Yes me too. I quit drinking wine and the dark patches under my eyes went away. If i drink it, immediately, the next day, the dark circles come back. They dissapear in a day or so.
Such great advices, Angie! I am using 5 out of 6 methods: tretinoint, sunscreen, Botox, sleeping pillows, and thinking to get my first LED mask. One thing that I will suggest to add is the castor oil around the eye area, and beauty sleep.
I wondered - the video has been up an hour or two, has 2-3000ish views and almost 500 likes, but only 12 comments? Didn't seem right. Thanks for putting this together. It's a really useful little review.
@@bella2432try a retinal! Some people can’t tolerate it. I had to switch as well. I did everything to acclimate but constant peeling no matter what I did. My skin loves retinal though and no peeling.
Man, so many questions, Angie. How exhausting. Thanks for NOT reviewing every single product from every single company. Stay the course and don't worry about reviewing every suggestion, that's not your job. Thanks for explaining the science of beauty. You're my absolute FAV.
Hi Angie, I’ve never commented before on your channel ( shy haha) but I wanted to share something with you… through my research, I’ve learned that when using lasers, you really only want to go to a board certified dermatologist with a fellowship in lasers. It may take a hot minute to find one but it’s worth it! I would do this over a surgeon. You would think they may know more than even a dermatologist but no, their expertise is surgery not derm and not lasers. I have seen many times in my research, where surgeons have caused serious damage from either settings that are too aggressive or bc of the anesthetic , that in turn Dr went too hard and burned. Laser fellowship is the way to go. My 2 cents- live your videos! Thank you!!!
Hi Angie and friends - I’m a little older (just turned 63) and have been following most of what you recommend here for about 7 or 8 years now. Like you, in many ways my skin looks better now than it did in my early 50s. People always think I’m much younger than my age - yes, it’s good genes, but it’s even more good skincare! I’m so glad that my kids got into skin care in their 20s, including religiously wearing SPF. Thanks for continuing to bring us all the great, science based recommendations!

Thank you Angie! I love the science and data behind the products. You look fantastic and you’re smart! Ladies should also know that generic tretinoin is so much cheaper than any other branded product like Agency or other expensive products. If you’re doing an annual skin check then your derm can give you a prescription then. Even some primary care physicians will give you a prescription for generic trentinoin.
I’m almost 61 and just started on prescription tretinoin a few months ago. Looks like I should have started several years ago. I have used Paula’s Choice retinol products for at least 10 years so hopefully that’s given me a head start. The red light masks sound encouraging but I’ve read so many reviews where the device stops working shortly after the warranty period. That’s a lot of money for something that doesn’t last. I’d say that the Botox gave you a huge head start on reducing your wrinkles but unfortunately the majority of us can’t afford these procedures or at home devices so won’t see the wrinkle improvements you have.
Great info! My grandmother taught me to wear sunscreen when I was a very young girl. I’ve been slathering that stuff on my face since jr high / high school. I think back then I used oil of Olay. I’m 55 and never stopped using it. The best sunscreen I have been using daily rain or shine is ESMI. Absolutely love it! Thanks for sharing all your beauty secrets. ❤your skin is beautiful!
@@sgardner4156 Peach slices is great 20$ and Cos de Baha Korean 12$.Cos de Baha stings 3-5 first times then fine.Both goes really long way.Results in 3-4weeks smooth even tone skin.Really
Such a great video, Angie. It's never too late to care for our skin AND the technology has come a long way for at home as well as clinical treatments. Great point that sun screen is probably the #1 thing we can all do immediately to improve our skin.
Ok hear me out- I need you to tell me which red light BODY panel I need 😂 I’m so in love with my celluma red light results on my face, that now I’m convinced that I need to do red light on my whole body!😂😍 There are sleeping bag type things, but it’s really hard to tell which are quality and which are fakes. Thanks!!❤❤
Your videos are always so well put together and your knowledge is so deep. I've missed you because you haven't been showing up in my algorithm and I finally realized it and I'm so glad to be back watching! Thank you Angie for all the work you do to make such quality content. We appreciate your time!
Angie, you look amazing!! 🤩 I have been a silent follower for many years now and I can tell everything you do skincare wise really pays off. You’re my biggest inspiration and motivation! 🎉 thank you for sharing your journey and beauty advises! 💞
Yes, Angie! Thank you for informing people about the sleep wrinkles. I’ve been trying to sleep more on my back. My left side has more wrinkles than my right. Wish I’d have known this years ago. Also, EltaMD is so great! I’ve also been using it for years.
You are truly a national treasure! TY for all these important tips and this is my “kick it the butt” to be consistent with my tretinoin (I always forget). Have a beautiful weekend Angie 🤍
You always offer so much info. You alone have single handedly changed my whole skin care routine for the last 4 years!! Thank you for your diligence in providing quality information.
