Whilst there is a lot of literature in the myth of reef safe sunscreen, I always share Michelle aka Lab Muffin and Jen from The Eco Well’s posts as I feel they break down the science well for us non scientists! Without dumbing it down too much!
IS YOUR SUNSCREEN KILLING CORAL REEFS. THE SCIENCE : labmuffin.com/is-your-sunscreen-killing-coral-the-science-with-video/
Zinc Oxide sunscreens also aren’t ‘reef safe’:

I’m a big Scarlett Johansson fan, and even I haven’t bought her skincare yet. I’m using Tret, so I want the best of the best for my skin.
Pleaseee review Earth Harbor!!! It’s the first brand that has actually worked for me!!! I’d like to hear your opinion!Love the channel ❤️✌🏾
@@Lovecrunch30 That's a heavily "clean beauty" focused brand. They even use the same "reef safe" marketing language that James complained about in the video.
@@TsubataLately 🤷🏾♀️ it works for me. I get there’s no “clean beauty” I tried it on whim after seeing it in the store and it works.
Thank you so much James! 🥰
Know what I would love as a nut allergy sufferer is an actual warning for nut oils in products! My friend with a more severe allergy than me literally can’t use conditioner or moisturiser as she is so sensitive ( to cherry pit oils too often used instead or along with nut oils) forget “clean” or vegan or any thing else allergy marking is essential!
Right?! An actual useful allergy warning!
Absolutely! My son has anaphylaxis to nuts and it’s risky business. He has same problem with Kiwi and it’s being used a lot too.
The Outset is nut free. I am allergic to nuts and The Outset is the only brand I can use. Their products are really nice. I look at their “clean” marketing as being free of the most common irritation causing ingredients.
YES! This should be a requirement! Nut allergies can be deadly.
I've got anaphylaxis with cucumbers so I've had to read and learn ingredients from a young age. I think it made me more interested in learn what all the other ingredients were as well.
We have to be careful with nut oils too as my son is allergic to cashews and hazelnuts. (I make sure my chocolate has hazelnuts in it so he can't steal it on me. As long as he doesn't eat it, it's fine, I can have it in the house type thing thankfully).
A company should not drop you off their PR list because you told the truth. Did they want you to lie ? They obviously do not watch your content, because you tell the truth. You don’t say it’s bad for everyone. You only say it didn’t work on you. What does that say about that company?
So true
Exactly.
Most likely it means they aren't open for more improvement
It makes me immediately mistrust the companies that do that.
Yeah it’s disappointing to hear some brands aren’t open to feedback. Sounds mature.
Me squinting at your thumbnail every time you post one of these worried I've bought a dud 🤨
😆
Hi James! I think it would be fun to have an ''emergency survival skincare kit'' kind of video! You know, something were you recommend what you think would be essentials available in drugstores if we were stranded without skincare :') I absolutely did not went far away for a month forgetting my skincare pack at home 😅
Cleanser, moisturizer and spf for sure!!
@@froggywithaknife7292 I would like to know his picks on them!
Oh yes, I have times where I just can't manage skin care and after those I need to dig my skin out of the hole I left it in... Emergency kit fo sho..
Oh this is a fantastic idea!! I love it!! 💗
Also, a "beginners" staryer kit like some of the cosmetics creators have posted in the past, perhaps divided into a couple different skin types.
He has a video on drugstore products if you're just starting out etc, just not an "emergency survival skincare kit" type video.
✨☺️skin care is all about progression over perfection🌸✨
👹because perfection doesn’t exist 👹
😂😂😂😂
Yup
I gravitated towards Byoma’s gel cream because it I was bored of using Cerave PM and wanted something similar but that packed more of a punch. As Cerave’s moisturisers are so highly praised, I can’t imagine why Byoma’s wouldn’t be either; they’re very similar, and products don’t need to be “glamorous” to be the most efficacious.
