Dr. Dray is THE BEST. I hate “skinfluencers” - they have a subjective opinion whereas dr. Dray discusses what these products will do for whoever tries them, so why would we listen to them 😆 All I know is that my skin has improved SO MUCH in the last year thanks to Dr. Dray and Dr. Dray alone. Actual Derms IRL were less helpful.
@@NorthEnd_Andrea they're also all constantly excited and ecstatic about EVERYTHING & ANYTHING I feel like. Which is not helpful at all when you need to pick a routine and stick to it while not having an unlimited budget
Prescription tretinoin 0.025mg at night. The first month every other night. After this has absorbed, apply a night cream with ceramdes and peptides. Every morning, apply acure brightening vitamin c and ferulic acid serum. Let that absorb. Then, apply a day cream that works for you that has peptides and ceramides. I prefer a salicylic acid cleanser so that I have something to exfoliate my skin. Also, before people start yelling at me.Don't forget your sunscreen.
As an oily skin girl , I loved the beta glucan moisturizer and it sits beautifully under make up due to that slightly tacky film. I only use it during the day and use a heavier moisturizer at night. My skin almost never feels dry but does get extra oily when it is dry, so when I apply this, it sinks in and feels like nothing but my skin doesn’t get oily when I wear it because my skin isn’t overcompensating for moisture loss. So I love it. Dr. Drey , I wish you talked about it more rather than just writing it off!!
I also like to use it during the day under my spf or under soft make-up. It works wonderful, actually. I like it better than the original cream texture.
I have combo skin and use the beta glucan one in the morning and it starts out tacky but very quickly goes right into my skin as if it was never there, I use the HA moisturizer in the night and they both work great
Yes to all of these. My skin gets oily and the nyc summer heat doesn’t agree with the HA but the beta feels like water but doesn’t dry out quickly at all.
I absolutely love all the Ordinary products. Much, much better than Skinceuticals. And most importantly, they don’t bankrupt you! They’re the best-no question.
29 year old male here from Aus, I used the eye serum for 7 months and it didn’t do much, except hydrate my eye area. The bottle lasts a long time, you only need a small amount.
i know this has nothing to do with the video but could u make more videos on how to deal with frizzy dry hair? would moroccanoil hair oil help if i apply it to ends daily??
I haven’t tried the new moisturizers because my skin doesn’t do well with urea. But I LOVE the glycolipid cleanser. My skin has gotten more oily/combo this year, and the glycolipid cleanser is a great alternative to the squalane cleanser, which I have always loved. I agree that the foaming cleanser is pretty meh. I have mixed feelings about NAG serum. I didn’t really notice any results from it until I started using it as a spot treatment on red marks from pimples immediately after the pimple has resolved. It doesn’t seem to help if I use it while the pimple is still active, but once the pimple has resolved, the NAG serum fades the redness like nothing else I’ve ever seen. PIE likes to hang around on my skin for YEARS, but with this serum twice a day, the redness is reduced probably ~75% in less than a week! I do like to layer it with a niacinamide serum, but no niacinamide serum has had that kind of effect by itself. However, it does take a lot longer to fade that last 25%. I’ve been getting some bad breakouts since May, and even with this serum (and everything else I use), I don’t think any of the marks are completely faded. Still, it’s amazing to be able to get rid of the majority of the redness so quickly. I will repurchase it as long as I’m still getting breakouts. Used as a spot treatment like this, I probably only need one bottle a year, so it’s a pretty good deal.
Because i truly appreciate your honesty i would love a video about comparing LED masks, i was recommended the Deesse Pro Led mask but it is 1600€ 😢. And i just wonder is there a significant difference between the available masks and the price differences. Thanks love your videos 😊❤
I think they're generally the same as long as you get the right types of LED. Some brands throw on the rainbow lights but those seem gimmicky and not as research-backed as red and near-infrared lights. Ofc there might be preferences in terms of design and whatnot too
@@soshi-805 How do you know what the right types of LED are? Most say infrared led 600nm or something like that , but have no clue what that means lol 😆 and some have different colors for different skin issues. For me personally it doesn't have to look fancy as long as it gives results 😊
I've been using the NMF + Beta Glucan as my daytime moisturizer for the summer and find it good, but not great. I found the finish a bit tacky, and didn't offer a lot of spreadability/play time. I much prefer for Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Water Gel though for those looking for a gel with beta-glucan.
