"The goal is to advance the science" - Honestly, Alice, this is just another example why Im a loyal subscriber to your channel and you are easily one of the top content creators on youtube. You are appreciated sweetie!
I'm sure someone has suggested this before, but I would 100% follow a second channel covering what you learn from nutritional research for the food nerds who crossover with the skincare nerds. Health and beauty are already so intertwined naturally, I think it could be a great side project!
This was a great discussion of how we react to studies and integrate them into the practice of dermatology. Important stuff for all of us to keep in mind - and it makes me relieved I'm not the person who has to interpret these and give patients the best advice while we wait for replication studies! Thank you, again, for giving us the science insight with the skin care. We appreciate you!
I'm not a scientist but I work with scientists, and I really appreciate your discussion about how science moves forward. I think it was in Adam Grant's book "Think Again" that he talks about scientists who like being proven wrong so they learned something new. Your sweater comment and image made me laugh so hard!! 😂😂
Yes haha! Scientists don’t really care about being “wrong”, it’s more important to figure out how things work (even if adjustments in that perspective must be made). Tbh it’s amazing to think about how much and how quickly science has progressed!
Love that, Connie! I enjoy being "wrong" in a lot of things because then I can do things better or faster or in some way improve myself and my work. I've been told throughout my life that this is a neurodivergent thing but it has served me so well in life!
Appreciate the talk about dermatologist having differing opinions especially based on what their practice focus is because I've watched all those channels and then some and seen some of the differing opinions. And that doesn't even include the chemists like Lab Muffin and toxicologists like Mo Skin Lab and the cosmetic chemist/formulators like April Basi, Glow by Ramon, kindofstephen, Esther Olu and let's not forget the estheticians! As for the pea-size retinoid, dr alexis stephens did a demo of that with an actual pea for comparison but then there's, is it a small pea or a large pea, lol?
Yes! I’ve seen people stressing over it in the comments. Opinions will differ, and it’s not an inherently bad thing. Haha yes, I’m always surprised by how big the fruit/veggies are at Costco. Not only giant bags, but big ol’ veggies lol!
Yes I agree with you Alice, dermatologists always differ in options which can make it confusing for us, however another 2 dermatologists (doctorly) that adding an occlusive layer like Vaseline or Aquaphor after a retinoid MAY cause irritation and to do what works for you! I for example I have very sensitive and dry skin ( eczema) and would NOT be able to use a retinoid without an occlusive layer afterwards, I’ve tried without and I almost gave up on retinoids altogether, I’ve even been in debates with people online tell me how wrong I am …lol 🤷♀️will definitely check out the Torriden line 😍
I really do appreciate that Doctorly is good with their wording. It’s easy to fall into “opinion as belief” and to forget that there are exceptions to every rule (especially with skincare!) They’re great at verbally expressing that there are exceptions!
Hahahaha so funny Alice, I have been thinking the same thing about Stylevana ordering thing. For the past 2 months or so, I have been limiting my per order to 6 or less & in my experience, the products arrive 2 weeks or less. I’m not alone now in this realization 😂
I think it’s that they aren’t as reliable with their stock estimates, so it’s really just …it’s math (it’s always math 🤣). There’s a lower risk of one item being out of stock with 6 items vs 12 items. That’s my theory at least lol!
Did I miss it, but what was your first impression of that Innisfree makeup remover? It looked fine and removed your eye and lip makeup really quick but how did you feel about it? Did it leave your skin fine and not oily or slippery? Did your eyes feel fine after using it? I'm so nosey because I too love to use separate eye and lip makeup remover and have been looking for a good k-beauty option for that task 😆😁. I just hate how some products are too oily and leave an oily layer onto your skin. And leave your eyesight a little blurry no matter how much you try to wash it off with a second cleanser 😒. Ugh 😒.