Thank you so much for bringing to the forefront that stuff like "reef safe" and "derstologist tested" claims don't really mean anything. I think that brands need to be honest with what is real and what isn't like you say. And with celebrities who randomly put out products 🙄 it makes me roll my eyes and good to see an influencer who brings this to light!
i don't mean to be rude or anything but it's "dermatologist" :)
@@windyy48 - It’s probably just a spelling error they seem to be pretty literate
who cares about the typo?! i understood it,obviously so did you... so what's the point of correcting people all of the time?except making yourself feel better/smarter even if you don't have a reason for that whatsoever. and asuming that everybody's first language is english..... like,i won't use google just to write something 100% correctly on english for sure. people,stop doing that!
@@savagequeen3798 they weren't rude plus don't assume that english is everybody's first language
@@notamemethememe589 i am always asuming that bc english is not my 1st language and honestly,i am tired of people trying to correct a TYPO while people are actually trying hard to speak some other language... it is a damn typo,you understood what person wanted to say so shut up and move on. and let me see you trying to speak some other language before you correct somebody😑
I’m with you. I’m so completely not interested in any celebrity anything. Especially “skin care”. I just want something that works great on my skin & for myself I like it to smell really good (lightly scented). That’s it.
Byoma is such a nice brand! I love their clarifying serum, perfect for sensitive but acne-prone skin. And the mist is really lovely too. Their rich cream is great as a night cream 😌
The patterned blazer and the tiny wisps of gray hair at the crown? Just casually slaying for no reason. Love it.
We love to see it
REM is just very late with their launches. These skincare "trends" have already passed. Like you mentioned, the eye primer is clearly inspired by the Becca foundation which was a "viral" product. The eyelash serums also became trendy products very fast, but I don't see people caring about them anymore. This is the problem with trying to stay on trend, why not just formulate great timeless products. Waste of time and money.
It takes time to get products made, so by the time they started n it was ready to launch the trend was already over..
Agreed. Her line looks boring tbh nor do I really think of Ariana Grande when I think makeup or skincare I think ponytails and baby doll clothes 🤷🏽♀️
You Don't have follow the trend
I’ve just started with Byoma and loving them already! Glad you approve 😂❤️
From my core, from my soul, from my toes… I truly believe that everything you do is magic. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face.
Honestly, both Roberts and your channels are the only channels I watch consistently. I love you guys🤍
I love the statement, "they are nice products, but a lot of things are nice."
😂😂😂
This is quote is funny and we have the same first name🥰
Thank you for saying something about reef safe sunscreens. It annoys me too especially since I’m a biochemist and my friends (who I know have the best interest of the environment at heart) who did nothing related to my field think it’s okay to talk over me when I trying an explain how the research is really flawed and wasn’t peer reviewed.
Literally every scientist is saying the same thing but I feel like people choose to not listen because buying ‘reef safe’ sunscreen makes them feel like they’re doing something good 😅
I think it's a tricky marketing thing. People ARE worried about the environment but they don't feel like they can influence corporations or governments, and they buy into the propaganda that it's individual actions ruining the planet. They want to do good and companies sell them the illusion of that. I wasn't sure at first about reef safe sunscreen as I hadn't looked into it (I am having a years long existential crisis at this point and don't always have energy to look up more things to be worried about), but it struck me as a way to blame people for ruining reefs when it's likely large corporation activity, polluting, and other major factors like climate change. But yeah lemme feel guilty about wearing sunscreen to the beach.
I feel your pain. I’m a skincare enthusiast with a M.Sc in Biomedical science, the concept that ‘natural’ ingredients are not ‘chemicals’ is such nonsense. People would rather believe marketing than do any actual research or read a peer reviewed paper.
this makes me feel 100% better that reefs are not being harmed by sunscreen thank you for your comment
I love Byoma’s hydrating mist to rehydrate while I’m doing makeup. It’s really nice & hydrating
Byoma is working out really well for me. The lighter moisturizer and hydrating serum are very nice. The formulation is very elegant.
same
Never heard of Byoma, but maybe I'll try them out if I see them in store!
Also, I wish more companies would make and sell full test kits like a lot of Korean brands do, because I hardly see any and I don't want to shell out for full sizes when I don't even know if it's for me!
Really love the Etude House kits 😊
Yeahhh that’s a good point! I feel like every korean brand do it but barely any western
And if western brands do it, it’s 1/3 the size for 2/3 the price of the full size product.
