A N you need to watch hyram!!!!
@@fiz3509 i did and im hooked now thanks!
I was in business with them and I know for sure the products are made in multiple factories across China. Maybe this is the reason for the hit or miss, among other factors.
Medichem is the UK manufacturer for some of their liquid products.
I don’t believe in what they advertise because 90% of their products are made in China.
They don’t have 100% control over product manufacturing and testing.
Mr. X
so they’re not a good company?
Fizzahxo x, they offer budget products, as a distributor I got them at 60-65% off retail. The production cost must be ridiculous cheap for them to make a profit. This makes me wonder about the quality and long term effects.
It’s true Adam worked in the past for big cosmetics and has access to their OEM factories, but I don’t believe they have the same quality.
My big thing with Revolution is that I grew up poor. For most of my adult life I’ve been on minimum wage. I get that copying completely is gross but some people don’t have the choice or privilege of being able to choose the more expensive brands that Revolution dupe. You got this video right on the nose.
me too but i trust the ordinary over this. its still cheaper and more reliable
emmathomsonsmith I didn’t mean in comparison with The Ordinary, just a lot of other high end brands they’ve copied or even just duped.
@@emmathomsonsmith the ordinary Salicylic acid gave me a chemical burn twice (months apart decided to retry it) from one night of use.
I can use the SA from Revolution daily with no irritation AND it reduced my acne tremendously
@@SimplyAWitch9 yeah everyones skin is different glad you found something which worked for you
Chris'Cauldron I don’t think that necessarily means it’s a bad product. I have sensitive skin and can use that no problem and it works wonders for me. Everyone’s skin is different
She's that friend who copies your outfit.
But on the other hand she doesn't discriminate against people of colour, rip people off or torture animals.
I think she does know right from wrong you know!
Exactly...
Exactly
Thats a cute way of putting it! I agree. They're my favorite brand honestly
Lotte for overpriced products, yes but the ordinary is extremely inexpensive
Brits don’t seem to have an issue with revolution making affordable dupes for their British/European consumers (in fact it’s very appreciated) so neither should americans😊xxx
I think brands rip us off all the times so why not let them rip each other off lol
😅😂🙏🏽💗
Absolutely!
True!! 👏🏼😂
If a product can be made similarly but sold at a much lower price......I appreciate a company that will not shake me down for every last penny I have if it's not necessary.
Right? I’m not caping for these millionaires lol.
let's be honest, literally every skincare brand sells a hyaluronic acid serum and a niacinamide serum. And there are so many high end brands that copy each other, but I guess that's a story for another day.
Yeah and she said that they copied benefits for the pore filling primer and tarte for the concealer like it’s just a pore filling primer and a concealer
I know, right?
Oh i thought she was actually gonna talk about the products
All I care of when it comes to beauty brands and their products is:
- price
- shade range
- cruelty free
- good quality
Revolution is my favorite make up brand and I started to buy some of their skincare products because my favorite The Ordinary products are always sold out here in Germany.
Are they as good as the ordinary?
@@Naraa001 Yes I am really happy with my products. But some of them are a little bit more expensive than The Ordinary
@@Jayjay_07 I just compared the ingredients,I have to say I find the ordinary more valuable. And revolution has fragnance really high up on the list
Ich versuche seit Monaten mein Niacinamide nachzukaufen und es einfach wirklich überall immer ausverkauft...
@@Naraa001 Well it depends on the products you use. Some of them are exactly the same and others are dupes. Personally I don't have any problems with fragrance.
I know people hate that they copy, but sometimes I can't afford high end products and will only be able to try something similar because of these copy cat companies.
Yeah I usually get the ordinary but they jumped to £15 and £25 for their niacinamide and granactive retinoid last week, Revolutions, being UK based, were still £8 and £13 and so far I'm extremely happy, but I'll see how I feel in a month 🤷♂️
@@karl810 Revolution had/has a special on their site, buy 2 get one free.
@@SaucyGalMakeup really? well you've sold me on another month then if its still on as I wanted to try their vitamin e too 😂 thank you
@@karl810 Go check out their site. It might be over soon.
@@karl810 Really? In my country they are still with their original prices. I got their Vit C powder, Squalene serum and Red peel for less than 15£.