I highly recommend to adapt derma rolling into your routine! I have irritation to many products and sadly may need to give up retinols, but I see great results with sleeping on my back, derma rolling and the red light mask. First time using derma roller I see reduction with my 11s, like they are gone. I cannot see the lines and this method relaxes the area so I don’t seem to tight the area anymore.
@@gabbyskitchen6640 I’ve started with 0.2mm once a week for a month and then moved to 0.5mm, 0.3mm under eye area. Gin amber has some good tutorial and info!
My Omnilux mask lasted just over the two year warranty period. I took exceptional care of my mask. I think it was designed to only last two years! Others have experienced the same thing. Also, I have to charge the glove now every other time I use it! I would NEVER consider a repurchase of this brand. A lot of money spent and wasted. Recently, there have been some great new masks that have just come out i.e. Dr. Rajani’s new mask and also Maysama’s new mask. It has been a while since a collective review has been done on LED masks. Influencers should consider providing us with an updated review.
How close do you have to have it to your face for it to work? The top part of the mask fits my forehead but the lower strap seems to keep it off the skin of my lip area which is what I want to treat. Does it have to be right smack up against the skin to be effective?
@@kmcdani2 the mask should be no more than 1/4 inch from your face. I use clips to pull the bottom strap upward so that it’s tight against my chin. I plan on purchasing either Dr. Rajani‘s Mask which includes a section of lights for underneath the chin or Maysama’s Mask because it has the best strap.
Actually, a panel is better than a mask. The mito pro 300 has better specs. You can turn off NIR, use only NIR, and set the timer up to 30 minutes. It comes with a stand, but you can add more panels, buying a different stand. The mito pro also does your face and your neck. There is no need for 2 separate devices. The Omnilux face mask always slipped off my face, I had to lay down while using. The neck and chest mask caused a lot of wrinkles. The hand mask now requires charging nightly. The hand is the only Omnilux device I use.
Angie I’ve been following and using all the things that you recommend for a lot of years now. The one thing I just can’t seem to master is sleeping on my back. I keep trying but I wake up either with my neck hurting because my head has turned to one side or I have rolled over completely on my side. I’ll keep trying. 😊
Back sleeping isn't for everyone... you have to weigh the benefits with how you feel. Sounds like you could keep trying but if your neck keeps hurting after a few months it might not be for you...
You look amazing, Angie!! Thank you for all the wonderful content. Would you consider doing a video about the various procedures that are currently available for people to do? Education is key to making good choices. With so much garbage information on social media, I would really appreciate hearing about what the latest techniques and procedures are from someone who values science and always does her research before she does something new, especially to her face. 💖
I’m ready for a spring wardrobe video, Angie. Feeling the winter blahs. Also, will you try the goPure Neck Firming Cream? Other influencers are saying it is great, but it is over $50 a bottle and I’m skeptical of a cream making a dramatic change.
RE: Sunscreen. You are so right Angie. There was NOTHING but Coppertone when we were kids. My mother, A NURSE, took a photo of my on a summer family vacation at Myrtle Beach, in a bikini whe made for me, and I was red as a lobster. Why didn't she give me a shirt, even? I can't even count all the sunburns I suffered. Every summer. Every vacation. They were painful! I remember my aunt giving me wet teabags to drag over my arms and legs to soothe a sunburn. This all culminated in a pre melanoma being removed from my scapula in my late 20s. EVEN my dermatologist didn't suggest SPF at that point. He basically just said I should stay out of the sun. At the time there was little in the way of online shopping, but somehow, I got sales catalogs from companies like SUN PRECAUTIONS. Every year I'd buy one more expensive UPF shirt. One more expensive UPF 50 hat. Of course, now I source my SPFs from places like France and Sweden, where they have MODERN and ELEGANT SPFs that are a joy to apply. Darn it. I was born too freaking soon. But still, even in the World Wars, they developed Red Vet Pet to keep the soldiers from burning. You can still get a version of this under a different name, but when I was researching this a while back I wondered if I had been living under a rock. There were some news stories, in places you wouldn't thing to look, but now it's everywhere. You can't turn your head without someone or some ad proclaiming the advantages of sunscreen. Still and all, I know a LOT of people WHO STILL DON'T WEAR IT.
Don't be too hard on yourself.... we thought burning & peeling was the fastest way to get tan because once we got tan we didnt' burn any more (that summer anyway)... we actually thought it was good for our skin!! But we didn't know what we didn't know.
I just signed up with Agency. Have used Maelove Retinol Super Serum but not nightly for a year. PS my before pics are so bad!!! Makeup well done with skincare is a miracle!
I have melasma and was told by my derm to use tinted sunscreen for the added protection. Do you happen to know if the Haru Haru would be as protective as a tinted sunscreen since they use better filters? On another note, I wish Nira offered some sort of trade in discount. I bought my Nira the end of 2022 when you did your video on the results and had that awesome discount. Unfortunately, I don't feel like there has been any change in my eye wrinkles. I wonder if the the new device would work better, but I can't justify buying it when I've only had the older one for a year. (Mine didn't come until Feb 2023). So Nira if you read comments.......something to consider.
