Do you cycle your actives too or do you do the same thing every night? Also which products would you like me to talk about in more detail? 😊

[@MissNessia]

Do you use the bha and aha product in the same routine?

[@Roll587]

I alternate nights between Adapalene and Azelaic Acid.

[@gs9935]

I noticed your routine includes products with fragrance and jar packaging. Would you consider doing or are you currently working on videos on these topics? Also, when you cleanse your face in the shower how long is it until you apply the rest of your products? I've always felt kind of stuck over whether to cleanse my face in the shower and risk it going dry if I don't apply products fast enough, doing my skincare before I shower or after? Many thanks 😊👍

[@hanamiya8008]

Lab Muffin Beauty Science i usually do same thing every night since it cuts the budget very much :)) sometimes i use wash-off mask just to make myself feel good

[@lolaarcana]

I would really apprieciate a video comparing different acids, especially the Biologique Recherche Lotion. Is it worth the money? Also the new Glossier 'The Solution'. Generally an acid update would be really great! Thanks! You're awesome x

[@likithareddy5046]

I use the same products it cuts budget , and I have once heard derm saying , it's your brain that wants new things not your skin

[@m.younis9849]

OUCH!!!!!!

Your derm sounds like the kind of person that tells me the kind of truths that I just straight up don’t want to hear 😂

[@tinad.5752]

So TRUE! 🎯

[@boxcars10]

Me: *Trying to keep it simple* My dry, acne prone skin: lol sorry bud, it's gonna be more complicated than that.

[@nicenspice11]

Could you do a video on percentages of different actives? For example the efficacy of 4% vs 10% niacinamide.

[@LabMuffinBeautyScience]

That's a great idea! Thank you 😊

[@austinq3151]

Speaking of niacinamide... how about the different benefits amongst the different concentrations? We know it’s also considered a lightening component to certain topicals, does that only occur with a certain percentage or it just scales depending on the percentage?

[@AnthonyYung_]

Higher percentage of actives may increase their efficacy and achieve faster result, but at the same time it could be potentially more irritating as well.

[@BeyondBrii]

niacinamide isn’t an active though? but yeah, most studies i’ve seen reference it say nothing over 5% is affective, so i hope she makes a video on that anyway!

[@m.younis9849]

@@LabMuffinBeautyScience REMEBER THIS VIDEO PLEASE 😅

[@softasapanda]

Packaging is way more important than people give it credit for. I find myself resenting any cleanser with a screw top because I want to put the lid back on straight away but I've got one hand to do so. I go for cleansing oil over balms because a pump is so much easier! And as for actives right now I'm on a complicated schedule of tret for 2 days, nothing for 2 days, bha & vit c 4 days in the morning (bha nose only and no vit c on nose), and pha the 3 nights leading up to tret. It sounds mad but it seems to be working.

[@pia1851]

Really appreciate your high standard of integrity. You're the only online source of skincare advice I trust

[@omarpierre249]

Could you please do a video on which ingredients you should not be using together? It can feel overwhelming at times. Thank you so much for the educational content, you’re amazing!

[@jessicagomez1760]

I really appreciate the thorough approach in her blog. A methodical pro through and through ❤️

My routine is similar, which is reassuring - it means I'm learning. I'd love to see a video about the typical active ingredients in masks: kaolin clay, yogurt, honey, rice, etc. and what each really does for your skin.

[@TheSim1derful]

This is such a great video idea!! Where's Michelle lol

Hello, Michelle! Thank you for sharing your skincare philosophy and routine in depth. 💖

[@laexploradoraaaXD]

This is probably the most useful "my routine" video I've watched. Thank you ❤️

[@imeldamosornio]

Yay! I missed your videos, they're so funny and educational :D

[@LabMuffinBeautyScience]

Yay I'm glad you enjoy them! 😊

[@160p2GHz]

I'm a newer fan catching up on old videos and am happy to see that the schedule I put together for myself based on your more recent videos basically fits your suggestions here. So obviously a testament to your ability to educate that I got things right (I think) just from your talking about the chemistry. :)

[@pretzelsfan]

thank u for talking about PACKAGING and CONVENIENCE! i thought it was just me who hated jars, complicated things, etc. pumps, flip caps, etc. are sooooo important. convenience and efficacy go hand-in-hand for me. if it's inconvenient, i just won't end up using it.

