One of the many things I love about Penn is that she doesn’t just look for accolades in her comments. She addresses the questions. She RESPONDS. She cares about our questions and that we get the information. Thank you, sweet Penn! ❤ (I asked a simple question below about whether a product has a glass container. She RESPONDED that it does. She didn’t just think oh, who cares or that person didn’t even say they liked the video. She answered my question. 💕)
Do you know of any growth factor that's safe for someone who has had basal cell carcinoma and still gets small spots frozen off every couple of years? I hear they are good for you, and some are safe, but no one will answer my question. Thanks in advance!
Hi Penn, Could you please do a video of Korean products that would make up some of our routine so that we can buy Sukoyaka, iUnik beta glucan & of course one of the sunscreens from one of the retailers like Stylvana? I’d love to know what you would absolutely recommend & what general products you might skip. For example, since they are just beginning to develop retinol products, would you avoid them. I trust you implicitly, so would really love your guidance. Thank you for all the positivity you put out into,the world. 🌎
55F here - this is the best, most concise information on skin care products that I've ever heard. 🙌🏼👏🏼🎉💜♥️💙 I love that you explain the breakdown of ingredients and why it's good for your skin! This makes me want to throw out everything in my arsenal and purchase just these products. I spent $280 on Zo skincare and I feel like it does nothing but wreck my skin. Makes me sick on how much money I spent on it so I feel like I'm forced to use it.
Thank you for this great post! It’s very encouraging to see a professional promoting affordable skin care. One thing I would like to see is how these products play with makeup; particularly concealers and foundations. I seem to have a lot of problems with makeup pilling on top of skin care.
Geek & Gorgeous also has A-Game 10 0.1% for $19.90 and A-Game 5 0.05% for $14.90 retinaldehydes which are very nice and I alternate them with the Naturium. I like both of those much better than the Maelove Moonlight and it costs far less. I also have been using the Isintree TW Real Bifida for several years now and I like it too. Another good Bifida serum is Tocobo Bifida Biome.
I did get a response from them and they informed me that their products are only sold on their site and they aren't adding Paypal as a payment option. Too bad ... I think they will lose prospective customers ... they lost this one.
You are such a ray of sunshine Penny! Thank you for educating us and being mindful of the many facets of skin care and well being. Blessings always, always!
Hello beautiful Penny! I hope you’re doing well! What a fantastic video as always! I love budget skincare! There’s no reason to buy overpriced products when there are so many awesome budget ones. I remember the first time you mentioned urea and recommended Sukoyaka Suhada on your channel, I can’t believe it’s been 6 years ago. Thank you as always and have a wonderful rest of the week 🥰
I love using a peptide serum but there are so many different types of peptides so I would greatly appreciate your explanation of each and product recommendations.
Additional knowledge on budget skin care. TFS🎉 In the sequence of applying skin care, where would you use the isintree & or Beta Glucan serums. I've been using irea & drmtlgy for yrs, ever since you recommended them Happy Fall 🍁 🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂
Hi Penn! I LOVE Prequel, thank you for showing it. Have you tried any of the Numbuzin brand? I love there sunscreen, I heard about it from the RUclips channel Mandy Davis MUA. It is my absolute favorite of the moment. I can't wait to try the sunscreen you highlighted. ❤
❤👍😍 Thank you for all these great suggestions! While I was watching your video on my pbone I had the split screen up so I could be shopping for these products on amazon while you were talking about them. Lol ...can't help it... it's the multitasker in me. Lol The last one wasn't on amazon but I still was able to find a Korean skincare product with bifida (bifida is something I haven't heard of before you talked about it on this video. Thanks!❤). The one I looked at sounds like a dupe for the EL product I used to use. It's called MANYO FACTORY Bifida Biome Complex Ampoule 1.7 fl oz (50ml) Korean Skincare, Facial Skin Rejuvenating, with 10-types-of Hyaluronic Acid. 🤔 Thinking I'll have to try that one. Thank you for all you do to help us have great skin. ❤😍❤ Hope you have a fantastic week!
Love your videos. Would love to hear something on sagging skin. I am 67. Have no interest in any invasive procedures and I know nothing you rub on will take care of sagging skin, but need to know if there is something that will help. You always look so beautiful!
I'm a big believer in Retinaldehyde...btw....I'm 67 also....I tried retin A....but it was just too harsh...the retinaldehyde does not cause irritation..:-) I use it every other night. I also just got into using some ayurvedic oils and find them excellent for aging, sensitive skin.
@@kathleenb3096 Hi, Can you please share which Ayurvedic oils that you're using for your skin, & what it is that you like about them, the results that you're having. Thanks.
Estriol cream available on Amazon ised together with 15% glycolic serum is proven to thicken skin 38% in clinical trial.Consuming collagen peptides,Vitamin C (liposomal form is the best) and making sure you have Good Oils(Avocado,Extra Virgin Olive Oil),and Norwegian Salmon Oil daily in capsules plus upping carotenoids like carrots and cantaloupe makes a big improvement.
You can't be beat, Penny! Time for me to change up some products, but I seek confirmation. For Day 0 of 0.5 micro needling, is Reviv Ultimate serum an equal/improved quality replacement to NeoGenesis Recovery, with growth factors? Can I use it along with the needless serum you love?
Hi Penny, Karla, 62 in Ok. I use Kranicel 70% Bifida Serum. I purchase it on Amazon. It’s under $20.00 for 2oz. Would you please do a review on this serum? I absolutely love it. Thank you for all the great content you bring to all us women. I learn so much from you.
Hi Penn, talk about perfect timing. I’m actually investigating or lol researching which chemical exfoliate I should use as I have very dry sensitive skin I was thinking of mad hippie AHA peel, but now that you’ve mentioned the minimalist PHA face toner I may consider this. I currently use DRMTLGY micro dermabrasion scrub which I like and I love they’re peptide cream and universal tinted moisturizer. Thank you so much for the review. Happy belated Women’s Day! 😎
Enjoyed this video, question, would this routine be good for 59+ women trying fix years of not taking very good care. of facial skin? I really want results but am trying to look for budget friendly, impactful actives. Thank you in advance.
