I'm only a few seconds in, but I love your outfit 😍 Edit now that I've watched it lol: it's so nice to see how many different options there are for good skincare. I know I sometimes get caught up in what is the "best" ingredient or product. 'Should I be using bifida/mugwort/ceramides/etc to fix all my problems?!' But really, there's so many great options to help heal & take care of your skin! A lot of it is just preference and consistency.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Absolutely!! I’ve been on a quest for the best for ages, but ultimately-that’s my take home after all these years. There are so many great options out there ☺️

I haven't tried the "egg" yet, only their lipid gold, but I'm excited to scramble some eggs! I also love the Aquaphor for what it does to my skin. I now use pure lanolin at times too, especially for my lips, because my skin really responds to it. Though I admit the pure lanolin stinks quite a bit when you first start using it, or at least it did to me, until I got used to it. Now I don't even notice the smell. But then I'm the lone person who also loves the smell of tamanu oil.😮

[@TaylorOwen]

I just started tretinoin .025% in the PM and Clindamycin in the AM and they have both really helped clear up my active acne and even my skintone in recent weeks. Then I got a PR package from Lily Silk and of course used four new products all at once last night and this morning… then I went to apply my makeup and noticed a hundred or more little pustules around my jaw and cheeks… needless to say, I’m concerned! But I found your video on their pudding moisturizer I used and learned it broke you out in a similarly described reaction. You have helped me stay calm the last 12 hours. I have my fingers crossed that this will resolve itself swiftly. ✨💖✨

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Ah so sorry to hear! Yes it’s incredibly frustrating to see that 😩 thankfully, a good calming routine really can help your skin bounce back quickly!

[@hollyrodgers8077]

I just stumbled across your channel and to find a skincare content creator with my EXACT skin type is so encouraging! Also I’m going through the exact same thing right now with my barrier. I’m wondering if I might even have to stop Differin (at least for the colder months) because the flaking, dryness, and sensitivity is so bad

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

How often do you use it? You might be onto something as I was up to every other day this summer, but moved to once every third day even before the reaction. The changes in season are tough for balancing out our routines! 😳

[@jessicagainey7671]

I’m not a huge fan of all Murad products but the Oat n Peptide cleanser is really nice. I also have the same skin type as Alice. Love your approach to skin care! Everything you say totally makes sense. Thank you for pouring your heart out to make awesome content for us. Lots of love ❤

My skin feels vicariously soothed just watching this video lol! I haven't added oils before when I'm trying to heal my skin barrier, so good to know how well that works for you, since I have dry skin too.👍

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

It’s so helpful, especially at night. Without adding that final occlusive, I sometimes wake up with uncomfortably dry skin when my barrier is compromised. The oil step helps prevent that!

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I live in a high elevation, and quite arid environment. When fall hits, I find I need barrier repair. I dehydrate easily. I use oils, mostly in the evening. It seems to help with actives. I usually apply after actives and before sunscreen during the day.

[@justilou1]

I had the same problem with Dr Ceuracle Kombucha Essence. I didn’t love the smell to begin with, but it began to smell almost cheesy/feety. I had been using it every day down to my boobs, so not slow. I have also found the Mary&May to be much more effective and pleasant to use.

OK, I’m going to be that person, I wanted to mention for those of us with Combination- sensitive skin that one of the things I have found to be really helpful when I’m highly reactive, sensitized is using a high frequency wand. I don’t know how that works for people with dryer skin types but I find when used properly (Penny Smith has a great protocol on her channel), it really calms my skin after a few days, a reactivity or barrier compromise.

Hi Alice! Sorry your skin is suffering a bit. Was wondering if you've ever tried ceramiaid? Kelly driscoll put me onto it. Can purchase from yesstyle. I've got a tube of the cream. It's lots of vaseline but with ceramides and amino acids. Might be a nice alternative to aquaphor? I've not slugged with it, but I use it around my nose which is always sore from allergies and it seems to help. Might be worth a try on your next haul. Much love from the UK! X

[@estellawong365]

Hi Alice. I love the strata gold liquid and applying it with the hydration moisturizer not using the egg structure... 😅 My skin is now facing skin barrier reaction too and the acne breakout is also a feeling that I identify with. Liquorice root extract in oil to control sebum and noni oil is needed for my dry skin while dabbing the RNW serum with the acne spot treatment is the way to remove bacteria. It's okay, my skin is reactive too and I am alright with certain fragrance in a product. 😊

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

That sounds like such a lovely routine! What do you use for licorice?

