Thanks for the honest review, it's so refreshing to find a a channel that u can trust! Your skin is amazing by the way💜

[@ultracurious]

As always, your reviews are the most comprehensive and honest. Thank you.

[@jonag2056]

Your skin looked better before... Crazy! Thank you so much for taking the time to use these products and keeping us informed!

[@maureenhansen8321]

I'm so grateful for this review! I agree I saw absolutely no difference!

[@katiesandidge6602]

I ADORE that you stay true to not only yourself, but to the rest of the anti aging community! I've seen other people try out these products and rave about them, without doing the close up comparisons that you do. I feel that sometimes free product can sway their opinion or that a price tag means it must work so they see the results that aren't actually there. I personally saw a difference in the before and after photos, but it was opposite! the before photos seemed to me to show how wonderful your skin is and the after looked a smidgen worse! thank you for trying these products out for us, I sure do appreciate you!!

[@karenwalker2336]

Thank you Angie for taking your time, money, and effort testing these products for us.

[@MaryEllenAfter60]

You photos are always perfect. I could not tell any difference, and I really studied the photos. I used Beenigma on the left side of my forehead, and it took almost 3 months to see lasting improvement. Love to watch your comparison videos. Blessings...MaryEllen

[@christiecallahan4340]

Thanks for ALWAYS being honest with your reviews, Angie! Love your videos!!!!!!

[@kimhough7753]

I didn't see any difference, actually thought the before pics looked better than the after. Thanks Angie!

[@BeeKay4444]

OMG.. Angie you had me laughing with your description of the fragrance from those. Love that you polled the family and shared their thoughts too. So glad I found your channel. Keep up the great videos :0)

[@sandraanderson9544]

Love how thorough you are. I don't see a difference either....but honestly, I can't imagine you looking any better than you do! You seem to have found the holy grails of skin care. Thank you.

[@mizzmanatee]

Angie ...Thank You for what you do! I just love your in-depth, honest reviews! You are a wonderful asset to the YT community and yours is is my absolute favorite channel!

[@GiGistitches]

I SO appreciate your being our 'guinea pig'. Thanks for another great review. I don't think there is ANYONE else on KZbin that is as thorough as you are.

[@littlebeebs1]

You're my favorite reviewer ! So thorough, and your pics are so perfect! I dunno how you get the angle so exact in the before and after!!!

[@wendabonazza5536]

Your skin is already perfect. I see zero difference in the pics. I'm so glad I saw this review. Thank you

[@terwya]

I was so happy when you said you didn't see any difference. I paused the video and really looked and concluded that nothing changed. It proves the point that expensive is not always the best. It's a crime what some of these cosmetic companies charge for products. Thanks again for another great review.

[@sofiaavalos4440]

Great review. I totally agree. I see no difference. You proved it. You don't always get what you pay for when it comes to "high end anti aging" products. Keep up the great work.

[@Marienkaefer4]

Really appreciate these types of videos! I think your skin looks the same if not better in the before pictures! You have helped me so much with your daily skin care routine videos and I have switched up my skin care products and have seen a great improvement! Thank you so much!

[@nikkicalnin1618]

Oh wow, I literally had my wallet out to order the Beenigma, I am SO glad I have your channel in my life, you just saved me a bunch of money! Good gracious! Love you Angie!

[@lakegirl645]

You're so pretty. First, I didn't see a change either, secondly...what a fantastic video experiment!! SO PROFESSIONAL!!!!❤❤❤

[@spiritualsoulguide7275]

Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us! I just turned 40 and did have some fillers done - but now i'm going to be using most of the products you recommend because your skin looks amazing at your age! and I am learning so much for you!! ✨💕 🙏✨💕 🙏 Love you!!

[@StephanieMarie]

I've been using the TNS for a year now and talk about it on my channel a lot bc it has made a difference for me. BUT...not at two months. I don't feel like I saw much until the 3-4 month mark. I truly do love what it does! Loved this!

[@msmith1821]

Is Tns the whole name of the product?

[@e.starling141]

That's what I was wondering when she said 2 months. I would figure it would take closer to 5 or 6. Kinda like you don't see full results with retinol for a good 3 months.

[@LGinCO]

I just bought the TNS and my dermatologist said to not expect to see the results until after 4-6 months. 2 months isn't long enough for these products to show significant improvement, so I would have been shocked to see results then as well.

[@ritasharqawi7367]

@@LGinCO any updates please

[@LGinCO]

@@ritasharqawi7367 I used it for 4 months and saw no improvement so I went back to my Timewise coQ10, Timewise Vit. c serum, and sunscreen for the day and Curology, Elastaderm undereye, and Olay night cream at night. Skin looks the same, but my wallet it much happier.