The Isntree Bifida ampule was my only consistent holy grail for years. It has this lovely, rich slip to it without being greasy. It feels luxurious! It was even hard to "let go" a while ago to try out the Numbuzin softening serum (which is also great!), but I'm sure it will find itself back on the shelf :)
I picked up the minimalist pha earlier this year after scrolling through Amazon and it quickly became my favorite liquid exfoliant. I was working with my derm to get my rosacea under control, so my routine was really pared down. Once my skin was balanced and I was interested in adding a liquid exfoliant back into my routine, I picked this up because I knew a lactic or glycolic would be too spicy for me. This pha is just enough to help buff the surface of my skin without getting any sign of irritation. I will definitely repurchase it moving forward. So glad to see that you tried it and liked it!
Hi Penny, can you tell me the best product for inflamed skin & to restore the skin barrier on the face? Every time I try new things to try to make progress, these 2 things happen and then my skin looks way worse! I try to be very careful but...? Thank you for all the help!❤
Hi, Penn. What asian market did you find the Sukoyaka Sahada Urea Moisture Lotion? It's not on Amazon and I live fairly close to Portland OR area! Thank you so much for this timely video.
Hi Penn…I tried the routine prescribed from Agency Skincare because of your recommendation and I used it for over a year…loved it and saw results for sure! I just couldn’t afford to keep the subscription going, so i wanted to ask what you recommend for hyperpigmentation that works the best? That is my biggest problem and I’m about to be 43, live in Florida and want the easiest routine where I will truly see results
Hi! I’ve had Q switch done twice on a spot on my face which is deep. I’ve also used hydroquinone and adapalene. When you apply the topicals, do you put it on the whole face or just the spot? Thank you!
I just got the Prequel vitamin c. I been using Geek and Gorgeous and been happy with it. But was curious since Prequel and it’s still way cheaper than what you buy at Sephora. Also, Skin Aqua is amazing. Great price. Great to layer on a hot day.
Hydrogenated casto oil is not so good for skin unfortunately if you dive deep. But they add a few amount for thickness i guess. Better alternative to elf is a bestselling Torriden dive in serum
I wanted to thank you for recommending the DRMTLGY eye sunscreen colour corrector. It’s amazing and I don’t have to use additional concealer. I wish Prequel shipped to Canada because I was all set to order several of their products. I get it’s tricky to ship internationally though. Thank you for all the great videos
I hope more brands ship to Canada sooner than later. I’m literally 6 hours from the Canadian border and it’s ridiculous that you can’t get things we get!
Hi from Australia Penn. Thanks for a stream lined am, pm routine. I am definitely going to get rid of so much stuff I use unnecessarily. Your beautiful face looks swollen or puffy today. Maybe a bit of work done that isn't applied by yourself. I'd love to know what procedures you think are acceptable and not too extreme. ❤❤
Thank you for all your hard work and to extend your knowledge. I am older and struggling with under eye and eyelid dryness, whatever I use, my concealer ends up looking dry. Please advise for dryness and what you would suggest. Thank you!
I think I’m the only one on the planet who can’t use the prequel gleanser or micellar water! My skin gets so angry and irritated! Not sure what it is about those products. Any other suggestions?m
Penny what do you think of Truth Treatment light retinol gel? I like how moisturizing it is and have used it for a couple yrs but would like to know your opinion of it to see if I should repurchase it.
I see Prequel just dropped two more skin utility items (a gel and a balm). Have you checked out the Cocokind Retinol Body Cream or any of the OTC Curology products like their dark spot serum? I believe Dr. Idriss recommended the minimalist ceramide 0.3% moisturizer.
I just don't understand how people can say a certain product is working when you're putting about 6 or more on. To me it doesn't seem like the products could all be getting down in the skin when there are so many layered on top of the other. I think just using retin a and a moisturizer with spf is more than enough.
Yes! And those (like Penn) who are near flawless…how can they tell what is working? I have plenty of room for improvement, so maybe I should start a RUclips channel 😂
Well VeraBella SPF is so so good. It’s expensive though, but truly is both an SPF and a moisturizer. 🩷 If you decide to try it I have a code that will save you money- the code is PENN and I think it gets 15% off 😊
Thank you Penn! I just loaded my cart with five Prequel products and it was under $100.00!! While I love to treat myself with some luxury products, these look fantastic! I love that they use urea. Great video, as always ❤
I have a couple of sun spots on my cheeks and was wondering what you thought of adding The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin after my Vitamin C in the AM routine. This was all good information. Thanks.
Great video! I don't think I saw any products with ceramides and peptides. Of course, there's always Cerave, but any other product recommendations for ceramides and peptides that are budget friendly? Better still, a moisturizer that has both? Thanks.
I really love the Drmtlgy Peptide Night Cream- it is not budget but not too expense either if you pick it up on sale. They are having a 30% off sale right now (today is the last day) or code Penn saves 20%
I just orderred every item for the basic routine (not the add-ins at the end) and it came to $220 CDN. Can you explain why this Prequel Vitamin C product is better than Timeless 20% Vitamin C (recommended by Angie from Hot & Flashy)? Also do you have a link for the star tshirt your waering :).
I was just I teoduced to you through Gabi. I watched the video, "Skincare on a budget" with Gabi and I saw some similarities with your recommendations in that video. I have mature, dry, textured skin. I am a little bit confused since there are so.e differences and I want to make sure I purchase all that I need. Which video should I focus on as I revamp my entire skincare routine? Also, I was wondering with the additional serum recommendations in this video, when in the AM/PM routine do you fit these in? Thank you for coming into my life at this exact time of my life. I just turned 62 and all of a sudden, my skincare and makeup routines don't work anymore and aren't flattering. You have absolutely impressed me with your knowledge and the way you explain the science that makes sense to me! I am now a believer and an all-time follower!!!!
Hi there! Ok let me help. There are TONS of options so we should narrow down! Tell me about your skin: what is your top 3 concerns? You definitely do not need everything from both videos….they are just options!