You’re so right that I cut that out! So I said I was shocked and that it felt exactly like using bi-facil. Yep no oiliness or stinging. HOWEVER I realized I really need to try it up against some hefty eyeshadow, so I’m holding off on my final thoughts. However, it was a very good first impression!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Roger that! Please keep us viewers updated because atleast for me it is sometimes difficult to find a nice cleanser for waterproof mascara. I live in the backside of a troll's bu tthole 🙄 (northern europe), but k-beauty is an easy option to buy from yesstyle, and in general i love k- and j-beauty products 🥰.
Thank you for another great video. I think you made very good points about how science evolves. I am so looking forward to your Torriden review. I have their lip treatment in my cart.
Once again, Alice is on the same wavelength as me… I have had the Torriden products and a bunch of JBeauty sunscreens in my basket for winter (in Australia) but haven’t seen any reviews from people I trust. I have pulled the trigger!
At the beginning, especially with The Little Mermaid theme Pacifica had going, your makeup look reminded me so much of Ursula the sea witch (dooooon't take that in a bad way, please I mean it totally good!) with the strong primary color eyeliner and those red lips! But yes I do also get the 4th of July symbolism lol.
I just ordered and received the Kaine Green Calm Aqua Cream and after you showed the texture of it in this video, I'm excited to be finishing the Haruharu Wonder Black rice Hyaluronic Cream to start trying the Kaine one. It looks a lot lighter than the Haruharu Wonder cream and it's fragrance free which is awesome!
I just finished watching and girl you always crack me up 😂 I love your chatty get unready with me videos. You are so smart to and I always feel like I learn something new. I bought the DM yummy skin tint and got the yummy primer as a GWP , got the wrong shade of course had 2 in my cart and accidentally took out the one I wanted which was 7 I ended up with 6, I'm hoping it's dark enough. I'm still waiting for it to get here.
I feel like there’s a lot of flexibility in the shades, at least if you’re applying it more lightly. I can actually wear either 1 or 2 without it looking bad (I’m still not sure which I prefer tbh!)
I feel it would be helpful if you continued using the mizon bifida serum because it takes longer to see maximum results. Then you can tell us how long it took before you felt you maxed out on results. Then the effect it makes when you stop using it would be more obvious. (as far as i could tell you used it for one month? But it takes two months to see maximum benefits) i am wondering how well it helps the skin barrier. Small sidenote about bartier products: a ranking of best barrier products at some point would be epic maybe also a breakdown of how they work, how fast and your experience with that. :D (what you would use when introducing a new active, in an emergency vs regularly etc)
That is a good point! It’s tough to know when to call it quits to move on to the next product vs when to continue for maximum results. That really is something I struggle with deciding (plus bias about wanting to continue my favorites LOL)
Hi Alice 😊 thank you for all you share with us. Hey, i dont see a note in the video description about what youre using as setting powder, and im not easily finding an answer skimming thru your video list. Please share what youre using. Thank you so much!
Powder is the one thing I very, very rarely change. So it’s been the uoma setting powder (not the water version, the twist jar) since about November of last year. I love it!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole thanks so much. I'll check it out. I'm glad you clarified because I just found Zeesea powder on Yesstyle and thought maybe this was it.
@@juliemitzel383 gah! I’m so sorry, this might have been when I just bought that. I admit that is VERY good, but different as it’s pressed vs loose So basically: the Uoma (loose) is great for locking in makeup and actually giving a bit of additional coverage without being too drying. The Zeesea is a pressed powder, so it’s even faster to use for a quick application. On my skin, the Zeesea is best applied lightly while I can theoretically go a bit more ham on the Uoma Apologies for the confusion!
That new toriden essense looks very intriguing to me , kinda reminds me of the makeprem panthenol stuff in that small bottle I bought a few years ago . I forget if they called that a toner essence or emoulshion.
Hi Jen! You didn’t talk about this but what about the influencers with 20 Amazon products that are the greatest things since sliced bread? I’ve watched several and they never say they’re sponsored, affiliated, earning, etc. You know Amazon probably wouldn’t care if they’re fined every day. Thanks Jen! Love this video.❤
@@banii.bh19 There are no breakouts from the Torriden ceramide cream. It is fragrance free and a little heavier than the gel moisturizer. If you have oily skin, you can try a lighter formula...
