5 Skincare things we're NOT BUYING in 2024!! 🙅🏻‍♀️

[@rocimo124]

I really love that you mentioned acne and whole hormonal health. I would LOVE to hear more about how you regulated your hormones for less acne and how long it took. It’s the HARDEST thing for me to do.

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

Agree. I dislike the focus on acne solutions always being skincare/topical products, when it reality acne/persistent breakouts can just disappear out of the blue for good with no real explanation. I looked at my diet and wondered if I'd eaten anything different or changed skincare and the answer is 'nope'. It all just stopped at the start of the C-19 pandemic, and the only thing I did differently is stopped wearing foundation on a daily basis for two years. I think it's got to have something to do with it but other than that, I feel the same as you and would love to know why acne and zits just magically stop for no reason (or start for 'no reason'). A new skincare routine has also kept my skin looking the best it has in over a decade. PS= Ages ago I had something called mallassezia folliculitis (aka 'fungal acne') triggered by new K beauty stuff I bought and with tonnes of research I figured out that I had to toss loads of stuff out and switch to using Nizoral (yes, the pink anti-dandruff shampoo!!) as face wash on a once-daily basis until I'd used up two bottles. Then the 'treatment' was done. IT WORKED! There's a website where a really cool person has comprehensively listed products and ingredients to AVOID if you're trying to treat fungal acne, so please do look for it so you don't accidentally keep buying things that trigger your issues and keep you in a redundant, frustrating cycle. Good luck either way in 2024 and I hope you find YOUR magic recipe. 🙏💖

[@kristiet.9315]

I wanted to share this treatment for age spots and to see if anyone has any other ideas. My dermatologist was over 70 but he had a fabulous treatment for age spots on the tops of hands, etc. it was quick, painless, and sometimes he didn’t even charge me if I came in for something else. The tool he used looked identical to the one that burns off warts. It was very cold so maybe liquid nitrogen? The spots lightly scabbed and then fell off taking the age spots with them! When my dear dr. died, I booked an appt. to have his partner do the same treatment - but he didn’t know how to do it! The secret died with my dr. friend. ): I went to a third dermatologist and described the treatment. This fellow hadn’t heard of it either but agreed to give it a try. He just tried it on one spot. It didn’t feel the same - as in it was too cold or something. It took off the age spot but went into deeper layers of my skin than the other treatment. It created a little scar. It has healed so it’s not very visible but I gave up pursuing it. I’m always very careful to put sunscreen on my hands when I go outside especially travelling in the car. My sister has had a lot of skin cancer that has had the be treated so I figured getting rid of my age spots was getting ahead of a possible problem - with the added bonus of younger looking hands. One comment about adult acne. I got acne on my cheeks (face) in my mid 30s. My dr. said it’s hormonal if it shows up as an adult in that way. I used a Retin-A generic. It took care of the acne as well as a large brown spot the size of a quarter.

13:56 I would LOVE to see someone compare using the $350 LED masks with using a red light/near IR bulb daily. The ones from Hooga are $45 and making that known widely could make phototherapy more widely available:)

[@TGRXSC]

Vitamin C is very important for me as Thai (and people who lives near equator😅) It’s play the main role for antioxidants in daytime besides sunscreen. UV index in my country is usually over 10, that sunscreen can’t handle perfectly. Like.. double barrier❤

[@plantitasp]

I live in the Equator literally and vitamin C just mkes break out sadly

[@maeduss]

I live in an American country with a part in the North Hemisphere and another in the South. I live very far from the Equator line, but we do get from frost/ snow very low UV index to extreme heat +10 UV index in my state! Living in different climates and UV indexes through my state, I unfortunately can not tolerate vitamin c very well… Don’t know why! I started in good terms with it, but now my skin just can’t! Tbh, Summer is the time VC seems to work the worse to me! Meanwhile, I can tolerate retinol and those stuff pretty fine! I think it goes from individual to individual!

[@nadiahassan5307]

I definitely see that vit c doesn’t work for everyone but it was a game changer for me. My skin responds so well to it, and I’m still on a mission for a holy grail!

[@ncf7]

Try beauty of joseon vit c serum!

[@Deoxius]

Absolutely the same, I use Ordinary Vitamin C with vitamin F and that makes my skin so pure and fresh. But I do agree that you need to be constant with it in order to get that glow. It is not going to vanish overnight but the more you use it the better your skin gets.

