I thought it was funny how my final two was an acid and a sunscreen ingredient. Very revealing of what I most want for my skin at this moment: exfoliation while protecting my skin from the sun and preventing more sun spots from popping up.

@fab9652 4 года назад

Wow, wow, wow.... what a fun video/IG idea!!!! I had so much fun participating and then seeing how the end results compared to how I voted when you had it on your stories. By the way, I voted for retinol because I haven't tried tret. Same with matrixyl, haven't tried it. centella won for me, in the same way glycerin won for you; it soothed my skin at times I thought all hope was lost.

@LabMuffinBeautyScience 4 года назад

Centella is fantastic! It's interesting that it didn't take off til it was in K-beauty, even though LRP Cicaplast has been a cult product for so long!

@schmeekie1 4 года назад

Wait, if we're doing science-based results for anti-aging then sunscreen should always win. The problem is that not all sunscreen ingredients were in the bracket and the ones that were might not be people's favorite.

@LabMuffinBeautyScience 4 года назад

I agree! I think if "sunscreen" was a contender it would hands down be the winner.

@girliegirl57 4 года назад

For an azelaic acid product with a nice texture, I've been using Paula's Choice 10% Azelaic Acid Booster - I LOVE it, look forward to putting it on every day! The lightweight, sink-into-your-skin texture was the first thing I noticed about it. I have just ever so slightly oily skin, this felt moisturizing AND not at all greasy - I think all skin types would love it. Definitely give it a try!

@user-gf7ud3qp7h 4 года назад

@alexandra109 4 года назад

New subscriber. Came over from Hyram. Loved this! For me Tretinoin is much more effective than Retinol. The amount of difference in my skintone and reduction in wrinkles in the year I’ve been using it has me believing in it over everything else. I’m 42 and I think I look better now than I did when I was 35.

@reginamalina1273 2 года назад

@SusanIvanova2257 4 года назад

Maybe because of availability? I'm in Germany, the only way to get tret here is through a dermatologist prescription. Which has a long waitlist if you're not a urgent case. Also, other people might have more sensitive skin than you this leading them to prefer retinol. Or it might not fit their skin concerns as much, why go through the whole tret dryness dilemma if your skin is mostly good and you just want to do some prevention and hydration with your skincare. If you have next to no acne and no serious aging yet I can see why someone would choose a skincare regimen that isn't as harsh. Or someone who already has seriously dry and sensitive skin would definitely think twice about trying tret

Love seeing so much of your personality! I think this is the video where it’s showing the much so far. There was a lot of ingredients I haven’t even heard of, I want to research them and would love it if you made a video about the more uncommon ingredients. I’m Swedish so maybe that’s why, for example I’ve never even heard of Tretinoin (probably only exists when prescribed here)

@TheFierina 4 года назад

@i.m.hidden2788 4 года назад

Tretinoin & Matrixyl are my top two. Can't pick between them. lol. When I was younger, My top 2 would probably have been niacinamide & lactic acid, back before i had my rosacea under control. Fun activity & great video! Thank you!!!

@HarryLovesRuth 4 года назад

Somehow your bracket worked out to the way that I would prioritize my various products if I had to rank them if I had to give them up. We are very smart.

And I’m looking forward to the video on Azelaic acid products. I have mild rosacea and I tried TO and Skinoren Rosacea and hated using them because they were both very matt. My skin is on drier side.

@LabMuffinBeautyScience 4 года назад

I don't know if it's possible to make an azelaic acid product that isn't pretty matte... have you tried mixing it with an oil or other moisturiser?

@thebeautyeconomist5700 4 года назад

Lab Muffin Beauty Science is it ok to mix it? I’m always worried to make the formula less effective if I mix it with something?

@@thebeautyeconomist5700 It could make it a bit less effective, but if the alternative is not using it or using significantly less, it's worth a try!

When you first posted about this on Instagram, I thought for sure your final bracket would be Tretinoin vs. Vitamin C! I severely underestimated your dedication to Glycerin though lol. Also, I was so disappointed that the popular vote picked Retinol over Tretinoin, ugh.

@classicallydiana8255 4 года назад

I honestly can’t even remember what I ended up with 😂. It has to be either Glycolic or Centella...two ingredients that I’ve actually seen results from. Although, it could’ve also been Retinol or Vit C 🤔. This was fun!

@briesullivan883 4 года назад

Can you do a video on how to get the most benefits and product absorption out of our sheet masks?

@theyogainn Год назад

My final showdown would have been zinc oxide vs centella. Sunscreen is the most important, so you can’t not have a sunscreen filter in the final imo. Also, chemical sunscreens irritate my eyes. Zinc oxide is a life saver for me (when I can find it in a sunscreen that doesn’t have a white cast). And centella is just amazing. I feel like it’s soothing, helps speed up wound healing (I put it on any little cuts I get), calms down my redness, and gives me a more even skin tone. I have more dry/sensitive skin tho so I’m biased 😂

@michellegoldsmith 4 года назад

@MaxineV 4 года назад

I found it difficult because although my skincare routine is minimalist. Many ingredients came to my skin rescue with the acne when I was a teen to my now rosacea... It was indeed difficult to pick the ingredients. I would be very curious to find out what other people include in their daily skincare regiment; that could be fun info.

@montananerd8244 Год назад

Lol one great advantage of super dehydrated skin: you can layer so many serums, toners, essences, & moisturizers, so u can get full servings of numerous ingredients. My faves are niacinamide, urea, glycerin, squalene, ceramides, peptides, glycolic acid, lactic acid, alpha arbutin, HA, PGA, jojoba, safflower oil, lanolin, petrolatum, beeswax, witch hazel, clay, baking soda, vinegar, and aloe...and I get all of them daily except lactic & glycolic acid. But I still really need a licorice extract product.

Though not a big fan of overhyped charcoal products, once on my industrial project I visited coke ovens where coal is baked to make coke. When we came out of that chamber with coal, coal powder was all over one of my hand , I quickly washed it and oh boy the hand that I washed ( application of coal) is so clear than other ( we were working in hot sun n pollution all day got super tanned). So there is a probability that coal do work but I still have this feeling that it's a bit harsh for face
