I TRIED CAROLINE HIRONS SKIN ROCKS - SO YOU DON'T HAVE TOO!

[@GoodWashDay]

I've just spent a couple of hours watching your videos, including the one about your business challenges. Your integrity and approach is so refreshing in this day and age and is borne out in the comments section. As a (much smaller!) self-funded business I just wanted to say that I could relate to so much of what you said about cash flow, economies of scale etc and I really appreciate your transparency. As far as I'm concerned I wouldn't want to run a business if it didn't have strong ethics at its core. Carla - Founder, Good Wash Day

[@carinapowney7512]

Your skin is amazing Wayne and you are relatable, unlike Caroline Hirons for me anyway. Also who can realistically afford these as it’s not a one of you have to keep buying them

[@MM-li8nk]

I always add a pump of either organic rosehip or castor oil to my night moisturiser, usually over my retinol. Perfect!

[@zosemabubble7825]

I don’t care how good the products are, I can't abide Caroline Hirons. I used to follow her some years ago and was a regular reader of her blog/website articles, but the way she spoke to anyone who dared disagree with her opinions was shocking. She was really aggressive and rude. There's no way I would support her business when she has that attitude.

[@alexalia2737]

Yeah, years ago she responded to a comment I made disagreeing with something I said and the vitriol that she threw was just awful! I have unfollowed her since.

[@nat2040]

I wonder if she still worships Oprah?

[@pattsyliloo1429]

Thx I liked having your input on these products ❤

[@nikkimonk1753]

I find Caroline so abrasive that I just can’t watch her. Whilst I like direct no bs kind of people I just can’t warm to her. Which in turn unfortunately has put me off her products.

[@CarolineHirons]

Ah Wayne! 🥹 Thank you so much for the kind words. I’m so genuinely thrilled that you love the products, and your favourites are also our bestsellers, well chosen. Thank you again. 🙏 🥰❤️

[@Truth1561]

I stopped watch Hirons ages ago, recommending too many wildly expensive products just made me feel inadequate. I got fed up of hearing her saying you should spend as much on your skincare as a designer handbag🙄 I’ve found a routine that suits my skin and costs me very little. I’m over 10 years older than her and I can honestly say my skin is better than hers so I’m not going to buy her products. I don’t understand the need for yet another skincare range, there’s nothing new here. The ordinary just brought out 0.2% retinal- now that I’m interested in.

[@ZannaDu]

Your skin looks stunning!!

[@BecSparky]

I've been off beauty youtube for a while, but coming back to your channel, after not seeing you for a while, I have to say that your skin is looking phenomenal.

[@coconutisland3634]

Mildly copying someone else’s comment but it’s valid…. The ego of Caroline Hirons has killed it for me. Price point of these potions is greedy. I was there from the beginning of her KZbin debut… watched her on Sali Hughes in the bathroom series and loved her no nonsense down to earth approach… it’s all changed now. Fame and money have hit and greed sets in and entitlement. You know who has never sold themself out, never posted a PR event, never tried to make money out of people, spent literally years taking time and heaps of money crafting beautiful brushes, never begged us to buy things, remained humble, authentic and insanely beautiful throughout the years????? ❤❤❤YOU❤❤❤ That’s who. This is the reason I will follow you forever, support your channel and ALWAYS adore you 🥹. You are incredible and I have been with you since the beginning and will be here until infinity and beyond ❤ x I love you Wayne xxx Thank you for everything you do for us xxx PS your skin is insanity 😍

[@LA-cw6rc]

It sounds like you know her personally, which I don’t think you do. I have worked with her several times, twice recently and she is the loveliest kindest person I know. So is nothing like what you describing

If I had to bet I would say that Caroline is a Leo, they greed and their ego are always recognized. I don't know when their date of birth is, but it never fails. As they say here in Spain, most of them are double-sided coins.

Great review thanks Wayne, I really like CH, she is no nonsense and forthright but she is undoubtedly one of the most knowledgeable people in the industry. She was also kind enough to send me a lovely skincare package after I was badly assaulted at Christmas (by a stranger), she noticed my comment to another follower on her Facebook group and reached out to me, so she undoubtedly is genuinely a caring and kind person. x

[@LA-cw6rc]

She really is !!!

[@sarahbee27]

I read Caroline’s blog for years, watched her videos, bought her book and recommendations and then disagreed with something she said a few years ago. Wrote her a polite private message and she just blocked me. Think she’s too deep in the corporate world now and probably has a ton of yes people around her. I don’t idealise anyone now as it hurts when you look up to people like that, give them your money even though they are clearly more wealthy than you for them to treat you like that.

[@elizabethgregoire9079]

Caroline has shown time and time again that she cannot take criticism. Also, her products are crazy expensive for what they are.

[@aliveinheels4540]

She’s a bully

[@MsGroovearmada]

Thanks for this review. I’m curious enough to try some of these. Your skin is glorious.

[@MSUSPARTANS1973]

Caroline has always said the real magic of a skincare routine are what comes between the cleanser and moisturizer. She also said there was no need to spend a lot on these two products. unless you want to, as they’re the bookends of any routine, and really not important. So I’m perplexed as to why she’d launch a moisturizer at such an exorbitant price. I trust in her research and product development, but the prices of all these products are out of control.

