Chatting, trialing, and reviewing skincare, plus, unlearning skincare rules along the way. My skin obsession started in my teens at the Clinique counter (to explain my channel name, haha).
Double Cleansing: Cream & Micellar
Skincare is a very personal thing, so I'm not suggesting this sequence of doubling cleansing is best. It is a method that has worked out well for me in terms of maximizing hydration and barrier care. I still use other cleansers throughout the week, this routine is my most common cleansing scenario.
Oh and BTW I usually use reusable/washable cotton rounds, I just had a regular one in this video cause they were in the wash, haha.

Why I'm Defending La Mer & Miracle Broth 😊
Просмотров 674День назад
La Mer and Miracle Broth, as much a mythical part of skincare history as it is a functional skincare product. And probably quite a polarizing brand. I don't know if La Mer is worth the price. I can just tell you I buy into the brand once or twice a year, and have been doing so for many years. As far as luxury brands go, I think La Mer is one that backs it up. My IG: sambythecounte...

Top 10 Trending Skincare: Peptides
Просмотров 726Месяц назад
Peptides are kind of a confusing skincare category as there are so many types that target different things. Although they have been around for ages, I think they’re only just starting to enter proper public awareness.

Best Multi-Purpose Cleanser Face & Body - Prequel Gleanser
Theramid delivers to the US so you can get Azid here.
If i wear an spf i cant get it off with a cream cleanser. Instead i use a gently foaming cleanser
Whatever works best for you is the way to go. 🙌
Love the ordanairys cream glicolipid clenser i actually just bought a new one and short story was i bought that clenser and was in the shopping centre called the glen at glen Waverley i had the cleanser with me and i went into a really good Korean skincare shop with all you could want in skincare products and i left my clenser on the counter as id brought other products there didn't find out till i got home had to go back the next day wear they had passed my clenser onto lost property 😂😂😂didn't want to be without it love the coconut aroma from it and it does a really good job.are the French cleansers expensive to perchase and have shipped to you have seen this brand and just allways thought no maybe not to expensive after taxes and all .is it available in Australia at all .thank you for this utube video i do love a cream clenser being older need norshing ingredients in products
The coconut scent is really nice 😍
Thanks Sam. I use the bioderma micellar water ( pink bottle), followed by the La Roche Posay Caring wash ( I think it’s called the hydrating cleanser in the US). I think/ believe it is very slightly less hydrating (?) than the dermo cleanser they make , but it’s still hydrating and definitely does not strip the skin at all. Slightly milky. Definitely was something I had to get used to when switching to a milky, hydrating cleanser. It made the world of difference to my skin! I have dry, dehydration prone skin ( partially due to health issues, or worsened by health issues), so it’s particularly important for me!
🤩🙌
Interesting. Never thought about it this way.
What exactly are the ingredients? I can’t find them listed anywhere.
The ingredients for Lotion P50? There are different formulations for different skin issues, the one I use is the regular version for seborrheic skin, keratinized skin, and/or breakouts. The INCI is this: WATER (AQUA), GLUCONOLACTONE, LACTIC ACID, GLYCERIN, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, NIACINAMIDE, CITRIC ACID, ETHOXYDIGLYCOL, MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE, MALIC ACID, COCHLEARIA ARMORACIA (HORSERADISH) ROOT EXTRACT, ARCTIUM LAPPA ROOT EXTRACT, RUMEX ACETOSA LEAF EXTRACT, MYRTUS COMMUNIS EXTRACT, ALLIUM CEPA (ONION) BULB EXTRACT, COMMIPHORA MYRRHA RESIN EXTRACT, PHYTIC ACID, SALICYLIC ACID, SULFUR, THYMUS VULGARIS (THYME) FLOWER/LEAF OIL, VINEGAR (ACETUM), SORBITOL, SODIUM BENZOATE, PHENOXYETHANOL, POTASSIUM SORBATE, SODIUM BISULFITE.
