Caroline, my face is still as smooth as my babies bottoms, eczema still at bay and my skin is glowing. I don't even wear any base other than concealer under my eyes these days. Needless to say, I've just put 3 bottles of Vitamin D in my shopping basket- thinking what else I should get! Tell me what I need! Miss your beautiful facials. Lara And thank you again for the code!! Xxx And just thank you again for my skin- words cannot express x
OMG I discovered Zelens recently and it is the best cosmetic brand on the market! Pro and Prebiotic Mist, Vic C and Vit D treatment, acid pads, antioxidant serum! Really appreciate that it is run by a doctor, human being that shows his face and stands by his products, and that he cares about clinical testing (not on animals tho!). LOVE! And thank you Caroline for helping to discver such treasures
Bingo - thank you Caroline. I can understand sophisticated skin care by listening to you. I am on an exciting journey, experimenting and enjoying taking more care of my skin simply because you are inspiring. Stephanie MUA from Spain 💋🙏
Am loving all these brand review videos and also want to say thanks for being awesome. I talked about you during a job interview last week and so I can honestly say watching your videos and reading your blog helped me get a new job! (Am trying to pretend this now justifies me buying loads of new products before Christmas).
Caroline! thank you so much for this offer you have collaborated with Dr Zelens - i have been humming and rrr'ing to try the brand out, and now got three products for a net price of what i should have paid double. I know you shouldn't shop for yourself coming closer to Christmas, but i couldn't resist this offer. Really hoping the Power D serum will do something to my confused, 30 year old acne prone skin. Thank You! x
Thank you Caroline. I discovered the brand some years ago thanks to your blog and Z-Matrix is my moisturizer since then. I had bought so many brands before, some of the pots and tubes are still in my bathroom as they did nothing for my skin but Z-Matrix works for me like nothing before. So, thanks a lot
Recently bought some Zelens products in Oklahoma City. Wanted to buy more, but expensive so thought I’d wait awhile. With your 30% discount I was able to finish my purchases. Also have the primer. Thank you. Great deal with the discount. I appreciate your approach to skin care and beauty. You’re down to earth with an excellent sense of humor.
My complaint re: pipettes and jars has nothing to do with the stability of ingredients/preservation... I am just such a klutz! Bottles with pipettes are the thing that I worry about spilling, dropping, etc. the most. I continue to use all my little pipettes, but I live in fear :) My issue with pots is that I use way more product than I need! I just seem a little unable to control myself with a big pot of moisturizer or eye cream, and pumps help me actually use the appropriate amount of product so my $$$$ goes further!
SRoberts815 you can always try putting some product into a roller ball - I used to do that when I was using the vitamin C from Timeless. Just refill when needed.
Sophie the same thing happened to me recently with a bit cheaper product cause of pipette that I got a week prior! It simply flew over my bathroom wall, floor,....And it was oil!!! I called the company desperate and angry to order another one....and was literally frozen when the lady who answered said: no worries, we will send you another one for free!?! My mistake and they are giving me for free??? It happened to be Paula's Choice. They have a great return policy and customer service, but this was over and beyond! It was CAD$ 50 and I love that product. I doubt you would get free Luna or many other products for that matter, it is our fault:( I know how you feel:(
You will love hada labo then . They have a cleanser with similar mechanism, but their star product is hylauranic acid in toner form. Amazing.... please try the premium version ( comes in a yellow box ) and available in Amazon.
Caroline, I'm 46 and have pigmentation and trying to move forward with it. I'm going to look into the range. By the by, you are looking thin and well. Happy holidays from Oklahoma, US
Hi Caroline, this deal is great! Thank you! I have to say though that the website is a real pain! I’m buying the daily defense sunscreen and the Vitamin A oil and the total is 119 pounds (134€). When I select to deliver in Italy it gets 176€!! And I don’t get the pha pads in the cart! That’s way too much and a very unfair increase
I will listen later twice to learn more every details of the products carefully! Nice to receive your alert on my I phone 📲 💐💝 Have a lovely day dear Caroline

Love, love, love these brand overview videos!! Thank you so much for all the work you put into them! Definitely getting the Power D! Would be amazing if you could also review EmerginC, Exuviance and Blithe. They are the brands I keep going back too. I have this theory that Zelens and EmerginC are very similar but I think that is more due to the similar packaging (face creams) than anything else. Love their 20% vitamin c serum, their multivitamin serum, triple threat peel w retinol and their triple threat cream. Would love to hear your opinions on them and whether there are alternatives/similar products you'd rather use. Thanks again for keeping us educated!