On the other hand, Revolution Beauty plays a role to shake these high end brands in a sense that the exact products can be created and sold for much cheaper. People who prefer authenticity will pay the premium, and people who don't want to don't need to! Once big brands lose enough customers for this, they will need to do something to offer more competitive prices. At the end of the day, it's all benefitial for consumers.
Personally I don't buy many products from Revolution Beauty, but I appreciate the competition they bring to the market.
Agreed! Then the big brands will scam less because that's what it is with some of the products, 💯 scamming .... since the exact same products can be created at a friction of the price
You don’t talk about R&D. This is much more easier to offer a cheaper product when you don’t have to pay for a whole research department. Finding great formulas as a cost. Copying is just a fraction of that cost. This is pretty unfair that this brand is allowed to copy so obviously all of its competitors.
Emilia I definitely agree for the skincare section, but makeup? Honestly how different is a benefit foundation to a tarte one? And no one accuses them of copying!
Kong Kwan I also appreciate the competition it brings, but in terms of the skincare line, I feel like they are either copying the Ordinary too much (AHA+BHA Peeling Mask, Niacinimide 10%+Zinc 1%), gimmicky products (Strawberry Donut Face Mask, Holographic/Pink Glitter/Gold Glitter Face Mask), or they are just basic products (Hyaluronic Acid Moisture Cream, Cucumber Eye Gel). Considering their brand and their labeling of “Revolution,” it honestly seems more like they are trying to fit in to the market rather than revolutionize the market. Theres already The Ordinary, The Inkey List, Cerave, CosRX, and other brands that have about the same stuff for the same price. Their name seems cool and all, but it just seems contradictory to what they sell (in terms of the skincare).
@@jonathanm.9801 I think what the brand prides itself with that is revolutionary is the Prize, more on the Makeup Side than the Skincare Side though. their Products cost only a friction of the high end ones while having similar results in terms of Makeup, like the Conceal and Define Concealer having similar results as Tartes Shapetape while costing way less, even when comparing amounts: Shape Tape costs 27€ for 10ml, Conceal and Define Concealer costs 5€ at 4g, so even if you buy 3 Revolution ones,you still save 12 Bucks, if you go for a SuperSize one (also 5€, but 13g) you save way more. for Skincare, its just harder because the Ordinary allready makes so low prizes, its having a hard time going below that.
I am in the UK. The reason Too Faced did not sue Revolution is because Revolution did those palettes first.
I don’t understand how some people can try and drag this brand and say its shady. But yet they are way more inclusive and its not just for certain groups of people. It is also great quality for being so cheap. And as for being ‘dupes’ I would prefer to pay less for almost identical products, what people don’t realise is that price doesn’t mean better quality it just means prettier packaging and for me it’s going in a drawer and no ones really going to see it.
the brand DID copy the ordinary at first but their most recent products have be ORIGINAL ideas (like the 15% niacinamide, the tonics vitamin C, bakuchiol ect....) people need to stop reviewing their 5 ordinary copies products from 5 years ago bc their recent ones look amazing
nada reyene The inkey list already does bakuchiol in the form of a moisturiser. I think it cost £12
The 15% niacinamide serum is great, I definitely prefer it over TO's but I'd avoid the tonics/mist sprays unless you want a ton of fragrance and dyes.
I really wanted to buy the cica toner but when 'fragrance/parfum' is higher on the ingredients list than the main active itself, then that's a problem lol.
@@skippy8696 yes I agree with you, I just avoided their tonic and sprays. I'm using their niacinamide 10% and it's great, absorbs well and leaves a good finish. I haven't used TO brand but I have heard people saying it pills up. I'm still going ahead to try the ordinary though, especially their buffet and alpha arbutin
@@oluchiedith2610 It's true, some of the Ordinary serums are quite thick and don't layer well under SPF, foundation and other serums. But, their Buffet serum is fantastic and I'm also dying to try their Alpha Arbutin. Good molecules (owned by Beautylish) has a fantastic Niacidimide serum for $6.00.
