Vintner's Daughter Active Botanical Serum Review

[@MsStephNic]

I missed editing out 2 spots I was tripping over my words. Don't mind that :) If you are coming to San Francisco for GenBeauty & you would like to hang out, I will not be attending, but have set up a meet up close by. Details on my Instagram bit.ly/2fbubnm & Facebook. GenBeauty is on Pier 27, which is the cruise building. If you go outside & head north west, 12 minute walk to the tourist trap of San Francisco 😊 Saturday Nov. 5th 1pm Meeting at Hard Rock Cafe. If it isn’t too busy, @rip.ly & I will be inside partaking in a cocktail perhaps, or we will be out front. Its hard to say how busy the area will be & it could just be Riply & I, or us plus 20 people. I figure we can meet there, & go from there. I would like to hit up the Sephora on Powell street & shop as well. I know GenBeauty runs from 11am-5pm, but if you would like to sneak away for a bit, or just come hang out, we will be there. At 2pm we will move from there to wherever the wind takes us. I will post updates as to where we are on Instagram once we get moving if you would like to meet up later. Recap: 1pm-2pm Saturday November 5th at Hard Rock Cafe Pier 39, Beach St #256, San Francisco, CA 94133 ✌🏻️❤️😘

[@Heyfa]

Stephanie Nicole would you be willing to come see the people who love you in the DMV? 🙈

[@Utubeacct]

Haifa lol

[@BellaRossa04]

Gaaaahhh I'm out of town this weekend. Bummed that I'm going to miss this opportunity to meet you. Hopefully you'll do another San Fran meetup soon!

[@MsStephNic]

Haifa likely not on that day. But I would for sure pop in to say hi sometime. Just let me know which one & what days ❤️

[@ks2994]

Stephanie Nicole would this product do anything for texture and pores?

[@Heyfa]

Stephanie Nicole I would never think that you would EVER push products on us! I'm sad you had to give a disclaimer, but I completely understand why you did! You my dear are an inspiration! -Xo

[@roxopoks]

Stephanie Nicole I'm having a little trouble with these ingredients and how they are said to work. I was wondering if the cosmetics laws are different in the USA than in Europe (actually I know they are, stricter laws here in Europe) because what you're saying about some of the ingredients going deep into the skin or somehow working in the deeper layers of the skin... as a beautician who's now studying the chemistry of cosmetics I call bullshit on that. :D here in Europe cosmetics cannot penetrate deep into the skin, they work only on the first layer. All of the marketing that states they do work deeper is only that - marketing. Not actually true. If they work deeper they would have to be labeled as medicinal. I'm genuinely interested if you can tell is the legislation so different there? But otherwise I loved this video and your content in general, I really do appreciate you going into so much detail in your videos. So not trying to be mean here, this is the only video I've seen by you that has left me wondering. :) thank you for your great work!

[@MsStephNic]

I work in formulations, done with my schooling. I can assure you certain ingredients do penetrate deeper into the skin, where some ingredients because of their molecular size, like mineral oil, just sit on top. Like attracts like. So the sebum in your skin, attracts other ingredients that are similar. The EU is very strict. When we sell a product there, to put anything on a label, we have to pay a TON of money to go through their testing. Every single claim needs to be substantiated. Green beauty is a little different. They are natural ingredients that have been around since ancient times. No one wants to dish out money to pay for the testing. You may call bullshit, but the results I see, & many others have too, are hard to argue with.

[@roxopoks]

Okay, so it's probably that the legislation is so different. I'm not saying that ingredients can't work deeper, just that the ones that do shouldn't be in cosmetic products - but again, might just be the legislation here, I haven't studied the laws in the USA. And I don't call bullshit on the product working, I'm sure it has more of an effect when it goes deeper, just that here in EU it's not allowed to work that deep. So that just confused me, because of what I've learned :) I should read up more on how these things work in the USA, but thanks for responding and clearing this up for me! I'm sure it's a real pain to get a product on the markets here, I can imagine.

[@jcjccmz]

Stephanie Nicole I definitely agree that there are funding issues with testing of ingredients from plants and such that have been used for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years. Much of the funding of medicinal and healthcare ingredients (including in universities) are done for securing a government patent or monopoly, which is not available for things that has been around and in use for hundreds of years. It would be cool though to know if there are any reliable sources of information on the beneficial properties of these oils and other skincare ingredients. If you have sources or a systematic method for researching skincare ingredients, could you please share?

[@AngeliqueMarieLaporte]

PLEASE DO NOT EVER STOP MAKING VIDEOS🙏🏽. Seriously. I've only been a subscriber for about a month or so, but I very quickly fell in love with you and your channel! As a biological sciences graduate, I highly appreciate the research and work you put into your content!! Always backed with knowledge and presented in a systematic way and clear way. Definitely speaks to my inner nerd 🤓 📑📚💻 . Also thank you for being genuine and honest in all your reviews! You've definitely helped guide some beauty purchases, past and present. The beauty community has become saturated with disingenuous reviews and just full of people pushing products to make a quick dime.