[@awalker127]

Amen! Spot on

[@sarastewart2633]

She appears to contradict quite a lot of what she used to say, and you can't put it down to new evidence because it is not things that here is new evidence to support. While I used to find her trustworthy I think what she says now is too influenced by her own financial interests.

[@zach8346]

I always took her advice to mean don't go broke trying to buy expensive moisturizer or cleansers however if you can afford them there are some really lovely ones. I really don't fault her for the price of her line as I have heard nothing but great things. I believe Wayne can also attest that when you self fund a business as she did that your prices are going to be higher as your cost per SKU will be more since you aren't buying as much stock during each production round. Just my two cents.

[@Truth1561]

Brands like the ordinary ( and even Beauty pie although it is a bit dearer) are proof positive that there’s no need to spend a lot of money on skincare. I also think the packaging of this range is awful. If I wanted to invest I would probably buy Korean skincare. That’s what my daughter uses and her skin at 34 is just beautiful, despite the fact she has a stressful like with MS.

[@wjs5773]

She has been very clear that if you can’t afford a skin care product you shouldn’t buy it. That surely is down to an individual in the same way as you decide if you can afford ( say) organic British asparagus or the regular stuff from Peru or a million other price decisions we all make every day.

[@loriengelmann9240]

Omg, Caroline and her buddy at the time Stephanie Nicole also made me destroy my skin barrier with acids some years ago! From then on I’ve kept a very simple and inexpensive routine and use the First Aid Beauty gentle acid pads once a week.

Trying to finish up some skincare before I try out Hirons. Thanks for the review. The oil sounds delicious. People can say what they want BUT Hirons knows her skincare, period. And she cracks my shit up. Thanks for the video.

[@alidemsja]

She truly does not though , she is not a dermatologist, she is not a formulator, she is not a pharmacist, she has no actual qualifications that can qualify her as she knows skincare!! She is a glorified sale’s woman she that has worked in department stores and with skincare brands promoting products and once upon a time she was an aesthetician (and not a good one at that) she has a very aggressive approach and loves to toot her own horn but in reality she is as much qualified to discuss skincare as your normal person. Its sooo sad that people turn to Caroline for skincare advice and not an actual doctor that has studied skin and skincare for years! Its baffling how she has a cult of followers.

[@Nursegirl7677]

@@alidemsja I have had great results with the products I have tried after watching her videos. I’m sorry that is not the case for you. I also do not find Hirons aggressive or narcissistic. Thank you for the comment. I am glad we can all have our own opinions because wouldn’t we be bored if we all thought the same. Have a great rest of your week.

[@amyr4944]

@@alidemsjathe thing I don’t understand with your comment is….while she may not be a dr. She certainly has studied and tested skincare for years. That alone gives a person knowledge. But also, she has scientists, formulators, actual chemists on her team. So the things that she may not be strong in, they are there to fill those areas. She knows what works and it seems like her products work for so many people. If you don’t like her personality that’s one thing.

[@alidemsja]

@@amyr4944 what has she actually studied relating to skincare? I can tell you she has no qualifications whatsoever. She is a very good saleswoman and thats it. As far as formulators and pharmacists, thats all good but any decent dermatologist will tell you that what works in e petri dish means nothing in real life it may show great results there but that doesn’t translate to humans. Let me put it you in a way that may explain it better, if you need a tooth filling would you go to a dentist or would you go to boots? Its the same with skincare, if you have actual skin concerns, your first point should be someone who is a dermatologist and not Caroline because nothing made to be sold without a prescription will make any actual impact to actual skin related issues which are; acne, pigmentation, rosacea, melasma, perioral dermatitis, eczema and so on. If you have any of those you will not find the solution in anything sold by la mer, Caroline, drunk elephant or whatever other brand. If you think all your skin needs is something to moisturise it and make it feel more supple then yea sure anything will work for that its all about how much you want to spend. With skin it is the same, why would The truth is no one needs skincare unless you have an actual skin issue, for which only a dermatologist is qualified to help. Everything else is just for money making. Vaseline will moisturise better than any moisturising cream serum out there but it doesn’t come in a fancy pot or smell nice it is not advertised by influencers.

[@alidemsja]

@@Nursegirl7677 you say you have had great results, really? Has your pigmentation gone? Have your wrinkles gone? I think you may have no actual skin related issues, i am so pleased for you but these kind of formulations can have no impact in curing or maintaining ACTUAL skin diseases. anything sold without a prescription or that has not been administered by a qualified doctor will have no impact on actual skin related diseases. You can be sure that when Wayne Goss has issues with redness , acne, wrinkles, he turns to actual doctors for prescription based professional formulations, lasers and injectables and those are the true merit to his current skin condition, it is not the creams used by brands of Caroline and so on. My point was that we are inundated with products we don’t need and for those that need help they should save their money and see a dermatologist because they will not find a solution with such products that are only created for individual wealth gains. In the end you are only helping make Caroline wealthier and not helping yourself. I too wish you a great day and wish you all the best!
