[@mglrz4970]

You are the ONLY beauty vlogger I've ever seen that has suggested to get a sample and try it out first, or consider a second opinion, instead of hitting that affiliate link. Lots of respect to you. New sub!

[@mellimel1174]

She is also honest with products sent to her. Some good, and a lot not so good. She will thank them for sending, but won't be phony about how she likes them.

[@MDCfineliving]

I have to say that for a guy that doesn't wear makeup I do find your page to be incredibly informative. I do try to take good care of my skin and have recently started trying better products as I age. I love that you have dry skin like me so I find your skin care routines and reviews are greatly appreciated. Love all your knowledge. Hope to see more reviews like this.

[@anygabby]

+Stephanie Nicole Hi Nicole, is Sunday Riley's Good Genes treatment ideal for a 24 yr old as well as the Luna oil? I mainly have very dehydrated skin and would like to prevent any damage on my skin such as wrinkles or potential acne as quick as I can. Thank you for this amazing informative video!

[@maddynavarro77]

Stephanie Nicole Hello Beautiful, I just purchased some 'Skin Rejuvenating Pads" by Dr. Jeannette Graf MD. she's on HSN and also has an office in NY. it says BHA on this product but I haven't been able to find where it reads the amount of BHA. I don't have the product yet, I ordered last week. but I've looked online and unable to find. I am 50 and just started 5 yrs ago taking better care of my skin. smh. Are you familiar with her hun? Thank you so VERY much for all you do for us. I have spread the word to my niece and daughters about you bc of you being so informative, your honesty, and blunt sense of humor. Lol. LOVE IT! Sincerely, Maddy

[@Jensaha94]

just got the sunday riley duo, which should i use first? the oil or the good genes? also should i use it every night or every other night? im 22 and oily skin

[@Jensaha94]

@stephanie nicole

[@farrah5298]

Jennifer Saha you should use the good genes first and then the oil. if you put the oil first then it won't let the good genes penetrate. I'm 22 as well with combo skin and I've been using good genes only when I need it. for example I'll use it everyday for a week if I'm getting break outs that week or if I'm trying to fade hyperpigmentation. sometimes I'll use it for a few weeks straight day and night if my skin really needs it.

[@iseenargles13]

So far I really like the Drunk Elephant serum and I've had it for about a month. But like you said, I'm pretty oily so that's probably why it works well for me.

[@purplewitch619]

Just found your channel and as soon as I heard you say 'even water is a chemical', I clicked subscribe. Thank you for helping to break this fear of chemicals that everyone seems to have!! As a chemist, it's one of the most annoying things I hear/see online, so thanks again! :)

[@Xitlali97777]

Sharana C. It's because a lot of ppl are really sensitive to many chemicals that are in products that are mostly unnecessary.

[@justmissjamey]

Joan Cassie..but some people are over the top with it these days it seems.

[@katrinaatkins6308]

Sharana do you know if good genes has toxic ingredients?

[@Allibubbles82]

I am SO glad I found your channel. The youtube beauty community has become a source of entertainment for me, and not so much a source for honest product reviews. Like many people, I do not give myself a huge budget for beauty, so when I spend 100$ or close to it on a product, I want it to be worth it. SO thank you! You are making all of us more informed consumers, in a space where there is seeming to be a lot of selling out going on!! Thanks again!

[@Codename_Dino]

Oh and I also wanted to say that you're the first Make Up / Skincare KZbinr I've chosen to subscribe to (the second was Wayne Goss after your brush video). I find you real, informative and honest. Thank you for being badass and yourself. You inspire me to enjoy and revel in my love of self care and make up (versus feeling judged for being "vain" and stupid for loving it). Thanks again Miss Stephanie!

[@awanisrosmadi5413]

I've always felt like back in my chemistry/biochemistry class all over again when i'm watching anything on your channel,only this is so much better because you are discussing skincare and makeup!!! Please don't stop doing whatever you are doing here

[@MsStephNic]

+angie1566 I cannot reply to your comment, it won't let me. Let it dry for 10 minutes, then I use the c15, then Juno, then lock it all in with the Belif/Fresh Seaberry mixture.