@@banii.bh19 The moisturizer is nice for a dry dehydrated skin since it contains emollient for coating the skin. However if you have oily skin, it is best if you check the texture as it is thicker.
Alice ik you’re a big fan of Pacifica’s gel ceramide cleanser, how would compare it to the sea foam cleanser? Theres also another sea foam cleanser from Pacifica, but its not little mermaid themed, have you tried that one?
Ooohh I’ve been using the Torriden solid in toner and cream since this winter. It’s in the exact same bottles as yours I didn’t realize it was a newer release?
Hey Alice do you mind answering a question? Do you have any spf or makeup suggestions for someone who is too sensitive to handle mineral spf due to it drying the skin or organic due to it stinging the eyes or causing breakouts? I can't even use eyeshadow powder or in cream form because the particles give me a rash wear my eyelid creases. I am learning less is most definitely more!
Hmm that’s a tough one! Have you tried all the possible filters? I actually quite like titanium dioxide these days, especially since newer formulations block all UV rays (vs the old larger particles that only blocked UVB) I also like Innbeauty project’s bright and tight for a concealer/eye cream duo!
Maybe try avoidding octocrylene (it's not allowed in products labeled for people with allergies where i live because allergy to that filter is somewhat common) Also newer filter tend to be gentler :) tinosorb m is also a new filter but i find it can be a bit drying depending on formulation (it is kinda similar to mineral sunscreen in some aspect which is also why it can leave a cast). Also other than filters some ingredients are frequently used in suncreens but rarely in creams and such (this last part i find the most unlikely to be the problem but honestly you can be sensitive to anything... So i just named all the possible suspects i could think of specifically with regards to suncreen sensitivity). Also don't forget to moisturize like a crazy person (if you aren't already) because moisturized skin tends to be more ressilient. If you havent tried going with richer products i would give ot a shot unless of course you have a skin condition where you should not. Anyway hope this helps :D
If it makes you feel better, I caught myself thinking “should I switch it up after 8 years of the exact same July 4 look?” (And then I did not switch it up, not at all 🤣😂)
Does the torriden moisturizer have any scent?? I do enjoy the scent of Dr Jarts Loved hearing your thoughts on dermatologist. Like a light bulb going off. Yes! That is correct
Oh I can’t live without my RNW Ceramide serum then my DRMTLGY Peptide Night cream before my tretnoin it’s kept me from any irritation … do u have any Asian suggestions for the Drmtlgy night cream ? I just got the Torriden lip balm and I love it my lips are so smooth and soft 🤍🤍🤍💚💚💚🖤🖤🖤🍓🍓🍓🪴🌿🌳🍀🌸🌺🐞🐞🐞hope u had a happy 4th
This isn’t related to this video but I really appreciate how reproduce you are & I’ve asked this on several other peoples videos and I don’t get an answer , isn’t limonene a fragrence ingredient?? I’ve seen several people say a product is fragrence free but there’s limonene ! It’s very confusing
Limonene is a constituent of some essential oils. Often, when you see it listed out in the ingredients, it’s not signifying that a brand added Limonene into the formula, but rather that they used an essential oil which contains it. I can’t remember exactly when regulations changed, but it’s a requirement in the U.S. to list it out *because* it’s a known allergen. So for example, you could have an ingredients list that does not list the word “fragrance” but rather an essential oil that contains it. Or you could have a brand list “fragrance” and the Limonene ingredient clues you in to that fragrance having essential oils vs synthetic fragrance (or a blend) Hopefully that helps, as for why it would be in a “fragrance free” product, it’s either because the reviewer didn’t catch the essential oils or because the brand thinks essential oils don’t count as fragrance. Which is funny, as US regulations call Limonene a fragrance allergen Sorry for the long answer 😅
@@AliceintheRabbitHole thank you so much! Definitely don’t apologize for the long answer I really appreciate you taking the time to explain that to me. Definitely answered my question and taught me a little bit I really appreciate it
What is your opinion on mixing products? I have a ceramide cream and sometimes mix my peptide emulsion into it to save a step. I heard Dr. Dray say not to because you may not get even coverage like when you apply products separately. Ugh!! What do I do 😮
I would stress not to mix anything into your sunscreen. Aside from that, I think you can play around with the concept. Personally I like mixing oils into my moisturizer!
