I've been watching your videos since i was 16 with hormonal acne and sensitized skin and now I'm 19 with a smooth, bright complexion. Thank you for always making such educational videos!! Without them my skincare journey wouldn't have been so successful!!
Literally just yesterday I was searching your channel for info on this. And BOOM! Thank you...because frankly there are a lot of "influencers" on RU-vid who really have no idea what they're talking about.
So if i make youtube videos, so many people like my videos that it make some decent money off it. Am I an influencer? What's wrong with being an influencer? Is it worse than being a youtuber?
Instead of a new am/pm routine… could you do your WEEKLY routine?! I think this would be so helpful and nobody on the internet does that ! It could be in a more “vlog” like format so we see your thought process and everything.
Hello to all people who have issue with acne. I am 22 years old, and since I was little girl, I suddenly got horrendous acne covering my face. I tried all acne medications available but it was no good. I even tried many diets and advice but in the end i got some metabolism disorder and I ended up with even more acne. My last hope was to try special laser treatments and when that failed too, it seemed I will never find solution. Then I run across this page. It’s name is: *AcneCureOnline. Com* It was impossible to believe, and advice from this site helped me to cure acne! After only 7 days I had first results and after less than two months my skin was free of acne. All this thanks to secrets from this site
Every year she curates a box with wishtrend that includes her favourites, but aside for that no. I'd buy it straight away if Renée created her own line
@@galaxia4709 yes, but She is a professional, there are some great youtubers that provide great info, but a lot of them are skincare professionals including lab muffin (She s great)
I've been watching quite a lot of skincare YTers lately but I always come back to your channel. The amount of informations you give and your knowledge is beyond this world. Your videos are nicely lighted and edited. You also are very friendly too. You are my Lisa Eldridge of skincare - I ALWAYS learn something from your videos. Thank you for being on YT! ❤️ x Davie
AlwaysRemarkable Brooks Good for you! That’s fantastic! I always seem to know more than Sephora employees because I watch these videos and I wonder why they don’t watch them too. I’ve asked, but they don’t seem to watch them much.
Is it weird that I watch skincare RU-vid videos and ALWAYS come back to your channel to see "What does Renee say about this?" to cross-reference the accuracy of the information? Thank you so much for the incredible videos.
Thank you for your suggestions about niacinimide and retin-a! Can you do a video on how you style your hair (a shampoo and coditioner, serum, oil, other product picks) along with showing how you blow-dry your hair to styling with the curling iron. Your hair always looks terrific! I'm sure many viewers would find this very helpful. Thank you!!
BP is actually perfectly fine with most everything, the only thing is you want to wait a few min before antioxidants because they would simply negate each other. They wouldn't react badly.
Sorry that happened, it must not work well for your skin.however, BP can be amazing for treating acne (it worked great for me and besides ruining my pillows, no side effects).
I have stopped watching skincare guru on youtube in the last year since my since cleared up but I'll always watch renee. I always learn something new every time I watch a new video of hers
I have always alternated nights on Retin A and acid treatments. I had read the same thing you mentioned regarding the end results, so why put my skin through the ringer for no additional positive results? 😉It’s always great to have a refresher and reference for this. Anything I can do to avoid angry skin is appreciated! 😁As always, thank you, Renee! 👍
I feel like we've been conditioned to think that if it burns it's doing something. Glad to see that flawed, unnecesarrily painful perception is slowly changing!
@@gothamista exactly....it is deep in our minds. When i started using tretinoin...I did it by the book and no redness appared, no inflamation...and I was wondering ...does it really work? Why doesn't it happen to me also? 🤔🤪 .But my skin reacted differently and it started to purge and some zits started to appear....Thank God that is over now.
Hi. I use tretinoin and have for years, but my dermatologist did say to use it only two nights a week because of black box warnings. I have only used twice a week for several years now and it is as good as when I had every night to every other.
THIS was the skin care video I needed 3 years ago...so now, I just learned here not to use too many actives at one time, so that was why my skin reacted so violently (T_T)...thanks once again for helping the rest of us understand what, how and when to use (and not use!) these actives, your channel is GOLD!!
Renee, I have religiously watched your videos for years now! Sometimes too MANY replays! You have completely changed my skin with how thorough you are. I really owe you! You sparked such a joy in just taking care of myself. Hopefully we can see your formulations one day!! Thank you, with love xx
Thank you for this wonderful honest advice on less is more and alternating on actives. I love Paula's choice and use that line. But why do they tell everyone they can use everything together. It's like they push extra products for marketing gimmicks to sell more. That using all these actives are okay. Less is more, your skin has to get used to it. Alot of people need to know that, I just feel paulas choice doesnt demonstrate that to new customers, And I know it's not necessarily good to use salicylic acid and a retinoid together. Ugh its annoying. I also use adapalane and benzoyl peroxide together and the results are amazing!!!