[@Jensaha94]

just got the sunday riley duo, which should i use first? the oil or the good genes? also should i use it every night or every other night? im 22 and oily skin

[@lolitabubbles26]

She commented that she uses the good genes first, wait 10 minutes, then use the oil.

[@kyliedunmire7280]

Wow, I’m so proud of your growth! I’ve been watching you for awhile & wanted to rewatch your skincare videos. 3+ years ago you said you didn’t even have 20k subscribers; you’re at over 515k now! Way to go! Thank you for putting so much time and effort into your content; it really shows.

[@mtkiaria]

You are so knowledgeable and direct, love your reviews! So many KZbinrs are just pushing products, yours are credible! Thank you !!

[@gatuquita1]

Thank you Stephanie I just started seriously taking care of my skin, I’m 39 years old. I start a little bit late but trying to reverse some sun damage and try to find the best anti-aging routine, your skincare videos are very helpful, thanks again 😘

[@Mrs.Mellie]

Thanks for the in depth info Stephanie.After using cheaper skincare for years I decided to upgrade and I’ll never go back.Your videos have helped me so much and made so much difference.🥰

[@alexandrarineer5666]

I truly feel you the most underrated KZbinr , when I came across your channel I was so surprised and happy to come across a woman whom A, is educated.. You do the homework, you're not bought out by these companies with crap products. B, you're established in your own career ( not living at your mothers and trying to get rich by lien to your viewers about products to make money.), you do this for to help woman with some back knowledge on products to help us make a decision on where to spend our money. I was just so presently surprised when I came across your channel and I haven't looked back! I don't have a lot of extra time I work a ton but when I have KZbin time I come to your channel even if to watch old videos! This is the first time I have ever "commented" on KZbin lol so idk if this will even go through, but In a nutshell you do great work and I am so grateful for your hard work and time and sacrificing your hard earned money to purchase products for the sake of review for

[@MsStephNic]

+Alexandra Rineer

[@britneyzachary8648]

As I am trying to become more knowledgeable about skincare I always find myself coming back to your videos. I really appreciate how much information you provide that other beauty bloggers don't, you can tell that you take the time to research before giving out information. If I could find the equivalent to you but with oily skin to recommend products that would be a dream! Thanks for all that you do :)

[@amandaperkins4342]

Stephanie Nicole, I came across your channel tonight, so far this is my 4th video I have watched. I just want to thank you for putting ingredients into play when you are making these videos. As an esthetician, it makes me absolutely cringe watching some KZbinrs talk about product they know nothing about and suggesting it for everyone. I absolutely admire that you are reaching out to educate and give your honest opinion. It takes so much time to research and understand ingredients and I respect you so much for this. Kudos to you! You have earned a forever subsciber!

[@lyndseymua6603]

Good genes is my HOLY GRAIL!! Can't live without it. Drunk elephant tho has the best moisturizer in my opinion and the vitamin c serum is amazing!

[@KMartha22]

I must say, Good Genes does all those things you mentioned to me. It is a true miracle product for me.

[@nedradonnpickens]

One of your videos showed up in my suggestion box. And now I'm hooked!! I'm seriously thinking about unsubscribing to all the "beauty gurus" I watch. I have learned more in 2 of your videos that I've watched (so far, I'm going to be up all night watching more) then the last year watching other people. I'm on my 3 or 4 bottle of Good Genes!! I want to bathe in this stuff. It's so good!! Lol.

[@randr4ever]

I bought the good genes (small flash fix size) based off of your recommendation as well as promising reviews. I am so grateful that I did! I struggle with problematic skin due to having discoid lupus. It has done a number on my already sensitive skin on my face. The sun has left me with scarring and spots and uneven skin texture regardless of how much I soak in SPF. The good genes is amazing! It literally smoothed my textured skin, not completely but dramatically in a couple of days. I will definitely be budgeting for the full size bottle along with the Luna night oil. I can not thank you enough for your channel, the time and information that you put into it has changed how I look at beauty products and skincare. Thank you a million times.

[@tbsfreak]

Sunday Riley recently had this special Christmas set which includes the Good Genes. I tried it and I was absolutely FLOORED by the results upon waking up. I kid you not when I say that all of the closed comedones on my face had gone down the following morning. My skin was so smooth, and I definitely had a “glow” about my skin. Fantastic product.

