How to READ Skincare LABELS ? What's Really Inside Your Skincare (Part 1)

[@LiahYoo]

OMG all the research and the graphics for this video... I can only imagine how many hours you guys spent on the video! Well done

[@femfem237]

When brands say 100% argan oil they mean that the argan oil used is 100% pure. Not that the product is only argan oil

[@AudreyNataliaKosmar]

Please do this kind of video for drugstore skincare! 😀

Will definitely do more drugstore related videos for you guys in the future! Thanks for the idea! 😘- Fel x

[@michellefung18apr83]

Sometime when shopping for skincare it's not about the brands but it is all about the ingredients lists that matches the skin types as some drug stores brands works amazing too.

[@EmeliaSings]

THANK YOUU! I have been wanting videos like these, trying to research myself, but I get so overwhelmed! This is a great start :')

[@BeautyWithin]

Thanks so much, glad to hear you enjoyed the video! I think people are only now starting to really care about what's really inside their products, so this was our first video getting into it and seeing if you guys are interested in it! Thanks for commenting! 😘

Paula's Choice is extremely biased. Since she has her own skincare line, any ingredients she uses she marks as "good" or "best" regardless of how safe they actually are.

[@sequenceacquisition6217]

Deana B That's because they are. Parabens are NOT bad. Stop spreading misinformation.

[@nairabee245]

Sequence Acquisition how are they not bad when they are linked to cancer. And yes Ik the link is very week and all but still, some people don’t want to take the risk.

[@sequenceacquisition6217]

Naira Bee There's literally no conclusive evidence that show that parabens cause cancer. They're only bad if you're allergic to them.

[@mangosaidno]

Parabans are not harmful people who say it’s harmful is because the beauty industry portrays it like that, because the more “organic” or less “bad” ingredients the more popular the brand becomes. parabans are only bad if you consume it.. wow big surprise don’t consume your skincare. There’s only circumstantial evidence not concrete. Please do in depth research, reading articles is not research

[@mvzan672]

@@nairabee245 you do realise that there are other hundreds of ways to get cancer that arent from parabens? You would have a higher chance of getting cancer from the food you eat.

[@mariestopa]

I read all ingredients!!! Thanks to elle Leary. Its so important!

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

Wonderful information. I go to Paulas Choice website too to check out ingredients. It really comes in handy. I haven't heard of the AHHA B brand. I'm very intrigued by the ingredients. Definitely going to check this out. Thanks so much for this video, looking forward to more like this!

[@jiayilao]

This is very helpful! Btw, Flicia's makeup and outfit look fresh and cute! Love them:)

[@JaimeTravels]

Loved the video, but one thing to add. In the Josie Maran product I think the Argan Kernel Oil meant the oil from the Argan seed, not 2 separate ingredients. I have been educating myself on ingredient lists and they usually separate individual ingredients by commas. In this case they use "(and)" as a form of separating ingredients. Thanks!

[@shireenniloofar9027]

Hey! Would love if you make a video for people with eczema, cuz our skin are mostly dry on the areas with the eczema (my face is super dry 70% of the time places like around my lips under my eyes and above my eyebrows) but the rest of my face is normal. These are on days I get a flare up and it takes a long time to heal. So I’d love to find a reasonably priced skin care routine for sensitive dry skin 💙

[@MummyBrown]

I second this!

[@BeautyWithin]

Thank YOU for watching! I think skincare ingredients is somethings that's only lately started getting on people's radar. But it's so important to be aware of what we're actually buying and putting on our face, and seeing if it's doing what it claims to do/ Thanks for the comment girl! 😘

[@MummyBrown]

@@BeautyWithin I second this! I'm LOVING that more people are getting serious about what they allow beauty companies to get away with in terms of shady ingredients. It's refreshing to see this kind of info out there and more people asking for transparency on labels. I respect that people are so hard-core about being animal cruelty conscious but if even half of those people cared as deeply about uneccessary and unhealthy beauty practices/ ethics violations as a whole, this could save many from potential harm. For many, questionable ingredients are a minor inconvenience, but for many, it's much worse. Thank you guys for educating people about what to look for 👏🏽

All information help me out for treating my acne myself.. Love u

[@laurelhaight]

Did you contact AHHA B to ask if what is on their website is the full ingredient list? Some brands don't list full (or any) ingredient lists, Clinique for example, so you need to search online or contact their customer service for more information. I'm skeptical what is listed is the full ingredient list for that cleanser. Also, using the term "active ingredients" implies that there are inactive ingredients. Almost all skincare products have other ingredients that act as cleansing agents and texture enhancers. What is the cleansing agent in the cleanser? What ingredient is giving the cleanser the gel like texture?

[@valyushacioban898]

I’ve struggling to find good products, but thanks to you girls in having more faith to finding good products. Also, could you do a video that speaks more about ingredients to avoid? I heard silicone and anything that starts with PEG is really bad and cancer-ous if that makes sense. Is it true?

Use zenziscope.com instead of paula’s choice, the comments on ingredients here are clearly non-objective, as it does not point out the danger for your health or the planet of ingredients like silicones or glycerin etc. External sources allow you to take a step back from marketing 😊 But thanks for the video !

