This video is sooo thorough!! I love it!! Watching this makes me want to make a big purchase 😩 I might need to stock up on splenodermine. I miss the tightening!

[@smellyskin]

Hehe thank you! I just love Splenodermine! Can't wait to start using it again! Loving this routine, thank you so much for helping me!!! 😘😘😘

[@SyuzenaPitz]

@@smellyskin Is it really tightening? I didn't try. Shall i purhase 8 ml? Pricey one!I want to buy big size of Placenta serum, i can't without Placenta serum and VIP02 cream which i ordered yesterday for third! time, lol. ( why i bought so many and so oft La Mer spending all my money instead trying to find where i can purchase BR which really works!

[@smellyskin]

@@SyuzenaPitz Splenodermine? Yes it is!

[@SyuzenaPitz]

@@smellyskin Will be in my next purchase!

[@smellyskin]

@@SyuzenaPitz Yay! If your skin isn't reactive, it should be fine for you. I think it is best suited for more mature skin anyways, as it is quite moisturizing as well. Definitely get the big size because I went through the little size in about 2 weeks, haha!

[@theudopantograph]

How did I miss this?!?🤔 .But absolutely agree with you, Lait U does an amazing job, and a better job with removing makeup, and its more cost effective, these days, I only use Lait VIP o2 when I've been out for longer periods of time which is about 2-3 times a week. I've been using the Silk plus finishing serum and I really like it, it's really smoothing so I'm curious to see how Fluide VIP o2 feels in comparison. However, fluide VIP o2 makes a lot of sense as a finisher since it helps with anti pollution. I love this very thorough routine explaining what you're doing and why 🙌

[@smellyskin]

Who knows, youtube has a strange algorithm! Ooooh I have wanted to try Silk Plus too! I just love the texture of VIP O2! It is so smooth! And yes I only use Lait VIP O2 on those days that we've been out in an urban environment for long periods of time too! Thank you so much, I'm glad these videos are informative! 😘💕

[@lanniecandidatomllcb]

Thank you! This really helps as I am researching this product. I've heard great feedbacks about this skincare. I appreciate your video!

[@smellyskin]

Thank you! I'm glad this video helped you in your search! You will love BR!!! 💕

[@lovinglifenfitness3616]

Hi I m a new subscriber. Love your videos they are so informative and educational! I am so happy that you give us the ingredients of the products. That’s wonderful. I haven’t seen anyone yet do that and it helps with making decisions on buying the product. Please make more videos on BR giving the ingredients. Thank you..

[@smellyskin]

Aww thank you so much! I'll work on getting more videos out soon! I appreciate you very much!!! 😍

[@ndines6237]

Your BR videos are so helpful and informative! Thank you! And as someone who is new to the BR line, and completely fell in love with it, I can listen to you talk about the fine details of BR for-ever!! My favorites products (purchased through Bisma, who I learned about from Abby Bliss White) are: Lait EV (but must be used dry face dry hands for one minute) - at first before I got my instructions from the beautiful Bisma, and I didn’t know, I was wetting my face and hands with water then going in with cleanser and I was wondering why I was underwhelmed with the product. Once I started using it correctly- 2 words- game changer! Lotion P50 - Pigm 400 Serum pigm 400 Contour Les yeux et levres biofixine Creme pigm 400 (can’t live without) Creme MSR-H Le grand millisme finishing serum And Waiting for serum de tient to arrive in the mail tomorrow! 🥳🥳 I’m 57 and although I hardly have any wrinkles (yes I’m bragging here lol) what I have is hyperpigmentation with a capitol H! All those years of sun tanning and sun beds! 😖 I am loving BR. I am hydrated like I never got with any other product line! Your skin is so beautiful and glowy and I love your videos!!! 😊 Thank you for reading and explaining the ingredients!!! Love to you Shana from Pennsylvania!

