Hey guys and welcome to todays video. I realised recently I have swapped out some of my Holy grail skincare products recently and switched them out and so I thought I would share them in todays video. I would love to know what holy grails you have been mixing up recently so please leave me a comment below and sending you so much love xxxxx
I always shuffle products in my routine according to the season and the weather. For example last summer I used up 4 tubes of the Purito Deep Sea water cream but for the winter I said goodbye to it. But as summer approaching I am excited to have it back 😊
Hi hun, I hope all is good with you... I never used to shuffle but I need to start doing it more as my skin is totally different in summer than in winter so it makes total sense... sending you lots of love xxxx
Skincare breakups ooooh so dramatic, I love it haha! Personally I dumped all skincare that’s labeled “90% all natural ingredients” or whatever cuz what a load of BS. Best decision ever, no regrets and I’ve moved on 😂👏🏻 - Thx for the video Rob. Super interesting and informative like always ❤️
Haha we all love a little breakup drama 😂... I agree with you, i stopped assuming 90% natural meant it performed well as it was all just a marketing con for sure.. Happy Tuesday and sending you so much love xxxx
Hi Rob 👋 huge fan just shy, so first time commenting. If you are looking for a good gel moisturizer Versed Dew Point is beautiful. So light weight, glides on the skin, great under spf and make up. I know you reviewed Versed awhile ago, but I recommend this for summer time. My break up product was Clean & Clear deep action exfoliating scrub. For years it helped so much with my acne and oiliness, but I’ve got broken blood vessels on my cheeks because of it. Toxic relationship for sure (also so bad for the environment!). Because of you I went to the Oat Cleansing balm and fell in love! Shocked this balm was on your list, but totally understand. I’ll be cheeky with Inkey Oat while you two are on a break lol ☺️
Hey hun thank you so so much for watching, supporting the channel and commenting it means a lot to me and its lovely to hear from you... Thank you for the recommendation for a moisturiser I will have to check them out as I am always on the look out for a good gel moisturiser... sending you lots of love xxxxx
@@dianaf6333 I have combo skin. Oily T zone and very dry cheeks. Dew Point works for both. Sometimes I put another layer on my cheeks in the morning if I need a little more hydration. It has squalane and jojoba seed oil so still very moisturizing for a gel.
Thank gawd I broke up with the idea of roasting in the sun with (takes long, deep breath...) BABY OIL on my skin. Omg - having a tan was everything to me in my youth 😬. Thank goodness I channel my inner vampire now by cloaking myself in clothing, being a sunscreen fanatic and sitting in the shade #betterlatethannever
so you're in the vampire clan also? I'm even more pale than Casper 😹. I've only ever had a proper full body tan twice. once when I went to St. Tropez, Cannes and Monaco and once when i went to tenerife. but now I avoid the sun like the plague. i don't go anywhere without a parasol if the sun is out. it's a nightmare trying to find a foundation that's my shade. with pretty much *EVERY* foundation brand I have to buy the lightest shade and mix white into it 🙈
Absolutely! I used to get so dark! What was I thinking 🤦♀️ it took me many years to stop laying out in the sun and now I’m always ALWAYS wearing SPF even indoors. Unfortunately, the damage of those years in the sun, are showing up with sunspots. But, I’m embracing my vampire skin as well! 👻
@@crissyanderson6495 - yes! My entire anti-aging routine shakes it head at me daily for the self-imposed damage I did when I was younger! I love how younger generations are inspired by skincare best practices and (hopefully) won’t make the same mistakes that we did.
@@ChristaEvelyn I agree! I’m constantly researching products and ingredients, trying to make sure I have all of them in my routine! And of course watching my favorite RUclipsr!! The one good thing for younger people now a days is that there is so much more knowledge available to them so they won’t make the same mistakes we made!
OMG I remember the baby oil craze though here in the Uk we used to do it with Olive Oil which was just as bad and smelled worse too lol... better leave than never to learn this for sure lol... I hope all is amazing with you and sending you lots of love xxxxxx
My biggest breakup was with La Roche Posay 😢. I'm still upset about it, but found out they aren't cruelty free. I'm mostly into K beauty, but they really had some great cleansers and moisturizers that were perfect for my super dry skin 😕. As for hyluronic acid, I only use it in the summer when it's crazy humid lol
I know what you mean hun I dont use them for the same reason but I loved their products... they may be able to go cruelty free with some of the changes in China in the coming year so we need to keep our eye out for sure... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Love this video! My skin care break up is more with a process than with a specific item. I’ve broken up with products/steps/etc. that take too much time or effort. It’s not that I’m lazy, but I would get things that took forever to soak into the skin or work in and then I just ended up not incorporating them into my routine regularly and letting lots of nice products go to waste. Now I am more realistic with myself about what I actually have time for, what I actually enjoy doing, and what I will stick with consistently. Xxx
Hi hun thank you so so much for watching and this is such a good ethos and approach to skincare I totally agree with you... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Omg, my biggest breakup was Clinique!! I still eat ice cream to ease the pain. LOL I used the 3 step for years and then one day my skin was dry from the alcohol toner and the yellow moisturizer gave me zits😢
Haha i know the struggle as their 3 step was a holy grail for me for ages.. I wish they would reformulate and take all the alcohol out of it as the concept is quite good.. Sending you so much love xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin wouldn't it be so much easier if there was a 3 step system that suited everybody? it'd be nice to not have to experiment and not have to weed a million products in or out to work out what is best for your skin.
