Hi Gemma. Thank you so much!! It was so wonderful to see Maysama Green Rooibos Serum featured in your video today. 🙏 A few people have asked about the recommended protocol, so I’m going to state it here in case you want pin 📌 it. Apply serum to clean face 15-20 minutes before your red LED light treatment ( to allow time for antioxidants to be absorbed by your skin). Then carry LED treatment for the time recommended by the manufacturer of your red light device (usually 10 minutes). Afterward, no need to wash off serum, just continue with the rest of your skincare regime. Wishing you and your beautiful skincare community a lovely Sunday evening. Best wishes Bev - Maysama 💚
Really wish this product was not so pricey and expensive families are trying to keep food on the table I don’t wanna pay this much money for a product your prices are extremely high
Beautiful look, Gemma! I recently started using Argireline and Matrixyl on Rob’s recommendation, and I saw significant results within a week. A week! It’s even helping with a compression wrinkle above my lip that I’ve been treating for years.
Perfect explanation! From another South African🤍 Some extra info for those who do not know. Rooibos (Aspalathus Linearis) is a herbal tea, mostly grown in the Cederberg area in the Cape Province.☕
Howzit there. South African living in France here. Try brewing a strong cup of rooibos, cool and put into a small spray bottle. Its an excellent face toner 🇿🇦
43 yr old dad here. I have sensitive skin as well. I use CosRx snail mucin essence and all in one cream. I also use CosRx Propolis light ampule liquid and CosRx snail gel cleanser. I use TheOrdinary Argireline, caffeine eye solution, and multi peptide copper- all three from the ordinary. And if skin really dry I use Tula 24.7 moisturizer.
Cheaper to use green tea teabag. Soak with hot water. Wait till cool and use cotton pad to put on face 15 mins before led mask. Works even better as pure.
What I don't hear mentioned a lot is that - rather than getting botox - you can actually be mindful of your own expressions and train yourself to not use/overuse them. Frowning, raising eyebrows, squinting are all things that are within your control. You just have be conscious when you are making these expressions and stop yourself from doing them best you can. It feels super awkward at first but gets easier over time. Additionally I recommend getting sunglasses/a brimmed hat/staying out of the sun to avoid squinting involuntarily from the brightness. I realized around age 20 that making expressions and sleeping on my face caused wrinkles that would not disappear quickly anymore. Which is when I made a concerted effort to control my expressions and train myself to sleep on my back. I am happy to report that now age 36 I have no static wrinkles whatsoever! (I have other skin issues, but hey at least I have that going for me!)
The pillow was a total game changer for me. Was getting permanent wrinkles from my pillow that a silk pillowcase did not help with, but this pillow and gua sha have almost totally erased them. And Matrixyl I have been using for years and I believe it has made a wonderful effect on the few lines I have. People are shocked at my age. But Agreline was a real game changer. It is not better than botox but for the not noticeable difference it is well worth the effort and is so reasonably priced. I agree absolutely with you. These products are stand outs as far as I'm concerned and have wonderful results with them.
I trained myself to sleep on my back and now I'm sleeping on my back for 5 years but I couldn't find the right pillow that didn't give me neck pain until I found out about sleep&glow pillow from Dr. Ray channel and I bought the one for people who sleep on their backs or want to train themselves what a difference the best pillow! A little pricey but it's worth it every penny.
Hi Gemma. I can't be the only one who gets excited when you post a video. I have followed so many of your suggestions. What I get confused about is the order I should apply my skin care. At the moment, in the evening I remove my makeup with a cleansing balm, then cleanse with a milk cleanser. I then use my current body LED mask. Following that, I use a toner, then a dark spot corrector, then Argireline, trentinoin, eye cream and finally a moisturiser. In the morning, I cleanse, tone, eye cream, moisturiser and SPF. Once a week I use Hyaluronic acid (I was using this daily but it makes my skin peel). Am I doing all this correctly? I have noticed a remarkable difference in my skin which for the first 62 years was severely neglected. Many thanks.
It took months to get to the stage where I could use it daily. My doctor told me I could use it daily....what a disaster! Stopped using it for 2 months then started once a week and gradually built it up.