This brand (revolution skincare) came out when the ordinary wasn't the most accessible in the UK. It could be found in some department stores and they could be bought online but you couldn't go into a drugstore and buy them. Revolution skincare brought these products into the British drugstore when there wasn't much like it. Now Both the ordinary and the inkey list are sold at boots and Superdrug has its own line of serums. Also, it is the law for British companies to have a section on modern slavery on their website so that is pretty normal (and something all companies should do regardless).
revolution, at least in the uk, sell in stores while the ordinary is only available online outside of london, so that might be part of it
The ordinary is available in store at larger boots stores...
I'm from Spain and I've seen more publicity and products with REVOLUTION than THE ORDINARY/DECIEM, I guess it's because UK products are still inside the EU zone when it comes to marketing. Although there is some DECIEM products they're usually easily out of stock or missing varieties and I guess because of its shipment towards Europe. as much as I want to focus with DECIEM, I have to buy the copycats sometimes.
Ordinary is available in Fenwick btw
Mamajem Jemjt and the “larger” stores are few and far apart sadly where as Revolution is even in the smaller stores
@@kylepop4371 very true... My larger store is in the city center...too much effort so its easier to pick up what's available in store
Honestly, I don't mind the dupe-y stuff because they're ripping off already giant corporations and providing people with varied options on ingredients, price, and being cruelty-free like you said. Those things matter a lot in what I look for in makeup. Like Urban Decayis huge brand with a big following at the end of the day, it's on them if they don't cater to a lower price point & go cruelty-free. If it was an indie artist they were copying, I'd have a problem. But especially with the cruelty-free approach & attention to diversity, I honestly really love the brand. I'm excited to try their skincare!
Same, Cruelty free will always win me over, and I have been testing a lot from Revolution ever since they came out with first products. Also, been using them for 5 years and when I went cruelty free 3 years ago I was so curious to see what their status was and I was so relieved to see that they do not engage in cruel testing practices
The Ordinary isn't a giant corporation. They are at most a medium sized one.
@@warrentronica no they r a big brand lmao theyre literally going to be fully owned by estee lauder in a few years 💀
James Welsh made a video on them, showing that they ripped off a really small indie brand, too, wit receipts. And that's where I draw the line.
I’ve been using Their palettes for a good time and they are AMAZING, I don’t mind them making dupes. I’m not going to spend 50$ in a concealer ;-; I love them.
At least revolution is upfront about duping products. Many influencers and brands steal ideas from smaller influencers (especially people of color) and then play dumb when confronted.
*coughs in Huda beauty*
Especially ppl of colour?!" One particularly brand doing that is not every influencer "of colour." These types rip of plenty of ppl, colour notwithstanding.🙏💜
I use quite a few revolution skincare products. I find it much easier to get hold of than the ordinary and the products I have used from them have been awesome.
The one thing that annoyed me with this video is that you're claiming that Revolution Beauty has gone through different brand names but they haven't??? I Heart Revolution, Revolution Pro, Obsession and Skincare Revolution are all lines under the Revolution Beauty Brand. You have done your research well, but also haven't!
I don't know about that, I agree with a lot of comments here, about competitively and prices and inclusivity as well as cruelty free, etc etc, but they do touch a lot of products and they do have lots of names, I heart revolution was "I heart makeup" a few years ago, and I still have one palette that can confirm that, an right now I saw that they are launching a eeeeew brand "revolution xx" or something...so yea...they have a lot of names an products....too many, to the point I loved them but now I stopped buying because I'm confused...
@@denisavoinescu7961 There's a difference between brand and line, yes the I heart revolution was I heart makeup until the company rebranded itself and did so with their lines. Each line is individual and touch on different types of products; rev pro being more quality and "high end", I heart rev being the teen and fun line, the obsession line being more inclusive as well as colour poppy and arty, the new xxrev line having the makeup have highly regarded skincare ingredients mixed in so it "does more". My point was Cass made it seem like Revolution Beauty had renamed their brand all those times.... (They used to be called Makeup Revolution until their rebrand)
IssyBee I love some of their products, and I know every line from them, I buyed maybe one of the first palette they launched a few years ago, but i feel that everything is becoming a little bit overwhelming🙄
@@denisavoinescu7961 That's the point I was making. You don't need everything they produce. You buy products to suit your needs, shade, undertone, compliment your outfit, eye or hair colour, skin condition, allergies, want it to do a little more (for example vitamin E or SPF). They are a drug store brand trying to cater to everyone while trying to be innovative and to jump on trends to maximise profits.