@@deebee9120 I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that korean skincare has *MASSIVELY* changed my skin. I've suffered severe acne since I was 12 (I'm 34 now) nothing ever worked for me and tried every product aimed at acne prone skin etc going. from the cheap stuff to the expensive alongside numerous prescription products and medications and non of it worked. I first switched over to LUSH which changed my skin just a little bit for the better. it made the biggest change was my approach to skincare. it made me realise that *gentle* was the way to go and that all those acne products were far too harsh and were making things massively worse. then in comes korean skincare to my love 2 years ago (thanks mostly to hyram and james welsh) and oh boy!!!! my skin has changed exponentially for the better in the past 18 months. I'm dumb struck at how much it has changed and never thought in a million years that being gentle and using gentle products would do anything for my skin never mind making a massive difference. I still get hormonal breakouts, usually around my period and that's pretty much it. i know a lot of people would look at me and think I'm delusional for thinking that i have good skin but i recognise that perfection doesn't exist! okay, I'll never get rid of my scarring (although they have improved in appearance) and once a month I look like I walked into a bee's nest but you can't tell me my skin doesn't look good! I just wish I had found korean skincare sooner as I know I wouldn't have those scars. Although korean skincare doesn't stop me picking which is also made worse by anxiety andnot just the urge most people have to squeeze spots. but cosrx pimple patches are amazing at reducing that picking. have to shout out the ordinary and inkeylist though as I do use a few of their products too.
Yes, yes, yes to the Glycolacsol solution! I’ve said goodbye to TO Glycolic Toner as a result. I was a little shocked to see that you broke up with NMF... I’ve been eyeing the face theory oil free moisturizer for summer.... I now see face theory order #4 coming for me!
Haha i was shocked too and i still love it but i think it's best for me in winter and oil free is better for summer for sure.. I would bathe in that glycolacsal of i could 😂 sending lots of love xxxxx
@@LittleMissBettyPagethanks for the recommendations! I’ll check them out. I have never really purchased much k-beauty, but I am becoming more and more interested!
I just checked out Face Theory and took their quiz, I know you have talked about it so much. I'm still contemplating but I must admit I still love TO moisturizer. Mind you, I may say something quite different when the warmer weather arrives. I can't wait to finish my bottle of TO Glycolic Acid, my skin will only tolerate it once a week. I'm way too thrifty to toss it out. Then I have a bottle of TO Lactic Acid 10 % which needs to be finished up too . . . By the time that happens summer will be over. Oh, the dilemmas I continually face. I think I need another coffee. As usual Rob, I love you and keep up the great videos. I fail to understand how you can give such in-depth, informative and well researched videos EVERY DAY. Do you ever sleep???
Haha I do sleep ( I lovely daily nap and couldn't do without it lol) and I think you should have a well deserved coffee :) ... I love face theory but I am totally with you the ordinary NMF I amazing, I just find it a little much for my skin in summer... We are totally the same when it comes to being thrifty I dont like to throw anything out so I always use it up lol... I hope you are having an amazing Tuesday and sending you so much love xxxxx
Paula’s Choice was my everything since the late 90s, but after their price hikes and a product causing me to miss work because my eyes swelled shut I have mostly parted ways. I’m now all about Cosrx and Cos de Baha. The later’s peptide cream has been a complete game changer. Moreso than any PC product.
Hyaluronic acid makes my skin kinda dry too! I've always been a little confused by that since people would always say its soooo good for hydrating the skin! I don't think my skin likes it much though. Lately my favorite face wash has been the Peter Thoma Roth Anit-Aging gel cleanser 😍 it has salicylic acid and glycolic acid so its definitely not for the faint of heart...or the sensitive of skin lol
I broke up with the Biore Aqua Rich Watery Essence sunscreen after an 8 year relationship. I loved them and they were so trustworthy... but their alcohol dried me out. Nowadays, I keep hearing about how trustworthy and good their SPF level is, and I miss the good old days... but whenever I revisit them, their strong alcohol and fragrance immediately reminds me why we broke up.
My little break up story was with nip and fab. I asked an esthetician for advise on my worsening skin. Long story short, I was vigorously scrubbing my face daily with the glycolic face scrub (as per advise I might add) and applying the extreme glycolic fix toner afterwards for months. Never again! I am now left with broken capillaries and am finally starting to fix all the irritation caused.
I bought the mario badescu one just to try and I can honestly say I've only reached for it once or twice and really wasn't impressed. it just left my spots dry and scabby and last even longer than if I hadn't used it. so i definitely won't be purchasing that again. nor will I be passing it on to anyone. when I have a product that is a good product but just doesn't work for me I'll pass it on to one of my cousins that I know it will probably work for. but I'm not passing on anything that's rubbish, so the mario badescu drying lotion will be collecting dust in my skincare drawer. one of the spot treatments I have been using that isn't a drying lotion is *"some by mi AHA BHA PHA 14 days super miracle spot all kill cream"* (gotta love the super long names on some korean skincare products 😹) obviously doesn't get rid of a spot super quickly but I find the cica that is contained really helps to take down the swelling and pain somewhat.
Haha i agree we all need to break up with Mario Badescu lol.. I am intrigued by the one you mention though and i will have to give it a go for sure.. Sending lots of love xxxx
Hi Rob! New subscriber here! Found you from Hyram! I love your videos! I also love this breakup concept for a video! I've also broken up with drying acne spot treatments and anything that I used to use in my teens from the drugstore like Clean and Clear... regrets... *sigh* But, you're right- when we learn more, we evolve and so do our skincare routines! Hope you're well!
Hey hun thank you so much for joining the channel and your support means a lot to me.. I agree we learn these things in the end but hopfully all the teens these days won't reach for the drying lotions lol.. Sending lots of love xxxx
Welcome, Aly! I swear I have pseudo-PTSD from my Clean & Clear days. There was a time that I swam in that astringent. I used it for *everything* -- to take off makeup, to "cleanse," to get rid of every single molecule of oil on my formerly greaseball face, to dry the absolute hell out of every single blemish. And every single day I wondered why my skin was so horrible. But thankfully, as we age, we grow, and we expand our knowledge and discover our self-worth. Many breakups are difficult or traumatizing, but cutting that toxic sludge out of my life is honestly one of the best decisions I've ever made.