[@smellyskin]

Omg you are the sweetest! Wow thank you for your awesome comment and for giving me the details on all the products you picked up! Yes I agree about the cleansers, you really need to just go in with the cleanser alone for at least a minute because I noticed that they start to get absorbed into the skin so you want to add water, but if you just keep massaging they actually turn into an oil! I hope you love all your products! And yay for no wrinkles!!! Thats awesome!!! Thanks again for watching and commenting!!! 💗💗💗

[@tegall92]

Loved this! I’ve been using P50 1970 and placenta cream for a few years and have wanted to switch to BR completely for a while.... between you, Maya and Abby I just placed a big order and my wishlist is growing! Quick questions...do you recommend the LaMer eye cream and what SPF do you use???? Thank you so much! 🤩

[@smellyskin]

Thank you! Haha that's funny, I love both of them! I love the La Mer eye cream, it's my favorite for the day time. It really helps with dark circles and general anti aging. I have been using the Glossier one lately which is a chemical sunscreen. If I'm going outdoors and going to be in the sun all day and am not wearing makeup, I like the Avene mineral sunscreen. I really dont like sunscreens cuz they tend to break me out but I have the BR one on my wishlist!

[@isabelg8788]

Love your videos. I have used P50 in the past, but just recently dove in with a few more products to start a BR regimen. Just curious, did you do a consultation or just selecting products out on your own? I did a consultation with a BR trainer and purchased from Key of Beauty here in Los Angeles.

[@smellyskin]

Thank you! That's great! I did not do a consultation, I learned everything on my own and through talking with Maya Rodriguez here on YT, her Instagram is BiologiqueFreak, and just other estheticians on instagram like the ones I mentioned in the description box. I would love to learn more through doing a consult though!

[@bilge3708]

Hi Shana. thank you for the great video :) It is super informative. I have acne-prone combo skin too. I want to purchase p50w and alongside that, I want to try serum or cream version of placenta. But I am not sure which one would be better. Since the brand is expensive I don't want to buy both of them and pick one. Is the cream version is too thick for acne prone skin? What do you think? :)

[@smellyskin]

Thank you! I prefer the serum Placenta for HEALING acne that has already been extracted, not on inflamed acne. I am not a huge fan of the creme for everyday use on my skin as I dont need the healing properties everyday. If I had a massive breakout all over my face and need to heal the scarring then yes I would use the cream, and have used it like that before.

[@Cat-jj4cr]

Freia esthetic use only 1 drop of finishing serum. She posted on her ig that you cannot have too much of finishing serum because you may breakout. Anyway, i was supposed to get the collagen marine cream but it was out of stock hence i just get the creme echinoderm which i end up loving.

[@smellyskin]

Oh really? Wow one drop seems like I wouldnt even be able to spread it around my face! Thx for telling me tho! Awww that's a bummer, I have been wanting to try echinoderm too! What do you love about it? 💕

[@Cat-jj4cr]

Shana Menton she uses a lot of serums too but in small amounts. As for echinoderm, it made my skin so bright and glowing. I will definitely get cream collagen marine and oligo next. 💕

[@smellyskin]

@@Cat-jj4cr that's great! What is the texture like of that cream? Is it similar to Placenta or Dermopurifiante? Or more similar to Creme Au Collagene Marin?

[@Cat-jj4cr]

Shana Menton it’s.... creamy and silky haha i dont know how to describe 😂 But it is so smooth. I have not tried placenta and collagene marine but looks like it based on the reviews.

[@Cat-jj4cr]

Shana Menton Christina Kassi made a video where she described echinoderm, she’s more articulate.

[@nicolecowper7022]

I have the spray bottle of Fluide VIP O2, it comes out the same consistency as the dropper although I feel like with the spray bottle too much product comes out with one spray, unlike the dropper when you can control how much you want to use 😀

[@smellyskin]

Ohhh ok, thank you for telling me! So about how much comes out when you spray? Dime size?

[@nicolecowper7022]

Sometimes even more than dime size, for a pricey product, I want to be able to control more how much comes out 😬

[@graceperri]

Hey Shana enjoying your channel. Question for you... what sunscreen do you use?