In the video, you mentioned having a discount code for the Prequel products -- I don't see it in the description, though. Did I misunderstand? Just wanting to make sure I'm getting the best deal before I order the Urea moisturizer! :)
Please please I would love to know what you would recommend for use with red light therapy wand. I am considering the LADUORA VELVE PRO and you can purchase with or without a WATERMELON GELATO LIGHT ENHANCING SERUM is formulated with a unique complex of watermelon extract, niacinamide, and peptides. You are my #1 for skincare and would love to know your recommendation. Looking to spend less than $50 on product to use with the wand. Thank you so sincerely in advance.
Hi! You know you don’t need ANY topical with red light, right? If you want to use something look at antioxidants. Green tea is great - look at Isntree green tea 😊
@PENNSMITHSKINCARE Oh thank you for your immediate response. You are such an asset to this platform. I know it's not necessary but figured using something with it would speed any results. I was going to ask specifically about Cosrx Snail Mucin Niacinamide.
Honestly there is zero regulations on that. So a brand can call themselves medical grade if they want to. I referred to it but truly it is a marketing term.
Brilliant, comprehensive, thoughtful study and presentation of some awesome products. Thank you Penny for always explaining products and processes. You have taught me SO much.
Penn, Kudos to you for your knowledge and inquisitive nature. I have learned more from you than many other influencers. The only thing I find confusing, is the change in product recommendations. I’ve purchased products you recommend, but then find you recommend others??? By the way , you are a true beauty (those eyes!)
I don't know if you want to know this but I tried the Gleanser and it was super drying. I tried the Barrier repair and it didn't hydrate at all. I could feel the Dimethecone in it but did nothing for moisture, so am returning. To be fair, I do have extra dry skin but Mad Hippie does not dry my skin out & the bio cellular water does a pretty good job. I like Mad Hippie for second cleanse. Also, just oil for a first cleanse. I use it to moisturize and loosen up sun screen,etc. & Then use a damp wash cloth and with small circular motions go over all my face. Sometimes I put a hot wash cloth on for about a minute or so to bring the oil up. In AM this is enough or just water depending on dryness. Don't usually need a second cleanse just find another clean spot on wash cloth and go over my face and see if there's more on it. Anyhow, if there are any older ladies out there with super dry skin thought I'd pass this along. I Jojoba is the best moisturizer. It seems to match the skin. Soaks in & plumps. I live in the desert so miday I'll put some on my hands, rub together and press onto dry areas. Only need a little.☺️ Anyway, I hope this doesn't step on some toes, it's just my experience. I don't live by the ocean anymore. The desert is really rough on skin!! Especially dry skin! Oh! I bought your Instree Bifida ampule suggestion & I love it! Definitely hydrates! YAY! THANKS PENN❤❤❤
Hey I LOVE getting alternative reviews!! This may help someone with very dry skin! I am sorry that it didn’t work for you, but thank you for taking the time to leave your experience 🩷🩷
Thank you for this great video! Can you please explain the differences/similarities of different types of skin products. For example, I have many products that I think I am duping but not sure 🤔. I have Urea toner and Ginseng Toner and Green Tea toner, are these the same therefore I only need one? I have Drmtlgy Needless serum and Copper Peptide serum and Vitamin C L-Ascorbic and Matixyl and Niacinamide, do I need all of these?? Do you need DNA Repair along with Revive Growth Factors? Thank you Penny, you are great:)
Penny also had recommended Hypochlorous Acid Spray, from Base Labs for that as well. It also helps with skin break outs, and it also soothes after doing a strong facial exfoliant, and for men after shaving their face. I LOVE it, and am so glad I bought it after Penny's recommendation.
Well it’s a very nice vitamin C but Drmtlgy still has my heart- the added ingredients in the Drmtlgy make it beneficial in more ways than just antioxidant protection etc. 🩷🩷 But it’s significantly more money than prequel- so that has to be taken in to consideration 😊
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE thanks so much, Penn! I agree with you about spending a bit more on the actives! I am 57 so think I might try some prequel products and mix in the DRMTLGY for a couple. So appreciate your deep dives and wealth of knowledge that you share!
Thanks for this info! I’ve been hearing about THD ascorbate as a better option for vitamin C. I’ve heard that L-ascorbic acid doesn’t penetrate as well and isn’t stable. Wondering your thoughts on this?
So LAA isn’t stable, true. And THD is fat soluble so theoretically it may penetrate our lipid barrier better. All that said, LAA is the one that is studied and proven effective so until THD gets that kind of true verification it’s just theories (although I do think THD is great personally).
❤👍😍Thank you for this AM /PM routine! What I was wondering is if you would ever consider reviewing a mini HIFU device? I've seen other videos of people who are using this and have had good results but I'd love to have your take on it.
Thank you 🎉 I love the bifida ampoule. I’ve been using it since your affordable dupes video a few years ago. It really is an excellent product. I also added the Secret Key essence. Those 2 products have truly improved my skin! I already had a solid retinol, vitamin C and glycolic acid routine. Adding those 2 products did wonders. They’re now staples. Thank you for making these helpful videos!! I’m 49 and my skin looks and feels amazing 🤩
Thanks, Penny. My skin does not do well with L-Acorbic Acid, can you please recommend a budget Vit-C with a different derivative please. Can you please also do a video breaking down the VERY confusing aspects of peptides, what each one actually does for the skin, and how on earth can we figure out what's what when we're trying to compare products, whether budget, or a med-high end. It's the one topic that Really makes me especially confused! Have you investigated yet the New Line of Pacifica's products called "Future Youth?" And specifically their peptide serum. Thanks for all you do for us Penny. I trust your judgement Implicitly.
Thank you so much for these recommendations. I use Osmosis Rescue and Osmosis Catalyst. They are SUPER expensive. I use them every night and I really love them, but would you know of a budget friendly version of either of these?
