It's so expensive it must be good, right? |Is Luxury Skin Care Actually Worth Our Money?

- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2024
- Hi there, I'm Eileen. During my shopaholic years, I loved splurging on expensive luxury skincare. When you spend $200 on a bottle of serum, you naturally expect it to do amazing things for your skin. But do these products always deliver just because of their high-end price point? In this video, I talk about if luxury skin care products are actually worth buying.

There are a few honest dermatologists on RUclips that do a great job of recommending effective products that are affordable.
Please name a few. Thank you.
❤️
Dr. Idriss and Dr. Dray
Dr Dray and Dr Sherene Idriss are great too. Both are also in the U.S.
❤️❤️
I have been in Paris and I love how drugstores are all about skin care and almost everything were pretty affordable. I have been loving La Roche Posse skincare. I was amazed when I saw Doctorly recommending some products of that brand. This can also be applied to makeup ❤ Great video!
I totally agree! I love browsing French pharmacies whenever I’m in France xx
Love Doctorly, Dr. Idriss, Dr. Dray, Dr. Vanita Rattan, & Dr. Raj - ALL AMAZING in my opinion. ❤
Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️
Totally agree common sense goes a long way thank you 🙏 I would love to hear more on the silk items you purchased
Best when you go every week for facial treatments 👍🏻
Good point, Eileen! So true. I have visited all the skin care counters! Now I have found good products, to only keep my genes intact. I was lucky enough to inherited have my mom’s skin and collagen levels. As always you look amazing. ❤
❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your experience 😊
Hi Eileen, agree absolutely. I've been through exactly the same process as yours, and am in the process of phasing out luxury (but not so effective) skincare. And remember to get a good sunscreen !
Thanks for sharing!!xx
Thank you Eileen, excellent, informative video❣️
Glad it was helpful!xx
I love Shiseido. But, I love their Basic lines. Even tho I'm 53 I don't use "Anti Aging" by any one. I focus on Hydration & protection from elements. Great vidi
Hi Eileen, all your videos are very informative. Thank you. Any recommendation on shampoos?
Great content Eileen! I'm now positively influenced to take stock of my current skincare products n see how I can switch to reasonably priced quality products. Thanks so much for sharing ❤
❤️❤️
Thank you for your insights! I do agree that most skincare products are overpriced, but devices are worth investing in. I keep my skincare minimal, on the cheap side, but I do use a few devices from foreo which are just as effective with drugstore skincare as they would be with expensive, high end skincare.
Thanks for sharing!!xx
Skincare is 80% working on physical health & mental health and only 20% is skincare and special skin treatment. I have a similar story to you, but it was Chinese Medicine that improve my condition. Now I practice healthy living, take care of my mind, simple skincare products routine and once a month spa facial pampering session
❤️❤️
Thank you for your advice,
Glad it was helpful!xx
Insightful and informative
Thank you xx
@@ColourfulNoir your welcome
I used everything from Dr. Sturm to Barbor etc. Now I am back to 3,- Euro natural / organic skincare from the shelves and my skin is great 😊
Wonderful!xx
You are so on point. My dermatologist recommended Cerave facial wash after I went to her with skin issues. I’ve spent so much money through the years on high end products. Now I use a sunscreen from Drmtology and their moisturizer at night. My skin looks better than ever at a quarter of the price. La Mer clogged my pores.
My friend was also broken out by La Mer but my skin loves it. I need the rich barrier cream to hold in hydration and moisture. I've tried so many brand but always come back to La Mer.
❤️❤️
I use Olay for sensitive skin with SPF 15 as my daily moisturizer. $6 - $8 USD. Noxema classic cleansing cream is my face wash. $4 -$5 USD.
I alternate between luxury skin care and drugstore popular ones. Prior to important dates I use luxury skin care to make myself feel the best. Using the drugstore ones save money for me. I think I am going to continue this practice to balance everything
I have found that sometimes luxury skincare items work best on my skin and sometimes drugstore products do, so my skincare products are a mixture of both at any given time. The big thing with me is that I have allergies so every product must be fragrance free.
I have also found that as I get older I have to change my products roughly every 10 years. I also rotate products like moisturisers and serums regularly because my skin reacts very well to being kept confused and not having a rigid routine.
Thanks for sharing!! xx
I make my own skincare -- Epic brand beef fat, real olive oil, Rose hip oil, Calendula, shea butter and essential oil.
1 to 1 ratio, fridge overnight, whip with a hand mixer. Its heavenly.
That sounds amazing! Which essential oil due you use?
❤️❤️
100% agree!
I agree with you!👏👏👏
❤️❤️
I agree and watch several derms on RUclips, including Doctorly. Active ingredients seem to be the key. I spend more on things like Vitamin C serum, retinol, and sunscreen. The rest I don’t splurge on anymore, especially overpriced moisturizers with no actives in them. Seems like an elegant waste of money to me now.
❤️❤️
Chanel's eye makeup remover and eye cream are the only expensive ones I spring for. Youth to the People is a good brand for moisturizers and mask. It can be expensive, but I make sure everything lasts a good while before replacing them. My most affordable product is my cleanser, CeraVe, just cuz I use it all the time and I know it works.
❤️❤️
From my Working years upto now that I am a house wife and a Mom I simply maintain my drugstore skincare since I am consistent when it comes to skincare I can say that When taking care of your skin is already a part of your lifestyle though it's affordable your skin will still look amazing. Consistency is the key not the pricing of the product. When you already found what works for you be consistent. Thanks Eileen. 🥰🙏