[@smellyskin]

Thank you! Right now I am using the Glossier one but I also like Avene's for when I go outdoors, it is a mineral sunscreen. Glossier's is good, but it is a chemical one. I really want the BR one tho!!! 💕

Thank you so much! Sorry for the super delayed reply! KZbin's notification system for new comments is not the best!

[@dianusia44]

I love love your videos. I was just thinking, yo7 have a beautiful complexion except those breakouts which we all get of course. Don’t you think that this could be from using this many actives? Serums in the morning? I’m a more is more person, and lately I decided to simplify my morning routine cause I thought maybe that’s the reason my skin is very reactive. And for me it worked. Please tell me what do you think? Also, I made my first order with BR. I purchased Lotion P50, Serum Placenta, Serum Iribiol, Masque Vernix & Masque Vivant. I can’t wait to use it ❤️

[@smellyskin]

Thank you! I haven't been getting any new breakouts in a while now, and I think it's because my skin freaked out when I switched all of my skincare to May Lindstrom. Now that I am back on BR, my skin is back to normal! The May Lindstrom line is such a beautiful line but it is full of actives and oils that were too much for me, so yes, I do think that simplicity can really help when your skin is being reactive. You placed a great order! You will love all of those products! I'm excited for you!!!

[@dianusia44]

Shana Menton i would love to be able to try May Lindstrom one day.. People love it. I’ve managed to cure my acne finally, it has been a long journey for me and so I’m looking forward to switch to BR to brighten my scars and to lift and firm my face. You’ve helped me to choose what products I needed the most to start with so thank you so much! Lots of love, take care ❤️

[@dannarios1871]

Hi love which serum do you recomendable for combo skin sensitive and prone to break out to little pimples.. I’m kind of dehydrated on cheeks ? And want luminousity. I’m using placenta and dermopore with Dermopurifiante

[@smellyskin]

Hello! I would say do not put your Serum Placenta on your dehydrated cheeks as it has a tendency to cause further dehydration. You can try Oligo Proteines Marines! It might be a little stimulating for you, and if it is and you don't want to use it all over, you can always use it under your eyes! It is great for dark circles! You might want to try Complexe Iribiol for your breakouts!

[@elenikoulouvatos3]

Hi! can you please list the products you use for easy reference? Also what type of skin do you have? thanks!! Very helpful video!

[@smellyskin]

Yes! On my to do list today! Just wanted to get the video up asap. I have oily/combo/acne prone.

[@sindhureddytimmasani1604]

Hello I find your videos r very informative and helpful for new BR USERS . Creme Vernix has been clogging my pores and breaking me out with white heads and black heads . I been using Vernix as my final step of moisturing step after dermapurite cerme . Help me is this happen for any of you. should I still use it overnight r just as masque for few mints every week . I would be thankful if u advice me best moisture for my combination skin and Sensitive skin iN BR . Thanks in advance x

[@smellyskin]

Vernix can be too rich for some ppl, and it can break me out too, I can't use it everyday! For combo skin have you tried dermopurifiante? I can only speak for the old version though... and I only use it at night. Echinoderm too, but its being discontinued. Those are the only two creams I can think of that I've tried for my combo/oily skin. Placenta is fine too, but again, I havent tried the new version. Collagen Marin was not hydrating enough for me, but that one is very firming. Have you tried VIP O2?

[@sindhureddytimmasani1604]

@@smellyskin Thanks for your time in replying me ,much appreciated. Yes I have pretty much most of the BR PRODUCTS EXCEPT finishing serums. I am new to BR IT BEEN 3 months for now .i had virtual consultation at London BR REPRESENTATIVE thou she didn’t listed Vernix for my skin instance I bought it and few other serums and cremes out of enthusiasm and reviews on YT.i really like the feel of it on skin but very thick and clogging pores . I don’t have acne issues other than clogged pores . Lately I been using skin better + products along with BR seems working well . I will try and cut down usage of Vernix for once a week just as mask and wash off . I don’t want to waste it thou . Thanks for your time again x

[@toniverano8050]

Hi Shana! Lovely review! I was wondering if you have tried the Creme Pigm 400?