[@Kalidreamine]

Same here. I just finished a bottle of the goodal green tangerine vita c and started another one; I quite like its formulation but I also wonder if there’s better out there 😊

[@oceanequestrian11]

Try Prequel’s Vitamin C serum. They were able to get around Skin Ceuticals patent and it’s only $26.00 vs. $183.00 for the Skin Ceuticals. I swear by it!

[@FrivolousGirl]

I made a similar list last year and I think I'm going to keep with it. Out: Vitamin C, Niacinamide and Hyaluronic acid specific serums - These three are found in almost every multi-serum or cream nowadays and their effects isn't that impressive to be splurging on having seperate serums for each. Acne products - I've also recently managed to biohack my skin so I get much less breakouts. I've also always felt like skincare for dry skin has been better for me. Skincare tools - In my twenties I did spend a large sum on tools that eventually just layed dormant or even was damaging for my skin in the long run. While I feel a bit fomo over infra-red LED masks, I'm very hypochondric about exposing my eyes to certain wavelenghts of light. In: Facials and non-invasive treatments - Going in once a month would be my ideal, but aiming for 1-3 times a year as my skin is in pretty good shape. Skincare that targets multiple concerns - Moving away from products that focus on 1-2 ingredients and offering more of a buffet, with the exception of retinoids. Eye cream - Never felt like I needed one until now. Specifically, eye creams that don't just focus on hydration but do a little more. Luxury skincare - I spent many years on a low budget so I'd like to explore what high-end brands have to offers. But also, my skin has improved a lot since incorporating more expensive skincare in my routine. Rice Ferment extracts & hydration - I've seen a huge difference in the temperament of my skin since focusing more on hydration and pre-/probiotics in skincare. Healthy skin is hydrated skin with good micro-flora.

[@Embrujar]

Hey recommend some that you started using❤

[@jeannetempest9127]

Good points. I recently purchased more luxury brand and on expensive side skin care products like chanel, dior, estee lauder. I use on daily and my go to skincare products from chrissie that has less pricy products but also very pricy products. I have combination and sensitive skin. I started to use retinoil recently as I have fine lines forming in eye area. I recently tried to search for vitamin c product or other serums but I think I will avoid them. I already use mangelic acid for peeling that suitable for sensitive skin and it is quite pricy but it does not make my skin worse. I also bought cooling gel pads for eyes and eye cream just for morning. Also moisturizers. I am curious about what probiotics you use, can you share it?

[@AshYo]

I would love to see the led mask comparisons! There’s so many on the market! You both are the cutest still! ✨

[@megs86-i2k]

Tower 28 (spray and serum) are also good for most rosacea people! Avoid the moisturizer, though. It has two big potential rosacea triggers. But in HOCL we trust.

[@fallenangelforever]

Thanks for mentioning the moisturizer! I was about to get all 3 products.

[@Storm411z]

Thank you Fel for saying it! My skin does not respond well to vitamin C AT ALL!! I’ve spent hundreds of dollars trying to find a formula that would actually do something, but once I found Sulwhasoo ginseng serum that was it for me-no more vitamin C!

[@kanikakaur3991]

same and spent so many years to find the right one. For now the only brightening serum that works well is Caudalie vinoperfect for me. Leaving comment for those who r still struggling and wondering if there's any problem with them. Vitamin C is not always helpful for those with sensitive or acne prone skin.🎉❤

I recommend anything Medik8 make. I have seriously reactive, sensitive skin which scars and takes ages to heal from reactions and trauma and this brand is sensational. I hope you'll give it a try. At night their Crystal Retinal range, starting from the lowest strength, and then during the day their vitamin C & Ferulic serum with a moisturiser and SPF. I'd bet money you'll seriously love something Medik8 have.

[@belindadomingo]

Don’t sleep on microneedling and laser! Highly recommend! I’m not bothering with Vit C anymore either - makes me break out! been using azelaic and tranexamic acids and these have been better. And niacinamide toner to keep the oily down. I will def go check out those sunscreen patches too

Needling and lasers have a bad habit of destroying people’s collagen. Better to protect skin with sunscreen, to keep whatever collagen is left.