@sambythecounter thank you 😊 I am a little worried about the thyme flower/leaf oil and the vinegar. Did you ever find it irritating? I have very sensitive skin and my skin hates a lot of stuff 😂
@@PsiChotic No, definitely not irritating. Just very replenishing. It is quite a low pH though. When I first started using it, it felt very spicy and tingly on the skin, but I never experienced actual irritation. The brand typically recommends that most people start using P50W which is a little less strong. And they sell mini 50mL bottles which is a good size to start without a huge investment. Oh, and they recommend to stop retinoids and other acids like Vitamin C. Ideally for the full 50 days and then you can re-introduce stuff as tolerated. They also tend to offer a free consult service on their website which is worth doing so they can match you to the right P50 formula.
Thanks for doing this. I definitely need help with my melasma. I have used a few on here and they are good. But…looking for that miracle formula. Lately I have been considering Mother Science. Maybe I need to go back to thinking a little more. 😂. Thanks Sam
Thank you. I’ve used the regimen lab level serum and it is fantastic. Not a miracle worker ( of course), but definitely helped even out my skin tone and a few darker sunspots I had/ have. You have to be consistent with it- shortly after I stopped using it, I noticed the brightness of my skin diminished significantly. I found it also improved my general skin health. As for Azelaic acid- I swear every one should at least try it. It’s such a fantastic ingredient and helped ( I do NOT have acne or rosacea)- brightening, as well as reducing my skin overall sensitivity . I do have drey, dehydrated and sensitive skin at times and the combination of level and azelaic acid are wonderful . I use finacea 15% … we are so lucky to have it otc here in Australia. Of course I tried azclear but … well it’s not the nicest and the finacea works better too
Yesss, Finacea is a much nicer texture!!
Great explanation, you made a complicated topic easy to understand
My Tretenoin costs $15. Ill stick to that and use The Ordinary and K Beauty lotions and still save hundreds!
I am disturbed by how accurate this is
😂
What's all the stuff in the cupboard behind you?
Storage of other skincare/body products.
La Mer cream is the only moisturizer that allows me to use tretinoin without irritation.
Make sure you've tried it or don't talk about it - I absolutely agree
I agree with you, I use variety of products expensive and Clcheap, but whenever my skin has conditions from allergies or sun or anything, I use la mer and it works overnight. Also on my kids skins too since they are babies
Love the matt cream from the line used others from the line but like the matt cream the most .
The matte lotion is a great one!!
Yessss to all of this!!!
Pissen down peoples backs tellin em it raining 😂🌧🌧 bit bit like ole Barbra sten run of the mill product for sky high prices 😂😂
Wow that’s crazy
I got one for free
👏👏👏
It looks like eye drops lol
😂
Have you had any issues with redness? Thanks for this video :)
Redness specifically from tret? Not really. At the very start it did make my skin more sensitized. But not really more red. My skin is naturally prone to redness though.
my skin hates sunscreen but found the only one that doesn't cause me breakouts: cetaphil sun spf 50 ultra light! have you tried it?
I haven't tried it myself, good to know though. I'll keep it in mind, thx :)
Good information, thank you
Informative review. Goals: a cabinet full of skincare like you have behind you 😂. Thanks for all your research ❤
Love my retrieve cream at the moment im wearing it with haunbang ginseng emulsion by history of whoo and my skin feels like silk 💋 I have used retin a for years.
Ooo what a combo!!
Do you put it on your neck
I tend to run it under my chin but not specifically on my neck. My neck is very prone to razor burn so I'm a bit afraid of trying it there.
Adapelene to tretinoin was a smooth transition !
For me too!!
Is the cleanser ok for tweens?
I would assume so, it's part of their gentle collection of products.
What is the science behind this.
As in NAG? It's known to weaken the bonds between cells allowing them to shed more easily. Basically encouraging natural desquamation rather than directly exfoliating.
@@sambythecounter so the fermentation of saccharomyces creates n-acetyl glucosamine? please educate me!
@@C4RYB34R I believe NAG is separately sourced from biotech fermentation and then The Ordinary blends that NAG with saccharomyces to create a different fermented by-product or "broth."
Thanks Sam! I prefer the new cicaplast. It doesn’t feel so… I can’t find the word . It spreads, feels and sits slightly nicer on the skin. Nicer texture. Definitely wouldn’t use it all over my face all the time tho- restricted to where it’s needed. I tried a sample of the Avene - from what I remember it felt too much like diaper rash cream 🫣 perhaps I should try again. I’m sure I will get some hate for that comment 🫣 it was a while ago tho, and I am super fussy with textures! Just for extra info- I have dry & dehydration prone skin and hate things feeling heavy on my skin.
