Hi from Germany, 51 going 52 - and your recommendations really worked on my sun damage and hyper pigmentation. Huge fan of timeless vit c, your ordinary reviews and your skin care routines. You really deserve all the success you have with your channel!
Angie, you’ve truly changed so many of our skin care lives :). I am HUGELY appreciative of all the effort you put in and the way you go into detail.. 😊 thanks
Acids are an older gal's best friend. When people ask me why I have very few lines I say "sunblock and tretinoin." It's surprising how many women still don't know about retin-a.
I use the Ordinary's Peeling Solution once a week and I love it. Once a week is enough for me to keep my skin looking good and it's like getting brand new skin. In fact, most of my skin care is on your recommendations, Angie. Thank you!
Hi Angie - SORRY for the long text! 😮 Just wanted to say that you ALWAYS look amazing but in this video you look extra amazing. Also, love the hair today - the color, cut, length and flatter style are especially flattering and youthful, to my eye anyway. You’re seriously the “youngest” looking in this video that I think I’ve ever seen you look. Which is only important NOT from a value-as-a-human-being, sexist “women have to look young and pretty or else” perspective but from a professional one in that you’re the actual living, practicing proof of what you teach on your channel. Can’t thank you enough for your learning what you have and practicing it EVERY DAY and teaching by example and this channel. With today’s health science, skincare, and makeup technology, yes we CAN reverse age our skin and bodies (and WITHOUT a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, staff, and bank acccount) and this is how. Pure and simple. (Well, maybe not quite “simple” 😁 but it would be SO much harder, heck almost impossible, without you). So Super helpful. Also, looks are only so important but on the other hand there are so many valuable practical, confidence and self care (even career) reasons why maintaining, and improving once’s looks ARE important - for men AND women but anyone with half a brain knows that women have it a lot harder than the men to figure out how and then actually practice, maintain and improve / aka keep on top of. I’m so glad you’ve made this channel and do this real, serious, important, and yes, HARD work. You’re the only beauty vlogger worth my paying attention to (except I do watch Wayne Goss occasionally - for even MORE makeup product news and techniques in general - but even his channel is very secondary for me compared to yours). Your videos save the rest of us a TON of time and money in trying to figure out what the heck to actually BUY and use in a very confusing marketplace of millions of options, products and “information”. NONE of this “stuff” is simple to understand much less know how to use for the results we want. But YOU make it simple for US. Lots of love and a million thanks for all you do. 😁❤️💕 Also, re: your video updating us with your divorce: have thought of you often regarding that. Congratulations for being a responsible adult and doing what you know was right / the best for you. Wishing you all the best in thriving and living the life you need and want. I often think of your words and remember to aim in my own life for those feelings of “lightness and hope” that we all need. 🙂
omg I tried it as well and love it! but it is sooo expensive and didn't get that much in the bottle :( will try the Dr Brenner one which is less than $20 and see if i get the same effect.
I TRIED TIMELESS THROUGHOUT ENTIRE BOTTLE ALL WHILE BURNING MY FACE OFF. FINALLY... Found Good Molecules Vit C L-Ascorbic POWDER that i mix in with GM Super Peptides liquidy lotion. Use every day while using Tretinoin every night. So far I only use The Ordinary's Peel once per week, but my face is GORGEOUS!!! Skin Glows all over!!! These have been my HG products and so so cheap!!!!! I have Not used my facial Glycolic lotion YET nor incorporated any other products. But will slowly re-introduce them each.
I could watch you every day, Angie. And your videos fly by like the best television shows, the ones where you go, wait, that was supposed to be an hour, and it felt like 15 minutes! Thank you so much for being so real + authentic. I trust you to the moon!
Wow! I am now so addicted to Angie and Hot and Flashy on TH-cam. I watch your videos every night when I eat dinner. I’m 67 but am told I don’t look it. I still wear pink in my hair! I have bought almost your entire skincare regimen and am sticking to it. I want to have my face CO2 lasered but can’t afford it right now. So I’m taking this route. Thank you Angie! You’re great!
The one good thing about lockdown during this whole covid thing. I was binge watching your videos. You’re so knowledgeable. I learned so much. Not just about skin care but makeup application. All the different products. Now I wonder if it’s Tuesday or Friday. Can you do a video on the different bronzers. Think I may have seen one. I’ll have to check again. Or what I really need is understanding finding the right foundation color. What my undertone is. I’ve read a lot about it. But if you could show us visually that would be helpful!!!
I know...Binge watching Angie...I thought I was the only one 😆 my friends are binge watching Netflix, and I'm watching Hot & Flashy😂 needless to say, I am lightyears ahead in fashion & beauty for our age group! About finding whether you are cool, neutral or warm undertoned. Look at the vein color on your wrist/inside arm. If your veins have a greenish hue, that's 'warm', believe it or not. Purple hued veins are 'cool', and blue toned veins are neutral....something I've learned from Angie, and I do take notes! About the self-tanning video...yes there is one. You can go to Angie's Hot & Flashy website and probably find it there. I just watched it yesterday...very informative. Didn't take notes bc I figure I'll wait till my skin is better primed, roned, and exfoliated before I attempt self-tanning. I just started using Curology, (learned about it from Angie, of course), after years of using Paula's Choice 1% Retinol, thinking I was using a Retin-A product....der! ...I am actually kicking myself for not paying close attention to the difference BTW an OTC retinol product and the real deal, i.e., tretinoin. I'm spending much leas on Curology's tretinoin personalized formula than I was spending on Paula Choice OTC retinol. Good luck with your skincare/make-up goals - you've come to the right place - Angie is the best, IMO 🤗
Good idea or if anyone can link us to one of the great past videos regarding this, it would be good, as well. It's likely she already covered this in 1 or 2 other videos over the past 7 Years. Great idea, Barbara Fairbanks👍
I've bought Curology around the time you started recommending it. My skin was starting to get dull and was not as smooth as it used to be. I love the difference it makes. My dermatologist encouraged me to continue your using tretinoin in some form if not cureology, because she has noticed a difference in her patient's skin thickness that have used it for years versus ones that have not. She said the ones that have used it for years don't have thin crepey skin. They have nice firm supple skin even up into their seventies and eighties.
Long time vitamin c user here (as well as began using tretinoin 30 years ago but stopped about 5 years ago), in my early 60s with very good skin (genes and good skincare). I have tried them all, but recently gave a vitamin c ester a try, because I felt I was in an ascorbic acid "slump". Well, tetrahexyldecyl (a C ester) really got things moving again, melasma seemed to fade in a few short weeks! Also, I found a retinaldehyde to begin acclimating my skin to start using tretinoin again and wow, I am amazed! Retinols, far more prevalent in cosmeceuticals, don't hold a candle to retinals (with an A), with the latter only requiring one step to convert as opposed to two steps for the former. Between the two - vitamin C ester and retinaldehyde - my skin is looking better than it has in ages! Soon enough (a few months) I'll probably be able to get back to good old tretinoin as well! So if anyone else is in an ascorbic acid slump, try a c ester - tetrahexyldecyl seems to be doing wonders for me. And if tretinoin is too strong or irritating to you, find a product containing retinal (retinaldehyde) and use it, like me you might be amazed!
I am 55 and follow both your day and night skin care routine but I don't think my neck and face are as sensitive as yours tends to be. I know it doesn't work for you, but if you were able to work a glycolic acid leave-on serum into your routine - where would you insert it...day or night, between which products and how often?
