I have discovered a shocker in skin care recently. I was diagnosed with psoriasis which has appeared all over my body at the end of the year last year. My dermatologist started me on HUMIRA injections in January this year. I also researched and discovered CeraVe SA for bumpy skin to be used on my body. Between the injections and the cream, the psoriasis has finally started dissipating. A month ago my face started drying out. I am 68 years old and tend to have oily skin. I have been using a very expensive skin care the past year that has definitely improved my skin but comes with small quantities per order. In a desperate moment I decided to use the CeraVe cream on my face. I expected to feel smothered. Did not happen. My skin felt so soft and smooth the next morning and with no oily residue. I have decided that I am going to explore the other CeraVe skin products in the meantime. Hopefully I can use up the rest of the expensive skincare this summer and return to CeraVe for the fall and spend a lot less money with better results! I

[@oliviakrya]

Debbie Lenoir cerave is amazing the only downside is that they are not cruelty free! But I love the hydrating facial cleanser and the moisturizing cream, I am on accutane which dries skin out to the extreme and using the cerave moisturizer my skin isn’t so dry. It works really really well better than most high end I have tried

[@KDebora]

Debbie Lenoir the Cerave Pm moisturizer is great. I love it!!

[@kellie_y]

@@oliviakrya Have you tried the Vanicream brand. Cruelty free and inexpensive. I love Vanicream to treat my ezcema.

[@joycarey]

@Debbie just wanted to let you know, that Calendula oil is a wonderful miracle oil! It is not too oily, absorbs easily into the skin, helps inflammation, psoriasis, breakouts, heals rashes-scars- itchy skin, helps smooth skin/wrinkles, burns, and is antibacterial. Great to have in a first aid kit! I have used it for many years in my skincare routine giving my skin a healthy glow. It can also be found as a cream moisturizer. Just thought I would let you and others know as it can be budget friendly and the many uses it has. It has helped my mother as well with her past shingles around her forehead, which had been aggravating for her in causing itchiness. What her doctor prescribed for her wasn't working and this made a big difference!

[@oliviakrya]

kellie yes I’ve heard dr dray talk about vanicream but I thought they weren’t cruelty free so I never bought any. I’m still finishing up my cerave because the cream in the tub lasts a lifetime and I got it before I went Cf. But I’ll definitely look into it, it seems great for sensitive skin! Thank you so much

Jess you don't even have to tell me at the beginning that these products work--I can SEE how well they work because your skin looks WONDERFUL. Wowza.

[@karennicholson4167]

I use the Rosehip Oil daily as well. My husband had some skin cancer on his forehead and had some surgery in February, and he has been using this on his 5-6" scar daily and it is almost not noticeable now.

[@anncollard1742]

Jessica I am 65 yrs young and wanted to tell you a little somethin about my Paula's choice story. I read "Don't Go To The Makeup Counter Without Me" when I was much younger and it saved me a small fortune!!! She broke down all products and "proved" what you dont or do need to spend money on based on active ingredients and doing what they say. I have mixed feelings about her having her own line but it was probably the only "choice" she had. I will be trying some of the products you mentioned and wanted to shout out Paula Begoun!!

[@midwestbadger2503]

Ah, I just turned 26 and I was telling my husband I feel like my skin needs some extra attention these days. It's not as young as it once was. This video is perfect timing! I love your videos, I don't have any older sisters and I honestly feel like when I watch your videos I am watching my older sister that I never had. Hope that doesn't sound crazy creepy but it's just the vibe I get when watching your channel. Hope you are staying well and safe, Jess!

[@mirandareinbold472]

I have been watching you for the last few years, and I have been able to tell that with your amped up spin care that your skin looks amazing. ☺️

[@MonicaMettert]

Just an FYI, I read that you shouldn’t mix peptides with acids because peptides have an alkaline ph and the acidic ph in acids essentially combine to cancel on another out. I recently implemented a new routine where I use one in the morning and one at night and it has helped a lot!

[@veehart6600]

Oops I mix my lactic acid with my peptides in the morning🤷🏻‍♀️. But I have seen nothing but good results on my skin.

[@CowGirlKat8691]

That's what Dr Dray said too

[@tlwagener9245]

Someone asked this at PC and got a different answer: "AHA is actually an excellent ingredient to use with our Peptide Booster since the different ingredients work together to promote new, healthier skin. We typically recommend to apply your products in this particular order: Cleanser, Toner, Exfoliant, Serum/Treatment, Moisturizer with SPF during the day and without SPF at night. Your AHA would be applied during the Exfoliant step, and your Peptide Booster would be applied during the Serum/Treatment step. Layering them is perfectly fine and there isn't any risk in doing so. If you have any further questions, we would love to consult with you! 1-800-831-4088, or via email at [e-mail].