[@AngeliqueMarieLaporte]

Also, the link for the sample doesn't seem to work. I've tried it on multiple browsers and it gives a 404 error

[@RhondaRambles]

+Angelique Laporte from that error page I clicked on 'Skin' next to the logo and then 'Custom Sample Service' was an option on the left hand side of the page. I was able to successfully order my sample just now.

[@bellavita3941]

yup same for me. When I glanced at their site it said something along the lines free samples with every purchase. (don't quote me not sure whether you need to buy something or not) I am willing to buy a sample or a couple from the site. An then if I like anything I would def buy from them.They would get my loyalty, I think that's amazing they are willing to box up an customize samples that might fit your skin care needs.

[@susanlynn5159]

Angelique Laporte maybe the site was down when you tried bc it's working now.

[@MrMarkymark005]

I ordered a bottle right after I watched your interview. I've been using it daily for about a month. I've never had to spend as much money as I did on this, I've been fortunate genetically with my skin. HOWEVER, this product is worth every single solitary penny. I cannot believe the effects. I don't think I've gone a day without getting commentary and/or compliments on how my skin is looking & how much it's changed. My skin looks and feels better then it did when I was 20. I smoked cigarettes for many years & had some damage, at least that I noticed. Fine lines around my eyes & across my forehead, all of them have nearly disappeared only after a month. The results have been INCREDIBLE. Thank you very very much for the recommendation.

[@TracyD2]

MrMarkymark005 Do tell. How long does this bottle last you. Maybe if I break it down I'll invest in this.

[@TheFaro2011]

MrMarkymark005 yes share and share alike

[@MrMarkymark005]

Tracy I've had the bottle for just about 36-37 days. The first week I used it twice daily, about a few drops per use, which is enough to cover face & neck. I only use it at night now, after cleansing & toning, right before bed. I still have over half the bottle remaining, it's supposed to last for 8 weeks but I think it'll cover a longer period of time than that for me. I've got normal skin, a little on the dry side outside of the t zone. For those with combo or oily skin, it would be better to use a bit less then I do. It absorbs rather quickly, it feels kinda like a dry oil, not greasy at all, but it's oil none the less.

[@jaxxiet5851]

MrMarkymark005 thank you

[@thefancyface]

I grabbed it after seeing the interview and I love it....I have no solid background to say why I love it or even dramatic results BUT I can say it makes my skin feel good, look good and smell good. LOL! How's that for intellectual feedback!

[@victoriabusch1212]

Would very much like to express my gratitude for your time, research, and expertise in reviewing Vintner's Daughter Serum. Since using 1st bottle I have experienced no harm and realized positive moisturizing properties. 64, sensitive fair combination skin, milia issues, radiation marks.

[@steotrron]

Thank you so much for that break down on Paula's Choice and their stance on essential oils. I remember coming across the site a couple of years ago and was genuinely confused as to why they admonished the use of these oils. I work in skin care and have had customers come to me citing PC, and although their attempt to educate the masses is valiant, it could pose a threat in terms of misinformation. Not too many people will go out of their way to do additional research on these claims. So again, THANK YOU!

[@IntentionalObserver]

There are times I watch your reviews on things that I know I won't buy at that time. I watch because your videos have such a great quality - in terms of the intro, content, and editing - that I watch anyway and really enjoy them. Usually I find that I learn something beyond just learning about the product you're focusing on. Great video, as always :) P.S. Your nails are beautiful! I love lavender nails

[@AggresivelyBenign]

I purchased this on your recommendation, and I luuuuuuuv it. Seriously can’t believe how quickly my skin has changed. I bought it and Luna at the same time because I got tired of my skin being shitty, and for the first time ever my pores shank in DAYS. It’s incredible. Thanks so much for recc. Also, could you maybe do one on your fav masks for dry skin?

[@sultan1122]

I bought this product because i trust Stephanie more than any youtuber and most dermatologists to be quite honest. I am 25, and this actually helped my skin. (I smoke and live in the middle east so our weather here is hectic to say the least). I've never been comfortable with my skin tone because I'm a bit too pale and kept spray tanning religiously (like nearly every day) to hide my uneven skintone and blemishes. This REALLY helped my skin, and it's been 2 months since i've spray tanned. I would definitely recommend this product if you're REALLY into skincare like i am. I'm not bullshitting you when i say I've received numerous compliments about my skin recently. THANK YOU STEPHANIE. ILYSM; Can't wait for the next video

[@sultan1122]

PS. Me saying i smoke is me justifying why i tend to spend a lot on cosmetics, because i feel i'm accelerating the aging of my skin so I'm trying to counter that effect. This isn't something a regular 25 year old would need

[@jamiesproles3395]

iAyo SB try to embrace your skin tone. we're all beautiful with our array of skin tones. each one slightly different. if you change it to match someone else, you no longer stand out in the rainbow. you just blend in to someone else. definitely try to give up the smoking though. it will help your whole body, not just your skin.