It's interesting that you mention L-AA can be used with peptides in the same routine since I've heard otherwise, I guess the best way to know is so try it but I'm worried of wasting products by making them less efficient
This acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* was very informative and helpful. I often go through gentle adult acne and this guide discusses all the possible solutions for mild to severe acne whether natural procedures or otherwise. I prefer the natural way of treating them and I found out on this guide the treatments that work efficiently.
It may sound corny but...you will always have a special place for me. Due to your very informative videos my skin looks its best even though I am aprouching 40. Whenever I am in doubt I search your advice on what to use...and this video comes at the time. Thanks and looking forward to more and more.
@@kmp8985 oh no not at all thankfully. Lol But it does stain the skin temporarily. It did freak me out though. And I do have melasma unfortunately so I'm used to hyperpigmentation. ☹
What brand do you all use for your BP? I am a religious user of Tretinion - / hydroquinone 5+ years - ( on 4 months off 3-4) so why would I use a BP? And should I? That has always confused me. I guess I could google it lol but communication and great skincare chat is key to life these days! Also what AHA/BHA are you all using for a switch? ? I’m liking Drunk Elephant BUT recently purchased The Ordinary. Must say very impressed! Thank you. ❤️💋💋
@@amysophia1314 I don't use BP anymore. This was years ago before I found better acne treatments. I think it's good for teens and younger people. I mean it's ok for adults too but it's very drying and there ar better ways to treat adult acne. I had hormonal acne so the BP didn't work for the hormonal acne. I ended up trying a DIM supplement that worked miracles on my hormonal acne to get rid of it. For BHA, my fave is Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid. I've used it now for 20 yrs. Amazing for large pores and gives skin a beautiful glow. For AHA, my al time fave is by Montarbo Skincare Lactic Brightening Treatment. 1 use and my skin was transformed. It is the BEST I've ever tried and I test a TON of stuff. The Ordinary's 10% LA is quite nice too and such a great price but to be honest, I get better results with Montarbo LA. Never cared for the DE baby facial. It's nice but overpriced IMO. I prefer lactic over glycolic for my skin too. Don't forget your sunscreen! 😘
When you use tretinoin,you can pretty much say goodbye to any other form of actives that you can use in the pm,which made my routine a lot more simple,and my skin definitely look better than when I used to just want to put everything on my face
Such good advice here. Before I knew anything about skin care actives, I wanted to try ascorbic acid to help with melasma, so I researched that and found a serum to try, since I don't have access to Retin-A. I used ascorbic acid 2 months and was absolutely Blown Away with what it did for my skin! That's when I got obsessed with actives and learning about anti aging and found your channel. Thank you Renee! Now I use adapalene and niacinamide at night and ascorbic acid and Alpha arbutin in the mornings. My skin looks amazingly better and I really do look younger. I'm overjoyed
Is alpha arbutin brightening for you skin? I bought it but haven’t been consistent with it so haven’t noticed a diff. But perhaps I should add it to my morning routine before I give it away.
@@gothamista Thank you! I've really been blessed by your videos and the education about skin care. I'm 43 and was seeing so many signs of aging but the hyperpigmentation was really upsetting me the most. This combination of actives plus good hydration has saved my skin and I'm thrilled to see the fine lines and wrinkles subsiding and more collagen and plumpness.
@@rubyrayne8 I'm not sure how much the alpha arbutin is helping oh, but I got a bottle of it from the ordinary and I'm planning to use it up. All four of the products I mentioned are supposed to help with skin lightening and hyperpigmentation, and because I'm using them all together I'm seeing amazing change. If I were you, I would try using it every single morning, especially if you'll be outdoors at all
I had epidou for a while. Loves it, yes it's harsher but I needed it at the time. I feel like skincare these days is so next generation than what we had 10 years ago. But somehow most common brands didn't upgraded their formulas..
I really appreciate the information you provide, especially in this video. There are so many brands and products on the market that it's overwhelming. Not all of them are created equal. Could you do a video combination of this info and the brands you would recommend as most effective for each active, please?
I wish this vid had come out last week! I really stripped my skin last week but to soothe and fix my moisture barrier I ordered the cosrx snail mucin essence so it was a blessing in disguise. That stuff feels like magic!
Does thinnest to thickest apply when using hydroquonine? I am using 4% hydroquonine and 10% niacinmide to even skin tone and spots but I’m so confused what order to use them in.
This was really helpful, thank you. I've never really been sure about where and when to add my Niacinamide serum. Great videos for skincare addicts ;-))
Bonus: While benzoyl peroxide does degrade most tretinoin formulations this is much less of a problem if you use microencapsulated Tretinoin. If there is still concern you can utilize BPO contact therapy _(apply the product, wait 3-5 minutes then thoroughly wash it off)_ wait a couple minutes then apply the retinoid. Contact therapy with BPO is nearly as effective as leave on therapy
Please tell me that you will work with Yesstyle on another skincare holiday package. I loved everything in the last box. You can do the exact same package. Especially the I am rice toner and honey mask.
