SUPERB SKINCARE UNDER £15 | drugstore skincare | over 40 skincare

[@virginiaholliday6952]

Yes, more please. You do such a good job on these types of videos. I'd like to hear more from the ordinary too. Thank you sweetheart.

[@francineg9589]

Please continue this series. I really enjoy your in depth skin care product reviews and appreciate your knowledge of skin care and skin conditions as well.

[@nurdjanhussein6674]

Thank you for keeping this real. There are so many videos by specialists/ make up artists who sound patronising with expensive products which are difficult to purchase and maintain. I am sure we are all looking for good value for money and building the trust with a person makes it so much easier in buying products they recommend. I enjoy your honesty and balanced view. Can I ask for a review of No 7 products as a suggestion as I have been using this brand for over 30 years and would love to know how it compares with similar priced products. Thank you.

[@doraj7917]

I'm super proud of my affordable skincare routine. Took me a while to find the right products for my skin that are also affordable, but I did it! I use brands such as The Ordinary, Inkey List, Eucerin, Cerave, and my latest find is the SUPER affordable SPF from Altruist. 200ml for not even 6€. I mean come on! And thanks for that retinal recommendation! I can buy it here in Croatia, but I never noticed it before. The price is really affordable. I'll def give it a try.

[@elisamartinez2713]

I really love this type of video. This was so spot on for me! I have been trying to find my way through the skincare maze and find myself overwhelmed. I’m in my mid 40s and really seeing changes in my skin and it’s so hard to know what will work and what’s just marketing rubbish without draining my pocketbook! Thank you for being our guinea pig!

[@leximorris9000]

I feel exactly the same as you 45 and have no clue where I should start or even what I need to use. It gets complicated trying to figure out what ingredients do what job and also if the same ingredients can be used in multiple products. Such a minefield getting in the right path, but I'm currently failing miserably.

[@kathleenhorn792]

Thanks for this video and your knowledge.Started using The Ordinary products because of your recommendations.Would love an updated video😊

[@janeysjourney9531]

Hi Gemma - I love your skin care videos you really do explain everything so well. I’m 55 and would love an updated Ordinary vid. I was going to get prescription tretinoin and would love to know exactly the names of what I should start with in the Ordinary prior to prescription products and how long to use each product. Thank you and love all your content

[@pegwilson5801]

I would love for you to continue this as a series! It's such a gift to lower my costs. I have been using ELF's Holy Hydration and have all my friends using. It is amazing and so reasonably priced.

[@sherribenson1]

I have started using Vincy89 and I am loving the hydration. That along with using the CurrentBody device I have stopped wearing foundation everyday.

[@autumnwishes8364]

Yes! An updated video on The Ordinary, please!! 😀😀

[@tarpleyk9352]

My daughter, who turns twenty in a couple weeks, loves the Cera Ve line. She and her friends love the products. I'm thankful that at her young age, she is taking good care of her skin. Thank You for bringing it up. xo

[@jasminateodorovic1248]

Of course we do. I've tried many high-end products. Switched to much more affordable ones that performed immensely better than many way too pricey. As for Geek&Gorgeous both A game 0.5 and C Glow, 15 % vitamin C. Amazing brand. Of course, took aproximately six months of using La Roche Posay's 0.3 Rendermic (retinol). All the steps and patience recommended by my longtime dermatologist.

[@prayonkreutz2398]

I LOVE Pretty Much the Entire Neutrogena Hydro Boost Line! Even the 50 SPF is so Gentle, I can use it on my face (& Not Break out!!)

[@michellej5517]

I think with the cost of living crisis hitting people more affordable alternatives for skincare and makeup would be very welcome. I’ve been using A-Game from Geek and Gorgeous for about 6 months, it’s excellent. I’ve found the cleansers from the Superdrug Me+ range to be very good. Having tried many different cleansing balms, hot cloth cleansers and oil cleansers as a first cleanse my favourite and the best for removing makeup and SPF is definitely the No7 balm cleanser in the pot and very affordable.

[@lynnewolters8411]

Yes, please turn this into a series. Show idea: how and when to introduce skin care for children moving into puberty.

