The Skinfix offers a refill for less money and less plastic. The Acure is a wonderful dupe! I use the Acure in the summer and Skinfix in the winter for my very dry sensitive skin. Sarah your videos are always so accurate!
Sarah your darker hair is perfect for you! I note the redness on your cheeks changes from day to day like mine. Have you tried the Rx strength Azalaic Acid 15-20% strength?❤
Earlier today on Reddit I saw a post about Amazon removing reviews about having fake products, but there was a comment from someone saying they reviewed drunk elephant on Sephora and critiqued the packaging and Sephora deleted/refused to post their review. It's a fair point that there's so much plastic waste, I like to shop with that in mind. It's nice to see some alternatives that are a bit better packaging wise!
I have been watching your videos since quite some years and lately due to work have been lagging in keeping up with latest skin care updates. Watching this video after 6 months and I find something has changed in your face, looking younger brighter and beautiful . Thank you for doing what you always do it has greatly helped my awareness in skincare.
I’m currently using the Acure Radically Rejuvenating Whipped Night Cream. My dry skin enjoys the creamy texture. Thanks for the recommendation Sarah😊👍🏼
The Klairs was my night cream last summer, and now I have Stratia Interface for when it gets warmer this year. I've always had the Acure one on my list but I've got to use up what I've got.
I LOVE DE Protini and have used it since it was introduced. I’ve become concerned about the growth factors in it since I have a strong history of melanoma and other skin cancers. So here I am hoping to find a dupe and who better to ask..and trust… than NBS
Totally my history ! I’ve used it since it was introduced. I had melanoma, my son had 2, all 5 sisters have had multiple melanoma as as well as my brother. Nieces, nephews, cousins. Etc. I recently realized it had growth factors so I am extremely concerned. I stopped using it. I’m looking for something else but meanwhile I have been subjected to it for a number of years 😮
Great video. FYI the inkey list is using a new tube Packaging. That product is no longer in the jar according to reviews. The oat cleansing balm came in the new tube and I hate the new tube also. It's a shame the don't just use an airless jar.
Great picks! I’ve been missing you and your videos. I’m going through a lot of med changes and dental work…yay, lol. You look fabulous, as always. I may end up trying one of these. I have a donkey milk cream on the way. This will be the last of the year since she cannot ship it in the summer. Thanks, chickadee🍃🌸
I’m still on the hunt for a dup for the Youth to the People air whip moisturizer 😢 I tried the glow recipe plum moisturizer and I started breaking out. I am curious to see if I would react well to the Saturday Skin moisturizer?!?!?! DUP: I have been LOVING the Peach and Lily Peptide Pro moisturizer in my nighttime routine. I am also a lover of the Klairs blue cream 💗
I wanted to use the Peach and Lily peptide pro moisturizer but there's something in there that my skin doesn't like 😭💔 I'm still bummed about it. It has so many good ingredients.
Surprised to hear the Aldi's brand is fragrance free. Two skincare products from that brand suddenly appeared at my local US Aldi's last Fall. As soon as I opened the jars I was assaulted by overwhelming perfume. Literally made me feel sick to my stomach. Luckily my neighbor was happy to take them.
So most of the Aldi's stuff does look like it has fragrance except for their Protini dupe and the Clinique Moisture Surge dupe! I guess two is better than none...
I tried to Clinique dupe and it was nice and I am pretty sure I bought it because fragrance free. I remember seeing the Protini dupe and I thought it had fragrance. Next time I will have to check it more carefully
I've tried ACURE and it does feel nice, however it's not the same. But I bought Summer Fridays Cloud Dew Cream after another RU-vidr recommended it, and I don't like it at all and honestly don't think this can even compare to Protini or even Acure. IMO
The Dermtlgy peptide night cream is also a good frangerance free option I think they may have a day one to idk why u can use the night cream in the day lol O I got 2 gwp of the kheils barrier cream with the oat in it so I get to try it it's the only GWP that appealed to me . Sephora has had some crappy GWP lately . I did have something show up asking me if I wanted 10$ off my purchase for 500 points . Did u see peach and Lilly came out with a new powder was the ingredients look great but damn the price is crazy it's as much as their serums .