I think Dr Dray also said you should not lock in tretinoin with vaseline for the same reason as Dr Stephens. I guess that if your skin is used to it, you can do it, but while you are getting used to it, no.
Here’s another reason why dermatologists (and other docs) don’t agree: they’re not up to date on the current scientific findings. The process that gets physicians educated on scientific consensus takes years. First the scientific body has to have some level of consensus. Then the organizations and education bodies that get the info to the working docs take their own time. Then docs have make time to attend their trainings and conferences. Yes, I’m sure some docs read the primary literature in some cases but I’d say that’s rare. So while there may be plenty of research into a particular topic, the implementation of that info into patient care is years in the making. If it even makes it at all. I’ll give you a specific example from personal experience. Iron deficiency anemia. One common therapy is taking an iron supplement. Talk to most docs and they’ll look in their clinical software to see it’s recommended as one 325mg tablet per day. Talk to the clinical research group that tested the difference between once daily and once every other day and they’ll tell you the anemia resolved faster when people took it every other day. This is because of the body’s response to iron, it makes total sense. But how many years will it be until guidelines change? And maybe there isn’t “enough need” for them to be updated anyway. Iron supplements are cheap and maybe remembering to take something every day is easier for patients, and those reasons to keep the guidelines as is outweigh the downside of increased time for the anemia to resolve. As patients, we want the best answers. But it’s not always as black and white as social media makes it. Alice, I would be your neighbor. But I melt at 75 degrees. 🤓🤗
And this is why I’m such a terrible patient. I look through the latest research before any appointment and walk away afterward with: 🙄 or 🤨 or 🤔 or 🤦🏻♀️. And why I get so frustrated that getting a second opinion is oftentimes too costly or time-consuming. I’m on a roll tonight. I was gonna continue with another comment about the cons of social media derms! 😆
You know…that’s a darn good point. I’m your optimist over here thinking doctors should keep up with all the lit, but “should” doesn’t always equal “DO”. Oh no wait I want to hear about the cons 🤣
@@AliceintheRabbitHole thank you for replying, I will definitely try the manyo once I finish the instree one :) Thanks again appreciate all your info packed videos
Starting to feel a little paranoid (just kidding). Every time I order a new product that I haven't used before, you upload a video trying that same product a couple of days later 😂
I'm so confused Danessa Myricks has launched yummy skin serum skin tint, yummy skin serum foundation, yummy skin serum glow and idk what's what, the one you have is not on the UK retailers idk pls brands can yall be clear
I got ya! The skin tint has a lower amount of pigment to it, essentially just adding a bit of color to your skin (vs “coverage”). The foundation has higher pigment so it will coat your skin (higher coverage). The serum glow is a primer-like product that adds shimmer before applying your makeup. Hope that helps!
Hallo Alice. You got me lol... I wasn't going to try the DM yummy thingy but now I am. I was thinking will you be my neighbor then your addressed it lol... I was laughing because I have a red sweater just like it. Oh yes people tease. By the way one of my favorite powders os Moira tricolour ones pressed and loose. My dry areas were yes you are not making the areas worse unlike the Haus Labs one. 🫤. Lots of fun to watch thank you so much
Now that I’ve made the Mr. Rogers connection, I have a newfound appreciation for the sweater (genuinely, who DOESNT like Mr. Rogers?!) Let me know how the tint goes for you!