Natural Moisturizing Factors + PhytoCeramides is my holy grail for my dry mature skin (age 51). Using it in the night. Even better then the original La Roche Posay Cicaplast cream. I need to try the cream cleanser.
Oooo. I was just trying to find a dupe for the cicaplast cuz people said the formulation changed. Now, if Walmart could start selling the ordinary…😅 also interested in the cleanser too!
I’ve used The Ordinary for years. I’m 68 and my skin is wrinkle free except the beginning of saggy jowls…blah!😆 Your skin looks the best I’ve seen Dr. Dray! Very glowy!✨
@@bel.epoque I use all The Ordinary products. I use: Night time -my own homemade wash w/coconut oil, clay, oats, etc., Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA & switch with Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion. Daytime-"Buffet" + Copper Peptides 2% (I switch with Pycnogenol 5% & Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, I use AHA 30% BHA 2% & Glycolic Acid 7% as exfoliants. I always use sunscreen-MyChelle sun shield stick SPF 50 tinted, 100% Pure tinted moisturizer w/sunscreen. Hope this helps!
I just turned 62 but still have some minor acne. Can you tell me your favorite products you use for wrinkles? Please🙏❤ There are so many things from The Ordinary, but I do love the products I've used so far. Thank you! I really like Dr. Dray's channel.❤
Hi Dr Dray! I've tried the aloe + nag serum and have hyperpigmentation and some redness from acne. It slightly helped fade my hyperpigmentation and made my skin look glowy. ( I do use a moisturizer with niacinamide) so I don't know if that has helped "boost" the effects of the serum 🤷♀ I enjoy the serum though and for the price, i think it's worth it!
Thanks for your honest review. I have been using all of these new products as well ever since they came out. I agree on all point’s except on the two moisturizers. I am in my 50s and live in colder dry climate with rosacea prone skin. I was using higher priced moisturizers to keep my skin from drying out each day (i.e $70 CAD per 50ml) and since these two new NMFs came out…I no longer need! I use NMF + beta glucan in morning with a drop of pycnogenol under my SPF and it feels like a hydrating primer. I layer both at night and skin is soft and hydrated all night. Tip: use a small amount of NMF with phytoceramides and no shine!! Easily spreads and seals nicely! I am so happy I no longer need to buy skin fix or biossance anymore!!
I use Nava MD tretinoin and everything else I rely on is from The Ordinary! Argireline 10% and Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% are my holy grails!! Looking to add a couple more winners this year!! The Ordinary is so amazing and great value for us regular folks! ❤🎉
@@phillyjilly I was Lucky enough to grab a bunch of tubes of Ambi lightening cream before they reformulated it and took out the hydroquinone! But Azelaic Acid suspension DOES seem to be working for my spots! I don't have too many, though, fortunately.
My friend works in the cosmetic industry and he tood me The Ordinary is fairly cheap because they buy their products in bulk. However, they do not always buy from the same suppliers but rather whatever is the cheapest/best deal, which means their quality control isn't the best since certain suppliers have better control of their ingredients/better quality. I remember one time I used their moisturizer and did not like it because it was weird and gritty. Another time I used it and it was way better. I LOVE the Ordinary's serums more than anything.
Thank you 😊 I tried Ordinary Hyalurone and Niacinamide and I don't like it. It is so sticky. After La Roche products, nothing else is good enough for me. But it is just my experience.. anyway I love your videos.

Recap by Tammy AI
I tried several products from The Ordinary many years ago and I wasn't really impressed with any of them. I know a lot of people like the brand and their prices are definitely good but they didn't do anything noticeable for me. Ahh well. Thanks for the review, Dr Dray. Happy Monday!! Hope you have a tranquil evening. 💙
Actually living in Europe I realised after few years of constant use of the ordinary, there are far better products in the same price range or at times for lesser price! I think the ordinary used to be good several years ago. After the suicide of the genuinus who created the ordinary, the products lost its quality! I really doubt influencers and dermatologists who still praise the ordinary actually ever used them! This is happening with Paula's choice too! Unfortunately ! Paula's choice quality is becoming questionable and in Europe you do have a lot other options with better pricing.
@@MolzauMDo you mind me asking what brands would you recommend in Europe? I'm hoping to take my skincare more seriously and in my country The Ordinary is quite popular and one of the cheapest.