[@virginiagavrielidis8330]

TL Wagener I think I might have found the article you meant. This is pretty convincing that an AHA and a peptide moisturizer are fine to be applied together. www.paulaschoice.com/expert-advice/skincare-advice/myths/the-ultimate-guide-to-ph-and-your-skin.html

[@kellyrose4172]

Virginia O'Neill I used glycolic acid and a peptide serum the other night and my skin was on fire, red and angry so I’m not sure if everyone can use them together. In my research some say yes they can be used together and some say no bc of the ph levels of aha and peptides can potentially irritate the skin. It did for me so I’d say be careful and listen to your skin!

The Shea Moisture pressed serum works even better when you pick up the correct product and don't try to apply the Shea Moisture pressed hair serum to you face 😂🤦‍♀️

[@margaretwiltrout8738]

I absolutely love watching your videos and have told you this many times. I love that you give us different choices at a lower point. As much as I would love to purchase the more expensive ones it's not always an option for me. I am 46 years old and hav3 dry skin I definitely need these videos. This is the second time I have watched this video. I watch all your videos and came across one of your older ones that had your am/pm drugstore skin care and then I watched this one again to write them all down. I have some of these products already from your suggestions and I totally agree with your opinion. You have never steered me the wrong way. I live in Pittsburgh Pa and right now it's so cold here which means my skin is even dryer so having videos like these ones just really help. Even tho hounding him into moisturizer in this one what's under them really counts.

[@debbiegiangrandi4672]

And...... watching the grass grow. I was laughing so hard. What a great sense of humor.

[@megannogan834]

I bought the Shea moisture pressed serum because you mentioned it but I’m oily and at first I hated it. However I’m the type of person who hates throwing things away so I kept using it to try and get some more bang for my buck, but less frequently, every other day only at night, and I swear nothing has been better for my dehydrated skin! I now love it!

[@happilybre5322]

It's because of you that I'm going to try Maelove when my drunk elephant vitamin c serum runs out. ♥️ That stuff is SO expensive and I know I can trust you about the Maelove one.

FINALLY! I've been admiring your skin lately!

[@needsacrown598]

I am 46 so I needed a bit more help on the anti-aging front. So I am using Curology. I have a solid routine and just kinda mix brands in and out. I like to use a snail mucin serum after my spray on essence in the am followed by a vitamin c serum. Then I use a lightweight soothing gel as a moisturizer. Then I use some kind of spf. Koreans Japanese spf work much better for my sensitive skin then anything we get in the us. At night I use b5 and co q 10 serums. Followed by rose hip seed oil. Then I use my Curology. If I am dry feeling I use that Shea moisture serum you use. I love timeless serums. But most of my stuff is from YesStyle.

[@newcamomile]

Is that the Cosrx snail mucin serum? That stuff is amazing. I just ordered the Purito snail serum and am excited to try it. Korean and Japanese sunscreens are so great - summers in Korea and Japan are very humid, so their sunscreens are made to work better in humid conditions and not get greasy or sweaty.

[@niavass]

Love the Maelove The Glow Maker Antioxidant Serum, too! I find the Glow Maker actually gives really does what it is called and gives me a glow! Vitamin C serums are always compared to Skinceuticals CE Ferulic, which is considered the best. However, it is soooo expensive and never gave me a glow. Thanks for all your videos.

[@RalphAnthonyCBasco]

Definitely Maelove Glow Maker...even performance-wise it’s better than Skinceuticals CE Ferulic

[@aliciawigren3170]

I love that someone who is more of a make up influencer, is talking about skincare! Make up is amazing, but the actual health of your skin is so important! You should really check out Skincare By Hyram! He’s a skincare specialist and is so informative, and so entertaining to watch! His presence on KZbin is really wonderful, as is your’s!

[@briggie27]

Another great page is Penn Smith Skincare! She is soooo informative

[@newcamomile]

Hyram has no credentials or qualifications - he's not an expert and I think it's misleading for him to call himself a specialist when he has no actual professional experience in skincare. This is nothing personal against him, but he's an enthusiastic amateur and shouldn't call himself an expert when he's not. Skincare Addiction has found that some of his advice is actually incorrect.

[@catnip4587]

Anybody on U tube can call themselves an expert

[@hayleyalena5556]

Yeah, he’s not a specialist...

[@mistyheath304]

Hands down favorite skincare product is Josie Maran pure argan oil. It has totally changed the tone, texture and look of my skin. Love it!