Comprehensive as always Angie, thank you for drilling this info into our heads!!! I have you to thank for increasing my knowledge base on all things skincare!!!
Do you take vitamin D? I use Curology too and I’m 53. I’ve been avoiding the sun but when I went to my dr because of feeling really bad, they did blood work. The normal range for vitamin D is 30-100. Mine was 6!! I immediately felt better after taking my vitamin D. So if anyone is using sun screen and avoiding the sun, get your vitamin D checked. I thought it was just seasonal depression making me feel bad but it wasn’t.
@@AngieHotandFlashy it’s so important for us previous Sun worshipers or anyone that’s using sun screen religiously. I had no idea that’s why I was feeling so horrible.
Hi Angie! 😊I love this sum up of the best video. You really break things down nicely and sum it up so well! I use many if not all of the things you mentioned! Thanks for always delivering the best content!! 😊❤
I love the Timeless Vit C and coenzyme q10. My skin looks so good. I started using NIVEA SKIN FIRMING ANTIWRINKLE NECK & CHEST CREAM on my neck. It looks so much better. I have put a little in my night cream. Thanks for posting!
Could you be so kind as to give me a reference for this cream. It seems I can't find here in France: it has a different name (even when translated from French into English). TIA
Thank you Angie! You’re so knowledgeable about skincare. I feel like I’m listening to a dermatologist when you include such detail. I appreciate all of your hard work!
I love your before and afters! I found you when I turned 50, have followed all of your advice and now, at 58, look better than I did at 45! Aging backwards 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Thank you so much for your content❣️
Hi Angie! Fellow Connecticut resident! I purchased the Omni lux face mask about 3 years ago and it has just stopped working even thou the charger is working. Of course it is out of warranty.. Not sure if i want to repurchase it again. (did not like the marks it left on my nose) Can you suggest another great mask. Thank you, long time subscriber and your skincare has changed my 62 year skin!
Angie, Gotta get back on the Retin-A! I’ve fallen off the Retin-A wagon! Also, the chain on my Leo necklace like the one you are wearing in this video broke and I have to get it fixed! One of my fave necklaces! Love your shows!
Good Morning, Angie, It's great to see another affordable Vitamin C and will try Prequel next. Are you still using peptides or AHA's? Thanks for all . xo
Hello, I just started watching your videos, and I love them! I was wondering what you think of Hyaluronic acid? Do you use it? Or is it not needed when using your recommendations?
Have you done any test on your skin, with castor oil as a PM moisturizer? I just turned 61, ouch. I started following you 6 months-ish ago. I came off my very expensive skin care routine (which I have been on for a decade) and began following yours to a T. I’m in absolute LOVE with the changes in my skin. The only difference is I use Trifarotene (script strength) now. Whereas I used Tretinoin for the previous four years.
Thanks Angie for the very helpful information I agree we need to keep up with products that help us as it helps us to look & feel our best see you soon have a lovely weekend ❤
Thank you for the great video! Would love a vid on dealing with menopause. Have you heard of Barbara O’Neil? I’ve been using wild yam cream with good results
Hi Christina, I know Angie has interviewed Dr. Barbie Taylor (Menopause Taylor). she's fantastic and you can find the vids out there. Another amazing reference is Dr. Susan Hardwick out of Houston, TX. She's been interviewed a couple times by Dominique Sachse. I'm not sure if Angie has interviewed her, but you can look. I learned SO MUCH from those 2 ladies. Happily on HRT and hope to be on it forever! Best to you.
Angie I saw a video by a plastic surgeon pretty famous on TH-cam if I understood him correctly it seems like he was saying that those laser energy devices affects the fat pads negatively in your face and could possibly make you look older. If I understood him correctly over time this happens. Maybe I misunderstood him? Have you heard any of these reports?
I've heard many people are concerned about devices melting fat from the face so I asked the device makers and they say they the home devices don't get hot enough to melt fat. Some professional devices can get hot enough, but Fraxel laser shouldn't if your provider knows which settings to use that don't melt fat.
Angie, what do you think about Loreal Revitalift Triple Power moisterizer, ProRetinal, Hyaluronic Acid and Vit. C? All together in one product??? Just found you. I'm learning so much even at 66 years old.
Absolutely tretinoin is the gold star standard for collagen build, for plumping and overall texture improvements. However, the laser procedures you’ve had have absolutely tightened your skin thus minimizing dynamic and expression lines throughout your face-there is a benefit even to the areas not directly treated. I think many people that have had laser treatments need to emphasize that the benefits of tightening thus smoothing are exceptional.