[@estellawong365]

@@AliceintheRabbitHole I use the Viegano licorice root+ tranexamic acid serum. Nice texture and not too oily. ☺️ There is also alpha arbutin and panthenol as the comfort ingredients for irritated skin.

[@johnmichaelarnaud]

And this is, for me, the worst time of year to have an issue or experiment with something new. Whenever fall hits, with its drier, colder weather, my face is in a precariously balanced place. I never introduce anything new, and I cut back slightly on the frequency of actives until my skin regains its composure.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

You are very wise! It really is a tough time of the year on skin 😔

[@cjaneg97]

I use that Tamanu oil mixed into my moisturizer all year round (I just adjust how many drops depending on the season). I am very sensitive to scents but I find that mixed into a moisturizer it doesn't bother me. The one down side is the variance in price I've paid anywhere from $5 to $20 Canadian for it (unfortunately these days it's closer to $20).

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

That’s the exact K-Beauty pricing that I have yet to figure out!! Good call on mixing it. WOW, at 100% tamanu, we get to experience the scent on opening that bottle 😅 (and yet it’s so unbelievably soothing - worth it!)

I relate so much to that. I switched entirely to micellar water in the AM in New Orleans - that city’s water was so hard on my face! Glad to hear you figured out a routine that works for you ☺️

[@SandiTink]

My fave oil for when my skin freaks out is boring, plain jojoba oil. If my skin is incapable of tolerating water, jojoba gets the makeup off, and Cetaphil for dry skin is the second cleanse. And, yes, I do put more jojoba oil on later before I use Vanicream Daily Moisturizer. Then, I use whatever cica cream I have on hand. My occlusive is plain shea butter. So far, that’s what works for me.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Jojoba is such an underrated oil! Great choice, and glad to hear it works so well for ya ☺️

Alice, I'm in the same state as you are today, I don't know what I used that caused a reaction, I think it was the sunscreen, but I've been trying to get my skin back with La Roche Posay cicaplast baume cream and then a layer of aquaphor on top. I'm thinking about doing a patch test for several days before trying new products, even if they are the most basic ones, however, products with fragrance like the Chogongjin line suit me well. A hug Alice and I hope you recover soon 😘

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Thank you so much, hope your skin bounces back quickly too! Phew it’s so frustrating. That’s probably a really good idea to do multi-day patch testing, especially as some reactions can be latent.

I have been like a mother force feeding her kid with all things supposedly good and healthy - my skin complained with angry red spots all over and little crops of whiteheads. I had no idea what to do - stopped most stuff and applied cortisone skin cream (skin police - don't pounce!) Fortunately healed in a couple of days. The ginseng oil from the HoW set is so, so good. Only used a couple of nights. My crepey upper lids have almost smoothened out. Stratia has come out with a lipid gold eye cream. (The BOJ revive eye cream made new deep crow's feet and new terrible under eye wrinkles appear with one use. (I have been using 0.1% tretinoin for my face × 2yrs.)

Oh definitely a better deal. I’m planning to reorder through Vana when I need to. Expect it no sooner than 2 weeks, and know it could be 3-4 weeks. The shipping speed is the trade off for the prices 😅

🦌😂 Oat should be in the cleansing product for a person with eczema. It protects it from getting to discomfort.

Good point!

I’d like to join the EGG cult… I egg twice a day. In the am I have an egg with the ordinary’s Azaleic acid. At night after retinoid, I egg with my peptide cream, sometimes it’s a 2 yolk egg. I just received the interface but have started it yet. I’ve been egging with the Acure radically rejuvenating night cream. 😂

[@andie1508]

@whatnext715 that's a great peptide cream, the Acure one.

[@rhileynnna]

I just bought the rovectin conditioning cleanser from one of your barrier support video. I’ll be trying it for the first time tonight ! They repackaged it, do you know if it reformulated? Still excited regardless. I needed a good basic cleanser that’s not a cream cleanser.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I thiiink it’s still the same? Looks like they’ve just updated all their packaging. Good plan for an in between, that’s a lot more gentle than most KBeauty cleansers but yep, still foams ☺️

[@rhileynnna]

@@AliceintheRabbitHole I’ve been scanning the ingredients and I cannot find the centella! Think they might have reformulated:(

[@jhvoorhies]

​@rhileynnna they reformulated at the end of 2022 - removing centella and making it more like a basic hyaluronic acid cleanser that's now vegan. It is somewhat drying for dry skin types but makes a great hand soap! I can't use it on my face in the fall/winter, but it's okay in the summer months.