[@newcamomile]

Argan oil is great but Josie Maran is super overpriced - it's literally just argan oil without any special additives. The Ordinary does the exact same thing for under $10.

[@SaucyGalMakeup]

I just ordered the 2% Paula's Choice in the black bottle yesterday bc of an advertisement. $23.00 and free shipping!! Plus Ole Henrickson is offering 2 free products today with a $25 purchase! Happy Mother's day Jessica! ❤

[@kristinf8047]

I love the tlc from drunk elephant but I actually switched it out for the farmacy honeymoon glow and I think I like that better and it’s about $30 cheaper it’s sooooooo good!!! I’ve seen such a difference!!

[@amandachristopher126]

Kristin F have you noticed any huge differences in the two?

[@kristinf8047]

Amanda Christopher I’ve noticed a difference with both of them and they are both really good, I’m on my second bottle of the honeymoon glow and can see myself just repurchasing that because I get the same results and I think even better. And it’s cheaper. It’s just really good. It has a slight tingle when you first apply it but doesn’t hurt at all. The TLC isn’t sooo much better that I can justify spending the extra money when the honeymoon glow does just as well and I think may be even a little better. 😊 hope that helps!

[@sahirarodriguez9782]

Im on my second bottle of the Farmacy Honeyglow also and its my holy grail. Ive used both and you’re right. For a cheaper price you basically get the same results.

[@jobowley6855]

Kristin F I love the Honeymoon Glow. I have recently started using it but the difference it makes to your skin is noticeable after the first use👍

[@Kasiabobasia]

I’m also turning 31 this year and such a skincare junky. My biggest regret was tanning so much and not using SPF when I was younger. Things have changed so much over the years! We used to use tanning beds, rough physical exfoliants (St. Ives Apricot scrub anyone? 🙈), astringent toners to BURN off zits... things that are now considered skincare sins haha. Younger generations have such a leg up. Skincare has come a long way and education is right at our fingertips.

[@amixeblu]

I think that's a *lot* and a *lot* to spend on skincare. I just do the basics, and I'm extremely dry. Just my Nivea blue tin as a sealant (not even 4/5 euro), and I put all my "layers", such as hyaluronic serum, vitamin C serum underneath. The most expensive is my HA (and it's pure, you guys) and that is 8.99 euro from my local Aldi. It works for me. I get all my skincare at Aldi & Lidl. In Belgium they do awesome promotions (and yes I check my ingredients).

[@mariecampbell1263]

Yes yes yes!!!!!! I have lived in the states for 10 years and American women are just obsessed with "products"

[@Sky-fz7ku]

I’ve never tried Aldi brand skincare. I’ll have to check it out! Although our doesn’t seem to carry almost any! I love the ordinary for its low price tag and no frills type products. I know and trust that I can pick up a product that has the ingredient my skin loves, and it actually contains the product vs just stating it on the packaging! It’s cheap, so I enjoy trying out new products here and there and customizing my skincare for the day depending on how it’s looking/feeling.

[@amandakesterson224]

Marleen G. do you not have problematic skin? Many dermatologists will tell you that most of the "cheaper" skincare is not formulated in a way that allows you to absorb the long term benefits. Thats not to say that your routine is bad, but there is a reason many people use multiple and sometimes expensive products. My skin will NOT tolerate most cheaper products because dimethicone clogs my pores like crazy and getting skincare without dimethicone is hard to find on cheaper products.

[@amixeblu]

@@amandakesterson224 Funny, I don't know these "many dermatologists". I only know my own and he's absolutely fine with my skincare. Dimethicone is actually a very nice ingredient, but you might not be able to tolerate it, that doesn't make it "bad" for the rest of the world.

[@RalphAnthonyCBasco]

Yes, that’s the thing I love about European skin care routines, they lean towards minimalism in terms of skin care, less susceptible to trends.

Could you do a brief tutorial on putting together videos (planning them in particular). I teach domestic violence prevention and we are now unable to directly access the girls (too much chance of confidentiality being broken with Zoom) so we are starting to turn our usually 45 minute discussion classes into 10-12 minute KZbin videos and we are struggling with not sounding like Mr Rogers (not that anything is wrong with Mr Rogers but it isnt really enticing for middle schoolers!) or being super cheesy with our one woman skits. Any advice would be amazing - I know you taught so you get the presentation to kids aspect too!

[@beautyxabbi2609]

Jess!!! I dont think you've seen my last comment about the Ole Hendrickson toner but it is SPECIFICALLY for nighttime use only. 🙏 it can damage your skin when exposed to sunlight. I hope you see this 😭❤ ofc you can use it how you like but when it comes to the strong ingredients in that toner, its very important to yield the warnings.

