For those who can't or won't spend so much $ on such products, know that I have seen definite results using rosewater and glycerin, aloe gel, different oils, wild yam and facial exercise. Beauty is a gift from nature.
I second this about rose water and glycerin!! Excellent hydration! However since I am using a collagen moisturizer and I want that to sink in and start working, I spritz the glycerin rose water combo after for extra hydration, and not before. Kind of like to seal in moisture. I also like to spritz that under my eyes whether I use an eye cream or not. I Ike to use formulation 2 tablespoons water to 1 glycerin! I even smudge glycerin by itself on nasolabials and under eyes sometimes!
@@sannybangunI don't make a big deal about it ..I buy rosewater and glycerine in a spray bottle and use it . I also have a bottle of glycerine which I mix into my homemade face and body mixture.
I love that you don' t do treatments in between so you can show the real progress of the skin care you are using . You are so in depth with products and how it works. I appreciate that you explain it so well that I understand it. your the best skin care youtuber I am so surprised you don't have a million followers. Thank you so much!!
Desi I purchased the optimizing mask after your first video on Auteur products and love it. Your code for the Auteur samples is a win win in trying their products. If it weren’t for you I would not have heard of this brand so THANK YOU! I have placed an order for full sized Auteur products based on your recs in this video. Thank you for doing these informative videos. As always, you are top notch and never disappoint with your recommendations. FYI, I received the Laprairie Essence In foundation this week….seriously this is the best foundation ever!!!! Amazing❤ ❤❤
Hi Desi, I am glad that skincare works for you. Hope it will continue give results that you want even in 50’s . 🙏 I was like you no way I need any procedures, I was raw vegan, my skincare raw vegan, and I never had anything done , even botox all the way until 50” and really at 45, even 48 or even 50, it’s a huge difference how I looked. I always looked so young .I got my first botox in 2020 at 50, and since I had very bad reaction, I haven’t got done , until a year later( I did dysport and it was fine), I got one more time last year. But my belief that my face never going to change, well it did, especially after 2021 , I had neurological covid( it’s all around my head , ears, crazy fever, I was half way unconscious for hours, burning up, no sweat, no matter what I took no food and minimum water for a month. Half of the time , I did not where I was, so when I finally got up, and fever gone. I was Beasley able to stand. No memory. All 5 languages mixed up and slurred speech. Of course I lost a lot of weight, and that’s not good for my skin. I still have high cheeks, but my mid face fat reduce a lot, little sagging, and hormones got crazy, put me within a year in menopause now i do not believe in medical hormone treatment. I don’t have too many symptoms, I am very holistic. But I know that women who take hormone replacement , does well with aging ( well better ) So I really realized that prevention is a key. There is no need to do crazy fillers. They look crazy , to me it looks like older women got filler, does not create youthfulness . But there are bio stimulators ( that makes your body to work and produce collagen) even i see that women who did botox as prevention, doing better. Like no lines on forehead. And if it’s done as prevention, it cuts necessity to do them more often or later. The same thing I have been researching on the regaining fullness for face. There is such thing as too late, or at least the later you start it cost more. So I am looking to get some laser treatment done, with skin tightening this year. Also there is 100% natural PRF ( it’s your own blood taken and spin at certain speed, creates pure stem cells and injected to your face it also there is ez prf gel. That spin at certain speed, that creates like gel filler. But it’s your own 100% product, which can be used as filler, to give some volume, but also its a bio stimulators, and makes body to do a work. I decided to do some 100% natural improvement, cause I will not ever going to do any surgeries. There is no way I am going under anesthesia , for vanity 😳🤪 Have a blessed day🙏❤️ p.s I might little bit dramatic, but bottom line is I do not look 30’s anymore, on my face, and being bubbly, very young, at heart, my body still in 30’s, fit , it drives me crazy😂 my husband says that I am over exaggerating🤪, but that’s how I feel lol 😂
Lessons in chemistry! Desi, you sound like a chemist. (Maybe you are?) Your videos have inspired me to give serious consideration and to try products I may otherwise have passed over. I loved hearing you say you went for ice cream. Nice to know fit people can enjoy a treat!
