Was thinking about this and here she goes coming in hot!!!! I’m already preparing for this transition. Whipping out my heavier products to rotate in!!! ❤️❤️❤️ thanks Susan
I love Paulas retinol, I mixed just one pump with my moisturizer when I started using it. Now I can use it four times a week directly on my skin without any irritation. Once a week The Ordinary lactic acid,, and the other two nights are just Krave GBR and moisturizer to maintain my skin barrier. My next purchase will be the Skinfix moisturizer based on your recommendation!
I noticed how much your melasma has faded! I thought it was beautiful before aswell, but awesome that you are getting the results that you want! That you so much for all of knowledge Susan.
The salicins in willow bark cannot be converted to salicylic acid on the skin, because the skin lacks the enzymes needed to do so. Therefore, willow bark extract does not have the same acne-busting, pore-exfoliating powers salicylic acid does. At best, the salicins in willow bark reduce inflammation and its associated redness and possibly have an antimicrobial effect.“green beauty” brands use willow bark extract as a natural replacement for salicylic acid, but the science shows that that is just not possible. Salicylic acid is a clinically proven, extremely important skin-clearing ingredient.
Hi I make herbal extracts and I have been wondering about this exact thing- would willow bark or meadowsweet extract contain salicylic acid? Sounds like no? What sort of enzymes would be necessary? Do you think a vinegar based extract would work vs. alcohol? Thanks
Susan- I have been a huge fan for years. You have taught me many things that I have passed on to friend and family and for that I thank you dearly. Lately it feels as if your sales and marketing of specific products and ingredients is less genuine and more “trend-based”. I feel as a long time subscriber, this is important to tell you. Although I still love and enjoy you and your content, I find myself having to get passed more buzzwords and “fluff” than years past. Wishing you the best in your career and hoping to see a little more real-ness!!! I love who you are without all the sponsorships and alterior motives !!! You really have been a catalyst in my self care journey!
I started using the Drunk Elephant retinol for my stretch marks, but I need to repurchase...would you recommend the Paula's Choice retinol over Drunk Elephant? They both stretch my budget, so I want to make sure I get the best benefit for my buck! Thanks ❤️
Hi Susan, would you say that, using a Salicylic acid cleanser (from the inkeylist) is okay if I’m using tret at the same night? I have a combination oily/acneic skin but leaning towards dry during winter (from Canada here and our winter months are notoriously cold and windy… super drying). Also, wouldn’t be too much if I use lactic acid on the days I don’t use my tret? Obvious I wouldn’t be using my BHA cleanser, I alternate it with my Cerave cleanser cream to foam. Other serums I use are Argireline and Tranexamic acid then Cerave moisturizing cream. Thanks :)
I love Clinique Take the Day Off! It's probably my favourite cleansing balm: it's so simple, so easy to use, affordable and fragrance free! I wish SkinFix was available in the UK though, I have been wanting to try it since you and Hyram reviewed it.
That Kosas lip balm is the bomb!!! I got it in Boxycharm and ordered 2 extra!!! Daytime and nighttime!!! Question… I use Glow Recipes avocado retinoid sleeping mask. That should be my last step right?
I think in a video Susan says to go off of your decades. So if you’re in your 20s use a Retinol/retinoid twice a week. If you’re in your 30s do it 3x a week and so on
I made the mistake of using the Paula Choice retinol my first time using retinol ever and I put 3 pumps on my face three times a week. My face burned for a week. I learned my lesson and now only use 1 pump once a week 😬
Because of you in purchases the Ali fix products and I’m in love . I have dry skin and fall/win te rid coming i now have the perfect cleanser and moisturizer form skin fix 💙💙💙💙
What is your nail color? It's lovely! And thank you for your preemptive video. I struggle with dry, peeling skin in winter and using philosophy hope in a jar does me wonders. (also at sephora)
What do you recommend for little closed comedones? I tried the Glow Recipe BHA toner and omg it broke me out so bad. I don't enjoy the PC toner either :(
Susan thank you so much for this video I am here for it I will run out and especially get that moisturizer such a great video such amazing content and the topic I appreciate you keep videos like these coming
