[@miscda]

Renee, I honestly love EVERY single video you upload!!! One can tell that you really try out these products, that you do your research and that you give us your honest opinion. I love how passionate you are about skincare and I feel I can trust you and your recommendations completely.

Bless you for making me discover Boxwalla and The Light Salon. A Queen. Finding your channel has been one of the best things to happen to me this year, so thank you Renée, I wish you a happy new year!!! ❤️✨

[@appelonia03]

Thank You.... your commitment to running in your own lane is respected. Though I watch others, it’s your recommendations that I trust, purchase... and I’ve never been let down!!

[@joshuapeacock17]

this woman can sell me anything and idk if it’s a good thing or not

[@scoldilox]

I bought the 2020 box from wishtrend and my god, it is heaven sent! I live in Calgary so it’s dry and cold in the winter and the products made my skin finally feel deeply hydrated and so soft. Thank you 💖 happy new year

[@susanmcf1]

I'm glad to mentioned "retinizing" more than once. This is my fist six months on a low dose tretinoin and winter dry skin exacerbates my new sensitivity. I just keep layering moisture and look forward to Spring!

[@jeffamunoz]

*Been so excited for this video all year, this truly was my year to learn about skincare being at home all year. You've been the go-to!*

[@JenniferFarleyPhotography]

Off topic: that looks like the PERFECT winter sweater

[@makeupbymej]

I'm thinking the same thing. Does anyone know where it is from? :)

[@doeeyes2]

Oh Renée you've been so good to me (us) over the years.. 2020 has been a trying year!!I 've pretty much neglected my skincare. (Of course I still cleanse, retinol, moisturize, SPF).... but its been long time since ive been excited about skincare or seen it as a luxury. Thank you for this video! After getting thru this year, and devoting my every waking moment to keeping my family safe.. I feel I deserve to indulge! And that "Allies of Skin- Hydrating Cleanser" is calling my name!!

[@shannyndayiragije5006]

I only started using the allies of skin cleanser at the beginning of december but it became holy grail status after first use! It feels so nice to use and actually cleans the skin unlike some other hydrating cleansers I've tried. Happy new year!🥳🥳

[@Mel-pb5xw]

I’ve been really loving their overnight retinol & peptide mask/ cream. So glad to have had a chance to try the brand via CH’s fall skincare box (which itself was a first for me!)

[@Roll587]

The new aveeno serum, from the same line as the cleanser (I use Vanicream) also helps with the retinizing.

[@soulchild05]

Gothamista: 2020 Favorites video My wallet: alright just tell me where to sign.

[@johnsskincarereviews]

Your videos are so therapeutic, yet I always learn so much about products I have never tried! Love and hope for 2021❤️

[@jamesle7180]

This video was a great present for the end of 2020! Thanks for everything Renee.

[@Wealthofhealth_CD]

THANK YOU THANK YOU SOOOOOOOmuch for talking about the fragrance or scent of products and putting it on the screen. No one does this and it so helpful.

[@marconemeth9683]

Klairs Gentle Black Cleanser really works for decongestion and against blackheads. I really recommend it if your skin is sensitive to BHA’s and foaming cleansers but still experience congestion. It’s a holly grail for my sensitive rosacea with oily T-zone. I don’t wear make up but I put sunscreen on every day.

[@annaisapalindrome]

Happy 2021 Renée! Thanks for this video, definitely have the I'm From Rice products in my wishlist now. I also bought a Nuface in 2020 and have been amazed at the results, excited to watch your microcurrent video!

[@seashells-seashells]

Earliest I’ve ever been! Thank you for all your content, giveaways, interviews with specialists, and etc. this year! Belated happy birthday, Renee (fellow Sagittarius here), and a safe/ happy New Year to everyone reading this! :-)

[@Shelbycronin]

How am I just now seeing your content? I feel like you are the only one talking about Paula’s Choice! It has totally changed my rosacea. Love your videos!

[@Itssimplysteph90]

The Farmacy Honey Halo Moisturizer became my holy grail night time cream. It’s so luxurious and moisturizing. So worth the hype and price.

[@senator5472]

Bakuchiol is pronounced as: bak-oo-chi(as in Chinese)-ol since the name is derived from the bakuchi plant in India.

[@Carolineds16]

I just discovered this channel. I love listening to her talk. She is so informative and enthusiastic.

[@doeeyes2]

[@xMizunderstoodx]

Love how Renee mentions low and high price point for each category. Looking out for our wallets here!