@@IssyBee17 didnt they recently add another Sub-Brand called XX Revolution? I love the brand, but it can be overwhelming with all the things they got
Honestly most of my skincare routine is from revolution, they are the only (mostly) vegan/CF brand that I actually like and have seen results from that I can easily get my hands on. Plus I feel like they have a lot bigger range of products then most brands that I can actually afford as a student! (Also I’ve also always been the person that’s loved their makeup from the beginning !)
Georgia Lucas I totally agree! They have a large range of stuff that is accessible, affordable, diverse and cruelty free. They’re makeup and skincare is good and not everything is copied. Not everyone can afford expensive beauty products so personally it means I can experiment with makeup and skincare without breaking the bank.
Yeah totally! I love the big range, but for some reason people see it as a minus.
I've came to learn about skincare and not listen to somebody entitledlly complain that the packaging is similar to an expensive brand. I live in a poor Southeast European country where foreign companies exploit us (in my case I work for an ultra-rich Japanese firm that pays me only $2.8/h), so Revolution is the maximum I can afford. No, it's not the crazy affordable stuff, it's the maximum. I didn't come here to be shamed for that.
FireGriffon th ordinary is cheaper
@@humnah5669 thank u for saving that... revolution makeup is good, but the skincare is something too serious for me, I'd rather save money for a month to buy a great product, and I'm not rich either...
Denisa Voinescu the ordinary is cheaper then revolution you don’t have to save for months if you can afford revolution is what I’m trying to say as you won’t need to spend as much
Therefore you’re not being shamed about it
true!
Honestly - Revolution has been a blessing for me. Good makeup and skin care for less than half the price (and cheap shipping). Whilst the ordinary is also cheap on good skin care, revolution is still cheaper and more accessible to me.
for companies who name their skin care using ingredient names and percentages and package in the typical serum format, although as consumers we can call one being dupe for the other, I never consider the later arrivals as "copies" and I am perfectly okay with them being similar
I like that they are a "dupe" company. I know it's not ethical but some of us don't have the buck to spend on high-end brands and Revolution is here to save us🤙
I love quality dupes like Revolution and affordable brands like the Ordinary and other brands, because they actually suceeded in humiliating and exposing overpriced brands that are out there to take our money for nothing. And you know what? I'm sick and tired or watching literally EVERYTHING being a matter of class, where everything good in life needs to be pricey and expensive for those who can afford it, like the rest of us don't have the right to have access to quality products and healthy, glowing skin. Why?
The “ Robyn Hood” of the beauty industry . Steals from the rich to give to the poor
I really like revolution products. They are affordable and suits my skin as well. When I convert the product price in my currency they are still affordable. I do not like those influencers who directly shit on this brand because they can afford other brands.
Revolution is actually huge here in the UK. I personally haven't used any of the skincare products coz I don't think it's worth trading in The Ordinary products I use, though I do have one palette from them which I do enjoy if we want to talk about makeup.
Just a point - Publishing Modern slavery statement is the law in UK (modern slavery act 2015) so if they turnover £36 million they HAVE to publish the statement not CHOOSE to because they are good guys
As someone pretty anti-rich corporations exploiting their workers to make loads of profit and charge consumers a fuck load of money, I'm on board with revolution👍🏼
IDC if brands rip off each other, whoever makes a better quality product in a more reasonable price and cruelty free, I’ll go for that one.
Does she work for/with The Ordinary? That’s what it seemed like in this video, plus she has a ton of videos about The Ordinary. I’m genuinely curious
The anti slavery statement is a legal requirement in the UK
She legit spent over 10 minutes talking about how shady she thinks revolution is and in the end she says “competition is good” ffs what a waste of time watching this.
I know right!! I expected ingredient breakdown and comparison not this lol
She did a comparaison video, she said both were great : th-cam.com/video/HEPXme3xSXo/w-d-xo.html
honestly... I didn't need all that background. Just the review, she just talked about the skin care only for few minutes at the end... I have no words...
