Sorry I was so much in a rush that I forgot. But I wore the same outfit with the same shoes (different bag bought years ago in a random small boutique in South India) last year and shared pictures on Instagram. They are actually my last pictures on IG : instagram.com/p/CxztCa7Ia0K/?igsh=cm51dnR5anZ4enNq
Thank you so much. The dress is old it's from the French brand Caroll. I bought the bag on sale 40% off that is till ongoing. I left the link in the description box.
thanks for the video !! well explained but i have a question about the second product " SVR Sun Secure Invisible Moisturizing Milk SPF50+ 250ml" is it non-comedogenic ?
. Hi, non-comedogenic is not a regulated term. Any brand can use it if they want to. There is no test to show that a product is comedogenic or not. The only thing that Dermatologists do not recommend to people with oily/acne prone skin is to prevent using pure oil on the face or moisturizer with a high level of oil in it. There are plenty of products that I have used that broke me out although they're made for acne-prone skin or supposed to be non-comedogenic, or perfect for sensitive skin..... But those same products may work wonders on others. So those terms can't be used as a reference. All you can do is to prevent products with ingredients that cause your skin to break out if you know them.... Otherwise the only way to find out is to test a product and hope for the best.
Thank you for this review, I am keen to try the ultra light Avene SPF 50 as I can't bear the greasy/tacky feel of sunscreen on my skin. I have been using an Ultrasun SPF 30 for a while now, under makeup, which has been fine, but I have only just realised I have not been using enough. I actually got one of my kitchen measuring spoons the other morning so I could measure out 1/4 tsp for my face - I got a shock. I managed to cover my face 3 times and I think there was still a bit left in the spoon! It was certainly an eye-opener. Unfortunately, my skin felt quite greasy afterwards and makeup didn't sit as well. A friend was diagnosed with skin cancer last year, so although I have been trying to be careful myself for a number of years, it has prompted me to do a bit more research and try and ensure I am doing the best I can in terms of protecting my skin.
Hi and thank you for sharing your story. I hope this sunscreen will work for you otherwise I have a playlist where I have reviewed many other sunscreens. Hope it helps !
I am not the only one who does not put all of their products on a pedestal then... But I must say that their sunscreens are way better than most European or American brands.
Sorry to hear that. If your skin is dehydrated you should watch the video I am posting later today because you may find something for that you'll like.
I absolutely love it. It has become one of my staple. You can easily adjust the level of moisture depending on the quantity of products you apply which is not the case with every moisturizer. For the summer my oily skin needs something lighter but I will buy it again in next fall/winter/spring. They often have discounts which makes it worth it when you look at the ration price/quantity. I think that dry skin could also enjoy it in the summer and normal skin types can enjoy it all year around. It's one of my best discovery this year.
Ooh I absolutely love SVR Sun Secure Cream SPF50. It's one of the best sunscreens I have ever used. It doesn't give me any irritation and it's not too greasy on my skin. Mine has that monoï scent which I'm not a big fan of but it's fine. I'm rosacea prone but the fragrance doesn't trigger much redness for me. Thank you for this in depth review, liked and subscribed! I also have oily skin so it's hard to find a right fit for sunscreen. You have beautiful skin btw!
Thank you for your feedback and for the compliment ! I am glad you like it too. It is sold in a small and big packagings but in France the fragrance-free version can only be found in the big packaging !
Hi, do you know what websites will ship to USA? Have you tried the (spritz) spray version? I won't be able to buy this one because it's in aerosol form. Thank you
Hi, I have heard that www.pharmashopdiscount.com/ and www.pharmashopi.com/ do ship French skincare to the USA but I have not tried it myself. I only tried the spritz / oil base body sunscreen called "eau solaire hydratante" the translation would be close to moisturizing sunny water; the one that comes in a transparent bottle. I liked it too. I just prefer the crackling milk better. Hope it helps and if you buy from those websites please let me know how it is so I can advise other American based viewers better. Thanks !
Maybe.... I don't have any French, American, Japanese brandS that work perfectly for me. Some works and some don't. I have reviewed several K beauty products that I love and work great for me. This product and others did not. Rarely can everything from one brand, let alone all brands from one country work for anyone.
Thank you for the video! I have the Hyaluron Active series by Avene and i love them! But, when it comes to sunscreens, the clearance one was very shiny and greasy (regardless the fact that it is marketed for oily skin). Now, for the Avene fluid invisible sunscreen, if you see at the Whats in my jar website, you will see that it does Not deliver the claimed sun protection, because of the lower concentration of sun filters!!! It was a shock for me!