[@doncotton]

iAyo SB Why not just stop smoking then?

[@sultan1122]

Thanks for the kind words! I definitely appreciate my skin tone much more now, i guess i just loved the change. But now I'm more comfortable with my skin than ever.

[@sultan1122]

Easier said than done I'm afraid. But i am trying to reduce it as much as possible. I used to smoke 20+ a day, now I'm down to 5-6 cigs a day. So hopefully soon i'll be smoking free ^_^

[@RumiB08]

I love how your reviews are always so detailed and cover everything xxx

[@emilymaee17]

I'm allergic to lavender (I'm talking swollen throat, dizziness, spots/rash all over, headaches, you name it) so I obviously can't use this product, but thank you for mentioning the fact that people need to just try essential oils out and do their own research. I feel like so many consumers of beauty products are not educating themselves enough - they are just going off short recommendations from beauty bloggers/beauty editors (eg I love this product! Smells so good!) that may not have any idea about what they are promoting. Thanks for all of your hard work on every video.

[@debbietomassi3689]

I'd love for you to review The Ordinary. I just ordered 5 of their serums and started using them this week, I'm pleased so far.

[@NuschBos99]

I was just thinking the same thing. Because she explains everything kinda foolproof. I am curious about The Ordinary. Especially after Wayne Goss talked about them

[@mascaramermaid]

Debbie Tomassi Yes! Would love that!

[@becky6739]

I've been using the ordinaries love them.

[@Molochai]

I would love this too!!!

[@hannah-ts5kb]

I'm only 24 but I hope this sticks around because it sounds amazing! I would definitely love to use it once my skin starts changing as I get older.

[@marialuutarelo]

alienbratgurl 24 is a good age to start skin care. I wish I would have started at 20 :/

[@hannah-ts5kb]

True! I use cleanser/toner/serum/eye cream right now but I think this specific skincare item is meant for people with more mature skin

[@marialuutarelo]

That would be me hehe I am 27 looking 30. I never cared for my skin until I turned 25, bad bad decision.

[@NickD116]

You are by far my faveourite beauty blogger on KZbin. No nonsense, insanely well researched and unafraid to think outside the box. It's inspiring to see! Big love from London 🙌

[@KaylaGriffith]

OMG. YOUR HAIR LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL. IN LOVE WITH THE COLOR. 💕

[@kathryndesplanque7958]

I wanted to tell you that as a make up and skincare fanatic, and a PhD candidate in the Humanities, your reviews do everything for me. You're analytical, thorough, and transparent about your sources. You're straight forward, you aren't bubbly, and you don't regurgitate claims, which so so so many channels do. I appreciate your reviews as objects of accessible and honest research that expose larger audiences to understanding their skin on a chemical and microscopic level. And I also have learned so so much from them about getting the most out of the products I use. Watching your videos revolutionized the way I use face oils, and in turn, this proper use of face oils has had a huge impact on my skin health. So glad your channel exists!

[@Tarababyz]

I was one of those hellbent on essential oils are bad based off the PC books etc... I'm slowly starting to change my opinion, I just got the Herbivore Phoenix Oil and gee whiz I really like it... have you tried any Herbivore Oils? I'm adding Sunday Riley Juno to my bucket for the sale... contemplating the Vintners Daughter ... this video was expensive LOL ... Headed to watch more of your skincare vids... I'm all about the skincare... its like science and my skincare table is my laboratory haha... TFS!! xx

[@rian6858]

Tarababyz uh oh tara if you start in on skincare,girl your going to need a whole additional room with new tool boxes....and a guard...and a damn moat😂😂😂

[@Leuca.]

Ugh, part of me wants to dabble in essential oils too, but my skin has been really reactive lately ever since a bout of contact dermatitis and I'm afraid to really experiment. I prefer safe rather than sorry when it comes to my skin and its sensitivity. I'm eager for you to post an update on your skincare, Tara!

[@MsStephNic]

Tarababyz Tara! I tried one of their oils. It was heavy on me. I need to try some others. I've heard great things. So happy to hear you love it ❤️ your recent hauls have been calling to me 😬

[@mayangirl3757]

I would love for you to do a Dupes videos..my budget doesn't allow this, but would love your opinion in similar products, from cleaning, toner , etc.. ..Hope this topic will interest you..Thanks so much for all your hard work..