Getting a stylevana/yesstyle order in less than 2-3 weeks is the best feeling😭
Lol it really is!
It’s like Christmas!

I'm sure someone has suggested this before, but I would 100% follow a second channel covering what you learn from nutritional research for the food nerds who crossover with the skincare nerds. Health and beauty are already so intertwined naturally, I think it could be a great side project!
This was a great discussion of how we react to studies and integrate them into the practice of dermatology.

Yes!! Doctors are busy folks! I respect the time and effort they have to put into their practice ☺️
I need Danessa Myricks to come to Ulta.

Oh I can’t live without my RNW Ceramide serum then my DRMTLGY Peptide Night cream before my tretnoin it’s kept me from any irritation … do u have any Asian suggestions for the Drmtlgy night cream ? I just got the Torriden lip balm and I love it my lips are so smooth and soft 🤍🤍🤍💚💚💚🖤🖤🖤🍓🍓🍓🪴🌿🌳🍀🌸🌺🐞🐞🐞hope u had a happy 4th
You know what, I’ll have to revisit that night cream and see if I can come up with something similar. I do remember liking it! ☺️
How do you clean the inside of aluminum tube after it gets squished together?
I use a metal tube squeezer!
Have a great week ❌️ ⭕️
Hope you have a great week too! 🥰
This isn’t related to this video but I really appreciate how reproduce you are & I’ve asked this on several other peoples videos and I don’t get an answer , isn’t limonene a fragrence ingredient?? I’ve seen several people say a product is fragrence free but there’s limonene ! It’s very confusing
Limonene is a constituent of some essential oils. Often, when you see it listed out in the ingredients, it’s not signifying that a brand added Limonene into the formula, but rather that they used an essential oil which contains it. I can’t remember exactly when regulations changed, but it’s a requirement in the U.S. to list it out *because* it’s a known allergen. So for example, you could have an ingredients list that does not list the word “fragrance” but rather an essential oil that contains it. Or you could have a brand list “fragrance” and the Limonene ingredient clues you in to that fragrance having essential oils vs synthetic fragrance (or a blend)
Hopefully that helps, as for why it would be in a “fragrance free” product, it’s either because the reviewer didn’t catch the essential oils or because the brand thinks essential oils don’t count as fragrance. Which is funny, as US regulations call Limonene a fragrance allergen
Sorry for the long answer 😅
@@AliceintheRabbitHolegreat clarification. Thank you.
@@AliceintheRabbitHole thank you so much! Definitely don’t apologize for the long answer I really appreciate you taking the time to explain that to me. Definitely answered my question and taught me a little bit I really appreciate it
wait what was the powder that you have been loving? i feel like i missed a video 😅
It was in my YesStyle haul! I bought some products from Zeesea and they absolutely blew my mind. Soooo good (and like $12-13!? 🤯)
What is your opinion on mixing products? I have a ceramide cream and sometimes mix my peptide emulsion into it to save a step. I heard Dr. Dray say not to because you may not get even coverage like when you apply products separately. Ugh!! What do I do 😮
I would stress not to mix anything into your sunscreen. Aside from that, I think you can play around with the concept. Personally I like mixing oils into my moisturizer!
I think Dr Dray also said you should not lock in tretinoin with vaseline for the same reason as Dr Stephens. I guess that if your skin is used to it, you can do it, but while you are getting used to it, no.
Yup, yeah I feel that’s generally good advice: always proceed with caution with actives, especially tret.
Here’s another reason why dermatologists (and other docs) don’t agree: they’re not up to date on the current scientific findings. The process that gets physicians educated on scientific consensus takes years. First the scientific body has to have some level of consensus. Then the organizations and education bodies that get the info to the working docs take their own time. Then docs have make time to attend their trainings and conferences. Yes, I’m sure some docs read the primary literature in some cases but I’d say that’s rare. So while there may be plenty of research into a particular topic, the implementation of that info into patient care is years in the making. If it even makes it at all.