Those small sets are also great for travelling
Now I'm interested in the Byoma Cream Jelly cleaner.
I tend to, or my skin tends to like products w/licorice root extract. I'll give it a go.
I hope you like it! I really am enjoying their cleanser and moisturizer.
@@MissimoCat Yes! I wish they'd not only make test kits, but also price them fairly.
If you don't like it it's essentially a waste, unless you can give it to someone else.
Travel kits usually focus on a few essential items, usually not including the entire set like the test kits, so it's often not enough when the products work best together! 😩
The packaging on the Laneige blue line is so cute, it reminds me of the AirPods cases 🙌🏽 love the anti-haul and haul format!
I really appreciate you featuring a brand despite not accepting the sponsorship opportunity.
You’re hands down the best skincare RUclipsr 🥰 always funny and informed about products, and you always manage to brighten my day ☀️ Thank you James!
I’m loving the Byoma moisturizer and hydrating serum. I started using them during a skin breakout/reaction and they were so great that I continue to use them. Great products at great prices.
My skin is terrible for breakouts and since I’ve been watching you and also hyram I’ve noticed a massive difference In my skin! So thank you
Miss Grande woke up one morning wanting a brand, and had one slapped together by midday........ Is what it looks like.
TRULY!!! the makeup too all of it looks like a rushed mess w 0 thought just like oh make it look spacey and futuristic like what
Been loving your when beauty goes wrong videos. But always love any of yours and Robert's videos 🥰🖤💜
I love your product reviews! It's nice to hear your thoughts on items. I was introduced to many great skincare items by watching your videos. Keep up the great work James. We love you. ♡
Byoma did actually really help my skin, because it was simple and I enjoyed using it so much
😂😂😂 um, i cant remember the last time i smiled... laughed. Life has been um [swears insane amounts], but you James actually make me forget life and everything else! THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Your personality, humour and morals, and and everything about you is absolutely wonderful. I have been binge watching all your videos the past few days and have absolutely no idea why i didn't do it sooner. Pretty sure you saved me this week💕💕
I love Laneige products but, they're so heavily perfumed my skin breaks out. I wish they made fragrance free products.
Personally I love the scents, and I recently ordered a kit of 4 different lip masks simply because I love all the different scents (in addition to the formul)! 😂
@@Zeverinsen the lip masks are the best! I don't have a problem with those, only the facial skin care products.
I agree. I have Seborrheic Dermatitis. All, fragrance that I have tried, makes my face red and angry.
You’re giving us “Oh, this old Chanel jacket?” rich bitch realness in this shirt
James, and I’m 100% here for it 🔥
Love love love these videos, that way I can have an idea on what to try next.... Looking forward for a review on the new Glow Recipe Strawberry salicylic acid serum 💗
Im really enjoying the simplicity of the Byoma range. Im loving a few drops of the Hydrating Serum in my moisturiser whilst im using my rosacea treatment. Keeps my skin barrier exactly where it needs to be.
Your integrity is off the charts and you were sooo smart with the cay beauty segment. Love your view on everything
I just love your videos! You are so easy to listen to, calming and happy! Not to mention teaching me something new! 😀❤️
I actually really like the Byoma skincare 😊 I saw it in boots last week and decided to try it out as some of my korean/ higher price skincare products are coming to the end of their shelf life and i'm noticing they aren't working great. I really love all of their products! I use the mist, serum and moisturiser with my paulas choice bha and azaelic acid, and i'm noticing my skin feels really moisturised compared with how dehydrated and dry it was feeling before. I think it probably may be better for drier skin types. I think it is very simple but I think sometimes people over complicate skincare too much so this one is great if you just want a simple routine. I like how they break down exactly what that item will do for your skin and when to use it in your routine. Would definitely recommend ❤️
I agree, I tried their rich moisturizer and for me it's a game changer. I have very dry skin and cerave just doesn't cut it for me, it's too drying 😅 for me, the texture and effect is somewhere in between Drunk Elephant Lala retro or F-balm, but the price is muuuuch more friendly. I repurchased it yesterday and ordered the mist as well, I look forward to trying it
@@JodieWay I have the rich moisturizer too! It's so good isn't, I often find that moisturizers tend to just soak into my skin in seconds and my face is just as dry as it was before 😂 but this one actually makes a difference> I agree, such an amazing price for the quality! The mist is lovely too 😊
@@jessicabriggs4204 same here! I apply it in the evening and wake up feeling like a sahara desert 😂 i was really looking for something a bit "greasier" (if that makes sense) and this one is awesome! 😁
I tried their cream in a bottle and it was a bit annoying to get the last bit out ( but that is just the reality of that packaging). I also tried one of the spray toners and it worked super well for me. Not sure it will be worth ordering it in because it isn’t absolutely near me in store but it was a nice option from the drugstore where I was ( I had better results with these products than any if the other products available. Maybe it isn’t the best option hands down)
I just tried byoma and I really appreciate that they list the ingredients. I realize I can get these ingredients anywhere but I really do love the serums because I really wanted something that was stripped down what I needed. If that makes sense. I needed to reset as you mentioned. Thank you!!