[@sarahcarroll8206]

I came to the same conclusion re: vit C vs A. I used to have no issues with vitamin C, even after two years on tretinoin. After increasing the concentration of my tret, though, vit C immediately started irritating me. I thought it was the tret, but it went away as soon as I stopped using vit C. I tried reintroducing it after 6mos figuring my skin was still sensitized from the stronger tret, and still no luck. I might try it again down the line but I figure I'm getting the best bang for my buck with tret anyway. Hypochlorous acid is great. I use SkinSmart and it's not elegantly packaged or aesthetic but it WORKS.

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

Here's a combination for you all to try if your skin is sensitive/reactive: Spritz your face with Avene's mineral water spray and when still damp massage in a few drops of Medik8's 'Super C Ferulic' in the morning-- let it fully absorb. Follow it with Malin & Goetz's 'Vitamin E Face Moisturiser'. Once that's absorbed, follow with sunscreen. At night switch to Medik8's 'Crystal Retinol' starting with the lowest strength and working up to the highest as your skin gets used to it. It's the BEST routine and I highly recommend it for all people with sensitive, acne-prone skin who want to improve clarity, achieve smooth incredibly soft texture and fade any form of discoloration left behind from ancient zits etc. Also great for diffusing pores and creating much shallower fine lines. I love to hear what works for everybody else too. My cleansing routine is always Korean and Japanese but the 'heavy lifting' products are Western. Good luck to all! 💖

[@alisonmercer5946]

I love that malin and Goetz vitamin e moisturiser ! I bought 3 through ipsy and got them a few days ago. Blind buy to try and to sell 2 but I think I want to keep them all because it's such a good moisturiser , barrier protecting and not full of harsh ingredients and unscented but I do find it has this subtle delicious smell that reminds me of honey. It's just moisturiser but I'm so impressed by it😅

I would say keep the vitamin C. Just because something doesn’t work for you doesn’t mean it doesn’t work for others. I would recommend perhaps trying different percentage and change how you are using it. Things to consider don’t use it at the same time you apply retinol or tretinoin. There’s good data stating using L ascorbic acid as antioxidant can help your skin reduce previous skin damage from sun exposures and helps with uneven skin tone such as melesma. As always apply sunscreen for all the things you mentioned to buy to work.

Hi beauties, I don't know if you take requests/suggestions on videos to make, but I would love to see one where you rank products from different categories like moisturisers, sunscreens, toners/essences from lightest consistency to thickest consistency no matter the skin concern or ingredients on them. As someone with oily but very dehydrated skin I always struggle the most to find the right consistency as i'm on the limbo between oily skin products and dry skin products. For example some gel creams (oily skin) are too thin for me but thicker gels are good, and some "normal" creams (dry skin) are obviously too thick for me but those on the lighter side are perfect, so I can't never blindly go by the gel/cream terminology I think most of us that are on that middle ground would really appreciate a video like this ranking popular/requested products (as much as possible tbh) to have some reference to work on and compare when buying new products!! And if that's not possible as a one time video then it'd be great if you include it more often on regular videos like Ro did with her moisturiser suggestions on "the best moisturisers of 2023" video where she ranked them all by thickness!! Thank you for always providing the best videos and info!!

The only “bought from store” skincare tools Dermatologist agree works is red light therapy and micro needling (if done safely and correctly). All the other skincare tools are scam.

Ok this is a serious question, I’m not being cheeky but I always thought hypocloris acid was diluted bleach? We used to use it in one of my old jobs for cleaning certain things. 🤨 where have I been I had no idea this was used in the skin as well very interesting

[@prophetessoftroy]

It’s not bleach, but it is actually the thing that gives bleach disinfectant properties. HOCl is a byproduct of an electrical charge passed through a specific concentration of saltwater. Basically, it’s a super dilute solution of hydrogen and free available chlorine in water that’s got something like 80x the disinfectant power of bleach without any of the harmful side effects. It’s also something that is made naturally in our cells as part of healing. Until Covid, I don’t think most people outside of chem labs or certain medical applications had any idea that it was a thing, except anecdotally. Super cool, right? I think the video predictions are spot on, and that we’re going to start seeing a lot more of it in cosmetic applications going forward.

[@delirium4414]

Bleach is NaCIO. Hypoclorous acid is HOCI, and a human metabolite. They both have chlorine, but slight differences in the compounds change the effect

[@cwazyhooligan]

Wouldn’t an antibacterial product like hypochlorous also kill the good bacteria in your skin?