Hopefully I don’t sound as boring as a chemist. 😂 Thank you so much for the comment! I have been researching all aspects of skincare for a long time. Glad to hear that it helps you. 💛💛💛
Hi Desi..i really.enjoyed this video..is there other recommendations for a lower price point? I.hope there is something that can work.as good as the Auteur..
Thank you for the note!! Yes, I’ve been testing a lot of skincare the past few months and will be creating content on more affordable skincare in the future as well. 💛
@@desistark oh that would be wonderful..I am in medical induced menopause due to my breast cancer and my whole face has changed..the hollow ocular eye area..there isn't much I can do except for procedures I was told..I hope to find an eye cream that can help with the signs of aging and menopause. Thank you Desi. I enjoy watching your channel.
You look just fabulous! I'm using the m b r. Right now, and it's doing a great job , with my hyperpigmentation, and texture. I will try this line after I finish what I have in my drawer. Thank you. 🙏🏼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
How exciting! I'm now pulling things out of shopping carts to replace with others. I think I was born with marionette lines yet unwilling to address invasively. A bit confusing to keep mixing up BR, MBR, Calecim and now Auteur in one regimen -- but you always answer our questions, so here goes: Would you recommend replacing P50 1970 with the Auteur toner? Also, this Auteur Definitive Cream -- do you consider it better than MBR Extraordinary? I'd like to one right now but not both. I'm currently using BR's Creme ADN Metamorpique and BR Creme MSR-H for past 2 years. They've been wonderful but I'm wanting to try something even better so was planning to try MRB Extraordinary. Now I'm thinking maybe Auteur instead. GREAT VIDEO!
Thank you!! Yes, the Density Cream is a bit more potent when it comes to tighten and lift. The Extraordinary cream gives more hydration and it’s more of an experience as the scent is divine. Whichever is more important to you more….😀 A short guide to when to use what brand: BR and Calecim in the morning; Auteur or MBR at night. I always keep the actives at night. Calecim you can do both am or pm actually but now I use it only in the am. 💛💛💛🌹🌹🌹
@@desistark This is a very helpful way to transition from one brand to another (your guideline to crreate morning vs night protocols by brand. I'm excited to use more Auteur but have pricey MBR products I hesistate to discontinue even though I think Auteur is going to overtake them in my skincare collection. Also want to give the less $$$ Calecim a fair try and it's too eary to quit. Now I have an easy way to use plus possibly transition. I have just received the Auteur Definitive Line Serum and will start using nightly. If it has any effect at all on marionette lines, I'll be ecstatic! Thank you!
Thank you for this one. I am currently moving towards this for my night time routine. It just makes sense with the type of activities in the products. Awesome content😊
What do you think of the Restoration Cream? Have you heard anything about what kind of new cleansers that they are coming out with? They told me it would be the end of Spring when they are available but haven’t said anything else about them.
Oh, wow! I totally forgot to include the Restoration cream. Thanks for reminding me!! I went through a bottle and I loved it. Don’t like it as much as the Density cream but it is less expensive and super hydrating. Yes, some new things coming up in Spring. I don’t know exactly what either. 💛
@@desistark I've strated most of the Auteur products in your reviews. Since you loved the Restoration Cream, do you think it's an even comparison to MBR Extraordinary or does one fare better than the other in your experience?