[@cathymaas2406]

Your skin care knowledge was what made me a huge fan of yours all those videos ago! I’d love to see more of these. I’m a huge fan of Cerave and The Ordinary. You’ve got me very interested in the moisturizer by Elf. Thank you

[@angelachristina]

I'd absolutely love to see more of this series 🤩 I bought the Cerave oil cleanser but unfortunately it dries out my skin af. I don't know why, but with my skin I'm underwhelmed with almost every product from Cerave. But I love love love Geek and Gorgeous. Their C- glow is my ride or die number one serum. My skin just can't without it anymore.

[@aleiayue183]

An Ordinary favorites vid would be great as well as more like this one!

[@vickilachmann8927]

I like the E.L.F. superhydrate moisturizer too but moreso in the summer then in winter I love their holy hydration moisturizer because it's a but thicker for my dry dry skin lol

[@andreaparker2069]

Great episode. Please continue. My ride or dies: Acure Organic Argan Oil to protect the sensitivie spots on my neck and my eyelids before I apply tretnoin at night and before an AHA or Vit C in the a.m and Laroche-Posay Toleriane Ultra (called Dermallergo in Europe with a few more ingredients). That Byorma moisturizer looks terrific.

[@deecawford]

Ride or die from the drug store is Cereva healing ointment. I use it around my eyes and mouth (yes far away from.eyes their self) when using my tretinoin. I use a moisturizer and then the ointment and it helps keep my mouth area from getting dry and cracked and helps keep my eyes brows from the flaking skin.

[@norunnladstein4219]

Thanks for sharing ❤️ please make a skincare-serie & update us on your Ordinary favourites! 🤩

[@tammyroy9042]

I’ve become a bit of a skincare guru over the past 7 years and I’m very particular about what I spend my money on- I’m looking for active ingredients with science backed true research and you’re totally right……this doesn’t always mean a hefty price tag. I find that many of the super expensive creams are nothing more than glorified moisturizers. If I’m spending big bucks I want to see vitamin C, or vitamin A or ceramides, or glycerins or Niacinamide or hyluronic acids etc. Or I’m looking for glycolic or lactic acids or other exfoliating acids. There are so many wonderful serums on the market that are jam packed with super hero ingredients. I could go on and on - I’m obsessed lol 🙈. And for sure it’s a marathon journey. My skin looks better now at 57 thank it did at 50! When I’m out in public with my grandkids (9&15) I’m very often mistaken for their mom. Key is consistency and checking your ingredient deck 😊 There are SO many wonderful affordable options out there! Thank you so much for such a great video with some fabulous suggestions/recommendations! I’m totally here for anything skincare related! Xo 🇨🇦

[@leximorris9000]

It's amazing that videos like this are available for ppl of all ages and skincare needs. I get confused with all the names and don't know what I should be combining into a skincare routine. I'm not currently using anything other than a moisturiser but at the age of 44 I think I need to find a good skincare regime. Could I possibly find out how you knew were to start with trying products out please ? I'm clueless and I don't know what is needed to help me have better skin. I wish there was a way to maybe get a consultation to find out what my problem areas are

[@Lydskenney83]

This video was so helpful and would love to see more. I am 38 and have never really been into kink and I have taken care of my face before. I have a low budget and can't really afford things these kinda videos are a massive help

[@debbiecs1964]

When I was using The Ordinary niacinemide I was getting irritation and I didn’t like niacinemide at all. Then I found out that the higher strength niacinemide isn’t necessary and found The Glossier’s version which is the only company that made the lower strength. Now I love it and I’ve seen so much improvement in the brightness of my skin.

[@jackiedavis6398]

Yes please! I like this kind of series.

[@beckyc.5743]

More expensive products certainly have their place. Usually, I find it’s the superior formulations (think Dr. Sam’s Brightly) that will convince me to purchase if I know the ingredients work for me. More affordable skincare (especially cleansers and moisturizers) allow me to experiment with more expensive serums.

[@PamperedWolf]

I completely agree xxx

[@bethanyvautier6433]

I would love to hear your review, thoughts best and worst of the M&S skincare lines available: Pure, Formula … they are super affordable but are they worth it 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Desertmermaid52]

Yes please review the ordinary products! ❤️❤️

[@TheMartinamcgee]

Love this❤️Definitely more like this please xx

[@gillkilford1562]

I always use bioderma miceller water to remove makeup up... it's brilliant.... use cerave hydrating cleanser after.

