The BEST Skincare Products of All Time

[@et1016]

I love that your doing this without make-up. You true beauty shines through! 😘

[@MarlenaStell]

Oh thank you!🥹♥️

[@sandimann3344]

I normally do not respond ,but just wanted to thank you for your content. You gave alot of options to suit everyones needs. Personally I prefer both luxury and drugstore options, like you do, so thanks ❤

[@MarlenaStell]

Thank you for such a sweet comment! I like mixing it up too. I'll aim for less expensive cleansers but spend more on serums. I tell myself it's all balance :)

[@mylenehanley4195]

Thanks for your tips! I wear makeup everyday too because of work and I agree with double cleansing. Fortunately, I have combo (oily in the-zone) so I’m not too worried about getting my skin too dry. I use the cleanser by Laroche for oily skin and it’s very gentle and non-stripping. There are some comments about the high end stuff you use, and I don’t get the negativity. There are a ton of products that are affordable out there, Marlena is just sharing her recommendations and her routine. She’s not saying copy everything she does. Let’s be kind, people! (And to all a Merry Christmas 😊)

[@MarlenaStell]

I love that La Roche Posay cleanser! And it lasts such a long time

[@robinlawson7441]

Mylene, exactly! Thank you so sharing. Xo

[@StephanieGrealis]

Couldn’t agree more! And Merry Christmas to you!

[@sovrappensiero1]

Hi Marlena! I just want to chime in to say how much I respect you!! One thing I’ve learned from years of following you is just how absurdly fickle people are, and how people (especially women) LOVE to tear others down. I worry you’re under so much stress…I could never have such a “public” job. I hope this message from one fan who thinks you’re GREAT brings you a smile today!!! ❤😊

[@rajvy04]

Loved this! Your skincare advice is always on point. Can't wait for the next video!

[@AmyLautar]

I'm so glad I came across you, Marlena! I purchased everything in your video and found that after taking the time to price search, prices were actually lower on the retailers' sites due to sales and/or discounts. You've been spot on with everything and I'm thrilled!

[@platinumdeluxe705]

I've been a longtime follower of your channel, and this video is exactly what I needed to take my skincare routine to the next level. Your recommendations are always spot-on

[@dianavo9815]

Great info!! Can you do a video on good hair care products? Esp products for those of us who are allergic to everything! Thank you for all you do. Very helpful info.

[@JaimeTravels]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I will also be 44 soon and have a good routine. But it is always good to hear new ideas! I also appreciate that it seems like you're sharing products you actually use. I know some people are upset about the cost, but you're a woman who is doing well financially. I don't expect you to only use E.L.F. or CeraVe. This is what you use and people can decide what works for them. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@HereKittyKitty24]

Helllllo Marlena!! Thank you for a new skin care video - I’m getting a little bit older (39 to 40) so really looking for actual quality skin products! Also I wanted to tell you that I’m so excited for your new adventure and so glad you’re taking us with you! Take care & no where’s to go but up!!! ♥️

[@MarlenaStell]

Aww thank you so much!!!!

[@LadyKellina]

@@MarlenaStell I do have some High End Skincare Products I got from Ipsy and Allure, I think that if you're looking for Great Quality Skincare and Makeup, by Subscribing to Ipsy or Allure is anyone's best Investment

[@karlamarinee]

I LOOOOOVE Paula’s choice. That’s all I use and I’m obsessed

[@LenaSheppard]

Thanks for sharing your favs. It's great especially knowing you've repurchased the same products. I appreciate you so much !

[@MarlenaStell]

So many of these I go back to and love them!

[@jbartrug574]

I’m 39 plus (64 years old), I ordered the Blumene Face Pro. Let’s see how it works. Thanks for the discount. Thanks for you beautiful videos.

[@bossitlive]

Yes to this skincare video.😍 As a woman who is also 40+ an intentional skincare routine is a must!🙌🏽

[@PEACHFACE24]

I turn 40 in February so this is right on time!! Thanks Marlena❤

[@christinachef]

Wow! I'm 43, so when you said you were 44, my jaw dropped. I thought you were in your 20s or early 30s. I'll start following your channel for skin care.

[@kimgroslouis5587]

Yes she is beautiful and she appears flawless but don't go thinking it's all natural and only from skincare products. Injections, facial laser and her weight gain contributed to stay plumped. Years ago she updated herself about few of these separately. I am sure your skin look very good too and naturally.

[@LarisaBayaMomo]

Her secret is fillers and botox.

