[@AlexandraEHartman]

I love this term: comfort youtuber!

[@littlevoice_11]

I would love to see a home tour, your style is so effortlessly classy. I always wonder what it is like behind the scenes.

[@laurieseiler5708]

I have been peeling from tretinoin for two years. I have tried everything--using 1-3 times a week, using moisturizer under it, using snail mucin under it, mixing it with moisturizer, but continued to peel. Until Pyunkang Yul-Black Tea Enriched Cream!! I am so very grateful for this recommendation. It is incredibly nourishing and hydrating and I am no longer peeling at all! I use it in the am and pm and it's not too heavy. I am now using tret every night with no irritation. Thank you so much for your wonderful content--you are the best!

[@erinkizorek5826]

Gothamista, thank you so much for this video. I've been using my Saro de Rue x Gothamista Essence for months now, and I cannot live without it. Thank you for doing everything you do!

[@gothamista]

This makes me so so happy to know!! Thank YOU!

[@su5329]

I've never had thought about your age...you are 52? Thats the final proof your doing very well with your skincare routine. Greetings from Germany

[@shengvue]

I just got The Ordinary moisturizer and I love it. My face is oily but so dehydrated and I've had such a hard time finding something that I like. I've already bought a few for my family as well. Thank you.

[@emkn1479]

I LOVE that Ordinary moisturizer. It’s really rich but almost has a watery quality when I fully mix it in. It’s a winner.

[@sirtsupirtsu]

2 of my favorite brands mentioned in this video - Geek & Gorgeous and Mary & May. :) I am a fan of G&G retinal, have been using it basically every PM for last couple of years. And their Jelly Joker is a cleanser I will continue to buy until it is produced. Mary & May - I like and use their serums - especially I like the Blackberry & Idebenone serum - it has so nice texture - so light, with just a tiny bit of oiliness in it, yet it absorbs so well and you cannot feel any layers in your skin - ideal for a person who likes to use multiple products, different serums in a routine.. Their lotion however is a different story - sooo unpleasantly scented for my nose, like old perfume and cause me migraine.

[@gothamista]

Jelly Joker is seriously underrated, it's really been a staple of mine too. I also keep discovering more from Mary & May to love!

[@beauty_enthusiast]

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned - I absolutely love your essence. It’s beautiful and I hope if it’s ever discontinued you’ll give us a heads up so we can purchase several backups😊

[@gothamista]

Aww thank you!! So happy you love and enjoy it as I do. Don't worry, I want to use this Essence forever so as long as I have a face, we should be fine!

[@parkedawn]

You are the person I trust the MOST when it comes to skincare! I love all the Korean skincare I purchased last fall from MÁRY AND MAY. I use a combination of affordable & expensive products, with serums and sunscreen my favorites. Thank you for sharing your thorough reviews.

[@rodneuer4600]

I have one week using your essence! and absolutely adore it!! My skin is more radiant and resilient! 🤍

[@ginafriend1690]

Hi Renee 🥰 I've missed you! Happy 2024! I'm listening to you. I bought 6 Mary&May skincare products and I'm loving it! Thank you dear ❤ ☺️ I love your smiles. Cute ending 😄

[@gothamista]

HNY to you! Ah so good to know, I'm so impressed with Mary & May, I keep discovering more things I love - like their masks! Big hugs

[@NaturalWorld253]

It’s like having a chat with an old friend, I have been watching this channel for quite a while. The products she recommends always work well for my skin. My skin is very fair and will show even the slightest redness like a neon sign.

[@playsintraffic2]

Taking notes as always. So happy to see some of my favorites in the list.

[@bunnyblue3082]

At least 5 product have made it on my wishlist. I am also dedicated to Medik8 Crystal Retinal. However, I had to go back to 1 and now advaced up to 3 again, as my skin over the past year had such a change that I suddenly had to cut out almost all actives because my skin had become so sensitive (it's probably age and hormones). What I really learned is that I have to switch things up if need be. I check daily what my skin needs and adjust skincare accordingly. You are a huge inspiration for well-aging and intuitive skincare! And I really look forward to your video on devices!

[@bridgetphillips7462]

Love your channel. I always come back here to quiet the hype. You started me on my skincare journey several years ago, and I'm still tuning in today. Thank you for the great content!

[@muiawat]

That nmf with phytocermindes looks amazing

[@mona.mona.radwan]

Such a great video!! I've watched a couple of times now and love your new insert showing you using the products while you continue to explain benefits!! Like the previous commenter, I've been watching you for over 5 years now--I have a little "Gothamista Notebook" to refer back to when I start your new routines with new products. Yes, I'm a total skincare geek, and your videos are so full of information about the products and techniques...SUPER HELPFUL!!. Can't wait for the AM routine!!! Happy New Year!

[@Kyriaki_Ltr]

Could you please make a video with the face massage you do during your skincare routine?

[@Monsoonseason814]

Love your robe, Rene, so calming 😌

[@gailp5892]

THE END ~ LOLOLOL!!

[@playsintraffic2]

Okay, watching the second time. Do you use CAIS and tret on the same nights?

[@gnparticle]

The colour of the Ranavat cleansing balm…already looks like it is fit for royalty’!!!!

Love your essence, and it's my favorite essence, too! I was looking for a lip treatment and I'm happy you posted this :)

I wish more brands had different strengths of retinol/al.

[@AlexandraEHartman]

Some goooood picks this video! As always. I’m excited to try the fancy cleansing balm cus I find if I don’t have a luxurious one, I just won’t do my routine. And I need to restock on your essence, which I love! I’m also tempted to try the Rhode lipid toner but I’m so suss about celeb skincare brands.

[@abcdefghijklmnnvd2758]

You got me hooked on Mary and May and my skin has never looked so plump. Also, might their tranexamic eye cream may be one of the best I've tried. Thank you and now I'm going to list some of the other brands you reviewed for me to try next. Being almost mid-40s has seriously weirded out my skin 🙃

That will be up next so this is perfect timing!

[@tanietang8941]

@@gothamistaThank you!❤

[@beeg1549]

I wish Geek & Gorgeous called their brand something better, and that their brand was less cutesy. Their formulas are so sophisticated and I think their packaging, name, brand look should match the same sophistication and wonderful formulas!

[@laynaaa]

You have a point! It took me ages to try the brand simply because I was put off by the name😅

[@gothamista]

I get what you're saying. There really is a disconnect with how sophisticated, thoughtful and elegant these formulas are with the branding which seems less serious than the formulas.

[@beeg1549]

Thank you for your response, Renée! maybe you could convey this to the brand as I've seen even a few big "skinfluencers" on instagram refrain from using the brand due to this issue and I do understand the pov as it's just nicer to use products that look and sound good and smart instead of cute/childish. I think they might be losing out on a big market and some sales which is such a shame cause they're so lovely. they don't need to invest in more pricey packaging- even just an aesthetic/design rebrand might help them grow a lot bigger! of course it's all up to the brand though🙂 @@gothamista