[@rian6858]

although I'm not interested in purchasing this, I just came to learn about some oils as I figured you would go over all the ingredients. well done per usual Stephanie! thank you for all your hard work and I can't wait to hear your recommendations for the sale. I think I'm just getting skin care backups this year...and the kvd palette..ok some more marc Jacobs glosses oh who am I kidding I'm going the end up with a huge box I could build my own damn sephora with damn it😜😜

[@natalieb.996]

Can you please do a video about basic affordable skincare (face wash, moisturiser, toner, oils, spf, etc.) for the younger audience with dry skin? It's so hard to find good product recommendations for 20 year olds with dry skin. Absolutely love watching your videos! Everything you recommend is 💣! xx

[@christeene8082]

OMG...Keegan! I nearly choked over that story,holy geez...both funny n' painful😂💔. Curious to know his reaction when you told him the cost? I'm currently saving up to buy this ( saw your last interview with April,a while back). I'm crazy over face oils...n dying to buy this item...but it definitely runs pricey for Canadian shipping💔. Thanks again Steph,always awesome reviews... look forward to more😊❤❤

[@criscoonabrick]

Your skincare reviews are the best!!! So much useful information, no filler.

[@Supportnotstigmaa]

Happy birthday Steph! Amazing video! Your skin does look pretty damn awesome btw👍😁

[@MsStephNic]

Mary Jayne thank you Mary!

[@philisahobbs2110]

could you review olay skin care products or another really affordable skin care products PLEASE? I respect your opinion so much,I learn so much from you.i know you said I can look at the ingredients then look on other products that are affordable then go from there which I will do but I also wanted to see if you could maybe do a review sometime when you would have time? I know you want to test products before rewiewing of course but I wouldn't even care if you didn't lol I just want to see your opinions and recommendations on more affordable products,I think at this point I really am just rambling I just wanted you to understand where I'm coming from lol

[@surfnyolly]

Great video, and you are my HG reviewer, therefore I purchased this right after your interview. And because you turned me on to preparing a good base canvas (skin) for the beautiful paint (make up). My skin is combo (t zone oil) and wasn't awful to begin with. I started using this oil, but was using too much, thinking it was like my moisturizer. Therefore I broke out mildly. When I started using this, I also started good genes, Luna, and Pixi pads. So my skin looked great, felt super soft, and the oil production lessened. I can't pin point which product, or all of them, improved my skin. Currently, I've been using VD on and off bc I was waiting for your full review. I will use it nightly now. It's a little too heavy for me under my makeup during the day. I hope this was helpful and I'll update this comment, after a few wks of continued use, for anyone who wants to follow.

[@surfnyolly]

And Happy Birthday!

[@dopehat868]

surfnyolly Would love to see update of your thoughts when the time comes! 😬😬

[@surfnyolly]

Hi all, I just wanted to follow up since I started using VD on a more consistent basis. So yes, I still agree it's too heavy for day use, but using it nightly after my cleanse (Indie Lee brightening-TophCam), Toner (Maycoop), Good Genes/Luna (alternate nights), VD (Steph Nicole), and Belif to seal it all in has been amazing! And P50 1-2 times night a week, just too strong for me to use daily. Hope this helps!

[@dopehat868]

surfnyolly My notifications came up saying that you'd replied with an update but I can't see it here? (Don't know if that's my computer being weird or something?) I'd love to read your update!! 😊😇

[@surfnyolly]

L Burns hmm yes, I did reply bc I did want to get back to you. Can you see this comment?

[@cynthiahernandez2673]

Stephanie, I've learned so much about skin care through your videos. I just want to thank you for taking time to gather so much information, you're like the cliffs notes of beauty/skin care.

[@LilCarol82]

I think a confident smart and successful woman like yourself is admirable.... Btw..bought this about a month ago and I love it.

[@EricSanchez]

You are extremely well spoken and VERY informative. One of the best product reviews (if not, the best) that I have ever seen on KZbin.

[@JulieAronson]

Great review! I have just been getting more into skincare in the last 6 months or so, and it has changed my skin! I never had huge skin problems, but nevertheless I feel and see such a big difference. A lot of that comes from your recommendations, so thank you! This is probably not for me yet, but maybe it'll be something I'll consider in the next 5-10 years. Definitely seems like a great product.

[@themooniebella5781]

Jujubeeauty same here. got into skincare because of her and Caroline

[@melissaunderwood8396]

I honestly think the skin care videos are my favorites. I'm so thankful for all the work you do for these. I can't thank you enough. I just started a great new skin care night routine thanks to you and I love it. My face already feels so much better.

[@trishadrozdowski3798]

I'm so excited to buy this now! ❤️ thanks for always giving really solid reviews and opinions

[@michelle8453]

Your one of the few youtubers that is actually informative. Your amazing! Your helping me so much figuring out and I'm doing my own research into skincare.