[@robinlawson7441]

I love all your recommendations. I appreciate you sharing! Even the more expensive items are going on my Christmas and Birthday lists. May never get them, but it's on there. 😊. Never let the nay sayers bring you down. I love that you are sharing your wisdom and knowledge out here for free. Xoxoxo

[@SusieColmenero]

LaRoche is one of my top fave brands. I noticed you had a lot of Peach and Lily, gonna have to try the brand!

[@MarlenaStell]

It’s such a good brand!! They have at Ulta too. I haven’t had a product from them yet that I haven’t loved

[@rachaelprudlow6737]

This was a great video! First time I’ve seen you so thanks to the algorithm. I’m in my mid 40s and I too have a list of products that work. I deploy a splurge and save method too! If I don’t see results (at any price point) then it has to go! I use many of these same products and found a few I want to try so thanks!!!

[@TexasLyoness]

I keep my skin care simple and inexpensive. I also live in Houston. I often get stopped and people ask what type of skin care I use. I try to stay away from any fragrances. Although my complexion is genetic, I preserve and maintain it. I never sleep with make up on. I use sunscreen. I double cleanse with Albolene, which is inexpensive and all these balms these days are trying to imitate it. I then rinse that with CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser. Sometimes I use Amlactin 12% lactic acid on my face and body. I also use Differin gel and Retin-A/Tretinoin. I moisturize when and if needed. Patience and consistency are key 🔑 to getting results long-term.

[@XDotcom203]

You're using the 'A' team of skincare right there.

[@JessicaLPie]

I also get stopped all the time about my skincare routine. But it’s all genetics lol I use makeup wipes 😂 but I’m looking into getting better products

[@amena92]

Marlena, thanks so much for this video!! Came at the perfect time❤ love the editing ❤

[@kimalexander362]

LOVE THE ELEMIS FIG!! Elemis Rose Cleansing Balm has a soft nice soft smell as well. Love the way my skin feels after using.

[@MarlenaStell]

The fig one is my favorite! Smells so amazing

[@tracif375]

I just purchased the Blumeme ☺️ Awesome suggestions in various price ranges! Your furbabies are precious 💕

[@MarlenaStell]

Aww thank you!!

[@Haaayds]

I ordered it as well and tracking seems sketchy. Did you receive yours? Or dealing with it still being in the same location for a week?

[@tracif375]

[@connieramsey6798]

I love your channel, but could you list the items you mention in your videos? Would really appreciate it ❤

[@AmyLautar]

I write them down as she goes or I pause the video and go add them to my Amazon cart to look at later....

[@stacymorris2570]

The timeless C E ferulic is just as good as Sunday Rily’s and is affordable. It's alsobformulated at the correct pH for vitamin c.

[@shellbonez]

Yes the best❤

[@content_fan]

Great recommendations , glad you added the clarins double serum , I’ve been eyeing it!

[@LisetteOropesaSoprano]

Thanks for all these recommendations! Just ordered the device and I can’t wait to try it!

[@LuMonsa.27]

I have gone through all skin types, I always resort to Monsia products that have not disappointed me so far 🥰

[@elizabethwuertenburg1702]

This was the video I was waiting from you Marlen thanks for sharing will buy what’s on my budget

[@Katealiceee]

Girl yes! Almost 32 and trying to stay young and fabulous like your skin!❤

[@thebrazenblender7201]

Love these recommendations as I'm really trying to get heavy into skincare this year 🤍

[@MarlenaStell]

Me too! I’ve been really seeing difference in my skin with a few minor changes

[@thebrazenblender7201]

​@MarlenaStell thats so great to hear. I definitely have my eye on that device. It looks incredible. ❤

[@kimberleykindall3133]

I just recently found you and I absolutely love your channel! You are so beautiful! I purchased the Blumene using your link and I received it in the mail today. I’m so excited to start using it! I am looking forward to following you for more skincare and makeup tips!

[@melissaarchila5602]

Love La Roche Posay. My skin has always loves Murad but my wallet can’t keep up 😂 Marlena you look stunning.

[@meldasharif4026]

I was looking for a more affordable Ziip halo option, so than you for recommending the Blumene! Also if anymore is looking for a more affordable skinceutical vitamin c serum replacements, look no further than Timeless, of Geek & Gorgeous if you're in the UK. Both are just as good as the SC version but a fraction of the price 😊

[@terrymatsusaki9032]

What eye concealer do you use to cover the dark circles under eyes? How do you choose the right color for concealer?🌺

[@laceyfontenot186]

I don't trust many people when it comes to skincare, makeup or must haves but when you recommend it, i know it's legit. I just ordered the Blumene. I'm excited to try some new skincare. I'm in my forties and definitely prioritize skincare over makeup now. I found that I don't really need foundation and a full face of makeup since really caring for my skin.

