Hi Penn, thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge and experience with us! I learn so much from you. I have a queston reg. Biologique Recherche Lotion P50V 1970. Twice a day I wash my face with a facewash which contains 15% glycolic acid ("Foamer 15" from Dermaceutic. Ingredients: Aqua, Glycolic Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Glycerin, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Polysorbate 80, Propylene Glycol, Methylpropanediol, Glycyrrhetinic Acid, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Cocamidopropyl Betainamide Mea Chloride, Cocamidoppropyl Dimethylamine, Potassium). I'm 46 years old. In the morning I apply further Vit. C+E+Ferulic acid serum from from Timeless, bakuchiol serum, moisturizer and sun screen. In the evening I apply 0.1% tretinoin creme, resveratrol+ferulic serum from Ordinary and moisturizing face cream. Can I apply Biologique Recherche Lotion P50V after my 15% glycolic acid facewash in my AM and PM routine? Which products BR Lotion P50V cannot be combined with? btw: I love your t-shirt. This lovely pink color suits you very well.

[@dianeparks9475]

I loved this so much! I will be 80 next month, was a sun worshipper for YEARS. I never heard of retinol until lockdown and out of boredom started watching you tube. WOW! Was I in for a rude awakening! I am very fair, blonde (now white lol). Sun and age spots abound. I started with my face and will move to décolleté and arms as soon as face is acceptable. I have some stubborn spots along my jaw, that are just not going anywhere. I started with Curology until I found the Ordinary. Currently on 0.1 % Tret, Timeless Vit C, Alpha Arbutin, Matrixyl, Dermelect Sleep Serum, AHA,PHA toner, Korean essence, Drmtlgy Tinted Sunscreen and their Dream Cream, and whatever I happen to use for moisturizer. Whew…surely I left something out! When I can afford, I will definitely take some of your suggestions starting with a pigment inhibitor! Thank you very much for your time and education. You are the greatest!

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

Diane! I just wanted to say you have an awesome routine going!! I am so glad you’re here 💙

[@monicapatton1405]

I had actually never heard of retinol until I started watching KZbin a few years ago. I’m 47 😂 not sure how I missed it. Had definitely been going to the medspa for Botox, peels and facials since my late 20s- but medspa isn’t a doctor and so they only really tell you fru fru products that they sell (typically).

[@pamorama]

The P5 lotion 1970 lotion has been on my radar for years. I just never pulled the trigger but so many people swear by it. I’m very tempted. I think maybe I’ll ask for it for my birthday. Whatever you’re doing Penny it looks fantastic. I really wish I had started my skincare journey a little bit earlier, but I definitely see the results of taking the time to care it’s one of the most rewarding investments we can do for ourselves. I have both the TirTir serum and the CosRX peptide toner on standby. I wanted to mention that Nurium has a really nice BHA liquid exfoliate 2%. I like it better than the iconic Paula’s choice, which I use for many years, because it’s gentler-at least for my skin.

[@TinamariePappas]

I have a day and night routine, but you have several more steps than I could tolerate. I do red-light therapy, vitamin C, a peptide serum, pigment inhibitor, moisturizer and sunscreen in the a.m., and pigment inhibitor, tretinoin, estriol facial cream, and moisturizer in the p.m. I am 61, but told I look 40. The biggest improvements have been from the red-light (I use a Hooga panel, which has been far more effective than my Omnilux mask), and the Estriol cream. Thanks for your videos-

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

I do have a lot of steps. Honestly I could add 5 more and be happy….some people like knitting, buying shoes, puzzles (ok I like those too) but I love skincare lol Your routine sounds PERFECT!

[@tamikops]

I started the estriol cream recently. Is it ok to use with tretinoin? I thought it’s supposed to be used in the AM.

[@TinamariePappas]

@@tamikops The estriol creams typically contain some moisturizing ingredients so using them after tretinoin works well. They are not contraindicated and for most individuals there is no irritation from estriol.