[@manhac7541]

When do u use led mask? What do you use put when using the mask? Can I use tret after the mask my night time routine please please reply love from Uk 🇬🇧

[@ornellansoki]

Yay finally!!!! I’ve missed your videos so much. Thanks a lot for being such a revelation for me this year, you’ve pretty much set me on the road to starting a decent skincare routine (I’m 34 so I’m not sure how my skin hasn’t fallen off over the years with no sunscreen usage whatsoever 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️). All the best for the new year and keep the sharing of skin knowledge coming 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

[@callalily4052]

So many interesting products and formulations, this is a super video. I have been so hit or miss this year and I always sort of wander around in skin care videos anyway. My point is that your skin is *definitely* plumper this year than it was last year. I noticed it long before you got to the gadgets and mentioned it. Whether it's from the gadgets or the retinol or both - who knows? You look great, thank the Gods that 2020 is over and we'll see you in 2021.

[@gemiem7434]

Hi Renee, could you possibly do safe skincare and eye care for pregnancy? There are so many ingredients we can't use, so I'm using the most basic creams 😩 my skin has also changed from oily to dry. Thanks!

[@Brutus1580]

Paused and went straight away to Dr. Sam’s site to purchase her azelaic acid serum. Didn’t even dissect ingredients list. You are my fully trusted skincare WORD!

[@ColletteC2106]

Happy New Year, Renee! Wishing you, and yours every good thing in the year to come. You are such a lovely light in the skin care world. Thank you for always caring enough to answer my questions, and offer advice. You are greatly appreciated!! Much love, Collette :)

[@marjan3010]

I have been using NuFace for almost 2 years consistently. I love it! I have seen a difference when I was not using it for two weeks due to traveling overseas. Thanks for your recommendations. Happy New Year!

[@annaheath5232]

I just stumbled on you today and I've only watched 2 videos so far but I'm already obsessed with you! You're so eloquent! I really enjoy listening to you talk and love how information-packed your videos are. I can't wait to watch every single video! XO

[@Mel-pb5xw]

YES that Dragon’s Blood Oil Cleanser is HEAVENLY. Also a Boxwalla find for me & while I haven’t repurchased yet I do fully intend to down the road (aka once I’ve worked through at least most of my oil cleansers!) As a side note, I’m also a massive Boxwalla fan; have been w/ them about a year & a half now & while of course I have my favorites there’s only been a single item I haven’t liked/ been able to readily use. I also really appreciate the every other month schedule - it feels just right - & even enjoy the great repurpose-able boxes things arrive in! Highly recommend the service to anyone who might be considering it.

[@AboutFaceProductsLLC]

I have been using the NuFace consistently for 2 years 3 x a week and I definitely see a difference! I also now use this LED Salon mask instead fo the other bulky one. HAPPY NEW YEAR RENEE! xo

[@Peachlover345]

I feel like I’m still making my way through your 2019 favorites 😂

[@scoldilox]

Omg I have the I’m From Rice Serum displayed on a marble tray in my bathroom (the pretty products go there lol) and only use it as a “treat” once or twice a week because I don’t want it to end! 🤍

[@beccacasebolt1040]

Your recommendation of the boost mask seriously helped me this year. I spontaneously developed roscea that was out of control and with the LED light my skin is no longer freaking out. THANK YOU

[@veronamasongsong5607]

Excited to hear your comparison thoughts on nuface/ziip. I miss my ziip so much now that I'm pregnant and haven't used... not sure if I'm allowed to or not. But would love to hear your thoughts on these!

[@jenniferlee9029]

Yes!!!!!!! The best video on KZbin every year!!! Thanks for the awesome videos this year!🥰

[@Hnin11]

Yes, skincare devices video please . I had bought nuface 3 weeks . But now after watching many other devices reviews , I am starting to confuse & concerned whether I made the wrong choice .

[@MaryannPalazzolo]

Thank you for the skincare favs! I love your videos and your recommendations. This was a great roundup of all kinds of products for different needs and price points.

[@km4186]

I love your content so much, You are the skin care influencer I watch the most as well as a few dermatologists here on KZbin. Thank you so much for the details you give! I can see your passion for skincare, it is so enticing! I would appreciate time stamps on your videos as I often watch your videos like this several times to determine which product is best suited for me. Appreciate you! ❤️

[@lakershaolivarez1034]

Happy New Year! Thank you for all the wonderful information you provided in 2020. Many blessing to you in 2021.

[@Catie11]

Yes your skin is radiant and glowing. It looks so plump and hydrated..

[@lynndecarlo6704]

Thanks so much Renee, I've ordered most of these products. I wait every year for your favorites. Happy new year!

[@withlovedianne6103]

I love the way you express yourself, really enjoyed this video !