TO NMF has become my multi purpose basic moisturising cream, I use it mixed in other creams and also on my hands and body. It's cheap enough for that and just too good a product to completely remove from rotation even when I start using other creams!
Hey hun, I totally agree its an amazing all round basic product which mixes well with other products.. Its my go to in winter but I think I need something a little lighter for my oily skin in summer... sending you lots of love xxxxx
I also broke up with La Roche Posay as their ethical practices don’t align with my beliefs. I still mourn the loss of their cream cleanser in my routine!
Personally found my skin really does flare up with leave on fragrances products so that’s something I’m 100% cutting out in my skincare now! Thanks for another great vid x
Yay I am so so glad its working for you.. i was so so impressed when i switched from glycolic to lactic and my skin loves it... sending you so much love xxxxx
OMG yes yes yes Medik8 is so much better than DE and their products are so so well formulated.. I am so glad you love them as much as me and sending you lots of love xxxxx
I totally agree with you about the Inkey List Oat Cleansing balm, the HA, about niacinamide and also about moisturizers! You were so spot on in this video, thanks so much for this. I get the feeling that I have exactly the same kind of skin as you! Very useful video! My HG niacinamide was the Alpha H Vitamin B with copper peptides which I use in phases, so I take a break from it when I feel that my other skin products provide me with what I need. My HG moisturizer is TO NMF in Winter, but from about now through to October time, I use the Neutrogena gel-cream moisturizer which is just wonderful and all that my oily/combo skin needs! My HG HA is the Hada Labo Premium HA but I only use this when I feel my skin needs this and that is never in the summer! Loved this video! Thanks!
Unfortunately, I had to break up with my Indie Lee Q10 toner. It irritated my eyes so bad, TO Squalene cleanser and TIL oatmeal balm. I never felt like my face was clean after using and Belief Auqa Bomb cleanser, it destroyed my barrier within 4 days. My dogs had a $40 shampoo 🐕😁
Oh wow i didnt know you weren't using the indie lee still... I didn't have the issue with my eyes when i use it but we all react differently i guess.. Sending you so much love and hope your having an amazing Tuesday xxxxx
Love this video concept 😄 I think I've been on an extended break with facial oils, sometimes I think it's over and then I'm back to using them lol. As an oily skin person they've never been a firm fave, but in the past I did appreciate some nice glow and improved texture. Plus if I'm using a roller, they're a necessity. But otherwise, I no longer view them as must haves. 💜
Hi Kelly Happy Tuesday hun and I know what you mean about facial oils, I love the glow but I am not enjoying the oil texture on my oily skin so I use them sometimes and sometimes skip... I hope all is epic with you and sending you lots of love xxxxx
OMG yes yes yes I hope you love it as much as me.. it works miracles on my skin... i am just the same as you hun, i get so impatient for the delivery the second i have ordered something lol, i am like a kid at christmas... sending you lots of love xxxxx
The Ordinary Buffet used to be my fave, but it started breaking me out. Now happily on the SubQ with no issues. I've done a big Geek and Gorgeous order today with the discount code, hoping the A Game is going to be less YELLOW than the Avene Triacneal is (it works brilliantly but does end up all over my white pillows!)
haha I know the yellow pillow struggle for sure... I really hope you love your new haul and I cant wait to hear what you think of the products... sending you lots of love xxxxxx
My breakups in skin care are... Lush Breath of fresh air facial mist. Body Shop olive oil body butter. And anything by Dove. No more😀 Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I broke up with the Rovectin Lotus water cream, everyone seems to love it but just feels too light on my skin which seems to love rich creams. Also my daily face scrub in the morning, my skin loves TIL Oat cleanser, l just wipe it off with an Enjo face thing to still get my exfoliation feel fix!
Since discovering Face Theory's amil c whip and other gel or whipped moisturizers I never looked back. The silicone heavy occlusive moisturizers don't agree with my dry skin.
my biggest skincare break up is toner!! I replaced it with spring water, not sure if it still consider as toner but it just water to me lol. i also invested more in serums. Best decision ever!
Hi Rob, thanks again for another great video. Have you ever tried e.l.f., they are cruelty free, drugstore prices. The " superhydrate" is a gel moisturizer with squalane. I have very dry skin not hydrating enough for me, comparable to Blithe. Price for a 1.69 oz / 48 g. in Canada is 14.95. So far none of the e.l.f. moisturizes have worked for me.
Could you give me or the viewers in general info on body lotions or moisturizers ? especially ones that exfoliate, containing salicylic acid and other good ingredients. I think that topic is completely underrated. cheers
This video came just time! Was about to explore acid blends coz technically it make so much sense! I'm eyeing for IsnTree's AHA 8% (4% Lactic Acid + 4% Glycolic Acid). Not sure if you've tried this product before? It's incredibly affordable!
Oh same here hun i left them a few years ago.. i would recommend the Geek and Gorgeous Jelly Joker cleanser which is an exact dupe xxx (iaff.geekandgorgeous.com/125-11-3-15.html)
Thanks for sharing. 💕 I was wondering which products you’re letting go. I finished the CeraVe Vit C serum. It’s has encapsulated ascorbic acid. I’m now using BeautyRx Triple Vit C serum which has tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, methylsilanol and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate. I find the latter to be non-irritating and I can layer better wit other actives.