I love a good lip balm in my nighttime routine. Right now I’m using a pink lip balm from Origins. I think it’s discontinued. But it’s a bit too expensive anyway and I don’t think I would spend that much money on a lip balm today. I have one from Weleda as well and works equally well - for a quarter of the money. I can recommend both, they’re both awesome: one application before bed and you wake up with smooth lips in the morning. 👍 👍
Biossance is being incredibly misleading when they refer to that toner as a BHA toner. Willow bark is NOT the same thing as salicylic acid. Willow bark extract does contain phenolic compounds and is anti inflammatory but it is not the same as salicylic acid, which is the metabolized version of salicin (salicin is in willow bark). That’s like YTTP calling a serum a caffeine serum except there is no caffeine present in the formula; just tea extracts that contain caffeine. Not the same.
I understand what you're saying about willow bark but what's the issue in using caffeine from tea extract/leaves? Caffeine is caffeine irrespective whether it comes from tea or coffee when it comes to consumption, what's the difference with skincare?
I loooooove the Clinique cleansing balm! It works so so well. I just don’t like the price! I don’t like to spend a lot of money on my cleansing products 🥴 but this video is influencing me to go back to it because I do truly love it, and that’s what matters right?! 😅
I have been making a list for fall skin purchases and the caudalie serum was on it!! That’s why I was so happy to see this video uploaded. I was going to add the Dr. Dennis Gross IPL serum and I couldn’t figure out if I would put it on before the caudalie serum or after? Since it’s jam packed with acids.
Is it enough to remove the eye make up with cleansing balm only? You didnt wash ur eyes with face wash ,, my eyes still have some make up after the cleansing balms so i wash it with face wash is that bad?
Hello from Finland! I have really dry and sensitive skin (excema) with clogged pores. What would be a really good all year round basic skincare for morning and night? I don’t use makeup on my skin at all, if I do make up its just my mascara and brows. I am really bad at skincare and have always just focused on moisture, so I have no idea about how to get clogged pores better. But I am also very scared at just trying products because usually that ends up with me having a reaction. And because my barrier is always a little loose as Susan shows in the video, it takes a long time for my skin to recover from a bad reaction. I would love to know what Susan and everyone thinks is good for my routine. Love and support to all from Finland! 💜💜💜
wait you say that 1% is the highest over the counter but I've seen many over-the-counter products like your skincare line with 2%? Can someone explain?
i'm always confused with the "nourishing" effect, does it mean the ingredients have antioxidant benefits? i get hydrating humectants, moisturizing oils, replenishing nmfs and etc, anyone?
Can we just have a dupe for that skinfix moisturizer? It is so expensive. Does anyone know of a good moisturizer that is a little less than the skinfix?
I am obsessed with the skin fix! But yes, it is pricey. So when I was going thru almost every product of hers, I realized how close the Naturium plant ceramide moisturizer is to the skin fix! Ounce for ounce, it’s half the price & almost as lovely.
So when am I supposed to use lactic acid and retinol? I have the kiehls retinol in the purple bottle. I also predominately use Paula’s choice products (antioxidant serum, azelaic acid & c 15 booster - cleanser and spf moisturizer and the clear skin hydrator for night
I also just bought the strivecten firm and bright serum (to replace Paula’s choice c15 as I ran out). I’m just kind of lost with my routine and wondering what I need and what I don’t need. I’m a little lost I have oily skin and I’m 27
i have a 16 and 20 year old.. are they too young to use the retinol from paula's choice? i personally use curology.. they have some occasional acne but nothing crazy.. thanks!
The Paula's Choice retinol is quite strong for a first retinol. The La Roche Posay Redermic retinol is a great first retinol. It isn't irritating at all but, if it's too drying, they can apply it over their moisturiser.
@@veronicaivanova thank you.. maybe i'll let the 20 year old give it a go... one person mentioned 16 might be too young and i think i agree... but thanks for the alternative retinol option ;)
Willow bark doesn’t exfoliate. You actually have to ingest it for it to become salicylic acid but otherwise it’s not exfoliating or anything like that. It’s just bull crap marketing.
Omg I didn't know what you were referring to so I did some searching. Wow. Totally sketchy and makes me view Susan differently for sure. I don't buy influencer brands in general but I don't care if they have them. This was just not okay though.
I love how consistent you are with your videos…I’m an addict😂

