- Just when we thought we got our skin under control, life has a way of throwing curveballs at us 😭We want to thank It Cosmetics for sponsoring a portion of this video so that we can document and share the entire pimple treating process from start to finish in real time!
For five days, we’ll be getting quite literally up and personal as Fel discusses the products for every step of her routine and at various stages of her acne, her skin condition, and takeaways she has throughout the entire process.

It's really traumatizing for me how i'll finally get clear skin and all of a sudden i get hormonal and boom, back to zero again with all the chin cystic acne and dealing again with dark spots😓
Same 😭
@@prachivijayvargiya5998 the cycle seems to enjoy me having low self esteem😢
Awww Mayy don't let it get you down! I also constantly fluctuate between really good skin, and then really bad hormonal cystic acne too, so you're definitely not alone. The thing I've learned is to manage my expectations with the time of my cycle, and also gauge my eating habits because I found those two things are the biggest things that determine when and why my skin is doing more terrible in some days and fine in other times. So it's all natural, we're all on this learning journey together! - fel x
Same just these days. They came back 😭😭
@@kristineagtang9343 what's worst on me is when there's an important event coming up. Imagine sleeping early, balancing healthy diet, doing all the things to get the skin look more happy and just glowing but then anxiety and stress kicks in because of constant worry about the upcoming event and then boom, i end up going to important events with a really bad skin😓
I know it sounds silly but whenever I get a breakout I think of Fel’s acne videos and feel better knowing she overcame it and I can too
Yeesss think of meeee! Honestly I still go through all the ups and downs of good bad and everything in between all the time! so we're all just learning this together, so we can understand how to feed (our super smart) bodies and skin better 🥰 - fel x
@@BeautyWithin OMG YOU REPLIED?? Thank you for your videos, much love from Australia
I love how Fel and Ro are so open with us. Sometimes on this skincare influencer game you get so lost in not see ourselves in them. But this its so relatable
Thank BW team ❤️
Awwww this comments means so much more than you know, thank you for enjoying yourself with us! Skincare to us really is about sharing healthy habits, positivity, but also the lows that we all go through, and it always feels better knowing we're not alone and in a weird way all in it together! - fel x
exactly my thoughts! You could actually see them use the products 🥺❤️ appreciate their reviews so muchhhhhhh
I’m 41 and for the first time in my life getting hormonal acne. This video came just when I needed it.
Yesss adult hormonal acne can hit us at any point unfortunately, but the more we learn and understand our bodies the better we can handle it mentally and with our fave productsss hehhe. I'm forever on this learning journey too, so I guess that's more videos in the near future! haha - fel x
Also, make sure you're hydrating your skin enough! It goes a really long way for your skin :)
Doing your skincare at 2 am after an impromptu nap is the realistic representation I need 😹
hahha STRUGGS amiriiight?! 🤪 - fel x
Firstly, Fel…CONGRATULATIONS on your engagement AND upcoming wedding. Your engagement ring is GORGEOUS!! Boy did good!!! I’m so so so SO happy that you found your ‘one’ and wish you a lifetime of happiness. I hope the wedding planning is going well and not stressing you too much? Maybe that’s contributed to some of your breakouts? Secondly, I LOVED this video and the length aswell, I related to you so much and as we have the same skin types so I always find your skin journey and what you do and use for your skin REALLY helpful. I trust your recommendations always. Thank you for always being vulnerable and open with us by doing all the super closeups and sharing stuff with us so you can HELP us. It means a lot 🫶🏻 Love ya Fel and beauty within 💗
This video is so relatable! This is me every month during the aunt flow and I have to deal with the hyperpigmentation caused by the cystic acnes for the rest of the month. Only to know too well, coming the next month, it'll repeat all over again.
Aunt floooowwwww! Yessss I'm right with ya, but hopefully as we learn more about our body, skin and products more it will eventually (slowly but surely) get better each time! 😊 - fel x
I’ve read a LOT about hormonal acne because last year i had a MAJOR -never seen before- situation that literally destroy me right in the middle of summer. I started taking vitex berry(supplement) with omega -3 and zinc and on my third month my skin was only scars without new ones coming in!!!! it literally changed my life
also, the basics: i changed my face wash & pillows every other day - and stopped washing my face with cleanser in the morning (just water) even tho i am oily, but i am also eczema prone so it helped with flaky skin to keep those morning oils in!!
omg this is so amazing to hear!!! It's very empowering when you can troubleshoot and find solutions, it's the more we know the more I realize how amazing the body is, and encouraging for me to take more care of it so it can do it's thing! Happy for you and thank you for sharing with everyone! - fel x
I came to know about this channel when I was looking for products for acne for my mom as she doesn't understand english. And I don't want her to put products that are harsh on her skin. And her skin is better now. And iam proud of myself to help my mom😌🥰
The tower 28 spray has really helped my husbands redness go down and he hasn’t been breaking out as bad.
