I'm graduated as MD now, and I love how you use those journals as the references of your content. Definitely a loyal subscriber here, please always keep up the good work in educating people with evidence based facts ❤
@@Nick-gh5bi Yes sometimes, since retinoid is to regulate the skin's turnover rate. Therefore make sure to moisturize the skin before you apply retinoid products.
Of course I want to hear one of my favorite RU-vidrs talk about one of the most interesting skincare ingredients. I clicked this notification SO quickly.
Hope this video helped! And thanks for your patience!!! We’re trying our best but it’s been a tough journey trying to do everything with our small team😭🙏🏼
Riri Morgana & Liah I’ve been waiting patiently for Krave to come to Canada ! Any Inkling when that may be ? 1 Year ? 2 ? 6 months ? I’m excited ! Riri, are these legitimate products from Krave , not copies or whatever ? Also , I want to support Liah & her company & not contribute to any scam / bogus brands masquerading as Krave . Just being careful.
Noir Alibi as far as I concerned there are no krave beauty counterfeit, fake items yet ( but its good to take safety measures, usually if the shop sells other korean beauty brands such as Etude House, Innisfree, Apieu and etc, and not selling weird products that has nothing to do with Kbeauty, than rest assured it’s probably authentic 💓) and the price can be quite similar or even more expensive than Liah’s price as they consider service charge.
If krave beauty did a vitamin A I would definitely be all over it! Also I’d love a video of skincare for people entering the 20s like a preventative type of skincare
I started to use the Retinoid 2% In Squalane from The Ordinary when I turned 24 last year. A week ago someone thought I was still in high school, so I guess it works!!
Did it dry you out a lot? What is your skin type? I am thinking about byuying it and starting to use it, but I'm not sure. My skin doesn't usually get irritated easily from outside(more like from something I eat), and I can take acids without any pain. I use the 30% AHA peeling solution from the Oridinary and it doesn't even sting...But I am still not sure. Would really like to know more about your experience!
@@einsame_Maria My skin is crazy sensitive, and I've had a hard time trying to find a retinol I can use. This is the only retinol I can consistently use! I had no drying or peeling, but I'm careful to not use it too often or with any other actives. To me it sounds like your skin will be able to tolerate it well, you can maybe even try the 5%… Good luck!
Me too! I've started for 2 months using the emulsion version. In my case, the effect on wrinkles is not that noticeable but have a great result on uneven colour and scars!
I found many comments are confusing about retinoid, retinoic acid, and retinol. Here's the explanation Retinoid is a name for a class of chemical compound that are chemically related to Vitamin A. So, retinol and retinoic acid are a type of retinoid Retinol is retinoid with alcohol, chemically called hydroxyl (-OH). That's why the name end with -ol. But this does not mean that retinol has the side effects that alcohol has. Retinoid acid can be metabolised in our body from Retinol and tretinoin is a type of retinoid acid. Please correct me if I'm wrong. XD
I've been paying attention in chemestry class since I got into skincare and I subconsciously knew the difference between retinol and retinoic acid because of their terminations. What ends with -ol or -one is basically an alcohol and -oic is an acid (there are multipe terminations for acids, but that's the most common I think)
The term retinoids is basically an umbrella term for all Vitamin A derivatives. For example we have retinol, tretinoin, adapalene, retinol esters,, granactive retinoid etc.. and they are all retinoinds (vitamin A derivates). The difference is, tretinoin and adapalene are direct retinoic acids and the others are OTC (over the counter) forms which need to be converted into retinoic acid by the skin at a cellular level in order to have the same effect. I hope this makes things clearer for some of you guys :)
@@LiahYoo im excited. Cant wait for this series :-) my skin has been so so much better just by taking your advice. Thank you so much. You have brought back my confidence. (ive suffered from adult acne)
@@hoang-giangnguyen5494 from what i know vitamin C is good for acne and pigmentation. Vitamin A as she said renews the skin and removes wrinkles, so if that is what your concern is get the vitamin A.
I just started Retin-A Micro a week ago and I'm LOVING it so far. I haven't purged yet mind you but I swear my skin already looks better. A little dry around my nose and corners of my mouth, but petroleum jelly takes care of that. I always use sunscreen daily, so it's easy for me. Can't wait to see what happens in a few months.
I have been using tretinoin + hydroquinone for a month now. Been suffering from a moderate acne for 3 months. They changed my life. My face was kinda irritated at first and yeah it dried acne and my whole face. There will be a peeling after 2 days of using it but after the peeling takes off, gurllll your face will be clearer and more beautiful AF.