[@littlecutiepie143]

Out of all my KZbin subscriptions, you are my favorite because of how informative you are. I sort of wish you had oily-combo acne-prone skin like me so I could be entirely sure everything you recommend would work out perfectly for me hahaha

[@jessicajenkins1522]

Stephanie, you are so educated and informed about everything you talk about. I have so much respect for you (and I just started watching your channel). I wish I lived near you and could be your intern!!! Thanks for this review, I got samples of Good Genes put in my bag at Sephora and loved it.. then happened to come across this video weeks later and am saving up for it now. Hope you know how absolutely amazing your channel is.

[@mariap1087]

So happy I came across your channel. I love that you actually research products and furthermore encourage your viewers to do the same. Please keep these videos coming!!

[@faylynaddams7678]

I have sensitive skin, and it used to be super sensitive with an extremely damaged skin barrier. When it was really bad, Good Genes would tingle a bit, but then it would be fine and my skin looked so much better. Now that my lipid barrier is healed, it doesn’t tingle at all. It just makes my skin look incredible! It’s amazing and it’s more than worth the price.

[@briannairene185]

watching this over a year later and you mentioned you didnt even have a 100,000 subscribers--youve come so far this past year! its because we have such a strong need for the knowledge that you bring to the table as a beauty guru :)

[@cyan8181]

So glad you did this detailed, in depth comparison! I've had my gf on Sunday Riley for three months now and while she's good with the two oils, she just can't get over the smell of the Good Genes. She finished the bottle, but asked me not to repurchase. haha I'll give the Drunk Elephant a try next and see how that goes.

[@contina2]

I love your videos I watched them over over and over! My skin is 100 percent better. I tell my patients all time look you up when they ask or comment how good my skin looks.

[@hannah_bonfiglio]

The most informative review I have EVER seen on any product EVER! And I am always looking for product reviews....the details are so helpful! Awesome video!

[@NurseOnDuty117]

I just found your channel and am obsessed and binge watching ALL of your videos! You are so informative and I love your honest reviews!

[@pearlspet]

Thanks for such an honest review. So refreshing to have someone who speaks honestly and is not worried about possible sponsorship or negative comments. Keep up the good work 👍🏽 Nice to see a local girl on KZbin.

[@Theater00jock]

So happy to hear your opinion on this. Good Genes has made the biggest difference in my skin of any product I've ever used. 25 year old here. Almost 26. Started to get dullness in my skin that no amount of moisture/masking/toning was fixing. Originally tried physical exfoliants but found them far too irritating. Good Genes has really been revolutionary for my skincare routine. I actually prefer applying it during the day as I don't wear foundation on a daily basis and I like the slight pore filling I get from the silicone. I like to leave my evening routine for just soothing moisturizing products. The luna night oil is also lovely, but not quite as much of a revelation for me as Good Genes. There are a lot of facial oils that I enjoy.

[@jesscurrierstudio]

This was one of the most transparent, well researched, balanced reviews I've found on these products! So glad I came across your channel. Thank you!! 😊

[@GIJen-70]

Stephanie, I appreciate your videos and your willingness to share your vast knowledge in aesthetics. As an RN with several years experience in medical aesthetics I look for reviews that address the ingredients, their concentration and purpose. There are so many brands of skin care products ranging in price and efficacy.... this leads to confusion and for most an empty wallet as we try one product after another looking for that perfect serum, moisturizer, cleaner, toner..... your reviews help wade through the hype and get to the facts. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge, for being honest and for being REAL!