I think you've answered your own question by saying you've seen a remarkable difference Kim. If your skin is liking it...keep doing it! Thank you for your kindness xx
Thanks so much. I have been aware of these products and have them now and am just beginning to really get them tucked into my daily routine. The only thing is that I checked out the pillow and was only getting 10% rather than 15%. I notified the company to see if it can be corrected. Always really enjoy your videos. Am learning a lot.
Just came across your channel. Interesting content I have to say, love it! As far as the side sleeping goes. I am sure the pillow does work well, if there is no physical contact with the face then of course that would help. However, having said that, gravity is still there, even if the face does not touch any surface, no pillow will help with that. So side sleeping in general is not a helpful thing for wrinkles. For years and years I did not make the connection as to why I have a deeper line (nasolabial fold) on one side of my face compared to the other. Then finally the Eureka moment and I realized that it was from sleeping on this side. But not cause the pillow creased my skin, actually I had the deeper line on the OPPOSITE side, the side that did not touch anything. It was the effect of gravity, no denying it. Once the realizaton hit, I taught myself to sleep on my back. Best decision ever. It did not completely remove the line on that side (I guess hard to un-do over 40 years of sleeping like that) but it has improved a lot and the line is much less pronounced now. Just thought I would share as this is something so simple that everyone can teach themselves to do and it is totally free.
Great video Gemma, thank you. Will you be doing a video on where and when to insert these into your skin care routine. I strugge with that, especially because mornings are fast and furious. lol
Me too - currently using TO Hyaluronic + Argirelene … where do I fit in Niacinamide and Matryxal? Both sound beneficial for my 50+ skin. I’ve also recently started using Medik8 Retinal (evening only, x2 per week for now). Love your videos 😊
I will definitely be purchasing the green tea extract to use alongside my LED devices. The serum instructions state that it should be applied 15 to 20 minutes prior to using your LED device and then not to wash the serum off afterwards. They suggest continuing with your daily skin care routine. That being said my next serum i would be my vitamin C from t”Timeless”… I wonder if you have any opinion about applying this or any other serums directly on top of the green tea. What is your experience been? Or do you wash your face and start with a clean canvas? Thank you… I enjoy every one of your videos I find you are honest, sincere, and real
Gemma ty so much for the content you produce. Your RU-vid videos show that you have researched, tested, extensive knowledge of ingredients, and so much more. You have helped me take care ofy 57 yo skin! You (and your mum) are so great to watch! Thank you and greetings from the U.S.!
Hi Jemma I am currently using Dermatica after watching one of your videos, if I use any of the products you have just reviewed, where would I fit them into my anti - ageing routine please ?
Speaking of muscles contracting repetitively and causing wrinkles, what’s your opinion on “face exercises” or “face yoga” to improves skin health and anti-aging? I have been so unsure if I should stick with it or if it will actually speed up my wrinkles!!
I suffer with Rosacea, mainly on my nose. I use a Led mask, helps so much with the redness. Always used it after I’ve washed my face so interesting to hear about the green tea serum. 😊
I have a lot of redness permanent on the nose too which i think were caused by going entire life without sunblock only started using sunblock religiously in recent years and wondered what would be best treatment for redness thought maybe laser resurfacing or chemical peels 🤔
I am a huge advocate of peptides..I actually use them with my current body led light mask and Nira laser..I have not used green tea exclusively however, that ingredient is in some of my products..the research with led light and red light is very exciting... thank you Gemma for bringing that to our attention...that's on my list now.😀👍
Botox works! I had a VERY Deep line line between my eyes and Botox has almost completely gotten rid of it. I also use it on my forehead…those lines pretty much disappear until it’s time to do the process again. I try to get close to 6 months between treatments. I like the idea of using the argeriline solution at the corners of my eyes because I don’t do Botox in that area..
I do not have deep wrinkles anymore because Botox helped the muscle to not make the move that caused the crease. Had I started a bit younger, maybe it would never have formed? (2017 when I was 48) But I’m going to give the Argerline serum, plus matrixal a try..
I use niacinamide first then mix matrixyl and argeline together after on the principle that you use watery products before thicker ones. Don't know if this is correct but seems to work well on my 70 year old skin. Really like these effective products.