Wow. So real. Thank you so much for making us feel like human beings again.
You got this, we got this!! Honestly we all go through ebbs and flow of good and no-as-good skin days, and that's all natural! Glad we can all be on this journey together! - fel x
I love that Tower 28 SOS spray SO much. It does such a great job at calming down my irritation and making my break outs less angry. I wish they put it in different packaging because I agree, the sprayer is strong! I wish it was more graceful but I like how you sprayed it in your hand instead!
I was also pretty impressed with it! Yes it's such an aggressive spray hahahha, but if it works, can't win em all 😂 - fel x
@@BeautyWithin Hypochorlous acid: once the acid part does its thing, converts to what is basically saline water (salt water). That's why it tastes salty. Very normal. ref: Doctorly channel - th-cam.com/video/pn-5YNcsYNc/w-d-xo.html ; Dr Dray channel - th-cam.com/video/bh5kLEDwtrI/w-d-xo.html I've used the brand Dr Dray suggests using the facial cleanser bottle (it was the cheapest at the time I bought) and the sprayer was much more elegant/puts out a fine, comfortable mist.
I have hormonal acne also and its hard to pick the right skin care 😔😔😔
me too, but i recently started using curology (cause my sister had acne too and she used it and hers has cleared up so much) and it works!
Yess i definitely also recommend starting with a brand like Curology or Dermatica, which have dermatology experts behind your personalized formula to help you start getting your skin back on track, and it's pretty awesome because you can even ask them questions and they can also adjust your prescription over time to work with your skin. They both worked for me so highly recommend! Then on top of that, getting your hydrating game on with soothing calming ingredients in your toner or serum will also make the most difference! You got this! - fel x
For those of you who experience chronic problems with hormonal Acne, have you ever asked your derm for a trial of either/or topical Spironolactone and/or oral Spironolactone? It really works for adult Acne and/or Hormonal types of Acne!
I love love love when you make those close ups! Thank you for showing us your skin, because otherwise it always look so beautifully perfect and it is inevitable to compare it with mine. Really, thank you.
My skin freaked the fuck out in June. I had to trace it all back to SuperGoop Unseen sunscreen. It then took another few weeks for my skin to heal from the extreme irritation. Now I’m mostly back to normal! Which I’m so happy about. Breakouts cause so much anxiety.
Fel is that an engagement ring?? 🤩😍
That was the first thing I saw 👀
Just noticed it!
Kekekkee, why yes it issss 🤭 I very low key revealed it on my personal IG hehahah. Getting married end of August 🙊🙊🙊 - fel x
@@BeautyWithin Congratulations! Best wishes on your upcoming nuptials!
I have been struggling with melasma on my forehead due to Hashimoto's thyroiditis and the melasma has been a huge insecurity for me. I have never really struggled with acne personally but two people in my life have, my fiance as well as my BFF since I was 5. My BFF was even on Accutane which is an ABSOLUTE LAST RESORT FOR ACNE because of it's horrific side effects. I know how frustrating these things can be and the fact that I've been in Cosmetology school and plan to go to esthetician school feels almost shameful for me because there hasn't been anything that works for my melasma. I really appreciate your openness to share your skincare struggles with us. Thankyou🙏
I wanna say a big thanks ! I had the most sensitized skin I’ve put everything on it . I seen you use the sos spray so I thought why not try. Two days later skin healing and not as painful THANKYOU for recommending this product!!!!!!
Hi Fel, I know your shelves are already stacked with heaps of products but can you try some Atomy products? I heard it’s a big big thing in Korea so I’m surprised it hasn’t reached Beauty Within yet.
Thank you!
I watched the whole 37:38 minutes and I’m blown away by the products you used!! I shall invest in them myself because I forsure suffer hypopigmentation (especially around my nose area, after heavily extracting black/white heads)
Love this channel 🙏🏻 you guys keep us all updated on everything you guys come upon, use yourselves and sharing it with the world so we can help ourselves is awesome! ❤️❤️❤️🙌🏻
It looks so tempting! I'd love to give it a go! 🥰
Thank you for bringing us along with you in your journey, it was very informative ^^
aww thank you for watching! It's always better knowing we're all on this skin journey tgthrr hehe - fel x
@@BeautyWithin , we really are, learning things together step by step ^^
Have you ever tried the Beauty of Joseon Sunscreen? I got it bc of the ingredients and the reviews but now I’m afraid to actually open it lol
I love that sunscreen!