I've been using the peptide eye serum and have actually noticed a big difference in wrinkles and skin thickness. Used along with the ordinary granactive retinoid and red light therapy daily. I did not notice as much of a difference with the caffeine serum
I absolutely love the glycolipid cream cleanser! It's my fave of their launches. it's so silky, soft in texture, I love the feeling onto my skin! Also love the natural scent it has. I use it in the morning or as a second cleanser. The aloe serum felt really hydrating and easy to absorb - I thought it has a great texture compared to other Ordinary serums which can be more tacky or soapy. However, it didn't do anything in terms of texture/skintone. Glucoside cleanser just okay - foaming but non drying - however didn't feel special in any ways and I don't like the soapy scent. Betaglucan - I just like that it feels super fresh onto the skin and almost soothing, I like it on my body after shower but haven't used much onto my face. The phyto ceramides one - I don't like the feeling of that al all - feels like it's coating the skin with oils - you are right, feels like spf! Also I am prone to acne so not sure it's good for me. Mixing Beta and Phyto somehow works okay - same for mixing them with the classic NMF
I love the Ordinary, so I really appreciate you reviewing their new products. Argereline and CoQ10 are my holy grails from there and several others. Great products at very reasonable prices. Have a wonderful Sunday!❤😊
Wow! 1st, can I just say how pretty you look today. 2nd, loved today's video. Thanks for explaining everything so well. Sometimes the ordinary can be hard to figure out and you did a fantastic job. Have a great weekend 😊
I haven't seen any reviews from you on Pycnogenol 5% High-Potency Antioxidant Serum. It ll be great if you can touch upon your experience with that product. That one seems to be new as well
Good information. Normally, I like most things they make but nothing sounds useful enough to buy or replace what I use. Thank you so much Dr Dray! Looking forward to the hair product review though.
My experience: I have combination, sensitive, rosacea-prone skin (types 1 and 4). TO Aloe 2% NAG 2%: I find this to be very hydrating and my skin has had lessening of my visible pores but I also use this with the Glossier niacinimide serum with zinc (chose this because the niacinimide is only 5% which is a good level for me) TO Multipeptude Eye Serum I only use it below my eyes and a little under my brows because if I use it on the lid it gets in my eyes and stings. You only need 1/2 drop for both eyes total. I think it's hydrating. When I finish the bottle I'll skip it to see what happens. I do also use the caffeine ecgc serum but all over my face and I love that serum so much. I started using it for red light therapy because of the green tea but my skin loves it so I've purchased many bottles. TO Glycolipid Cream Cleanser absolutely love. I first use Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Water, then this cleanser. Holy grail for me.
You may not have noticed much, however you are glowing and looking generally lovely today, so perhaps it's doing more than you think. Also the blue in the hoodie is definitely your color!
I had a feeling the beta glucan moisturizer wouldn't be enough on its own. Even as someone with oily skin myself I usually still pair gel moisturizers with something slightly more occlusive. But the ingredient list for that one is very nice :)
You have been looking better than ever lately! Is it makeup? Is it this Ordinary product and perhaps you don’t see the change, where I see some change and it’s fabulous?
Hi! I've just found you and find your information very interesting. I haven't completely researched your playlist, but was wondering if you ever specifically address products for older women. I'm 74, and I know that the majority of products are created for young, youthful skin. We older women are often at a loss as to just what to put on our aging skin. We know we have wrinkles and sags, but still want to look our best.
Can't thank you enough Dr. Dray for all that you do in your channel. The information you put out (i.e., product information, testing, facts and or evidence-based) are so valuable that each episode or new video should never be missed out. What draws me to this channel is your thoroughness and remarkable effort, and quality of information.
Hi Dr Dray, please let us know about kiehl’s products. Especially their new serum (niacininamide, glycolic acid and hyaluronic acid). What products are suitable for oily sensitive skin?
I just wanted to put forward, anyone who thinks they've got a sensitivity to niacinamide because they've used TO 10% niacinamide, try Catrice cosmetics 10% niacinamide (you can get it in the UK but dont know about overseas). I found TO one ends up burning my skin with repeated use, whereas i use Catrice nightly, its exactly same consistency as TO and goes on like a dream...i could never be without it. The only difference is it has a slight fragrance - a fresh, clean sort of smell (i don't usually go for fragranced products but Its never caused any problems and i look forward to putting it on. Its around the same price too. I think its TO's formulation....