Just to be perfectly clear, it's laser treatment singular, not treatments ie: I had 1 Fraxel laser treatment 8 years ago on my face. Yes lasers are powerful and as I said in the video, results from this type of treatment will be more significant in a much shorter amount of time than with skincare.
Great video as always, thank you so much:) I wish to have more recommendations from your videos for the products available worldwide, like let's say vitamin C is always Timeless.. but it's not available in Europe, only US, agency as well it's all US:) I believe you have so many subscribers from other parts of the world:)
Angie, I am using Curology about 6 years ago and I like it but yesterday checking my accounts I noticed that they increased the price more than $20 !!! I sent an email I hope they answer soon. I love moonlight for my neck too😊
Hi Angie, thank you so much for your videos, they are so helpful. I do have a question about the new Agency eye cream, I know you said in the past that you really don’t use dedicated eye creams, but I was wondering if you were going to give it a try.
The new eye cream is coming in my next shipment of Agency. I don't usually thing there's a need for a separate eye cream but this one will contain prescription tretinoin so I'd say it could be great for people who don't use tretinoin already or those who need a gentler prescription for the eye area.
Hi Angie! I have learned so much from you and really appreciate all of your testing and knowledge. It has changed my skin so much. I am 67 and I spent many hours lying out in the sun unprotected too. I have a question. I remember you changing from Botox to Dysport. Do you still use Dysport? I have been getting that type for some time now and I love it. Thank you for all you do!!!
I don't see the NuFace on this video, do you still use it, and would you recommend it over the Nira for jawline? It would be great if you did a Black Friday video again or just an update from last year would be helpful. Thanks so much!!!
Thank you for all the info you give in your videos. It’s appreciated. Do you have any thoughts on the omnilux men’s version? I’m considering getting the contour but didn’t know if the men’s would be more effective.
Hi Angie 😊 just curious what you think about microneedling from time to time for wrinkles and collagen induction? Have you ever had it done? Thanks for all the content! Love your videos!
I didn't have a falling out with them but they've been having a separation issue with the sunscreen I love... they thought they had it fixed but my last bottle separated and I've heard from so many viewers who've had bottles that separated too so I though it better to recommend other faves in this video. Hopefully they'll get it sorted out soon!
I’m glad you mentioned this. I returned a bottle back to Target recently because I thought it was old or something. It makes sense now. Maybe the formulation changed when they added new tints. Either way, thank you for always having our backs. I appreciate all your hard work and dedication.
I unfortunately received so many bad bottles from Agency. They were crunchy, wouldn’t pump, some watery etc. I just paid for tretinoin tubes. So much cheaper.
I had the face and neck Omnilux and barely out of warranty they both stopped working so I made a huge financial investment and have two masks I can’t use masks!
Hello Angie, Trentinion. I'm following a lot of your tips, by using it only once a week to start and using the sandwich method my question was is it okay on the days I'm not using it to use my red light therapy mask?
I just started to watch her too , and i jsut learned about sandwhich method. now i wonder what to use in morning ,since im 53 , cyclist and post surgery total hysterectomy
Thanks for the tips, seems most of all it’s consistency and no magic. I started following your skincare 5 years ago and working on sleeping on my back as I think it does have an impact on eye circles and wrinkles. Wondering if you have tried the mineral sunscreen version of the Haru Haru. Love if you’d also test some of the other buzzed sunscreens in your next round up testing video. Hero tinted, elf whoa glow, Heimish artless glow base, skin1004 water fit sun serum.
I have tried the Haru Haru mineral but didn't love it, I think I talked about it in a faves & fails... I've tested a few of the ones you mentioned in past videos (Hero & Skin 1004), will check into the other 2.
@@AngieHotandFlashythank you so much for the reply! I dug back and yes found your review of hero. Good to know it works only on no makeup days. The skin 1004 wasn’t the mineral one that I heard about, the mineral you tested def was too white cast. Thanks as always for testing all of these for us!
Hi Angie! Thank you so much for the continued well-researched, trustworthy, invaluable content! It is so appreciated!! Could you possibly cover some of the latest, most promising in-office treatments? Lasers, collagen induction injectables, peelings, etc. For instance, I've just heard great things about a laser called UltraClear and would love to hear your meticulously well-researched opinion. These treatments are usually an investment and it would be great to hear from a trustworthy source. Thank you!!❤
Hey ANgie, What if anything do you use under your eyes? I have blue veins, which makes it look like I have bags. I am 58 years old, I use the Omni Lux, and I use the Mini Current Body . ANy suggestions that really work and don't break the bank???? Have a nice day.
I’ve been using Agency as well for about a year now due to your recommendation, I’m curious what tretinoin dose your up to, I’m at 0.070% right now. I’ve noticed such an amazing difference with my skin, fine lines and wrinkles.

I've missed you because you haven't been showing up in my algorithm and I finally realized it and I'm so glad to be back watching! Thank you Angie for all the work you do to make such quality content. We appreciate your time!