I am not using growth factors right now- for no reason at all actually. I love the ultimate serum but I decided to redo my routine and left it out this go-round. It is still my favorite GF product- for multiple reasons (affordability, formulation etc) 💙

[@jerrytrouble]

When I first found you sometime in late 2023 I spent over $2200.00 the Ziip the Omni Lux and dozens of products. Some I love and still use some were thrown out after a few tries. I however have learned that you sell what making you happy for what ever reason. It didn’t break my budget I still follow you diligently and bought a few things you recommended from the late Amazon sale. I am liking what I purchased so far and highly recommend you and sent several friends to your Videos. However I don’t believe the average woman or man has the amount of cash or time for all of these products , perhaps you could post a video for those less fortunate like my young niece’s or their friends, or a couple of my friends who think you’re so beautiful and want the same look. I appreciate your investigative strategies on products this is why I try them. Thank you and I hope you understand what I mean.

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

I do understand what you mean 💙 I do videos on budget skincare too, maybe you’ve missed those. I’ve never really talked about omnilux so maybe you are thinking of someone else on that one. I LOVE ziip, I use it regularly for years now. Would it help if I linked you to some of the budget skincare videos? I also have a playlist on affordable alternatives so that people can see that there are valuable products at all price points. 😊

[@reneesoli5345]

Have you ever watched Dr. Dray? She is a dermatologist and goes to stores and read the ingredient list and tells the viewers if the product is good or not and why it's good or bad.

[@heathersargent289]

Dont just toss ur products that ur not happy with on your face try them on your body skin before you decide to trash them . That's what I learned to do and found a lot I really liked on the body and their for it wasn't wasted and some I even repurchased just for the purpose of body . How do you like the Zipp? Im really thinking about purchasing it, I have been doing some research and watching other people's videos on it as well .

[@AthenaBethBlack]

@@heathersargent289I agree- don’t toss them! Consistently is key to all of them. Find a routine (I recommend a schedule on paper or digitally) and continue using them regularly. There’s no magical device or ointment, especially if not used consistently, but all of these things do work together to slow down the appearance of aging. I also have spent above my means on various devices, but I budget for them. And I remember that the time will be passing whether or not I use these devices. Anything I do to slow its appearance is a win.

[@dianewilson588]

@@heathersargent289The ZIIP really does make your skin look amazing! I have had it for a few years now. I used it sporadically at first but once I started using it a few times a week, my skin looks so much better! I use red light and do micro needling as well. Recently I got an IPL treatment. The number of spots it removed was incredible! I can’t wait to go for more. I also love ematrix treatments. Two or three a year to build up your collagen. But always follow Penny! I have learned so much from her!! ❤

🌞 For my morning care routine I tend to line up all the products I want to use that morning and go for it. Around my eye area needs to have the extra TLC. If I am in a rush I will use just a moisturer and SPF, but I still do all my layers around my under eye area...but it's such a tiny amount and I can do it all pretty quick. 💞

I bought some of the Tirtir SOS Serum. I have tried it multiple times on my face and neck and within a couple hours of putting it on, I look like I fell in a vat of butter. I'm going to try using it on my arms and other places I think need hydration and see if I can wear it like that. I do want to share that I bought some of Dr. Brenner Triple Lipid Restore and have been using that as the final step in my PM routine and I am totally loving it.

Emily, I do look different than 4 years ago. I did have a face and neck lift and upper bleph, there’s an entire video on it here on this channel. I have not touched my nose and did not have buccal fat pad removal. I never tell people to buy SKIN products to get a chiseled nose or cheeks … i share all the things I do. The recovery, the process, the results. This time, I lost weight. A decent amount of weight. Yep, it changed my face. If it was surgery I would say so. I’m not ashamed of surgery, I think it’s just another tool in the toolkit. So even though you think you’re being smart, you are really just being a jerk.

[@Chris-hr3fc]

Have you tried an estriol face cream? I follow Dr. Haver and use the same. But I’m not really sure how to include it in my skin routine. I’m also having some acne around my chin and mouth, seems hormonal, though could be a Paula’s Choice sunscreen I bought, need to do a process of elimination. I’m wondering if estriol cream can cause acne, what I can combine it with and when to best use it? Another question no one seems to be able to answer, without a wink and a nod, is can we use v-cream (estradiol) cream on the face skin? We can use it on our v-skin but obviously that is different. It’s stronger than estriol but is the vehicle (ingredients) that the estradiol is mixed in, pore clogging?