Hi Angie, I can never thank you enough for finding and telling me about the Dr Bremmer vit C product.... It was great find, and I'm now on my 2nd bottle. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤
I am 41 (in the UK) and I have prescription only strength azelaic acid on prescription from my GP for acne and rosacea. It is literally the ONLY thing I've seen that can visibly reduce the size of spots in a few hours AND for rosacea, you can actually see a line if you don't blend it out, where your skin looks normal vs the red of your rosacea. Its magic. I alternate between 20% cream and 15% gel xXx 👍😎💜💜💜💜
I started Curology because of you. I wanted to try it out, but it was not offered at first where I lived and forgot all about it till I watched you talk about it. I received my 1st month trail and have not stopped. So happy and had no issues using it. So thank you for the reminder!
If you are in Canada you cannot buy an azaleic acid product as it is considered a "schedule" medication, meaning it requires a prescription. So even companies like The Ordinary, which is based in Canada, cannot sell their azaleic acid in Canada. You may be able to find it as part of certain products (assuming Health Canada hasn't flagged them), but not as a stand alone product. Also, anyone interested in tretinoin should ask their GP or dermatologist about a prescription as you can get a .025% for around $4.00 a tube (if you have coverage), which is much cheaper and convenient than going through Curology. You might also ask a dermatologist about a prescription that allows you to incorporate azaleic acid, which may also be cheaper. A compounding pharmacy could probably create a "custom" blend cream if you obtain a prescription. If you have specific skin concerns I think it is wiser to consult in person with a doctor as opposed to trusting an online questionnaire.
Good morning ☀️ Great video. Just a thought from a master esthetician of over thirty years. I’m 54. As I have said before I don’t do anything invasive to my skin and I don’t wear foundation or concealer. So just another kind opinion. We see clients come in with redness and peeling around their nose or chin and each time the client is wearing foundation. The moment we take them off of foundation the redness begins to go away. I believe e it’s fungus. I have said this before, we believe foundation is the number one cause of acne and aging besides the sun. We have natural bacteria and fungus always on our skin and it’s when we activate it that we have an issue. Just a thought for those of you that feel you must cover up your skin. Also please be mindful of The Ordinary, it’s a one bottle one SYNTHETIC ingredient product and we are seeing so many issue on new clients coming in for help. You almost have to be a chemist to use it and the fact it isn’t natural is not good for anyone’s skin. You get what you pay for. Products you use on your skin are so important and so many skin care companies do not give their full list of ingredients or are not even owned by the original founders anymore, but my companies that don’t manufacture it as the founders had started. I know it’s hard to believe but it’s a real issue. Angie your a lovely lady and I love your getting so many people to want to be their best. Hope you don’t mind my comments and I hope you know they are always said with respect and hopefully just another added benefit to everyone out there. 🍑Lisa Peaches Skin Care
Angie, I was the one who was SO worried about being bamboozled by Curology. But guess what????? I LOVE IT and it IS STRONG!!!!!! It's amazing, IF they are sure to send me exactly only what I requested: Same Treatment, but without the two other products! The cleanser is SO strong, gave me fever blisters all over. And the moisturizer is VERY Heavy!!!!!! Don't need. And I can't use my Vit C, when using treatment every night! I'm sure I need to work up to this. Thank you for telling me what you did!!! I hope to be a solid long time member. The price IS great, for Now. Danna
Omg within DAYS of starting my Curology tretinoin formula I could see a huge improvement. I could not be happier. So it can be noticeable early on. I am so excited to see even more positive evolution in my skin. I’m now doing your full am and pm routine and OMG my only regret is not starting sooner! I’m 47 and now I don’t look awful without make up. 😊
Have watched your chanel for a few years now and am always impressed by your information. Just a quick point about redness across the nose and cheeks: I've read that this may also be a symptom of Lupus and thought it worth mentioning that any pronounced redness should probably be checked with one's doctor just to rule out that possibility. Thanks again for your great videos and please keep posting! xx
I just love your skincare videos..even though I've seem them all. I never tire of hearing you talk about the ingredients you've researched and used and what impact they have. Thanks for all the research and experimenting you do and share with us. You've made a big impact on so many of us who have seen what good skincare can do. XXOO❤
Hi Angie, could you please do a video on what serums, acids, etc to use and not use together? It gets very confusing with all the info and products out there to mix or not mix together. Thank you 💖
Just signed up for the curology..can't wait!! Although I am currently using this type of formula with apostrophe I have been wanting to add azelaic acid in with it as well and I am so stoked to hear about all your success with it so I am changing because of you.💜
The problem of melasma was mentioned at one point in the video. It is really something that can ruin the complexion and in my opinion hardly possible to get rid of completely. A seperate segment for skincare fighting with melasma would be awesome. I use high quality sunscreens and Timeless Vit. C but it seems like an uphill battle most of the time.
I am currently using Curology and my treatment plan is Tretinoin 0.012%, Azelaic Acid 5%, & Niacinamide 4%. I also use a Vitamin C serum from Cerave in the morning followed by a Cerave Moisturizing Cream and sunscreen!
I’ve been using 0.1 Tretinoin for years and found it becomes ineffective with long term use. My dermatologist added Tazarotene 0.1 % to my skin care regimen and it has made all the difference.. My skin is resilient. I use both products at night with no peeling, dryness, etc. I have excessively oily skin and take spirolactone to help with that. I also have adult hormonal acne and take doxycycline for that. I tried the Curology when Angie started it, but found even with the highest dose of clindamycin, it broke me out horrible.
ROCK ON! Heavy Acid girl here too! : ) Always learning so much from your in-depth review and chemist dad's daughter gene. Totally won the skin care lottery once I began following you! The timeless promo code automatically fills in for me...I have used it that much! Thanks doll baby! Completely Intrigued by your newest in the H&F lineup, Azelaic. And still envy...on Curology. Would love to have the convenient option to utilize the Curology option. My US state has not yet loosened the reigns, so I still have to see a white coat in person. ~ Thanks again Angie! Rock ON!
I have melasma and I was using TRILuma and it faded it a lot. My dermatologist then gave me Retin-A Micro .08% to use at night and Azelaic acid in the am. I use it after my timeless vitamin c. So far so good on keeping melasma under control. Of course sunscreen is my BFF. ☺️
I love acids. I'm 43 I even use the salicylic acne face wash for teenagers to unclog my pores, and keep blemishes at bay. I showed this video to my Mom. She wants to look younger, and use these products, but is lazy and doesn't want to do the research. And she doesn't want to listen to me either bc I'm just a brat that doesn't know anything, haha. So I said ok, here's a great video from Angie. She loves you. She'll listen to you, but not me! : ) This video was perfect! Thank you.
Great video, as usual!))) love it ❤️😄 I’m 27 years old, but Angie’s channel is my favorite skincare channel ever))) best of the best 👍🏻☺️ I became so educated on skincare in the past couple of years, thanks to Angie 🙌🏻🙏🏻😍 I’m very grateful ❤️
Angie's catching up to you in age😄 (catching 'back' to you?) Honestly, I am shocked everytime I see another of her more recent vids...like THIS one...I mean what IS this...some sort of Benjamin Button syndrome? 😂
I have finally hit on the fact that glycolic acid really keeps my skin at it's best. I ran out over quarantine and I had NEW hyperpigmentation crop up in that time. 😩 So horrifying. So ran out and got the quickest glycolic acid serum I could find and went up to spf 70 Australian Gold. Slowly improving. This in addition to tretinoin and a vitamin c nighttime mask on occasion. AHA and lactic acid, nothing. Retinol has caused breakouts which I do not have with Tretinoin. I'm still oily at age 57. I do think my acid mantle has been a big issues for me overall.