Angie, you look amazing!! 🤩 I have been a silent follower for many years now and I can tell everything you do skincare wise really pays off. You’re my biggest inspiration and motivation! 🎉 thank you for sharing your journey and beauty advises! 💞
That's so awesome to hear! Thank you!!
Yes, Angie! Thank you for informing people about the sleep wrinkles. I’ve been trying to sleep more on my back. My left side has more wrinkles than my right. Wish I’d have known this years ago. Also, EltaMD is so great! I’ve also been using it for years.
Hi Angie, everything that you have done had worked for you. You look younger now . ❤Greetings from NY❤
Oh thank you!
You are truly a national treasure! TY for all these important tips and this is my “kick it the butt” to be consistent with my tretinoin (I always forget). Have a beautiful weekend Angie 🤍
You always offer so much info. You alone have single handedly changed my whole skin care routine for the last 4 years!! Thank you for your diligence in providing quality information.
Amazing to hear!
I highly recommend to adapt derma rolling into your routine! I have irritation to many products and sadly may need to give up retinols, but I see great results with sleeping on my back, derma rolling and the red light mask. First time using derma roller I see reduction with my 11s, like they are gone. I cannot see the lines and this method relaxes the area so I don’t seem to tight the area anymore.
Hi, what derma roller do you use? Thank you!
@@gabbyskitchen6640 I’ve started with 0.2mm once a week for a month and then moved to 0.5mm, 0.3mm under eye area. Gin amber has some good tutorial and info!
Started with 0.25 for under eye face and gradually went to 0.5mm in face.@@gabbyskitchen6640
My Omnilux mask lasted just over the two year warranty period. I took exceptional care of my mask. I think it was designed to only last two years! Others have experienced the same thing. Also, I have to charge the glove now every other time I use it! I would NEVER consider a repurchase of this brand. A lot of money spent and wasted.
Recently, there have been some great new masks that have just come out i.e. Dr. Rajani’s new mask and also Maysama’s new mask. It has been a while since a collective review has been done on LED masks. Influencers should consider providing us with an updated review.
How close do you have to have it to your face for it to work? The top part of the mask fits my forehead but the lower strap seems to keep it off the skin of my lip area which is what I want to treat. Does it have to be right smack up against the skin to be effective?
@@kmcdani2 the mask should be no more than 1/4 inch from your face. I use clips to pull the bottom strap upward so that it’s tight against my chin. I plan on purchasing either Dr. Rajani‘s Mask which includes a section of lights for underneath the chin or Maysama’s Mask because it has the best strap.
Actually, a panel is better than a mask. The mito pro 300 has better specs. You can turn off NIR, use only NIR, and set the timer up to 30 minutes. It comes with a stand, but you can add more panels, buying a different stand. The mito pro also does your face and your neck. There is no need for 2 separate devices. The Omnilux face mask always slipped off my face, I had to lay down while using. The neck and chest mask caused a lot of wrinkles. The hand mask now requires charging nightly. The hand is the only Omnilux device I use.
Mine broke just after the 2 year warranty ended also!
Thanks for this, Angie. Really interesting and comprehensive. Tret, Vit C and Sunscreen are the trinity!
Thank you Angie! Love your content (and make up brushes!!)
Angie I’ve been following and using all the things that you recommend for a lot of years now. The one thing I just can’t seem to master is sleeping on my back. I keep trying but I wake up either with my neck hurting because my head has turned to one side or I have rolled over completely on my side. I’ll keep trying. 😊
Back sleeping isn't for everyone... you have to weigh the benefits with how you feel. Sounds like you could keep trying but if your neck keeps hurting after a few months it might not be for you...
You look amazing, Angie!! Thank you for all the wonderful content. Would you consider doing a video about the various procedures that are currently available for people to do? Education is key to making good choices. With so much garbage information on social media, I would really appreciate hearing about what the latest techniques and procedures are from someone who values science and always does her research before she does something new, especially to her face. 💖
I’m ready for a spring wardrobe video, Angie. Feeling the winter blahs. Also, will you try the goPure Neck Firming Cream? Other influencers are saying it is great, but it is over $50 a bottle and I’m skeptical of a cream making a dramatic change.
RE: Sunscreen. You are so right Angie. There was NOTHING but Coppertone when we were kids. My mother, A NURSE, took a photo of my on a summer family vacation at Myrtle Beach, in a bikini whe made for me, and I was red as a lobster. Why didn't she give me a shirt, even? I can't even count all the sunburns I suffered. Every summer. Every vacation. They were painful! I remember my aunt giving me wet teabags to drag over my arms and legs to soothe a sunburn. This all culminated in a pre melanoma being removed from my scapula in my late 20s. EVEN my dermatologist didn't suggest SPF at that point. He basically just said I should stay out of the sun. At the time there was little in the way of online shopping, but somehow, I got sales catalogs from companies like SUN PRECAUTIONS. Every year I'd buy one more expensive UPF shirt. One more expensive UPF 50 hat. Of course, now I source my SPFs from places like France and Sweden, where they have MODERN and ELEGANT SPFs that are a joy to apply. Darn it. I was born too freaking soon. But still, even in the World Wars, they developed Red Vet Pet to keep the soldiers from burning. You can still get a version of this under a different name, but when I was researching this a while back I wondered if I had been living under a rock. There were some news stories, in places you wouldn't thing to look, but now it's everywhere. You can't turn your head without someone or some ad proclaiming the advantages of sunscreen. Still and all, I know a LOT of people WHO STILL DON'T WEAR IT.