Caroline !!! Watched many of your videos as a marathon .. I'm a mum of two under 5 😣 needless to say how my sleep is right now and since five years since first getting pregnant never cared about skincare ... never believed in products and always looked for natural organic and used only spf on face .. now I have given myself a shock I see ageing signs 😓😓... learnt a lot and started with a lot of your type of routines and products and happy with it too... major problem now is dry lips.. any videos or posts I missed ? Let me know .. keep uploading 👍🏼👍🏼😘 and not to forget you are hilarious 😎😎
So excited by this thank you Caroline and Zelens. Would be great to see Dr Lens on your channel i love the Zelens eye cream and very keen to use more of the range. Quick question though - Zelens oil vs Vintners Daughter sadly I can only adopt one this christmas??
Hi Caroline I am a woman of a certain age, who is a mother of two, and pale Florida girl. I currently have the sins of the late 70’s though the late 80’s, no SPF, stomping across my face and lips. Your hyper-pigmentation video has helped me get a handle on most of what is on my face. I’m really not sure what to do about the hyper pigmentation on the lips though. Do you have any suggestions? I so look forward to your videos. I love your passion and your humor. You always manage to make me laugh, even when I’ve had a crap day. Thanks
Hi Caroline, because of you I am a huge Zelens fan and also because of you, realised I had melasma (hormone treatments for long term migraines). I have accumulated over the past year Zelens Brightening Serum, Zelens 3t, Zelens Power D drops and Zelens 30 SPF amongst. I love them all. To resurface and try to treat my melasma I invested in DCL C Scape night booster, Dennis Gross alpha beta peel pads, Dennis Gross C+ collagen vitamin c serum, Dennis Gross retinol, Good Genes, Luna and KS deep tissue repair. While I am treating my melasma can I use any other treatment oil/serum in conjunction with the DCL and C+ serum? I hate to leave all of these other wonderful products by the wayside. I am guessing DCL and C+ need to go straight on to the skin with nothing underneath. But do I add anything other than moisturiser on top? I have asked this Q on Instagram/Twitter to Zelens/Dennis Gross but not getting any luck. Not sure how to layer with treatment products like DCL and C+. Thank you, always x
Caroline, how long should you wait after applying each product in your routine to put the next one on? I always wondered if you can just carry on straight away or if you should wait a few seconds or minutes. Thanks. Zelens with 30% off, merry Christmas to me!! Thank you!x
OMG you're an angel! :) Thanks so much for this!! I'm planning to buy the Z Luminous - Brightening Serum to deal with pigmentation around my lips. It says to use daily morning and night. However I'm unsure how to use it in conjuncture to my existing serums - I use a Vit C in the morning and Retinol at night. Is it safe to layer them on to these? How do I include it in my routine along with them?
You could use a dark/navy or white sheet of paper behind see-through and white packaging when showing them to help the camera focus :) Love the video !
Caroline can you do a skin care storage video? I am reading/watching different opinions on how to store skin care and want to get the" once and for all" from you!! xo
TL;DR- I would love it if you could give some less expensive alternatives to Power D! I understand it likely won't be as good but anything's better than nothing. I got the power D in your most recent Cult Beauty box and it is restoring my skin barrier like I haven't seen since I was a teenager. I have sensitive, dehydrated, and acne-prone skin and the strength of acids/ retinol needed to keep the acne under control leads me to be perpetually red across my nose and cheeks. Incorporating power D into my routine twice-daily has almost completely removed my redness (!!!). I love this product dearly and will miss it so much when I run out. The markup on Zelens on the US website in addition to my current budget means I probably won't ever be able to repurchase this miracle worker. Please let me know if there are similar products I can look for at a lower pricepoint!
Thank you! 2 more Triple Action eye creams on their way. I also use it last thing before lights out just on my lips and the skin around it for fine lines. Works a treat!
Caroline. Thanks for yet another great video. I bloody love Zelens and I cannot tell you how much of a difference the D serum made to my skin. I have sensitive reactive skin and it totally took away the redness and strengthened the barrier. I will never be without it. Thanks also to Dr Lens for the great discount. Much appreciated
Hi Caroline! I'm 49, no Botox/fillers. My under-eye area soaks up just about everything. I just started using a skin caviar eye Essence (serum) from La Prairie but need and I cream as well. Do you have any recommendations or do you think the Zelens would be a good option for me?
Caroline please could you help with my perioral dermatitis. I'm a 30year old student nurse and it's killing my confidence on the ward when I don't have make up on.
Hi Caroline. I know you said that it shouldn't be used near the eyes, but could you use the cleanser to double cleanse? Would I need to remove makeup first?
Hi Caroline, I want the vitamin C but I was under the impression that it's supposed to be packaged in dark glass. Or is it different because it's in an oil base? Thanks so much for these lovely videos.
Caroline how can other serums be used in conjunction with Power C & A? Since the power drops are oil based, Can I layer a water based serum over top? Should I add a wait time between them?
Caroline! I am so glad you mentioned the dermatitis you were dealing with - i'm STILL waiting to get in to see the Dermatologist (4 month waiting period. ugh)! And like you said, nothing seems to get rid of it. I've already used your code to purchase and try the Lip Treatment oil - My dermatitis has cleared up a bit with something the doctor prescribed - but i am excited to try this now! What was the type/name of the dermatitis you described? It sounded like it started with a "P" - Thanks!!