Fantastic video on acids for your face information! The more I hear about them, the more I understand and remember. Thank you! While you were talking, I was noticing how beautiful your skin, eyes, eyebrows, hair....everything looked. You look prettier today than when you first started your channel. It’s like you are reversing your aging, Angie! Take care and see you next time. XO~Maria
I started your skin care regimen in January. I had been using Retin A and changed to Curology bc it is so convenient. I have noticed improvement in my skin...yay...so will keep on doing these things. Hubs did laugh when he saw all the potions and lotions lined up...but even he sees the improvement in my skin. Enjoy your videos, Angie!
I have been using Curology since you recommended it 2 years ago. The funny thing is when I asked for .012 they said they don't have that percentage only 0.09 then 0.14. I told them about your percentage and they said oh that's a special mixture. Didn't understand that at all. I wasn't comfortable going to that big of a jump so I'm still at 0.09. I've also used Timeless for years but now I'm going to try to DIY. It's inexpensive to make and you can use it very liberally all over so I don't think I will miss the +E + Ferulic Acid, but I maybe wrong, we will see. I also just made H.A. So far so good.
Hi Angie, totally off topic but how about you do a grocery haul. I think it’d be pretty interesting. You’ve mentioned you have your cereal for breakfast and salads for lunch but how often are you now stocking up on groceries since life change. I think your healthy options could be quite motivating. Thanks!
I appreciate you doing all this research because it’s honestly very complicated and to be brutally honest, boring! My take home message is...let curology figure out what I need. Once my current products run out I’ll give it a try.
I've gotten brown freckles on my face & body (not even going out in the sun & also with using sunscreens) from the retinoids, so I've switched to trying the acids, but a little confused about them and I know when I get confused about skincare treatments I can always come to your channel. Thanks Angie this was very informative. The freckles did go away after I stopped using any of the retinols.
Angie....thank you for this video. I have been using retinol for about 6 yrs and recently purchased, based on your recommendation, Timeless Vitamin C serum. I have been using it at night by itself because I wasn't sure how to layer. Your video suggested using in the morning before moisturizer and wow! My makeup went on much smoother and my face looked brighter! Thank you for all the information you share....it makes a difference that you back up it up with fact. Oh, and thank you for the Paula's Choice recommendation....it works wonders
Can you do a video on body lotions for aging skin. I have skin tags, brown spots etc., and feeling a need for a good body lotion for my sun damaged 60 year old skin.
sue, ugh. I have skin tags and keratoses and I feel your pain. My dermatologist lovingly told me that it’s due to age. I’m 62 and wanted to both scream and laugh when she said that. 😱. Angie has a great body lotion so maybe she will let you know. It’s in one of her recent videos. Sorry. I only remember that it starts with “A.” I just looked it up. It’s Alpha Skin Care Renewal body lotion with 12% glycolic acid. I believe it’s in Angie’s Amazon shop under the heading “body skin care.” Just click on her link and it will link you to it on Amazon. I’m about to order it myself. Fingers crossed!
Skin tags can be removed easily. My regular doctor just cut them off. No problem. My dermatologist removed some brown spots on my body by freezing them. It may take a couple of times but it worked for me and it wasn’t that expensive.
janfromseattle I’ve been using that Alpha skin lotion on my arms for a year now and don’t see any difference with skin texture or dark spots...was hoping it would have worked.
I found this video to be so helpful in knowing what to use based on what my personal skin care goals are. Did you by chance put together a cheat sheet with this information included? You know, don't want to re-create the wheel if you have already made it available. I love that your video's are all evidenced based recommendations. I thank you, and your brilliant Dad for helping in creating your content. ❤️
One of your best shows EVER! Thank you for demystifying acids. Now I understand the purpose of each acid and I am more motivated to keep them going. Here is one HA suggestion...Sometimes I wake up with a dehydrated face, so I give myself a special treat while I drink my coffee. I put a nice coat of Neutrogena Hydro Boost gel-cream, then seal it with CeraVe PM lotion. Although it is not a long-term treatment, it plumps up my skin and gives me confidence as I plan out my day. THANKS AGAIN!
Angie, when thinking about what skincare and make-up to buy, I find myself wondering what you’d say, and ultimately buy whatever you recommend. My arsenal of products is a shrine to “what Angie says”. Thank you 😊 🙏🏼
Love your videos! I feel like I've learned so much from you. I'm 58 and have been wanting to try Curology for awhile now and finally pulled that trigger and it's been shipped, yay!! Can't wait to get started, thanks for all the info and keep the videos coming!
Hi Angie... thanks to your thoroughly researched & informative videos I use 3 products every day now plus sunscreen and I can definitely see a difference. I started with The Ordinary Buffet, added the Inkey List Q10 two months ago and finally added Timeless Vitamin C last month. I get microdermabrasion and a Salicylic acid peel once a month, which has helped dramatically reduce my roseacea. I also use CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser and both of their facial moisturizers (AM & PM). The best news is that I have had clean checkups with my dermatologist the last two visits (no cryotherapy for actinic keratosis). As a melanoma survivor this is fabulous news! 😍😎💗
The Ordinary azelaic acid has helped clear pesky little closed comedones/milia on my cheeks after using it for 6 weeks. The Paulas Choice irritated my skin due to the salicylic acid. Your skin and makeup look beautiful, Angie!
Clindamycin is an antibiotic, i wouldn't recommend or encourage anyone to be using antibiotics on the regular if it isnt needed, it's combined with tretinoin for acne sufferers, it will have no effect for anti-aging so stick with retinols, retinals or retinaldehydes etc you will achieve the same results without compromising antibiotics future use, esp when it's only for aesthetics
Hi- Like others here I have watched you for a long time.... I have concern regarding my eyelids and the creppiness they have.. I am 64 years young and it drives me crazy. Any thoughts on a product to try??? Thank you...
Thanks for the educational video. I love to "understand" why I'm doing what I'm doing. I would LOVE to see a 7 year update on your RetinA results. I am now going on 3 1/2 years of usage and loving what I see!
I trust your advice as I have been following you for years and I see how you focus on the science vs. product hype. I have been using the Curology at .02% Tretinoin, 4% niacinamide, and Azelaic at 5%. Curology started me at .01% until I became disgruntled by the lack of results. I feel the same way with the 0.02% they gave me after I related my concerns. Given your relationship with the company would you recommend I ask for at least 0.06% or even higher? I am 57 years old with melasma and would really like to see some results. Your thoughts?
Hi Idella. I started curology at 0.017 tretinoin. After 2 months I reached out to see if they could bump the strength up to 0.025 (I assumed this was the next step in strength) but they said they don’t offer that and that the next step up would be 0.05. I’m in the US, I wonder if the available strengths are different depending on location?
The goal with Tretinoin is to ease in slowly to avoid irritation so starting at a lower percentage is great because it's still doing great things for your skin. As I said, it takes months to see a difference with tretinoin so be patient. If you're not having any irritation then it's time to bump up. Your Curology provider can guide you as to which percentage the offer with your mix that you can go up to.