[@Roadie247]

Yes! Absolutely keep ‘Em coming please! Love the ordinary brand. I’ve been using them for at least six years.

[@valeriehutchinson5130]

Yes please love hearing your input xx

[@gladysgarrity5721]

Hi Gemma thank you for sharing 🌹🌸🌺🌷🌼

[@samuelandjenniferwoo6306]

Yes, more reviews of the Ordinary please!

[@jenessastrickland1555]

I ADORE the Ordinary’s anhydrous salicylic acid! It is literally the only salicylic acid product I can actually use on my dry, sensitive skin.

[@ritas1433]

Yes, please continue this series And more information about The Ordinary. Thanks

[@joylewullis9538]

Thanks Gemma for another informative video. You’re the best!!! Always nice to see the affordable products that work.

[@karlaharvey2623]

Anxiously awaiting. Love our Gemma

[@silvanamaschi9384]

Yes please do continue. Thanks

[@tohellback7071]

ABSOLUTELY CONTINUE ‼️‼️

[@susanlafayette7509]

Yes!!!! Would love more! I love your recommendations and I buy pretty much everything you recommend 😀

[@angeladalton7991]

Really liked this video! Yes please on The Ordinary.

[@rosej9686]

Here in the U.S., we can order Geek & Gorgeous products directly from the company in Hungary. As far as starting out with retinoids at a weaker strength and building up, you can also start out with a stronger product and only use it once per week (buffered with a moisturizer underneath) slowly working up to nightly, as tolerated.

[@Donna-cc1kt]

You have to ask? Omg what a good skin care product does for makeup is the difference between day and night! Loved this! Thank you!

[@89abfabjan]

Yes please...more skincare. I too use the CeraVe micellar water to remove my eye makeup, them second cleanse.

[@VikkiBounds]

Glad you mentioned about the micellar water leaving a residue. When they very first came out, ppl were saying no need to rinse. I tried one & it definitely broke me out. And I'm not even oily! Lol. ATM, I'm using a cleansing balm, then another cleanser, but I really do like to follow with micellar water. But I definitely then rinse it right off. As you said too, it's excellent to remove any leftover eye makeup. I wonder sometimes if I'm overdoing the cleansing, possibly drying my face out, but tbh it feels better using it. I tend to be sensitive to some things so like to get things as clean as possible Funny too, on days I'm home I don't wear makeup. While I wash my face and/pm, when no makeup I usually just use the one cleanser. I've noticed the past few days I've been home I've actually broken out! Lol. So it appears I need all steps no matter what! 😮

[@maureenormston1687]

Totally agree about the G&G A -Game, great product and so very affordable. Their Vitamin C serum C-Glow (which is freshly made each week) is also lovely and affordable too and it only took 2 days for it to arrive from Hungary, exceptional service.

[@victoriacbee]

A great tip about the micellar water and blemishes - I did not know this!! 🤯

[@momobea2378]

My current favorite moisturizer (I have combo skin) is the LaRoche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair. Although I have an oily T-zone, I have no issues with it. I am on tretinoin. When I have slight dry patches, the Skinfix barrier+ is an overnight wonder-very rich but also doesn’t cause problems for my oily areas. As an aside, Versed has a body lotion with retinol that I adore.

[@kimnarveson5190]

I 🧡🧡🧡 this type of video! Please, do more!

[@patsleigh8284]

Please please do the Ordinary video as I love this brand - especially the serum foundation,

[@mindygooding9458]

Would LOVE more videos like this. A lot of channels really don’t focus on skin care more then saying, “I have all of my skin care on.” You are so knowledgeable and I take what you say to 💜. Oh and definitely yes on The Ordinary!!!!

[@elizabethmoore4358]

I enjoy your reviews and recommendations as I trust what you say. What reviews on spf that don’t clog your pores or leave your skin feeling tacky? Thanks Elizabeth

[@claredyj2015]

Love your skin care videos Gem! My ride or die moisturiser is Garnier Moisture Bomb day cream, its kind of discontinued but I can still get it at a few places! Ive tried lots of other moisturisers but just keep coming back to this!