Hello Caroline! Love to watch Your videos! Love Your energy, sense of humor and Your knowledge! Unfortunately all brands You are reviewing are not available in Poland... even that does not stop me from watching Your films😂😂😂😂kisses and Hugs from Poland!!!
Hi Caroline, how does the Z22 oil compare with Vintner's Daughter oil? I currently use Vintners Daughter (learned it from your blog, thanks!) and love it, but am intrigued by Z-22.
Hi Caroline! Question: In regards to the probiotic/probiotic mist (and generally just probiotic in skincare) if a preservative is used in order to stop yeast/mold/microbial growth, how are the probiotics remaining effective in the Zelyns Mist? Thank you do much!!!! Xoxo ❤❤
As usual- great review. I'm under the impression from watching hundreds of skin care videos and reading blogs, that moisturizer goes on last to seal everything in. So how does it work it's way through serums and oils so you can get all the good stuff from the moisturizer into your skin??
I've been gasping to try the Vitamin A drops for eons! Thank you, Marco and Caroline, for that divine code. The drops are mine. I repeat the drops are mine and my Jupiter sized pores can jolly well p*ss off!
Hi Caroline! Thank you for another wonderful and informative video! I am considering getting the PHA pads, but I see in the ingredients list that it contains alcohol denat and fragrance. Should I be concerned about this or should I go for it? I need a gentler exfoliator. I tried the Ordinary's Glycolic Solution and it's WAY too strong and stingy on my face.
I can't seem to get the free PHA+ peel pads promotion to work (even though I have £180 worth of product in my basket like it says to do in the description) help, I'm stressed.
Love listening to your enthusiasm when talking about skincare and your adlibs. I’m about to start chemo soon and whilst I love my skincare I know there are certain things I should stop using, such as retinols and acids. Could you recommend alternatives 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Shuk Yin Sorry to hear you are starting chemo. When I had it, I found my skin got very sensitive & very dehydrated and dry. Since everyone is different (some people have no real skin reaction during chemo) is to see how you react and add products as needed. I hope all goes well with your treatment.
Fab video, you always make them informative and hilarious love watching. Caroline I have a broken red capillary on my face cheek. I have had it over a year ,😭 Can you please recommend something to get rid of it? It's a horrible red circle. Many thanks
Hi Caroline, I got the Zelens Vitamin D drops in your CultBeauty Box and just love them so I decided to try the Vitamin A drops. To my surprise, the Zelens website does not offer the option to buy in pounds if you ship to Spain or any other EU country and automatically increases the price from 115 pounds which is aprox. 130 euros to 160 euros plus 15 euros for shipping. I find it a bit discriminating and just wanted to let you know, not that you have anything to do with it, I love your channel and read your blog everytime I am tempted to try something new....
Wow, thank you for the discount code. I’ve used the Power D from the CH Cult Beauty Box - love it! I’ve also used the renewal mask - love it! It must have been difficult not to include it. I am super keen to try more and will now thanks to the code...even though it’s a huge amount of money right before Christmas 😬
Hi Caroline. Few Questions: Do all these products have an expiration of 6 months? I have all of the oil based (Holy Trinity) products and they tend to expire within 6 months only! What do you think of the alcohol Denat in Peel pads? Do they not age/dry out the skins? Can the Z Luminous serum be layered over a Vitamin C serum? Thank you!
Thank you for this brand overview! I have been waiting patiently for it. How do you decide between Zelens D and Vitners Daughter when you are doing facials? I’d love to know your thoughts.
Caroline what's your opinion on citrus extracts & essential oils in skincare? I just saw the ingredients list of Z-22, so it made me curious. Also what about the sophisticated silicone part? Can you please link something that explains in detail? Same for skin biome. Really appreciate your videos, how you keep budget & unavailability in mind; I learn from you. Xoxo.
Caroline, love you so much and watch you all the time- better than my own mother! please could you do a video for people in their mid to late 20s please, I'm not sure if I should stick to the ordinary or try more sophisticated formulated brands i.e zelens . Please please please please x
Is Zelens available anywhere in the US? You have the most beautiful hands.... Could you do a video on how to remove age spots, how to moisturize, etc. for hands? ❤️
I am 62, I cleanse daily at bedtime with castor oil and olive oil mixed together and steam, and my skin is the best it's ever been. Do you know what your 2 experts say about cleansing with oils?