Don't be too hard on yourself.... we thought burning & peeling was the fastest way to get tan because once we got tan we didnt' burn any more (that summer anyway)... we actually thought it was good for our skin!! But we didn't know what we didn't know.
I just signed up with Agency. Have used Maelove Retinol Super Serum but not nightly for a year. PS my before pics are so bad!!! Makeup well done with skincare is a miracle!
I have melasma and was told by my derm to use tinted sunscreen for the added protection. Do you happen to know if the Haru Haru would be as protective as a tinted sunscreen since they use better filters?
On another note, I wish Nira offered some sort of trade in discount. I bought my Nira the end of 2022 when you did your video on the results and had that awesome discount. Unfortunately, I don't feel like there has been any change in my eye wrinkles. I wonder if the the new device would work better, but I can't justify buying it when I've only had the older one for a year. (Mine didn't come until Feb 2023). So Nira if you read comments.......something to consider.
Thanks Angie, I ahve been watching you for many years and i am happy you are continuing with your videos!
Hi Angie. This was a brilliant video. Thank you so much for all this gold info. Sending you sunshine from Oz xxx🌞🌺🌏
You are so welcome! Thanks for the sunshine as always, it's a beautiful sunny day here with some snow on the ground, so sparkly!! xo ~a.
Comprehensive as always Angie, thank you for drilling this info into our heads!!! I have you to thank for increasing my knowledge base on all things skincare!!!
Glad it was helpful!
hello to you from Romania , im menopausal age 53 , and i just discover tretinoin , thank you
I love the EltaMD Uv Elements Broad Spectrum 44. However, I wish they made it in a lighter tint.
Try mixing it like she does with Australian gold sunscreen 😊
Do you take vitamin D? I use Curology too and I’m 53. I’ve been avoiding the sun but when I went to my dr because of feeling really bad, they did blood work. The normal range for vitamin D is 30-100. Mine was 6!! I immediately felt better after taking my vitamin D. So if anyone is using sun screen and avoiding the sun, get your vitamin D checked. I thought it was just seasonal depression making me feel bad but it wasn’t.
I do take Vitamin d!
@@AngieHotandFlashy it’s so important for us previous Sun worshipers or anyone that’s using sun screen religiously. I had no idea that’s why I was feeling so horrible.
Same here girl. Mine was 9! Bought D3 K2 and getting some rays.
Hi Angie! 😊I love this sum up of the best video. You really break things down nicely and sum it up so well! I use many if not all of the things you mentioned! Thanks for always delivering the best content!! 😊❤
You are so welcome!
I love the Timeless Vit C and coenzyme q10. My skin looks so good. I started using NIVEA SKIN FIRMING ANTIWRINKLE NECK & CHEST CREAM on my neck. It looks so much better. I have put a little in my night cream. Thanks for posting!
Could you be so kind as to give me a reference for this cream. It seems I can't find here in France: it has a different name (even when translated from French into English). TIA
Thank you Angie! You’re so knowledgeable about skincare. I feel like I’m listening to a dermatologist when you include such detail. I appreciate all of your hard work!
I had the ablative laser under my eyes and it was sooooo painful but soooo effective! ❤
I love your before and afters!
I found you when I turned 50, have followed all of your advice and now, at 58, look better than I did at 45!
Aging backwards 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much for your content❣️
That's so awesome to hear! So happy my tips help your skin look its best!! 💜
Hi Angie! Fellow Connecticut resident! I purchased the Omni lux face mask about 3 years ago and it has just stopped working even thou the charger is working. Of course it is out of warranty.. Not sure if i want to repurchase it again. (did not like the marks it left on my nose) Can you suggest another great mask. Thank you, long time subscriber and your skincare has changed my 62 year skin!
Have you recommended a sport sunscreen that’s good under makeup?
Angie, Gotta get back on the Retin-A! I’ve fallen off the Retin-A wagon! Also, the chain on my Leo necklace like the one you are wearing in this video broke and I have to get it fixed! One of my fave necklaces! Love your shows!
Glad your comments are back on. 😊
Really great tips thank you for your time making this video 😊
Have you thought about estrogen cream for face or neck? I just started HRT but I'm looking into a topical cream too.