[@LabMuffinBeautyScience]

I think good packaging is underrated - I really appreciate brands that are made by people who enjoy using skincare and have tried out a lot of products for that reason! Sometimes you can sort of tell that the person who chose the packaging didn't try using the product for long enough to realise it should never have been in a pump bottle, or a tube...

[@rhythmandblues_alibi]

This is such a great idea. I've seen some people keep a skincare bullet journal but I don't have the discipline for that. A once a year check-in is something I could manage tho!

Your evening routine is so so similar to mine and I find it very comforting cos my friends think that I'm weird for having separate days for different actives but this routine works the best for me and knowing that you have a somewhat similar routine kinda makes me feel good hehe but anyway, I love love lovee your videos and blog, it makes me learn so much about skincare and the ingredients etc. Thank you for all of the beneficial contents, Michelle! Take care x

Hello from a new UK subscriber 👋 What I started doing in the past 6 months was to take a Sharpie and write on the package the date I open the product . It really prevents me not to use it after the expiry date 👍 Great channel and extremely informative 🙌🏼

[@susanmcf1]

Thank you for the reminder that I can mix my tretinoin with moisturizer for an easier, more even application.

I wish I realised this when I first started 1% retinol - it would've saved me a lot of pain!

[@stephaniesantos78]

besides the point of the video i have to say this makeup color palette is so pretty on you! like the smokey cool-toned brown + muted coral blush and lips with your hair color and skin tone is just perfect

[@tyresseferguson2462]

I write the date that I open a product on the package especially my GM Vitamin C Powder. I also mix the powder into my toner to make sure it's dilutated so I don't feel the grains on my skin.

[@LabMuffinBeautyScience]

That's a great idea!

[@SusanIvanova2257]

Same! I started doing this with contact lenses so I don't accidentally use them longer than I should. And eventually did the same for skincare products, at least the ones where I'm not 100% sure I'll be able to finish them in time. It's so incredibly helpful!

[@laurafuentes66]

You're one of the few people who approach beauty in a scientifically literate, critical way which is awesome. Can you discuss cold cream cleansers like ponds cold cream?

[@kendallstark4302]

Thanks for the great video, Michelle. You're so right about skincare being unique to everyone; after years of trying different moisturizers with supposedly hydrating oils, I've finally realized that my skin doesn't like them. I always end up with whiteheads. The only facial moisturizer that has never, ever made me break out is Olay Total Effects.

[@snkfrk10]

Omg. Love this. I want to record my own habits/products so I can see how I evolve and never forget. Haha

[@jamiliawallace3188]

I love your reaction to the public re: your skincare routine. I find this to be responsible behavior. It amazes me how persons offer skincare consults/advice to mass groups of people without knowing the characteristics of their skin. A product working for one person will not necessarily work for others and so it makes one question this approach

[@mstonecar]

I adore that Neutrogena Ultra Gentle cleanser! I have normal to dry skin so I prefer the cream formula over the foaming one, but I keep the foaming one on hand for when I feel the need for a foam cleaner! I also love the pump. It’s perfect for in the shower. Plus the bottles last forever which is always a plus 💕

Can't wait until your video on the nuface device comes out! I was extremely tempted but I wasn't sure if it was for me. When reviewing would love if you could include the difference between the nuface and face rolling with a refa device (which claim to have solar panels that can be charged and also produce a microcurrent when being used)

[@SusanSlattery]

Ugh, I bought it a few years ago and promptly returned it. Too much maintenance. I'm lazier than Michelle is here. Lisa Elderidge and Angie on Hot + Flashy LOVE the Trinity, but it's just not for me.

[@nyccowgirl1]

I personally use the Myolift as I had read some research on the difference between galvanic current (NuFace) vs. microcurrent (Myolift). Myolift is what they use in spas and while not for the 'lazy', it isn't difficult to use and they offer free training webinars. It's also cheaper, ironically.

[@SusanSlattery]

nyccowgirl1 I just looked up the Myolift and it is in fact significantly more expensive than the Nuface Trinity, unless you are talking about the “mini” Myolift, which is not an equal comparison