Woooop!! Woooop!! And here it is, Merry Christmas to me!! 🎉🎄🎁 A gift from me to me💃🏽Streamlining my skincare products to include quality, targeted products because quite frankly now I've hit forty I need to be more selective. I've read so many reviews on practically all the products from Zelens and they were all so complimentary, it's helped me to make my decision to purchase after seeing so many customer endorsements. Caroline thank you so much for this offer, you are the plug!!🔌✨
Love Zelens currently using vit d and the 3T moisturiser which has improved my dehydrated crepey skin on my cheeks I was looking to purchase the vit a from zelens or the votary intense night oil - what’s the difference between the 2? Thank you x
Would love to know your opinion on Echinacea. Sounds silly, but I took them for about a week when I had a cold & my skin became the most glorious it ever has. So odd. I’ve since re-tested twice. Each time.. perfect, radiant, clear skin?
Thank you Caroline. I absolutely love all of your videos and refer to them so much when it comes to my own skincare routine. Thank god you TH-cam channel!!! Can I ask if you have ever tried any products from Image Skincare and if you like anything from them? I’m from Ireland and people here are obsessed with it. It’s quite an expensive brand so I want to do my research before launching into buying any products however, I can find very little info/TH-cam videos on peoples experiences xx
Caroline, great video! If I have stubborn hormonal acne around the jaw line, which product from Zelens would be best? I am on Retin A micro gel and am over 30.
I love Zelens (and you too Caroline, the US pricing is nothing you control) but I could actually fly to London to buy the Zelens products I want for the same amount of the markup we see here in the States. That would be fun though...
Where is the best place to use the vit D in your routine? am or pm? Currently am- cleanse, vit c, moisturise, SPF and pm cleanse, retinol , moisturiser as needed. Please advise X
This brand gets me so excited, and then I remember the prices. I simply cannot justify that kind of spending spree for one item, let alone three (A/C/D)....bleh. Anyway, pardon the rant - thanks again for another excellent video, Caroline. It's such a great series, and so far it's really well balanced between pricey and more affordable brands! ❤
Hello Caroline. I have little white lumps under my skin around my mouth and chin area. If aggravated they can turn into an acne cyst. Sometimes they turn into a black head that stays for weeks, sometime they come to the surface a little swollen and I can squeeze it out and it’s completely gone, but they only occasionally come up. They stay there for weeks. Are these milia? I was unsure as they are not around the eyes. I have been using clay masks everyday. I have been taking fish oil for my acne for about two weeks, my acne has cleared up for now. And I have dry and dehydrated skin. Are you able to help?
Can you recommend a toothpaste without SLS? I have the same problem at the corners of my mouth, so when you talked about yours, it was like a light bulb moment, thank you. Honestly, following your advice has completely changed my skin and apart from a recent issue (see below), I look better and healthier than ever. Also, because I'm stressed (horrific house buying process now in it's 8th month) I've broken out in eczema all around my eyes. Would the eye cream be ok?
Hello, im not Ms. Hirons, but I also have the same problem like you. I've been using Sensodyne Daily Care Gentle Whitening toothpaste for over a month now, so far its good. Ingredients are Aqua, Hydrated Silica, Sorbitol, Glycerin, Pentasodium Triphosphate, Potassium Nitrate, PEG-6, Aroma, Titanium Dixoide, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Fluoride, Sodium Saccharin. Contains Sodium Fluoride 0.306% w/w (1400 ppm Fluoride). I don't know if all the sensodyne toothpastes are SLS free. xx
Ciara, I’m a Sensodyne user but tried a Colgate sensitive one which gave me the same, adverse affect. Took me a couple of weeks to think it was the toothpaste but I swapped back to Sensodyne and much better within a couple of days.
Love the video! Love the way you explain things about skincare. I have been following you for years. So, so disappointed this doesn't apply to a Louisiana girl. You have followers all over the world. I was so excited, but when trying to ship I forgot that for whatever reason Zelens doesn't ship to U.S. Love the videos! This IS a great skincare line.
Hey Caroline. After watching this I was going to take the plunge and try some products but damn I missed the offer! Any chance it will return soon? Thanks :)
This is glorious, as always. Quick (non Zelens related question) but what non sls toothpaste do you use? Also suffer from POD.... also randomly, I find that nail varnish flares mine :)
can I mix Zelen's with Oskia serum? also Sunday Riley's good genes, can I still use it? but which one goes first? I'm interested in Zelen Vitamin A - does it go first, or after other products? so confusing which ones goes first. and are you sure they won't conflict with each other? thanks!
So I've added 11 items to my wish list and am going through getting as much as I can without breaking the bank. (thankfully there's a bonus in my future this year from work). I have a question though and would like to know what you think of it. What would be wrong with using Vitamin capsules (a, e, c, d, etc.) directly to the skin? I've thought of this before, but never tried and wondered if that was a bad idea. Love having you on my list to watch! You're great!