I like Cerave oil cleanser. What about Dr Brenner vit C or DRMTLGY vit C? Excited to try the elf serum. Squalane and hyaluronic acid are both plentiful in young skin and progressively depleted in thinner, fragile, sensitive, reactive post menopausal skin. Important to me is that it includes B5, which is antiinflammatory and hydrating.
Love your videos, Penn! Would it be possible to make videos with products that DO NOT CONTAIN HYALURONIC ACID or derivatives of HA for us extremely dry, crinkly skin gals, that live in the Southwest with no humidity? I’ve just about placed many orders and found out they have this product which I cannot use and have to cancel the order. Thank you for your help! God bless everyone!
This is FANTASTIC.....id also LOVE to start using Galactomyces to help with skin softening and acne .... could you recommend a toner or serum affordable with HIGH amount of this ingredient that you have used before perhaps ? Thank you!..... you are the main skin care influencer on RUclips that I follow closely I just love your recommendations and your education of these products for our skin❤🎉🎉❤🎉🎉🎉
I have been using KaramMD Trifecta since December. It is quite expensive and I would lonve your opinion on its ingredients. Is it worth it? My results are barely noticable at the 3 month mark.
I like it after I cleanse and after any essence or toner. So those watery things first then the Reviv. I like it AM and PM but there are times I skip one or the other (usually when I’m testing something else) 🩷
Love these videos🙌I always thought I had to use 💰products or they weren’t good! Not any more, I love Elf, Drmtlgy & Mae Love, not as budget friendly, but great products & nice company, all these are cruelty free & that’s important to me. Your skin is beautiful 🤗👍💜 M
Penny, sorry to bother you, but i have a question; have you tried or what is your opinion on the Sukoyaka Suhada Urea moisturizer face cream. I use the lotion and the eye cream (I use it as a serum under my eye cream). I would like to know your opinion. Thanks a lot for your hard work, you truly have a beautiful soul and manners.
If I were to only get one of the two- Iunik or Isintree, which would you recommend? I’m looking to add in things that help with wrinkles, texture & sagging. I really appreciate this video as I am approaching retirement & need to scale down my costs. But I love skin care & just want to help my skin age as well as possible.
What do you think of the Naturium Super Vitamin C serum? I emailed the company to find out the percentage of vitamin C. They wouldn't tell me. They said the serum was effective because of it's overall formulation. Your thoughts? Thanks.
I have such a hard time finding a moisturizer that loves my oily skin. The Calecim products seem to love it a lot! It's so expensive 😂 But honestly, when it works ❤ Oh, and when you're oily, you need such a teeny tiny amount! A lil bit really does go a long way! 😅
Have you tried the new Dr Pen Q2 with LED and micro current? I wonder if it’s worth the money. I already have the M8. I don’t have a micro current device but I do have an RLT panel.
This was so helpful! Can you do one geared towards acne prone skin? The Prequel moisturizer has shea butter which is no bueno for most of us acne prone folks. And I feel like I would need a cleanser with an active in it. Any affordable serums that would be dupes isclininc active serum or jan marini bioclear serum would be greatly appreciated!
Love this thank you. I want to start on an oil what do u recommend? Also what Asian serum with bifida and galcto do you recommend? I have been using Manyo and in the past numbuzen 3. I am sure didn’t spell correctly. Thanks again for all your amazing work
How about a deep dive into eyecreams??? Luxe vs budget & the dupes❤ I have so many good ones but i slways feel like i want more hydration. I also want my eye makeup to stay put LOL I do tap a drop of Sukoyaka Suhada into my under eye area before eyecream

One of the many things I love about Penn is that she doesn’t just look for accolades in her comments. She addresses the questions. She RESPONDS. She cares about our questions and that we get the information. Thank you, sweet Penn! ❤
(I asked a simple question below about whether a product has a glass container. She RESPONDED that it does. She didn’t just think oh, who cares or that person didn’t even say they liked the video. She answered my question. 💕)
Yes!! You’re right. She has answered every concerned I have mentioned to her. That’s very thoughtful and nice of her.

Do you know of any growth factor that's safe for someone who has had basal cell carcinoma and still gets small spots frozen off every couple of years? I hear they are good for you, and some are safe, but no one will answer my question. Thanks in advance!
Hi Penn,
Could you please do a video of Korean products that would make up some of our routine so that we can buy Sukoyaka, iUnik beta glucan & of course one of the sunscreens from one of the retailers like Stylvana? I’d love to know what you would absolutely recommend & what general products you might skip. For example, since they are just beginning to develop retinol products, would you avoid them. I trust you implicitly, so would really love your guidance. Thank you for all the positivity you put out into,the world. 🌎
Thanks for sharing these & thinking of those of us who don't buy "medical grade", luxury skincare.
I appreciate you so, so much !
I appreciate you Lena!
55F here - this is the best, most concise information on skin care products that I've ever heard.
🙌🏼👏🏼🎉💜♥️💙
I love that you explain the breakdown of ingredients and why it's good for your skin! This makes me want to throw out everything in my arsenal and purchase just these products. I spent $280 on Zo skincare and I feel like it does nothing but wreck my skin. Makes me sick on how much money I spent on it so I feel like I'm forced to use it.
Thank you for this great post! It’s very encouraging to see a professional promoting affordable skin care. One thing I would like to see is how these products play with makeup; particularly concealers and foundations. I seem to have a lot of problems with makeup pilling on top of skin care.
Geek & Gorgeous also has A-Game 10 0.1% for $19.90 and A-Game 5 0.05% for $14.90 retinaldehydes which are very nice and I alternate them with the Naturium. I like both of those much better than the Maelove Moonlight and it costs far less. I also have been using the Isintree TW Real Bifida for several years now and I like it too. Another good Bifida serum is Tocobo Bifida Biome.
I need to order some G&G!
Looking in to Tocobo now too 😍
Thank you so much!
I did get a response from them and they informed me that their products are only sold on their site and they aren't adding Paypal as a payment option. Too bad ... I think they will lose prospective customers ... they lost this one.
You are such a ray of sunshine Penny! Thank you for educating us and being mindful of the many facets of skin care and well being. Blessings always, always!