Hi and thank you for sharing information. I did not know the "what's in my jar" website so I looked it up, but for the sunscreen you mentioned... I am confused. Avène is a French brand. French brands do not disclose the concentration of each sunscreen ingredient because they don't have to, unlike US brands that must do it under FDA US law. This website disclosed very specific concentrations of the sunscreen ingredients which has never been communicated by the brand... 1.7% or 2.4%... They say that the UV filters are in very low concentration but do not say what would be the right concentration for each filter , for those specific filters and for those specific 4 filters altogether in this specific formula. That is 3 very different things. Avobenzone (an old chemical filter) and ethylhexyl triazone ( a recent chemical filter) for instance are different chemical/organic filters. The concentration required for each individual filter is going to differ but they just slumped all chemical filters together and make the same assessment for all. Plus from what I see this is an American website and those filters have not been used or studied the same in the US yet since they are still not allowed by the FDA. So what is truly their knowledge of those specific filters? What I see is only generalizations and approximations. For instance they say chemical sunscreen rarely give a "white cast". Is it a review about this sunscreen or general information about chemical sunscreens.... If it's general information why do they associate it with a specific product. I checked and saw that this website use an AI algorithm for its "reviews". I also see that there is no cosmetic chemist in their teams who could adjust or analyse the results given by the AI. Yes there is a Dermatologist in their team but Dermatologist are not cosmetic chemists they don't have the degree the expertise the experience and the network of other cosmetic chemists to get even more knowledge. They are not the one creating products in the lab of following cosmetic legislations and chemist rules in the creation of those products. I am actually very surprised that a Physician would agree to be associated to this website when Dr are usually all about personalization, being specific, and accurate... To be honest I trust the brand Avène more than this website. Avène has been around in France for many years and to my knowledge they never faced a scandal and seem to have a solid team of cosmetic chemists. There was a sunscreen scandal in France many years ago (lower SPF than what's advertised) I remember, but Avène to my knowledge was not part of it. Also their suncreens are used a lot here in the seummer and so far I did not hear about consumers complaints... So unless a proper lab, check this sunscreen and find a lower SPF that what is advertised like it happened with Purito and many other Korean brands I would trust them. But yes when it comes to sunscreens and what the brand tells us you can only trust the brand and hope they did their job which is why when I review sunscreens I do not spend that much time analysing such or such sunscreen ingredients nor I do I repeat what the brand says as facts since I don't know. Nobody know... They say this filter is better, this filter fight blue light but they do their own study to do so.... So we won't know until large independent studies are done. And those studies would only be done on each filter not entire products. Complicated...That's why I prefer to say what the brand tells us..... Because only a proper lab analysis could tell us the truth. Otherwise I just try to know more about brands to see if they are trustworthy or not... that's the best I can do.
@@HereDiianas Thank you for your answer! Initially, as i have noted, i would love to keep my clearance sunscreen, as it felt really comfortable on my face, but i couldn't, since it turned out extremely shiny on my oily skin. And since i absolutely love Avene, and saw that on your skin, the ultra fluid sunscreen looks similar to the way that Eucerin Oil control dry touch looks on my skin, i am even more tempted to try the ultra fluid! It is an opportunity to rule out the alcohol of Eucerin (also with the Eucerin one, in extreme heat, i feel that it kind of melts with the sweat on my skin, ending in white streaks, that are not so flatering). So, i might give the Avene one a try and see how it keeps with the extremely hot, and sometimes humid, Greek summer! One thing i don't understand is why Avene recomments applying only one finger of sunscreen for the face and neck, since the correct amount is 1/4 of a teaspoon (that is approximately two fingers of product). Ps: and yes, you are abolutely correct! There is not such a thing as a truly matte sunscreen, for oily skin! 😉
Thank you so much, that's so nice. I am wearing Lisa Eldridge Luxuriously Lucent lipstick "Love of my life" paired with Charlotte Tilbury lip pencil "Pillow talk intense". I have a video about my favourite makeup products and this lipstick and lip pencil are in it. My foundation here is also from Lisa Eldridge and I have a full review on it on this channel also. Just check my "makeup playlist" if you want to know more....
Thank you so much for this great review! i bought the ultra fluid last month and i am disappointed with it. I have a light olive skin tone with combination sensitive skin. It is very visible on my face, leaves white streaks. And it dries so quickly, i have to put it on so fast, otherwise it starts pilling. So i didn’t dare to put makeup on top of it. I was afraid that foundation will take off the sunscreen, leaving me unprotected. My search for the sunscreen continues.. Love from the Netherlands
Hi and sorry to hear that.... Seems that how dark or light your skin is matters but also the undertone could be a problem with this sunscreen. And I know that olive skin tones are not often considered.... So thank you for leaving your feedback. You should check out my sunscreens playlist. I have reviewed many sunscreens and many are great especially Asian ones which are often 100% invisible unless you prefer to focus on European ones...