[@CherylBerryl]

I have heard that you can use it on your face. But right now I cannot remember who/where I heard that from.

[@hotrod66ify]

From my understanding the estriol creams can be absorbed through your facial skin whereas the estradiol is uterine absorbed. Which would mean no it would do you no good on your face.

[@ninalord7669]

I appreciate your channel so much. Thank you. I have one question. I work out in the mornings, too. I apply all of my skincare products before a workout, but I'm curious whether sweating diminishes the effectiveness of the products. On the other hand, if I work out before I apply all of my skincare and sunscreen, I am concerned that I am exposing my skin to sun damage; even though I work out at home, light is coming through the windows. I can just put on sunscreen, work out, and then wash off the sunscreen and do all the work all over again, but multiple washings strip my skin out. I have very fair skin and rosacea, which worsens after a workout. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. ❤

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

So I have faced this dilemma myself! So when I have to choose I’ll use SPF, workout, wash my face and start my skincare fresh. I hope this helps! 💙💙

Hi Pen, I am watching your videos on and off and you look amazing and definitely much more younger than your age (10 years at least).🙂 To be such a diligent person with the way you take care of your skin it’s a huge commitment and I really admire your dedication and determination. I love skincare (that’s why I am here 😁) and I am trying hard to not skip morning and evening routine but it’s not easy. Recently I started to use copper tripeptide and ectoin serum (Allies of Skin) and I love it. They have a growth factor serum which is very good as well (I don’t know the source of growth factor). Also I use Lotion P50 (phenol free because only this one is available in Australia) and the chemical exfoliant from Drunk Elephant (AHA/BHA serum) - I rotate them. I use all of them because I don’t tolerate retinol. Do you think I need both serums (copper tripeptide and growth factor) or they do the same thing? Thanks for sharing invaluable information for people who are willing to learn!💕

Hey Penny, I was wondering why you stopped using the DRMTLGY Needless Serum, & switched to the COSRX instead? I bought & have an auto ship for the Needless serum based on your high recommendation, so just wanted to know what made you switch. Also, besides me using the needless serum, I also have several bottles I bought (on sale) of the Biossance Copper peptide serum, & was wondering if I can use that layered along with the Needless Serum, or is that overkill? And if overkill, what kind of schedule do you recommend that I should do as far as alternating them? Thanks Penny.

[@melissastanton2789]

I love how honest you are and how you take care of affordable skincare too, but one question - do led lights help with hyper pigmentation and would that smaller device help with that (I saw a discount on UFO)? Thank you!!

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

The sad truth is LED can improve hyperpigmentation or make it worse….and it’s hard to know which until you try it. I think if it’s *at all possible* get an in-office led treatment and assess your skin before investing in a mask or panel… that will help answer that question for you 💙

[@Efeatherly]

I am an avid follower, usually behind the scenes. As a side note, I love your hair just below shoulder length. It brings the eye up to your incredible eyes. Thank you for sharing, guiding and leading the way! You seem to grow more beautiful. It is so motivating. I have a burning question I wasn't sure where to ask. As a fan of Reviv Ultimate Serum, do you use it immediately after medical needling? I ask because it has other ingredients, such as peptides. ??

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

So the technical answer is NO for right after microneeding. Have I used it personally right after? YES. But it’s important to know the risks of using anything other than hyaluronic acid immediately after (namely granulomas). That said, obviously there are massive potential benefits of getting those great ingredients in to the skin. You just have to weigh the potential risks for yourself 💙

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

Oh and thank you so much for your kindness!!

[@Efeatherly]

Are products that are just growth factors (like Neo Genesis Growth Factor Recovery Serum) a better choice?​@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE

[@CherylBerryl]

​@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE So you should micro needle on dry skin w/out ANY "slip"? And then put the hyaluronic acid on afterwards? And if you want to use a Growth serum, then how long should you wait to apply that )after micro needling/hyaluronic acid)? Thanks Penny.

At night! I’m posting my PM routine tomorrow (Saturday) morning, I share exactly when in that video 💙

[@DianaD-dv9tp]

Thank you Penn! As always, great info! Do you have any mineral SPF recommendations? I will not use chemical SPF and always on a lookout for good physical SPF recommendations. Thank you!