YES love it! And we're going to be stocking it on our shop veeeryyy soooon heheheh - fel x
@@BeautyWithin Ooh how exciting!! Thanks for the reply btw!
I started using the SOS serum and putting it on after I’ve been in the sun…it literally feels like it cools my skin off it’s so nice. But if I don’t follow up with a moisturizer it feels a little sticky
Have you tried hormonal balancing supplements? Especially the kind with myoinositol? I have been using them for 2 months and I have had 1 pimple rather than a cheek full of them.
What kind of spot treatment do you recommend for a cystic acne breakouts? A drying lotion, salicylic acid/ sulphur treatment, pimple patch or something else? Thanks!
Have you already made an review about Kahi Multi balm? Since I always trust this channel ,I would love to see your thoughts about this product ,is it effective? Or nah?
Thanks it just makes me get excited to try new things and see its normal that my skin is not always chill. Mine never is but it still gives me hope haha
Great video! I watched it from start to finish❤❤. All of your videos are informative but entertaining at the same time. My favorite combination! I was wondering if you could ever do a review on Farm Stay products? I can't find anything on it anywhere and it's a pretty inexpensive brand at that. Or maybe an introduction to the brand and if it's worth buying something from. Thank you very much in advance💞💞👋.
Girlfriend you need to get the iunik black snail restore cream asap, it will heal anything.
OoOoOo you're right! Snail mucin is awesome for acne and hyperpigmentation. Will check this out, thanks for the suggestion! - fel x
Great video! Among the all the products, can you recommend 1-3 products that were super helpful in getting of acne?
- Soothing/calming toner: Tower 29 SOS spray
- Chemical exfoliating serum to get rid of dead skin and bacteria on the skin: IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Breakouts Serum
-Moisturizer: Krave Oat So Simple moisturizer
hope this helps! - fel xx
@@BeautyWithin Thank you so much! That was super quick and helpful💞
For more info on hypochlorous acid, watch Dr Dray she highly recommended it! Diet has a limited impact on acne sadly. I’m 54, post menopausal, eat healthy most of the time, and I still get hormonal acne 🤷♀️. The GBR from Krave helps me a lot! Many SPF break me out, find one that doesn’t and stick to it
I'm just curious. How come you didn't just use a exfoliating mask like I think you loved the Peach and Lily Resurfacing Mask (it looks greenish blue) to help exfoliate your skin and clear out any of the gunk?
I love your videos and you really know what you are talking about, so it is super helpful, but I'm kind of waiting to try out espada blemish by foreo (adult acne are a major problem for me), because their devices have proven their quality. Anything on that topic? I would appreciate review, opinion. Thanks!
Would you put the bye bye breakout serum before or after your toner?
I was consistently on my routine and just when i thought my skin was getting better i had my worst breakout ever! I got little bumps almost (white head like) on my chin down to my neck. Some gets inflamed and red with pustules. I assume it is irritation from wearing masks all day everyday and bacteria build up but i also think its mixed with hormonal acne 😥
Should i continue to incorporate AHA/BHA? or keep it on the calming/soothing and moisturizing side?
heellooo my dear! aww nuuu I know how this feels too! It definitely could be the fact that the mask is pooling bacteria and sweat and oils together causing breakouts. What I might suggest is if you know you're going to be wearing masks for a long time that day, use products that are soothing and also lightweight in consistency so it doesn't clog the pores throughout the day. Then afterwards to have a really good but gentle cleanse, and I would still keep the AHA/BHA toner or serum that you're using in your routine maybe 3-4 times per week, and always using soothing and calming ingredients within that same routine so that it's all harmoniously working together.
Sometimes the inflammed skin can be lifestyle things too, like diet (e.g. excess processed foods, sugars, not enough fibre etc.) which can cause these skin conditions to flare up, so just try to keep everything balanced, and I'm sure it will go down in a couple of weeks with consistency :) Hope this helps a little! You got this hehe - Fel x
This sounds like a reaction to a specific ingredient almost. I take CoQ10 supplements for my Mitochondrial Myopathy and apparently I can't use any skincare products with ubiquinol or CoQ10 in them because whenever I have it causes these little whitehead looking things along my jawline and neck area that r painful, red and pustule-like, much like u described. It has always within 3-7 days when they show up from a reaction for me.