[@katieg081]

you do the most professional and thorough reviews i've ever come across. they're all amazing

[@TaleiErika]

I love how honest you always are in your reviews. This currently doesn't fit in my budget but when it does I really want to try it out

[@momahl114]

I can't tell you how much I feel you Stephanie!! My guy friends dressed up for Halloween and because I care about their skin, I gave them my expensive Halloween makeup. There was no way my bf was going to put on that greasy makeup they sell at Halloween stores. They DUG IN my makeup. I was like NOOOOO! We had a chat about how a little goes a long way... that's WHY it is expensive (partly). Also happy birthday!!

[@Monz486]

I have lately started watching ur videos and subscribed, I would say it's been like couple of months. To me watching ur video is like taking a class, u r such a professor 🤓 , I enjoy and appreciate your honesty. And the fact that u r in my neighborhood (I m from Sacramento) just makes it so easier to fall in love with ya... just saying 😊😊😊 I know u don't really care for KZbinrs getting out a palette with their name on it but I still want your opinion on Morphe with Kathleen lights...👍👍👍

[@ZuckerWatte2311]

you are the best and the most honest youtuber ever

[@angelabilyeu2334]

I love love love you! No one else uses the products for so long before recommending. I love the message in the beginning. I can always count on your for honestly. Don't stop making videos.

[@lexipap]

Stephanie I LOVE your channel. It's so informative - I really appreciate the time and effort you put into getting all the facts and numbers together to present to your viewers....thank you! And you're so open and honest about things too which is really refreshing in this community. This should be categorised as an educational channel honestly. I learn so much every time I tune in😊.

[@jessicawang9664]

Thank you Stephanie! I was suffering from a serious skin reaction caused by retinal A and strong cleaning products! After I saw your interview I order through their website and started using it right after I got it around mid October. I'm 48 this year and my skin is still super oil, but this time I just changed my skin routine to cleanser, toner, and VD oil! And I'm going to stick with it because it works!!! It took away all the breakouts, discoloration, flackery dead skins and my skin is actually smoother, less oil, and I can see the pores are getting smaller for as long as I can remember! Maybe later I'll add some hydration products to the routine but for now I want to let my skin heal first. So for the oil mature skin like my --- less is more--- that's what I told myself everyday now, because I try EVERYTHING! Including Sunday Riley's oils and good genes, they were good just didn't have the effect that VD oil does for my skin! So thanks again for pointing the right direction for me! And happy birthday to you! I wish I could meet you if you come back to Boston!

[@sulkypigeon]

I followed a link from a man repeller article to this video and I am IN LOVE with how informative you are. Incredible. Never stop.

[@tiahr1939]

i truly love your channel so much because you don't simply review but also teach and inform us on everything and allow us to make our own choices

[@dermgal2106]

yas! i loved the fire/rose gold tones in your hair in previous videos and now they look amplified. gorgeous

[@BBQUAM]

I love how you started the video out about priorities, you said it perfectly!!! love how you put it! lovin your videos girl keep it up!!!!

[@giornatadeliziosa]

lol Keegan done goofed! I smiled when you said he used the serum like a $5 moisturizer, and then I laughed when you said he threw out your empty boxes. Too funny.

[@92aliciarae]

Here is what I LOVE about your videos.. You are not pushing this product on anyone and everyone. You are literally one of the only KZbin guru that tells it how it is! Now that being said, I'm struggling with not purchasing this product! I'm 24 so i'll take your word on not needing it, but i've never been so excited to hit 30 haha! :)

[@jamietastic629]

I ordered this product after i watched your video and it came in the mail today! I am so excited to see the results! Thank you Stephanie!!!

[@gwenwhyfare]

I started watching your videos around the time I went off birth control last October and am so grateful for your skin care videos. I've struggled with bad skin and hormonal acne since puberty and for the first time in my life my skin didn't freak out while not being on BC. I still get some hormonal break outs when my period comes around, but not to the extent that I used to. Thank you for making these super informative and educational videos 😊❤️ I'm interested to try this serum out and will definitely be saving up for it (and hiding it from my husband to avoid him doing what Keegan did 👍🏻)

[@gabrielamunoz1427]

Thank you so much for this review! I'm in my late 20s, so I don't think I quite need this now. But I'll definitely keep this in mind as I head into my 30s. I am currently using Jouer's Daily Clarifying oil, which does share 3 ingredients with Vitner's Daughter (grape seed, primrose, and rosemary), is fragrance free, and $60. The formulation has been great for my acne prone combination skin. I'd definitely recommend that as an alternative for those of us in the younger set!

[@lindavirgilio8464]

Hi Stephanie, I've learned so much watching you ! Thank you for doing all the research that is beyond my knowledge base. I've asked for a bottle of vintner's daughter for my Christmas/birthday present. Im a young looking 54 and can't wait to get this product !! Thank you for saving me so much money by your honest reviews !! I'm money ahead for sure !!