Caroline Hirons feck, so I need to add the Vit A + D drops to something else? Was just using them on their own! I’ve combination/oily skin so felt it wasn’t too heavy + just presumed I was doing it right! 😭🙈
Hi Caroline, Fantastic overview. I am really interested in the Z Matrix. I read your blog post about ingredients to avoid. Phenoxyethanol is listed as the seventh ingredient, should that be a concern? Does it also mean that the ingredients after Phenoxyethanol are all 1% or below? Thank you, new to skincare and still trying to understand ingredients:)
OOOhhhhh, I've been waiting for this one! I buy every year when you do his review with that amazing discount code! Do you have a date to sign-up for your Box this year, Caroline? I know we saw a teaser, but I hadn't seen anything about the email sign up! XO Aloha!
❤️ Absolutely loved this overview! I find it to be such an amazing brand. My skin never reacts in a bad way to any of his products! I could choose any of them as well but due to my very dry skin I prefer some of his products like the Z matrix, Peel pads, Intense Defense serum and his treatment oils! Must look into the stemcomplex😋
Caroline, my face is still as smooth as my babies bottoms, eczema still at bay and my skin is glowing. I don't even wear any base other than concealer under my eyes these days. Needless to say, I've just put 3 bottles of Vitamin D in my shopping basket- thinking what else I should get! Tell me what I need!
Miss your beautiful facials. Lara
And thank you again for the code!! Xxx
And just thank you again for my skin- words cannot express x
+Lara S THERE YOU ARE! Whoohooo! So pleased xxxx

Sunfish OutOfWater thanks so much :)
This is my absolute favorite video of the series, the science and ingredients get me so excited!
OMG, the dermatitis... Around the mouth... I HAVE THAT! For ages. Nothing seems help.... Will soooooo try Zellen!!! Lov you Caroline❤️
Thanks Caroline, Dr Lens has some great products. I remember 3 years ago when you did your 2 SPF videos with Dr Lens, been hooked ever since x
I love you Caroline! I’m sick at home this week and I’ve been overjoyed to watch your videos. Xxx
Caroline! thank you so much for this offer you have collaborated with Dr Zelens - i have been humming and rrr'ing to try the brand out, and now got three products for a net price of what i should have paid double.

Who needs Santa when Caroline gives you discounts on quality skin care.

I dropped a brand new bottle of Luna very recently while I was lifting the pipette out. I am still trying to get over it!
Sophie the same thing happened to me recently with a bit cheaper product cause of pipette that I got a week prior! It simply flew over my bathroom wall, floor,....And it was oil!!!

This is me
I was completely mesmerised by that stunning emerald (?) ring. Beautiful x
I bought the Vitamin D Treatment Drops earlier this year and they are amazing!
You will love hada labo then . They have a cleanser with similar mechanism, but their star product is hylauranic acid in toner form. Amazing.... please try the premium version ( comes in a yellow box ) and available in Amazon.
Caroline, I'm 46 and have pigmentation and trying to move forward with it. I'm going to look into the range. By the by, you are looking thin and well. Happy holidays from Oklahoma, US
Hi Caroline, this deal is great! Thank you! I have to say though that the website is a real pain! I’m buying the daily defense sunscreen and the Vitamin A oil and the total is 119 pounds (134€). When I select to deliver in Italy it gets 176€!! And I don’t get the pha pads in the cart! That’s way too much and a very unfair increase
Caroline,
Question. Z22 or Vintner’s daughter?
I will listen later twice to learn more every details of the products carefully!
Nice to receive your alert on my I phone 📲 💐💝
Have a lovely day dear Caroline
Great video Caroline.. as a side note... Monochromatic makeup in pinks soooo suits you. Beautiful eyes xx
I'm LIVING for these frequent videos, especially the long ones!!
Man, what did we do before Caroline Hirons videos? Oh yeah, fuck things up majorly!! 😂😂😘
Liza Owla pretty much 🙃
Well I can't speak 4 u but I walked about with a face like Rhino hide 😂😂😂

Caroline, how long should you wait after applying each product in your routine to put the next one on? I always wondered if you can just carry on straight away or if you should wait a few seconds or minutes. Thanks. Zelens with 30% off, merry Christmas to me!! Thank you!x
I'm a fan of z-luminous, power D and the SPF, thanks to Caroline!!!
OMG you're an angel! :) Thanks so much for this!!
I'm planning to buy the Z Luminous - Brightening Serum to deal with pigmentation around my lips. It says to use daily morning and night. However I'm unsure how to use it in conjuncture to my existing serums - I use a Vit C in the morning and Retinol at night. Is it safe to layer them on to these? How do I include it in my routine along with them?
I have exactly the same question!
Me too
I kinda trust Caroline actually!
You could use a dark/navy or white sheet of paper behind see-through and white packaging when showing them to help the camera focus :) Love the video !
Caroline can you do a skin care storage video? I am reading/watching different opinions on how to store skin care and want to get the" once and for all" from you!! xo
TL;DR- I would love it if you could give some less expensive alternatives to Power D! I understand it likely won't be as good but anything's better than nothing.
