Skincare that actually works according to customers! AI ranks the 10 most popular products of 2023

[@thegreaterconundrum]

Fair warning, the "gentle" cleanser from Youth to the People is actually a pretty harsh foaming cleanser. I see it as more of a product for oily-prone skin, and I wouldn't recommend if you have dry or sensitive skin. This has been talked about by a lot of people and I experienced a similar reaction to it! But it is definitely super hyped lol

Interesting - thanks for sharing this.

Happy Holidays and thank you for all your HONEST content....a breathe of fresh air😊

Very interesting video! This is why I watch Claire, it’s not just a video like everyone is making. Cheers!!!

[@privatetatum]

What a creative video! I’ll have to assess my opinions on those. Happy Holidays!

[@rajanimdskincare]

Wonderful information as always Claire!!

[@thehonestchannel]

That means a lot coming from you! Big fan of your channel ❤️

[@cindysmallwood2695]

Merry Christmas Clare. Thank you for all you do and wishing you much continued success in the coming year.

[@thehonestchannel]

Merry Christmas Cindy. Thank you for your support and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy 2024 ❤️

[@connietank2568]

Thanks! Clare and Happy New Year. A very enlightening round up of products. I have found it is SO important to watch those catchy phrases like " lessens the appearance of" or "improves the looks of" none of which mean they REMOVE wrinkles etc , etc. Keep up the great work you do.

[@thehonestchannel]

Great point! Happy New Year ❤️

[@valentina-pg4bj]

MERRY CHRISTMAS, Clare, I truly enjoy watching your podcasts & learn so much from you! And don't you worry, AI has nothing on you!! You're the BEST!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@thehonestchannel]

Thank YOU Valentina! I appreciate the support ❤️

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Clare the COXRX Snail Mucin is one of my holy grail products 😂

[@susannjarvis5587]

What an interesting concept and a fascinating list. I was pleased to see two of my favorites ranked at the top. I love the Elemis cleansing balm and Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Cream is a holy grail. Thank you for putting AI to such a fun test.

[@PsychicKathleen]

Viewing the "best products" according to AI encourages me to believe that you shouldn't worry at all about getting replaced with AI. There are SO many better products on the market on all the categories - less expensive, more gentle yet effective. Thanks for another great video!

[@FIONA21ful]

Snail mucin has been my go to for years now, it works for everything skin. I use it to moisturising under, & to slug over, my retinoids & my other active treatments like high dose Vit C or Copper peptides flash night treatment. Its a wonder essence for slugging on top to keep the product from oxidising & to keep it working underneath for longer. i also reach for it as a conductive serum for gua sha or for use with red light mask. I am sure it would work with any of the other facial devices that use a water based serum just as well. I love the Cos rx Mucin of course, and I also use their Ultimate nourishing Rice overnight spa mask. Its great stuff leaves skin plumped, smooth and polished in the morning.

[@user-kc3lv3vx6g]

Great video!!! I like CeraVe in general, gran brand, I have used the CosRx snail mucin and liked it very much,haven’t used the rest of the products. Happy Holidays!!!

[@thehonestchannel]

Happy holidays! ❤️

[@vetsai8199]

CERAVE is no longer cruelty free, since deciding to sell their products in China (which demands testing on animals). Even most influencers think Charlotte Tillbury’s mail moisturizing cream is too expensive and does nothing. Youth to the People’s Kale cleanser is very irritating, unless one’s skin is very oily. I actually used to use it to clean my stallion’s sheath to prevent urinary infections-until a veterinarian told me that Dawn Dish Liquid was just as good and much, much less expensive!

I love my Biossance Squalene and Omega Repair Cream and I'm a tough critic. My skin just drinks it up and there's no stickiness or tackiness afterwards.

[@CherylBerryl]

YEEESSSS!!!! I am a Biossance LOVER as well! I Love their "clean" products! And the Omega Repair Cream is what Hooked me! I just bought their newest product drop, The Squalane & Ectoin Repair Cream, & it's AWESOME!!! If you haven't yet tried the Squalane & Vitamin-C Rose Oil, you MUST give it a try, it's Amazing!! I have tried just about everything in their line and I love it all!!

[@natalienetanya7401]

@@CherylBerrylhave you tried their Squalene and Lactic Acid Resurfacing Night Serum? It's so effective, gentle, and it doesn't breakout my sensitive skin.

[@CherylBerryl]

​@@natalienetanya7401 Yes! the Squalane & lactic acid serum is also Fantastic! So far I haven't found anything that I haven't liked in the line. And I especially like it because it's Cruelty Free, "Clean", and gives back to REAL environmental causes.

Most popular does not mean the best! The most popular products are often those with the most extensive and expensive marketing strategy.

[@reasonableification]

Very interesting approach. It’s interesting to see how much is known about us by our consumer purchasing habits.

[@radiandrea]

I loved this video. I will try some of the products.

[@margaretskincareexpert]

Hi Clare, I will watch this video when I have more time! Good idea using AI, I can't wait!

Great info - have you tried any of Trinny London skin care products - love them - would love you to do an interview with Trinny - she has been on a lifelong skin journey and I really trust and love her skin care products.