[@shannamccurley187]

Penn, as always, you deliver a plethora of helpful information in such a graceful way! I'm going to invest in some DNA repair products, and I appreciate the discounts available. One question: Would you do a travel video for us? Obviously, we all have different versions of skincare, but it would be helpful to know what containers you travel with. What you carry on vs pack. I know you have said in the past that you travel with your ZIPP and your Higher Dose mask. Do you have their PEMF mat? If so do you travel with that? Thanks again!! 😘

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

I do have the PEMF go (smaller version) but no, I don’t take it on trips (I’ve thought of it….but I think ultimately I wouldn’t use it as much as I think I would and I’d be carting around lol). Some of my travel containers are most unsexy….like little Tupperware for my body cream 😂 I’m getting ready to go on a trip, I’ll record what I pack etc! 💙

Would you do a zoom consultation? I’d really love to pay you to customize a routine specifically for me. I kind of buy almost everything you recommend 😂- but maybe some of it’s not necessary.

[@MYTKA82]

Penn I have a question, I hope you can help me. From Monday to Thursday I use my vitamin C in the morning and my retinol at night and on Friday I use slurp decalt exfoliant, on Saturday I use paulas choice 6% mandelic + 2% lactic and on Sunday I use dr dennis gross alpha beta daily peel for sensitive skin my question is if with the routine I have I can add biologique's P50 lotion in the mornings? And if I can use the P50 lotion with my vitamin C…. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

Hi! Ok so I think if you added p50 in the AM (which would be fine before your C) you may not need the Paula’s choice (you wouldn’t need it) or the DDG. I’m not familiar with the slurp but I’m guessing you wouldn’t need that either. So if I were you I’d finish those before getting P50 or plan to set them aside for the most part. 💙

Hi Penny! Are you still using a growth factor and Vitamin C serum? Love this video!! ❤ You look fabulous 😍 Have a blessed Sunday!!! ☀️🌈💛

[@CherylE6119]

Excited for the fall peels with you! I'm doing mandelic on my face now but will switch to TCA this winter. 😊 I'm interested in the Prequel brand. Any vitamin C you use? I'm using Regenerate from Platinum in the evening. Is it better to use in a.m. or good to use in p.m. It's a growth factor. How is that different from DNA repair?

[@jeannek5448]

Do you know anything about the medicube pro? Supposed to be 6 in 1 device. I’m to get a treatment this coming Saturday. Also lexli line. It’s ale Vera based Thanks so much for the video

[@elinageorgova538]

Hi Penny, can you advise on how to use AHA toner for someone that uses Tretinoin.

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

Well, I like to use my AHA toner in the morning (tret/retinoid at night). I feel like it’s better to not stack actives (irritation wise). Some people love to combine them (layer them) but I feel like that’s asking for irritation and barrier issues 🤷‍♀️

[@cristinakadonsky539]

I now have Bosie Cosa RX and the peptide squad do I use both of them together or maybe one day one and one day the next are they about the same type of thing?

[@TammyCondren]

I ❤❤❤ the Rajani Age Defense as well! I have one European tinted sunscreen that I sometimes use but I prefer the Rajani Age Defense😂

Which euro tinted do you like? I picked up several over this summer while in Europe…I just love their filters so much.

Thanks for another great video, Penn! Do you have any options for the Photozyme Omega 36 Body? I would use that up in a week lol.

Let me look! You’d be surprised though- I use a blob (that’s a technical term fyi) like 1/3 the size of a golf ball every day and it goes a long way. But I will search….its pretty unique product although I’ve never tried to find an alternative so there may be one! 💙

[@aprilblossoms4]

Penny, you probably don’t need it but a couple of travel tips that might help others as well. 1. Always divide whatever precious stuff you buy/carry across all the bags you are checking in. This way, if anything gets lost or misplaced then you won’t lose out on everything you bought. I even do this my underwear and socks. Got this tip from my husband who is an expert packer. 2. Invest in those apple tracker tags. They are awesome and give us a lot of peace of mind. 3. Avoid BA! I don’t know why but we and everyone we know have had terrible service with BA and also Virgin Atlantic. Cancellations where we don’t even get an email or notification which has left us scurrying around to find another flight etc and delays where we have missed fIights . I expect better for my money.