Good to know, thx :)
Thank you!
Thanks Sam! Very informative
🥰
Ok… I’m sure I commented but apparently it’s disappeared or I accidentally deleted it whilst editing( likely!)… Thank you so much Sam- you summarised the key points amazingly & I’m sure many will understand it all now (if they hadn’t read or for some reason couldn’t understand it already 🤷♀️) And I agree with your personal views and thoughts Seriously, you summarised that fantastically.
🙌
Very well done!
🥰
Do you use your lotion p50 pre Tretinoin ? Thanks my friend
I rarely use them together - either P50 in the morning and tret at night. Or, I alternate days.
well that was dumb....jumping from 100 to 700 without trying the 300 is really nuts and any stinging would have been well deserved.....what an idiotic review
Hmm I'm not sure it's "idiotic" to not want to use such abrasive products on my skin, haha. But if they have worked out well for you, I'm happy to hear it.
@@sambythecounter read the comment......im referring to you jumping from using the 100 reedle shot to 700, and yes, you were idiotic for using the 700 without waiting to finish the 100and trying the 300 first......you are the one who is using these abrasive products willy nilly, not I
@@sambythecounter I am a skincare junky, and I like to try new things but this I bought the 100 and it broke me out and turned me red I went back to my regular monthly micro needling thanks for the vid :)
@@killer55187 Thanks for sharing :)
I’m using the 100 at night, it’s been 7 nights the change is significant in texture, even tone-redness is gone and my acne has calmed done so much! There is no way I could compare this product with a physical exfoliant like St Ives my skin barrier would be dead right away
I’ve been keen to try Naturium’s peptide serum. The thing holding me back is the packaging. I’ve heard it can be tricky to get the last third out and requires unscrewing the cap and digging for product and that drives me nuts. I would LOVE to see them use something like Theramid is using with the little silicone baggy inside that pumps out nearly every last drop without the need for unscrewing and digging.
Yes, it does become a struggle towards the end. Usually at the last third, you can shake the bottle around a bit and it starts pumping again. But definitely towards the very end you need to remove the pump for full access. Some brands overfill for their product to account for a bit of loss, but I've never asked them, and have never checked myself.
Thank you sam some good ones there i really injoyed the natrium peptides serum il be perchaseing again its great you can get every last bit out of the refection bottle with its scew off top i wonder what percentage the copper is in this one lovely product though
I'm not sure re: percentages but I think supplier efficacy data starts from as low 0.001% so you need very very little of the active.
Thanks Sam! Always love seeing these! I keep seeing the cosrx serum being mentioned lately. May I ask, what benefits you have personally seen? Peptides are absolutely incredible molecules and it’s not surprising they can benefit the skin if formulated correctly and/or able to ☺️ Thank you so much again Edit- I was fortunate enough to receive the ordinary amino acids + b5 serum as an apology gift. I found it so hydrating and soothing for my skin & would considering re-purchasing it. technically it’s chopped up peptides 😂 and this serum is of course mainly focused on hydration ☺️
I haven't tried the Cosrx product myself yet.
@@sambythecounter yes:) I heard that. I wondered l what improvement you have seen from any of the peptides you have tried ☺️ sorry if it wasn’t clear ☺️ reading over my comment It seems a bit jumbled or something! Apologies!! Typing on my phone too quickly!
@@paigeme886 I mainly use them as hydration ingredients, and to hopefully be acting in some form of skin signalling capacity over time. Kind of like forming part of an insurance policy, haha.
Thanks! Some of the price points are fairly shocking. Thank goodness there are mid range skin care companies!
Yes, great to have a range. 🙌
Did they release it yet?
20th june but they probs just sent it to him
June 20/June 21st depending on where you live/timezone.
I have no idea why but I've spent all this time thinking build was your brand lolol
People often think that because I love it so much. But nope, just a big fan, haha.
This video was so helpful and so interesting Sam - don’t you worry about that! The only bad thing will be my decreasing bank balance when I buy everything you talked about 🤭
Haha thank you for watching :)