Thank you for the review. The Ultra Fluid also comes with a tinted version, would love to see a review on that too. Also, the labeled SPF for the non-tinted is only 50, while the tinted version is 50+.
Hi and thank you for the information. I did not even know that they have a fragrance-free tinted version. They have one tint only and I am used to see their one tint in the French pharmacies. That's not a tint for any Black person, so I won't be able to test it myself.... Sorry... For the label 50 or 50+ honnestly I am fine with both. They are both high protection and enough if you apply the sunscreen properly.
@jam6web84 Interesting, I wonder about her skin tone... Because they only have one tint and that is a French brand so obviously the tint should at least match a range of "white" skin tones and even one tint can't cover all white skin tones... I am gone wait to see a video review myself. I am intrigued now...
@@HereDiianas actually there are video reviews here in yt featuring this product, most of them are from spain and south america. The pigment appears deeper in color which i think would be more appropriate for medium to deep skin tone than light skin.
I’ve had concerns with this product as well. My skin is sensitive and dry and it just gives me a burning sensation which is opposite of what the product claims.
Hi! If only I had seen your message earlier. I have an American friend in the US right now but she is coming back to France in 2 days only... and the brand mainly sell in the US. The deep shade is only available on their US website right now and they don't ship outside the US...I did not even know that they had launched a deep tint. You taught me something... I would definitely review it when I can get a hold of it. Thanks for sharing this information.
Hi ! I checked this serum and at least they do not claim "1 ingredient only" and I see the exact same ingredients list of this serum everywhere. So you don't have 5 different ingredients list on the Internet for the same product which would be confusing. What I don't like is that again they don't share the full ingredient list. Preservatives are not listed (at least not on their website. I don't know about their packaging...). From what SKIN1004 explains, in Korea the ingredient "centella asiatica extract" is a liquid solution of centella+ingredientS/solvantS that help to extract the Centella.... so yes 95% is possible since the main solvant could well be 99%water or 97% water+glycerin or 98%water+butylen glycol..... So the 95% does not represent centella itself but centella+solvants which is too confusing for me. And we don't know what part of centella (the roots, the leaves, the water....). Many people just tend to trust brands which is fine but I don't, and the experience with skin1004 made me even less trustful when it comes to product using centella. For me this type of formula is too confusing and does not help me make a good conclusion on a product before buying it. So that's not a product I could buy myself (which does not say anything about its quality, that's just how I feel). Because of that I personally don't look for specific centella....products anymore but if I come across a face moisturizer or brightening serum that aslo contains centella I am not opposed to it but I would only care if I see specific centella components listed which is more specific and not just "centella asiatica extract" which is a vague information and can be many different things (leaf extracts, roots extracts, water extracts.....+ water+butylen glycol +........). At least the components are listed as individual ingredient in the INCI ingredients list in the right order of concentration in the product if you know what I mean... There are many beneficial components of centella asiatica. Centella Asiatica has many components: Asiaticoside, Centelloside,Madecassoside,Moside, Thankuniside,Sceffoleoside,Centellose,Asiatic acid, Centellic acid,Madecassic acid, Terminolic acid. So I would prefer to look for products with some of those ingredients. The day I'll come across such a product I'll definitely share it. Sorry I could not help you more !
@@HereDiianas isn’t Glycereth-26 it’s solvent? I think it is the most concentrated centella serum I’ve seen so far, just look at their serum liquid color compared to other centella serums
Hi and sorry for responding only now. RU-vid does not always warn me about new comments. Glycereth-26 doe many things. It is an emollient, a moisturizing ingredient, a thickener and can also be a solvent just like glycerin. It could not give this product its watery/like liquid texture by itself since one of its properties is to make a liquid solution thicker.