Good Morning, Angie, It's great to see another affordable Vitamin C and will try Prequel next. Are you still using peptides or AHA's? Thanks for all . xo
Hi Christine! The price on Prequel is so great! I am still using peptides & AHAs! xo ~a.
Praying for you right now Angie…you seem heavy hearted in the video.
I thought the same thing about this video and the last one. So sweet of you to pray. I will join you.
Love love love Agency! I just tried the Silkscreen tinted sunscreen- FABULOUS
Hello, I just started watching your videos, and I love them! I was wondering what you think of Hyaluronic acid? Do you use it? Or is it not needed when using your recommendations?
Have you done any test on your skin, with castor oil as a PM moisturizer? I just turned 61, ouch. I started following you 6 months-ish ago. I came off my very expensive skin care routine (which I have been on for a decade) and began following yours to a T. I’m in absolute LOVE with the changes in my skin. The only difference is I use Trifarotene (script strength) now. Whereas I used Tretinoin for the previous four years.
Thanks Angie for the very helpful information
I agree we need to keep up with products that help us as it helps us to look & feel our best see you soon have a lovely weekend ❤
You are so welcome! Have a great weekend Gladys! 💜
Your videos are such a great resource! Really appreciate all the research you do - makes my life easier! Thank you!
Loved this video Angie ! Thank you so much for inserting your before and after photos and all this great content !❤
Thank you for the great video! Would love a vid on dealing with menopause. Have you heard of Barbara O’Neil? I’ve been using wild yam cream with good results
Hi Christina, I know Angie has interviewed Dr. Barbie Taylor (Menopause Taylor). she's fantastic and you can find the vids out there. Another amazing reference is Dr. Susan Hardwick out of Houston, TX. She's been interviewed a couple times by Dominique Sachse. I'm not sure if Angie has interviewed her, but you can look. I learned SO MUCH from those 2 ladies. Happily on HRT and hope to be on it forever! Best to you.
You are so thorough, Angie! Thank you!
Angie I saw a video by a plastic surgeon pretty famous on TH-cam if I understood him correctly it seems like he was saying that those laser energy devices affects the fat pads negatively in your face and could possibly make you look older. If I understood him correctly over time this happens. Maybe I misunderstood him? Have you heard any of these reports?
I've heard many people are concerned about devices melting fat from the face so I asked the device makers and they say they the home devices don't get hot enough to melt fat. Some professional devices can get hot enough, but Fraxel laser shouldn't if your provider knows which settings to use that don't melt fat.
Would like to see you do an experiment with Microneedling… I have a stamper but never use it
Can you do a video on just Hydration for skin. Rehydrating skin naturally please.
Angie, what do you think about Loreal Revitalift Triple Power moisterizer, ProRetinal, Hyaluronic Acid and Vit. C? All together in one product??? Just found you. I'm learning so much even at 66 years old.
Absolutely tretinoin is the gold star standard for collagen build, for plumping and overall texture improvements. However, the laser procedures you’ve had have absolutely tightened your skin thus minimizing dynamic and expression lines throughout your face-there is a benefit even to the areas not directly treated. I think many people that have had laser treatments need to emphasize that the benefits of tightening thus smoothing are exceptional.
Just to be perfectly clear, it's laser treatment singular, not treatments ie: I had 1 Fraxel laser treatment 8 years ago on my face. Yes lasers are powerful and as I said in the video, results from this type of treatment will be more significant in a much shorter amount of time than with skincare.
I need please , how can I get it
How about drinking collagen?
Your hooded eyes have drastically improved over the years!! Would you please do a video on improving hooded eyes??
I would check out her videos on the Nuface device. I feel like she has talked a lot about her Nuface helping lift her eyes.
I did one a few years ago, here it is: th-cam.com/video/-VU49Sp_lLM/w-d-xo.html
Great video as always, thank you so much:) I wish to have more recommendations from your videos for the products available worldwide, like let's say vitamin C is always Timeless.. but it's not available in Europe, only US, agency as well it's all US:) I believe you have so many subscribers from other parts of the world:)
Geek & Gorgeous makes a great Vitamin C serum that you can get in Europe!
Do you think over-the-counter Differin compare to Tretinoin?
Great job!!!Thank you.
Angie, I am using Curology about 6 years ago and I like it but yesterday checking my accounts I noticed that they increased the price more than $20 !!! I sent an email I hope they answer soon. I love moonlight for my neck too😊
Hi Angie, thank you so much for your videos, they are so helpful. I do have a question about the new Agency eye cream, I know you said in the past that you really don’t use dedicated eye creams, but I was wondering if you were going to give it a try.
The new eye cream is coming in my next shipment of Agency. I don't usually thing there's a need for a separate eye cream but this one will contain prescription tretinoin so I'd say it could be great for people who don't use tretinoin already or those who need a gentler prescription for the eye area.
Oh my gosh how is your jaw so sculpted you look amazing!