[@user-yr5px3cs3g]

the peach & lily mist and eye cream were some favorites of mine this year as well!

[@Mermaid_sea611]

You are the best Gothamista! Thank you, I love your content!

[@zeinshamma5593]

I look forward to your yearly favorite! Can I use c E ferulic under brightly?

[@lorisorel6312]

I just received my Klairs cleansing oil, bamboo toner; rice serum and moisturizer. Hopeful for a skin revival in 2021 😊

[@2twentysix]

I think D, all the above, as I have personally dived much deeper into a better skincare routine this year. Thank you 🙏 Happy New Year 🥳

[@mmaolisae3675]

Happy New Year! Thanks for all the great content you put out in 2020. I especially appreciated your Black owned skincare products video. Can't wait to see what you share this year! 🖤🖤

[@anasamuel9754]

Want to try these throughout 2021. I hope I can get them in Europe . Thank you Renee. You make these products so appealing!!

[@mariewarne5727]

I'm due for some new products. Thanks for the recommendations. I hope you have a new year full of good (skin) health, peace and joy x

[@misanak2691]

I look forward to this video all year. Thank you, Renee!

[@RPng]

*Renee uploads a video* My wallet: My time has come.

[@sethrintatu]

hahaha!

[@GreenLifeInDublin]

I couldn't have said it better myself :)

[@joperez8003]

right?? If Renee worked in retail I would simply buy whatever she told me to

[@harrymercer749]

I’m addicted to your videos omg, your skin is FLAWLESS 😍

[@jessy2280]

Thank you for such great info!! I am intrigued to purchase the peach and lily mist… could I use that during the day? And at night? Would it compromise my spf ethicacy? 😍

[@theajayieffect]

The Lovinah oil is a dream. That smell...so amazing ❤ I have the I'm from Rice, Beneath Your Mask and Klur products. Got them after your reviews! Happy New Year!!

[@stephanieross5252]

Enjoy listening to your sharing, it was so helpful!! I totally agree to having a pared down regime with all the masks wearing these days. I recently tried out RE:ERTH, their serum works really well for me, my skin feels so bouncy, and have you heard of the white turmeric that goes into their serum?

[@Lyranlight11]

Have you tried the Sola wave wand?? Would love a review ❤️❤️

[@hollycheshire4603]

Been excited for your 2020. faves! Do you have advice for skin on roaccutane? like skincare safe to use during and after? Can't find anything on your channel about it! Happy New Year x

[@christiek470]

Yaaaay! Thank you so much for posting this, Renee 🤩 Wish you a happy and healthy new year! 💖 Here’s to great skin health to everyone out there 🎉🎊 Just finished watching 😊 Bought the Barrier Sanctuary Balm after watching your IG video. It’s been the most fav discovery this year, thanks to you! It’s a luxury blanket on my face at the end of my nighttime skincare routine 👌

[@Luvanmusiq]

You and this video are the perfect end to 2020! A big thanks for introducing me and the fam to Rovectin via your holiday box! Happy New Year 🥳 🎊

[@skykata598]

Love your videos! Thank you for helping me find some great effective products this year! Happy and safe New Year to you!💕

[@giadac.8677]

Thank you!!! Watching this is a great way to start the new year :) Wishing you the best.

[@janeosun]

could you do a brand review of indie lee please? :) happy new year renee!! i hope you had a wonderful holiday.

[@girseam]

Can you do this but featuring products from Black-owned or Latinx-owned brands?

[@TracyD2]

Ok thank you but what have you been using on your hair. It’s looking luxurious.

[@MrKitti718]

Hi Renee! Hoping you'll see this. Off topic but would you use pyunkang yul essence toner in a diy cushion foundation? I saw you mentioned that you would add an essence. Thanks, jenn

[@rachelfreeman4048]

annnd Renee does it again!!!! Another exceptional skincare video!! brb buying everything!!

[@anaduarte1669]

Have a great 2021...and many videos for us 💕💕💕🎊🎉🎊🎉

[@w.w.w.n]

Happy new year 🎉 some of these will just fly into my cart. Wish I meet the right one for me in 2021- talking about sunscreen!

[@lornaoyarce1355]

Hi Renee, Happy New Year! Again, thank you for everything you do to make skincare so much more fun and the nerdy science stuff more accessible. So I have a stumper for you. I have some very long surgical scars (greater than 18 inches). If I were living in Korea, what would they have me use to reduce the appearance as much as possible? I read that Guerisson 9 Complex is suggested, but that was the only thing I could find. Thoughts?