I find Korean skincare misleading that’s why I only use it for skin barrier and hydration and I use products like the ordinary for actives cuz they always tell you the percentage of their products and real ingredients
I agree that when it comes to activesThe Ordinary is the most open regarding the concentration of important ingredients. Before the huge success of that brand, it was very rare for a brand to share such information.
now I have a habit of checking "new" ingredients. like when I see palmitic acid, stearic acid, or any other ingredients with high comedogenicity I will pay attention to the ingredients order too. I have very oily and acne prone skin, when I use only tetrinoin and plants oil (like rosehip oil) I'm fine. but when I use some skincare products, it will automatically break me out 😥😥I use dr bronner's castile soap to wash my face, ginseng essence from beauty of joseon, and red bean water gel also from beauty of joseon. apart of that my favorite are hanyul yuja sleeping mask and yuja serum. Oh something that I really like to use is mamonde rose PHA 7% liquid mask. this is super good. these products didn't break me out, recommended~!
Hi, and I am glad you found you own way on finding out what may break you out. The comedogenic list that circulates online does not help me at all unfortunately. My skin is fine with many ingredients liste as highly comedogenic so I just have to rely on how my skin reacts to things. But I know from experience that using plain oils on my face, no matter the oil (rosehip oil, jojoba oil and others....) always break me out. So I avoid face cream with a high concentration of oil. But weirdly my skin seems fine with shea butter as long as it's not 100% of course but diluted in a cream. I have used a cream with 10% shea butter and my skin was fine. Also most exfoliating acids in leave-one forms like glycolic acid creams or salycilic acid toners, lactic acid serums are a big NO NO for me. But every year I add new ingredients on my NOT FOR ME list lol
Hello! About the Paul's Choice toner. For the amount you get, the price is ridiculous. I have the 2% salicylic acid serum from The Ordinary and it's great and costs a fraction of the price. Sorry to hear that it doesn't work for you, though! La Roche-Posay makes a nice salicylic acid cleanser, too 💙
Thanks for the comment and I agree that the price of the Paula's Choice toner is ridiculous . Unfortunately since this brand has been bought out by a big group they keep on increasing the price to ridiculous level even on her simple formulation which is very unfortunate...
There is ingredient list, just not at that package-Centella asiatica, water, glycerol, butylenglykol, 1,2 hexandiol, fenoxyethanol,celulose and xantan.
Hi and thank you for your comment, I don't know where you get this list but that list can't be the right inci list. First the inci name of centella asiatica is not centella asiatica but centella asiatica extract and brands can't just put any name on the ingredient list since there is a standard that must be followed. Also per what the brand said and from common sense in chemistry if you need a solvant that contain water to get a plant extract for your formulation then the extract itself obviously can't be the first ingredient. The inci list must list the right inci name of the ingredients, but also, they must be listed in the right order of concentration. At 06:14 in the video I shared the ingredient list that the brand itself shared on their Instagram and it does not match the list you are giving. That's also a problem I shared in the video. There are several list going around and none of them make sense. If one day that brand gets big enough to be sold in big stores that must be careful with cosmetic legislation to not get sued with the risk of loosing a lot of money like Sephora then we'll probably finally get the proper inci ingredient list.
Lovely video. I have never used SPF only started after 40! I have natural tanned skin and local people in my origin country who are exposed to outdoors and sun also have perfect skin , they just take precautions and wear any skin barrel or nothing. I usually use ones by Heliocare or mesoesthetic Spanish brands or brands suited to tanned skins that leave no white cast. The SPF marketing is multi dollar industry but for me based on clinical trials and Fitzpatrick rating of skin Im not sure every skin type needs this. My logic being would you change the habitat of apolar bear and take it to the beach? it genetics melanin content etc is different. Prevention is better than slapping on lots of expensive no confirmation that these help against skin cancer etc or ageing is all based on genetics with your skin having the best skin which dont age externally compared to pale far skinned Fitzpatrick 1 that would burn in sun. Korean brands are also good on asian/African skin no white cast. Lovely review and naturally beautiful skin. Best wishes.
Thank you for your comment and I agree with you. I have many other sunscreen reviews and Japanese and Korean brands are the most invisible but not the best under makeup for oily skin. Check my sunscreens playlist... The Dr Sam's sunscreens are still my favourite to use under makeup and I think that they reformulate the mineral one because it does not peel on me anymore. I also agree that people with dark skin Black or Asians.... when it comes to skin exposure can get away with simple mindful and smart exposure to the sun without the need of sunscreen. But if you suffer from hyperpigmentation, albinism or use certain medications, like acne medication or even just cosmetics to fight acne like I do then in those cases sunscreen is also important. I wear sunscreen mainly to fight hyperpigmentation on my face. For my body I rarely use sunscreen even in the summer unless I am in a group that wants to spend the afternoon at the beach in July (usually my white friends lol) . But if it's just me and my black and asian friends we would go to the beach early in the morning or very late in the afternoon without sunscreen on my body (still sunscreen on my face) and my skin is completely fine.