[@MarlenaStell]

Skin is so important! On day to day I’m wearing little foundation also but trying to keep my skin in order. I’m in 40s too and it has changed so much for me

[@PearlDeFloreOfficial]

Incredible! I'm definitely interested to try😍👍

[@lbda9426]

That Clarins Double Serum is the truth. It is my favorite beauty product of all time.

[@mariescott2820]

I like the Elemis moisturizer but sometimes use the night version during the day because my skin is old and dry! But best moisturizer ever for my mature dry skin is Skinceuticals Triple Lipid Restore! Tried to find something like that but so far haven’t found anything that comes close. Murad has a new moisturizer coming out that I am anxious to see more about before deciding if it is worth a try.

[@allieesq]

I absolutely adore you and your vids!

[@sentient.ball.of.stardust]

Thanks for the discount Marlena! I ordered one and was so happy to see they do free delivery even if it's to the UK.

[@Haaayds]

I ordered it as well and tracking seems to be weird. It’s been in the same spot for a week. Have you received it yet? Or dealing with any issues with tracking?

[@sentient.ball.of.stardust]

@@Haaayds I did receive it, but I'm thinking about returning it tbh. When Marlena used it you can see a definitive before and after difference, I could not see that at all when I used it.

[@StephanieGrealis]

Thank you for your recommendations! Your skin is flawless so it’s working or you have fabulous genes! And I agree on the Clinique! Best makeup remover, ever! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

[@dawnirving7285]

I am a faithful user of vitamin c and ferulic. I have tried Skinceuticals, but decided against it. Timeless makes the same thing for a fraction of the price. My skin feels smooth and I’ve saved myself around $130!

[@arleneszabo8517]

Hi. Love the info but could you please do a video about the order in which you would use these products?

[@rouzellecoetzee4890]

Is it a good company ? Have you used the product ?

[@rouzellecoetzee4890]

@@Liz-uv2bb I am expecting the delivery today then only will I use it. Can’t say yet if it works, but the demonstration that Marlena gave looked pretty convincing

[@mariannetuite7411]

I just turned 44 a couple of weeks ago, but people often think I’m at least a decade younger. I’ve got very sensitive skin, but the Elemis brand has been the one brand I really rely on to keep it looking good. The rose cleansing balm, omega rich cleansing oil, and both the original Pro Collagen Marine Cream and the rose version are my stand out products

[@veroferkmusic]

Hi Marlena!... This is a very helpful video. Thank you! But you didn't talk about any micelar water. Is just a thing of your preference or there's something especific why you didn't include it?

[@anastasiamalova3402]

great products, I switch up between Elemis and Luna foreo cleansing balm, which is also fantastic! recommend their Luna brush too. tiny but mighty!

[@edgarherrera2030]

[@tonyahartmann9792]

Thanks Marlena ! I appreciate your recommendations ! I too love the Elemis cleanser , I’ve used it for years, and have tried several of them but not the fig but next time I run out I plan on getting that one! Another thing I just wanted to mention, women need to be supporting each other , not tearing each other down! Some of the comments rub me wrong and I want to say if you don’t agree with a recommendation don’t buy it ,simple, you don’t have to make assumptions about everyone else’s financial status . Kindness is free and contagious! We should be treating others with respect and compassion always! Thanks for the video so many great products !

Use serum or sheet mask that is super hydrating. But exact amount, not too much, it cause break out

Tis the season! I try to keep my routine "simple" and fragrance free. I use CeraVe SA (in the shower, leave on while I shampoo/condition my hair) and The Ordinary for treating/serums/granactive retinol and LaRoche Posay moisturizer because it's super thick for pm. So, $ I'm all over the place but my routine works for me and people can't believe how old I am. Please, be nice...😊

[@TheMonicagal]

Hello...Will you add links to your product recommendations? ❤

[@tammystiletto]

She didn’t add them most likely because people might claim that she is doing the recommendations just for money so she only listed the one sponsor.

[@HereDiianas]

​@tammystiletto It does not make sense. Making a link only for the sponsor product is how people may think it's all about money. You can list products, or put the direct link without getting any money out of it. Content creators don't have to use affiliate links every single time. A simple link or list would just make things easier for viewers to easily and quickly get more information on the product mentioned.

Hi Marlena! I have been watching you since high school (I'm now 29), haha and your skin is gorgeous! I just had a question about the lash serum. I've heard Latisse, Grande Lash, etc. contain prostaglandins in them which can lead to dark circles and orbital fat loss. Because of this, I'm hesitant to use lash serums again but wanted to know your thoughts and if you experienced any of those side effects. Thank you!