I recently started Curology too. They started me out at the 0.01% level of tretinoin but before the end of the first month I requested a bump up and they increased me to 0.02% and said they would bump it up again if I did well and wanted to increase the tretinoin again. I’m in the US so I know you can get the 0.02%.
Same! I just started following angie since covid. And I love every video. Learned soooo much. I am on curology too and they also gave me .01%. Have asked them to bump it up in my next shipment. They said they would. Assuming I don’t have irritation. Which I don’t. I also have melasma too :(
Hi Angie!! I love your videos! I discovered you during the quarantine and I’ve been hooked ever since. I appreciate the knowledge that you share with everyone. I always look forward to seeing what’s in your next video! Have a great weekend!!
HotandFlashy Hi Angie, per your recommendation I contacted Curology to get a higher tretinoin prescription. Do you anyway anything about tranexamic acid? Not sure why they changed azelaic for tranexamic .
Silver Fish I habe been using the THD and really enjoy it. There are some experts now saying it is a better form of vitamin C and it would be interesting to get Angies feedback
IMHO the vitamin c esters aren't worth my time or money... much like the difference between tretinoin and retinol, THD needs to be converted by your skin into Ascorbic Acid and it's unclear if that actually happens. And if you're using THD hoping it converts into Ascorbic Acid, why not just use Ascorbic acid?
HotandFlashy you make a great point, thank you Angie. I have been enjoying my THD, but might just go back to ascorbic acid once finished, which is also a lot cheaper
Hi Angie, I started Curology in March and I love it. I use it every other day. How long do you wait before you bump up the strength of tretinoin? Thanks!
Hi! I'm not Angie, however I'm on Curology also! I asked for an increase before my trial bottle was empty. I started March of '19, on .009%, and I'm now on .06%. If you want an increase, do a consult, send in the required 3 pictures, and tell your provider your skin has adjusted well and you'd like an increase. Good luck!
Same with me. I had them bump mine up to 0.2% after my trial. I think I’m going to ask for brighter on. My next bottle as my skin can handle it. I have seen a difference in my skin for the first time in 20 years. I’m 48 years old
Angie, as usual, you presented quite an informative video. Do you by chance have this lesson in a newsletter format? I found this lesson on line, but I only had to option to share it in Pinterest. I would love to have a printed copy of this.
Angie I use the Ordinary 5% HA and the Ordinary granactive retinoid 5%. I have the Timeless vitamin C serum, the Timeless matrixyl synthe 6 serum and the Timeless Co Q10 serum. I have the CeraVe p.m. moisturizing lotion and Oil of Olay Regenerist. All of the things that I've senior recommend and use. The hardest thing for me is to figure out when I use these products and how to layer them in the morning and night. If you could help me with that that would be great. I'm 58 years old, have some sun damage and just trying to take better care of my skin as I age. PS I love your videos they've been so helpful. I've watched hours upon hours of them. Oh and lastly I was considering getting the paulist choice acid that you just talked about in your video that also includes salicylic acid oh, I forget the other acid you said was in it. But if I get that as well I'm not sure when do you use that either or how to layer it with the other products I have which I listed above. Thank you in advance for any comments and or help. Shari Harms
Hi Angie :) so i always have a hard time layering my skincare. I use the timeless vitamin C, but idk when to add my hyaluronic acid. What do you recommend?
Thank you so much Angie for doing your videos. They're always so helpful and enjoyable to watch. I feel like you're a friend, even though we've never met. Thanks again for helping us all take care of ourselves, and try to be the best version of ourselves; inside/out.
I’ve just started watching and I’ll continue the video and then comment some more! Thanks to you Angie, my skin looks amazing! I started Curology in February 2019 and my skin’s age is reversing! I started at the very lowest strength and am now up to the maximum strength because my skin has done so well! I have the cocktail of Trentinoin, Azelaic acid and Niacinamide. Thanks a million dear Angie! 😘😘😘
Hi Jan! I started Curology in February as well. The have me on Tretinonion, Tranexamic acid, and Niacinamide. Do you feel the Azelaic acid is helping with facial redness or post inflammatory red marks? Thank you!
Brittany, they always had me on this blend as I don’t have any redness just hyperpigmentation and it’s lightened those for me so well. My Curology provider is wonderful. A week before my two-month bottle is due to be formulated, I take photos and start a dialogue with her. I’ve been with her all along and she can tell what’s best for me by the photos I send her. Hope that helps!
Thank goodness for Ordinary skincare. It allows us to take care of ourselves without going broke. I heard the Deciem which owns Ordinary went into partnership with Estee Lauder. Hope that they don't brainstorm ways to increase the price.

... and EU as well please!!! 😂
I use the Ordinary's Peeling Solution once a week and I love it. Once a week is enough for me to keep my skin looking good and it's like getting brand new skin. In fact, most of my skin care is on your recommendations, Angie. Thank you!
Hi Angie - SORRY for the long text! 😮 Just wanted to say that you ALWAYS look amazing but in this video you look extra amazing. Also, love the hair today - the color, cut, length and flatter style are especially flattering and youthful, to my eye anyway. You’re seriously the “youngest” looking in this video that I think I’ve ever seen you look. Which is only important NOT from a value-as-a-human-being, sexist “women have to look young and pretty or else” perspective but from a professional one in that you’re the actual living, practicing proof of what you teach on your channel. Can’t thank you enough for your learning what you have and practicing it EVERY DAY and teaching by example and this channel. With today’s health science, skincare, and makeup technology, yes we CAN reverse age our skin and bodies (and WITHOUT a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, staff, and bank acccount) and this is how. Pure and simple. (Well, maybe not quite “simple” 😁 but it would be SO much harder, heck almost impossible, without you). So Super helpful.
Also, looks are only so important but on the other hand there are so many valuable practical, confidence and self care (even career) reasons why maintaining, and improving once’s looks ARE important - for men AND women but anyone with half a brain knows that women have it a lot harder than the men to figure out how and then actually practice, maintain and improve / aka keep on top of.
I’m so glad you’ve made this channel and do this real, serious, important, and yes, HARD work. You’re the only beauty vlogger worth my paying attention to (except I do watch Wayne Goss occasionally - for even MORE makeup product news and techniques in general - but even his channel is very secondary for me compared to yours).
Your videos save the rest of us a TON of time and money in trying to figure out what the heck to actually BUY and use in a very confusing marketplace of millions of options, products and “information”. NONE of this “stuff” is simple to understand much less know how to use for the results we want. But YOU make it simple for US. Lots of love and a million thanks for all you do. 😁❤️💕
Also, re: your video updating us with your divorce: have thought of you often regarding that. Congratulations for being a responsible adult and doing what you know was right / the best for you. Wishing you all the best in thriving and living the life you need and want. I often think of your words and remember to aim in my own life for those feelings of “lightness and hope” that we all need. 🙂
Angie, every time I watch one of your videos I find myself thinking “wow she’s so beautiful!” - like, in a totally non creepy way! Lol
Thanks Angie for making me 'skincare smarter'!! Have a great weekend xoxo
I will have to watch this again and take some notes. I love all the good information. 💕

It should have been divided into 2 videos. Would have been nice to have the facts without so many products thrown at us.
I took notes😉
I LOVE Curology. I'm in my 4th month. No one can separate me from my Curology prescription!!!
Thank you for introducing me to Timeless- that Vit C is LIFE CHANGING!
omg I tried it as well and love it! but it is sooo expensive and didn't get that much in the bottle :( will try the Dr Brenner one which is less than $20 and see if i get the same effect.