Thank you Lisette 😍
So incredibly kind of you!
The tinted moisturizer you recommend has Niacinamide in it. for Sensitive skin, I should not use a Niacinamide after Vitamin C right?
I have sensitive skin and can’t use any products that contain Niacinamide
Hello beautiful Penny! I hope you’re doing well! What a fantastic video as always! I love budget skincare! There’s no reason to buy overpriced products when there are so many awesome budget ones. I remember the first time you mentioned urea and recommended Sukoyaka Suhada on your channel, I can’t believe it’s been 6 years ago. Thank you as always and have a wonderful rest of the week 🥰
I love using a peptide serum but there are so many different types of peptides so I would greatly appreciate your explanation of each and product recommendations.
I just commented on the same thing! Yes, it's Very confusing to say the least!
She has videos all about peptides
But would she recommend a peptide in addition to this routine?
@@scnooniestever5016 yes
I love the Prequel Gleanser. It doesn't dry out my already dry skin and it's in a pretty silver 🩶 eye-catching bottle 😊
That micellar water irritates my skin 👎 but I love Prequel Gleanser
Additional knowledge on budget skin care. TFS🎉 In the sequence of applying skin care, where would you use the isintree & or Beta Glucan serums. I've been using irea & drmtlgy for yrs, ever since you recommended them Happy Fall 🍁 🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂
I love the minimalist pha. Works so good and very gentle
Oh yay!!
Hi Penn! I LOVE Prequel, thank you for showing it.
Have you tried any of the Numbuzin brand?
I love there sunscreen, I heard about it from the RUclips channel Mandy Davis MUA. It is my absolute favorite of the moment. I can't wait to try the sunscreen you highlighted. ❤
❤👍😍 Thank you for all these great suggestions! While I was watching your video on my pbone I had the split screen up so I could be shopping for these products on amazon while you were talking about them. Lol
...can't help it... it's the multitasker in me. Lol
The last one wasn't on amazon but I still was able to find a Korean skincare product with bifida (bifida is something I haven't heard of before you talked about it on this video. Thanks!❤). The one I looked at sounds like a dupe for the EL product I used to use. It's called MANYO FACTORY Bifida Biome Complex Ampoule 1.7 fl oz (50ml) Korean Skincare, Facial Skin Rejuvenating, with 10-types-of Hyaluronic Acid.
🤔 Thinking I'll have to try that one.
Thank you for all you do to help us have great skin. ❤😍❤
Hope you have a fantastic week!
Love your videos. Would love to hear something on sagging skin. I am 67. Have no interest in any invasive procedures and I know nothing you rub on will take care of sagging skin, but need to know if there is something that will help. You always look so beautiful!
Besides surgery, a smile is the best thing you can do to look beautiful!
Microneedling can help build collagen which may help tighten your skin. Penn has videos.
I'm a big believer in Retinaldehyde...btw....I'm 67 also....I tried retin A....but it was just too harsh...the retinaldehyde does not cause irritation..:-) I use it every other night. I also just got into using some ayurvedic oils and find them excellent for aging, sensitive skin.
@@kathleenb3096
Hi, Can you please share which Ayurvedic oils that you're using for your skin, & what it is that you like about them, the results that you're having. Thanks.
Estriol cream available on Amazon ised together with 15% glycolic serum is proven to thicken skin 38% in clinical trial.Consuming collagen peptides,Vitamin C (liposomal form is the best) and making sure you have Good Oils(Avocado,Extra Virgin Olive Oil),and Norwegian Salmon Oil daily in capsules plus upping carotenoids like carrots and cantaloupe makes a big improvement.
You can't be beat, Penny! Time for me to change up some products, but I seek confirmation. For Day 0 of 0.5 micro needling, is Reviv Ultimate serum an equal/improved quality replacement to NeoGenesis Recovery, with growth factors? Can I use it along with the needless serum you love?
Hi Penny, Karla, 62 in Ok. I use Kranicel 70% Bifida Serum. I purchase it on Amazon. It’s under $20.00 for 2oz. Would you please do a review on this serum? I absolutely love it. Thank you for all the great content you bring to all us women. I learn so much from you.
Hi Penn, talk about perfect timing. I’m actually investigating or lol researching which chemical exfoliate I should use as I have very dry sensitive skin I was thinking of mad hippie AHA peel, but now that you’ve mentioned the minimalist PHA face toner I may consider this. I currently use DRMTLGY micro dermabrasion scrub which I like and I love they’re peptide cream and universal tinted moisturizer.
Thank you so much for the review. Happy belated Women’s Day! 😎
In your opinion, how does the prequel vitamin c compare to the timeless?
Enjoyed this video, question, would this routine be good for 59+ women trying fix years of not taking very good care. of facial skin? I really want results but am trying to look for budget friendly, impactful actives. Thank you in advance.
The Isntree Bifida ampule was my only consistent holy grail for years. It has this lovely, rich slip to it without being greasy. It feels luxurious! It was even hard to "let go" a while ago to try out the Numbuzin softening serum (which is also great!), but I'm sure it will find itself back on the shelf :)
Too bad that Prequel does't ship to Canada. Otherwise, I will try their products for sure.
It is also being sold on Amazon.
I picked up the minimalist pha earlier this year after scrolling through Amazon and it quickly became my favorite liquid exfoliant. I was working with my derm to get my rosacea under control, so my routine was really pared down. Once my skin was balanced and I was interested in adding a liquid exfoliant back into my routine, I picked this up because I knew a lactic or glycolic would be too spicy for me. This pha is just enough to help buff the surface of my skin without getting any sign of irritation. I will definitely repurchase it moving forward. So glad to see that you tried it and liked it!
Hi Penny, can you tell me the best product for inflamed skin & to restore the skin barrier on the face?
Every time I try new things to try to make progress, these 2 things happen and then my skin looks way worse!
I try to be very careful but...?
Thank you for all the help!❤
Hi, Penn. What asian market did you find the Sukoyaka Sahada Urea Moisture Lotion? It's not on Amazon and I live fairly close to Portland OR area! Thank you so much for this timely video.