I'm actually really liking the Byoma moisturising gel cream! I use it on the same nights as my Paula's Choice exfoliator and Saturday Skin Yuzu sleep mask - they seem to work really well together and I'm seeing a big difference in my skin. That said, I use it on alternate nights, and on the nights in between that I still use the Glow Recipe watermelon glow toner and niacinamide with my Farmacy Honey Halo moisturiser. The whole routine seems to work really well for me and it's worked wonders.
The Yuzu Sleep Mask is just wonderful isn't it!
I was literally looking for a comment that combined the exfoliator and gel cream in one routine!! You saved me from searching further - thanks!! I’ve heard niacinamide shouldn’t be used with BHA’s but did you apply them back to back or wait between BHA application and moisturizer application?
@@imaanali8048 I've never had a problem using both, I use the BHA and leave it just a few minutes to sink in before using the Byoma gel, which is my niacinamide source on those nights. Same goes with the Glow Recipe toner and niacinamide, just 2 minutes or so for the toner to seep in and then I go to the niacinamide step. It's done me wonders!
@@KittyCat260 thank you for sharing!!
Skincare brands are these days the early 00's celebrities perfumes era...
I like it when James saves me my coins! Usually, anything celebrity related/owned makeup/skincare not interested.
Thank you, James! Byoma is one I'm interested in. Just checked out their website and was pleasantly surprised at the price factor. The products range in the $15 range and the trial kits are $18.
Yes! Just the video I need to watch while I get ready! 💕✨
I am loving this series, James!!!!
I've picked up some byoma. Three days in and I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. The moisturiser is actually really good for me, actually feels like it's doing something, I didn't get my face stuck to my pillow. Feel like my skin is looking brighter as a result of using a trio
Your videos make me smile so much. Love your personality.
I love how feisty you are today, James! To have the best chance of recycling, the plastic should be clear or white, so I have a lot of questions about the true recyclability of Byoma’s line.
Thank you for explaining your stance on reef safe. I was horrified when I originally heard about our sunscreen hurting the coral reefs so I have been very diligent to only use “reed safe” sunscreen for several years but I’m all about research is I will definitely be looking into the research that you have mentioned. I will say that “reef safe” sunscreen is MUCH better for kids to use. You can’t use sunscreen on babies under 6months UNLESS it doesn’t have those “harmful to reef” ingredients so I only use Zinc Oxide sunscreen on myself and my young children and if “reef safe” wasn’t a thing it would be significantly harder to find sunscreen that I feel is safe to put on my children.
Not really. Instead of focusing on reef safe SPF products look for kids/baby spf. Those are usually all mineral physical sunscreens with zinc/titanium dioxide. Not difficult to find at all and affordable at the drugstore. If anything, it’s easier to find than adult SPF because adults care more about cosmetic elegance (white cast, greasy feeling etc.). Kids are easier to buy for than adults.
@@cv7958 that’s only possible now because of the information people learned from the “reef safe” marketing. 10 years ago Zinc or titanium sunscreen for kids wasn’t really a thing. There was a brand or two and they left a horrible white cast. I don’t use adult sunscreen on my children. I use non nano zinc oxide or “reef safe” sunscreen that is made for kids.