Good info as always but, I wonder how many more NEW products we actually need. More bottles and garbage for our landfills. Can we put our energy into more worthwhile pursuits? Things to think about. ❤
I've been using The Inkey List Caffeine Eye Cream for about 5 years because it actually reduces with puffiness under my eyes, that regular moisturizer doesn't do for my puffy skin. The original Ordinary Caffeine didn't reduce the puffiness on me.
Thank you, Dr Dray. You're always my go to when it comes to reviewing any product I am interested in. This was so informative for me. At present I have been using the ordinary multi peptide serum. I have been using it now for about three months. I would say it has made a massive difference to my under eye area in that my undress and eyelids are more hydrated and feel tighter. Definitely noticed a brightening effect. I am a 38 year old who get the odd acne breakout, usually cystic! So annoying. This doesn't break me out, which is great. I use it in combination with the buffet copper peptide serum and Niacinamide and La Roche posay effacer H moisturiser, K for the summer months. Noticed that my acne is now more mild with less breakouts. I thought your skin looked incredible!!! Thanks again for this video. really good honest, professional information.
I have been using the Glycolipid Cream Cleanser for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it. I've been using their caffeine serum for under my eyes and was considering their eye serum at the store this weekend. I'm glad I decided to go with what was working and didn't waste my money.
I've been searching for something for my dark, puffy eye bags but i lost a bit of faith in The Ordinary. I'm a guy turning 40 and just started taking care of my face. Used TO's Granactive Retinoid for 6 months + Ascorbic acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2%. Used the retinoid daily and the other every other day. Saw no difference in the skin apart from getting a strange yellow cast on my face, probably from the alpha arbutin. Switched to Retinol 0.5% and Vitamin C 23% + HA Spheres. Also used them for another 6 months and again, no difference. The vitamin C cream texture was awful not to mention the smell. I have oily skin in my nose and forehead and that just made things worse. Never felt any redness, tingling, peeling, etc from any of those products. Recently i switched them for tretinoin (also kept the moisturizing factors) and 4 months later and there is already a pretty visible difference in my skin. The only TO product that i used that might have helped was the AHA 30% + BHA 2% that i used weekly. It did leave my skin smoother (i didn't feel any burning or tingling with that one either, my skin must be made or rock). My skin does peel a bit with tretinoin in the places where i shave (electric razor, not blade) but apart from that i tolerate it very well. Although i like the the natural MF + HA, it's a bit greasy for my skin and never fully absorbs. I might give the beta glucan one a shot. In your side by side videos showing the effects of the eye serum, i see no difference between the two. I think that the effects of caffeine for the purpose of de-puffing the eyes are placebo most of the time. Going to search a bit for alternatives to The Ordinary that don't break the bank.
This hint (to decrease eye puffiness/bags) won't cost you anything! Try to train yourself to sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated. This prevents fluid from pooling around the area (stretching the delicate skin) as you sleep...particularly if you sometimes sleep on your front. I find a firm pillow (latex or memory foam) is better to remain sleeping on one's back for the entire night. I also sometimes use one of those (small concave triangle) slide sleepers' knee pillows as a head & neck pillow...to keep myself from turning to the side. Sleeping on one's back is also advantageous to minimise face wrinkles. People who are sensitive/allergic to pollen dust etc. find the antihistamine nasal sprays/eye drops usually reduce associated eye bags/ puffiness/dark circles. I only get puffy eyes now if I don't get enough sleep, drink white wine (I only drink a small glass glass of red wine with dinner), don't wear a dust mask when emptying/cleaning the vacuum cleaner bag/filters...or if I've been crying! Thankfully, because I'm very happy, I haven't had to use The Ordinary's caffeine drops for that lately... So I'd better check the "use by" date! I hope this helps you or others somehow. 👱🏻♀️❤️
@@nadab4750 It's going to be a bit hard for me 😅. Not only it's my least favorite position to sleep, sometimes i also snort if i sleep on my back. I only started having puffy eyes 5 or 6 years ago when i started taking anxiolytic medication. I'm sleepy lots of times and my eyes feel tired even if i have a wonderful night sleep. I'm better now so maybe i'll talk with my doctor to see if i can slowly decrease it.