Thank you Gemma for the discount code I was able to use both the 10% off for the sale and your 15% off code. WOW what a savings!! Long time subscriber first time commenter!😊
This video cam at a perfect Time for me. I have been using a current body LED mask with the Maysama product. I think I had seen it on Pen Smith. My current body stopped working so I ordered an Omnilux . When I was reading the directions it says to use on clean skin. So I was a little hesitant to use the Maysama product. Glad to see the info here on that
Hi Linda. When you understand the science, it all makes perfect sense, but it is always great to have the proof. Do check out the blogs on my website about ‘green tea’ and LED. Enjoy your combo therapy!! 💚
I only used baby shampoo and lotion as skin care bc..I didn't have acne as a teen.. I never broke out in my 20's.. wrinkles didn't exist into my 30's .. I turned 40 EVERYTHING CHANGED!... hormonal breakouts, dynamic wrinkles, PIH .. definitely need to take care of your skin even if your skin is PERFECT you gonna need to keep it that way
Green tea (Camellia sinensis) and green rooibos (Aspalathus Linearis) are two different plants. The serum you talk about has no green tea extract in its formulation.
Hi Gemma, I have been using tretinoin for about 3 months now and still in the process of increasing dosage (from dermitica) at what stage would you introduce Argireline and some of the other serums and when would you apply them? Really keen to reduce my eleven and frown lines? Love your videos by the way.
Use your trentinoin at night & your serums in the morning. Trentinoin is pretty strong, you don't want to mix in any other products than a moisturizer on top of it.
Just watching your video, I had to stop 3-4 times to stop leaning on my chin .... Will buy the peptides you recommended, a very good explanation of each product, thanks from Australia.
I also have the Omnilux and was ready to order the green tea serum but I reached out to the Omnilux company and they said they couldn’t recommend using the green tea because it hasn’t been tested and could damage the plastic over the lights . I still want to use it and wonder if anyone here uses it with the Omnilux.
@@cabrooker yes … you can still fit it into your program . That’s what I’m going to do . It seems like a great product but I’m afraid to damage my Omnilux . Unless I get some feedback of people using it with the Omnilux I’m not going to chance it. Those things are to darn expensive to replace !
Gemma, thank you so much for this video, I'm a long time The Ordinary user and recently was swayed by some pretty packaging from another company. I'm back to the Ordinary and am happy happy happy I watched your video this morning. Hello from Long Beach, California, USA.
I would use the argilerine first as it's the thinnest, and just apply to areas where you have dynamic wrinkles. Then the niacinimide, followed by the matrixyl, as it has HA which helps penetration
thanks Gemma the Green Rooibas Serum sounds great, but I was led to believe it is not a green tea' proper green tea is from a Camellia Sinensis plant. Green Rooibas tea is from the African bush Aspalanthus Linearis
You start with the thinnest/wateriest, then work your way to the thickest. That means argireline first, then matrixyl, then niacinamide. Although personally I would stick to just two of these at a time, not three.
Thanks for all the great info. I started using niacinamide from the Ordinary after seeing your Mother recommend it. It made my skin brighter, & reduced the size of my pores. Can't wait to try these recommendations!
Hi! Can you clarify *when* to use the green tea serum in the application process before putting on the LED lights? I know “thinnest to thickest” generally but can you be more specific? Thanks!
I already use everything mentioned apart from the green tea and pillow......I have just ordered both 😂. Quick question - how do you use the products in your daily routine along with vit c etc? I find they can pill on my skin sometimes and I'm concerned with so much product on my face that they will be fighting with each other for optimum skin penetrative. Another great vid by the way 👏
I'm Dutch and its like "In that Perfect Spot" says above, its not Bosch at the end but Boss. Its pronounced Roy Boss. Like the "boys name" combined with Boss, as in, the boss at work (old school).
As a native Afrikaans speaker, it's not any of these above... but fail to describe the second "o". English speaking South Africans will however pronounce it "Roy boss", and nothing wrong with that either! 😀
I've been using the stick on wrinkle patches at night blumbody they are called, they have helped my sleep lines on my head and above my lip both are vertical lines, I've read that botox doesn't work for vertical lines, the lines are fading and I just use the stickies to prevent further creasing.