I wanted to mention the DRMTLGY one but it is still out of stock, hopefully they'll get more stock soon! Hehe- I did pick up the P&L Powder Cleanser- it is okay, but for the price there are so many other options that were just as good if not better. I was expecting it to be a game changer but it was just okay.
@@NOBSBeauty girl for that price it should be game changing that is crazy . I saw Sephora brand came out with one too . O are u using it in the shower that's ware u should use it poor some on ur hand drop alittle water mix and put on then let it set for a few mins and let the steam activate it instead of just using them as a couple sec wash that's what I heard was the proper application method
Unfortunately, non of these come close to protini ingredients wise. I personally haven’t found another product with similar amount of amino acids, proteins and growth factors. If you’re after the most potent product you can get then it’s protini all the way. The jumbo size works out better and you can often get 20% off too.
Hi Sarah I actually tried a sample of the DE protini and have to say I wasn't impressed tbh, but I have super dry (rosacea and eczema prone) skin - it wasn't enough moisture for me and was very meh overall (another majorly hyped product i'm underwhelmed by lol). I have tried the Klairs and it's nice, but more of a Spring/Summer moisturiser for me (as it's not enough moisture either) - works well as a calming mask though. In other news I have been really enjoying the Kate Sommerville Delikate cream and serum I found in a kit (on sale) - it's really nice and I would buy them again if I got them on a decent deal. The Pacifica vegan ceramide stuff I tried is as follows: the cream is pleasant, but will be a Spring/Summer moisturiser for me, as it's not moisturising enough for my skin in cold weather (even under spf and over all the toners, essences and serums). the eye patches are nice and hydrating - not an essential, but a nice treat occasionally the ceramide oil is the star of the three for me and I really like it. Mixed into the cream really amps up the moisture and makes it wearable in this early Spring weather, but used under any moisturiser it's really nice. Of the three this was the surprise star product and my skin drinks it in. I should mention again that I am super dry however, so others will have a different experience. I think the cream would be good for those with just dry skin, but for the super dry it's a bit too lightweight. I am however someone for who moisturiser has to be really rich/buttery to really work well most of the year here in this Scottish weather. I'm still using the PC soothing body butter as a night cream and have gone through two full tubes this Winter already for face, neck and chest. Best wishes.
I tried the DE lala moisturizer and I felt the same way. It made my skin feel tight which is odd for a moisturizer to do and it sat on my skin. I don't get the DE hype
Yes to the DeliKate moisturizer!! I usually have to apply multiple hydrating layers - essence layers, ceramide serum layer, milky lotion layer, heavier moisturizer and hydrating sunscreen 😦😰 With the DeliKate moisturizer I need one layer of the moisturizer and my SPF and I’m set!! I’m not impressed by the DeliKate serum but I do adore the Glow Recipe Avocado Barrier Serum.
I was on the hunt for a thicker, more buttery moisturizer for night time this winter and found the Eucerin Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Face Cream. It is everything I was looking for and SUPER inexpensive.
@@reginaph828 I like the texture of it tbh and it's a nice hydrating serum. I'm not using it for actives etc and using other things for those. Btw the Paula's choice ultra rich moisturiser is similar to the Delikate moisturiser and works just as well under my spf - it's half the price of the Delikate when both are full price. I like the moisturiser for my extremely dry skin, but it's not enough overnight for Winter and as stated I've been using the soothing body butter from PC - I've enjoyed it and the INCI list is decent (it's also 118mls/4oz so you can slather it on a bit more, plus it's cheaper than the face version). I hope that helps, as when people talk about creams for "dry" skin they're not talking about the creams needed for super dry skin unfortunately. It's almost another skin type as I produce NO SEBUM anymore whatsoever - none, nada, nothing and need something super rich to make my skin feel comfortable. x
@@alexistantau9126 I'm glad you're enjoying it. I've used a few different moisturisers from Eucerin and they've been ok, but I prefer the PC ultra rich, the Delikate, the skincity extreme cream and the LRP Lipikar AP+M over those I've used from Eucerin. However I thank you for the suggestion x
Ok I'm a drunk elephant stan for the most part lol I don't like every single thing about drunk elephant but the protini and lala moisturizer are staples in my collection lol I use both protini more in the morning and lala more in the evening unless I'm just wanting more moisture then I can use lala morning and night! I just love the texture of both so much I can't imagine not having them lol I like they are refillable now but I just wish the refill was a little less expensive.. oh well I also have the Josie maran whipped argan oil face butter that's a staple as well it don't have all the anti aging benefits but it's still an amazing moisturizer!! And only $38!!