[@savannahsschiano6968]

Great job! I own both, and depending on what I'm more after at the moment definitely will feel a difference. Drunk elephant actually is great for acne prone skin. Sunday Riley I really see a plumping effect and my overall skin texture and look is almost renewed when used properly. I always to to be consistent with my skin care to see optimal results. Yet my skin can handle switching up every now and again. You hit it out of the ball park with your comparisons from creators to claims! Great to have you back 😘👏🏼👍🏼

[@lisaberan558]

this is EXACTLY the video i've been looking for!!! 🙋🏻 got a travel size drunk elephant and a sample of good genes and loved both! couldn't decide which to splurge on!! 👯

[@erinfromtexas1]

Just read your IG post. So I'm going to positive comment on all the videos of yours I have watched, and I will use your links for purchasing products during the VIB sale. I LOVE your content. It has helped me become a more informed consumer, and I have you to thank for my happy skin. Want you to know that people are grateful for what it is you do! : )

[@beguileme3743]

Beautiful and she's smart too! I predict your channel will blow up. You are above and beyond any so called "Beauty guru" who in reality, is just pushing products. You explain the science behind the products. On behalf of myself and other women, Thank you!

[@DayITL]

It's so interesting to see how other people's skin react to products. I have dry skin and I love the Drunk Elephant TLC. It's the product that's made the most difference in my skincare routine, it's like magic.

[@meaganlallen]

I'm so glad I found this video, I have recently purchased both of these but have been mainly using the Good Genes so far. Your video was so informative and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of detailed info and links you provided in the description bar. It's not often you find that, and I truly appreciate the time it must take to provide that amount of detail. Needless to say, I'm a new subscriber of yours and I look forward to looking through your videos to get more educated on skin care. Excellent video, I really enjoyed it.

[@alexandrarineer5666]

Us! I'm 26 years old I'm no spring chicken , so some of these channels with the craziness just aren't for me, you're mature , smart and independent and I'll support any woman like that! Thanks ! Sorry my comment was so long it was chopped into two. Sorry for the book just after all this time watching you I wanted to let you know you're much appreciated !

[@MsStephNic]

+Alexandra Rineer Your comment was awesome! Thank you so much for watching

[@rinf1116]

I came back here to rewatch this video before my trip.to Sephora tomorrow. Got to the part where you said "I don't even have 20,000 followers"...and right now you have 475k!!! So awesome how much you've grown! P.s. can't wait for your affordable skincare video.

[@Lanie636]

Great point about multiple sources! I love both Caroline and Paula as well -- you just have to do the research and do what's right for your skin. So glad I found your channel!

[@ashlyb.3503]

I love you so much Stephanie Nicole! I got a sample for an order I purchased from Sephora and the drunk elephant seemed to really do wonders for my skin! I am extremely oily! Thanks so much for your honesty!

[@PrettyPoodleChosen1]

I am a new subbie and I have to say that you are the most educated beauty vlogger I have had the pleasure of seeing on KZbin. Keep it up you are setting a wonderful example.

[@eerye70]

The new packaging for the drunk elephant is sooo adorable now, you have to turn it and its awesome. But then you said the sephora thing. LOL. i use it daily and i don't have the problems you had. But i just bought the Obagi list and i wonder how it is going to work on me! Love you Stephanie

[@karaxo21]

I honestly can't stand how you are so pretty and so darn smart! lol not just good reviews but you are schooling me on all the science/ chemistry stuff I love it

[@heyyyitskat]

Another video that was so helpful for me! I just discovered your channel today and I'm so glad that I did! I love that you know the science behind ingredients and help us understand what's really going on. I love learning about things like this because I don't have a background in makeup and skincare sciences. I love that you encourage people to read, find information, and make judgements for themselves in your videos. I also really appreciate your down to earth personality and your honesty with each review. I know that I'm getting great content, learning more, and have your complete and total honesty. In a world where sometimes that can be a rarity, you my dear are a breath of fresh air! Over the coming weeks, I'll definitely be delving more into your channel and watching more videos. Thank you for all the effort that you put into your content. It is both noticed and greatly appreciated. -Kat

[@flyers4life773]

Thank you so much for your honesty and info. I really respect your opinion. I'm so happy I found your channel. I'm learning so much. For someone in their 40's it's nice to see someone with your knowledge and honesty on KZbin.

[@jasonarnold3121]

Thanks so much Nicole for another insightful video on skincare. You are seriously helping people with their skin issues like me and all my clients. Peace and blessings.

[@andidax3468]

Your dedication to research and quality information shows in every video. I was anxiously waiting for this one (love the thumbnail!). You give enough information so that your viewers know not only your opinion and what works on you but also how to make the best choice for their own skin. Your videos offer so much more value than those of the "hey, company A sent these to me for free so you should totally go buy them!" type.

