If I Could Only Keep 10 Products... Top 10 Skincare Favorites! AM + PM Skincare Routines

[@SL-og7oz]

Yes to part 2! Would love a top 10 hair tools, hair products, tanning essentials, and body care. Oh & oral care products/tools! We need a top 10 on everything beauty☺️❤️

[@jennysheets3763]

Yesss. It's honestly so helpful to see these updated lists, not only because they're fun and informational to watch, but also because you try so many new products that may not "stick" over time - love seeing updated holy-grail lists. You may try something you like, but it just never tops your HG products. I want to see both the fun, temporary "loves," AND videos like this... products that stand the test of time and are true game-changers. ♡_♡

[@4328898]

Oh my goodness, I ordered the vanicream from the UK and I absolutely love it. It GLIDES on and I love the dewy look it gives. When I've just moisturised, I like my face to look as though I've just moisturised and it does that. My skin had cleared up so much in the few days I've been using it. Not because the vanicream has acne fighting properties but because my skin is so hyper sensitive that all my other moisturisers break me out. So excited to see a winter version of this video!

[@AbbyMcGuire23]

Please do a hair care version! 😍 If you didn’t have this hair color, what color would you do? Would you grow out your natural? Go strawberry blonde? Brunette? I’m curious! 😂

[@angelaconaway3552]

Thanks for the video! This really helps people that get overwhelmed with to many products to chose from. I do have a question…when do you use the needles serum in your routing morn or night? Which tretinoin do you use, is it still curology? And do you use a moisturizer before or after? And which one? Thanks

[@sarabi3827]

Yes to a top 10 on everything skincare, haircare bodycare and dental. You have a great way of imparting factual information in a no nonsense manner, i like your sense of humour which make me want to watch your video all the way through. Keep up the good work loving your videos. Would really like a video on the best haircare video as i have used high end shampoos and conditioners which have not worked and as a result my hair has become damaged. Looking forward to your advice on this subject area. Big fan in the UK.

[@casiewood3340]

Hey Abbey! Hope you’re doing great back home with family and friends! Watching this older video made me think of something for you to try (if you haven’t) I know you’re all about doing things in your routine that keep chances of acne to an all time minimum. I also know you don’t really break out much anymore. However, there are other benefits to this. Mostly, it’s just the antimicrobial benefits, though. Anyway, it’s the clean towels (I use the original XL size) they also have bamboo ones. I make each one last at least two uses. But, it has helped my skin so much. I use it now instead of the reusable makeup towels (which i also love) but apparent any kind of towel can easily harbor bacteria (who knows how much of that is a gimmick) Anyway, just thought I’d share. Last thing.. I don’t know what it is about my skin but I swear every single thing you suggest… my skin loves. And my skin is sensitive, acne prone, gets pissed off so easily. So, clearly you’re onto something with our skin types. Skincare and complexion products… everything you suggest I’ve either already used and loved or use them because of you and love! Keep sharing. Thanks, your ky friend 😂

You have me hooked on Vanicream Daily Moisturizer. I have dry skin and I like it more than my thicker formulas. I also love Timeless Vitamin C, but I wish I could find it in a store. It endures so much heat in shipping (I live in the South), I wonder if it compromises the formula at all. My last one had a tinge of orange in it. Either way, I really enjoy that one.

I would have preferred a 10 products period video. All included . It would have been far more challenging.

[@grazinasiale3267]

I did a “stranded on a desert island with only THREE skincare products” challenge with a few friends. Humid climate. No makeup. I chose a cream to foam cleanser, a high SPF tinted sunscreen which doubles as a moisturiser containing niacinamide, panthenol, ceramides, EGCG, and at a pinch can be worn at night (only 3 products remember 😬) plus my Tretinoin. That Tretinoin is a game changer.