I TRIED TIMELESS THROUGHOUT ENTIRE BOTTLE ALL WHILE BURNING MY FACE OFF. FINALLY... Found Good Molecules Vit C L-Ascorbic POWDER that i mix in with GM Super Peptides liquidy lotion. Use every day while using Tretinoin every night. So far I only use The Ordinary's Peel once per week, but my face is GORGEOUS!!! Skin Glows all over!!! These have been my HG products and so so cheap!!!!! I have Not used my facial Glycolic lotion YET nor incorporated any other products. But will slowly re-introduce them each.
@@loric3501 Timeless is expensive?
@@nikapak66 well the 1oz bottle is $25 vs 4oz which is $70!!!....i bought the 1oz bottle and just use it sparingly
I could watch you every day, Angie. And your videos fly by like the best television shows, the ones where you go, wait, that was supposed to be an hour, and it felt like 15 minutes! Thank you so much for being so real + authentic. I trust you to the moon!
Wow! I am now so addicted to Angie and Hot and Flashy on TH-cam. I watch your videos every night when I eat dinner. I’m 67 but am told I don’t look it. I still wear pink in my hair! I have bought almost your entire skincare regimen and am sticking to it. I want to have my face CO2 lasered but can’t afford it right now. So I’m taking this route. Thank you Angie! You’re great!
The one good thing about lockdown during this whole covid thing. I was binge watching your videos. You’re so knowledgeable. I learned so much. Not just about skin care but makeup application. All the different products. Now I wonder if it’s Tuesday or Friday. Can you do a video on the different bronzers. Think I may have seen one. I’ll have to check again. Or what I really need is understanding finding the right foundation color. What my undertone is. I’ve read a lot about it. But if you could show us visually that would be helpful!!!
I know...Binge watching Angie...I thought I was the only one 😆 my friends are binge watching Netflix, and I'm watching Hot & Flashy😂 needless to say, I am lightyears ahead in fashion & beauty for our age group! About finding whether you are cool, neutral or warm undertoned. Look at the vein color on your wrist/inside arm. If your veins have a greenish hue, that's 'warm', believe it or not. Purple hued veins are 'cool', and blue toned veins are neutral....something I've learned from Angie, and I do take notes! About the self-tanning video...yes there is one. You can go to Angie's Hot & Flashy website and probably find it there. I just watched it yesterday...very informative. Didn't take notes bc I figure I'll wait till my skin is better primed, roned, and exfoliated before I attempt self-tanning. I just started using Curology, (learned about it from Angie, of course), after years of using Paula's Choice 1% Retinol, thinking I was using a
Retin-A product....der! ...I am actually kicking myself for not paying close attention to the difference BTW an OTC retinol product and the real deal, i.e., tretinoin. I'm spending much leas on Curology's tretinoin personalized formula than I was spending on Paula Choice OTC retinol. Good luck with your skincare/make-up goals - you've come to the right place - Angie is the best, IMO 🤗
Would be nice if she got back to makeup!! I'm not into the fashion, and patio thing. I came here needing makeup help.
Good idea or if anyone can link us to one of the great past videos regarding this, it would be good, as well. It's likely she already covered this in 1 or 2 other videos over the past 7 Years. Great idea, Barbara Fairbanks👍
I've bought Curology around the time you started recommending it. My skin was starting to get dull and was not as smooth as it used to be. I love the difference it makes. My dermatologist encouraged me to continue your using tretinoin in some form if not cureology, because she has noticed a difference in her patient's skin thickness that have used it for years versus ones that have not. She said the ones that have used it for years don't have thin crepey skin. They have nice firm supple skin even up into their seventies and eighties.
A fun Friday night game!!! Drink every time Angie says acid! 😂 Also, my skin has never looked better following your regimen!!!
That's hilarious. I lost count but I bet you are feeling pretty good by now.
Long time vitamin c user here (as well as began using tretinoin 30 years ago but stopped about 5 years ago), in my early 60s with very good skin (genes and good skincare). I have tried them all, but recently gave a vitamin c ester a try, because I felt I was in an ascorbic acid "slump". Well, tetrahexyldecyl (a C ester) really got things moving again, melasma seemed to fade in a few short weeks! Also, I found a retinaldehyde to begin acclimating my skin to start using tretinoin again and wow, I am amazed! Retinols, far more prevalent in cosmeceuticals, don't hold a candle to retinals (with an A), with the latter only requiring one step to convert as opposed to two steps for the former. Between the two - vitamin C ester and retinaldehyde - my skin is looking better than it has in ages! Soon enough (a few months) I'll probably be able to get back to good old tretinoin as well! So if anyone else is in an ascorbic acid slump, try a c ester - tetrahexyldecyl seems to be doing wonders for me. And if tretinoin is too strong or irritating to you, find a product containing retinal (retinaldehyde) and use it, like me you might be amazed!
Please let me know how to get these products. Thanks
I am 55 and follow both your day and night skin care routine but I don't think my neck and face are as sensitive as yours tends to be. I know it doesn't work for you, but if you were able to work a glycolic acid leave-on serum into your routine - where would you insert it...day or night, between which products and how often?
Hi Angie, I can never thank you enough for finding and telling me about the Dr Bremmer vit C product.... It was great find, and I'm now on my 2nd bottle. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤
I love that u tell ur viewers the cheaper versions of the most expensive products u seem so real.n genuine ..and I will def trust ur judgment
I am 41 (in the UK) and I have prescription only strength azelaic acid on prescription from my GP for acne and rosacea. It is literally the ONLY thing I've seen that can visibly reduce the size of spots in a few hours AND for rosacea, you can actually see a line if you don't blend it out, where your skin looks normal vs the red of your rosacea. Its magic. I alternate between 20% cream and 15% gel xXx 👍😎💜💜💜💜
I started Curology because of you. I wanted to try it out, but it was not offered at first where I lived and forgot all about it till I watched you talk about it. I received my 1st month trail and have not stopped. So happy and had no issues using it. So thank you for the reminder!
Been using Curology for 4 years. Before I found your channel. It has totally changed my complexion.
If you are in Canada you cannot buy an azaleic acid product as it is considered a "schedule" medication, meaning it requires a prescription. So even companies like The Ordinary, which is based in Canada, cannot sell their azaleic acid in Canada. You may be able to find it as part of certain products (assuming Health Canada hasn't flagged them), but not as a stand alone product. Also, anyone interested in tretinoin should ask their GP or dermatologist about a prescription as you can get a .025% for around $4.00 a tube (if you have coverage), which is much cheaper and convenient than going through Curology. You might also ask a dermatologist about a prescription that allows you to incorporate azaleic acid, which may also be cheaper. A compounding pharmacy could probably create a "custom" blend cream if you obtain a prescription. If you have specific skin concerns I think it is wiser to consult in person with a doctor as opposed to trusting an online questionnaire.
Good morning ☀️
Great video. Just a thought from a master esthetician of over thirty years. I’m 54. As I have said before I don’t do anything invasive to my skin and I don’t wear foundation or concealer. So just another kind opinion.
We see clients come in with redness and peeling around their nose or chin and each time the client is wearing foundation. The moment we take them off of foundation the redness begins to go away. I believe e it’s fungus. I have said this before, we believe foundation is the number one cause of acne and aging besides the sun. We have natural bacteria and fungus always on our skin and it’s when we activate it that we have an issue. Just a thought for those of you that feel you must cover up your skin.