Thanks, Rob, for making these kinds of videos. So many times, I will watch an influencer talk about a product, then never hear about it again. So I am left wondering, "Are they still using it? Or have they replaced it?" I know this will make your jaw drop, but I have had to stop using argireline. I know, I know... crazy huh? But, I kept developing texture on my forehead, which was the only place I have lines and needed the argireline. I only used a few drops, so I know I didn't overdo it. This is the second time I've tried it with the same results. I had the same reaction to the Buffet. The SubQ skin is on its way, so I am hoping that my skin will not react to this product!! Keep your fingers crossed for me!😊❤️
Happy Tuesday Patti, I know what you mean so many times we see people talk about products and never see them again, our tastes evolve and so does our skin and so we have to be honest with people and say the products we use change too... Its funny you mention that about the argireline but then I guess not every products works with everyones skin as we are all unique... I am so glad you are trying the subq and I hope your skin loves it as much as mine does... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Thank you for this! So much info! I'm just starting my relationship with skincare so I'm still in the flirty stage I guess 😂 I'm not entirely sure what my skin type is or what it loves, but will hopefully find out!
Haha the flirty stage is the best when you havent made your mind up so you can try all the brands... happy exploring and I am here if you need any advice... sending you lots of love xxxx
I had to break up with the inkey list oat cleaning balm it was nice in the beginning but i could tell the formula had changed and was so hard to pump out and mm skin looked bad.As soon as i stopped using it my acne reduced so much.
Thank you so much for sharing hun and it goes to show that not all products work for everyone so I am so glad you have been able to improve your acne... what is your current go to cleanser? sending you lots of love xxxxx
@@MadAboutSkin cerave salicylic acid cleanser or the hydrating cream to foam.I use it with the niod re pigment you recommend to help with dark spots so far its good
FYI my bath mat is clean!! Also, the toughest skincare breakup this year was my Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence and I will never know how much SPF it was :(
Haha i am so glad to hear you keep on top of your bath mats lol... I know what you mean about the Klairs and the biggest dissapointment is that they never revealed the true SPF which is just bad business practice... sending you so much love xxxxx
OMG this is such a good one to choose as you are right they are not worth a second look and its a relationship I am happy to end for sure... sending you lots of love xxxxx
what’s a good cleanser like the la roche posay hydrating cleanser ? i use two water base cleanser at night bc i’m scared a oil cleanser with break me out rn i’m using vanicream and lrp cleanser
Hi hun thank you so so much for watching, I love the look of it and the ingredients sound amazing (I am a huge fan of oat in skincare) but I havent tried it yet.. I will have to give it a go... sending you lots of love xxxx
I didn't find the Laneige Water Sleeping Mask hydrating and hated the fragrance, but I do enjoy the Cica Sleeping Mask on my dry skin. ...but now that I know they aren't cruelty free I can't see myself re-purchasing. I'll probably stick with the NMF by The Ordinary. ---By the way, I absolutely hate the new Deciem website! What the heck!
Haha Monica you are not on your own i know most people seem to find the old website easier.. The brands all seem to merge on the new one which is confusing.. I haven't tired the cica one actually but the whole line just disappointed me considering the hype they have.. Sending you so much love xxxx
Oh I wonder what that is, I just checked and I can see it here in the UK site maybe its an international shipping issue which is a shame... sending you lots of love xxxx
I always had oilier skin but after giving birth to my son, my skin has turned more normal to slightly dry. My holy grail product used to be the La Roche-posay effaclar gel wash. I still love it but it no longer works for me :) I now use the oat cleansing balm and the salicylic acid cleanser because it's non drying and prevents these pesky maskne spots :) I also used to love gel moisturizer but now I prefer something richer like the ordinary moisturising factors, the weleda skin food or the vitaskin vitamin c moisturizer in rich. Also (cringe cringe) I used to love the body shop charcoal mask...but it has now been replaced by the ordinary Aha Bha peeling solution :)
Thank you so so much for sharing hun and it sounds like you are really listening to your skin which is the best thing you can do as our skin is never the same every day... thank you so so much for watching and sending you lots of love xxxxx
Hey Rob, I’m having some very rough skin issues today. I have rosacea, so I know I usually try the Rosa care from procure when it flares up. I cannot put anything on my face with the exception of co a RX snail mucin. Everything else burns me like I’m on fire. Any suggestions?
Hi hun, I am so sorry you are having issues and I would recommend just keeping it simple and using noting on the skin for a few days to allow the skin barrier to recover.. then gradually reintroduce things... sending you lots of love xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin thanks! I have an appointment with dermatologist tomorrow evening. I’m thinking it’s inflamed due to allergies. Will see. Thanks for being a dear friend and answering mr back every time. 😘😘
With the acid blend, I would suggest you to try Purito Abp Triple Synergy Liquid. It combines BHA (Betain Salicylate) with Mandelic acid and PHA. It works great for me. ☺️☺️☺️. Love ❣️❣️❣️
oohhhh I'll have to have a look at this. I'm surprised I haven't come across it though as I've used a fair few of the purito products and currently using the centella toner and the fermented boosting complex. "purito" is one of my regular searches. where do you get this from? maybe I've not seen it because it's not sold everywhere 🤷🏻♀️ I use stylevana and yesstyle
@@LittleMissBettyPage I think it's in Yesstyle. My friend live in the US but it from this site. I live in Bangkok, people here is obsessed with K-beauty. So It is quite accessible for me. Wish you all the best. 🥰
Do you have any cruelty free drugstore dupes for the cerave moisturising lotion? I want a fairly thick cream to use overnight. I find that this approach works well with my oily skin (using a thick moisturiser overnight and a gel one during the day)
Ceramedx is the closest cruelty free dupe. Some other options for night masks are Purito’s Pure Cica Barrier Night Repair and RNW’s Special Ceramide Cream.
I'm falling out of love with using all different brands, ive purchased medik8 cleanser, vit c, la tetra moisturiser and Crystal retinal so going to c how it goes, but they my fav brand at moment. Still use my fav sunday riley good genes twice weekly as well along with ren glow tonic x
Hey hun, I think sometimes it pays to not have holy grails as we miss out on new things which our skin loves if we stick too much to one products so I am always trying to mix it up a little though its all about finding the balance... sending you lots of love xxxxx
my partner bought me a lancome skincare set for xmas and i really didnt wanna like it due to my morals .. but omg ive only tried the night cream and im miss it .. its a really nice cream probably not doing much .. but its one of those highend things i just enjoy having on my vanity x
Haha I know that feeling as I have tried products I was determined not to like and enjoy and ended up loving them lol the struggle is real... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Hmmmm I’ve broken with too many steps, too many layers, too many times a day, just too too much (for me) lol! And not listening enough to my skin, my body, my climate, my timing etc etc etc more lols 😁!!!