The crazy thing is a few weeks ago I saw the BYOMA brand at my local Target and I was gonna try one of their products but something told me don’t do it until James does a review lol
‘Go ahead’ made me crack up 😂 I’m really annoyed at Tatcha with the spf because it seems like a great product to use for no make up make up days but $60! And I don’t know how effective the spf is gonna be with the type of product it is, there’s no way I’m gonna use enough in one application.
Also when I think an spf is expensive you feel reluctant to use too much, id much rather use a good value one I can just slap on
@@christopherbird2739 exactly!
Found this video while
Searching Byoma. I bought the tester pack after my skin just having some sort of meltdown and I found it really good resetting my skin, as you said. I bought a full size cleanser and it’s really good . Doesn’t dry my skin. I, too, wasn’t impressed with the moisturiser. I think it’s a good brand for beginners or to reset your skin if it’s suffering ! Thanks for your videos❤
i would love to see an updated video on your holy grails that have really helped with your rosacea! i love your content and i’ve been wanting to update my skincare routine and find products that can help with redness! 🥰
Thank you for another great video James! I’ve been waiting for your Byoma review since I saw it in Boots. Might try your recommendations from the brand as I need a skin reset!
I actually purchased The Outset and I have to say...I am IN LOVE with it. I got the Daily Essentials kit (cleanser, serum and moisturizer) and a little product goes a long way and my skin actually feels clean after using it. Not gross or tacky. Obviously everyone is entitled to their opinions and beliefs...but it's definitely not one those run of the mill celebrity products. It's quality and I love that they sell refills.
I really like the water bank moisturizer and night mask! I got tons of free samples at Sephora and not only has it lasted me months, it leaves that lightweight gel feel but I wake up and can feel that it did it’s job and glows! It’s really nice.
The eye twitch and sarcasm when reading the rem under eye cream description 🤣🤣 I love it
YAAASSSS! This is so fun! Get whatever the hell you want 🤣🤣 love it! ♥️
I bought the Clarifying and Hydrating serums by Byoma at Target after a skincare product absolutely trashed my barrier and I had a bad eczema breakout on my chin and neck. Neither serum caused any stinging and when I added them to my go-to routine for treating eczema/damaged barrier (mostly La Roche-Posay, CeraVe, Aveeno, and CosRx products) my skin healed up quickly. I particularly liked the clarifying serum and was impressed by the fact that it truly caused no irritation of stinging, even on my pretty dang damaged skin. (I do actually love the packaging too, and the price-point is nice for what you get...I think each serum was
The Byoma clarifying serum is really nice. Helps my combo acne-prone skin
You look quite dashing today hon..💜 I couldn't imagine an eyebrow/ lash serum for $40 because I use a Rimmel one on my brows that was around $8 and it has helped.
Mine was $21 off Amazon. It's called Lavish Lash and it's honest to God helping my lashes get longer!
There's one called EyEnvy and it costs $120AUD it took my breath away even at my aestheticians office when I was told that... I put it straight back onto the shelf
*edit* I had the name of the product wrong
Most of these serums are just castor oil. Taking Biotin as a supplement and/or sea kelp (as long as it’s safe for you) will be more helpful. ☺
@@Christel108 That's true. I do have a castor oil serum I use. The Lavish Lash is something else, I'm not sure. I take a biotin supplement, as well, on advice from my primary care provider. Together with the serum, my lashes are starting to get a nice length to them.
"Just do whatever the f* you want" is good advice!!! Love it.