[@sabic009]

Just ordered this not that I needed to spend anymore on my skin care but Stephanie just convinced me I needed it in my life haha

[@RRbobreed]

I'm so happy you touched on difference between "in vitro" vs "in vivo" testing and their supposed results! Please consider doing a review reiterating your explanation and explaining that the vast majority of "in vitro" results can't be extrapolated into the same results when topically applied. This could help so many people from being as vulnerable to the marketing manipulation that runs rampant in the beauty industry. PLEASE!!!

[@marynall7280]

I am new to your channel. I just want to tell you how much I appreciate your intelligent and thorough reviews. I love the fact you talk about the science. I have been binge watching you for last three days. I have made some purchases based on your recommendations, and look forward to seeing how my skin responds. Thank you for the time and effort you put into your channel.

[@r_uacan2787]

Update: Been using this for about three weeks and my skin feels marvelous!!! Will keep purchasing!!! Highly recommend. Worth the price in my opinion.

[@ivettealmanza6081]

Your reviews are simply the best! Most thorough and educational.Thank YOU!

[@halosunnah5446]

please try niod or any deceim product :) I'd like to watch your reviews on them

[@hk19478]

Anne Tan I second this! I've been recently introduced to the brand through Wayne Goss and have ordered a few products as well.

[@ShanGooFan]

Even though this product is far above my budget I've been so looking forward to this review. I'm in my mid-40's now and skincare has become my focus. Great, thorough review as always Stephanie! I appreciate you including other similar oil options too.

[@lizalaska5084]

Great video. Thank you Stephanie. So many people ask me about Vintners Daughter. Especially "is it worth the money?" I will certainly point them to watch this if they're wanting more information. Well done!!

[@afic10]

Hi Stephanie, I can't thank you enough for your deeply research science based, unbiased reviews, I was one of those die hard no, no, essential oils at all, my research wasn't deep enough as yours but your background gives you the upper hand, i couldn't get pass the cytotoxic part, my photosensitive skin (chemo left me feeling like a vampire, the sun literally burns me now) made worse every time I used them and the bad reactions no matter what I did or how much sunscreen I used, but I knew there's must've been something else, solvents!!!, the extraction process was the culprit, I'm actually highly sensitive to the solvents used in extractions so I do have to spend a good penny for super high quality oils, I follow your advice and just kept trying and testing, now I'm a fan of Good Genes by SR which I bashed and hated the price tag, specially after seeing the essential oils part but I agree with you, if it's has more benefits than the potential side effects the natural smell has then is not just fragrant, I use less products every time and my skin hasn't looked this better, thanks again for the effort your put in every review, I know how time consuming it can be, people who put out content like yours deserves to be supported with every link so don't ever feel uncomfortable doing so, smart consumers can smell bs from miles nowadays, thanks again.

I purchased Vintner's Daughter about two month's ago but started getting really itchy on my neck so I stopped using it. But the itchiness has returned sporadically and I haven't really changed any of my routine. I did switch from DE TLC to SR Good Genes (but that was only about a week ago). I'm thinking it was just my skin acting up because of the heat and sweating during the summer. Now I'm as dry as the Sahara and getting patches of eczema around my eyes (EEP!). This is going to be a rough winter here on the east coast. I'm going to re-incorporate Vintner's Daughter into my AM routine. I really did love the feel and smell. Plus the price tag will really kill me if I can't use it...my sister already called dibs, if I can't use it. Love this video...as always super informative. Where you find the time to do all this research and filming/editing boggles my mind!!! Thank you so much for all your hard work. Good luck with your new regions :)

[@Heyfa]

I've never been so early!!!!😱 second like! My husband is the same way as Kegan (I'm sorry if it's misspelled) 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@KtMcG0718]

Awesome review! And so glad you liked it because I was impatient and ordered a bottle 2 weeks ago. ;) Would have been bummed if you didn't like it! Oh, and for anyone reading the comments and wondering about shipping directly from the website, I believe the flat rate shipping is 2 day Priority mail (came super fast and was cheap- can't remember how much, maybe $5 or something??). She also sent a sample in a small glass vial. :)

[@darkrose00]

So so happy for this video! After watching Caroline's reco and then your interview - this is now on my wish list.