The Ordinary rip-off brands (Good Molecules, Inkey List, Revolution Skincare blah blah) are generally inferior (by some margin) though, you can experiment 'cos they have a few different products that TO doesn't have (check for fragrance though all 3 of those sneak it in sometimes) but I'd say a 1:1 comparison of the exact same product TO tends to win. If you want to keep Vit C in there, I think CeraVe has one now? I'm cf so I can't use them, I use Paula's Choice but that is well expensive. Really if you've left it this late, then it's tretinoin, tretinoin, tretinoin, militant sunscreen use, hydration/moisturising and if you really need it, either chemical exfoliation (like you I have texture so I use AHA and BHA) and temporary spot-treatment with hydroquinone on major sunspots/marks (a little dob of that mixed with tret worked literal miracles within like, a week). The rest to me is just a) make sure my skin is properly clean (double cleanse to get that sunscreen (and in my case makeup) off! Life changing) b) hope that Vitamin C might help 'cos why not I can afford it. I left it late too and tretinoin and sunscreen has done the bulk of the heavy lifting which is unsurprising. I love that you're doing this btw. Great to see men becoming more interested in taking care of their skin. It's important! Not just for skin health but also, nothing wrong with wanting to look and feel good. Don't forget sunscreen my man, men are far more prone to skin cancer than women. Keep it up!
@@taranullius9221 Thank you for your kind reply. Yeah i didn't mention sunscreen because it's pretty much a requirement with Vit-a. I remember i tried tretinoin more than a decade ago. My doctor prescribed it to me but didn't even mention sunscreen, just to apply the tretinoin at night. Next day i left the house to do my business (without sunscreen), middle of summer, UV index trough the roof. Arrived home with huge and painful burn marks on my face. Anyway, i'm also late with sunscreen. Only started using it when i decided to take care of my skin. I used to go to the beach and not use a single drop of sunscreen. Sometimes i would arrive home completely red and laying down to sleep was hard because the entire body hurt.. yikes.. what was i thinking about. I'm lucky because i'm not much of a beach guy and my job doesn't require me to be in the sun. I have better skin than my sister and we're about the same age (she goes to the beach a lot (but always used sunscreen)). My ex was the type of girl that almost never used makeup and rarely applied any creams to her body/face. That probably help in me not thinking about it either. It was youtube that started showing me these types of videos and make me care 😁 . I'm not sad that i didn't start earlier (apart from the sunscreen), i'll be happy if i manage to "freeze" my appearance for a while or slow aging down a bit
I don’t know what it is about some of the ordinary’s serums (niacinamide, amino acid, marine hyaluronate, hyaluronic acid) but my skin breaks out the next day. Painful bumps. I want to try the new aloe one but I’m so nervous. The only one that I don’t get a reaction to is the alpha arbutin.
I purchased the NMF + Beta Glucan Moisturizer, hoping it would be great for my mostly oily skin, and I think I agree with your assessment of it. I don't feel like it moisturizes. Rather, it creates a tacky, sticky feeling that I don't like. Putting sunscreen over it hasn't been an issue (I'm using paula's choice spf 50) as far as pilling goes, but the combination makes me shinier than a donut, and not in a good way. It looks more like I have a thin layer of oil all over my face.
I recently purchased the NMF + Phytoceramides, and I completely agree -- it feels so much like sunscreen! It performs decently but I will still keep going back to good ol' Cerave in the tub.
I really enjoy your knowledge and honesty (Particularly your vide on 'Magic Cream' by Charlotte Tilbury' LOL 🤣 Whilst the Ordinary have some fantastic products- they also have some products that don't quite hit the mark!
I've tried the moisturizers and the glycolipid cleanser. I found the lighter moisturizer pilled and the heavier one was too greasy looking. And I'm someone who regularly puts Vaseline all over my face in the winter. The glycolipid cleanser is amazing. Super gentle. Maybe even more than the hydrating options from cerave, LRP and Cetaphil. I almost never find anything i like from the ordinary so I'm pleasantly surprised that they released this
I tried the aloe serum + glycolipid cleanser + nmf beta glucan Aloe serum was used solo with a moisturizer and spf during the day and this sadly broke me out. The glypolipd cream cleanser is a favorite! I’ve recently ordered two more! Scent is subjective and this personally reeks like rotten cilantro! (Smelled by 4 people and it’s conclusive) it’s possible I got a bad batch I don’t know .. but I curb that with ONE drop of tea tree oil. The gel moisturizer was a fail for me UNTIL I combined it with an emulsion.