Hi Rob!!! I don't know if I should break up with my Facetheorie vitamin c serum and try instead the one from geek and gorgeous, as you mentioned spring is coming and the serum from Facetheorie is suspended on oil, so I think my face might like something more watery, what do you think?
Oh thats a tough one, I do think the one from Geek and Gorgeous is lighter and so will work better in the summer for sure so I think if you can get your hands on it then it would be worth trying the swap to see if its better for your summer skin... sending you lots of love xxxxx
@@MadAboutSkin Thank you!! i will give it a try, is like you with the oat cleanser, we are not breaking up for ever, just taking a break to think about our relationship 😂 lots of love from Germany ❤️
Haha I love the product I just find I have too much Niacinamide in my routine already though I would totally recommend it to people who want a little more niacimade in their lives... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Haha I know what you mean about Clinique I used to use them all the time but I realised they were so expensive for what they did and some cheaper brands were out there... sending you lots of love xxxxx
I suck at listening to my skin but I’d love to know how you can tell if sth is or isn’t working! I only notice immediate reactions, which usually means irritation ;)
If something is irritating then I would say its not working but if something is giving you the results after a couple of months then I would say it is.. we always want quicker results than most products deliver so I always say give them 8 weeks to show their benefits... sending you lots of love xxxx
oooh am o first again? I meant to reply to you yesterday but i hope you're doing well? I've given up on hyaluronic acid. I've tried and tried again with TO hyaluronic acid but it just wasn't working. yesterday was my last straw. I've been using the neutrogena hydroboost bodycare line and after applying yesterday my skin around my collar bones were my face care products and bodycare products meet wasvstinging and so sore. I seem to be okay with small amounts when it's within other formulations which is good enough for me but from now on I'll be avoiding any products that have hyaluronic acid as their stand out marketed ingredient
Oh i totally know the struggle with HA and it took me so so long to realise it was it which wasn't working for me.. Such a shame that everything is packed full of it and its hard to avoid.. Happy Tuesday hun and sending you so much love xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin and a happy tuesday to you and your furry and feathery friends from me and my furry friends (2 kittys called *Colin* And *Sir. Fistandantalus Floofypants* and a tarantula called *princess* ) it's a nightmare trying to avoid HA these days and I have a feeling niacinimide will probably follow on it's footsteps. I don't have any problems with niacinamide and aswell as it being in a couple of serums I use the inkeylist niacinamide (on a night time only) but I'm certain that before long it will be in *EVERYTHING*
Haha I know so many people who have moved on to other products from the Pixi as I like it but there are more effective and cheaper out there for sure... I hope all is amazing with you and sending you lots of love xxxxx

@Larissa Larson I was looking at the Versed Dew Point. I have dry skin but love gel moisturizers. Im going to try it!
@@dianaf6333 I have combo skin. Oily T zone and very dry cheeks. Dew Point works for both. Sometimes I put another layer on my cheeks in the morning if I need a little more hydration. It has squalane and jojoba seed oil so still very moisturizing for a gel.
Thank gawd I broke up with the idea of roasting in the sun with (takes long, deep breath...) BABY OIL on my skin. Omg - having a tan was everything to me in my youth 😬. Thank goodness I channel my inner vampire now by cloaking myself in clothing, being a sunscreen fanatic and sitting in the shade #betterlatethannever
so you're in the vampire clan also? I'm even more pale than Casper 😹. I've only ever had a proper full body tan twice. once when I went to St. Tropez, Cannes and Monaco and once when i went to tenerife. but now I avoid the sun like the plague. i don't go anywhere without a parasol if the sun is out. it's a nightmare trying to find a foundation that's my shade. with pretty much *EVERY* foundation brand I have to buy the lightest shade and mix white into it 🙈
Absolutely! I used to get so dark! What was I thinking 🤦♀️ it took me many years to stop laying out in the sun and now I’m always ALWAYS wearing SPF even indoors. Unfortunately, the damage of those years in the sun, are showing up with sunspots. But, I’m embracing my vampire skin as well! 👻
@@crissyanderson6495 - yes! My entire anti-aging routine shakes it head at me daily for the self-imposed damage I did when I was younger! I love how younger generations are inspired by skincare best practices and (hopefully) won’t make the same mistakes that we did.
@@ChristaEvelyn I agree! I’m constantly researching products and ingredients, trying to make sure I have all of them in my routine! And of course watching my favorite RUclipsr!! The one good thing for younger people now a days is that there is so much more knowledge available to them so they won’t make the same mistakes we made!