I kept waiting for the video to "start" like click bait. I really thought she was going to talk about ingredients and formula.
Christiana James same she literally listed all the amazing parts abt the brand and then was like grasping at straws to make it sound negative I’m so confused 💀💀
I use Revolution serums for long time and I like them. No allergies, no redness. I like them very much!
As a person who sometimes studies economics I agree with your unpopular opinion. There needs to be competition.
I've used many makeup revolution products and fair enough they do dupe products but they make it for the average girl not the girl who gets everything free from TH-cam. It's inexpensive and really good quality. I haven't tried there skincare yet but I have many of there eyeshadow palettes and they are the best quality drugstore shadows I have ever tried.
Within the last year Revolution has become one of my favourite brands. I grew up not being able to afford high end brands like Too Faced and the I heart revolution chocolate palettes are amazing and a fraction of the price. And as someone who has brown skin, I have struggled finding affordable makeup for my skin tone but Revolution has a decent range. I love how ethical the brand is as well. It just shows that whatever your business there is no excuse to not be ethical.
Not bothered about dupes, I cant afford really expensive skincare or makeup all of the time, all of my makeup is revolution, I like with revolution it's like 2 pounds for a concealer that's v cheap and you get good quality products for skincare I dont really use revolution but I do have the serum which I like using and I do see a difference in my skin when i do use it and when I dont
I have a lot of trouble getting my hands on The Ordinary products, I have an easier time buy Revolution Skincare. I have some products and I can't say they are spectacular but they work.
Raquel Joana you can buy on cult beauty, deciem website, Boots, ASOS and I believe there is a store in London somewhere
If your in the UK there are several places that sell it online although there are some boots where they have the products on display with testers. Not sure which specific stores have displays so check with boots
@@irina5588 I'm in Portugal, hence the difficulty.
I hope your health is doing better and you are recovering better than what docs predicted. Sending you a whooole lot of love, positive vibes and prayers-good wishes. Stay safe sweetheart ! You are amazing, kind and extremely strong , never forget that xx
What happend to her?
What happened to her??
Hi , a correction, the gold elixir DOES have colloidal gold in it. You can read colloidal gold in the ingredients description. The iron has nothing to do whit the gold. So no it's not ripping any one of.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!! I am so thankful to have found your channel, you are the best!
I was the person who did the math on their stuff. Actually a lot of drugstore products are like that, they just give you half of what a lux brand would give you. I trust the ordinary I don’t trust revolution beauty especially after that mold mildew disaster. Gross. Glad you made this.
I totally agree with you and when it comes to their concealer yea u pay 8$ but it only last for maybe 2 weeks like it goes quick and u cant get to the very bottom of the product ware it gets wasted shape tape last for months . I have learned this lesson quick.
Actually you are mistaken. They charge £7 for the big size which is 13 ml whilst Tarte charge £23 for 10 ml so nowhere near similar I'm afraid.
@@melonmelon7427 here in American its 7$ for the regular small size
@@heathersargent289 They have a supersize one that is 3x the product for just $3.00 more. 😁
@@joannej_TH-cam yes I saw that online when I was looking threw ULTAs site but I always went in store to buy it and didn't shop much online till this pandemic so I didn't know till then . I like the concealer but I have found a new favorite so I don't know if I'll repurchase that one but if I do ill deffintly order it online next time.😘
For me the reasons why I like them is because
1. They're accessible, so I can actually go into a store and get them, on the Day, and they're not out of stock for ages and I have to pay delivery, or buy More to get Free delivery like the Ordinary.
And 2. The cruelty free AND vegan formulas. And I know that people will say "but the Ordinary has loads of vegan formulas!..." (See point 1), lol,
Also Cassandra, what products of their's did you like/think we're Better than the Ordinary??...
I love the revolution HA serum! it’s one of the few on the marketer that does not contains fragrance or denatured alcohol and it’s affordable.
I love your videos, I always learn so much from them and i love how you break everything down and make it so simple!
Omg I remember your makeup tutorials back in the day! Youre so knowledgable , amazing to see youve come so far well done love your videos xx
I have to say, we've seen time and time again how brands charge outrageous prices for both skincare and make up purely on the strength of their name and not the stregth of the products they churn out, so I am not sheding any tears for the brands that Revolution "draw inspiration from". I appreciate their ethics and their price point.