Hi Eileen, I do not entirely agree with you. After having babies my skin got so bad; my forehead was peeling and I spent so much money trying different products whether it is cheap or expensive…. Different oils, different serums, different moisturisers…. Nothing worked. Until finally a friend recommended me to try Dr Sturm hyaluronic serum and I almost died when I saw the price. I ended up buying a small kit and within 2 days, my skin was no longer flakey. Amazing product! It hurts to have to pay so much but this is the only thing that works for me. I can’t tell you how much of thousands of dollars I spent before that and nothing worked.
Yeah people are finding that even the billionaire biohacker Bryan Johnson uses Cerave stiff that costs only like $10 (although he also said for hardcore improvements any creams won't move a needle)
Did you hear about the regular US woman who is actually beating him in reverse aging? Guess what her big secret is - regular exercise and a healthy diet.
Sunscreen is gold to prevent aging and inflammation. Anything to reverse issues is gonna be just for the aftermath.
Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️
I use ELF skin care on my face and a few of their cosmetics too. It works for me and is a "drugstore" brand. I have never really used luxury products on my face so I cant say anything regarding this. Take care!
Thanks for sharing!!xx
After years of being enticed by products touted by beauty magazines to deliver all kinds of benefits that i never realised i need, my skincare products now mostly comprise the very affordable Hada Labo cleanser and toner and 1 Shiseido daytime moisturiser, and overnight masks from cosrx.
Also, I believe good habits + consistency >>>> products, so if my skin is not at its best, i can only blame myself because i fell asleep without applying skincare 😅
Thanks for sharing!!xx
Dr dray is great to watch on RUclips. For luxury skincare I use Estee Lauder advanced night repair serum and Paula's Choice intensive wrinkle repair retinol serum. Slap Cerave moisturizing cream on top and call it a night.
Sunscreen is the only thing to prevent issues from the get go. If you have to wait till the issues cropped up, it's just too late.

I’m almost 50 and my skin is better than girls in their 20s. I get stopped on the streets and by so many ppl asking for my skincare routine. Honestly I have perfect skin since I was a teen and I started taking care of my skin once I hit 30. I use very cheap skincare but I have a skincare routine which I commit to twice a day. I think it helps to maintain. The only expensive skincare products I believe in investing is eye products. So in conclusion, our gene, routine and what we eat can help maintain beautiful skin.
Love it xx
when people spend on luxury products including skincare, its not just about the efficacy but how you feel using the products so its about the emotional value/perception and that's what people are chasing the feeling of something. For me personally I have a mix of mid level brands like Elemis, Strivectin, Skinceuticals and Murad. I have tried Lamer (not worth it) and now I don't spend over $200 for any skincare product.
Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️
I tried many of the luxury skin care products. But they were not gave me a better results. I’ve been using the Estee Lauded for years, they doing a good job😊. I'm close to 50. But people would never guess my age 😅thanks to EL
Thanks for sharing!!xx
I would love you to discover Kambiio Skincare. Our stockists ship to the UK.
Eileen terima kasih elegant young Lady 🐾🌷
❤️❤️
For the past 8 years my morning & nighttime skincare routine average about $3,000 usd but after i had covid something change in my skin and every time i use my usual products it would burn my skin. Now I can only apply Cerave moisturizer and Aquafor.
I miss my expensive skincare. It’s a luxury to apply and i get pretty glowy skin when i wake up. Covid is a bitch it also cause me hair loss 😟
Not dissing drugstore skincare but it’s doesn’t perform as well for my skin type. Not a nice experience to apply …. Doesn’t have the slip and calming sensation as my fancy products.
Thanks for sharing!😊
Would you ever consider a Retinol prescription?
It’s not something I I’ve considered as of yet xx
You don't need it! It's just becoming more common now, was curious.@@ColourfulNoir
La Mer is awful - I had to stop it also for the clogging feeling. Also, its main ingredient is petroleum jelly.
Petroleum jelly is probably the very best barrier cream ever. Look up the term "slugging". It is only for people with very dry skin who need a barrier so they don't lose moisture and hydration. If you don't need that then it's not for you. La Mer is the best thing for my skin but it's not for everyone.
French pharmaceutical brands and affordable Korean and Japanese brands. Do your research and say goodbye to commercial luxury cosmetics
❤️❤️
It whatever suits the person. Luxury if good for tht person & can afford tht’s ok. Drugstore ones if good for tht person tht’s ok. Worth/Not worthed not relevant. If the luxury ones didn’t work for you, maybe that’s subjective. There’s going to be ppl counter this argument say drugstore skincare doesn’t work for them, only luxurious ones do. Just sayin’ 🙏🏻
I also went through so much with my skin & also worked in the beauty department, so had acces to trying all the products. After trying all the products & treatments in my twenties I also visited my moms dermatologist & she diagnosed a dermatitis (overusing products & she also said my skin needs „a vacation“). She recommended Cetaphil, etc. - also my skin is better than ever now. Thanks for this video - 🩷