Hi Penny- how do you think the new "matte" version of DRMTLGY works on its own or under makeup ? Also does water cream play well under makeup ?
Hi Penn…I tried the routine prescribed from Agency Skincare because of your recommendation and I used it for over a year…loved it and saw results for sure! I just couldn’t afford to keep the subscription going, so i wanted to ask what you recommend for hyperpigmentation that works the best? That is my biggest problem and I’m about to be 43, live in Florida and want the easiest routine where I will truly see results
Hi! I’ve had Q switch done twice on a spot on my face which is deep. I’ve also used hydroquinone and adapalene. When you apply the topicals, do you put it on the whole face or just the spot? Thank you!
@penn.smith.skincare is there a brand that has the tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate form of vitamin C that you recommend?
Dr. Idriss
I just got the Prequel vitamin c. I been using Geek and Gorgeous and been happy with it. But was curious since Prequel and it’s still way cheaper than what you buy at Sephora. Also, Skin Aqua is amazing. Great price. Great to layer on a hot day.
I’ll be interested in hearing how you compare the prequel to the G&G!
I agree on the skin aqua 🩷🩷
Hydrogenated casto oil is not so good for skin unfortunately if you dive deep. But they add a few amount for thickness i guess.
Better alternative to elf is a bestselling Torriden dive in serum
I wanted to thank you for recommending the DRMTLGY eye sunscreen colour corrector. It’s amazing and I don’t have to use additional concealer. I wish Prequel shipped to Canada because I was all set to order several of their products. I get it’s tricky to ship internationally though. Thank you for all the great videos
I hope more brands ship to Canada sooner than later. I’m literally 6 hours from the Canadian border and it’s ridiculous that you can’t get things we get!
Hi from Australia Penn. Thanks for a stream lined am, pm routine. I am definitely going to get rid of so much stuff I use unnecessarily. Your beautiful face looks swollen or puffy today. Maybe a bit of work done that isn't applied by yourself. I'd love to know what procedures you think are acceptable and not too extreme. ❤❤
Yes I was puffy when I filmed this, not sure why. Just my fluctuating face 🤷♀️
Thank you for all your hard work and to extend your knowledge. I am older and struggling with under eye and eyelid dryness, whatever I use, my concealer ends up looking dry. Please advise for dryness and what you would suggest. Thank you!
I'm a big big fan of Prequel. Everything is so good. Great video.
Thank you! I agree 🩷
I think I’m the only one on the planet who can’t use the prequel gleanser or micellar water! My skin gets so angry and irritated! Not sure what it is about those products. Any other suggestions?m
Hi Penny, Do you think ZO products are worth the money?
Thank you so much for being you!❤
I love cost hacks …. I can spend those saved $$$ on lasers, too, etc…
I have become a Prequel follower! Their Vitamin is a dupe for Skinceuticals! I can purchase 8 bottles Prequel for 1 Sc!
You had me at budget. Please keep it coming. Thank you for your thorough & honest reviews, Penn!
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Penny what do you think of Truth Treatment light retinol gel? I like how moisturizing it is and have used it for a couple yrs but would like to know your opinion of it to see if I should repurchase it.
Absolutely agree with regular stuff and more expensive products in vit a&c and peptides.
Penn, you’ve sold me on the prequel. Now, prequel just has to agree to ship to Canada 🇨🇦!!
How do you feel about the Kosas plump and juicy vegan collagen spray- on serum?
what are your thoughts on 'farmstay collagen water full moist deep cleansing foam' cleanser?
I see Prequel just dropped two more skin utility items (a gel and a balm). Have you checked out the Cocokind Retinol Body Cream or any of the OTC Curology products like their dark spot serum? I believe Dr. Idriss recommended the minimalist ceramide 0.3% moisturizer.
Please add content on aging and thin skin on hands.
Would it be possible for you to review Pomifera Skincare when able?
I am using the DRMTLGY serum after .05% retinol and azelic cream at night. Do you think that is to much?
No that’s not too much, how is your skin doing with it?
I just don't understand how people can say a certain product is working when you're putting about 6 or more on. To me it doesn't seem like the products could all be getting down in the skin when there are so many layered on top of the other. I think just using retin a and a moisturizer with spf is more than enough.
Are you talking about this video?
Because that’s pretty close to this routine lol
Yes! And those (like Penn) who are near flawless…how can they tell what is working? I have plenty of room for improvement, so maybe I should start a RUclips channel 😂
That's pretty much what she prescribed....?
Can you recommend a combination sunscreen/moisturizer for mature combo sensitive skin? The DRMTLGY one is not moisturizing enough for me on its own.
Well VeraBella SPF is so so good. It’s expensive though, but truly is both an SPF and a moisturizer. 🩷
If you decide to try it I have a code that will save you money- the code is PENN and I think it gets 15% off 😊
Thank you Penn! I just loaded my cart with five Prequel products and it was under $100.00!! While I love to treat myself with some luxury products, these look fantastic! I love that they use urea. Great video, as always ❤
And wait till you try them! Prequel is as good as any med grade product (of similar type) I’ve tried!!
😍😍
If you want to use hydroquinone for hyperpigmentation where in the routine does that go? It’s prescription only right?
You have a new fan with me! Great routine and information. I will follow you for the happy and smoothing way about you. Great video and great info.
😊 Thank you!
I have a couple of sun spots on my cheeks and was wondering what you thought of adding The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin after my Vitamin C in the AM routine. This was all good information. Thanks.
This was an Awesome video!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 😊 ❤
I’m so glad you liked it! 🩷🩷
Great video! I don't think I saw any products with ceramides and peptides. Of course, there's always Cerave, but any other product recommendations for ceramides and peptides that are budget friendly? Better still, a moisturizer that has both? Thanks.