I got the power D in your most recent Cult Beauty box and it is restoring my skin barrier like I haven't seen since I was a teenager. I have sensitive, dehydrated, and acne-prone skin and the strength of acids/ retinol needed to keep the acne under control leads me to be perpetually red across my nose and cheeks. Incorporating power D into my routine twice-daily has almost completely removed my redness (!!!). I love this product dearly and will miss it so much when I run out. The markup on Zelens on the US website in addition to my current budget means I probably won't ever be able to repurchase this miracle worker. Please let me know if there are similar products I can look for at a lower pricepoint!
Z22 saved my face when I was on Roaccutane, the only thing to help with the dryness
Thank you! 2 more Triple Action eye creams on their way. I also use it last thing before lights out just on my lips and the skin around it for fine lines. Works a treat!
Caroline. Thanks for yet another great video. I bloody love Zelens and I cannot tell you how much of a difference the D serum made to my skin. I have sensitive reactive skin and it totally took away the redness and strengthened the barrier. I will never be without it. Thanks also to Dr Lens for the great discount. Much appreciated
Hi Caroline! I'm 49, no Botox/fillers. My under-eye area soaks up just about everything. I just started using a skin caviar eye Essence (serum) from La Prairie but need and I cream as well. Do you have any recommendations or do you think the Zelens would be a good option for me?
Caroline please could you help with my perioral dermatitis. I'm a 30year old student nurse and it's killing my confidence on the ward when I don't have make up on.
Hi Caroline. I know you said that it shouldn't be used near the eyes, but could you use the cleanser to double cleanse? Would I need to remove makeup first?
I was planning on buying a lot of these products until I saw the prices. Are there any dupes for the vitamin D drops, and the probiotic mist?
Hi Caroline, I want the vitamin C but I was under the impression that it's supposed to be packaged in dark glass. Or is it different because it's in an oil base? Thanks so much for these lovely videos.
Caroline how can other serums be used in conjunction with Power C & A? Since the power drops are oil based, Can I layer a water based serum over top? Should I add a wait time between them?
Caroline! I am so glad you mentioned the dermatitis you were dealing with - i'm STILL waiting to get in to see the Dermatologist (4 month waiting period. ugh)! And like you said, nothing seems to get rid of it. I've already used your code to purchase and try the Lip Treatment oil - My dermatitis has cleared up a bit with something the doctor prescribed - but i am excited to try this now! What was the type/name of the dermatitis you described? It sounded like it started with a "P" - Thanks!!
Hello Caroline! Love to watch Your videos! Love Your energy, sense of humor and Your knowledge! Unfortunately all brands You are reviewing are not available in Poland... even that does not stop me from watching Your films😂😂😂😂kisses and Hugs from Poland!!!
Hi Caroline, how does the Z22 oil compare with Vintner's Daughter oil? I currently use Vintners Daughter (learned it from your blog, thanks!) and love it, but am intrigued by Z-22.
Hi Caroline! Question: In regards to the probiotic/probiotic mist (and generally just probiotic in skincare) if a preservative is used in order to stop yeast/mold/microbial growth, how are the probiotics remaining effective in the Zelyns Mist?
Thank you do much!!!!
Xoxo ❤❤
As usual- great review. I'm under the impression from watching hundreds of skin care videos and reading blogs, that moisturizer goes on last to seal everything in. So how does it work it's way through serums and oils so you can get all the good stuff from the moisturizer into your skin??
I've been gasping to try the Vitamin A drops for eons! Thank you, Marco and Caroline, for that divine code. The drops are mine. I repeat the drops are mine and my Jupiter sized pores can jolly well p*ss off!
Your makeup looks beautiful! What eyeshadow are you wearing? Love you so much Caroline!!!
Hi Caroline! Thank you for another wonderful and informative video! I am considering getting the PHA pads, but I see in the ingredients list that it contains alcohol denat and fragrance. Should I be concerned about this or should I go for it? I need a gentler exfoliator. I tried the Ordinary's Glycolic Solution and it's WAY too strong and stingy on my face.
Could you please do one about Ling skincare? Love you videos
I can't seem to get the free PHA+ peel pads promotion to work (even though I have £180 worth of product in my basket like it says to do in the description) help, I'm stressed.
Love listening to your enthusiasm when talking about skincare and your adlibs. I’m about to start chemo soon and whilst I love my skincare I know there are certain things I should stop using, such as retinols and acids. Could you recommend alternatives 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Shuk Yin Sorry to hear you are starting chemo. When I had it, I found my skin got very sensitive & very dehydrated and dry. Since everyone is different (some people have no real skin reaction during chemo) is to see how you react and add products as needed.
I hope all goes well with your treatment.
25min of Hirons morning fix on my train to work? YES PLEASE!