[@laurenj6974]

I'm so glad someone out there is being real about the hype of "natural" products. Also about the scent thing - a lot of things that are "unscented' have added fragrance- masking ingredients... True but not often talked about!

[@karlawhite9285]

I have to say after watching your skin care and this video I'm interested in these products. I'm getting close to 30, with dry acne prone skin. North east Ohio winter makes my face feel dry/dehydrated. I just alway worry about the "purging stage". Like I need more break outs. I've been loving your videos the most because you actually talk ingredients, performance, and results. You clearly know what your talking about. Thank you!!! 🙂🙂🙂

[@djnorth225]

LOVE this video. Normally I'd be annoyed about how long this is but you are so knowledgeable I didn't mind at all. I'm a research person too, so I'm glad that i ran across this. Thank you!

[@carlacookingvegan]

I tried both. I used the sample of the Good Genes for 5 days and I’m AMAZED. The Drunk Elephant irritated my skin and I thought it would work for me cause I have oily skin, but I was wrong. Certain products work for certain people ☺️

[@anaelisa2027]

Your reviews are so thorough and well thought out and organized. You blow my mind with your wealth of knowledge. Thank you.

[@mjc2879]

I'm so glad I found your channel. I've loved Paula's choice for years, but I've noticed the bias as well. I really like Caroline Hirons as well but I'm always a little wary. You help me cut through the BS. Thanks--keep the awesome reviews coming! I really like the videos where you compare like products from different brands.

[@jamesja85jj]

You are right, the drunk elephant one works wonders on oily skin! I absolutely love it and I hate that I only found it a month ago! May try the Sunday Riley too so thanks for the review!

[@angiewalton1]

Omg! So glad too find your channel! Someone who explains reason for liking a product and the science behind it not just I ❤️ this and. this😍just like because! Thanks for all your thoughts and time!

[@MsStephNic]

+angiewalton1 Thanks for watching & your nice comment, I appreciate it :)

[@amywithay]

I love your videos and truly trust your advise and knowledge on skin care. I wondered what products you might recommend for combo skin to help with fine lines and wrinkles and reduce pore size. I am 40 and finally have really realized my skin care is important. I use the Drunk Elephant night serum and an oil but I feel like there is more I could be doing. thanks for all your information you give!

[@rtoupe]

I have to say that this is an amazing review. I love the fact that you are open and honest about the fact that everyone's skin is different as opposed to saying that one product is the be all, end all. Thank you so much.

[@sciencetypegirl9849]

This was a most helpful video, Stephanie, thank you! I have been applying my framboos each night, with no stinging - because I haven't been shaking the bottle before application!! And the balling up - that had been happening too, with the application of the oil afterwards. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

[@Momma_bear_of_2_beauties]

I use both of these products! I love drunk elephant everything! The Sunday Riley I am loving as well, I just started using it. I get a little itchy on my face after applying good genes but it goes away once I apply a moisturizer. Great review!! Thank you!!

[@Minnow37]

I love your skincare videos so much have been binge watching them ever since I discovered them! Thanks for clearly explaining the science behind stuff, and I love how you are very transparent as well about your affiliates etc, that's always very appreciated :)

[@crl62089]

I just wanted to say that as an organic chemist, I really appreciate your strong understanding that everything is a chemical whether it's natural or not. It drives me crazy when people think "natural" means healthy. It all depends on the structure of the chemical or mixture of chemicals itself not where it comes from.

[@jackaroolane]

You have quickly become my favorite beauty vlogger. Your videos are well thought out and very informative. Thank you for taking the time to make them.

[@marynall7280]

I love to go back and re-watch your reviews. Great information and you cover all sides of the topic. Great review.

[@kayceh6198]

Such an awesome video. I’ve been trying out both of these products over the last 6 weeks trying to decide which one I prefer.

[@wildeliseortiz4734]

I really like the DE framboise serum but just like you said I have extremely oily skin so it really works for me but I'm going to buy the new SR oil for acne prone skin it looks like a good one!