Today I contacted a skincare brand asking how much % of salicylic acid is in their moisturizing gel because i use the PC BHA 2% liquid in the evening and I dont want to put a gel on me with also a high %. Because maybe that is too much for my skin.They told me that they dont want to share their formulation information.Im not asking for their compleet recipe just wanna know if it will fit my routine with the SA%. I never came across with a brand that does this. Is this normal and should I trust a brand that wont share this type of info? Im new in the skincare world so I hope you can help.
Good brands (in my opinion) always put the ingredients online. It makes sense wanting to know the ingredients, especially actives, because actives can really ruin your skin if not used right (like you said). I wouldn’t trust any brand, who doesn’t put their ingredients (and %) online. For me it shows that they don’t care for the customers, but more the money. 😎
You are right, competition is essential, it keeps on their toes. I have been watching quite a few of your videos, there are great. I just bought my first order of , will keep you updated on my conclusion in a few months...
wow. i started watching Cassandra again after kinda leaving the skincare community. & i legit am going through the experience of a friend dating my ex when we recently broke up. So that hit right at heart.
🥺
I wish you the very best in life. I’m sorry, may you heal. ❤️
Revolution are known for encouraging the people they've sent or packages to or are collaborating with to give brutally honest reviews regardless.
They also often reach out to and work with well known dermatologists or beauty and skincare journalists/experts like Nadine baggott asking for their opinions on products, advice on improving and also what other products they should look into making xx
I love it. I bought one of their rip offs named "light and shade" with the exact same colours and lay out as KvD shade and light palette. Saw a video where someone did half a face with KvD, half revolution and they looked 100% the same. The quality is friggin amazing and it cost me 5euro. In fact everything i bought has been of great quality, besides the x-large 35 euro eyeshadow palette i got for free with an order. I still buy the ordinary, because it works for me, it's inexpensive, they're a good company, they ship quick and directly to my door.
Tbh i don't care about brands duping the ordinary after what they did to his founder , and i think that another brands coming Up with cheap skincare for everyone was his visión so i Guess he would be proud
Hello, can you explain what you mean with the sentence "what they did to their founder" please?
Look up ‘Brendon Truaxe’. He had some bad mental health issues before he died, and made a number of claims against EL. I think selling shares to EL is what triggered the huge mental episode.
@@kerry7966 Then why there's no evidence, literally her " best friend" didn't even had a recorded conversation or something, not even one interview where he acts weird, something is off, now she is running deciem idk what to think about that
Exactly, you don’t know. You’re just speculating.
I'm okay with knock-off makeup products when the original comes from a major brand (like hourglass, benefit, chanel, etc) but if they're taking from a smaller, indie brand (which has happened a few times) then it's not okay. Indie brands already have a small consumer base, so ripping off these brands can really negatively impact their long-term survival.
I absolutely love Revolution’s both skincare and makeup line. If The Ordinary is out of stock I immediately run to Revolution because it’s a great alternative.
I love Revolution skincare & make up! 😍 Their 15% niacinamide is amazing! 🤗
It is accessible in my country that's what is important to me right now. It's values also speaks to me. I like this brand.
which revolution formulas are good? love the video 🥺
They claim to be "fragrance free" but most of their skincare has fragrance in them
All of their skincare has fragrance.
@@AshlitaKLaGrangeGA no, the newer launches have fragrance in them, the niacinamide + zinc and cica line are fragrance free, but the essence sprays, tonics, Jake Jamie collab and most of the masks, except from the overnight mask , pink clay mask, got fragrance in them
@@bowmmasterpro1526 I forgot. They used citrus or other essentials in some of the new stuff to get around & away w/ so called fragrance free. I have Polymyocitis/ Dermatomyocitis. I have extreme sensitivity to my scalp, hands, & feet. Argon oil in conditioner has caused contact dermatitis. I'm already on steroids & other immunosuppressant therapy drugs, so I have to suffer til it goes away. Fortunately my face doesn't have the same sensitivity, but it's hard to put skincare on my face w/ nitrile gloves on. If I can find skincare that doesn't have ingredients that include essentials, I don't have to put gloves on.