Hi Angie! I have learned so much from you and really appreciate all of your testing and knowledge. It has changed my skin so much. I am 67 and I spent many hours lying out in the sun unprotected too. I have a question. I remember you changing from Botox to Dysport. Do you still use Dysport? I have been getting that type for some time now and I love it.
Thank you for all you do!!!
I do still use Dysport when I remember to ask for it specifically... not sure which she uses if I don't specify tho... 🤦🏼♀😆
I’ve been using elf holy hydration with sunscreen
I don't see the NuFace on this video, do you still use it, and would you recommend it over the Nira for jawline? It would be great if you did a Black Friday video again or just an update from last year would be helpful. Thanks so much!!!
I have the current body face mask and I use it almost every morning for ten minutes. Is it possible to overuse it? Great video ❤
Thank you for all the info you give in your videos. It’s appreciated.
Do you have any thoughts on the omnilux men’s version? I’m considering getting the contour but didn’t know if the men’s would be more effective.
hello! I love all of your information. Is Sodium ascorbyl phosphate the same as ascorbic acid?
Hi Angie 😊 just curious what you think about microneedling from time to time for wrinkles and collagen induction? Have you ever had it done? Thanks for all the content! Love your videos!
Did you have a falling out with R&R sunscreen? I can't believe they were not on your sunscreen list. Thanks for the video. Always helpful.
I didn't have a falling out with them but they've been having a separation issue with the sunscreen I love... they thought they had it fixed but my last bottle separated and I've heard from so many viewers who've had bottles that separated too so I though it better to recommend other faves in this video. Hopefully they'll get it sorted out soon!
I’m glad you mentioned this. I returned a bottle back to Target recently because I thought it was old or something. It makes sense now. Maybe the formulation changed when they added new tints. Either way, thank you for always having our backs. I appreciate all your hard work and dedication.
I unfortunately received so many bad bottles from Agency. They were crunchy, wouldn’t pump, some watery etc. I just paid for tretinoin tubes. So much cheaper.
I had the face and neck Omnilux and barely out of warranty they both stopped working so I made a huge financial investment and have two masks I can’t use masks!
you are 61?! I thought you are a well-preserved 55year-old. You look amazing
Can you do a program on Paula’s Choice.
I know it's not skin care per se, but I really like Paula's Choice body wash/shampoo. Finding a good fragrance free shampoo has been a life saver.
Very excited about these tools! Botox I’m still not into, but glad there’s a ton of over options!
Yes, loads of other options besides botox!!
Definitely no Botox and I am
With you on this ❤
Thanks!! Helpful
Hello Angie, Trentinion. I'm following a lot of your tips, by using it only once a week to start and using the sandwich method my question was is it okay on the days I'm not using it to use my red light therapy mask?
I just started to watch her too , and i jsut learned about sandwhich method.
now i wonder what to use in morning ,since im 53 , cyclist and post surgery total hysterectomy
Thanks for the tips, seems most of all it’s consistency and no magic. I started following your skincare 5 years ago and working on sleeping on my back as I think it does have an impact on eye circles and wrinkles.
Wondering if you have tried the mineral sunscreen version of the Haru Haru. Love if you’d also test some of the other buzzed sunscreens in your next round up testing video. Hero tinted, elf whoa glow, Heimish artless glow base, skin1004 water fit sun serum.
I have tried the Haru Haru mineral but didn't love it, I think I talked about it in a faves & fails... I've tested a few of the ones you mentioned in past videos (Hero & Skin 1004), will check into the other 2.
@@AngieHotandFlashythank you so much for the reply! I dug back and yes found your review of hero. Good to know it works only on no makeup days. The skin 1004 wasn’t the mineral one that I heard about, the mineral you tested def was too white cast. Thanks as always for testing all of these for us!
Hi Angie! Thank you so much for the continued well-researched, trustworthy, invaluable content! It is so appreciated!! Could you possibly cover some of the latest, most promising in-office treatments? Lasers, collagen induction injectables, peelings, etc. For instance, I've just heard great things about a laser called UltraClear and would love to hear your meticulously well-researched opinion. These treatments are usually an investment and it would be great to hear from a trustworthy source. Thank you!!❤
Hey ANgie, What if anything do you use under your eyes? I have blue veins, which makes it look like I have bags. I am 58 years old, I use the Omni Lux, and I use the Mini Current Body . ANy suggestions that really work and don't break the bank???? Have a nice day.
I’ve been using Agency as well for about a year now due to your recommendation, I’m curious what tretinoin dose your up to, I’m at 0.070% right now. I’ve noticed such an amazing difference with my skin, fine lines and wrinkles.
My tretinoin is 0.14%
What are your thoughts on waterless skin care using natural retinols?
As always thank you so much for this.
Hi Angie! I follow you from Italy and I think you’re fantastic. With regards to Agency I wonder why the don’t ship to Europe……..😢
Do you put the Trenton under your eyes?