OMG I remember the baby oil craze though here in the Uk we used to do it with Olive Oil which was just as bad and smelled worse too lol... better leave than never to learn this for sure lol... I hope all is amazing with you and sending you lots of love xxxxxx
Longest skincare relationship has to be with my dove shower wash, not exciting lol but love the smell xx
Haha i know the one you mean and it smells so good.. Sending lots of love xxxx
My biggest breakup was with La Roche Posay 😢. I'm still upset about it, but found out they aren't cruelty free. I'm mostly into K beauty, but they really had some great cleansers and moisturizers that were perfect for my super dry skin 😕. As for hyluronic acid, I only use it in the summer when it's crazy humid lol
I know what you mean hun I dont use them for the same reason but I loved their products... they may be able to go cruelty free with some of the changes in China in the coming year so we need to keep our eye out for sure... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Love this video! My skin care break up is more with a process than with a specific item. I’ve broken up with products/steps/etc. that take too much time or effort. It’s not that I’m lazy, but I would get things that took forever to soak into the skin or work in and then I just ended up not incorporating them into my routine regularly and letting lots of nice products go to waste. Now I am more realistic with myself about what I actually have time for, what I actually enjoy doing, and what I will stick with consistently. Xxx
Hi hun thank you so so much for watching and this is such a good ethos and approach to skincare I totally agree with you... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Omg, my biggest breakup was Clinique!! I still eat ice cream to ease the pain. LOL I used the 3 step for years and then one day my skin was dry from the alcohol toner and the yellow moisturizer gave me zits😢
Haha i know the struggle as their 3 step was a holy grail for me for ages.. I wish they would reformulate and take all the alcohol out of it as the concept is quite good.. Sending you so much love xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin wouldn't it be so much easier if there was a 3 step system that suited everybody? it'd be nice to not have to experiment and not have to weed a million products in or out to work out what is best for your skin.
I had to have this intervention with my mum. She now uses K Beauty and loves it and saves some money
@@deebee9120 I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that korean skincare has *MASSIVELY* changed my skin. I've suffered severe acne since I was 12 (I'm 34 now) nothing ever worked for me and tried every product aimed at acne prone skin etc going. from the cheap stuff to the expensive alongside numerous prescription products and medications and non of it worked. I first switched over to LUSH which changed my skin just a little bit for the better. it made the biggest change was my approach to skincare. it made me realise that *gentle* was the way to go and that all those acne products were far too harsh and were making things massively worse. then in comes korean skincare to my love 2 years ago (thanks mostly to hyram and james welsh) and oh boy!!!! my skin has changed exponentially for the better in the past 18 months. I'm dumb struck at how much it has changed and never thought in a million years that being gentle and using gentle products would do anything for my skin never mind making a massive difference. I still get hormonal breakouts, usually around my period and that's pretty much it. i know a lot of people would look at me and think I'm delusional for thinking that i have good skin but i recognise that perfection doesn't exist! okay, I'll never get rid of my scarring (although they have improved in appearance) and once a month I look like I walked into a bee's nest but you can't tell me my skin doesn't look good! I just wish I had found korean skincare sooner as I know I wouldn't have those scars. Although korean skincare doesn't stop me picking which is also made worse by anxiety andnot just the urge most people have to squeeze spots. but cosrx pimple patches are amazing at reducing that picking. have to shout out the ordinary and inkeylist though as I do use a few of their products too.
Yes, yes, yes to the Glycolacsol solution! I’ve said goodbye to TO Glycolic Toner as a result.
I was a little shocked to see that you broke up with NMF... I’ve been eyeing the face theory oil free moisturizer for summer.... I now see face theory order #4 coming for me!
Haha i was shocked too and i still love it but i think it's best for me in winter and oil free is better for summer for sure.. I would bathe in that glycolacsal of i could 😂 sending lots of love xxxxx
@@LittleMissBettyPagethanks for the recommendations! I’ll check them out. I have never really purchased much k-beauty, but I am becoming more and more interested!
I just checked out Face Theory and took their quiz, I know you have talked about it so much. I'm still contemplating but I must admit I still love TO moisturizer. Mind you, I may say something quite different when the warmer weather arrives. I can't wait to finish my bottle of TO Glycolic Acid, my skin will only tolerate it once a week. I'm way too thrifty to toss it out. Then I have a bottle of TO Lactic Acid 10 % which needs to be finished up too . . . By the time that happens summer will be over. Oh, the dilemmas I continually face. I think I need another coffee. As usual Rob, I love you and keep up the great videos. I fail to understand how you can give such in-depth, informative and well researched videos EVERY DAY. Do you ever sleep???
Haha I do sleep ( I lovely daily nap and couldn't do without it lol) and I think you should have a well deserved coffee :) ... I love face theory but I am totally with you the ordinary NMF I amazing, I just find it a little much for my skin in summer... We are totally the same when it comes to being thrifty I dont like to throw anything out so I always use it up lol... I hope you are having an amazing Tuesday and sending you so much love xxxxx
I use my TO glycolic acid mixed in with my body lotion, and my skin is so much brighter and softer and is a lot cheaper then buying a aha body lotion.
Paula’s Choice was my everything since the late 90s, but after their price hikes and a product causing me to miss work because my eyes swelled shut I have mostly parted ways. I’m now all about Cosrx and Cos de Baha. The later’s peptide cream has been a complete game changer. Moreso than any PC product.
Hyaluronic acid makes my skin kinda dry too! I've always been a little confused by that since people would always say its soooo good for hydrating the skin! I don't think my skin likes it much though. Lately my favorite face wash has been the Peter Thoma Roth Anit-Aging gel cleanser 😍 it has salicylic acid and glycolic acid so its definitely not for the faint of heart...or the sensitive of skin lol
I love that one too. I've gotten at least one other person to love it as well. The smell makes me smile.
I broke up with the Biore Aqua Rich Watery Essence sunscreen after an 8 year relationship. I loved them and they were so trustworthy... but their alcohol dried me out. Nowadays, I keep hearing about how trustworthy and good their SPF level is, and I miss the good old days... but whenever I revisit them, their strong alcohol and fragrance immediately reminds me why we broke up.
My little break up story was with nip and fab. I asked an esthetician for advise on my worsening skin. Long story short, I was vigorously scrubbing my face daily with the glycolic face scrub (as per advise I might add) and applying the extreme glycolic fix toner afterwards for months. Never again! I am now left with broken capillaries and am finally starting to fix all the irritation caused.
I love that you only use cruelty free products as I'm cruelty free as well! Love your videos:)
The Tula spot treatment is sorcery in a tube. I highly recommend it. I broke up with my Mario Bedescu pink spot treatment.... It had to be done lol.