Hi Desi! Thanks for the updated Auteur video as your opinion I totally trust! I tried to click on the link to add my email to receive tips, etc. and the link doesn’t work:( I know you’ll fix it:)
I was wondering if you had to pick two only, which would be your favorite? It’s because I don’t think I can afford the whole line but I would like to try a couple of them. Thank you! Your skin looks amazing and you look beautiful!❤
Hi! Thank you for watching and your note! Definitely the Line Serum and Density cream. If you add your own Retinoid (if you’re not sensitive) use all 3 every night; and in 6 months your skin will transform. They are super potent so once a day is enough. 💛💛💛
I bought the machine based on this video ... thank you! It's true it's bulky but it's very rare to find one that does it all - the eye, face and body. And for the price! I am not interested in the laser/fat removal mode at this point as I just want to see what RF can do for the face and body. I just tried the device for the first time last night. It actually felt really good - kind of relaxing. How many times a week - at most - do you suggest the RF for the eye and face? There are two RF probes for the face - the small one for the eyes, and the medium for the face. Is the medium RF probe also used for the body? I think you're the only one who is actually using this device so I hope you don't mind my asking follow up Qs, especially if they are not covered in the manual. Thank you in advance! Just subscribed.
Hi Desi, Do you prefer the Density cream over the MBR extraordinary cream? And what's the best eye serum or cream for lines and wrinkles? The one from Auteur, the valmont V-line or the new MBR the best eye cream? (OR another of MBR)? I use the Auteur eyecreme and the MBR cytoline (eye concentrated and the cream.) And the results are ok but my lines are still very visible. Thank you! And I love your video's and your advice.
Hi! Thank you for your note! For firmness and lines: I prefer the Density over Extraordinary. Unfortunately, crow’s feet take a very long time to fix. I’d suggest keep up with your current products but also incorporate Retinoids if you can tolerate them in that area. The Auteur cream is the most efficient for the price. I’ll continue creating content for exactly specific issues like you just brought up. 💛
Thank you very much Desi! Yes, a content about this topic would be very interesting. Which Retinoids product do you recommend for the under eye area? Kr Nancy @@desistark
Desi you look great and are making me purchase all this luxury skincare. You mentioned you are from the Mediterranean, but I can't make out your accent. Which country are you from, if it's ok to ask? Greetings from Bulgaria.
@@desistark Уаааау каква изненада!! Много се радвам ! Не приличаш на българка, явно си взела славянския ген хаха това е супер. Поздравления за хубавия канал , кара хората да гледат отново и отново, даже видеа които са гледали вече. И действително много приличаш на Линда Картър 🌹😊
Thank you for this video. I nearly have the same routine. But because my morning skincare routine is so extended, I like to keep it simple at night. So after I wash and tone my face with Auteur, I use Composition Nr 1 and the Restauration Cream. But after you like the Density Cream so much , I will put a small Layer of this before the Restauration Cream. I am looking foward to your Special Video of Compsition Nr. 1, because I would like to know, if the concentration of the Retinol Serum and the Line Serum are as high as in the Composition Serum, so that I can keep it simple by using only Composition Nr.1. Greetings from Germany. 😍 Ute
Beautiful results! I started using it last summer after your video. What do you recommend now for the daytime regime in addition to the Auteur at night? I looked into La Prairie but it has controversial reviews.
I also love Ateur. After your recommendation I use a lot. I read description about definitive line serum and it looks like this serum should be use as a prior then the others products ex. toner. So now you use only retinol not retinoids from Curology. Good the hear that you are happy about retinol from Ateur. I use Curology - my acne 😢 thank you that you educate us❤
Do you have any concerns with skin cancer growths using growth factors? I have read so much on this possibility and that keeps me from buying a product with EGF.
Yes I have read that as well. I mean for people who have not had any skin cancer. Can it help grow them? That is my worry! I have seen several dermatologists online who remove skin cancers say to avoid EGF in skincare.
Yes, those dermatologists are referring to people with history of skin cancer. GFs encourage existing cells to grow and replicate faster but they cannot grow cells that are not there or create brand new cells (like cancer cells).
That is good to know! Thanks for taking the time to explain. I see a derm regularly and have no signs of cancers so I will try a growth factor out! Very new to growth factors and peptides so trying to learn from your videos.