Tried Byoma because it was so simple and reasonably priced at Target in the US, and honestly I was looking for things to add to my order to get free shipping. That said, I am very surprised by how much I like the products. I think your review is fair. On the first try, I loved the mist and knew I would repurchase it in the future. I thought the cleanser was "nice" and would be the kind of unobjectionable product I would loan a friend who unexpectedly stayed over. No question skin barrier protection is the focus of the brand, but I think all products are superior to Cetaphil and cerave. Seemed fine but boring. HOWEVER, a few weeks later after being a little overly exuberent using actives, including sleepily forgetting that my dermatica tret now includes azelaic acid (which I love) and so accidentally added an additional layer of prescription 15% alezaic acid on top !!!!!!. . . .I awoke with sensitive skin and worry about my barrier. Byoma was out on my table and I thought, today is the day for basic. It was fantastic and immediately soothed my poor skin. Loved the cleanser, I used the mist repeatedly through the day. Liked the serum, and even the moisturizer felt good (I have dry, dehydrated skin) and sank into my needy skin. I used it for two days AM and PM and then was able to return to my actives (careful not to accidentally double dose anything!). I think this routine would be great for adolescents plus an exfoliating, or if needed, acne treatment step, or for an older relative who wants a simple, yet fun, inexpensive routine probably plus a heavier night time moisturizer. Or for anyone who needs a few days or more of barrier repair. I think I will keep all the products on hand in the future, either when I need a break from actives or are too rushed for a longer routine.
Reading other posts I will look cute them rich moisturizer!
I agree with your thoughts on Byoma. One con, most products don’t come full. I use their cleanser and moisturizers and they are just fine. I feel like the moisturizers are a lighter version of Cerave.
Do whatever the fuck you want, spend your money on whatever you want to spend it on... Best advice ever. Thank you for your guidance and for describing all the products you try out! I really like your videos! Everything about them, really. Which is shocking to me, because I'm pretty pessimistic in general, I don't get excited or impressed by much of anything anymore really. So i kinda get stoked when I do find someone/something I do truly enjoy. I wish there were many more people like you running around this planet, or the area I live in, whatever. Thank you very much 😊
one of my favourite brands at the moment is , Indeed Labs, the serums are so nice and hydrating without feeling sticky.
I look forward to these. I've been eyeing tatcha skincare recently because I got a trial/travel kit from TJ Maxx last week and I've been exclusively using those (and I'm obsessed). I need to check if you have a tatcha video and see what your opinions are because you're the reason I bought glow recipe products! I trust your judgment 100%, even tho I know everyone has different needs and one thing may work for you that doesn't work for me, but regardless, I still love your opinions and judgments on skincare!
I love tatcha products especially the way they smell!
@@SimplyCheryl I’m literally obsessed with what I got from TJ Maxx. It was a lil gift set type of the cleansing oil, deep clean cleanser, the essence, the water cream, and the dewy cream. It was like $39.99, even tho everything was SMALL. But I’ve gotten SOOO many uses outta them regardless of how tiny they are. I haven’t made a dent in the creams or the oil. Essence and cleansers go by a little faster, but still have enough in those to get me thru til I decide to purchases the full sized ones. REALLY thinking about it tho, even tho their kits are $250+ on some. But I think they’re really worth it. And they accept AfterPay!
@@stephhbk I love tatcha dewy skin cream. It’s very hydrating & only need a small amount so it lasts.
I’ve missed your uploads your skin is flawless
OMG you made me laugh out loud with the 'do whatever the f**k you want'!!!! You make my day!!
The BYOMA cleanser seems like it could be a nice, inexpensive option for a gentle cleanser. The serum looks like a good buy, too. Basic, sure, but it's so well priced and who really needs a fancy niacinamide and hyaluronic acid serum anyway? I think when I am out of my current products I will give this one a try. Thanks for the suggestion!
I like Byoma skincare. Its very gentle, and pretty good for not even thinking about your skin!
Yeah I agree!
Where do u buy? ULTA or Sephora perhaps?
Love love love your authenticity 🤌🏾
Love your reviews!
You are one beautiful man, James Welsh! 🙂
AND, you truly are an 'influencer' because I try products because you said so.
Definitely reccomend Byoma if you haven't tried it! The cleanser and the mist are my favorite too!!
I’m totally with you on the reef-safe claims and the paraben-free, etc. People don’t read the actual study (which has been made available online for free for a while now), and just latch on the misinterpretation. Companies use it to sell products and make money, and people buy it to be “on-trend.” I think it’s ridiculous.
The leneige reformulations are great. They redid the sleep mask and added squalane and it’s lovely. I use it as a moisturizer because it’s so light. I honestly don’t know why it’s sleep mask, it’s more like a gel moisturizer. Still good, though.