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

Thank you! I usually do divide and conquer but this time I wasn’t as smart! I can’t avoid BA 😭 They are the only airline that flies direct from Portland to London - and because I go to London a lot I am in their program so there are perks. Essentially they’ve got me! Lol

[@DK-sc4hb]

Hello! Can you recommend another DNA enzyme repair product that is more budget friendly 😬

[@GraceTorres-Maloney-gy7st]

Thank you so much for the video. Question about the P50V lotion- can I use that in the morning? I thought it was night only 😔 also, does the strong smell bothers you ? I just started to use it and I wasn’t sure if the strong smell was normal 😮.

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

You can definitely use it in the morning 😊 I’m guessing you have the 1970 version- that has phenol and phenol has a strong smell. I personally love that version as phenol is another exfoliant (very effective) and while it smells strong it is actually not anywhere near as strong as phenol peels (obviously). Phenol peels (look them up, truly mind boggling) are like a Time Machine for the face 😳🤯 Obviously we can’t do that at home but to have just a bit of it in the toner is something I personally love. Some people don’t love it, and if that’s you- there are several other versions of p50 without phenol, and without that smell 💙💙

[@GraceTorres-Maloney-gy7st]

@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE you use the version with phenol? Did you get used to the smell?

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

@@GraceTorres-Maloney-gy7st I use the version with the phenol (the 1970 indicates phenol) and yes, I’m used to the scent. But I totally get why you wouldn’t like it! 💙

Hi Penny, thank you for your recommendations. I have the same age and issues as you. I have very very dry under eye I think is because the menopause . I try many many eye creams and I didn’t find one. Can you recommend anyone ? 🙏

[@iwillstom]

When layering thinnest to thickest, what about products that say to apply to a bare face as the first step? I’m pretty sure I have several like that.

[@chiaramitchell9726]

In regards to the cysteamine, do you apply a thin layer to dry skin all over face or just on the areas that one has sun damage? Can you use it near the eyes? Thanks

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

It’s a thin layer all over, although you could do more “spot” treatment if the area is clearly identifiable. My pigment is everywhere so I treat everywhere 💙 I do go up above the ocular bone but not too close to the eye. I have dark circles that are sun damage/brown pigment that I want to treat so I like putting cysteamine there. If there wasn’t pigment there I would avoid that area. Some people may find that irritating so it’s definitely individual. If it irritates it’s not worth doing under the eyes. 😊

[@WhitneyHelget]

when do you use the Revivserum and are you still using the estrogen cream?

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

I’m not using Revivserum right now (which is actually crazy). I simplified my routine to fit other things in. I’m sure it’ll be back…it’s a long time fave. If I did add it it would be either right before or after DNA repair (Photozyme). I am not using the estrogen cream. What I discovered there is because I’m not in menopause yet my skin is less likely to see big benefits (if you are not estrogen deficient in the skin then estrogen cream will do nothing). When I hit menopause I will be back to it 100% and I’m so thankful it exists!

[@jsomox]

@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE Oh wow! That is great information. I've been eyeballing Estriol cream a lot lately. Even looking into finding a MSCP (Menopause Society Certified Practitioner). But I am not in menopause either. I'm so glad I continued reading all the way down this page. Now I can focus on other skincare products. Thank you!

[@sfkat]

Great video!, do you think the Platinum Face Bright helps to fade existing brown spots, or does it work more as a preventative product? If you haven't tried the Dr. Ceuracle Kombucha tea essence, it's incredible. So moisturizing. If I put a few layers and sit with saran wrap over your face for 20 minutes, you skin will feel incredible. Always looking to try new products, but I missed this so much I re-ordered it. I think you'd love it.

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

Yes the fade bright will help fade existing BUT (in my opinion) it needs the help of retinoids (to expedite turn over and also suppress melanin) and acids to lift off surface pigment. That three prong approach will fade existing spots 💙💙 I LOVE the Dr Ceuracle essence!! I went through an entire bottle and then got side tracked (for a couple years!!). I will have to order another bottle when I get through some of this good stuff 😅 Thanks for the reminder!