[@elyssadavis4700]

Best review out there! No one else actually shows honest before & after pics. Thanks for letting the facts speak for themselves instead of just reviewing the hype.

[@palindrome36]

I'm so glad you did this review because I was curious about both products. I did not see any difference for either product. I appreciate the way you test products and your honesty.

[@marysapia5213]

I’m blown away how good your skin looks period!

[@jessicasiders414]

Those are two products I've always been curious about, thanks for the review

[@eileenrettner6214]

Well ,that certainly helps people who were thinking of purchasing those extremely expensive products.Personally I would never waste my hard earned money .I'm perfectly happy following your skin care proposals ,thanks a lot for your well appreciated honesty

[@TheMaysoliman]

It really is true! So many comments say they think the before pictures were better and I think so too! Bless you Angie, you're my go to reference for real scientific verdict on all skin crazy trends. Especially if it is a multi hundred $ trend.😱

[@fairday2]

you looked better beforehand, in my opinion.

[@Danellr007]

I hated to say it, but I thought so as well.

[@carriel3054]

OMG me too! Pores were more noticeable in the after for sure.

[@LauraPazzaglia]

Ditto. : ( Thanks for toughing it out for us Angie - I was so curious about Beenigma!!

[@duchessofdissent5728]

Her skin texture was worse & so were her fine lines- Amazing. Good Job Angie.

[@KDebora]

I agree,her skin was looking better on the befpre pictures than after. Sorry Angie, thanks for going through all of that for us.

[@1981moneill]

Great, helpful, honest review! Thanks so much for being the guinea pig 😋 I meant to ask you in your last video if you had tried growth serums before but this answered my question! I don't see any differences so THANK YOU for saving me a ton of money!! Your skin looked fabulous before and still does!

[@anndoucette4307]

Great video/info. Looking forward to hearing about your thoughts on the Ordinary - loving some of those products. BTW, you candor about beauty products is so appreciated.

[@baconedwards2317]

love your thorough reviews! very helpful

[@rachelleczeczko9076]

love u , you are so honest,I do think the beenegma side looked a little plumper after your ordeal yet not enough to purchase .Thankyou for your reviews!

[@amywilliams1443]

Thanks Angie, I've been thinking about trying the Beenigma... now I don't have too! Less money wasted! Great video, as always, so truthful and comprehensive! You're the best!

[@squirrelswithpearls]

Thanks for keeping it real, Angie! I didn't notice any difference while studying your before and after pics, but you're a trooper for giving both a fair chance. I can't wait to see your review of Deciem's The Ordinary line. I use several of the products and can't say enough good things, plus the price is right!

[@sylviacarrasquillo7649]

I'm 51 and started the TNS serum in 12/2015 per my dermatologist. This was my first skincare regimen. I saw significant improvement on my skin tone and texture. Very slight difference on the wrinkles. I actually got use to the funky smell and have grown to like it. But Angie you have beautiful skin already so I think whatever you do now won't be too much of a difference ya know? This is retail prices you can find it wholesale for much less. Thank you so much for the review!

[@emilyrosenzweig9946]

Thank you for this thorough approach! I really appreciate everything you did in this video, including reviewing the evidence the company use to support their claims.

[@bloomingbeauty5673]

Thank you for this! I have become very cautious when seeing a lot of reviews for a particular product, and Beenigma was where I learned this expensive lesson. I saw lots of glowing reviews by YT's who were sent the item, purchased the product myself, and had no results. Yes, it felt nice, but I can get that with much less expensive creams.

[@cadyc3]

The before and after photos looked exactly the same to me. Thanks for taking one for the team!

[@maddiejames766]

You keep it so real....awesome job

[@fairday2]

I am so glad that you introduce these products to us. Alas, I am now over 60, yet some say I look only 50. They are so nice, but I follow your advice to slow down what I can, all on a retired person's budget. I watch every one of your videos until my laptop crashes. I also go back to watch many again, just as I did today. keep showing us what works, and showing brands that we don't have locally. It makes my shopping wiser when we do get to Ulta or Sephora. Thanks again!

[@conniecrew2585]

Hi Angie! I just found your channel and I'm so happy I did. Your skin is amazing and you give me such hope that I can accomplish great things too! (I'm a late starter at 55) Thank you for trying out all the products and giving your honest opinion. I appreciate the effort to find affordable products that work. Blessings to you and your family in the New Year! ❤

[@ljd3766]

Thanks for a great video! yes a review of The ordinary buffet would be fantastic.