[@nataliegundersen9673]

Just curious, which tinted sunscreen are you referring to? :)

[@grazinasiale3267]

@@nataliegundersen9673 I’m a formulating chemist and can make my own. You’ll rarely find a ss with all those ingredients. Reason being you rarely use a moisturiser like you do a sunscreen, you’d only use a fraction of the amount you’d need to provide you with SPF coverage and that’s not a good thing, I’m not a fan of moisturisers which double as a ss unless you are very diligent. This was a bit of a hypothetical challenge but if push came to shove, I’d use an Elta MD tinted or Paula’s Choice tinted, or one from Colourscience.

[@kellyc3897]

New Sub here! I am 39 and I’ve been using tretinoin for the last couple years, I didn’t really have any aging anyway due to genetics, but this is definitely helping its amazing. See if you can get a prescription either from your dermatologist or from your primary care(where I got mine) I use RX strength .05 (.025, .05, And .1 is the highest strength) I literally pay five dollars a tube and it last me 3/4 months at least!

[@Backwardspajamas44]

@@angelmarie082 the benefit of the prescription service is that it is a compounded formula and you can message your assigned dermatologist with any questions/concerns. It’s all included in the $30/month too. I think I’m at 0.05% tret with panthenol and azelic acid. Also in case anyone is interested in curologys sister company, they also came out with a nice moisturizer and cleanser called cloud care- not sure about pricing as they sent me a deluxe sample but it’s decent

The one she recommended was a Japanese sunscreen! The spf scandal was mainly Korean sunscreens. Since then a lot of sunscreens have gone through third party testing to see if their spf ratings are accurate.

I LOVED the vanicream facial moisturiser so much at first - the texture is something else and so hydrating. BUT.. it doesn't seem to like me! whenever my skin is even the slightest bit sensitised (after using retinol or acids for example), it stings! I can't figure it out, none of the ingredients look remotely suspect but it's only this product that causes this reaction. Have yet to find a replacement with as good a texture...

First of all I wanna say that I really enjoy watching your videos. You are great at what you do and your voice is very comforting and extremely watchable and relateable for me. So, thank you for what you do. Now, for my probably quite unpopular opinion in this group, but for me and my skin this just blows my mind that you are choosing "Just 10" for skincare products. You have stunning skin and are gorgeous!! But for me, that seems like quite a lot of skincare products and my skin would be going wild constantly putting so much on it lol. For me less is more in this category.. But I really did enjoy hearing you explain which and why for each one and it all makes sense but just kind of scares or intimidates my skin I guess. Lol..hopefully I dont have to get attacked for that but it just seems like sooo much to this girl. But I def want to thank you for all that you do, as I really do love your videos and explanations and wisdom and share many haircare likes and products and some makeup as well..although I'm a less-is-more makeup girl too I guess.. Im kinda boring🙄..maybe it's cuz I'm older and have a few kiddos and a handicapped sister I care for 24/7 and by the time it is actually time for ME I run out of energy and don't do as much as I should for myself and my skin🤷 Either way, keep bringin us the good content to keep everyone gorgeous..Now I will have some great recommendations and products to choose from if I decide to add some steps to my routine for sure!

[@hellokimmy68]

Thanks for the recommendations! I already use a few of these (Cerave, Vanicream), so that was good validation. I have rosacea on my face, particularly cheeks and nose, and I have dermatitis on my eyelids. With the rosacea, I sometimes get breakouts, even with using prescription Metrogel. My doctor recommended Differin gel, which I started using immediately. While it did help the pimples and pustules, it dried my cheeks and forehead terribly, to the point that I had dry flaky skin that looked like dandruff. I stopped using the Differin and the dryness was gone within days. Is the tretinoin you're recommending prescription or over the counter? I'm wondering if I might suffer the same fate from it as I did Differin? My dermatologist wrote a prescription for tretinoin for me, but since I'm not a kid with acne, my insurance was not going to pay for it and a tiny tube was going to be $60! Just curious of your thoughts on this. Also, I think I will try the Cerave ointment on my eyes to see what it does for my dermatitis. I've been using Aquaphor, but I'm very curious now. Thanks so much! Very informative video.