@Clementina Yael Severina M. the UK , where I'm from, the 10% niacinamide +1% zinc is fragrance free and other basic products and cica line are fragrance free in the uk
@@AshlitaKLaGrangeGA you might be right about their products containing Fragrance where you're from, but here in the England, products in the cica line, niacinamide+zinc serum are fragrance free. But both vitamin c serums do contain fragrance; like wise do the essence sprays, tonics, Jake Jamie collab in general plus most other of their face masks, minus a few. There might be different formulation for different areas of the world
The Revolution Skincare Targeted Blemish Serum 2% Salicylic Acid is the only affordable product I have found that is clearing up my back acne really well. It will probably clear up facial acne as well if the problem is caused from excess oil on the skin.
Omg with the mean girl comment I am cryyyinggg ahahahaha Casandra you are the BEST! You are so proffesional and knowledgeable but still funny, and you know how to deliver information in an amazing way. I really appeciate your ethics, because it is something we dont see that often nowadays. Love from Spain!! Iris.
Whow. That was really interesting to hear about and got me thinking 🤔
Love your channel!!!Thank you for all your work.
So so smart, thank you!! ❤️
I appreciate the video, personally I’ve been buying the products since the beginning they are great for their price points for makeup especially as a university student when you want to have pallets in neon colours, autumn shades and a normal smokey tones it definitely hits the price points. I think they are great sure quality isn’t top-notch but you pay for what you get and I mean they are amazing for what they cost
Brilliant metaphors in this content! 🙌🏼
One thing i learned from trying different skincare products is to not really focus on ingredients but try different options. Most of my skincare products have horrible ingredients in opinion of many experts and beauty gurus but they work great on me while "good" products do nothing or do more damage to my skin
I’m super late seeing this video but I’m glad you brought up Makeup Revolution’s dupes especially the shape tape dupe. I swear by thier concealer and as a darker girl I loved the shade range.
I ordered their salicylic acid 2% serum since The Ordinary has been out forever and the fact that it has a strong fragrance was an immediate turn off. I was very surprised since they are supposedly fragrance free.
Fo sho. I get that! They look like identical dupes but the formulas are really different
I was considering this but noticed how high on the ingredients list fragrance was I changed mind. I don't understand why they put fragrance in it in the first place. So unnecessary.
hoshirisu yes! I wish I would have looked at the ingredients before ordering. The product does seem to work but every time I use it it’s like an overload of fragrance that makes me cringe.
Cassandra Bankson btw, I’m new to your channel but I have learned sooo much! Thank you!
Another youtuber I watch has a great phrase when talking about cosmetic companies that have a limited shade range. She calls them "Tone deaf". I have never heard the phrase used that way before but it fits perfectly. So I guess, Tarte would be tone deaf. Great video as always Cassandra. Thank you for looking out for us girl. Much appreciated.
Have you tried or have any thoughts on the new Revolution Skincare Boost collection? How do you find percentages of ingredients in products? Trying to decide if these products are worth the try. Thanks Cass love what you do! ❤️
Guys i need some help i looked everywhere for information but its been difficult too find, its about stacking niacinamide... in the morning my moisturiser and suncream both have niacinamide inside it already and in the night my black sail serum has niacinamide in it (my night moisturiser does not include any niacinamide) so my question is would the ordinary 10% niacinamide for the mornings be too much? / overdosing? Since 3 of my products already include niacinamide?😫 thankyou🥺
Thxxx! Abut the canoe serum, u suggest not to use it?
This is why I love your channel. You're a completely no bullshit kind of person!
Oh lord I just JADORRRAY you!!! You are my absolute ‘go to’ for all skin hair! Especially active ingredients! You go guuuurl!!! Mwah 😘
I’m still trying to find an Ordinary alternative 😅 so I’ve just started looking into Revolution as a potential. I love the Ordinary but purchasing their products is directly giving money to Estée Lauder and funding their notorious animal testing for the products they put out. (Yes I get they only own 30% and it’s for China, but if consumers turn a blind eye then it will never stop)
And I luv MR packaging!! I've placed over 10 orders and have NEVER recieved a broken or damaged product, so that there is great! I have received damaged packages ftom BH, Morphe & Ulta. Kudos to Revolution! Beauty!!