[@margaretpentecost4056]

Thank you so much for testing all the products. So trust your opinion. I didn't see a difference that would make me purchase products. Aside from that you looked beautiful in video. So you are doing something right, which has encouraged me to continue to strive for better shin. Please keep skin care videos coming

[@d.h.9278]

Thank you Angie, I too didn't see any improvement, but do appreciate your testing the products and sharing the results! You have have great channel that I do enjoy ;-)

[@cindy133]

Honestly, I liked the before pictures better on both sides. Thank you for experimenting for us!

[@pchef1756]

Ditto the last reviewer! Great review. I used the TNS for months, only to maintain and not see the claimed differences in my skin. Thank you!

[@lindyj505]

Hi Angie I did not notice a difference. I would expect much more from that price point. Thanks for taking the time to try the products.

[@stephanielucio6795]

I like the before pictures for both. There was a slight difference on your right side, but again you have amazing skin. your original skin care gives better results without using those additional products. Thanks Angie for another great review. 🤓

[@bjlivigni7334]

Thanks, Angie! To me, there was a slight difference with Beenigma around the corners of the mouth area. If anyone is interested, Beenigma has an auto delivery for $89.

[@jangreenwood9753]

Thanks for an honest review, I couldn't see any difference, your skin looks great. xx

[@AmericanDingo980]

Your skin started out looking nearly flawless. So much so, that these products probably didn't have enough to work with. Man, your skin really looks great!

[@MyMaria1224]

Thank you so much reviewing these products for us!!! I strongly agree with just because a product costsso much that it's the best! Live love my timeless products! Love ya Angie!! We all trust your opinion here!!!! 😘

[@whiskersBOOSTER2]

Hi Angie, I'm with you, I didn't notice any real changes either. You have beautiful skin to start with… Thanks for sharing with us.

[@mabell-nj2tv]

Angie, thanks for taking one for the team!!! (The expense). I truly trust your word and I'll pass on these products. Your awesome....love your videos!

[@patburns6541]

Glad you tried the products. After using TNS for 3 months I could tell no difference and way to much money for nothing. I am still sticking with your Timeless suggestions and products along with Hydropeptide sunscreen. I couldn't be more pleased. Thanks again for your channel and your continued support of women. You are my favorite go to. Happy and feeling great at 62.

[@boyoungartist]

very fair and honest review! I really appreciate that

[@parulsheth-rana7301]

Thanks for your review. I was about to give in to the hype and spend a lot of $$$ for the TNS Serum. Thank you for saving me a lot of money.

[@ccadvisor489]

I like your honest evaluations. Thanks Angie!

[@smmg9642]

Great video!! Thank you for being so honest!!!

[@lisamunisteri304]

I have been using the tns serum for about 3 months and love it! Has made such a difference with wrinkles and firmness for me. Just my 2 cents.

[@orchidhuntersmith4276]

love your lipstick combo! you look flawless before and after. hard to make perfection more perfect.

[@normakeith4472]

So, so glad I came back and watched this video.....I was close to dropping the bucks for the Skinmedica TNS serum......not now. I saw no difference in the b4 and after pictures. I certainly appreciate what you do!!!! Thanks Angie!

[@elstongunn4277]

This is amazing in that I think your BEFORE pictures look better than the AFTER pictures for both products.

[@barbaradietzman7105]

Hi Angie, you're gorgeous and an inspiration for all of us trying to look our best as we age. Thanks for testing these...I was considering both and now will not purchase either. Sticking with my tried & true, among them being Timeless! Thank YOU!

[@cathydunfee5381]

Angie, I totally agree and saw no difference whatsoever, but thank you for spending all that money and time for our benefit. Maybe someone who has had years of not taking care of their skin would probably see some difference, but I would imagine many less expensive products would do just as much if not more. I do use many of your other products you recommend and very satisfied, so I look forward to your new hit/misses in 2017. Keep up the great work!

[@carolgoldman1275]

I can see no difference either between, or before and after. Thanks for saving us all that money. Your research is the best.

[@Marissathered]

You are the best!! thank you for your honesty

[@MsMirV]

Your skin looked wonderful before... and I struggled to find a better version! Great job with the in-use test : )

[@BlingyBea]

You have such beautiful skin nothing needed improving. I couldn't see any significant improvement, what you are currently using is working for you.

[@missyliajsmith6456]

u have beautiful skin , and i actually think the before pics were better, thanks for ur honest review and not just pushing products , love ur channel .

[@suzm]

Angie I love your reviews! You're a beautiful woman wether these products work or not. You put a lot of thought and time into your reviews. It is much appreciated.

[@donnacarlson4419]

I appreciate your honesty so much! I didn't see any difference either... you were beautiful before and beautiful after!