Have you tried the SPF oil that they sale. I think it’s called Sun Drops? No one talks about that item. Also, I spoke with Auteur today as I just placed a order using your code and the lady I spoke with told me that they are coming out with a gel cleanser that is to be used in the am and in the pm as a second cleanser to remove your makeup and follow with the enzyme cleanser. So excited of this new item.
I have not tested the Sun Drops yet as thorough as I usually test a product. I’m very excited about the new launches as well! I’ll be receiving soon so will do a full review on those as well. 💛
I tried Auteur because of you and I must agree, that it is a very effective, fast-active skincare line. So, thank you! I am very interested in learning more about Composition NO1 serum. I am sure it is glorious. Have you heard of Noble Panacea before? Have you tried it?
Hi Desi, I am new to your channel and have been encouraged to buy Auteur. My question is: 1) in what order do I use the line serum, the hyaluronic activator and my own 1% Tretinoin? 2) I have been using a growth factor serum ( alternating between Calecim, Neogenesis and Plated) do I need to continue using this with my Auteur routine? If so, should I apply them first after cleansing and before the Auteur toner and then carry on with the rest of the Auteur routine? I also bought the enzyme cleanser, toner and density cream by the way. So, I literally have the complete line for my night time routine but don't know at which step I would use the Tretinoin and growth factor serum. Thank you in advance.
You will have new skin in 3 months! I’m so happy for you. 🌷 That’s pretty much my exact routine. Please, watch my latest video named “How to apply your skincare”. It has the order of products and it will answer all of your questions above. I’ve also attached a free e-book on the Skincare Application order in the description of the video. Feel free to get that as well. Here is a link to the video too: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mqKe-hUWRS4.htmlsi=SdV6uYhZqLvAtcz6
Great video, but i am overwhelmed by the amount of different products that you use. Is it really necessary to combine all these together? Can we only choose 2-3 of these for regular use ?
Hello Desi! I recently found your channel and am beginning to incorporate the skin care products you recommend into my skin care routine. I am struggling with finding a product that would help me erase hyperpigmentation. You had mentioned in this video that all your hyperpigmentation is now gone. Which products in your opinion helped you get rid of that? If you have a separate video regarding hyperpigmentation I would appreciate the link. If not, maybe you could create one? I feel that a lot of women struggle with this issues and would love to hear your recommendations on this topic. Not everyone can/wants to go through laser procedures. Your skin is amazing, and you are beautiful! Thank you in advance. Irina
Hi Irina. Thanks for the note! I’m posting a detailed video on Hyperpigmentation in a couple of weeks. You are absolutely right! Lots of requests on it. Please, stay tuned for that. 💛🌷
I bought the sample box. Wow, after 4 days I looked like I had aged 5 years - not what you want at 60! I didn't use any other products so I could do a proper test, but I just had to stop on day 4 with eyes that looked red, saggy and more wrinkled than before and my skin just looked blotchy. I went straight back to BL Vernix and thankfully I'm looking a bit better but probably need a couple more days to get back to before the sample set. Maybe my skin just wasn't used to/ready for so many actives at once.
Thanks for sharing! Purging is normal if you’re not used to the product. It’s not an indication it doesn’t work, just the opposite. Especially after 4 days. Unless you have a sensitivity or an allergy…I’d start with applying every other day to adjust.
Thank you so much, Desi. Do you use lotion B50 when using the mask in the mornings? Also, what are your thoughts on Auteur retinol vs tretinoin? I know you mentioned that in the video, but if dryness and irritation are not problems, do you still prefer auteur retinol?
Thank you! I normally do not use Lotion P50 if I’m using the Auteur mask. But you can if you want to. Tretinoin is always going to be more potent than retinol so I’d stick with that if no irritation.