I bought the mario badescu one just to try and I can honestly say I've only reached for it once or twice and really wasn't impressed. it just left my spots dry and scabby and last even longer than if I hadn't used it. so i definitely won't be purchasing that again. nor will I be passing it on to anyone. when I have a product that is a good product but just doesn't work for me I'll pass it on to one of my cousins that I know it will probably work for. but I'm not passing on anything that's rubbish, so the mario badescu drying lotion will be collecting dust in my skincare drawer. one of the spot treatments I have been using that isn't a drying lotion is *"some by mi AHA BHA PHA 14 days super miracle spot all kill cream"* (gotta love the super long names on some korean skincare products 😹) obviously doesn't get rid of a spot super quickly but I find the cica that is contained really helps to take down the swelling and pain somewhat.
Haha i agree we all need to break up with Mario Badescu lol.. I am intrigued by the one you mention though and i will have to give it a go for sure.. Sending lots of love xxxx
You got me to break up with my standalone Hyaluronic acid serum Rob! Replaced it with antioxidant!
Awww amazing and I think you made the right choice for sure hun ... I hope all is amazing with you and sending you lots of love xxxxx
Hi Rob! New subscriber here! Found you from Hyram! I love your videos! I also love this breakup concept for a video! I've also broken up with drying acne spot treatments and anything that I used to use in my teens from the drugstore like Clean and Clear... regrets... *sigh* But, you're right- when we learn more, we evolve and so do our skincare routines! Hope you're well!
Hey hun thank you so much for joining the channel and your support means a lot to me.. I agree we learn these things in the end but hopfully all the teens these days won't reach for the drying lotions lol.. Sending lots of love xxxx
Welcome, Aly! I swear I have pseudo-PTSD from my Clean & Clear days. There was a time that I swam in that astringent. I used it for *everything* -- to take off makeup, to "cleanse," to get rid of every single molecule of oil on my formerly greaseball face, to dry the absolute hell out of every single blemish. And every single day I wondered why my skin was so horrible. But thankfully, as we age, we grow, and we expand our knowledge and discover our self-worth. Many breakups are difficult or traumatizing, but cutting that toxic sludge out of my life is honestly one of the best decisions I've ever made.
@@sluttymctits4496 Hello! Thank you! Haha! Oh my gosh, you're funny! I agree though! Here's to NEVER going back!
Thanks for timestamping
Its a total pleasure hun xxxxx
TO NMF has become my multi purpose basic moisturising cream, I use it mixed in other creams and also on my hands and body. It's cheap enough for that and just too good a product to completely remove from rotation even when I start using other creams!
Hey hun, I totally agree its an amazing all round basic product which mixes well with other products.. Its my go to in winter but I think I need something a little lighter for my oily skin in summer... sending you lots of love xxxxx
I also broke up with La Roche Posay as their ethical practices don’t align with my beliefs. I still mourn the loss of their cream cleanser in my routine!
hi hun, I have moved away from LRP for the same reason but I hope they will go cruelty free in the future... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Personally found my skin really does flare up with leave on fragrances products so that’s something I’m 100% cutting out in my skincare now! Thanks for another great vid x
Its a total pleasure hun and I agree its all about finding out what works for us.. sending you lots of love xxxx
I'm 52 and discovered lactic acid a few months ago. It's the one product I can't live without now.
Yay I am so so glad its working for you.. i was so so impressed when i switched from glycolic to lactic and my skin loves it... sending you so much love xxxxx
I used to use Drunk Elephant and dumped them after you introduced me to Medik8. Best move ever... and thank you!
What medik8 product?
@@bvrlylava All of them. Retinol and the day/night creams are awesome!
OMG yes yes yes Medik8 is so much better than DE and their products are so so well formulated.. I am so glad you love them as much as me and sending you lots of love xxxxx
I totally agree with you about the Inkey List Oat Cleansing balm, the HA, about niacinamide and also about moisturizers! You were so spot on in this video, thanks so much for this. I get the feeling that I have exactly the same kind of skin as you! Very useful video! My HG niacinamide was the Alpha H Vitamin B with copper peptides which I use in phases, so I take a break from it when I feel that my other skin products provide me with what I need. My HG moisturizer is TO NMF in Winter, but from about now through to October time, I use the Neutrogena gel-cream moisturizer which is just wonderful and all that my oily/combo skin needs! My HG HA is the Hada Labo Premium HA but I only use this when I feel my skin needs this and that is never in the summer! Loved this video! Thanks!
Thank you so much for watching and sharing hun and it sounds like we have very similar skin which is amazing.. Sending you so much love xxxxc
Unfortunately, I had to break up with my Indie Lee Q10 toner. It irritated my eyes so bad, TO Squalene cleanser and TIL oatmeal balm. I never felt like my face was clean after using and Belief Auqa Bomb cleanser, it destroyed my barrier within 4 days. My dogs had a $40 shampoo 🐕😁
Oh wow i didnt know you weren't using the indie lee still... I didn't have the issue with my eyes when i use it but we all react differently i guess.. Sending you so much love and hope your having an amazing Tuesday xxxxx

@@MadAboutSkin I think I need to do this with my origins mega mushroom stuff I keep wanting to like it but it does nothing for me lol xx
I also broke up with the glycolic acids; I'll have to try one of those multi blends.
Hi hun, I think you should as I am loving so many of them and they all add so many benefits for sure... sending you lots of love xxxxx
I kept trying glycolic acid (so attractive but so bad for me)! It's like the bad boy of AHAs and I need to stop thinking I can change them 😓
Love this video concept 😄 I think I've been on an extended break with facial oils, sometimes I think it's over and then I'm back to using them lol. As an oily skin person they've never been a firm fave, but in the past I did appreciate some nice glow and improved texture. Plus if I'm using a roller, they're a necessity. But otherwise, I no longer view them as must haves. 💜
Hi Kelly Happy Tuesday hun and I know what you mean about facial oils, I love the glow but I am not enjoying the oil texture on my oily skin so I use them sometimes and sometimes skip... I hope all is epic with you and sending you lots of love xxxxx
Just bought the Ren product ❣️❣️❣️ Can’t wait for it to come ❣️❣️❣️ #impatient.