I really love the Drmtlgy Peptide Night Cream- it is not budget but not too expense either if you pick it up on sale. They are having a 30% off sale right now (today is the last day) or code Penn saves 20%
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE Thank you! You are awesome 😍
I just orderred every item for the basic routine (not the add-ins at the end) and it came to $220 CDN. Can you explain why this Prequel Vitamin C product is better than Timeless 20% Vitamin C (recommended by Angie from Hot & Flashy)? Also do you have a link for the star tshirt your waering :).
hi hoping you can answer my questions? @pennsmithskincare
How Real bifida serum can be layered with other skincare products? Any conflict with vitamin c? Any conflict with Tret or Retinol? With peptides?
I layer it with all of those things with no issues 🩷
I was just I teoduced to you through Gabi. I watched the video, "Skincare on a budget" with Gabi and I saw some similarities with your recommendations in that video. I have mature, dry, textured skin. I am a little bit confused since there are so.e differences and I want to make sure I purchase all that I need. Which video should I focus on as I revamp my entire skincare routine? Also, I was wondering with the additional serum recommendations in this video, when in the AM/PM routine do you fit these in? Thank you for coming into my life at this exact time of my life. I just turned 62 and all of a sudden, my skincare and makeup routines don't work anymore and aren't flattering. You have absolutely impressed me with your knowledge and the way you explain the science that makes sense to me! I am now a believer and an all-time follower!!!!
Hi there!
Ok let me help.
There are TONS of options so we should narrow down!
Tell me about your skin: what is your top 3 concerns?
You definitely do not need everything from both videos….they are just options!
This is awesome!! I have always been into skincare and try my best but I’m on a budget. Thank you so much!
In the video, you mentioned having a discount code for the Prequel products -- I don't see it in the description, though. Did I misunderstand? Just wanting to make sure I'm getting the best deal before I order the Urea moisturizer! :)
I have a discount code for naturium but not prequel- I’m so so sorry if I said that! I need to go re-Watch 😬
Love this video!! It reminds me why I started watching your channel. Thank you!
Thank you for being here! 🩷🥹
Something for hyperpigmentation? And where do you put it in the routine?
Penn please can you do a similar list for us European shoppers all of these apart from bioderma are hard for us to source. Please :-)
Oh yes. Oh my gosh, YES! I’ll work on it!
Please please I would love to know what you would recommend for use with red light therapy wand. I am considering the LADUORA VELVE PRO and you can purchase with or without a WATERMELON GELATO LIGHT ENHANCING SERUM is formulated with a unique complex of watermelon extract, niacinamide, and peptides. You are my #1 for skincare and would love to know your recommendation. Looking to spend less than $50 on product to use with the wand. Thank you so sincerely in advance.
Hi! You know you don’t need ANY topical with red light, right?
If you want to use something look at antioxidants. Green tea is great - look at Isntree green tea 😊
@PENNSMITHSKINCARE Oh thank you for your immediate response. You are such an asset to this platform. I know it's not necessary but figured using something with it would speed any results. I was going to ask specifically about Cosrx Snail Mucin Niacinamide.
Love your site. What classifies "Medical Grade"..products?
Honestly there is zero regulations on that.
So a brand can call themselves medical grade if they want to.
I referred to it but truly it is a marketing term.
What do you think of the Olay super serum that has Vitamin c and niacinamide?
I think it looks really interesting! I keep meaning to order it!
Brilliant, comprehensive, thoughtful study and presentation of some awesome products. Thank you Penny for always explaining products and processes. You have taught me SO much.
Thanks you so much for this kind comment, totally made my day! 😍
Penn,
Kudos to you for your knowledge and inquisitive nature. I have learned more from you than many other influencers.
The only thing I find confusing, is the change in product recommendations. I’ve purchased products you recommend, but then find you recommend others???
By the way , you are a true beauty (those eyes!)
I am constantly testing new products that come my way so whenever I find something I love I share it! 🥰
Loved this
I don't know if you want to know this but I tried the Gleanser and it was super drying.
I tried the Barrier repair and it didn't hydrate at all. I could feel the Dimethecone in it but did nothing for moisture, so am returning.
To be fair, I do have extra dry skin but Mad Hippie does not dry my skin out & the bio cellular water does a pretty good job. I like Mad Hippie for second cleanse.
Also, just oil for a first cleanse. I use it to moisturize and loosen up sun screen,etc. & Then use a damp wash cloth and with small circular motions go over all my face. Sometimes I put a hot wash cloth on for about a minute or so to bring the oil up.
In AM this is enough or just water depending on dryness.
Don't usually need a second cleanse just find another clean spot on wash cloth and go over my face and see if there's more on it.
Anyhow, if there are any older ladies out there with super dry skin thought I'd pass this along. I Jojoba is the best moisturizer. It seems to match the skin. Soaks in & plumps. I live in the desert so miday I'll put some on my hands, rub together and press onto dry areas. Only need a little.☺️
Anyway, I hope this doesn't step on some toes, it's just my experience. I don't live by the ocean anymore. The desert is really rough on skin!! Especially dry skin!
Oh! I bought your Instree Bifida ampule suggestion & I love it! Definitely hydrates! YAY! THANKS PENN❤❤❤
Hey I LOVE getting alternative reviews!! This may help someone with very dry skin!
I am sorry that it didn’t work for you, but thank you for taking the time to leave your experience 🩷🩷
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE Thank you for telling me about them...who knows it could have been a hit!😃. The Instree is! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this great video! Can you please explain the differences/similarities of different types of skin products. For example, I have many products that I think I am duping but not sure 🤔. I have Urea toner and Ginseng Toner and Green Tea toner, are these the same therefore I only need one? I have Drmtlgy Needless serum and Copper Peptide serum and Vitamin C L-Ascorbic and Matixyl and Niacinamide, do I need all of these?? Do you need DNA Repair along with Revive Growth Factors? Thank you Penny, you are great:)
Thanks for listing ingredients.
the Sukoyaka urea really helps my eczema flare ups!
That’s wonderful!
Penny also had recommended Hypochlorous Acid Spray, from Base Labs for that as well. It also helps with skin break outs, and it also soothes after doing a strong facial exfoliant, and for men after shaving their face. I LOVE it, and am so glad I bought it after Penny's recommendation.