I think you should watch this guy he broke down several centella products and explains what it means when something is 100% extract. He also explains even though all the products have centella but not all centella products works the same. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZUPWVT4e_Ho.htmlsi=NUsCc-L59pqbQhyw
Oh no friend the more you rubbed the worse it got! 😢😭😅🤣 CoTz Flawless Complexion SPF 50 Color: Light Tint worked very well for me, but now they have a richly tinted that I'm excited to try and see if it's perfect!
Yes I saw that they have even more options now although the regular tint was already the best mineral sunscreen option on dark skin. So I am glad they still expanded the color range to match even the deepest of dark skin.
jaime beaucoup . cest frais elegant et lumineux.. et simple a reproduire.Vos dents sont extremement blanches. pourrais tu nous faire une video sur comment maintenir les dents blanches. merci
Bonjour et merci beaucoup. Honnêtement pour mes dents je ne fais rien de spécial. J'ai toujours eu les dents blanches naturellement. Mais aussi je ne fume pas, je ne bois ni alcool, café ni thé et que très rarement des sodas et jus. Je mange aussi assez équilibré en général et je pense que cela aide beaucoup.
I came across this video while doing research on the brand and the product you used that broke you out. I'm not sure if I completely understand your issue with this brand or other Korean brands. The omission of preservatives and stabilizers fits Korean skincare standards it's not like niacinamide or azelaic acid was added. When I looked into this topic (you aren't the first person to mention the labelling) I saw someone more familiar with Korean vs American skincare write that its similar to omitting Citric Acid from a pie. Personally, I don't think omitting preservatives is the same as mario badescu adding steroids to his products without telling customers, however, trust is really important when seeking out skincare and if your trust is violated or you feel the Korean brand(s) are confusing you are right to spend where your money gives you more value.
Hi and sorry to only see your comments now... If I had bought this product in Korea I would have not done this video. Each country has its own rule. But when a brand chooses to sell abroad they have to follow the legislation of that country otherwise it's not a fair competition anymore. My issue is simply with any brands that do not follow the regulations of the country where they sell their products. In this case of this brand they doubled down with a very misleading marketing on their webisite and with international sponsorships ( not just Koreans). I have a video about sunscreens I will never buy for different reasons and on that video I talked about 2 UK brands which are also very misleading in their marketing and who are clearly lying when it comes to their ingredient list. They don't follow the legislation of their own country. There is not enough control and unfortunately some companies profit from it. Regarding this product, if I had been more careful I would have just not bought it .I usually notice those things beforehand. But for this product like many I just followed the movement without thinking twice. I understand that most people don't even look at the ingredient list, don't care about it and buy their skincare solely based on the marketing and/or reviews but that's not my case. Transparency is how I choose to try and buy one product over another and since I have extremely sensitive skin that also allows me to minimize buying products that may not work for me. When I break out from a product I check the ingredient list to see if there is a new ingredient I had never tried before or an ingredient I already suspected. In my case all ingredients matter not just the main active. That's what it is to have true hypersensitive skin. That's not an exact science but I have been doing for years and that helps me a lot creating my own list of ingredient my skin does not like. When brands don't do it then I can't even start to investigate if I don't even have the full information. Many people are scared of parabens now. Not me. But that is a choice for each customer to choose to use it or not. Parabens are preservatives that are still used despite its bad reputation. But for those who wishes to avoid it... How can they do it when preservatives are not shown. Others have sensitivity with the now commun paraben phenoxyetanol.... Those information are important for those consumers. It's like people who have allergies with food. They have to check every single ingredients when others just grab a pack of chips without thinking. Different customers different problems, issue, expectations. But the legislation has been made in order to have full transparency in Europe + North America. Beyond that I also don't have unlimited money so since I have to make choices I'd rather focus on brands who at least follow the legislation. There are way enough brands to choose from. Hope that help you understand my stand on this a little bit more.
@@HereDiianas I understand. thank you for your update. im not a skincare expert and I had a playlist of multiple videos talking about this product to guage if it was a good fit for me. I can understand not wanting to waste time or money on a brand that doesn't follow different countries regulations especially if something made you react. take care
I love this look! Soft, subtle, but effective. I recently had my makeup done professionally, just to.get some tips. I've had the same look since I was 16: foundation, blush and mascara, but now I want to use lipstick and eyeshadow. But anyway, you look beautiful!
I should start doing them again towards the end of spring. I only want to do one once I am satisfied enough with all the products I use but it seems more difficult for me to find hair products than work for me compare to skincare than works for me...