[@virginiav.1172]

Brilliant review. It's the kind of data I need to help me decide which one I want to buy based on my skin concerns. I wish KZbin had more of this instead of pushing products on us. Your advice is so appreciated.

[@shannonmc2011]

Ahh this was exactly the video I needed I have been debating which one of these 2 products to bite the bullet and purchase. I've already loved my sample of good genes, thanks for always providing evidence based & non-biased reviews!!

[@dee7019]

I love your channel because your reviews are full of info we don't always get. The science is explained clearly so that even I can comprehend it. :)

[@hilaryowen1160]

Congratulations on having hundreds of thousands of subscribers now!!! You've grown your channel SO fast!! You are awesome!!!

[@skywonderly1768]

I bought the good genes and c serum drunk elephant and extremely loving both. Thank u so much for all the reviews

[@skywonderly1768]

[@JessDStM]

I have missed your videos while you were gone so I caught up on some more older ones! Two in one day is a treat thank you! I have been excited for this one especially since I just started taking better care of my skin. I am so curious about skin care products now, and everything I have bought based on your recommendations have been working wonders for me.

[@MsStephNic]

+JessDStMxo Yay! So happy to hear that Jess!

[@JessDStM]

+Stephanie Nicole I had wanted to try Sunday Riley products for awhile, but they are pricey and I wasn't sure if it would help my specific needs. After watching your skin care videos I got them, and also quite a few of the other products you use. I'm now much more focused on my skin care, instead of just covering it up(which never looked good). It's only been a few weeks, but my skin is loving it. I can't even remember when my skin felt or looked this good. I've struggled with it for so long, but everything is so much better already. Even my adult acne is clearing up. I can't thank you enough for doing these videos!

Drunk elephant T.L.C is my holy grail! I have been using it for a little over a year and it has helped my skin so much. I have dry acne prone skin. I have been using it with origins night a mins and so far so good! Will definitely try a sample of the good genes! Thank you for your awesome reviews!

[@candybhramayana3542]

Rose Duran oh my god! I just started pairing the Drunk Elephant TLC with my Origins Night a mins too! How is it working for you?

[@miaowmix5520]

did u try the glycolic serum?

[@krisb9772]

I agree with everything you said. I love the Good Genes product. I don't mind the smell at all. I don't like perfume smells in skincare. I have noticed a huge difference with this product, and it makes my makeup go on so smoothly! I read Paula's Choice reviews too, and the customer reviews were extremely positive.

[@Danielavarcasia]

I just truly enjoy watching your videos. Your awesome personality and how much information you present me with is what has got me hooked on your channel! I can't wait for more of your videos!

[@MsStephNic]

+Daniela Varcasia Thank you so much!

[@blizzerdbiworrior]

I'm an oily-skinned person in my 20's, and I love AHAs and BHAs for my routine. I use them to treat acne, reduce pore size, and to exfoliate my skin. I love your thorough review on these two products, and do have to say that the Elephant one appeals more to me due to the inclusion of the BHA, so I can get double duty out of my chemical exfoliator. I currently use the Paula's Choice Resist AHA/BHA, and I don't get any sort of burning sensation from that one.

[@heyyyitskat]

+blizzerdbiworrior Oh man, I really needed this review! I too am oily skinned in my 20's, so that's right up my alley!

[@Dorothy_A]

I was looking for reviews on drunk elephant glycolic serum and your video came and this is definitely one of the most detailed reviews so far and now after watching this I'm also considering the Sunday Riley product which was never on my mind, thank you for the comprehensive and detailed review, this was very helpful.

[@TinkerDean]

Yes I have used Sunday Riley's Good Genes and loved it. Makes skin look smoother and brighter and younger. Great product! Your videos are so informative! Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos. You really know your shit!

[@MsStephNic]

+TinkerDean Thanks Tinker :)

[@Supportnotstigmaa]

Thanks for the amount of detail you give in regards to the chemicals and what they're for. i love how you explain things and give sources for the viewers to further look into the products. you've helped me look for the right products for my skin type! i love your videos!!! xoxo

[@JustAnotherNo1]

I love and swear by the good genes!! It's never irritated my skin of caused discomfort. I use it every day even under my eyes. Never an issue. With out it my skin isn't the same!! I'm normal to dry also. I notice my skin isn't at its best when I run out of it. I always re purchase this!! It's a game changer for my skin.