[@rhileynnna]

@@jhvoorhies are you sure it was an entire year ago? I haven’t seen anything on it until recently. I didn’t mind it but I’m so upset they took the cica out.

[@dianeparks9475]

Alice, which Sephora brush do you use for your eye cream, please?

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Sadly it was discontinued 🥺 but if it helps, it’s called their “eye treatment” brush, and it’s similar to an eye primer brush (has a dip in the bristles to transfer product)

[@dianeparks9475]

@@AliceintheRabbitHole Thank you so much! I shall try to find!

It is tough for deer when they're washing their faces, but remember that they can use their own antlers in the skin care, so they save money since they can naturally source that.

Hi, alice, do you think the led mask is also reccomended for rosacea prone skin instead of acne one?

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I can’t attest to it personally, but I’ve heard it is. You might want to check out Penn Smith for more, as she’s an esthetician who talks about all kinds of treatments/devices! ☺️

I got my Stratia Interface and liquid gold order this morning and I used it right away and I was super suprised I put like a dot quarter pump or so ( morning ) of the LG in the moisturizer and my skin has felt super nice all day . I think I'm liking it I'll have to let you know after I have been using it longer. Have u tried the Anua heartleaf cleansing oil ? Just curious.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Yuuup, it starts with “this is nice!” And becomes “…where has this been my whole life” in time 😂 I have, yes! I have been meaning to include some more Anua products in a speed reviews (I’ve tried more than the toner though you’d never know it LOL)

[@jhvoorhies]

Word of warning on anua cleansing oil - that paired with the toner irritated my dry, sensitive, over-reactive skin. The toner feels mentholy on my skin and the toner is somewhat exfoliating so both were a huge no for me. Back to my purito cleansing oil and rovectin lotus toner.

[@heathersargent289]

@@jhvoorhies ok point taken that will be a no for me as well , dry sensitive and reactive skin as well. Thank you for letting me know. I like the Make prem safe me toner as a hydrating toner . I haven't tried the Rovectin lotus toner yet . Have your tried the Peach and Lilly ginger cleansing oil yet ? That was another one I was curious about it's onsale at Ulta for 15$ right now . I am a farmacy cleansing balm girl myself but wanted to try more cleansing oils and have one for in shower .

[@jhvoorhies]

@heathersargent289 the Peach &Lily cleansing oil is sooooo good although expensive at regular price. I've gone through 4 bottles at this point. The texture is like a gel/thick oil, and some people don't like that - but it's sooo nice. The rovectin lotus toner is very watery but my skin seems to really "calm down" when I use it. I've gone through 3 bottles of it. I've also recently added the Peach & Lily Wild Dew Essence and it's really made my skin brighter. Lately, I've been loving everything from P&L.

O I ment to tell u Nordstrom is having a beauty sale and the Perricone cold plasma is 40% off . I had to finish watching and I was about to say I look at my phone enough I should have plenty of blue light exposure 😆 then u said it like you were reading my mind . But maybe u don't need the Perricone CP If u love the PL CP that much , I know it's on the lower side of CO 0.2% . OBTW after u talked about the VT Reedle lots of people are now even Eunni made a short . Yes my Dr C smelled funny at the very end . I keep adding to my comment sorry .

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Yep!! I’m finally past cold plasma!! Do you want a spoiler? 👀 I don’t think it’s just the CP. P&L crammed their serum with soooo many good peptides. I can’t wait to talk about them all, it’s a ridiculous list haha!

@@AliceintheRabbitHole I can't wait for the review of it . Sounds amazing. I was bummed when I couldn't use their exfoliating serum 😔 my skin doesn't seem to love AHA ingredients. I'm trying to use the ordinary CP up sense I bought it during the slowvember sale last year opened it in January ( it still looks exactly the same ) but didn't love it with the stick and smell but I don't want to waste my money so I stopped using the Bioscionce CP( bottle is newer then ordinary one ) and started back with the ordinary and I think I'm slowly falling for it 😂 I'm still am not in love with the smell and stick but I think results are good.