I’ll give you a specific example from personal experience. Iron deficiency anemia. One common therapy is taking an iron supplement. Talk to most docs and they’ll look in their clinical software to see it’s recommended as one 325mg tablet per day. Talk to the clinical research group that tested the difference between once daily and once every other day and they’ll tell you the anemia resolved faster when people took it every other day. This is because of the body’s response to iron, it makes total sense. But how many years will it be until guidelines change? And maybe there isn’t “enough need” for them to be updated anyway. Iron supplements are cheap and maybe remembering to take something every day is easier for patients, and those reasons to keep the guidelines as is outweigh the downside of increased time for the anemia to resolve. As patients, we want the best answers. But it’s not always as black and white as social media makes it.
Alice, I would be your neighbor. But I melt at 75 degrees. 🤓🤗
And this is why I’m such a terrible patient. I look through the latest research before any appointment and walk away afterward with: 🙄 or 🤨 or 🤔 or 🤦🏻♀️. And why I get so frustrated that getting a second opinion is oftentimes too costly or time-consuming.
I’m on a roll tonight. I was gonna continue with another comment about the cons of social media derms! 😆
You know…that’s a darn good point. I’m your optimist over here thinking doctors should keep up with all the lit, but “should” doesn’t always equal “DO”.
Oh no wait I want to hear about the cons 🤣
What is better the instree TW real bifida ampoule or the manyo bifida complex ampoule?
Cheers 😊
Manyo for me, Isntree’s is nice but it felt like dipping my toes into bifida ferment lysate
@@AliceintheRabbitHole thank you for replying, I will definitely try the manyo once I finish the instree one :)
Thanks again appreciate all your info packed videos
Awwwww be my neighbor!❌️⭕️
I have adult acne from perimenopause and I don’t want to go back to retinol/adapalene. 😂
You don’t? I looove adapalene haha! And the interesting part is that I saw results starting off with just once a week use. It’s potent stuff!
Did I hear you correctly? Do you have your Ph.D. in Nutrition? I ask because I only know two people with such degrees, and I’m related to them.
MS in Nutrition ☺️
@@AliceintheRabbitHoleAwesome!
Healthy debate is a good thing. Personal experiences will make better science. ❌️⭕️
Starting to feel a little paranoid (just kidding). Every time I order a new product that I haven't used before, you upload a video trying that same product a couple of days later 😂
Lol! Wait which one? 👀
@@AliceintheRabbitHole The Torriden ceramide cream 😍 I hope I'll like it too.
Hi Alice ❌️ ⭕️
People say "weary" instead of "wary" ALL the time. I'm an editor by trade, so these things stand out to me as well.
Ah you very much understand! 🤣
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I think they are conflating wary and leery. That's my hypothesis anyway.

YOU'RE TRANS???? i've been watching for a minute and i didnt know you were one of the dolls
I'm so confused Danessa Myricks has launched yummy skin serum skin tint, yummy skin serum foundation, yummy skin serum glow and idk what's what, the one you have is not on the UK retailers idk pls brands can yall be clear
I got ya!
The skin tint has a lower amount of pigment to it, essentially just adding a bit of color to your skin (vs “coverage”). The foundation has higher pigment so it will coat your skin (higher coverage). The serum glow is a primer-like product that adds shimmer before applying your makeup. Hope that helps!
Hallo Alice. You got me lol... I wasn't going to try the DM yummy thingy but now I am. I was thinking will you be my neighbor then your addressed it lol... I was laughing because I have a red sweater just like it. Oh yes people tease. By the way one of my favorite powders os Moira tricolour ones pressed and loose. My dry areas were yes you are not making the areas worse unlike the Haus Labs one. 🫤. Lots of fun to watch thank you so much
Now that I’ve made the Mr. Rogers connection, I have a newfound appreciation for the sweater (genuinely, who DOESNT like Mr. Rogers?!)
Let me know how the tint goes for you!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I sure will ❤️❤️🌻🧡