[@smellyskin]

Thank you! I have only tried a sample size of Creme PIGM 400. It is a beautiful cream and leaves the skin looking very glowy! It has a little bit of mica in it which provides the glow.

[@toniverano8050]

@@smellyskin thanks for the feedback! Im having an internal debate whether to get this or not for pigmentation 😅

[@anaisabel4323]

Hi ! New subscriber! I’m new to BR I have not used any of the serums If i were to buy only one which one would you recommend? I’m 39 normal to combination skin I don’t have acne currently but I do have post acne dark spots .. I’m thinking placenta serum since I order the cream , would you please help me decide ???

[@smellyskin]

Hello! Thank you for subscribing 🥰 if you're trying to heal old hyperpigmentation then I would try Serum PIGM400. I haven't tried it but that one is meant for dark spots. If you're looking for brightness then I would try Oligo Proteines Marines. Placenta serum is good for healing acne that has already popped and you want to speed up the recovery process. I am currently testing a non BR product for brightness and pigmentation that I will have a video on soon! But if you want to go with BR specifically, I would choose PIGM400!

[@anaisabel4323]

Shana Menton thank you!

[@bretts5346]

I feel your pain, the small serum viles run out so quickly! I bought the splenodermine (absolutely LOVE) and it’s already running low. It suggests 10 drops for face/neck morning and night, I’ll be out in a few weeks!

[@smellyskin]

Hahah yep! The small viles are like just a little tease I swear! I'm not going to buy the small ones anymore, I go through them too quickly! Lol 💕

[@bretts5346]

Thanks! I also laughed when you used the La Mer eye serum… I, too, get frustrated with the little metal wand... the application technique La Mer suggests is ridiculous and I always forget what I’m supposed to be doing. 😆 anyway, love your channel. We share so many of the same skincare products. My newest favorite thing (besides BR) is NuFACE's microcurrent facial device. I swear, this thing is amazing!

[@نجلاءالقحطاني-ص3ه]

dear I have discoloration tired skin, and my skin combination ( T zone) and on same time it's dehydration. I'm looking for some thing makes my skin bright, control the oil and gives some hydration. which products do u recommend ?? thanks a lot??

[@smellyskin]

Hello, I am not an esthetician or licensed to give you any kind of professional advice on your skin, but if you are looking to use BR products for what you mentioned, I would try Lotion P50 PIGM400 since you said you have discoloration. For oily skin that is also dehydrated I would try the serum Extraits Tissulaires, and also Oligo Proteines Marines to help with brightness. For oil control I would try Emulsion Gel Biosensible SR, which will give you hydration, and also help with sebum control, this is a lightweight gel cream. I am currently testing out a product for hyperpigmentation and brightness which is not from BR, that I am really enjoying. I should be getting that video out soon!

[@valerialemesdsilva]

Nice video. Do you keep your serums in the fridge???

[@smellyskin]

Thank you! No I keep them in my medicine cabinet and my house is always around 74 degrees F. If I have any backups I do keep those in the fridge though.

[@roxyo8477]

Hey great video really enjoyed, just fyi I dont think you are advised/supposed to mix more than 10 drops from all different quintessential serums. Xx

[@smellyskin]

Thanks! According to the esthetician that I consult with, she recommends 8-10 drops per serum and like 3 or 4 serums per routine. So that's a lot more than 10 drops total! 😊

[@roxyo8477]

Oh wow that's good to know, the company I buy from stressed not to use more than 10, by the way i have serum amniotique and from your description i think extraits tissulair sounds more hydrating :| I dont find amniotique hydrating enough at night and I have combo skin too. It's fine for daytime because I use creme echinoderm after but will defo try tissular once that runs out. I have ordered splenodramine and havent used before, do you concentrate in certain areas or use all over the face? Xx

[@smellyskin]

@@roxyo8477 maybe they meant 10 drops per serum? I use splenodermine all over but recently I have only been using 3 drops mixed into 7 drops if VG Tensil. Splenodermine is very stimulating and moisturizing so I'm using less these days.