Hi again, Desi! I have switched all my evening skincare to Auteur except the Retinol and eye cream. I am currently using Cureology .35%. I am not having any problems with Cureology but am wondering if I should use the Auteur Retinol to coordinate with the rest of Auteur skincare?? My second question is about Optimizing Mask that you use sometimes in the morning…. Do you still use P50 that day? Thank you for all of your informative videos!!!! 😃
Hi! I am so happy for you!! Enjoy the journey to flawless skin! On the retinoid side: I suggest sticking with Curology. Tretinoin is always going to be more effective than over the counter Retinol. Not sure how long you’ve been on 0.3% but if over 3 months and you tolerate it well, may be up the dosage to .5%. Yes, I use P50 every morning. Sometimes I skip when I use the mask but mostly now I use before the mask. 💛🌹
Smart question!! Thank you for that! If it’s formulated by the scientific team in this manner, it’s tested so it has a purpose. Also, sometimes they encapsulate the ingredients so it penetrates independently. 🌷💛
Hi! Thank you! I sometimes use BR products as well. I’ll be posting an updated video with all new from BR soon and what I use from them now. A lot of their products have been reformulated…
Desi, here is my question for you: I am a 56yo skincare junkie who has never done procedures, gotten facials, or anything like that. I have a metric ton of skincare products I use regularly but I am looking for game changers. I've been watching your videos closely because you're literally the youngest looking 49 yo I've ever seen. I watched your skincare do's and don'ts regarding routines and like you, I have an extensive routine that utilizes hydrating toners, AHAs (not every day), peptides, GFs, Vit C, antioxidants, and numerous barrier supporting/soothing/calming ingredients such as ceramides, cholesterol, FA, Centella, etc. Thanks in part to you, I'm now using Calecim's hair treatment protocol and I received two samples of their creams, which I like though haven't used long enough to know what they're gonna do. I've gone ahead and purchased bigger sizes of both creams plus the pink serum and am waiting on their arrival. I'm eyeballing Auteur products right now. Haven't worked up the nerve to purchase anything yet but was wondering what your input might be on the idea of mixing auteur with calecim products in the same routine? I am only using retinol once weekly because I fear my skin doesn't tolerate it that well. The retinol product I am using is Emepelle cream which contains an estrogen analogue (I'm menopausal) for those women medically contraindicated from taking exogenous estrogen (me). Also using their serum which contains the same analogue but without the retinol so I use it twice daily. IF I were to buy anything from Auteur what would be your recommendations for a person with very fair skin that is mature and dry? Or would I be best off sticking with Calecim over Auteur? Do you use both? Thank you so much in advance!
Hi!! That’s a really good note! Thank you for sharing!! And thank you for watching my videos! I really like the Emepelle products. Good quality and complete ingredient list. Calecim is kind of a unique product line because it focuses on utilizing growth factor. Auteur is more focused on Peptides with high concentration. You need both in your routine. I use both. If there is one product I’d buy from Auteur, it would be the Line Serum. But, there is one more thing. I’d try to get my skin used to retinol first. I don’t know what the concentration level of retinol they include in the Emepelle cream but if it’s high and since you use it only once a week, your skin doesn’t have a chance to get used to it. I’d check with Curology. They start you on a 0.01% Tretinoin which is minimal so you can determine if you are really allergic or sensitive. First bottle is free. Other than that, Calecim and Auteur Line Serum are both game changers. 💛🌹
@@desistark Thank you so much for your response. This is very helpful. I will definitely check out that line serum and see about curology as well. You have amazing skin!