[@SandiTink]

I already have the Bioma moisturizer on order. Thanks for the confirmation that it’s worth trying. I use the Simple brand Water Boost Micellar Water, but it seems to have been discontinued.

[@brookspa94]

Hey @Sandi Tinker!…😢 I’m so sad about the Simple micellar water, I also use & 💕 it! I couldn’t use the CeraVea. It burned my eyes & stung on my skin. Before using the Simple brand, I used the Bioderma (pink lid) micellar water, & it was great, but living “out in the country” I had to order it. You may wish to try the Bioderma since we can’t get the Simple brand anymore! Best wishes to you & yours!😊

[@barbaragourley565]

Do you recommend using a toner as part of your skincare routine? Thanks.

[@lizaltamirano6660]

Hello Gemma, love your channel! ❤️ Can you please tell me which lipstick you are using? It's very pretty 💄💋

[@sandywilkerson1843]

Yes Please!!! I am needing more cleanser this was so timely. For moisturizer I have used Loreal revitalize for face and the one for eyes. As minimum then I might add other skin care .

[@patriciaslater713]

Thank you Gemma brilliant video as always looking forward to next one 😊

[@margieangel]

Yes to both of your questions! More affordable skincare and makeup plus your favorites at the Ordinary.

[@karengannon5766]

Thank you for this video, very helpful and much appreciated. Would love to see more.

[@TheEneida151]

Yes, I really enjoyed it! Please continue having these videos & please do the ordinary, my favorite 😍.

[@loz1025]

More please ! Gemma any tips in placing foundation on my chin , no matter how much I apply it doesn’t seem to cover it ( used different foundations and primers ) ! I don’t have oily skin .. just normal ! ? 🤔

[@samirakaufman6004]

Yes Please! Love your skincare content Gemma! You are so knowledgeable ☺️❤️. Would Love an updated Ordinary Video😊❤️

[@tracyzhu3955]

It’s good to know one Micella water removes waterproof make up ! Most of them don’t do that! Thank you for sharing!

[@carlreddington5198]

Face theory! It's amazing!

[@gloriald444]

🦄💫Yesss this was a great Video Gemma Thank You ⚘ 🐺To the Wolfpack big Hugs to you 💖 And Blessings to all 🕊

[@shirl5518]

Thanks for this video. I think I will be buying more budget in the future, as cost of living is going up x

[@zenabraithwaite1934]

I love Elf holy hydration unscented and Le Roche Posay light moisturizer.

[@peggyboyer7967]

Yes please you are so informative

[@karenthompson4097]

Yes please. Loved this. It was very informative and helpful 👍 👏

[@VikkiBounds]

Didn't know about the CeraVe micellar water tho? Will try it next time.. ❤️ Oohh, or about the CeraVe oil!? Love cleansing oils!! Been harder to find drugstore ones. Will be looking for that ASAP. Like you, balms & oils are my favorite.

[@PamperedWolf]

This feels more like a foaming cleanser than an oil cleanser xxx

[@daniellewatson1525]

Excellent video like you said before with the economy and no sign of the wage increases as yet we love affordable skin care and brands , especially if they do the same job 🙌🥰👏love it Gemma as always fabulous and very informative x

[@debbieotoole1072]

I'm definitely going to try the Cerave foaming oil cleanser and the Elf moisturiser

[@marieimbrogno6734]

Would love if you did a video on the Ordinary Range for over 60’s

[@belterbeauty3191]

Yea more plz gem ty 💖

[@0773heidi]

Elemis is my favourite but comes with a high price tag would love to find something like Elemis but without the high price tag I’ve had some Charlotte Tilbury samples free when I’ve bought makeup and it’s so nice again would love to find something like it but more affordable x

[@annacalstone610]

I'm the same with elemis. The pro-collegen marine cream is a wonder on my skin but my god its expensive. I need it on 30% off on amazon or qvc gift sets to afford it. If anyone could find a dupe for it that would be amazing. Loving so many cheap recommendations

[@PookieK]

Yes - I would love to see more on this series. So much important information! Finding it almost impossible to find the CereVe Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser in the US 😢

[@PamperedWolf]

It's not available yet xxx

[@samhumby3992]

I love the Beauty Pie niacinamide! I'm already on my second bottle. I also use the micropeeling super drops twice a week, it leaves my skin feeling incredibly smooth the next day x

[@victoriawakefield6747]

Can you do a video of how to layer skincare, i get so confused what to put on in what order.