Omg I can already see the ring gurlllllll congratulations
Can you guys recommend a skincare book cause I can’t find myself to process skincare information because I keep coming back cause I forget very easily or just don’t understand at all sometimes…
Where did you get the lamp (at about 26:51 mins in the video).. its on the tray along with the Fresh lip scrub, a vase etc its really cute.
it's actually a humidifier! she showed it in a past video and that she got it on amazon. unfortunately, they discontinued it and now i cant find it at all );
omg Jen you have such awesome memorrryyy! Yes I did get it on Amazon and it was super cute, however, not the most effective haha and it eventually stopped working. so do not reccomend 😅 - fel x
hehe, your videos are really nice: But just one thing, could you maybe add the price next to the products? that would help a lot:) thanks for making videos
Can we get the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Breakout in Australia?
Interestingggg, I just checked the Aus site and it seems to have all the others, but not the one I used here. Maybe they'll stock it in the near future? Also, if Ulta ships to Aus, you can get it from Ulta! Hope this helps - fel x
do a live on ur engagement
Hahhaha oh my! Hmmmm let me see what we can do hahahh *shy* - fel x
Love this!!! ❤️
I love the kidish thing u in between.. Love u aloooot felisha. Lots of love from India
I would consider trying collagen powder, spearmint tea, and fancy farm skincare goat milk soap and a hydrating serum, i think you need to lay off off the bhas
They don’t sell the same It Cosmetics serum you used in Australia 😩😩😩 what else can you suggest to use instead?
Also. With the gel cleansers used in the video, was there any reason why you used different ones? I’d like to purchase but unsure which one. I have hormonal acne after giving birth. Thanks x
Azelaic acid 10% twice a day is good for hormonal cystic acne
Yess love azelaic acid! - fel x
I'm in love with your messy Living room , it's real .
Haha, only last night I awoke from the sofa to then do my skincare at 1:30am! Gotta start doing it before dinner 🤦♀️
Oh gosh hahahh, yesss try doing it earlier because I realized how much sleep affects my skin! If I have repeated days of restless nights or just lack of sleep, no matter how much skincare I use my skin is soooo rough and dehydrated! so very important to get enough ZZzzzz's 🙂 - fel x
What do you think helped most with texture? I’m struggling with hormonal acne and texture
For texture, definitely the AHA and BHA in the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Breakouts serum worked most, because that was the only chemical exfoliant I used all week to help soften and unstick the blocked pores and dead skin. Coupled with epic hydrating products, texture was literally gone by the end of the week! - fel x
Tretinoin !!!
Fel: reaching 28 and a half…
me: *nervously thinking about my 27th bday coming up*
In all seriousness, i am actually quite happy about getting older ! Another year wiser and another year of fun !
Hi can someone please help me , I am kind of new to skincare but I realize that I have been getting a lot of whiteheads that leads to bumps, I don't really get acne but I don't know what to do .
I feel you! 🤗🤗🤗
Did I spot a ring on your left ring finger!?! 👀😄
Kekkeke yes you diiiiid! Getting married end of August hehehe - fel x
Congratulations!!🍾 🎉 I hope it’s a beautiful day.
Love your show! Got me hooked on skincare :-) Could you please review Derma Geek - carried by Duane Reade (TIA)
Hi. Here to see someone discuss Bye Bye Breakout but can’t continue past your mention that a portion of your review is sponsored by It Cosmetics. Thanks for the early transparency though.
Bling bling on your face ✨
So you don’t wash your face with hormonal acne?
You squeezing the product had me crack up
Workout for the day tbh 😂 - fel x
Best one 👍🏼👍🏼
Awww glad you enjoyed the journey with me this week!! - fel x
How do u know it’s hormonal?
Painful Bumps at jawline
Your narrative is intricate and evocative; similar to a book that was intricate and evocative in its thematic treatment. "Your Body Your Temple" by Sophia Wintergreen
Hi Everyone on the beauty within team What is going on
❤️❤️❤️
❤️
All of the BW shop's new sunscreens....just take my money now!
Hehehhahahhohooo, and we're getting a couple more soooon, so we gotchuuuu! 😊 - fel x
Your know you could have used any other serum and your skin was gonna get better you have a million a one products I'm sure way effective than the one your promoting , but because you are gett ok Ng paid by the brand obviously you want to talk about it as the best innovation since sliced bread .
Felicia, you've been at this skincare for awhile and it pains me that you are still putting your skin through test and trials. I understand your (channel) business model. But get spironolactone and a tube of tretinoin 0.05% from a dermatologist and put this cyclical shenanigans to rest.
I’m sorry but I feel like your skin wasn’t that bad compared to what I’m dealing 😭😭😭
Wait. Congrats on the engagement tho!!!! Not on yhe return of acne 🥲 but super helpful video cuz I’m dealing with it too! 🥹