I don't use any celebrity skin care products because I already have brands from companies who actually do skincare - not a celebrity trying to make cash off of a garbage product because they are "popular". I got a trial size of the Laniege water bank and I actually adore it as it perks my skin right up.
A skincare company I like had a customer submission thing. I pitched an idea and it got picked. Now I have a product campaign launching in a few days and I'm terrified. This is only loosely related but the video reminded me that my pre-order campaign is four days away. I've never been so nervous haha.
Is it volition? What product is it?
We need a Welsh skin care line for complete honesty and research
Your skin is looking AMAZING!!!
The packaging of the new Laneige products looks stunning!!!
“spend your money on whatever you want to spend it on!” YESSS!!
lol I remember the first video of yours I ever watched was when you worked at ASOS and Ariana came in and I think you said she was annoyed that people would notice her lol and I think you also said 1D came in when they were still on X Factor in 2010 and got to shop in the store without customers. Knew you were a genuine person just from that 1 video and been watching ever since :) So rare to find real honest genuine people on youtube, especially in this genre
Love the Byoma cleanser, I have extremely dry skin and most cleansers leave my skin feeling so dry yet this makes it feel smooth and hydrated using it as a 2nd cleanse. Absolutely love the hydrating serum as well. I bought these for the exact reason James spoke on, I was overwhelmed with skincare and tired of spending too much on products I wasn’t getting results from and needed to just bring life back to my skin barrier. The serum did just that. It feels so silky and gives you a very settle yet beautiful natural glow.
The new tatcha silk sunscreen is my favorite 💜 I’ve been using it for the past 3 weeks it’s amazing.
LOVE the Chanel-y jacket!
Have a wonderful day James❤️
I saw soph do a test with the r.e.m. (edit: remove "setting" cause that was clearly causing an uproar) spray and it literally removed the makeup from her arm (where she tested). I wonder if the essential oils in it contribute to that.
I can't imagine it being useful in makeup prep or longevity,
and I bet that's likely how most people will try to use it.
some bad marketing there tbh
It’s literally not even a setting spray… so yeah its not gonna make makeup stay in place 💀 its literally called a mist
it's a face mist, not a setting spray lol. ofc it's gonna take your makeup off
@@windyy48 emphasis on the part of my comment where I say "I bet that's likely how most people will try to use it". ie: most people are likely to try to use it as a setting/refreshing spray.
@@ryanb1800 yeah and isn't it wild how people will still likely try to use it as a setting/refreshing mist because of crappy marketing? that's the point of my comment. thanks
@@windyy48 Even a face mist shouldn't remove makeup. Facial mists are (usually) designed that you can spray over makeup throughout the day for a refreshing experience.
I’ve tried several of Byoma’s products (everything except the serums). The mist is one of my faves. I felt it was very hydrating. The cleanser I really liked, but I didn’t like how much came out when I pumped it (legit the size of a teardrop). It could have been my product was defective, idk (I’ve only bought one, which I’m only a quarter of the way through). The gel moisturizer was not bad. Not great, but not bad. The rich moisturizer was pretty good, though. I also feel like it wouldn’t be rich enough for dry skin, even though it’s marketed towards drier types).
“I’ve got my big shoulders on because I mean businezzzzzzz” I CACKLED 😂😂😂
I use Byoma’s clarifying serum and I love it. I have oily/combo skin and it dries up my excess oil nice. It also has great slip.
Def gonna try it out because of you!
The byoma gel cream works soo well for me! I absolutely love it. It moisturises my skin in the dry Canadian winter and doesn’t break me out!
actually took the plunge with some of your long time favorites, and I could not love it more. Krave and glow recipe is it for me now. I didmt react, gentle formulation 👍
I bought most of the products from the byoma brand and I agree they are “snice” as you would say lol. Like nice basic stuff to start out with that’s not overly bland.