[@ky_typixel6473]

Loved the content this week it was so informed and I really made some serious changes after listening to u take care and thank you for all the advice 😘

[@littlevoice_11]

Affordable high UVA sunprotection please!!!

[@marianaviana1658]

Loved the vídeo. Would love an ordinary one

[@lorrainewhiting5474]

Yes please. Love all your videos 😊

[@patkern185]

Yes, please do more videos like this. Great information and you look fantastic! XXOO ❤️

[@parksbpknit]

Keep them coming!!!

[@tracytKthompson]

Can't wait!!!

[@deecawford]

If I can save money on this item then I can spend more on that item. I learned that Korean skin care often has the same ingredients such as isotree eye and serum has the same ingredient but stronger as Lancôme skin care. It helps my skin barrier especially from my tretinoin.

[@bettyfaria5071]

Yes love the ordinary. Skincare, makeup & hair.

[@lynnlaming4323]

Hi Gemma, I’m 56 yrs old and I have combination to dry skin and it’s flaky and sore at times. I wondered if you knew of a serum or cream that I could use that has all the ingredients in it such as peptides anti oxidants retinols etc that was packed all in one please thank you Lynn x

[@staciephillips6211]

Yes more of these please Gemma! By the way it sounds like your nose is stuffy. I do pray you're well! Allergies? I get a lost voice on & off w/a stuffed nose from all the spring blooms, but I love this season. I don't feel I need, in the warmer months, a heavy hydrating moisturizer. I've put in my cabinet the BP Triple Hylauronic Moisturizer for the spring/summer. I did get the Boyoma Gel-Cream as that's lighter weight & the Ordinary still w/Natural Moisturizing Fatures w/HA. I found that at Target in the states when I pulled your link up & ended up get resupply of other toiletries. Lol wow,, the Cerave Oil Cleanser sounds great along w/the Micellar Water (only on eyes since t-zone is oily). I'm going to see if these will be useful for a portion of my nightly cleanse since I'm using the SA Cerave Cleanser after. The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% is great to put a small dab, for me, on blemishes when I'm hormonal. The Tretinoin & it's brilliant! Affordable is a good thing! I will spend some more money where I feel it's worth it such as NIOD FECC & the Saccharide Mist. Revitalash is pricey too, but I use that to keep my lashes full. Not super long lashes, but I've found w/my brows too that if I stop using these 2 items, both brows & lashes will get sparse again. Must be all of the meds I'm on! Thank you for this video! Be well, blessings & all of the Wolfpack too! xx 🥰💁‍♀️✌🙏👍🇬🇧🇺🇲👏👏🐺🐺

[@staciephillips6211]

Oh yes @Pampered Wolf, I'm using the Niacinamide for now w/the Skinceuticals C E Feurulic serum in the AM. One affordable & one not! Will try the BP Niacinamide next order! Love BP! 😁 Hugs! xx 💁‍♀️🐺🙏💖

[@debbiecs1964]

Gemma, can you review Revolution’s IRL Filter foundation?

[@PamperedWolf]

Oh yes! X

[@littlevoice_11]

Anti aging body options would be good. I wish Dermatica sold giant tubs of tretinon, maybe you could request it as an influencer brand partner?

[@Brizlebird]

Loved this.. Id definitely love more… and yes, please renew The Ordinary. :)

[@jesphir]

I love your look today! This neutral /warm look is really nice! What’s on your skin/eyes?

[@sonjaforrester9255]

Yes more please..thank you! Is the foaming oil cleanser first step?

[@PamperedWolf]

You can use it for any step xxx

[@kimmailloux5620]

Yes to the video!

[@katinsrq]

I’ve been using the salicylic acid anhydrous solution since this video! I love it. My pores and sebaceous filaments have never been clearer. But I’m kind of unsure about how I should use this in my regimen? I put this in place of vitamin c but I’m wondering if they can be used together? Am I missing out?

[@littlevoice_11]

Yes please?