[@irinapavlovic9238]

what do you guys think of isov cosmetics? I don't see many people talking about it I have recently started going to a Korean clinic after going to dermatologists and aestheticians for years in my home city and in a small amount of time I have seen a positive improvement with my skin (which is acne prone) but I'm afraid in the end it would turn out to be another waste of money,, the dermatologist in their clinic is very kind and has patience with all my questions which I'm not used to, I know Yikes most dermatologists I visited were rude and impatient with me so I just don't want this nice treatment I'm receiving for a change, to cloud my judgement,

Well, Vit C does well for me, but I use a dark pump bottle. If I see Vit C in anything else, I just wanna scream. So Vit C in the morning, Retinol Medik8 (my holy grail ) in the evening, a good sunscreen no matter how the weather is and a faceoil for the winter. Everything else is money thrown out of the window for me. Most important is what we eat. A lot of vegetables and fruits in moderation is key.

retinol is so good it changed my skin so much

For someone (I'll be 34 soon) who has very dry skin in the winter (red and everything) as well as someone with jaw problems (hello jaw surgery later this year) which do you think would be a better investment to start off with the medicube, glow, boost, deep collagen shot, or the derma ems shot? I know they are all very different tools but since I can't get all at once I'm trying to figure out which would benefit me the most.

Good call on expensive skincare. For decades we were brainwashed into thinking expensive equated to guaranteed results. We now know that is not the case and that skincare produces varied results person-to-person. The La Mers of the industry were banking on marketing from celebrities, outlandish claims and brand reputation. I appreciate K Beauty because it strips through that and goes back to basics harnessing tried and true methods that are thousands of years old (rice, ginseng etc). I appreciate any skincare that does what it says on the box with little to no synthetics and fillers. BUT also ingesting food/drink/supplements that kickstart inner heath (beauty within 😉) which will impact your external appearance.

I came for skincare recommendations, but the massage tool that helps with tense jaw and grinding might be a gamechanger for me.

Could you two make a video about getting an even skintone?? ( love u 2 sm 😭💞💞)

My husband and I both got a Halo laser treatment and it’s the best thing we’ve ever done. I didn’t have any major issues but my husband had freckles and sun spots. It’s a one and done treatment if you’re young and the results of clear butter skin are really unbelievable. I’m officially a once a year laser girl

[@selina.yoongi]

amazing. really informative. for me, my acne was because of milk-protein (not the sugar so lactose but the protein) so all kinds of milk/cheese or anything with milk powder. (the milk naturally contains hormones that the calf needs. but not suitable for humans ) so maybe try to eliminate milk for 2 weeks or a whole cycle if you are woman to look if you react to it.

[@katec.4361]

Same! I don’t think I’m lactose intolerant. When I took a break from dairy, my skin calmed down and cleared.

[@rawanmahmood914]

For the sugar and the collagen production, would natural sugar in fruits and dates also have the same effect or is it only processed sugar?

[@suesue242]

For me vitamin C too! Same problem like u. But now I finally just got into Goodal vita-C & just working just fine.

[@BeautyWithin]

Ooooo yes the Goodal is great!! Glad to hear that you found something that works for ya!! - fel xx

[@ryeofoatmeal]

I can't use the BOJ eye serum for my whole face bcos it's oily. but I'm completely fine around the eyes! my skin loves it and I notice my fine lines are looking less prominent

[@SwarNaaaaa]

Me 2 ... Vitamin c dnt work for me..... I stopped buying it... Now i use the ordinary alpha arbutin and niacinamide serum... They work great for me..... After using soo many korean skincare ..... Now i only use isntree moist cream, cosrx retinol, isntree gel sunscreen...they are holy grail for me.... And also hadalabo ok premium lotion.... Jst simplify skincare routine.....

[@paulinewoo9848]

The Paulas Choice 15% vitamin C booster made my normal skin overly sensitive (red, hot, flushed). So I’m now trying the Jumiso All Day Vitamin C which is 5.5% (I think) and I love it.

[@CA_Daby]

Thank you for this vid! I stumbled upon it. It’s very informative and interesting. For the Medicube tools, do you know if they are cheaper in Korea and where to buy? If buying in US, do I buy from Amazon? Do they work? Thank you if you’re able to answer!