Woah! I'm not surprised you had a reaction to the retinoid. You went in at the strongest the ordinary offer. I've started at 0.2% (2% retinol in squalane has only 0.2% active ingredient)
I was prescribed 0.1% Tretinoin cream about a year ago and when I first tried it, my skin reacted HORRIBLY. The peeling and redness were so bad, I decided to stop. But a few months passed and I became a lot more educated and mindful about how to take care of my skin and what products to use, so I decided to try my tretinoin again and it’s been AMAZING. I’ve only been using it for about 2 weeks now but there’s already been so much of an improvement and I’m so happy! There’s been no irritation at all and the flaky skin is so much better than before, you can barely even tell! So it goes to show how important it is to know how to treat your skin well to get the best results out of your routine! 😊
Liah, dude, BRING US A BAKUCHIOL PRODUCT, PLEAAASEEE!!! The ones I've seen on the market so far have mixed reviews and very high prices, so they're not exactly affordable or worthwhile as an investment. But if Krave Beauty made a bakuchiol product, then you could design it to be the most effective and the least problematic for the greatest number of people and skin types, and at a fair and reasonable price point. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 PLEASSEEE!!!
@@LiahYoo Absolutely, I'll keep waiting with bated breath, haha. And I am sending optimistic thoughts and positive energy your way! Thank you for replying, btw! Love your videos!❤️👍🏻👊🏻💜
I would love krave beauty to add bakuchiol. It's natural and it's not irritating on the skin like you said. Maybe add the salicylic acid to enhance the results and other brightening ingredients like licorice extract, alpha arbutin, niacinimide etc
Came across one of your skincare vid and I immediately got hooked.I can’t stop myself from going through your skin care videos ,it made a lot of sense.I really like how you put into concept that “less is more “on how you actively influence viewers (including myself )on how we should be taking care of our skin.I love everything,a total eye-opener for me ,been basically doing things wrong .I’m very glad I got to watch your vids and since you’ve introduced your skincare line krave beauty ,cant wait to get my hands on it.I instantly became a big fan of you,and this happened in a span of a day going through your vids.Continue to inspire .xoxo from the Phil❤️
I’ve been using the ordinary granactive 5% in squalane for almost two years and I can honestly say it’s pretty much my go-to. I’m in my late ‘30s and it has truly transformed my skin. Clearer, smoother, just better.
I had struggled a while back with awful cystic acne. I was prescribed retinol from skin ceuticals and it has been my holy grail. I’ve been using it now for a couple months and it’s soo amazing! Transformed my skin so much now I have pigmentation which are now fading (with the help of retinol and other skin care products). Gurls y’all need to trust the timing it takes time but it is so worth it to keep using it consistently
I was watching liah yoo through the years to gain knowledge on how I combat acne during highschool Now, I'm rewatching her vlogs for my case study about skin inflammations in med school huhuhu I love you Liah!! ALWAYS!!
Collagen depletion generally starts around our mid 20’s, depends on gender too, it starts earlier for women. And think about the years of accumulated sun damage from your childhood/teens, I think it’s good to get a head start in your early twenties to reverse and prevent. Tret, sunscreen, Ce ferulic. That’s all you topically need for the foundation of youth!!
I'm surprised you didn't mention Differin considering it's cheap, effective, prescription strength without a prescription as of 2016 and is readily available in the US
Hi Liah!!! 🌴🌴 I have been watching your videos from years now. I have suffered from acne since high school. My skin has been through a lot of treatments since then and that has only sensitized my skin further. Even though my skin is not flawless, it's much better than before and I'm very grateful for it. Change has been real slow but there's improvement and it gives me hope. Your videos were so helpful and informative about various ingredients, products and skin in general. They educated me to look into the ingredients of my skincare and help me protect my skin. Thank you so much for your efforts and time in making these videos! You are doing such an amazing job! Keep it up! All the best and take care! 🌴 P.s. I actually googled some of the references linked in this video and learned more. Thank you once again!
How long did the dryness last for you? I tried it and I couldn't take it. The dryness lasted like 2-3 months for me. Now that I'm older I'm thinking of giving it another try. Thanks!
I've been doing retinol(the new de protini) and after a month of dealing with raw, sensitive skin.... My skin looks years younger. This was so interesting, love the science!
Wow, that was fascinating hearing about the difference between availabilities of doctors/dermatologists in Korea vs. the US and how that has affected their respective beauty industries. I love my skincare, but I have to say, I'd be a bit hardpressed to choose if it was literally that cheap to get laser treatments like that in the US. In some ways it seems like that would be a more effective route paired with sunscreen usage than using 10 different actives, like the US market kind of suggests. Thanks for sharing!
hey laih yoo! Please please continue on the "Bakuchiol" series, it's like skin care discovery made easier to understand with the help of your knowledge! I would absolutely love it if your team wanna incorporate Bakuchiol into a sleeping mask/serum/moisturizer!