[@karenmichelson701]

I also have read (I think from BR Embassy of Beauty in the UK) to only use 10 drops total when mixing serums. That would make the serums last longer for sure!!

[@KhaNguyen-qs2dq]

I have the same skin type as yours. I just got the Placenta. Do you think which serum would be worth the splurge?

[@smellyskin]

Well what concerns are you trying to address?

[@KhaNguyen-qs2dq]

@@smellyskin thanks for responding. My main concern are acnes, scars and pigmentation.

[@smellyskin]

@@KhaNguyen-qs2dq if you're specifically interested in BR, for acne I would try Complex Iribiol. For acne scarring I would use the Serum Placenta and Oligos Proteines Marines. I just uploaded a video on Lira Clinical products, their Pro Lite serum is the best for post acne scarring/brightness and hyperpigmentation.

[@kristinjones7023]

I was wondering if it was the may lindstrom products that broke you out? I am thinking about purchasing her products but now I’m scared because this video was during the time you purchased may lindstrom.

[@smellyskin]

I came to the conclusion that I think it was the shea butter base of the blue cocoon that broke me out! Also the powdered mask (forgot the name) and the clean dirt did not agree with me either. However, I did enjoy the Youth Dew and the Jasmine Garden! The Pendulum Potion was okay, but I think for someone as oily as me, I need something that emulsifies or foams slightly! If you have dry skin that does not break out easily, then I think her products might work great for you!

[@SyuzenaPitz]

Love your skinroutine , my skin routine is literally identical, lool. Only La Mer eye cream is sold out in Germany where i always buy.

[@smellyskin]

Thank you! Oh wow, that's cool! So we must have similar skin condition then! That's a bummer... can you order it from somewhere else? Or is it more expensive then?

@@smellyskin I live in Germany, here you can order from Spa online shops, i found 3 who sells, lol. Or buy directly in BR beauty Spa.

@@smellyskin I'm going to order collagene marine now, i didn't try collagene marine cream, i had placenta and VIP O2. Vip O2 is very ligt cream, i use 3 serums , third is collagene natif and after the VIP o2 cream, it is light weight cream and skin starts to glow. Absolutely different with serum VIP o2. I bought serum bc i thought it will have same texture but no, not at all. Pricey , 150 euro here but you need a little amount so it lasts . White cream, smells like oxygene? I think they have samples of this cream, here you can buy (lol) some samples. Try, but i am sure you will love it. I had all my life oily skin , nothing really helped except BR. I will order collagene marine now. Did you try placenta cream? Also a good one, but only for evening. Smells at the beginning but mornings you have a perfect clean , nearly glass skin!

[@smellyskin]

Many places, I mention in the description box, but Toska Spa, Rescue Spa, AB The Art of Beauty are a few.

[@cvnkj4032]

I’ve got sensitive congested reactive dehydrated skin. What serum what u recommend for texture an refined pores. ?

[@smellyskin]

Well I'm assuming you're already using P50W then? You can try Serum 3R as I have heard that is great for texture and dehydration, and it is better for sensitive skin than MC110. Also Extrait Tissulaires would be a good one to try for hydration and maybe try Serum Biosensible, I have heard that is good for calming reactive skin and helping it to become less sensitive. Extrait Tissulaires is one of their Quintessential Serums which are more watery in texture and Serum 3R and Serum Biosensible are both Targeted Serums and are more like your typical serum texture.

[@felipecortes1514]

I started using the creme placenta and the lotion p50w and I'm loving the brand, i want to try the serum extraits tissulaires, how long does the 30ml bottle lasts approximately?

[@smellyskin]

Great! I would say that if you're using about 8-10 drops twice a day, the large bottles will last you about 2-3 months.