[@meljini]

As an aspiring chem student i enjoy watching your vids w in depth explanations. I want to get int cosmetic chemistry

[@mimiijir7927]

So glad you brought up skin type!! I am normal to dry and OBSESSED with TLC serum

[@jomel6838]

Stephanie YOU are my holy grail you tuber! I learn so much from you. I am old enough to be your mother, but I want to be just like you when I grow up:)

[@hideandseek72]

I love both the good genes and the luna oil... I have premature aging and dry skin and this combo has been amazing for my skin

[@elizasmith4545]

I am dry and sensitive, but when I used Sunday Riley both good genes and Luna oil every night for 3 days. I broke out so bad that I had to strip down my skincare. But with the drunk elephant it works great. But I love Sunday Riley's C.E.O oil cleanser is amazing. Oh and you were so accurate, good genes, felt like I wanted to rip my skin off. Glad I found your channel.

[@bbc2828]

Thank you for being so knowledgeable and giving good recommendations. I went yesterday to Sephora and picked up some samples of Good Genes, Luna, Agenist, and Drunk Elephant.

[@glarntt]

Just discovered your channel and love the fact that you site sources and encourage people to use what's good for their skin. =) I just started using Good Genes and I've never had my skin look so uniformly pump, bright, and even.

[@jackiebaucom9513]

I am definitely curious about Drunk Elephant product because I have acne prone skin. I think it could be a great product for me personally. I appreciate your review. ❤️

[@DanielleLaBarbera]

I have TERRIBLE breakouts and the drunk elephant has been a lifesaver for me. I keep going back to it!

[@jessicavaillancourt7868]

Just started following you and ironically I grew up in Douglas MA and went to school with your sister! Small world! Love your channel!

[@Stiiggy]

This was SO helpful. I just recently started being heavy into skin care info because, while I have been blessed with some pretty good skin not prone to breakouts and not yet damaged, it won't stay like that forever. I discovered Paula's Choice a little less than a year ago and binged on her reviews and info, but I had wanted at least one other highly knowledgable skin care guru with whom to compare. I did not know about Caroline Hirons until just now, so I will be reading up on her and what she has to say. I'm sooo glad you made this video, you clearly have done your research and I feel I can use your reviews and opinion as another valid source of information so that I can make an informed decision. Keep up the good work!

[@rjccedeno]

Loved your review. You really did the research and it's hard to find someone so sincere.

[@amandagzzo6818]

good genes has changed my life! in conjunction with the luna oil and tidal moisturizer!

[@AmyGodBlessAmerica]

Love your reviews. SR Luna Oil and Good Genes are the bomb. Love her and her products. I have very mild rosacea and I can use both of these.

[@curlgirl4265]

Love your honest review and all the information you provide. You really do your homework :) I have over-used the Paula's Choice website and I have found that the products recommended have not always worked for me. That has been disappointing, but I realize not everything will work for everyone. So, I was so glad that you provided another resource I didn't know anything about with Caroline Hiron's site. So, thank you for such a great video! I will definitely be checking out more of your videos. Great job!

[@scarlettelisabeth5644]

Love good genes, I got a sample with my points, and have noticed such a difference in my skin. I'm only 19 but this helped clear up my acne and brighten my skin. I'll probably buy the drunk elephant next because they have a small size that's not as expensive.

[@laineybugger]

I appreciate how much effort and information you put into your videos. I'm now a subscriber. I have rosacea and added fragrance especially citrus oils etc irritate my skin. I just purchased the Drug Elephant day kit and night kit so I was able to try 4 products for just over $50. I'm going to give it a try. I know Sephora has a set with the Luna Oil and Good Genes. I will try that if the DE doesn't work for me.

[@MakeupRetreat]

Excellent commentary! I have literally just been floored by Drunk Elephant's products. I've seen amazing changes to my skin, but I really loved all your detailed information on the Sunday Riley products. Your reviews, explanations and suggestions are clearly and responsibly expressed.--Marinelly