[@sarajanehaven]

Thanks Angie, for expending so much time and energy on behalf of your followers and fans. I think the before pictures actually look better. I generally consider the high end anti-aging wonder creams and serums as good old fashioned 'snake oil' that we get suckered into buying with compelling but false claims. Clearly, using skin care products that produce positive results (and I do) is better than nothing but I personally hold the bar low in terms of expectations and keep in mind that any and all results typically last only till the next face cleansing.

[@mel92765]

Thank you as always for your great reviews!

[@lisabafundo4355]

Hi Angie, I'm so glad to see you have done a before and after with the Beenigma cream! I've been thinking about using it myself. I have to agree with you, I do not see much of a difference at all...but, appreciate the time you've spent testing 😊 it definitely benefits us viewers. I am anxious to know how well the myotone device works. Thanks you. Have a happy new year!

[@anneo.896]

thanks for doing this test, really appreciate it. Such a confusing, expensive, time consuming experience finding the right face creams. You really did look better in the befores! sorry, but again thanks

[@gloryb-tv]

I agree with you, Angie! While looking at your before and after photos, I thought that the other skincare items in your regimen are doing the work for you - and have - for a while. Good job testing these two products and showing us! ~Glory B.

[@karenhenderson9857]

Interesting! I've always wondered about the Beenigma. You look great!!!

[@londonplayz257]

Great video!! I’ve used obagi for years and love it!! I started watching a lot of different videos about the TNS and decided to give it a try , I’ve been using it now for over a month, I don’t see any difference at all!!! Kind of disappointing because it is so expensive. Love your videos and your honesty❤️

[@jowiens32]

I actually do see a difference. I think your skin looked better before using them! Thank you Angie 💜 Loved this.

[@effiebasdra9832]

Thank you so much for being honest Angie! You are a breath of fresh air! And you look great too :)

[@christinestubbs2172]

I do not notice a difference either. As Dianne said, you always look great!! You are so down to earth. That is why I love your videos. Also, you use products that most of us can afford!! Thanks for all you do to help us age gracefully.

[@bmbrown318]

Thank you so much for these reviews... looking forward to the next products. . yes. .thank you for being the guinea pig.. we appreciate it!

[@jennybartz8569]

I'm on my second jar of beenigma and I won't be repurchasing it , I feel it just a good moisturizer especially for those with dry skin .Nothing anti aging about it plus I don't like that it's in a jar . Thank you for the review Angie

[@hannahmaser6135]

Honestly, you're incredible at taking identical before and after pictures. Holy cow.

[@reginag7911]

Thank you so much for the great reviews. I am looking forward to your thoughts on the Ordinary line.

[@missceil]

I am so glad you did this!! I have always thought about buying the TNS but because of the price, I never did! I'm so glad I didn't waste my money!! Your skin looks great though 😉 Thanks for the unbiased review!

[@angelinadrobina5037]

Just watched a KZbin rave so much about the tns so I thought I would come to the grand mistress of skincare and thank you Angie you’ve saved me the money and I appreciate that very much. Xxx

[@lynnenix]

Thank you so much for testing this so we don't have to waste our money!

[@tracymccorkle7980]

I do think your skin has looked great over these past couple of months! I am going to have to try your favorite foundation!

[@mariviberrios]

Excellent review! Thanks!🌺

[@lindamcandrew1229]

Thumbs up, good video Angie! Thanks for your generosity always doing these videos for us, plus your buying expensive products. I saw No difference in your skin. Maybe someone with bad skin might have a positive result but in your case your skin is so good to begin with. Thanks again.

[@hollyduvall3202]

Thank-you!! I am grateful for your review also. Saved me a bunch of time and money!! Right now sticking with Retin-A and Vitamin C serum:)

[@teamgbutterflyofhealth2253]

Thank you Angie for trying these and giving us such honest opinions and before/after pictures. I did not see a difference either. Glad I can save some $$$ and keep using great anti-aging without breaking the bank.

[@ghazalttt]

such a great review!!! I love your honesty! I immediately subscribed!

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

Thanks for subbing! xo

[@eviedegenhardt8898]

Hi Angie, I've tried the TNS on a couple of different occasions. I too felt as though I didn't see any changes in lines or texture. I won't purchase again. However I did try Neocutis Bio Serum and did see a difference. I'm in my early 50's. Thank you for making yourself a guinea pig for all of us.

[@sheilasteward401]

I think the before pics where a little better .. you look amazing Angie !

[@susansvintagelifebeautyand5568]

Thanks Angie for your time and dedication! Was considering Beenigma. I think I will buy something fun in color cosmetics instead.

[@chrisr1686]

thank you Angie for the great review. Your skin looked better before to me on both sides..but always beautiful.
