Why Are People So Obsessed With These Skincare Products!? Rhode, BYOMA, Medicube, Slurp Laboratories

The Byoma cleansing balm is so good! It lasts a really long time (the pot is surprisingly deep) and the packaging is refillable, so you can replace the insert without buying the whole box 👍

[@AKbaby89]

I love refillable packaging! The Glow Recipe Plum moisturizer has refill pods and I love buying those, they're so easy to recycle🙌 Also, idk where you live, but Sephora recently started taking in empties! I had a ton of them that I brought in and the employee said that they have a box at every store now. You just have to bring them in clean and without pumps (I think, I know the place I recycled them before didn't take pumps, I think sephora asked the same) and they'll recycle them! 🙌

Thats amzing! for sure gonna be the next cleansing balm i use

They are overall such an amazing brand!

[@AKbaby89]

I have super dry skin and I love their facial spray, hydrating serum and both moisturizers! The only product I havent loved from them is the cleansing oil, it just didnt get my mascara off. But everything else I've tried from them I've really liked! And I like that it's more on the affordable side (imo) but they're all just really nice products. 🙌

[@AwkwardAdrian504]

There’s a hello kitty essence that is by crème shop that is basically the same exact thing but smells lightly of strawberry milk and contains ceramides, cica , etc. I don’t see wasting my money on Mrs. Beibers essence . This milky toner by crème shop calms , soothes, gives glass skin and is a thicker milky essence. Exactly everything you described . I love to use it in the morning and if my trentinion irritates my skin. It soothes immediately .

[@Hello-Stoiko]

You had me at hello kitty and strawberries ❤

[@kitokkey]

personally i have a completely different experience with the medicube boost-r! I have dry AND dehydrated skin and i was struggling with hydration and products penetrating my skin in the first place, and also feeling hydrated all day. In the winter after a couple hours i would feel dry again. This device helped me so much and when I don’t use it I can actually tell the difference

[@aputopia4122012]

it's funny that you say you missed your rosacea when it was 'gone' bc every time I do my make up, I cover my rosacea up and then always end up putting a red/orange blush in the exact spots I have redness. idk why, but despite wanting to cover it up, I usually just end up toning it down if anything. I feel like my face doesn't look like me if I don't have a bit of red on my cheeks and chin

[@JamesWelsh]

Yeah that’s exactly it. I feel like I don’t look like me. I was thinking the other day….should I just wear blush and enhance my redness? 😅

[@aputopia4122012]

[@user-tz1dq3fw5b]

I’ve been eyeing on Booster H but cannot find the research to back it up. The website doesn’t even what kind of modality it used. You are right, the products are meant to be applied with our hands just fine. Thank you for talking me out of it and saving money!

[@nabeehamaryam6236]

if you have dry skin you could give it a try since they have a huge sale going on the devices now, it especially helps for dry skin since they struggle the most with the benefits listed by the products, but if you have textured/oily skin and want a different set of benefits you should try the white device. BUT if whatever you're doing now is working just fine for you and you were looking to add these as an emergency product not necessarily to just spend your money then there's no need, just keep doing what you're doing. If you're curious and don't mind the extra devices I think they're worth a try, but they have two different products for two different purposes. Also as an oily skin person you aren't struggling to boost product penetration like a dry skinned person with a damaged skin barrier would have, which is why some don't notice much of a difference because they're skin barrier is working fine. The white device (skin shot) is good for texture, pores and hyperpigmentation btw if that was your main concern. sorry that was a lot 😅

[@marcellelewis1013]

Welcome home, James. Great to have a new video from you today.

[@casvind3116]

Hi James, love your videos! The medicube device uses electroporation technology (short high-voltage pulses) to enhance permeability of your skin products. The device vibrate slightly with each pulse. I have also experienced sensitivity (red bumps) using this device on higher settings. With some adjustments, I have seen my skin care working better. It’s a great product, don’t underestimate the levels! Hope you reap the results!

[@VKat]

Does it cause facial fat loss?

[@juhnetmickerdy]

I love the byoma milky oil cleanser because it doesn’t break me out. I have very reactive skin and a lot of oil cleansers have broken me out. Smells like olive oil!

[@deecal4104]

That crayola spf gave such a nice glow ✨ maybe IrL it looks glittery but on camera just looks like LIFE!

[@Parrot5884]

I think it's worth pointing out that if you are using products that have evidence to back their efficacy (e.g. retinoids, salicylic acid, ascorbic acid, etc.) then using something to enhance the penetration is unnecessary. These ingredients have proven their ability to provide benefits without an extra machine to make them work. While getting ingredients to penetrate the skin is a well-known obstacle in getting things to work, that's what cosmetic chemists are for! In addition, if you enhance the penetration of a product that has been tested without that machine, then you can end up with major irritation.

[@IndigooceanOrg]

That Medicube Booster-H I know works from when I first started using it because it made my tretinoin seem like a higher strength than it was. It's harder to tell with serums because they are cumulative in effect and probably you feel nothing as a result of their penetration. But with tretinoin you feel the effects immediately, so using the device clearly 'boosts' those effects immediately. I had to stop using the device on Tretinoin nights until I was ready to go up to a higher level of Tret in general (from .025 to .05%). Now I use this regularly and won't bother going up to .1% Tret since I'm pretty sure I'm getting those effects with .05 by using this device, plus having my serums also work more effectively.