[@ultramarinewaters9325]

It’s so lovely that people are taking interest in the ingredient lists of their products. Once we become aware of what we put on and in our bodies, corporations will take note! Just a note: for the Josie Maran product, the argan spinosa kernel oil is one ingredient.

[@BeautyWithin]

It's true, I think looking into skincare ingredients is somethings that people only recently started getting into - which is great!. Like you said, it's so important to be aware of what we're actually buying and putting on our face, and seeing if it's doing what it claims to do, and not blindly buying into trends and marketing of it all. Thanks for the comment girl! 😘

[@stargazer5585]

I love you guys and your videos are so extremely helpful BUT PLEASE note that an “active ingredients” list is NOT the same thing as a full “ingredients” list. Many brands only want to put their active ingredients out there and keep their full ingredients list difficult to find, but in the U.S. the full ingredients are typically listed on the bottle or at least on the box it came in. You can’t make a product without some inactive ingredients, you need things that are carriers, or impact texture, or preservatives (natural or otherwise), etc. It is VERY misleading for companies to only publicize their active ingredients list and consumers need to recognize they’re not seeing everything.

[@LiverpGirl]

Why you don't break all the ingredients list of AHHA B product? it only mention active ingredients, not all of the ingredients and it's quite misleading for someone who didn't know anything about ingredients list

[@BeautyWithin]

Totally understand you! We didn't break this one down because majority were plant extracts, but you can utilize sources Think Dirty or Paula's Choice like we did and check on any of your own product ingredients that you're currently using! 🤗

[@micaelanisbet5402]

You've misunderstood. When brands list 'active ingredients' it is a highlight of the best ingredients in a formulation. It's not the same as an ingredient list. I actually couldn't find the full ingredients list of this product online which is highly suspicious. It will 100% be filled with emulsifiers, emollients and texture/stability additives and preservatives. You can't make that product from the few extracts mentioned. They would be about 5% of total product.

[@LiverpGirl]

i don't miss understood,i get it from the first time i watch the video but it could be misleading for someone who din't know anything about ingredients list..i speak for the sake of people who still new and learn about the ingredients list

[@micaelanisbet5402]

Satvika Ganitri sorry my reply was directed at the makers of the video not you. My reply supports your view!

[@kilala3333]

I think that's this lines point, it only actives... so there is no preservatives.. Etc ... the down side is that you need to use it quickly ....right?

[@biamartinsedit]

I love my skincare with essencial oils as tea tree, lavanda, peppermint and etc, but I get some people might be sensible to it. My skin hates roseship/rose and it's a highly recommend ingredient, so... It's tricky to the right skincare.

[@91msag]

Maria Beatriz Martins hi! I hope you don't mind me asking, but since I just found out that essential oils could irritate sensitive skin, would you consider rose water to have the same effect? I've used rose water on and off all my life as a toner, but recently my skin has started breaking out, and I'm wondering if it's because my skin tolerance for it has decreased...?

[@biamartinsedit]

meenosagittarius91 I have oily acne prone skin and rises never worked for me. If your breakouts have nothing to do with the toner, maybe you could change to one with cucumber/tea tree/argan etc because these ingredients are better when dealing with acne. But it's hard to say why are you breaking out. I think you could change your toner and see what happens. I hope you figure this out 😄

[@biamartinsedit]

Roses* not rises 😂

[@BeautyWithin]

It's true - one ingredient might claim to work wonder and actually be the best thing for one person, but for another person it could be a nightmare. So it's all about patience and finding and trying ingredients that really work for you and understanding your skin! Glad you found a bunch that works for you, I love tee tree as well, especially for spot treating! 😘- Fel x

[@miachiou1961]

You never mentioned all the problems dimethicone can cause though and why some of us should avoid it! I'm skeptical about the integrity of the rest of this video.....

[@miachiou1961]

Barbara Cabezas Silicone can build up on your skin and hair, and clog pores and make your hair not able to absorb anything. Also, it can trap dirt on your skin if you've not washed your face before. Silicone can only smooth the skin temporarily and maybe help people with dry skin as far as I know

[@barbaracabezas6740]

Mia Chiou yes! some people say they are harmless because the skin doesn’t absorb them, the molecules of silicones are too big for the skin to absorb so it creates like a skin barrier, but actually while silicone is on your skin it can stop your skin natural regenation process, the barrier is so strong that it would not even let moisture get in. I mean, there are good reasons to avoid silicone, and she rely on a page of someone that has an skincare brand and of course she is not going to make some ingredients look harmful or bad if she uses them on her products, even though they are. This whole video can be informative and also very misleading to some people. She should have done more research and that’s for sure

[@parallelpinkparakeet]

Try skincarisma.com. They do sell stuff but not from any one brand, so there's less of a chance they'd be biased. It doesn't go into as much detail as Paula's Choice though.

[@jacopo4940]

Mia Chiou dimethicone and cosmetic silicones are a very useful and inert ingredients. Don’t worry.