The Ordinary Buffet used to be my fave, but it started breaking me out. Now happily on the SubQ with no issues. I've done a big Geek and Gorgeous order today with the discount code, hoping the A Game is going to be less YELLOW than the Avene Triacneal is (it works brilliantly but does end up all over my white pillows!)

My breakups in skin care are...
Lush Breath of fresh air facial mist.
Body Shop olive oil body butter.
And anything by Dove.
No more😀
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I broke up with the Rovectin Lotus water cream, everyone seems to love it but just feels too light on my skin which seems to love rich creams. Also my daily face scrub in the morning, my skin loves TIL Oat cleanser, l just wipe it off with an Enjo face thing to still get my exfoliation feel fix!
Thank you so so much for watching and sharing hun and sending you lots of love xxxxx
Since discovering Face Theory's amil c whip and other gel or whipped moisturizers I never looked back. The silicone heavy occlusive moisturizers don't agree with my dry skin.
my biggest skincare break up is toner!! I replaced it with spring water, not sure if it still consider as toner but it just water to me lol. i also invested more in serums. Best decision ever!
I love using water as a toner its so good and so affordable so I am glad your skin is loving it... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Hi Rob, thanks again for another great video. Have you ever tried e.l.f., they are cruelty free, drugstore prices. The " superhydrate" is a gel moisturizer with squalane. I have very dry skin not hydrating enough for me, comparable to Blithe. Price for a 1.69 oz / 48 g. in Canada is 14.95. So far none of the e.l.f. moisturizes have worked for me.
Could you give me or the viewers in general info on body lotions or moisturizers ? especially ones that exfoliate, containing salicylic acid and other good ingredients.
I think that topic is completely underrated.
cheers
This video came just time! Was about to explore acid blends coz technically it make so much sense! I'm eyeing for IsnTree's AHA 8% (4% Lactic Acid + 4% Glycolic Acid). Not sure if you've tried this product before? It's incredibly affordable!
Hi hun thank you so much for sharing the recommendation I will check it out for sure... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser, gone as of four years ago. Since using stronger retinoids, I've said goodbye to AHAs and BHAs.
I broke up with Drunk Elephant and not looking back. I still need to find a perfect replacement for their jelly cleanser though.
Oh same here hun i left them a few years ago.. i would recommend the Geek and Gorgeous Jelly Joker cleanser which is an exact dupe xxx (iaff.geekandgorgeous.com/125-11-3-15.html)
Thanks for sharing. 💕 I was wondering which products you’re letting go. I finished the CeraVe Vit C serum. It’s has encapsulated ascorbic acid. I’m now using BeautyRx Triple Vit C serum which has tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, methylsilanol and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate. I find the latter to be non-irritating and I can layer better wit other actives.
Thanks, Rob, for making these kinds of videos. So many times, I will watch an influencer talk about a product, then never hear about it again. So I am left wondering, "Are they still using it? Or have they replaced it?" I know this will make your jaw drop, but I have had to stop using argireline. I know, I know... crazy huh? But, I kept developing texture on my forehead, which was the only place I have lines and needed the argireline. I only used a few drops, so I know I didn't overdo it. This is the second time I've tried it with the same results. I had the same reaction to the Buffet. The SubQ skin is on its way, so I am hoping that my skin will not react to this product!! Keep your fingers crossed for me!😊❤️
🤞

Also (cringe cringe) I used to love the body shop charcoal mask...but it has now been replaced by the ordinary Aha Bha peeling solution :)

I suck at listening to my skin but I’d love to know how you can tell if sth is or isn’t working! I only notice immediate reactions, which usually means irritation ;)
If something is irritating then I would say its not working but if something is giving you the results after a couple of months then I would say it is.. we always want quicker results than most products deliver so I always say give them 8 weeks to show their benefits... sending you lots of love xxxx
oooh am o first again? I meant to reply to you yesterday but i hope you're doing well?
I've given up on hyaluronic acid. I've tried and tried again with TO hyaluronic acid but it just wasn't working. yesterday was my last straw. I've been using the neutrogena hydroboost bodycare line and after applying yesterday my skin around my collar bones were my face care products and bodycare products meet wasvstinging and so sore. I seem to be okay with small amounts when it's within other formulations which is good enough for me but from now on I'll be avoiding any products that have hyaluronic acid as their stand out marketed ingredient
booooo loads of people commented as I was writing my first comment apparently so not first 😭😹
Oh i totally know the struggle with HA and it took me so so long to realise it was it which wasn't working for me.. Such a shame that everything is packed full of it and its hard to avoid.. Happy Tuesday hun and sending you so much love xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin and a happy tuesday to you and your furry and feathery friends from me and my furry friends (2 kittys called *Colin* And *Sir. Fistandantalus Floofypants* and a tarantula called *princess* )
it's a nightmare trying to avoid HA these days and I have a feeling niacinimide will probably follow on it's footsteps. I don't have any problems with niacinamide and aswell as it being in a couple of serums I use the inkeylist niacinamide (on a night time only) but I'm certain that before long it will be in *EVERYTHING*
I've broken out my relationship with Tónico Glow by PIXI... Hard to say ;)
Haha I know so many people who have moved on to other products from the Pixi as I like it but there are more effective and cheaper out there for sure... I hope all is amazing with you and sending you lots of love xxxxx
When I use too much HA, I get small bumps on my skin :C.
Is pc niacinamide better or inkey list niacinamide better?
I like the niacinamide one better as its the same but cheaper... sending you lots of love xxxx