I use the Ordinary Argireline serum and love it. Don't have deep wrinkles, I'm 49 with normal to dry skin, but makes my face look relaxed overall. Thank you for the idea of using it with the Matrixyl. Will definitely do that.
Dr. Sam Bunting's "Nightly Eye Cream" is a miracle worker!!!!!!!!!!! It reduced wrinkles in that area significantly. I'm 47. After using it, I woke up and my jaw dropped as I asked myself "where did the wrinkles go??"
Thank you so much ☺️. Yes, I have rosacea and I glad to say that LED therapy (combined with my serum) had been a huge contributor to getting my rosacea back under control. Bev - Founder, Maysama.
I love 💕 to hear you and love your videos. I really used to be a fan of the ordinary products, I wish they worked for me however, they don't. I love the price and I have tried several of the products through the past several years. Those products actually seems to make my wrinkles even worse... so I have gone back to my anti ageing products, I am in the fall of life and will be seventy years old next year... sorry I wish the ordinary worked for me but it didn't...
Hi Gemma! I use vitamin c serum in the morning and niacinamide serum at night. I would like to try the Argireline and Matrixyl but where would you fit them in and in what order? Thank you! ❤ I love your channel and always look forward to your videos x
Hi, you can not use Niacinamide with peptides in a same routine. (Argireline and Matrixyl are peptides) Nor with VitC . If you want to use VitC, you should not combine it in the same routine with Niacinamide. You can use your VitC in the morning and then a moisturizer Niacinamide is great with Retinol, so you can use it at night with Retinol, and then a moisturizer. Another night you can use Matrixyl, Argireline and then a moisturizer. I don't know if I could help you, I hope so! Cheers!
I wish I could upload photos after sleeping on the Sleep&Glow pillow! Lots of sleep wrinkles, especially on my neck. I actually sent them to their customer service and they told me that I... don't sleep in a correct posture 🙄 I returned this pillow. Maybe if you don't move during sleep and you can keep your fave stil in the holes, it will work for you. Beware of one thing: if you return it, you will have to pay for the shipment to the Netherlands. 😢
I’ve been using matrixyl and Argerline for years and it’s good stuff, I just looked at the pillows, wow they’re expensive, I’m sure they do work but way to expensive for me. Is there a cheaper alternative?
I am 67 years old power lifter and I have no wrinkles and I have no sagging skin. When wrinkles appear, Skincare cannot remove wrinkles. Healthy collagen nutrition is important that prevents wrinkles. Sugar sun light and smoking unhealthy junk foods that cause wrinkles.
I think I may get tempted with the green tea serum with my omnilux. But let’s be carefull with that study, however indépendant it might be! 16 persons is a very little number. What was the age group, previous sun damage? The reduction after, how long after the treatment was it? Because right after, it might be the immediate hydrating effet of the half face with serum compared to the “dry” half. And was it measured or subjective ? Again, I might let myself splurge for it. But with cosmetician studies, always beware of the risk of “embellishment” of results!
Mymi, the extended product tests are for claims testing, not for clinical trials. Protocol follows strict regulatory guidelines and carried out by an independent laboratory. You can read the full reports on my website. 💚
Hi Gemma, can I ask with the Argireline can I use it at the same time as my vit c or Tretinoin etc? Are there any contradictions? Also heard somewhere that it’s hard to get it into your skin so I was saving it for when I dermarolled or used the Airshot, now I think I should use it daily. Also because it’s so watery do I put it on before my toner and essence? Thank you sorry for all the questions 😅
The Ordinary says not to use argireline with direct vitamin C, but you can use it with vitamin C derivatives, such as ascorbyl glucoside. You can also use it in combination with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, retinol or antioxidants. I find it works very well with matrixyl (as Gemma said), hyaluronic acid or The Ordinary's amino acids serum (which is a great hydrator). However you combine it, it should be the first thing you put on your face, since it is so watery. Personally, I would not use this in combination with an acid toner. The Ordinary recommends against combining direct acids and peptides such as argireline.