Fab video, you always make them informative and hilarious love watching. Caroline I have a broken red capillary on my face cheek. I have had it over a year ,😭 Can you please recommend something to get rid of it? It's a horrible red circle. Many thanks
Hi Caroline,
I got the Zelens Vitamin D drops in your CultBeauty Box and just love them so I decided to try the Vitamin A drops. To my surprise, the Zelens website does not offer the option to buy in pounds if you ship to Spain or any other EU country and automatically increases the price from 115 pounds which is aprox. 130 euros to 160 euros plus 15 euros for shipping. I find it a bit discriminating and just wanted to let you know, not that you have anything to do with it, I love your channel and read your blog everytime I am tempted to try something new....
“If you’re 20 you’re skin is Amazing....” mhmmmmmmm whereeeeeeeee 😩😩😩😍😊😭
Wow, thank you for the discount code. I’ve used the Power D from the CH Cult Beauty Box - love it! I’ve also used the renewal mask - love it! It must have been difficult not to include it. I am super keen to try more and will now thanks to the code...even though it’s a huge amount of money right before Christmas 😬
Hi Caroline. Few Questions: Do all these products have an expiration of 6 months? I have all of the oil based (Holy Trinity) products and they tend to expire within 6 months only!
What do you think of the alcohol Denat in Peel pads? Do they not age/dry out the skins?
Can the Z Luminous serum be layered over a Vitamin C serum?
Thank you!
Thank you for this brand overview! I have been waiting patiently for it. How do you decide between Zelens D and Vitners Daughter when you are doing facials? I’d love to know your thoughts.
Karen Guy wld love to know too!
Caroline what's your opinion on citrus extracts & essential oils in skincare? I just saw the ingredients list of Z-22, so it made me curious. Also what about the sophisticated silicone part? Can you please link something that explains in detail? Same for skin biome.
Really appreciate your videos, how you keep budget & unavailability in mind; I learn from you. Xoxo.
Caroline, love you so much and watch you all the time- better than my own mother! please could you do a video for people in their mid to late 20s please, I'm not sure if I should stick to the ordinary or try more sophisticated formulated brands i.e zelens . Please please please please x
If you could only purchase one or two products, which would you choose?
Can you come to glasgow I need to see you for advice on what moisturiser to use on my skin. You’re info is always fab 😊
Hi, I live in ny. I heard a mention of Caroline’s cult beauty box, this is the only one I would be interested in. How can I purchase it? Thanks
Is Zelens available anywhere in the US? You have the most beautiful hands.... Could you do a video on how to remove age spots, how to moisturize, etc. for hands? ❤️
I am 62, I cleanse daily at bedtime with castor oil and olive oil mixed together and steam, and my skin is the best it's ever been. Do you know what your 2 experts say about cleansing with oils?
You look amazing in this video! What eyeshadow are you wearing?
Woooop!! Woooop!! And here it is, Merry Christmas to me!! 🎉🎄🎁 A gift from me to me💃🏽Streamlining my skincare products to include quality, targeted products because quite frankly now I've hit forty I need to be more selective. I've read so many reviews on practically all the products from Zelens and they were all so complimentary, it's helped me to make my decision to purchase after seeing so many customer endorsements. Caroline thank you so much for this offer, you are the plug!!🔌✨
Love Zelens currently using vit d and the 3T moisturiser which has improved my dehydrated crepey skin on my cheeks I was looking to purchase the vit a from zelens or the votary intense night oil - what’s the difference between the 2? Thank you x
Your skin looks incredible Caroline X then again you are the skin Queen x
Would love to know your opinion on Echinacea. Sounds silly, but I took them for about a week when I had a cold & my skin became the most glorious it ever has. So odd. I’ve since re-tested twice. Each time.. perfect, radiant, clear skin?
Thank you Caroline. I absolutely love all of your videos and refer to them so much when it comes to my own skincare routine. Thank god you TH-cam channel!!! Can I ask if you have ever tried any products from Image Skincare and if you like anything from them? I’m from Ireland and people here are obsessed with it. It’s quite an expensive brand so I want to do my research before launching into buying any products however, I can find very little info/TH-cam videos on peoples experiences xx
Caroline, great video! If I have stubborn hormonal acne around the jaw line, which product from Zelens would be best? I am on Retin A micro gel and am over 30.
I love Zelens (and you too Caroline, the US pricing is nothing you control) but I could actually fly to London to buy the Zelens products I want for the same amount of the markup we see here in the States. That would be fun though...
Are acne scars and hyper pigmentation the same thing? Would you recommend the brightening serum for acne scars?
Where is the best place to use the vit D in your routine? am or pm? Currently am- cleanse, vit c, moisturise, SPF and pm cleanse, retinol , moisturiser as needed. Please advise X
This brand gets me so excited, and then I remember the prices. I simply cannot justify that kind of spending spree for one item, let alone three (A/C/D)....bleh.