[@JamesJustNow]

This video is brilliant!! Thank you! The way you referenced the studies used by Paula's Choice on essential oils was fascinating. You really do your homework and I appreciate it xx

[@gabilu91]

I really want to try this serum!! When I finish all my stash of serums and oils, I'll try this... Also, I have to say this as a scientist: Besides the fact that in vivo an in vitro studies are different, cancer cells are waaaaaay different than normal cells. They have a different phenotype than normal cells, so it is an aberration to say that because lavander oil "kills" cancer cells, then kills all cells. OMG! This is why I hate when people do not ask scientists for more information or read more about the topic in question. The better way to research this things is to snoop around in open access journals, like PLOS One (which sucks, wish all journals were open access to let the people know about studies!). Anyways. Love this video, Steph! You have one of the best contents around KZbin! xx

[@LapisTiger]

This is worth investing in. Especially for daytime use. I use Snail Mucin for nighttime. Thank you for the excellent information,Stephanie 🤗

[@glamourglitterqueen1948]

Hi Stephanie - I ADORE your videos. They are beyond educational and I find them addicting and so interesting to watch. I have learned so much and in return, I have taught others what I have learned. I have so many on the same skin regime you are on and they are amazed as to how much passion they say I exude when explaining how products work and what their benefit is....So, thank you! One question I really hope I get an answer to is, can I go online and buy certain oils such as Rosehip and Carrot seed oil, to make my own concoction??

[@satichild]

GlamourGlitter Queen yes you can and for far far cheaper

[@glamourglitterqueen1948]

satichild - thank you so much!!! I am definitely going to look into doing that!!

[@MsRaconteur]

Make sure to do some research on the ratios of oils u should use though

[@glamourglitterqueen1948]

I thought of that...That is the confusing part! LOL

[@marlamann-bender4811]

Incredible video Steph- HAPPY BIRTHDAY GORGEOUS !!!!! we missed you !!! 😘

[@aprilelkins3339]

Thank you for such an in depth review! I also saw Caroline show this but you answered all of my questions as always. Your in depth reviews are always so helpful! Thanks again.

[@vanessamarieellingsen3126]

You are the best product reviewer on KZbin! Do you think you could review the Riley Sunday U.F.O oil?? Please 😇

[@vanessamarieellingsen3126]

I meant Sunday Riley, haha.

[@MsStephNic]

Vanessa Marie Ellingsen thank you ❤️ it's a well formulated oil if you are good with BHA. It's too aggressive for my dry skin

[@vanessamarieellingsen3126]

You´re welcome

[@tracyulrich1977]

Thank you so much for this video! And thank you for also including other oils you enjoy and comparing them to this oil! You are by far the greatest youtuber in history, Stef! And an amazing person all the way around! Oh, and happy birthday gorgeous! 😉😉 I absolutely adore you!!!!

[@sarahnielsen2074]

35????? Girl you are KILLING it. You look 27...I need to do what you're doing 😍

[@lynettereese993]

First of all, I just found u this weekend, love your videos. Even though I can't afford this, knowing the ingredients and what they do was great information. And I actually have a lot of theses oils separately. Can't wait to get a chance to watch more of your videos as I definitely have skin issues. So glad I found you. Really enjoyed your reviews.

[@marnieakemi]

Thank you so much for this great video! I really appreciate the time you took to give such detailed information. Because of you I changed my skincare routine and my skin has never looked better. It's so important to be conscious of the ingredients we put inside and outside our bodies. I'm definitely a person who prioritize on quality food and skincare over material possessions. I want to age gracefully. Looking forward to the next video!

[@supervixen8556]

Appreciate the links for the articles and journals to learn about formulations. Love that you are so educated and continue to do research and share it with your viewers and SM followers! Sounds like a great product need to save up for it since I can’t afford it for now.

[@TheImpairment]

Happy birthday Steph! You're an inspiration and I appreciate your hustle! I aspire to be like you!

[@darknightscitylight]

Happy Early Birthday! Hope your next year is filled with lots of opportunities and growth! xo

[@seeambergo08]

Thank you so much for this review. I've been waiting on it since you did the first video on Vintners Daughter. You are one of my favorite You Tubers. I love that you give so much information and can back up that information. Thank you so much for your reviews. 😊

[@saraheeeeeee4552]

Omg I've been wanting this forever but it's so much. Sooooo glad you reviewed! About to watch to see if it's worth it.

[@Sconniegal]

Not sure this fits in my budget but I loved the video. My first major in college was chemistry. I love getting my geek on while watching your videos and how you break everything down.

[@lorrainecalvert824]

Once again a thoroughly intelligent, clear and informative video. I learn so much from you and I have to say your skin looks amazing! I really appreciate your remarks about the cost of this oil. I just really appreciate you. And OMG I see you are having a Meet & Greet in SF! Going to check it out!

[@dscalia2443]

Super informative as always. I was especially interested to hear you talk about Beautypedia. It is so hard to find good information about cosmetics and skincare, and I frequently reference Paula's site. But, I also greatly value the information you provide in your reviews, and I have often noted that your opinions differ from Paula. I'm glad to hear you challenge that site directly (and respectfully), as it is so helpful to hear differing perspectives with this kind of detail and clarity. At the end of the day I suppose we all have to experiment and find what works for us, but both you and Paula have been - and continue to be - much appreciated resources for preliminary research. Thank you - keep it up!