[@annmarie1365]

[@nicolemiller3530]

You might try the moisturizer before the SPF, SPF is supposed to be the last step in your skin care routine so it can provide a shield against the sun

[@elizabethhurtado2218]

I finally bought that Shea moisture pressed serum after hearing you mention it in many videos. I tried it tonight for first time! I am so excited to try it out!!

[@jenniferweston]

Long time favourite is definitely the Fresh Soy face cleanser. I've been using it for years, and every time I try something else, I go back to it. It's really gentle but effective at removing makeup. I also love most of Fresh's products, especially their masks and the new rose oil serum (makes my skin glowy and has lightened some redness and spots). Recently, I've become a fan of Garnier's rose micellar water as step one in my double cleanse, and Vichy's purete thermale perfecting toner (has minimal ingredients) before the rose oil serum. Derma-E acne spot treatment is good for targeted spots - if I use acids all over my skin it typically breaks out worse and gets really dry and irritated (I had a dry/combo and sensitive skin type). Hence why I don't use acid based toners or serums.

[@Lexsully]

the ordinary 100% plant-derived squalane is my fav product at the moment!! It makes my skin so supple and smooth 🙌🏼🙌🏼

People think I'm like in my early 20's but I'm 37 will be 38 in July, I been into skin care since I was 15, I have to admit there was a period of my life I didn't care for my skin and had acne. I was introduced to a product by an Esthetician friend of mine, I was using for like 7 years it was $55, but was worth every penny it did reverse signs of aging, the Vitamin E product has been reformulated to a thinner formula and pineapple scent was added. The thicker yet not tacky consistency is what made it so unique. One of my best friends an I are very sad because it is no longer available, I found one similar and very inexpensive but can't find it instore or online anymore.

[@sharonmchugh3434]

I thought you should only use the ole henriksen toner at night. Their website says use it at night...and I thought a lot of products with aha and bha should only be used at night and definitely an spf the morning after (should always wear spf but even more important with those ingredients). I'm trying to learn a bit more about my skincare to really get it down to the what works with good safe ingredients so figured I'd ask the question. Thanks

hey jess ! love this video from a fellow skincare nut, i just wanted to say that the ordinary peel is more of a dupe for the drunk elephant babyfacial rather than the TLC. i just recently came across the paula’s choice 8% AHA gel exfoliant and while i haven’t used it yet i would say it is a great start before diving into the TLC, the paula’s choice doesn’t have bha and only uses glycolic acid rather than a blend but again, i believe it would be a great start before splurging on the TLC (which btw i looooove)

My favorite morning serums: OleHenriksen Truth Serum (vitamin c, collagen) and Peach & Lily Glass Skin (peptides, hydrating). For nighttime, I love the Paula’s Choice BHA that you mentioned. I also love the Ordinary’s Niacinamide (game changer for even skin tone and pores). For AHAs, I’ll use First Aid Beauty’s Facial Radiance pads (super good!). Take care!!🥰

So I was intrigued by the SheaMoisture mask, looked pretty good, so I looked it up! I love a good and affordable, hydrating (if fragrance free), mask. Unfortunately, this mask is a little deceiving; the “benefits” you’re getting or seeing are mostly just from the hydration from all the oils, mostly vegetable, olive oil (not so great), wax, castor oil, Shea butter., etc, but most of those are great! But the honey is far down on the ingredients list, the “yogurt extract” which is supposed to be the source of the lactic acid, is even farther down, and the “vitamin C” is “ascorbyl palmitate”, not L-ascorbic acid, which is the most potent and stable form of vitamin C, other forms are not as stable and especially not in a tub where it’s exposed to air. But this seems good for its hydrating oils! Besides a couple ingredients like the olive oil and coconut oil. Be careful with claims on packaging, read the ingredients first! A lot of companies put big claims on the packaging and then put the advertised ingredient so far down on the ingredient list that you’re not really getting much of it. That happened with a Boxycharm item I received recently, I read the ingredients, rolled my eyes and gave it away to a friend. Lol 😂

[@beautybulletin6671]

Yeah, that is an unimpressive ingredient list for sure. Better for those with sensitive skin that can't take a lot of actives.

You are totally backwards on the vitamin C bit. You are correct that L ascorbic acid is the most potent form of vitamin C, but it is also the most UNstable. Light and water make it ineffective and it does not last long once exposed to the air. The vitamin C derivatives are more stable, but less potent. Look up Gothamista’s vitamin C videos, also Nadine Baggot for more detail.

