😘
LOL! I love it! Never surprised, just relieved 😂😭💜
😂
James, I'm really sorry you're struggling with your skin in this video, but honestly it's kinda nice to see? Sometimes I really envy your skin and today your skin looked/felt more relatable 😅
I LOOOOOVE THE GLOW RECIPE BLUE DROPS !!!! Ive been using them all week! ( doesnt at all smell like strawbery lol) its soooo UNIQUEEE!! It truley BLURS! N makes makeup look so much smoother!! I use it as my treatment underneath moisturizer m sunscreen! N MY MAKEUP LAST SM BETTER! I tested it with foundations that are eh n it makes them smoother! N its suuuuper hrydrating!!! Also its super brightening duee to the rice! Like a like tone up effect , im so happy i love them! I have acne VERY reactive skin!😊
I love the La Roche Posay Hyalu B5 Eye Seurm, it's very sticky once it's dried on but that goes away immediately when you apply an eye moisturiser over the top of it?
The glow recipe serum works so well under makeup for me. It's getting hot here and it controls oil so much more than other primers.
Love you just pausing and staring at your face, complete silence, trying to see a difference "what am I looking at" 😂
I love the Supergoop daily dose ceramide oil sunscreen. It’s amazing and doesn’t break me out. My severely dehydrated (no matter what I do/use) loves it, and my makeup looks so much better since I found it. Thanks to Theresa is Dead for that recommendation.
Do you buy it from Amazon or the actual website? I wanted to buy it from Amazon but all the reviews say the bottle comes half full?
You are just TOO MUCH!! Love your reviews and instant reactions to products!
A retinal product that does not irritate my rosacea is the Geek & Gorgeous A-GAME. They do a 5 & 10%. Also the BOJ retinal eye cream is great for the whole face.
Can we use the BOJ retinal twice a day or just once? I have it, love it but have not used on my whole face yet.
I just love you. Plain and simple ❤
After applying Super goop glow screen: long pause, "what am I looking at"?
😅😅😅😅 I'm dying. Also I'm one of the few who also absolutely despised that sunscreen after really wanting to love it.
I love the glow screen, however, I mix it with the unseen to make it pretty on my skin
Please don't take away that beautiful glow with that primer! So many of your suggestions have changed my skin for the better! When I wear makeup now it doesn't make my pores look enormous as well as that cake face! I know Robert prefers a more matte look but if u could suggest to him to do a review of the only foundation and concealer that I will ever use the Yensa super serum foundation and concealer I would love to see his thoughts. It's an amazing product particularly for dry/mature skin which is me. Thankyou🙏🙏🙏💜🖤💜🖤
What's that pink bottle in the back left? Not the glow recipe toner, the other one. I feel like I've seen it before but I can't remember what it is. It looks really pretty
13:51 I finish my skincare, top it with SPF then let it sit for a while, and only after that I apply primer to help my makeup grip to my face
I unpacked groceries to the vid today. I’d like to try that moisturizer!
I love your channel, but would love to see you review more Dr Jart, Eucerin and Avene products!
Hahahha James you made me laugh so much with the Cicaplast comments! Thanks for that xxx
I'm very interested in the Caroline Hirons Skin Rocks Retinol because I have sensitive skin but I really can't afford a $80 serum on a regular basis. My skin really likes Selfless by Hyram Retinol and now I'm really enjoying Naturium Retinaldeyhde and both are more affordable for me.
I have the Tatcha skin mist, though honestly prefer the Glow Recipe mist - wasn't keen on the fragrance either.
❤
Hi james ❤ watching from the Philippines. I wonder if you could review organic skin japan? Great video❤
Right that supergoop looks like you’ve applied a really cheap liquid highlighter oh no when you showed it on to phone I was like nooooooo 😅 apparently I’ve heard the elf whoa glow is less glowy and just gives a nice sheen and is 1/4 price definitely give that one a go hun, love this thanks ❤
I love that Supergoop. I also have oily skin. I only use jojoba oil as a moisturizer with this on top, sometimes just the Supergoop. Could have not been working well with the other products on your face.