Can you tell me a bit more about the texture of the skin fix. Thanks. Also how you feeling about your hair colour now you’ve had it for a while. I LOVE it
I think I'm finally getting used to it- I might add a bit more red next time but otherwise I think I like it! The SkinFix has a whipped cream texture, thicker than the Protini (more like the Lala Retro Whipped Cream). If you like a gel texture Skinfix's Skin Barrier Restore Gel Cream is the one for you!
I know the Acure is similar ingredients wise but man that texture I cannot handle it! It was the weirdest thing to me. I thought I got a bad one so I got another one and ugh I just couldn’t take that texture
Any particular reason that you left out Bonajour's Green Tea Water Bomb from this video? I am very contend with my switch from DE Protini to Water Bomb as previously recommended on this channel.👍🙏 Because of the humid cold here in Scandinavia, this winter I have tested both Allies of Skin's Peptide & AOX Treatment and the Bifida Biome Cream from Manyo Factory. They're fine but I still had/have to use plenty of "winter layers", so I wouldn't repurchase and can't wait now to finish up and go back to Green Tea Water Bomb. Like Protini used to be it is such a no brainer/no worries moisturiser. Next winter I will see how far into winter I can take that one.
Did you realize you are holding up the acure eye cream not the night cream? Also, Acure night cream has vitamin C. How do you use it with retina A which is used at night?
I wonder what you think about Ole Henricksen Strength Trainer Peptide Boost VS Derma E Advanced Peptides Moisturizer? Interested to see how these 2 compare to Drunk Elephant?
Been having some pilling with my day time skin care routine, I think it might be the Klairs Midnight Blue moisturizer. I'm using Asian spfs such as Canmake Mermaid and Scinic Enjoy Super Mild Sun Essence. Wondering if our could be the silicones in these spfs not getting along with the shea butter and oils in the Klairs. What do you think? Have you ever had this issue?
I agree with what Paula said, I also think it's probably the Midnight Blue Calming Cream. I love the benefits of it but it can pill, especially with mineral sunscreens (which the canmake is a mineral- chemical hybrid). If possible I'd switch to using it just at night and see if that makes a difference. Is there any other moisturizer you could try during your Daytime routine to see if the change helps?
@@NOBSBeautyThank you so much Sarah and Paula! For right now I haven't been putting a moisturizer under the spf but I would like to add one in to stay more hydrated throughout the day... maybe the Bonajur green tea water bomb which I like although it's not enough in winter, or I may try out the B.LAB - Matcha Hydrating Clear Ampoule.
The Klairs Midnight Blue is also a HG for me, I love it so much, but it's not enough to keep my skin hydrated on its own unfortunately. I mix it with the CosRx snail cream sometimes which feels so good, but do you know of anything that feels similar to the Klairs midnight blue that is a bit heavier?
Sarah, the cos de Baja azelaic acid, how long does it take to soak in and not be oily? Put 2 in my cart. Thanks. Can't use the search function on yesstyle. Type in the product, then what?
It does take a few minutes for it to absorb- while it soaks in I usually do my neck treatments or eue products then by the time I'm done with that it is absorbed and ready to go. Are you using the Yesstyle website or the app? I tend to have better luck with the app.