I love the Krave beauty line. I use the serum all the time, but would love the added benefit of Bakuchiol. I currently use it in my retinol, but I think a serum from Krave with Bakuchiol would be awesome
This is easily the most helpful video I have ever seen on this topic! It's also interesting what you said about why Korean products don't often have retinol in them - I had been wondering why! Thanks Liah :)
Bakuchiol(babchi) has been used in India since ages not only it helps in preventing aging but it also helps in treating vitiligo and also for glowing skin and acne ,even babchi powder has been injected for purifying the blood.☺☺If you don't want to spend a lot of money on bakuchiol just buy simple Babchi oil it will cost you very less than a brand labeled bakuchiol.
I've always wondered how mature women living in Korea have such youthful skin despite the lack of retinol products. I know a lot of Koreans go to skincare clinics, but for those who don't what kind special ingredients do their anti-aging products contain? Would their youthful appearance be a combination of their diligent application of sunscreen and their fairly healthy diet? Maybe their genes as well. I need to know their secrets haha.
From what I've learned about Koreans, they use sunscreen/hats religiously, they're instilled with excellent skincare habits from childhood, they tend to eat well, plus going to see a dermatologist is relatively cheap and of course the one thing that doesn't usually get talked about.....they do A LOT of well done, subtle/preventative plastic surgery and procedures.
Hi Liah! 🤗 I have just started watching your videos this week. It's an understatement for me to simply say that I find them SO informative! A HUGE thanks to you for that! After watching your video about gentle anti-aging, I went ahead and bought the Inkey List's bakuchiol product. I can't wait to try it! I also have Krave's Great Barrier Relief coming in the mail soon. I can't wait to try these products! I align a lot with Krave's mission. I'm just absolutely excited about everything from your line! So when I watched this particular video, I was excited to hear you ask if us viewers would like for Krave to make a bakuchiol product. I say, YES ABSOLUTELY, PLEASE! 🙏🙏🙏
Oh my gosh! I was just talking about retinoic acid with my best friend! She’s currently using a Tretinoin cream as prescribed by her derma. But i was anxious when she wasn’t using moisturizer after using it.. and now she’s peeling. thanks for clearing everything up! Keep inspiring ppl! Love lots! ❤️
Omg, I watch her videos from time to time and I didn't know that Krave Beauty is her skincare brand. I've heard good things about Krave beauty but now I have all the more reason to purchase skincare items from the brand :))
Absolutely love this type of vid. Who doesn't want to know more about the stuff they are putting on their face???? Does Krave Beauty ship to the UK?? I really hope so. Please formulate non irritating forms of Retin A, that would be an absolute godsend. Much love and respect to you and your colleagues, xxx 💕💕💕xxx
When I was 16-19 I used prescription tretinoin that absolutely wrecked my skin and that scared me away from retinol, but I decided to try retinoids for the first time in years by getting the DE retinol cream. I didn't find it irritating, I applied it over my moisturiser and used rosehip seed oil on top. I've only used it for 2 weeks so I can't say I've seen much of a difference, but I hope it will help beat my acne and get all the gunk out from under my skin
are you guys working on a moisturizer with ceramides? because i feel like cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen are THE 3 essentials... and i trust krave beauty products 😉
Tadashi Stark Our next product will be a nourishing serum that aims to repair a damaged skin barrier so, it does contain ceramides and all sorts of skin friendly ingredients💕
Tadashi Stark check out A. Florence Skincare. I use tretinoin and use their skin barrier restoring oil..and they also have a moisturizer to rebuild the skin barrier.
If your looking for a more budget-friendly moisturizer, I definitely recommend the Cerave moisturizing cream with ceramides and hyaluronic acid (in the tub). I’ve been using it for 4 months and it has helped my skin. I live in a really cold place so my face would always be dry but this really fixed and hydrated my face.
Skin science is advancing in a very high speed. I wish they discover an all rounder product that can vanish all the pimples from my face without having to do much. The struggle is real😂😂😂 Nice and very informative video Liah💞
Love these ingredient series! It would be super nice if you would at a super short summary (overview visually maybe even) of the things you discuss. We hear so many new things, that at times it can be difficult to follow. So maybe short conclusion at the end!