They also have a cica line which contains centella astica which is soothing. This line is fragrance free but the cream had highlighted ingredients are below 1% and the serum has dimethicone in it
Why do you call duping shady? They don’t make a secret out of it..🤣 I am happy MUR makes affordable products ( coz not everyone has 1 million followers on YT) and they came up with more variety in shades for darker skin tones, as you said. They make good quality eyeshadows and much more. Also it sounds childish to compare them to a mean girl. Besides they do have nice collabs and new concepts of their own. If they weren’t allowed to dupe then you also have to go after other dupe brands imo
Thank you so much for your great videos! Could you review elemis, please? Thank you!
Love your videos Cassandra 😘❤
Thank you, Arta! xoxo
Love your Toronto coffee mug. I have fallen in love with The Ordinary and The Inkey List. I have my son on a regime for acne and myself for anti aging...all suggestions from you. I have only been using it three weeks and have been getting tons of compliments on my skin and my teenage son, is so happy with his results already too. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and research.
Thanks for another great video with the dish on this brand. I live in Canada and would like to see you review a skin care brand that's Canadian called Reversa. Thank you!
i bought Moisturising booster the Orange one. so when I applied I noticed small sparkles in it I don't know why I need sparkles on my skincare routine so please help me🙏🙏🙏
Love your honesty takes a lot of balls.
I live in a small town in Canada, so having certain beauty products delivered from where ever becomes really expensive... for me revolution is just really accessible/affordable...
What people might not realise including yourself is that sometimes Revolution’s strategy was making some products in markets that the similar originals were not necessarily selling to especially in Europe, getting them in a retail shop for example when others weren’t available. Probably thanks to Revolution we finally saw Inkey and Ordinary being available in one of our major retail stores.
hi, this is Laura from Italy and you have a new subscriber. thank you for being clear.
New subscriber and I absolutely love all your skin are content!!! Also would be interested in seeing one of these videos about Sunday Riley
The ordinary is and has always been my first choice.. However.. But with not been able to always get the ordinary recently.. I do end up buying revolution.. For the sake of price.. Ive not really had much luck with the inkey list..
I understand why people have a dislike for makeup revolution or revolution beauty but as a person who can't spend a lot of money on makeup (and quite frankly wouldn't want to) I'd like to have access to something similar to the big brands without having buyers remorse, it gives us an opportunity to enjoy trends that might be out of our pocket range.
Hi Cassandra, hope all is well, thank u for sharing all ur wonderful knowledge with us! MUCH APPRECIATED!!!! Do u think u could take a look at The Inkey List and/or Fourth Ray Beauty? Good Molecules perhaps? 🤔☺️ thanks in advance. you rock!!
Great video, Cassandra! Very informative
Yay!! I’ve been waiting on this !!! Love U
YAYAYYY! I hope you enjoy! Any other brands youd like to request? xo
Maybe Revox if it’s avaiable in US (Revox Just cosmetics by Revoxb77)
I don’t think they’re great, however, The Ordinary is limited and out of stock quite often, and if you’re skin isn’t super-sensitive, the Revolution offers a back-up option that is pretty good at a similar price point. They are NOT the same as the ordinary but I’m glad they exist because they’re pretty good in a pinch.
Man she’s just a good person. Been watching her for yearssss and I’m here to watch all your beauty videos but at the end of the day I feel good because I feel like I got transferred a genuine good energy rather than the infos that I was looking for in the first place 😂
Thank you so much for your info. That's very kind of you.
As you said, it's so good to have alternatives for consumers like us. I love them all, when the price is right!!
For me, I kinda love Revolution's Niacinamide+Zinc more than the Ordinary's, as it doesn't pill at all.
After using 3 bottles of the Ordinary's I found that it always pilled every way I used.
Do you know the brand "facetheory"? I would love to hear your opinion on them I think the have really nice products 😁 for example 15% azelaic acid serum or 2% salicylic acid serum. All of there products are fragrance free (some do have essential oils but they almost always got the same product with an essential oil free option)