Anyway, pardon the rant - thanks again for another excellent video, Caroline. It's such a great series, and so far it's really well balanced between pricey and more affordable brands! ❤
Hello Caroline. I have little white lumps under my skin around my mouth and chin area. If aggravated they can turn into an acne cyst. Sometimes they turn into a black head that stays for weeks, sometime they come to the surface a little swollen and I can squeeze it out and it’s completely gone, but they only occasionally come up. They stay there for weeks. Are these milia? I was unsure as they are not around the eyes. I have been using clay masks everyday. I have been taking fish oil for my acne for about two weeks, my acne has cleared up for now. And I have dry and dehydrated skin. Are you able to help?
Can you recommend a toothpaste without SLS? I have the same problem at the corners of my mouth, so when you talked about yours, it was like a light bulb moment, thank you. Honestly, following your advice has completely changed my skin and apart from a recent issue (see below), I look better and healthier than ever.
Also, because I'm stressed (horrific house buying process now in it's 8th month) I've broken out in eczema all around my eyes. Would the eye cream be ok?
Hello, im not Ms. Hirons, but I also have the same problem like you. I've been using Sensodyne Daily Care Gentle Whitening toothpaste for over a month now, so far its good. Ingredients are Aqua, Hydrated Silica, Sorbitol, Glycerin, Pentasodium Triphosphate, Potassium Nitrate, PEG-6, Aroma, Titanium Dixoide, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Fluoride, Sodium Saccharin. Contains Sodium Fluoride 0.306% w/w (1400 ppm Fluoride).
I don't know if all the sensodyne toothpastes are SLS free. xx
thank you both, that's very helpful
UK I'm afraid
Sensodyne
Ciara, I’m a Sensodyne user but tried a Colgate sensitive one which gave me the same, adverse affect. Took me a couple of weeks to think it was the toothpaste but I swapped back to Sensodyne and much better within a couple of days.
Love the video! Love the way you explain things about skincare. I have been following you for years. So, so disappointed this doesn't apply to a Louisiana girl. You have followers all over the world. I was so excited, but when trying to ship I forgot that for whatever reason Zelens doesn't ship to U.S. Love the videos! This IS a great skincare line.
uhm... is the tata harper brand overview coming? :)))
Hey Caroline. After watching this I was going to take the plunge and try some products but damn I missed the offer! Any chance it will return soon? Thanks :)
This is glorious, as always. Quick (non Zelens related question) but what non sls toothpaste do you use? Also suffer from POD.... also randomly, I find that nail varnish flares mine :)
What about the Zelens sunscreen, do you still love it Caroline? :)
Hi Caroline have you tried the Clarins mission perfection serum?if so what's your opinion?
Your brand overviews are amazing, thank you Caroline
Caroline, what's the one you would suggest (if I can only buy one) for acne?
can I mix Zelen's with Oskia serum? also Sunday Riley's good genes, can I still use it? but which one goes first? I'm interested in Zelen Vitamin A - does it go first, or after other products? so confusing which ones goes first. and are you sure they won't conflict with each other? thanks!
A, C or D for 26 years old acnaic tight/dehydrated /oily skin/confused/easily disturbed skin? I’m thinking the spray, the pads and one of the ACD? X
So I've added 11 items to my wish list and am going through getting as much as I can without breaking the bank. (thankfully there's a bonus in my future this year from work). I have a question though and would like to know what you think of it. What would be wrong with using Vitamin capsules (a, e, c, d, etc.) directly to the skin? I've thought of this before, but never tried and wondered if that was a bad idea. Love having you on my list to watch! You're great!
It wouldn't work in the same way - they need to be added to a stable formula x
Caroline Hirons feck, so I need to add the Vit A + D drops to something else? Was just using them on their own! I’ve combination/oily skin so felt it wasn’t too heavy + just presumed I was doing it right! 😭🙈
Hi Caroline, Fantastic overview. I am really interested in the Z Matrix. I read your blog post about ingredients to avoid. Phenoxyethanol is listed as the seventh ingredient, should that be a concern? Does it also mean that the ingredients after Phenoxyethanol are all 1% or below? Thank you, new to skincare and still trying to understand ingredients:)
Yes that’s exactly what it means. I don’t have a problem with it but it will probably be the next ingredient that the industry gets rid of. X
Caroline Hirons thank you so much for your reply x
Loving this series Caroline, thanks so much for putting in all the hard yards, much appreciated! xx PS. Love the long videos.
OOOhhhhh, I've been waiting for this one! I buy every year when you do his review with that amazing discount code! Do you have a date to sign-up for your Box this year, Caroline? I know we saw a teaser, but I hadn't seen anything about the email sign up! XO Aloha!
❤️ Absolutely loved this overview! I find it to be such an amazing brand. My skin never reacts in a bad way to any of his products! I could choose any of them as well but due to my very dry skin I prefer some of his products like the Z matrix, Peel pads, Intense Defense serum and his treatment oils! Must look into the stemcomplex😋
Your presentation style and skills are outstanding. This sounds like a truly reputable brand
Caroline, what would you recommend if I am wanting something like the A (retinal) oil but it’s not within my budget?