[@thehonestchannel]

I would love to interview Trinny! Not sure she’d think I have a big enough platform yet but it grows every day 🥰 I haven’t tried her products either but I know particularly the make-up is really popular

[@jasbegs1258]

@@thehonestchannel I'd love that and I highly recommend you preview some of her skincare products. Loving your channel 😍

[@LizK6457]

This was a very interesting video. I don’t think I am familiar with numbers eight and seven. I don’t do much social media so I have a feeling these must be hot on TikTok, etc. The others I am familiar with and I use several of them. I am going to give the cleansing balm a try. Thank you, Claire. Your videos are always fun and informative. Happy New Year!

[@thehonestchannel]

Glad you enjoyed it - and a very happy new year to you! ❤️

[@CherylBerryl]

I am surprised that on the list of criteria that there wasn't Cruelty Free as one of them. This is Extremely important to Many women, and I am honestly pretty surprised that too many beauty vloggers also don't give this much consideration to it either. The ONLY beauty vlogger that I know of that will not use, nor review a Non-Cruelty Free product is Elle Leary (who by the way, hasn't been posting much these day's because her young daughter is going through a cancer crisis right now, sadly, & unfortunately.) If Everyone was made to watch a video on the HORRENDOUSLY CRUEL practice involving animal testing, I highly doubt it wouldn't tug on the conscience of Everyone! There are So Many people, (beauty vloggers included) that have cats & dogs, & they ultimately "video bomb" their recordings, (which I LOVE!) No-one would want that kind of harm to come to their own beloved kitty or doggie, so Why wouldn't they feel the same way about a sweet & innocent bunny rabbit! They Feel pain & suffering too!!! People NEED to think about this! My wish is that EVERY beauty vlogger would come together & demand (by way of boycotting) Every product that has been tested on animals. Beauty Vloggers Have the power to do this! Brands now very much rely on popular beauty vloggers for reviews (positive one's obviously) and they can literally make or break a product of their brand if enough of them think the product being reviewed gets a big 👎. Sorry, I don't mean to rant, but as a life long animal rescuer & animal welfare activist, I feel it is my duty to take any opportunity that I can in order to open the eyes of the massess to thr Truth about the Not so beautiful side of the beauty industry. If anyone got this far reading all of this and agrees with me, please spread the word! Beauty Shouldn't have to HURT an innocent being!

[@thehonestchannel]

Thanks for sharing this. A lot of people have raised animal testing in relation to this list. I’ll try to find an expert in the new year to explain to me and the wider audience how we can establish which brands are truly animal cruelty free.

[@deborah972]

Hi lovely vlog skincare routine wishing you a very happy christmas 🎉 😊 xx

Oh, and Merry Christmas!

[@seascape185]

Thank you ,interesting but one reason people like you have a job is because I think we all like the personal touch that you actually try these products ! Don’t think you will be out of work anytime soon .😂

[@jillpotts7472]

i triedcharlotte tilburys magic cream and didn't love it, especially for the price.

[@thehonestchannel]

I’ve never tried it so that’s good to know.

[@primordialmeow7249]

Snail mucin does nothing for me. Much better for my skin is Skin Food Propolis serum or the little known Pyunkang Balancing Gel.

[@Adhara740]

I Personally don’t see the benefit of snail … I don’t get it

[@thehonestchannel]

I don’t get the attraction either.

[@noname-nu6oo]

Not by alone by itself you won't see much benefit.

[@onlyscience28]

Same here, it's done nothing for my skin. I tried it in different combinations, on damp skin, dry skin, under serum, on top of serum, under moisturizer. Still no difference

[@WhatsEvenRealAnymore]

Snail mucin did absolutely zero for my skin. And I went through 2 bottles.

[@FIONA21ful]

Verseds Photos please Tightening Brightening mask is so very good. 🎉

[@ginar51]

I don’t like Cerave and the snail mucin does nothing for me. AI doesn’t even pronounce the word Mucin right.

[@thehonestchannel]

Maybe it won’t replace us as soon as we feared then 😉

[@CherylBerryl]

​​@@thehonestchannel I don't think you have to worry about that happening Claire. I think most women want a Real live woman using & reviewing skincare, makeup, & beauty devices. May I kindly request that you read my comment that I posted in regards to beauty products and animal cruelty in testing of said products? I would greatly like to hear your take on the subject. Please, & Thank you. I hope you & your family had a wonderful Christmas, & may you have a Great year ahead! I very much appreciate you & your channel! 🤗

[@Tigerguisippe65]

Agree always try your best to use cruelty free

[@jillpotts7472]

very cool

[@Gerli-rq3vc]

Surprising to see that all products on the list as high priced items. I just doubt that those are the most popular purchases/recommendations.

[@thehonestchannel]

They are not all high priced. The Ordinary and CeraVe are budget ranges.

[@3mcanter]

It would be nice to see the top 10 cruelty free products

[@thehonestchannel]

I could take a look at that.

[@emilyteacher236]

I believe mucin is pronounced as [MYOO] + [SIN], Clare! An interesting video, already tired of 'the best of' series!!

[@thehonestchannel]

I’m a frequent mispronunciation offender so thanks for this! I’ll remember for next time.

[@khopkins195]

Sadly, Elemis is not cruelty free so it's a no from me!