her cheekbones are out of this worldddd

Watching this even though I probably won't be doing any transitions for fall until probably October lol, gotta love the deep south 😅
I started using the Drunk Elephant retinol for my stretch marks, but I need to repurchase...would you recommend the Paula's Choice retinol over Drunk Elephant? They both stretch my budget, so I want to make sure I get the best benefit for my buck! Thanks ❤️
Love all these products! Seeing you use them makes me feel like I'm on the right track! Thanks Susan!!! 😊
The retinol is no joke, but i've used it for 2 years now and it's amazing!
That’s some commitment Cody!
This is awesome Susan! I was actually just thinking about how soon it’ll be fall in NY and this came at the perfect time for me!!!
I love the skinfix cream and Paula’s retinal too!
That lipid cream looks amazing for a nighttime routine
So excited to watch this! Ty for another routine Susan 💞
I’ll be sticking with my Naturium Rich Moisture Cream this fall/ winter! 🥰

I'm with you Susan, I already reviewing at my products. This is just so timely! 😎💜
Do you recommend retinol for younger people? I am 22 and just wondering when you start a retinol?! 😁
Never too early to start! Do what makes you and your skin happy!
I think in a video Susan says to go off of your decades. So if you’re in your 20s use a Retinol/retinoid twice a week. If you’re in your 30s do it 3x a week and so on
Check out Jennifer Myers’ channel. She started retin a (prescription, I believe) at 22 & is about 37 now. :)
I started retinol products at 20! It was just a calming skin routine for undergrad. I say go for it!
Susan, what lip color are you wearing? It is gorgeous 😍
I made the mistake of using the Paula Choice retinol my first time using retinol ever and I put 3 pumps on my face three times a week. My face burned for a week. I learned my lesson and now only use 1 pump once a week 😬
La Roche Posay's Redermic Retinol is a great first retinol, if you're still on the market for it.
@@veronicaivanova good to know. Thanks!
Because of you in purchases the Ali fix products and I’m in love . I have dry skin and fall/win te rid coming i now have the perfect cleanser and moisturizer form skin fix 💙💙💙💙
I just recently bought the SkinFix moisturizer, and I LOVE it so far!
What nail colour do you have on?😍
Can you use the Sunday Riley product while pregnant?
What is your nail color? It's lovely! And thank you for your preemptive video. I struggle with dry, peeling skin in winter and using philosophy hope in a jar does me wonders. (also at sephora)
Naturism is literally my favorite skin care brand just ordered more from Amazon since I ran out😍
What do you recommend for little closed comedones? I tried the Glow Recipe BHA toner and omg it broke me out so bad. I don't enjoy the PC toner either :(

Love that toner application idea!
do you have a video about mixing actives and retinol? i always thought they shouldn't be used together. help!
good timing for SLC - it’s cold and rainy this week! 😩
My hobbies include counting how many times Susan says ‘truly’ in each video
When we say all skin type are we also including malassezia prone skin types? Asking for myself and others ♥
I just bought that Skinfix lipid cream at Sephora! 🎉
You have such a beautiful skin.
What retinol do you recommend for sensitive skin?
EXCELLENT skincare products to choose from. Also, hyloronic acid is great in the fall too.❤😉
Can you please try One, Two, Free? I really love it and curious what you think!
Glad to see your review on PC 1% Retinol as I have just ordered it !