[@PalemoonTwilight]

Thank you so much for checking this out and doing such a comprehensive review. I am 55 years old and recently did an Instagram image on my skincare. I have been using Asterwood Naturals Matrixyl Argireline Vitamin C Anti-Aging Serum with Hyaluronic Acid, along with a Korean Donkey Milk gel cream. I am very interested in the product you review here, and my replace my serum with it. Again...Thanks, Stephanie!

[@yvonnerahmes9618]

I watched your interview/discussion with the maker of the Vitner's daughter soon after you posted video. It was in depth and very informative. So glad to see you dig deeply into this and make this video. Reading some comments it seems it's the hot seat for you... it's overwhelming for me, ikes, thinking about more debate... Anyways I just had my 60th birthday (congrats on 35 for you!) and I am satisfied with what you have done in these two videos and links to feel I know what I would be getting into with this product. I'm going to hit my husband up for it, he can afford it and he's missed 2yrs of my B-day, Christmas, and Valentine's! The pain's a' comin' for him in the wallet! Hah! :)

[@livebeautylovex]

Fantastic video, so informative - thank you for taking the time to film it !

[@sugibaker6439]

Ok, I just want to say thank you for your incredible, informative and comprehensive reviews. Frankly, a lot of this just went right over my head...lol But the amount of work you put into your research and the quality of your videos is truly appreciated. They are so well done, kudos to you. Thank you again. I won't be buying this, but still enjoyed every second of the video.

[@cristinabalan4037]

I was looking at this after reading about it on CH's blog and I've reached two conclusions:A. It will probably burn my rosacea prone skin off due to the amount of fragrant oils and B. It is well overpriced for its ingredients.But skin works in mysterious ways, so who knows?

[@osheenabhangoo]

I have a question, what is the best sunscreens that you suggest ? Or could you maybe do a video on your suggestions? Sunscreen is the hardest thing for me to find

[@lydiaiscool]

Happy birthday! Cheers to another wonderful year! Thank you for such an in-depth video XO

[@Vicki-Z]

I love that you review all price brand products. I am willing to pay more money for a product that works. Thank you!!!! Also, I bought a bottle after watching your interview and have been waiting to use it to see your review on how you use it!!

[@JoyeSmith]

I watched the interview....ordered from the link on your video there...So now watching the review. I have watched your skincare videos and trust in what you say so I am really looking forward to trying out this oil... I LOVE skincare as you do so I am looking forward to seeing the results...

[@Paintthesewings]

Can I just say that kind of blue looks really great on you :) ohhhh, that rhymed 😝😝😝

[@mexigirl86]

I have been making my own face oil for a while with half of those ingredients you mentioned and my skin looks great! 😊

[@DaxDives]

Stephanie, would you consider doing a video on ingredients to avoid or take caution with in skincare and makeup?

[@MyLifeWendy]

I just had to stop midway through and say WoW thorough and I am so thankful for all you put into this video for us!!! Ok back to watching

[@Anarinola]

@Stephaine Nicole, Thank you Sooooo much!! I've watched other Beauty KZbinrs and enjoy their reviews but none of them give the depth of information I've been searching for. Then I found you, and I'm ecstatic! You are IT!!! Ty Ty Ty !! :D Keep it up Super glad I found you!

[@DoctorAnne]

It was very interesting to see what it did replace in your routine.

[@tensiperez7555]

You are my favorite by far and your reviews can't be beat! I love how you detail everything so clearly and even though I can't afford this oil at the moment, it still taught me a lot and there are other oils I may find that may contain some of the ingredients. I am 65 and retired, so my budget is strict, but I am happy for those who can afford it! I am printing all the information to include in your notebook. I say "your notebook" because I have dedicated a three ring binder just for you! You are THE best!!! As to your boyfriend, I think he needs to go on "time out". By the way, did you tell him what the oil cost? LOL! Men...

[@sherryg1838]

This was very informative on essential oils vs. carrier oils. Thank you for the info on the study Beautypedia used, I was always curious about that. I have an allergy to fragrance and a sensitivity to essential oils, and this serum would probably burn like fire, lol. Because of my skin, I rely heavily on Beautypedia reviews, and would be lost without them. Paula's Choice products are wonderful for my skin. However, I was wondering if it was accurate for everyone. Your peanut analogy was an excellent way to explain it. But I have to admit, I still lean on the side that it's irritating for everyone, although I realize my personal experience colors things. As someone with oily skin prone to breakouts, I do strongly disagree that oily skin needs natural oils. Especially, since potential irritation can cause more breakouts. Also, a question I have is whether there are studies that show the vitamins in these oils actually penetrate skin and have benefits, other than moisturizing. I realize they contain the vitamins, but haven't seen any studies that show benefits. I enjoy your videos a lot and love how you reference research. Your videos are like a breath of fresh air in the You Tube world. I especially enjoyed your video with your mom, she seems like a wonderful person.