[@bhumika290]

My acne kit, steam cell and vitamin C arriving tomorrow 😢 Why didn’t I saw this video before😔 They are non-returnable Thank you for such informative video♥️

[@WeAreVolvox]

a sun screen patch?!?! I've never heard of that😯

[@greentortoise4629]

Jumiso’s Vit C is actually pretty good. I can see my skin difference compare to Goodal Vit C.

[@biancadddd]

Could you share some tips to regulate hormones? Would be really useful!

[@raeruzz7999]

I just bought the Cocokind retinol this week! I love it so far!

[@Iquey]

Expensive because it's good but doesn't need to be THAT expensive: augustinus bader cream It's GOOD, I've tried it and it sinks in nicely and is great for the winter. Expensive because of the technology and it works well: Oneskin peptide/hydration body cream It's a third of the price of augustinus bader and works just about as well imo, but it's less oily and less fragranced so there's less oily plant extracts. BUT it's a great mild, low frills moisturizer for the price so if you're sensitive to a lot of things, I think it's great. Smells like nothing except for maybe like watery milk. And it hydrates longer than average drug store lotion.

[@rowena]

ok honestly, sold 👀😂🤭 I shall try both - thank you so much for the rec!!

[@zakkkkkkkkkkk]

That Beauty of Joseon Eye Cream is the best for me. 💯 recommend!!

[@MinPinSteve]

I can’t do without vitamin c , mainly because I have melasma. 😊

[@anitas_tinkershop]

What do you guys think about niamcinamide from the ordinary or just their serums in general? I think it’s doing something? My skin has always been normal so idk if I even need it. Price is great tho

[@Kay2be2mr]

Walgreens has been selling their hypochlorous acid for years now. No need to buy a skin care or makeup product brand name. Cause I'm sure they're charging you a lot more than is necessary.

[@surpriseitsus9622]

I stopped using toners and essences and I've seen no negative effects. I feel like I waisted my time and money for years.

[@chakho8548]

Vitamin C will only work on me if I'll use it day and night everyday. I was compelled to finish my vitamin c serum in a month because it's about to expire. After one month, my complexion is brighter.

[@ginahires7378]

can you do research on what’s good for woman going into there 50s ?what best for face and lotions for body ?

[@woosann]

which products would you use for the vitamin b in your cycle?

[@blessing291]

just hit 30..i started doing facial yoga ...life changing 🥹

[@marionallen2222]

Copper Peptides all the way LOL!!! Don’t do well with vitamin c cannot use with my Tretnoin at all 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@mushfikaadiba]

No one understands how difficult it is to find a moisturizer(doesn't matter whether it is japanese,korean, american, french brands) without vitamin c, tocopherol(vitamin e), niacinamide, squalane, any sort of oil(almond,sunflower,rosehip,mineral oil etc), essential oils and petroleum🙂 My skin reacts horribly with these ingredients and my t-zone breaksout with cystic acne and comedones🙂 So i skip moisturizers overall and dont get any acne with the disadvantage of always my skin feeling dry even though i have combination to oily acne prone skin type living in south Asia(I live in Bangladesh and currently temperature rises here upto 40 degree celcius and stays within 35-40 degree celcius throughout summer)😢 I dont skip sunscreen though, Skin Aqua came to my rescue there thank God! The neutrogena hydroboost was my staple but they changed their formula to have tocopherol and vitamin c, then i thought i'd reach out to aveeno calm+restore oat moisturizer but last year even they reformulated it to have tocopherol and vit C, most korean moisturizers are loaded with niacinamide or oil😢 I'd have liked to try the krave beauty oat so simple water cream or purito oat in calming gel cream but even those have squalane😭 My battle is never ending. Still haven't found out the perfect moisturizer yet after watching hundreds of influencers' recommendation videos and checking every ingredient list😞

[@timothyfrench908]

I’m no longer able to use topical retinoids because I’m on an oral retinoid for severe psoriasis. I’ve been basically living off of sunscreen and hypochlorous acid.

[@daphniepierre4745]

Would Vitamin A be good enough for an 18 with ALOT of acne scars?. Also welcome back Rowena 😊❤❤❤🎉

[@MeghaMali08]

Please suggest foaming fragrance free facewash for oily sensitive skin ❤

[@malorieharder9648]

Loving Ro's top!!!!

[@rowena]

tankuuu 🤭🫶

[@silvahawk]

Hypochlorous acid is pro-oxidant, should it be used cautiously instead?