Also please be mindful of The Ordinary, it’s a one bottle one SYNTHETIC ingredient product and we are seeing so many issue on new clients coming in for help. You almost have to be a chemist to use it and the fact it isn’t natural is not good for anyone’s skin. You get what you pay for.
Products you use on your skin are so important and so many skin care companies do not give their full list of ingredients or are not even owned by the original founders anymore, but my companies that don’t manufacture it as the founders had started. I know it’s hard to believe but it’s a real issue.
Angie your a lovely lady and I love your getting so many people to want to be their best. Hope you don’t mind my comments and I hope you know they are always said with respect and hopefully just another added benefit to everyone out there.
🍑Lisa Peaches Skin Care
Peaches Skin Care I listen to several beauty chemist’ podcasts and they all have nothing but good things to say about The Ordinary?
Angie, I was the one who was SO worried about being bamboozled by Curology. But guess what????? I LOVE IT and it IS STRONG!!!!!! It's amazing, IF they are sure to send me exactly only what I requested: Same Treatment, but without the two other products! The cleanser is SO strong, gave me fever blisters all over. And the moisturizer is VERY Heavy!!!!!! Don't need. And I can't use my Vit C, when using treatment every night! I'm sure I need to work up to this. Thank you for telling me what you did!!! I hope to be a solid long time member. The price IS great, for Now. Danna
Omg within DAYS of starting my Curology tretinoin formula I could see a huge improvement. I could not be happier. So it can be noticeable early on. I am so excited to see even more positive evolution in my skin. I’m now doing your full am and pm routine and OMG my only regret is not starting sooner! I’m 47 and now I don’t look awful without make up. 😊
We are so lucky to have you around. 🙂 Thank you for the review.
I would really love to see a vlog on the order of applying the serums to your skin, how do you know what should go first, etc?
She does have a video on serums. Also, there is a printable PDF on her hot and flashy blog.
Just use the lighter, water based ones first. Oils, then creams and sunscreen.
Thanks for doing the research Angie. Most of these acids are in my skincare routine because of you! My skin is improving all the time! Your the best❤😊
Have watched your chanel for a few years now and am always impressed by your information. Just a quick point about redness across the nose and cheeks: I've read that this may also be a symptom of Lupus and thought it worth mentioning that any pronounced redness should probably be checked with one's doctor just to rule out that possibility. Thanks again for your great videos and please keep posting! xx
JANE BRUTON, GREAT POINT!
I just love your skincare videos..even though I've seem them all. I never tire of hearing you talk about the ingredients you've researched and used and what impact they have. Thanks for all the research and experimenting you do and share with us. You've made a big impact on so many of us who have seen what good skincare can do. XXOO❤
Hi Angie, could you please do a video on what serums, acids, etc to use and not use together? It gets very confusing with all the info and products out there to mix or not mix together. Thank you 💖
You look AMAZING! Younger and younger every year. I'm jealous 🤦♀️
Don't be jealous...just keep watching and be a copycat 😆
I’ve been using Curology for two months now and I love it!!!
Just signed up for the curology..can't wait!! Although I am currently using this type of formula with apostrophe I have been wanting to add azelaic acid in with it as well and I am so stoked to hear about all your success with it so I am changing because of you.💜
The problem of melasma was mentioned at one point in the video. It is really something that can ruin the complexion and in my opinion hardly possible to get rid of completely. A seperate segment for skincare fighting with melasma would be awesome. I use high quality sunscreens and Timeless Vit. C but it seems like an uphill battle most of the time.
Very informative! PC 4% Salacylic Acid & her PC 10% Azelaic Acid Booster have been game changers for my skin.
Love your outfit Angie, as well as your choice of jewelry! You look like a million bucks!
I signed up for Curology because of your videos 😊 I’m excited to see how it transforms my 40+ skin
I appreciate the detail you always go into on products and procedures I need that to learn... Thanks Angie
I am currently using Curology and my treatment plan is Tretinoin
0.012%, Azelaic Acid 5%, & Niacinamide 4%. I also use a Vitamin C serum from Cerave in the morning followed by a Cerave Moisturizing Cream and sunscreen!
I’ve been using 0.1 Tretinoin for years and found it becomes ineffective with long term use. My dermatologist added Tazarotene 0.1 % to my skin care regimen and it has made all the difference.. My skin is resilient. I use both products at night with no peeling, dryness, etc. I have excessively oily skin and take spirolactone to help with that. I also have adult hormonal acne and take doxycycline for that. I tried the Curology when Angie started it, but found even with the highest dose of clindamycin, it broke me out horrible.
I feel so fortunate, none of the acids irritate my skin. 🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️
I hope you have a safe and happy weekend Angie.💜
ROCK ON! Heavy Acid girl here too! : ) Always learning so much from your in-depth review and chemist dad's daughter gene. Totally won the skin care lottery once I began following you! The timeless promo code automatically fills in for me...I have used it that much! Thanks doll baby! Completely Intrigued by your newest in the H&F lineup, Azelaic. And still envy...on Curology. Would love to have the convenient option to utilize the Curology option. My US state has not yet loosened the reigns, so I still have to see a white coat in person. ~ Thanks again Angie! Rock ON!
I started Curology a week ago. I learned about it on your channel. So far, so good. I've started off every other night.
I have melasma and I was using TRILuma and it faded it a lot. My dermatologist then gave me Retin-A Micro .08% to use at night and Azelaic acid in the am. I use it after my timeless vitamin c. So far so good on keeping melasma under control. Of course sunscreen is my BFF. ☺️
I love acids. I'm 43 I even use the salicylic acne face wash for teenagers to unclog my pores, and keep blemishes at bay. I showed this video to my Mom. She wants to look younger, and use these products, but is lazy and doesn't want to do the research. And she doesn't want to listen to me either bc I'm just a brat that doesn't know anything, haha. So I said ok, here's a great video from Angie. She loves you. She'll listen to you, but not me! : ) This video was perfect! Thank you.
Great video, as usual!))) love it ❤️😄 I’m 27 years old, but Angie’s channel is my favorite skincare channel ever))) best of the best 👍🏻☺️ I became so educated on skincare in the past couple of years, thanks to Angie 🙌🏻🙏🏻😍 I’m very grateful ❤️
Check out Dr Dray she is a dermatologist. Another great channel.
Angie's catching up to you in age😄 (catching 'back' to you?) Honestly, I am shocked everytime I see another of her more recent vids...like THIS one...I mean what IS this...some sort of Benjamin Button syndrome? 😂
I have finally hit on the fact that glycolic acid really keeps my skin at it's best. I ran out over quarantine and I had NEW hyperpigmentation crop up in that time. 😩 So horrifying. So ran out and got the quickest glycolic acid serum I could find and went up to spf 70 Australian Gold. Slowly improving. This in addition to tretinoin and a vitamin c nighttime mask on occasion. AHA and lactic acid, nothing. Retinol has caused breakouts which I do not have with Tretinoin. I'm still oily at age 57. I do think my acid mantle has been a big issues for me overall.
Great video!! Can you please do an updated morning and night skincare routine? I’d like to see which acids you use when, etc.
Beautiful lady ..thank you for being a voice for aging women who want to look good ..not 25 bit just good in ur own skin..you are so gorgeous ❤
Would love to try Curology, but unfortunately it is not available in Canada. Thanks for all the great advice you give! Love your videos!
This! I was hoping as an ambassador, Angie could make it happen!