I mix the gel moisturizer with the glow recipe pink juice moisturizer bc it def wasn’t enough on its own and it seems to be fine but by themselves (I tried both the moisturizers) and I definitely can see what you mean about it sitting on your skin. Lately I’ve even been putting the plum plump moisturizer over the top of those two (cuz I have it and why not lol) and it’s been doing my skin real nice. I also mix the niacinamide dew drops with their niacinamide serum (bc I had it before I bought glow recipe and I don’t want to waste it lol) but everything’s been doing real nice. I do admit that I like the way my skin feels better when I just mix the pink juice moisturizer with the plum plump one.
but I’m OBSESSED with glow recipe per your recommendation, you cannot go wrong. At all. I use their avocado serum mixed with the good light probiotic serum and they are soooo nice together. I’ve been getting compliments on my skin since using glow recipe for sure. Their pore tight toner is also chefs freaking kiss. My skin usually hates salicylic acid but it LOVES that exfoliant I swear.
Also I really love the good light cleanser, milky moon glow toner and that probiotic serum I mentioned earlier. They’re great in my opinion. Them and glow recipe are my favs right now.
And I personally like you said would recommend byoma to anyone who’s starting out and wants something simple but not too too plain. And maybe sample the moisturizer before you buy it. I’d recommend a different moisturizer. There’s actually a green tea and aloe moisturizer from versed at target that’s super nice as well. I’d maybe try that one instead 😁
I was at target with my brother getting him some skincare stuff to start out with and the Byoma caught my eye, I agree I really think its great for starters and i love the way it feels. I got him the cleanser and gel-cream (which i agree, doesn’t go in the skin very well but he has a bit of combination skin and loves it) and then got the mist for myself, its great!
I am enjoying the Tatcha sunscreen! I actually use my Apostrophe sunscreen first the about 10min before I apply my makeup I apply the Tatcha as it makes my skin feel & look so soft! Some days I just end up using mascara & a little concealer & I feel confident with just that.
Don’t know what you have been putting on but you are absolutely GLOWING in this video, everything be glowy and gorgeoussssss
The paraben thing really annoys me. I’ll admit I briefly bought into it until I read up on the whole thing and learned that the research on the dangers of parabens is super weak, and they are actually safer than other preservatives or no preservatives. Philosophy has finally reformulated one of their best selling products, Purity Made Simple cleanser. I think the brand is overpriced crap, mostly, but my mom loves that cleanser. She is a real cheapskate on skincare, so she’s always asking me to look for sales and deals on that cleanser. Now I’m seeing reviews that say since the reformulation, the product starts smelling funky before people finish it. Yeah, because they took out the parabens. 🙄 Told her about that and talked her into Cetaphil Gentle Skin cleanser. She loves it, and it’s so much cheaper, so she’s really happy.
Possibly unpopular opinion, but I loved their moisturizer back when it still had Lavender oil. My skin didn't care at all, it loved that product and the scent was honestly a major reason I loved it. As a very anxious person I found the little bit of aromatherapy very soothing and something to look forward to, it motivated me to get up and wash when I was super depressed. So they took it out and now I'm just using basic ass cerave lotion because the reformulation probably works similarly but the scent was at least half of why I loved it. I'm not paying that price for something I only love half as much as I used to. Thanks for saving me money, philosophy.
@@jazwhoaskedforthis I still like their body washes that smell like recipes, especially the cocktail ones. My favorite is Senorita Margarita. It makes getting up and taking a shower early in the morning suck a little less
You did your mum well
my skin was breaking out from every moisturizer i tried until i got the byoma gel-cream. i don’t have the same issue of it not sinking in, it takes a couple minutes but works really well for my combo/dry very sensitive skin. think if i experienced the stickiness i wouldn’t like it so much but honestly, my skin has never been happier. i tried nicer moisturizers but none of them worked for me but i guess my skin just wanted basic 😅
I tried the Tatcha sunscreen, and I do like it. Not sure if I would use often for 60$ (glad I got a discount) but I do have a hard time finding spf 50’s with nice texture that don’t sting my eyes, so this one was a win in that regard.
You could try using a mineral lip balm around your eyes if you're not that dark. I can't quite get away with it but my boyfriend swears by it
I got the Acnemy postzit serum a while ago from beautybay and it has transformed my skin. It's the perfect formulation of zinc and niacinamide so it helps with marks but also balances out and keeps it less clogged and oily. I don't think I could be without it now... please don't be discontinued 🙈