James, when you out two photos of yourself in the thumbnail, I always think it's Welsh Twins! 😄😄
bluring primers usually use silicones to create an occulsive layer on the skin, so how would the bha get through that and do anything for your pores???? lol - re glow recipe primer
I don’t think the Glow Recipe primer contains silicones
"Usually" is a key word here. You can check the ingredient list of the primer and they clearly state they don't use silicones. 💀 so yeah, bha work in this product
I just got my CH moisturizer today! I’m so excited to use it.
Hii James! Still loving my cosrx but I desperately need a great hydration of sorts to add to it. I’m in South Africa so tons isn’t available and some of the cosrx is parallel imports so I’m always scared to try a random of theirs
Have you ever tried the laneige sunscreen? I have used it a couple of times, and I think I like it, but it can be a little too glowy. I just blot the bit of shine away after it settles for a few minutes! Wondering what your thoughts are 😊
OMG glad i am not the only one struggling the packaging of the 15ml serums from larocheposay !!
The niacinamide one does the same thing and now that i’m finally at the bottom of it, i can’t even get out the last drops of serum bc the freaking tube isn’t long enough omg it drives me insanee! For 30euros.. i’m so mad.
In my country it’s €40! I even bought it twice and I am hating every time I use it. Can’t wait to finish it and never but a serum from them !
“That felt like a weird sentence” sent me into giggles and then it kept getting worse 🤭
Since your Welsh Twins video where you say 'Supple' over and over again, I can never hear it the same way haha
Saaaame!!!!
Finally, some one who is honest about the glow screen. I was appalled when I tried it lol
Your skin does look alive from within
James, do you find any items that pill or powder-up on your beard? My husband has a beard or “scruff” so I’d like to find him basic skincare items that won’t flake up on his beard. If you have any suggestions… Thanks!
Koreans have cicaplast toner. There is also gel version of the cream :)
Would you be opposed to doing a review or your thoughts on Tula? I’ve been using them for over a year now and my skin is doing so well!
hey guys does anyone know where i can find the little rectangles james uses to push his hair back bc i dont know what to search for rip
The skin rocks really seemed to calm the redness it looked like your skin just drank it - my skin is also in a bit of a irritated phase so buying!
I's be really curious to know how that lrp cicaplast serum compares to bioderma defensive serum and the uriage cica serum 👀
GOD FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE WHO HATED THAT SUPERGOOP SUNSCREEN. Everyone was all raving about it which was why I bought it, and it felt like it ACCENTUATED all my dryness and every pore. Jealous of the people it works for lol
Happy birthday! 🎊🥳🎉
What do you do when your spf pills up on your face? I have 1 SPF so I can’t just wash off and use another one. Any tips to make it work?
I also thought the SkinFix cleanser was going to be a sort of hybrid oil cleanser. So that’s a little disappointing. I also just bought a mini SuperGoop but haven’t tried it yet. We’ll see.
You neeeed to get your hands on the pillowtalk derm, major fade system. Mask/serum/moisturizer. I know they’re only US right now I think : / but get that magic shipping situation going : ) worth it. Also supergoop 👎 this one breaks me out and the others have insane silicone, causes too much chaos for me
I have the la roche posay tinted spf and the texture is horrendous , so hard to blend out I’d love to see if you’re able to make it work bc aaaaa wasted my money
Please be careful with that glow recipe drops, because on my sensitive skin it did help blur a little, but I could only use for three days without a reaction and the 4th day my skin ended up with what looked like a chemical burn, and a week later my skin is still not the same, so I loved it for the short time I could use it but then that happened.
The bottle for the cicaplast reminds me off the bottle from the Aveeno oat serum. Hate the packaging, love the product.
Can you do a video or recommend someone that addresses dry skin? Thank you!
I'm seeing a lot of people using the d'Alba spray but from a skincare perspective not sure if it's that effective?
Oh no! Now I really want the Skin Rocks Moisturiser 😅