Willow bark sounds irritating. Anything that isn't a pure substance like flower extracts as well
Seriously , it’s just marketing . Good for you paying attention . Over paying on products that are misleading is so wasteful and irritating!
I haven’t liked anything we have tried from YTTP
I understand what you're saying about willow bark but what's the issue in using caffeine from tea extract/leaves? Caffeine is caffeine irrespective whether it comes from tea or coffee when it comes to consumption, what's the difference with skincare?

Do you need to double cleanse when you don't wear makeup???
I have been making a list for fall skin purchases and the caudalie serum was on it!! That’s why I was so happy to see this video uploaded. I was going to add the Dr. Dennis Gross IPL serum and I couldn’t figure out if I would put it on before the caudalie serum or after? Since it’s jam packed with acids.
Susan your video always made my day. Wonder when is naturium going to provide int l shipping?
Is it enough to remove the eye make up with cleansing balm only? You didnt wash ur eyes with face wash ,, my eyes still have some make up after the cleansing balms so i wash it with face wash is that bad?
This was amazing, you are so gorgeous and gracious!! This is exactly what I need in NC transition to Fall , Loves 💕

What about a transition from summer to fall/winter for oily skin or acne prone skin?!
I see Susan, I click, simple
My I use TO resveratrol with Vichy Vit C ampoules in the morning? thank you.
Still waiting for summer here in the UK!
Can we just have a dupe for that skinfix moisturizer? It is so expensive. Does anyone know of a good moisturizer that is a little less than the skinfix?
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream is a favorite of mine for winter, its great for sensitive skin, very moisturizing
I am obsessed with the skin fix!
But yes, it is pricey.
So when I was going thru almost every product of hers, I realized how close the Naturium plant ceramide moisturizer is to the skin fix!
Ounce for ounce, it’s half the price & almost as lovely.
Biossance Omega Repair cream
Elf happy hydration is such a good one !
No change in Florida weather, but good product recommendations.
Right, just keeps getting hotter and more humid :-(
I looooveeeee your nail polish Susan!!! Can u share it? 🤩🤩🤩🤩

I love these videos!
So when am I supposed to use lactic acid and retinol?
I have the kiehls retinol in the purple bottle. I also predominately use Paula’s choice products (antioxidant serum, azelaic acid & c 15 booster - cleanser and spf moisturizer and the clear skin hydrator for night
I also just bought the strivecten firm and bright serum (to replace Paula’s choice c15 as I ran out). I’m just kind of lost with my routine and wondering what I need and what I don’t need. I’m a little lost
I have oily skin and I’m 27
Should I use at night first lactic acid and then hyaluronic acid, or the opposite? Does someone knows ? I always struggle with the order
Usually lactic acidosis first. You can apply the hyaluronic acid before your moisturizer. The moisturizer seals in the HA.
i have a 16 and 20 year old.. are they too young to use the retinol from paula's choice? i personally use curology.. they have some occasional acne but nothing crazy.. thanks!
i heard it’s good to start in your 20s so I wouldn’t think a 16 year old would use retinol. Don’t take my word for it tho haha
The Paula's Choice retinol is quite strong for a first retinol. The La Roche Posay Redermic retinol is a great first retinol. It isn't irritating at all but, if it's too drying, they can apply it over their moisturiser.
@@5uava409 sounds reasonable haha.. thanks!!

Me watching in Florida weather🥲🥲
How many of these products are used in your AM routine? Or are the AM products completely different?
too bad we can't get skinfix products in Europe
Can you do a skincare routine from summer to fall with your product.
Willow bark doesn’t agree with me or my family / it breaks us out .. Give us some regular salicylic acid to make things work .
"Weather changes gradually" my ass. In the spring I literally went from my fall coat to a bikini withing a week. It was that insane of a shift.
It's already cold in Germany :/
Ja richtig weird zwar erst August aber friere jetzt schon.
Yaaasss!!!😃😍😇🥰😭❤️♥️❤️✨✨✨💫
❤️👏
I don’t even know why I’m here. It’s so hard for me to trust you since last year. Idk if what you’re showing is genuine.