[@simonyetmerah]

Hi Renee, thanks for the video! Just wondering why the P&L Glass Skin Refining Serum didn’t make it to your 2020 fave...

[@mdpeach]

Hello, will you please do a video on how you calm or restore your skin when it's retinizing?

[@brysond202]

Cleansing oils are my favorite part of a skincare routine. That dragons blood cleansing oil looks incredible😍. (Add to cart)😂

[@TheSnowReport28]

Same! I love the neutrogena body oil for double cleansing 😍

[@AntoVidz8]

I usually stay away from Aveeno cuz they’re always over scented but that oat cleanser I’ll try..

[@TheSnowReport28]

Their calm+restore line is really good!

[@playagamelp2441]

I’d love a video all about exfoliation (the different ingredients to look for, the types of products, recommendations etc.)

[@sharonyoo9340]

Would you share your insight on the Klairs SPF discrepancy? I'm sure it was in this before the discrepancy. Would appreciate some commentary on this.

[@SaltyBa83]

its the purito sunscreen but same manufacturer of klairs soooo..

[@sharonyoo9340]

@@SaltyBa83 @Lodol Lee Thank you. Klairs pulled their entire SPF line. Also wishtrend (collaborator of gothamista) also pulled it from their site and is giving money to people who purchased it. She didn't mention it this year although it's been a running favorite for years.

[@melbygrace]

I agree! Great focus in 2020 on skincare! I love everything you introduce us to!

[@KateHasCats]

I just got the Glass Skin Veil Mist the other day and am already loving it! I bought it on a whim because the most I was going to buy (a repurchase) was out of stock, so I was unsure of how I would like it. It’s great.

[@MsHalloweenDiva]

Thank you so much for the Youth to The People Eye Cream rec. I am loving it so much and really helps my dry under eyes.

[@fayaziz8860]

Hi Renee. This is awesome. I’ve been using NUFACE for the past 3-4 years 6-7 days a week and the result, OMG is fantastic. And recently I purchased the Trinity wrinkle reducer, LED red light attachment, so it’s a lit time time consuming. Now that I see the LED mask you’re using, I’m thinking to get mask instead. What do you think? Thank you and Happy New Year❤️🎉

[@marirodriguez9795]

About the Nuface. Do you wipe off the gel it comes with after use, or do u rub it in and leave it on after? I find it's sticky and doesn't feel good on the face. What do u use? The gel it comes with or u buy something else.

[@karmaleenash2841]

Lovely video and time for me to up my skincare game for 2021. Thanks for sharing! 🤍👀🤍

[@irene8813]

Looking forward to your video on devices. Also, I've been hesitant to use the Nuface near the throat so don't use it much on my chin either. Where do you avoid?

[@nphardin1]

Your videos always make my day! I absolutely love your content. Wishing you a safe and happy New Year! 🎆

[@mimiywan]

Thanks for the video, your skin always looks so glowy. I can't do all those serums etc but I am going to use my Nuface based on your video and maybe consider the weird mask thing. It was tough to find the lip balm, Bergdorf's has it, and I hope it is fabulous.

[@mimiywan]

Okay the lip balm arrived and it is AWESOME, would never have found something like this without you! Thanks again

[@ChristaEvelyn]

As always - informative, honest information. So appreciated!

[@leichtsinnig3256]

thanks for always finding a way to teach us something new in your videos!

[@archanabhadane7484]

Thank you thank you. Please will you elaborate collegen booster serums? .

[@roseannpacheco6970]

I just keep making a list of your recommendations so the next time I am needing to purchase something I refer to it.. loved all the suggestions in this video

[@jananiethirraj]

Renee, this video is so great!! The best way to wrap up 2020!! Have you tried the brands living libations/the innate life? Would love to hear what you have to say about it! Oh and Happy new year! ❤️

[@asaddanka]

Hi Renee! I was curious about layering the sunscreens because I’ve read on many different sites that spfs (especially if one is mineral and the other chemical) should not be mixed or layered because they could interfere and negate the protection. Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

[@LaLluvia722]

Layering is fine, just let the first layer dry completely first!

[@lenaawad91]

Love all your videos ❤️ can we please have a video about facials at home specially during these times?

[@meganryan9945]

Just love you and your recommendations! Happy New Year🍾🥂

[@aucoin2013]

I had purchased the Nuface twice. Each one died, after less than a year of use. :( Wondering if there's another device which lasts longer.

[@Brutus1580]

Hi Renee! I just received my Dr Sam’s azelaic acid serum. How do I pair this with vitamin C in my morning routine? Can it be used in the same routine or should it be alternated on different days? Thank you!