It's not available in South Africa either😔
Fantastic video on acids for your face information! The more I hear about them, the more I understand and remember. Thank you!
While you were talking, I was noticing how beautiful your skin, eyes, eyebrows, hair....everything looked. You look prettier today than when you first started your channel. It’s like you are reversing your aging, Angie!
Take care and see you next time. XO~Maria
I started your skin care regimen in January. I had been using Retin A and changed to Curology bc it is so convenient. I have noticed improvement in my skin...yay...so will keep on doing these things. Hubs did laugh when he saw all the potions and lotions lined up...but even he sees the improvement in my skin. Enjoy your videos, Angie!
I have been using Curology since you recommended it 2 years ago. The funny thing is when I asked for .012 they said they don't have that percentage only 0.09 then 0.14. I told them about your percentage and they said oh that's a special mixture. Didn't understand that at all. I wasn't comfortable going to that big of a jump so I'm still at 0.09. I've also used Timeless for years but now I'm going to try to DIY. It's inexpensive to make and you can use it very liberally all over so I don't think I will miss the +E + Ferulic Acid, but I maybe wrong, we will see. I also just made H.A. So far so good.
Hi Angie, totally off topic but how about you do a grocery haul. I think it’d be pretty interesting. You’ve mentioned you have your cereal for breakfast and salads for lunch but how often are you now stocking up on groceries since life change. I think your healthy options could be quite motivating. Thanks!
I appreciate you doing all this research because it’s honestly very complicated and to be brutally honest, boring! My take home message is...let curology figure out what I need. Once my current products run out I’ll give it a try.
I've gotten brown freckles on my face & body (not even going out in the sun & also with using sunscreens) from the retinoids, so I've switched to trying the acids, but a little confused about them and I know when I get confused about skincare treatments I can always come to your channel. Thanks Angie this was very informative. The freckles did go away after I stopped using any of the retinols.
Love my acids! I used AHA 3 x a week and am so grateful you turned me on to Retinoic acid- it has made such a difference in my skin!
Hi! Can you please do a video addressing caring for the skin around the eyes? It seems to be the place I need the most help. Thank you so much.
Already done: th-cam.com/video/rbn3tx-MnQc/w-d-xo.html
@@AngieHotandFlashy Thank you. 😊
Angie....thank you for this video. I have been using retinol for about 6 yrs and recently purchased, based on your recommendation, Timeless Vitamin C serum. I have been using it at night by itself because I wasn't sure how to layer. Your video suggested using in the morning before moisturizer and wow! My makeup went on much smoother and my face looked brighter! Thank you for all the information you share....it makes a difference that you back up it up with fact. Oh, and thank you for the Paula's Choice recommendation....it works wonders
Can you do a video on body lotions for aging skin. I have skin tags, brown spots etc., and feeling a need for a good body lotion for my sun damaged 60 year old skin.
sue, ugh. I have skin tags and keratoses and I feel your pain. My dermatologist lovingly told me that it’s due to age. I’m 62 and wanted to both scream and laugh when she said that. 😱. Angie has a great body lotion so maybe she will let you know. It’s in one of her recent videos. Sorry. I only remember that it starts with “A.” I just looked it up. It’s Alpha Skin Care Renewal body lotion with 12% glycolic acid. I believe it’s in Angie’s Amazon shop under the heading “body skin care.” Just click on her link and it will link you to it on Amazon. I’m about to order it myself. Fingers crossed!
She has a link to it on her Instagram stories right now. I just looked at it too!
She did one recently. Check her playlist.
Skin tags can be removed easily. My regular doctor just cut them off. No problem. My dermatologist removed some brown spots on my body by freezing them. It may take a couple of times but it worked for me and it wasn’t that expensive.
janfromseattle I’ve been using that Alpha skin lotion on my arms for a year now and don’t see any difference with skin texture or dark spots...was hoping it would have worked.
I found this video to be so helpful in knowing what to use based on what my personal skin care goals are. Did you by chance put together a cheat sheet with this information included? You know, don't want to re-create the wheel if you have already made it available. I love that your video's are all evidenced based recommendations. I thank you, and your brilliant Dad for helping in creating your content. ❤️
One of your best shows EVER! Thank you for demystifying acids. Now I understand the purpose of each acid and I am more motivated to keep them going. Here is one HA suggestion...Sometimes I wake up with a dehydrated face, so I give myself a special treat while I drink my coffee. I put a nice coat of Neutrogena Hydro Boost gel-cream, then seal it with CeraVe PM lotion. Although it is not a long-term treatment, it plumps up my skin and gives me confidence as I plan out my day. THANKS AGAIN!
Angie, when thinking about what skincare and make-up to buy, I find myself wondering what you’d say, and ultimately buy whatever you recommend. My arsenal of products is a shrine to “what Angie says”. Thank you 😊 🙏🏼
Love your videos! I feel like I've learned so much from you. I'm 58 and have been wanting to try Curology for awhile now and finally pulled that trigger and it's been shipped, yay!! Can't wait to get started, thanks for all the info and keep the videos coming!
Thank you & I hope you love your Curology!!
Angie, you look amazing. Your skin is truly glowing - maybe it's that azelaic acid! Love your hair straight as well.
Hi Angie... thanks to your thoroughly researched & informative videos I use 3 products every day now plus sunscreen and I can definitely see a difference. I started with The Ordinary Buffet, added the Inkey List Q10 two months ago and finally added Timeless Vitamin C last month. I get microdermabrasion and a Salicylic acid peel once a month, which has helped dramatically reduce my roseacea. I also use CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser and both of their facial moisturizers (AM & PM). The best news is that I have had clean checkups with my dermatologist the last two visits (no cryotherapy for actinic keratosis). As a melanoma survivor this is fabulous news! 😍😎💗
Your skin is Amazing Angie! I’m so glad I found your channel, you make everything so clear and are so knowledgeable!! Thank you xx
Thank you Angie. Your approach in explaining skin care has changed my skin for the better. I am also 57 and appreciate your tips!❤
The Ordinary azelaic acid has helped clear pesky little closed comedones/milia on my cheeks after using it for 6 weeks. The Paulas Choice irritated my skin due to the salicylic acid. Your skin and makeup look beautiful, Angie!
OHHHH...that's why I no longer have milia! Love Curology!!
I know it's off topic but I'd love to see a jewellery collection/styling/storage video. You always have such beautiful necklaces.
Clindamycin is an antibiotic, i wouldn't recommend or encourage anyone to be using antibiotics on the regular if it isnt needed, it's combined with tretinoin for acne sufferers, it will have no effect for anti-aging so stick with retinols, retinals or retinaldehydes etc you will achieve the same results without compromising antibiotics future use, esp when it's only for aesthetics
Hi- Like others here I have watched you for a long time.... I have concern regarding my eyelids and the creppiness they have.. I am 64 years young and it drives me crazy. Any thoughts on a product to try??? Thank you...
Thanks Angie, I bought all the acids and now I follow your routine. See what happens in few months💕
Thanks for the educational video. I love to "understand" why I'm doing what I'm doing. I would LOVE to see a 7 year update on your RetinA results. I am now going on 3 1/2 years of usage and loving what I see!
Hi Angie, my Curology includes niacinimide and Tranexamic Acid for photo damaging. What have you found about TA?