Yes please bring a product with Bakuchiol! Your products are affordable as opposed to so many products on the market. Also, could you do an updated video on repairing skin barrier? It would be so helpful to know if your routine has changed when it comes to repairing. Thank you!
I would LOVE if you released products with these ingredients mentioned. I’d be so quick to buy!!!! I know you put so much heart and research in your products, which is why I’d be so eager to buy. Please!
Always consult a doctor of course but in case no one has mentioned it already, retinoid/retinol/tretinoin products can be harmful to a developing baby when pregnant. More information is needed, but it's something to consider if you become pregnant and have been using a vitamin A product. You might want to switch it out for the time being. But once again, it's always up to you to weigh pros and cons in addition to any advice from your doctor. No hate, just something I thought was useful knowledge that people might be unaware of :)
Retinoid cured my acne, i had tried so many things i had tried LITERALLY EVERYTHING OUR THERE ! from complicated skin care routines to home remedies. ever since my dermatologist gave me retinoid my acne was so much better 👍 to this day i have no pimples! only acne scars
Liah, I have just discovered Krave and I am hooked! Thank you for making wonderful products at decent prices. If you could make an anti-aging product that included Bakuchiol, it would be amazing!
I switched between the ordinary ones and a doctor's prescription, it works wonders for my homonal acne, but, everyone that would like to use this, needs to know, that you have to be consistent with it and your skin will be dry A.F.
Will using retinoic acid, tretinoin, retinol etc in 20-es age makes our skin lazy to reproduce the collagen because it's always helped and when we become 50 it doesn't work anymore?
Retinoids enhance your skin's natural cellular processes. It doesn't make the skin lazy, on the other hand it makes it work harder like how it was in your childhood.
I'm so sorry for this late reply but you can find them on Shopee (cosblah.my / kosatoz.my )! The prices range from around RM78 - RM130 for what I've seen.
I'm so thankful for your videos, they are so informative and well put-together!! I've been following a lot of your advice (namely reducing the number of steps in my routine) and product recommendations, my skin hasn't looked this great in months! :D Thank you so much!!
I always learn so much from your videos! Now I make sure to have a pen and paper handy to jot down notes. THANK YOU for making me a skincare nerd!!! 👩🏫
After the long long long journey that I've been through, finally you got me what to do and not to with the retinol/retinoid acid. I've been using this item for 2weeks and my acne pop-out like i really didn't have that kind of acne before. So i stop that and back to my lovely bha. After using bha for 2-3weeks, then it goes for purging again (maybe against the retinoid, idk). Omgg thank youuu
Your explanation was so clear even though I am italian and English is not my mother language... some of the products you mentioned are not sold here...I look forward to try the new products of The ordinary
My Doctor said it’s still a steroid which penetrates skin you don’t need to use it in a long run and even carcinogenic . Then i stopped using it. All trans- retinoic acid(Tretinoin) are banned for use in Europe. Kindly share your views.
Liah! Yet another great informative video. I personally started Refissa about three years ago (mid 40’s) and it has done wonders for my skin. It took about 1.5 years to see the full results but this is only because I started off very slowly to reduce irritation (I have very sensitive skin). It took about eight months to get myself acclimated enough to use seven days a week. I am so pleased I stayed steady and patient. Yes! I think it would be great if you had a product containing Bakuchiol. I wonder, would this make the perfect neck solution if it did not contain BHA? I have been following your videos for quite some time. I am so proud of you for following your dreams. ❤️
so thankful you came out with this video. at the perfect timing too. i've been looking into retinol for the past few days but would have liked more info so thank you for this!!
I love tretinoin. Tretinoin help thoses who had FA in their maintenance routine. My routine now is : I don't exfoliate my face I just use tretinoin after washing , hydrating and moisturizing my skin , is my last step at night and I didn't peel at all because I'm moisturizing before which is called buffering. Also don't forget sunscreen even at home. The texture of my skin is so much better but the purging in the beginning lasted from week 2 to 7 , it was hard but here we are , tret works slowly but is worth it . The problem right now is that I have a light olive skin on my face and my body is darker because my doctor in the past (years ago) gave me hydroquinone with tret ( that's how I found out tret) to treat hyperpigmentation which is something I really regret cause back then I didn't know anything about skincare, I peeled, I used too much product, I didn moisturized or used sunscreen and now I do thank God. I want an even skin tone but I can't get too much sun exposure even though I use sunscreen because I'm using tret but I will give it a try and see what happens, I will do it slowly day by day.
Please have Retinol on the Krave Beauty line. Retinol is the love of my life. It does not irritate me because I use it with Oat So Simple, which I know colloidal oatmeal soothes any irritation.