Thanks Gemma! I just ordered the green tea serum but was wondering about combining the Argireline and Matryxl with the Buffet and Niacinamide that I already use. I also use a .02% tretinoin with Azelaic acid and hydroquinone in the evenings. Do you think that the addition of those two products you mentioned will be too much?
Thanks for another great video. I just got the moto red light. Would love to know how to use it. Morning.. night? With the green tea serum. Thanks again!
Hi Sonja. The recommended protocol is to apply my serum to clean skin 15-20 minutes before your LED treatment. Then carry out your Red-NIR for the recommended treatment time (normally 10 minutes). Afterwards there is no need to wash off my serum, just continue with the rest of your skincare regime. Bev - Founder, Maysama 💚
WOW!! I am blow way with your knowledge and trials with the products! So happy I found your channel :)) I would like to know how you use the niacinamide product combining with the other Matrix and Argireline and the Green Tea Serum, you use only at night? Would be great to know a daily complete routine. Your skin looks Fantastic! Also could you make a video on LED Face Lights, I really would like to know which ones are the best, 🙏
To clarify .. is the green tea antioxidant serum to go on the skin for DURING the LED treatment, or is it applied AFTER? I’m sorry if I missed that! 🤦♀️ Great video… thanks!! 💜
I wonder why you wrinkle products actually work because you use the products for these people under the age of 40 only. I am 60, no way this product will work for me because I did try many type of products but now I realized that the product may prevent wrinkle more than reduce it.
The best pillow for me is the Beauty Loop. It is a “pillow” you wear to bed, and my entire face stays elevated, does not touch the pillow. It is different looking to be sure and takes time to get used to it. However, it’s fantastic. No more pillow or pillow case creases. Love the thing, I would not be without it and I hope it is never discontinued.
Thanks for your recommendation Lisa. I've just ordered one of these pillows. I move around a lot and we will be travelling soon so will fit perfectly into my lifestyle.... it looks so easy to use.
Would love to know your routine with theses products, specifically if morning. I use Tretinoin at night so not sure if I would use these then? Please do a video on how you incorporate these.
lol...ok wow, you completely sold me on the Green tea Serum, I have the current body face and neck device that I just received not too long ago so I can't wait to try it with the serum!
Hi Gemma, great video (as usual 😉), but I'd like to ask how do you fit the argireline in your routine. I saw on the Ordinary website that it shouldn't be used with acids and vitamin C, so I'd like to try it, but I'm not sure where to fit it in my routine. I use Press and Glow, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid in the morning and Skin and Me in the evening. Really hope I can give it a try 🙂
Thank you so much for such great information I definitely order the serum for the led mask , I used my led mask every night so definitely going to try it with that serum
Thank you. I will definitely try these products. The maysana greet tea serum is not for sale in my country ❤ your skin is beautiful!!! I just need day/night cream and eye cream. However I never know what to use first and how. Do you perhaps have a video on the facial creams that's the best and how to use in good order with these products on this video ? ❤
I wish ‘room temperature’ was made clear by companies. I live in Queensland Australia. Room temperature here is often 33 centigrade. Let me know what you think?
I purchased the pillow and serum through this link and I have previously purchased the current body led face and neck led masks through your previous video’s- I need my husband to hide my wallet when watching your RU-vid videos 😬😂😂😂
Were light moisterier use face wash without acohol or fragrance. Keep apt. Clean and fix teeth avoid receding. Dont wear makeup every day. Dont pull on face . Hate retinol may try othet soothing skin products masks so forth that's about it for me.
How much stronger in percentage, or other measures, is Argireline and Matrixyl compared to what they are in the Buffet? Have been trying to find out, but without any luck. Thanks for an awesome channel I've been following for years now. 💙
Many many videos say that the amounts of Argireline and Matrixyl found in the Buffet are far less than if you purchased the bottles on their own and is apparently far more beneficial to apply them one after the other.
Hi Gemma - thanks for this video! I am 52 and have the most stubborn of the three wrinkle types, lol. I am lost in the weeds on what products and devices are going to be best for me. Are all of the serums you mentioned safe for use under the eyes and on the eyelids?