I trust your advice as I have been following you for years and I see how you focus on the science vs. product hype. I have been using the Curology at .02% Tretinoin, 4% niacinamide, and Azelaic at 5%. Curology started me at .01% until I became disgruntled by the lack of results. I feel the same way with the 0.02% they gave me after I related my concerns. Given your relationship with the company would you recommend I ask for at least 0.06% or even higher? I am 57 years old with melasma and would really like to see some results. Your thoughts?
Hi Idella. I started curology at 0.017 tretinoin. After 2 months I reached out to see if they could bump the strength up to 0.025 (I assumed this was the next step in strength) but they said they don’t offer that and that the next step up would be 0.05. I’m in the US, I wonder if the available strengths are different depending on location?
The goal with Tretinoin is to ease in slowly to avoid irritation so starting at a lower percentage is great because it's still doing great things for your skin. As I said, it takes months to see a difference with tretinoin so be patient. If you're not having any irritation then it's time to bump up. Your Curology provider can guide you as to which percentage the offer with your mix that you can go up to.
I recently started Curology too. They started me out at the 0.01% level of tretinoin but before the end of the first month I requested a bump up and they increased me to 0.02% and said they would bump it up again if I did well and wanted to increase the tretinoin again. I’m in the US so I know you can get the 0.02%.
Same! I just started following angie since covid. And I love every video. Learned soooo much. I am on curology too and they also gave me .01%. Have asked them to bump it up in my next shipment. They said they would. Assuming I don’t have irritation. Which I don’t. I also have melasma too :(
@@aliciapaul132 Mine is at .02
Hi Angie!! I love your videos! I discovered you during the quarantine and I’ve been hooked ever since. I appreciate the knowledge that you share with everyone. I always look forward to seeing what’s in your next video! Have a great weekend!!
I have become a informed consumer, thanks Angie!
This is the best video talking about the acids that I ever seen! Thanks Angie! ❤️
Been using the Dr. Brenner's C,E, Ferulic, and LOVE it...especially the price point. Your necklace is gorgeous...opals?
Yes! Dr. Brenner's is good stuff!! I love this necklace too, it's Sea Green Chrysocolla (kind of looks like lighter/more green turquoise)!
On UK Amazon dr. Brenner is £35!!!! Why do we always get ripped off in Europe? 😭
HotandFlashy Hi Angie, per your recommendation I contacted Curology to get a higher tretinoin prescription. Do you anyway anything about tranexamic acid? Not sure why they changed azelaic for tranexamic .
@@runkeliyte You pay more due to high tariff! We get the same thing trying to buy an UK product 😂
I just signed up for Curology. Can’t wait! Thanks Angie!
That was a lot! I do use several of these and continue to learn how to help my skin be the best it can in my late 50’s. Thank you!🙏❤️
Would you ever try a different form of vitamin c for us and give us your feedback? Such as tetrahexydecyl ascorbate?
Claudia Glows why???
Silver Fish I habe been using the THD and really enjoy it. There are some experts now saying it is a better form of vitamin C and it would be interesting to get Angies feedback
IMHO the vitamin c esters aren't worth my time or money... much like the difference between tretinoin and retinol, THD needs to be converted by your skin into Ascorbic Acid and it's unclear if that actually happens. And if you're using THD hoping it converts into Ascorbic Acid, why not just use Ascorbic acid?
HotandFlashy you make a great point, thank you Angie. I have been enjoying my THD, but might just go back to ascorbic acid once finished, which is also a lot cheaper
The necklace with the green stones looks amazing on you!!
Thank you for such great info! You are a great teacher! I've learned so much watching your channel!
Hi Angie, I started Curology in March and I love it. I use it every other day. How long do you wait before you bump up the strength of tretinoin? Thanks!
Hi! I'm not Angie, however I'm on Curology also! I asked for an increase before my trial bottle was empty. I started March of '19, on .009%, and I'm now on .06%. If you want an increase, do a consult, send in the required 3 pictures, and tell your provider your skin has adjusted well and you'd like an increase. Good luck!
I ask to bump mine up every 3 deliveries, they started me extremely low. They don’t seem to mind they always do it!
Same with me. I had them bump mine up to 0.2% after my trial. I think I’m going to ask for brighter on. My next bottle as my skin can handle it. I have seen a difference in my skin for the first time in 20 years. I’m 48 years old
@@SouthernQT72 , never heard of a concentration that high!! R U sure?
Angie, as usual, you presented quite an informative video. Do you by chance have this lesson in a newsletter format? I found this lesson on line, but I only had to option to share it in Pinterest. I would love to have a printed copy of this.
Angie I use the Ordinary 5% HA and the Ordinary granactive retinoid 5%. I have the Timeless vitamin C serum, the Timeless matrixyl synthe 6 serum and the Timeless Co Q10 serum. I have the CeraVe p.m. moisturizing lotion and Oil of Olay Regenerist. All of the things that I've senior recommend and use. The hardest thing for me is to figure out when I use these products and how to layer them in the morning and night. If you could help me with that that would be great. I'm 58 years old, have some sun damage and just trying to take better care of my skin as I age. PS I love your videos they've been so helpful. I've watched hours upon hours of them. Oh and lastly I was considering getting the paulist choice acid that you just talked about in your video that also includes salicylic acid oh, I forget the other acid you said was in it. But if I get that as well I'm not sure when do you use that either or how to layer it with the other products I have which I listed above. Thank you in advance for any comments and or help.

Hi Angie :) so i always have a hard time layering my skincare. I use the timeless vitamin C, but idk when to add my hyaluronic acid. What do you recommend?
Thank you so much Angie for doing your videos. They're always so helpful and enjoyable to watch. I feel like you're a friend, even though we've never met. Thanks again for helping us all take care of ourselves, and try to be the best version of ourselves; inside/out.
Thanks so much Kim! I feel like we're all friends here too! Friends who love skincare!! Have a great weekend!
Since watching your videos I have been using curology and differin
I am obsessed with the First Aide Beauty KP scrub! It is so good for exfoliating my body😀
I love acid masks I see results so much faster than retinol.
I’ve just started watching and I’ll continue the video and then comment some more! Thanks to you Angie, my skin looks amazing! I started Curology in February 2019 and my skin’s age is reversing! I started at the very lowest strength and am now up to the maximum strength because my skin has done so well! I have the cocktail of Trentinoin, Azelaic acid and Niacinamide. Thanks a million dear Angie! 😘😘😘
I'm so happy to hear that Jan! Love when skin ages backward!! xo ~angie
😘
Hi Jan! I started Curology in February as well. The have me on Tretinonion, Tranexamic acid, and Niacinamide. Do you feel the Azelaic acid is helping with facial redness or post inflammatory red marks? Thank you!
Sorry I am new to Curology. What is the highest atrength tretinoin they have? Is it prescription strength?
Brittany, they always had me on this blend as I don’t have any redness just hyperpigmentation and it’s lightened those for me so well. My Curology provider is wonderful. A week before my two-month bottle is due to be formulated, I take photos and start a dialogue with her. I’ve been with her all along and she can tell what’s best for me by the photos I send her. Hope that helps!
Thank goodness for Ordinary skincare. It allows us to take care of ourselves without going broke. I heard the Deciem which owns Ordinary went into partnership with Estee Lauder. Hope that they don't brainstorm ways to increase the price.
Are there any acids that should definitely just be applied at nighttime? Or can they be applied AM or PM? Thanks for all the recommendations!
Great information on different acids. I must comment on what you're wearing love the necklace goes great with your top💝💝💝