Omg yess I love the glycolipid cleanser it cleans my face yet doesn't strip my skin at all, I wish they would release a bigger bottle like 300-450ml that would be so good
New Subscriber, 20 minutes to be exact. Thank the Lawd for Dr. Dray's educated & Informative breakdown of products, Secondly, Dr.Dray im sure you get many compliments day to day, However, you may want to revisit the idea of the Ordinary Serum for your personal routine, because your subscribers have given you soooooo many compliments, and i have no doubt that maybe typical, you are glowing, tgat being said, its tge variety of compliments, one usually receives when something's different, and you just cant put your finger on it, like some said " glowing" "very pretty" some said "that's definitely your color cornflower blue to wear, many said you look Amazing, and 1 even said "Amazing, we need details " like is a new crush or something else exciting" So as i said 20 minute subscriber, and new- you're either pregnant or that serum is possibly contributing, details please 😁 edit- oh yes and a few said "love your make-up today" *message in reference to barrier serum* I watched that video, sorry it was this video, on aloe that all tge comments were on, so message board skipped, but something is still doing something lol"
Kudos Dr. Dray! I use The Ordinary and Inkey List because I want hyaluronic acid without added scent, caffeine without added scent. In other words, I don't want added fluff in products. Thank you for testing and explaining products. Now, I know what I need and who produces what I want (and can afford).
I have very sensitive skin. Allergies, eczema, and I use tretinoin so all my skincare is dedicated to hydration and barrier support. I absolutely love the foaming cleanser, cream cleanser, and the phytoceramide moisturizer. I was so impressed by the ordinary for these new products. I feel that most of the products I’ve tried from them are oily and tacky but these three are definitely improvements to me personally.
I love u so much, I've been watching you for years, but your new mic reminds me of those ASMR youtubers, and I typically avoid those because of the sticky mouth sounds I hear. Ugh it sucks that I watch less of ur content now because of ur new mic :(
Dr Dray would you please list the products you use on your face with each video because your skin is so pretty in this video that I'd buy whatever foundation or tinted sunblock you used here in this particular video. Tks
Thank you, Dr. Dray. I really like the Ordinary products and I appreciate your opinion and expertise on these products. You look lovely today too. So pretty 😊 Julieann ❤
For the longest time, I bought skincare products from a Canadian company called Isomers. They offered, about 15-20 years ago, a lot of the actives used by The Ordinary and many other skincare lines. They tend to be super expensive, though, and I wonder if their formulations are elegant enough to warrant the price tag, or if we should stick to The Inkey List, The Ordinary, Cerave, etc.
Hi I had a question about controlling body odor using benzoyl peroxide in the under arm area alongside the use of an antiperspirant in the evening. If electrolysis were done in that area and all hair was permanently removed, would it still be necessary to use benzoyl peroxide wash and an antiperspirant to control sweat output or would it not be an issue to the absence of hairs? Thanks
Can we talk about your lashes? I barely have any (probably due to aging), and I tried the lash serum by the Ordinary and saw no results. Am I doomed to falsies forever? Would you recommend anything besides mascara?
Have you tried using an eyelash primer before you apply your mascara? It builds up the length & width of your eyelashes (even the'invisible' ones) before you apply your favouriite mascara. The brand Essence has a clear gel eyelash primer at a very economical price. I use a mini size eyelash curler first (it won't snip your eyelids), then eyelash primer, wait a minute, then apply the first layer of mascara, wait, then the second layer of mascara. Apart from eyelash curler, do this to upper and lower lashes. Waterproof mascara holds the curl better than the regular I also have a mascara with a tiny brush wand, which is handy for the fine lower lashes, inner upper lashes and for removing any clumps. Your eyelashes will get more sparce if you continuously use false eyelashes. Keep them for special occasions instead...or even just use a couple of individual lashes on the outer corner. Apply them a couple of lashes in from the end, this has a more uplifting effect. I hope this helps. 👱🏻♀️❤️
I can't use any skin care with caffeine! My body is so sensitive that I actually get a systemic effect, and can't sleep if I use a product at night that contains it. 🤦♀️
You always review water gel type moisturizers from a perspective of someone who would never use one. I can tell you this beta glucan moisturizer is the best I have ever used for oily skin.