One more question, Desi! Does Composition 1 replace the need for their line serum, retinol, and hylauronic serum? I don’t understand how it would be used so have not tried it from the sample box. Thanks❣️
Hi Desi, always extremely interesting content. I am thinking about getting the Auteur products but i did have a question for you regarding that molecule that imitates botox. I was told that botox is not helpful for women who start have sagging as the sagging effect will be more pronounced because the muscles are "relaxed" and less functional to support the skin that is over it. In other words using Botox effect products are not good for sagging skin as they make it worse. This video though describes total opposite, saying that what you found in those products is the best effect possible one can get with beauty products on an aging skin. What do you think regarding sagging vs botox effect molecules? thanks
Hi! There is no definitive data on this and I’m not sure where this theory came from: Botox is usually only applied to forehead and crows feet; sagging is observed in the lower part of the face. Peptides don’t have nearly the same strength even though they are modeled after Botox. Yes, may be after using twice a day for 1000 years, there may be some concern but we simply don’t live long enough to experience that. That’s the case with a lot of other ingredients by the way…😄 💛🌹
@@desistark Hi Desi, my comment comes from a RU-vid video ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FUWJR72eIPI.html ) where Dr Karam discusses this matter at 7:48. Its quiet interesting what he brings up regarding the Botox effect vs the age at which it is injected. What are your thoughts on it? I never did Botox in the past and that was my concern regarding the Synake peptide.
@@AWWLFEven with Botox though - it’s a personal choice. An important question here would be: do you want to sacrifice looking younger in your 40s, 50s and 60s by avoiding Botox just to preserve a slight change in your 70s? Personal decision. And he clearly uses Botox BTW. 😄
@@dstark5943 yes i know, he clearly uses botox ;) thanks for your thoughts. I shall be going to purchase the Auteur program. It seems very promising. I have been using Sisley for over 2 years now (Sisleya et Supremya creams and serums) but i think Auteur are a total other category of products than Sisley.
Hi Desi I have purchased VG tensil serum and A glucagon and amniotic is about two months ago, together with P50 (not 1970 as I am in Europe). Not sure about results tho. I am looking to address sagging around my mouth area and jawline (could also be loss of volume). Should I give the serums another two months and add the elastin, or shall I switch to CALECIM please? Wish I can email you photos! Thank you!! 🙏
By the way I use vit c in the morning and Retinaldehyde in the evening! I have been using P50 before vit c in the morning with no problems. Want something that lifts and firms and still use vit c and retinal ! Thanks ! I am desperate.
Hi! I wouldn’t waste the products so just finish what you have. 😀 I’d continue with VG Tensil but you may need Retinoids at night in addition to growth factor from Calecim. Are you using any Retinoids now?
Thanks Desi!! I finished all my BR products. I have used tret in the past and even daily for a while but in the end I felt it thinned my skin quite a lot. Like paper. So I stopped . Recently I discovered Retinaldehyde and I started using a medium strength one, around 0.5. Retinal is better than retinol and stronger. I still use a c e ferulic . My question is shall I buy the VG tensil again? Shall I add something else like the a glyca and elastin? Shall I give them a go for another two months, together with the P50? Moisturizer I am using a collagen one from Elemis but I feel it’s not hydrating enough, however I think I will give it another go for another month. What else do you suggest please? CALECIM ? Peptides like Matryxil ? (Depology make a good one). Thank you!! 🙏🙏🙏
Well, I still cannot understand why MBR does not seem to care at all about the competion from Auteur. Yes, they even increased their prices in the last 2 months, their Liquid surgery serum was 1500 eur in December, now it costs 1784 eur!!! I wanted to test it a lot but now my chances are much smaller. Sadly.
I have tried both, Liquid Surgery and Composition, liquid surgery is a nice serum but I did not see any results with it. I also only used it for around 6-7 weeks, but no results at all and could not bring myself to spend that much money again and hope I would see something. Composition from Auteur is very effective, but I can't use it every night. It has made my skin look more even and my lines and texture better.
I’ve said just the opposite in many of my videos. I do use Botox twice a year above my eye line. I don’t do any lasers or spa treatments, or anything else but skincare. I am not against them, I just don’t have the time or the patience.
Just found this channel looking for unbiased information on Auteur, but watching this video I really cannot help but wonder how much you were paid by Auteur. Just don't believe you or the price of this skincare.