[@charlotte7268]

given2dream given2dream i trusted someone on information regarding this, usually I do actual research on it and fact check it and I didn’t this time. 😂 The type of Vitamin C that is in this is a stable form, not the most stable but a stable form nonetheless. But it’s in jar packaging, that was my big gripe, so everytime you open it, you’re exposing it to air and making it less and and less effective. More info on vitamin C and the types to look out for in skincare. Good to know. Source www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3673383/#__ffn_sectitle

Your skin looks great without makeup. I bought the Ole H toner and I like it a lot! Thanks

[@rae_drizzta]

Where I live we don't get much good affordable skincare, but this past year Cerave started selling some of their products here and I love them! the hydrating cleanser is my favorite, I had no idea I was over stripping my skin before that

[@marianiklassonofficial]

Keep doing these videos! I get so much help and tips from them. I tried the paulas choice resist wrinkle defense thanks to you, and I love it!!! :D

[@AutsiticAlien007]

I actually have the opposite skin type to Jessica but I love the cervae foaming cleanser. That is my top gel cleanser ever. I have combination sensitive acne prone skin and oh boy this makes me skin feel so much better after I use it. It doesn’t feel dry or itchy and it is my favourite ever. I stopped using it for a week and I swear my skin was more red then normal.

[@rachaelerin1]

Just started this video but commenting to write that I bought The Glowmaker because of you and I’m never going back.

[@halfofmyheart3167]

Wow I use a lot of the products you mentioned in this video 🥰 All of the night time products are ones I am currently using, although I do switch out a few products from time to time.. I just find it crazy with all the products out there.. we use around 80-85% of the same ones. I love Paula’s Choice products as well! 🌸✨

[@holl25leigh]

I would love for you to post a video of how you use those products together and which you use together. It was a lot and I have no idea where to start. 😆

[@cindywannamaker5299]

I saw the pressed serum about a month ago at Target and I remembered you talking about it. So of course I bought it. Lol. Been really enjoying it! Also if you like that Drunk Elephant,try Acure Radicall Rejuvinating Night. It has the exact same ingredients plus as the Drunk Elephant! I freaking love it!! Made a huge difference. Also, I have been using Elf's Moisturizer. It has peptides in it. Use that in the morning. It's only 23 bucks!

[@rainazzz]

Bringing your skin care products down your neck and upper chest is great for anti-aging too! 💕💕

[@jodiestafford5820]

That nail color looks great on you!!

[@lisakeesler1490]

you look and sound so happy in this video!! :)

You’re Refreshing found your content about 2 hrs ago. 💕💕

I'm so glad you're talking about Rosehip Oil. I've been using it for six years and it's so incredible for scar removal and cell turnover. Miranda Kerr turned me on to this in like 2014.

[@colonelperry42n]

I tried the rosehip seed oil (a different, less expensive brand), and it worked wonders! I can't believe how much it helped in one night on pimples, rashes and scratches.

[@danielle4662]

Jess, I just bought the trilogy rose-hip oil from amazon ($20) and im so excited - thank you for your recommendations!

[@Sky-fz7ku]

The ordinary’s AHA 30% + BHA 2% has never irritated my skin, But I need to start using it regularly though, because I haven’t used it constantly enough to fall in love with it!

[@christinahughes7393]

Your skin is GLOWING so it’s obviously working for you, but generally, I think it’s best to avoid mixing peptides and direct acids or vitamin c within a routine. I change up AM/PM sometimes because if I feel like I want that chemical exfoliation in the morning, I use it and just skip the peptides I’d use. FAB radiance pads are so nice and I enjoy using them before makeup sometimes, but a couple days a week I go for the AHA/BHA exfoliation. I don’t think it hurts anything to mix them, you just may see more benefit keeping them separate ☺️

[@Sankie_sank]

I’ve had the Shea Moisture Pressed Serum for a little over a month and I’m in LOVE!! Def notice a difference on my skin. Love the way it looks and feels 🤩😍

[@arelyalvarez8605]

Love this video!!💗 would love to know your am/pm cleansers in your next video!

[@HonestlyCarolynMarie]

A really nice dupe for the Drunk Elephant TLC serum is the Farmacy Honeymoon Glow serum. It’s still pricey but not as much as Drunk Elephant. I use that serum 3 times a week and BOY my skin livens up the next morning. For sun screen, I’ve been loving the Purito Mineral Sunscreen that’s fragrance free. It’s lightweight, doesn’t feel tacky and doesn’t have a white cast! It’s on the cleaner side of skincare and I bought mine off of YesStyle.com ☺️

[@smwilliams83]

I have to have the Drunk Elephant TLC Framboos Glycolic Night Serum! It’s super expensive...but worth the price to me! I went and tried another serum but my texture was back! I didn’t realize how much it helps my skin until I went without it!