I was struggling with hormonal acmes for a long time, now I am left with acne spots and dark spots... can you please make a video on how to lighten them ???? An effective routine. PLEASE. I will be very thankful.
My son’s hormonal acne (14 years old) has improved dramatically with every other night application of Epiduo Forte...just an FYI since Epiduo was mentioned in the video. Thanks for another super informative video! Also, you have to try the Trinny London under eye concealer, I think you would absolutely love it. Look into it ;)
Honestly, with all these new trends in skincare coming onto the scene, I wish someone would just publish a live spreadsheet on what can and can't be layered. For example, what about bee pollen, snail mucin, honey propolis, green tea, vitamin E, probiotics, hyalauronic acid, ceramides, aloe vera, collagen, peptides, shea butter, sheet masks, etc. ?
Thanks for this video. It is a great help .This really help new users of Asian skin care, with so many steps, products . I have wondered if it would be o.k to use all these together.
QRX Labs has a niacinamide + retinol (and hyaluronic acid!) serum I love. It’s affordable and comes in a 2oz bottle, so it’s twice the amount you usually get in serums. Hopefully the brand is reputable because I enjoy that serum.
Every ingredient can be used together. The only exceptions are Benzoyl Peroxide + antioxidants, and that is only because antioxidants would negate the BP is applied without a few minutes in between.
Sometimes a big issue on our televisions they claim a lot of products will help in just “one day” or short time when in reality this is untrue for most people
Thank you I like the info about Not to cocktail active ingredients. I feel the same that if I do that I’m not sure if I am getting the same amount even if I’m doing it myself by measuring etc. It’s hard to tell which product absorbs another etc. also YES can you give us. Weekly look at your skincare routine.
Ty I have been watching videos on actives and in fact after Watching videos it was so easy to know what to buy and how to use it I’m only 12 I know I’m a bit young to be using actives but it really works 😂😁
@gothamista hi, Renee thank you for clarifying how to use actives. Question? Can niacimide be used with bha? My skin is really oily and tough. Thanks!!!
Hi Renee. I’m a long time user of Ascorbic acid and recently got prescribed a retinoid/hydroquinone cream for melasma. How long did you stay away from Vit C before incorporating it back in your regimen? I’m planning to use ( once I can) Vit C in am and Retinoids at night. Thank you for such well thought out and researched vids
Hi Renee How have you been lately??? your style of video is so structured and I am legit obsessed with it Have you used the new version of is and tree green tea fresh toner?? I wanna use a green tea product in my routine but I am stuck between "innisfree green tea seed serum" and "is and tree green tea fresh toner" any thoughts Thanks in advance
Love this information!! Thankfully I follow ZoSkins “GSR” from my Esthetician and I’m doing exactly what you said. 🙌🙌❤️. I also have my Pharmacist ( a Formulation Pharmacy) mix my Tretinoin w Niacinamide and it’s super creamy as you stated. It’s the best. I use .25 so I can actually use this every single night. Then I mix in my 4% hydroquinone ( ZoSkin) together on 4 months off 3 months ... I have had Fractional CO2 laser peri-orbital as well. But this is YEARS OF baby steps. I had to scale back from .5 % ton.25% for 2 years then tried .5% again and it’s just not worth it to me ... I’m definitely hyper sensitive so ... looks as if I’ll be a .25 % gal for my 40s! 😂 Question: May I ask what you recommend for the Azelaic Acid ? And your choice for the AHA/BHA? I was thinking about The Ordinary? I use their Squalene and Marine Algae serums ... love them .. just started the AHA/BHA journey. Drunk Elephant is the one using about 3 xs a month - depending on my skin. Then I stop my Tretinion... ( RetinA) as of course mixing the 3 would be a disaster for my sensitive skin. Any suggestions would be amazing. My only concern is still an eye cream. I know Dermatologist do not usually feel they are necessary, but I must have a fragrance free hydrating Eye cream. I started the Biopelle Vitamin K ( it’s the only product under $40! ) and then I’m stuck! Their amazing Eye creams are just too expensive- I go threw them way to fast. unfortunately... If anyone has a suggestion for a hydrating Fragrance free eye cream ( I do get Use RetinA every night so no need for Retinol Eye .. IM STUCK! And it gets frustrating! Sorry so long. Your channel is just the best. I love informative skin care info. It’s so helpful. Xo
Ever since using Retin A I noticed my skin can tolerate concentration of actives i couldn’t before and honestly I couldn’t have been happier. Meanwhile, my only problem with using a Niacinamide and retinoids (Retin-A) together is the dryness so I’m always hesitant to use together.