Great info as always!! I’m curious (price aside) how you would rate this vitamin c beside the DRMTLGY one…
Well it’s a very nice vitamin C but Drmtlgy still has my heart- the added ingredients in the Drmtlgy make it beneficial in more ways than just antioxidant protection etc. 🩷🩷
But it’s significantly more money than prequel- so that has to be taken in to consideration 😊
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE
thanks so much, Penn! I agree with you about spending a bit more on the actives! I am 57 so think I might try some prequel products and mix in the DRMTLGY for a couple. So appreciate your deep dives and wealth of knowledge that you share!
Thanks for this info! I’ve been hearing about THD ascorbate as a better option for vitamin C. I’ve heard that L-ascorbic acid doesn’t penetrate as well and isn’t stable. Wondering your thoughts on this?
So LAA isn’t stable, true. And THD is fat soluble so theoretically it may penetrate our lipid barrier better. All that said, LAA is the one that is studied and proven effective so until THD gets that kind of true verification it’s just theories (although I do think THD is great personally).
Got it! Thank you!

❤👍😍Thank you for this AM /PM routine! What I was wondering is if you would ever consider reviewing a mini HIFU device? I've seen other videos of people who are using this and have had good results but I'd love to have your take on it.
Thank you 🎉 I love the bifida ampoule. I’ve been using it since your affordable dupes video a few years ago. It really is an excellent product. I also added the Secret Key essence. Those 2 products have truly improved my skin!
I already had a solid retinol, vitamin C and glycolic acid routine.
Adding those 2 products did wonders. They’re now staples. Thank you for making these helpful videos!!
I’m 49 and my skin looks and feels amazing 🤩
Thanks, Penny.
My skin does not do well with L-Acorbic Acid, can you please recommend a budget Vit-C with a different derivative please.
Can you please also do a video breaking down the VERY confusing aspects of peptides, what each one actually does for the skin, and how on earth can we figure out what's what when we're trying to compare products, whether budget, or a med-high end. It's the one topic that Really makes me especially confused!
Have you investigated yet the New Line of Pacifica's products called "Future Youth?" And specifically their peptide serum.
Thanks for all you do for us Penny. I trust your judgement Implicitly.
Thank you so much for these recommendations. I use Osmosis Rescue and Osmosis Catalyst. They are SUPER expensive. I use them every night and I really love them, but would you know of a budget friendly version of either of these?
I like Cerave oil cleanser. What about Dr Brenner vit C or DRMTLGY vit C? Excited to try the elf serum. Squalane and hyaluronic acid are both plentiful in young skin and progressively depleted in thinner, fragile, sensitive, reactive post menopausal skin. Important to me is that it includes B5, which is antiinflammatory and hydrating.
Love your videos, Penn! Would it be possible to make videos with products that DO NOT CONTAIN HYALURONIC ACID or derivatives of HA for us extremely dry, crinkly skin gals, that live in the Southwest with no humidity? I’ve just about placed many orders and found out they have this product which I cannot use and have to cancel the order. Thank you for your help!
God bless everyone!
This is FANTASTIC.....id also LOVE to start using Galactomyces to help with skin softening and acne .... could you recommend a toner or serum affordable with HIGH amount of this ingredient that you have used before perhaps ? Thank you!..... you are the main skin care influencer on RUclips that I follow closely I just love your recommendations and your education of these products for our skin❤🎉🎉❤🎉🎉🎉
I have been using KaramMD Trifecta since December. It is quite expensive and I would lonve your opinion on its ingredients. Is it worth it? My results are barely noticable at the 3 month mark.
Hi Penny, I know this is not budget friendly, but can you tell me where to place the Reviv Ultimate Serum in your routine. Many thanks.
I like it after I cleanse and after any essence or toner. So those watery things first then the Reviv. I like it AM and PM but there are times I skip one or the other (usually when I’m testing something else) 🩷

Penny, sorry to bother you, but i have a question; have you tried or what is your opinion on the Sukoyaka Suhada Urea moisturizer face cream.
I use the lotion and the eye cream (I use it as a serum under my eye cream). I would like to know your opinion. Thanks a lot for your hard work, you truly have a beautiful soul and manners.
I don’t love the moisturizer. It was a weird consistency for me 😬
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE Thank you much for your response.
Would love your thoughts on the Geek and Gorgeous brand. I find them very affordable and very effective.
Many blessings!💖💖💖
Appreciate this soooo much!
Yay I’m so glad!
If I were to only get one of the two- Iunik or Isintree, which would you recommend? I’m looking to add in things that help with wrinkles, texture & sagging. I really appreciate this video as I am approaching retirement & need to scale down my costs. But I love skin care & just want to help my skin age as well as possible.
What do you think of the Naturium Super Vitamin C serum? I emailed the company to find out the percentage of vitamin C. They wouldn't tell me. They said the serum was effective because of it's overall formulation. Your thoughts? Thanks.
I have such a hard time finding a moisturizer that loves my oily skin. The Calecim products seem to love it a lot! It's so expensive 😂 But honestly, when it works ❤ Oh, and when you're oily, you need such a teeny tiny amount! A lil bit really does go a long way! 😅
Have you tried the new Dr Pen Q2 with LED and micro current? I wonder if it’s worth the money. I already have the M8. I don’t have a micro current device but I do have an RLT panel.
This was so helpful! Can you do one geared towards acne prone skin? The Prequel moisturizer has shea butter which is no bueno for most of us acne prone folks. And I feel like I would need a cleanser with an active in it. Any affordable serums that would be dupes isclininc active serum or jan marini bioclear serum would be greatly appreciated!
Love this thank you. I want to start on an oil what do u recommend? Also what Asian serum with bifida and galcto do you recommend? I have been using Manyo and in the past numbuzen 3. I am sure didn’t spell correctly. Thanks again for all your amazing work
How about a deep dive into eyecreams??? Luxe vs budget & the dupes❤
I have so many good ones but i slways feel like i want more hydration. I also want my eye makeup to stay put LOL
I do tap a drop of Sukoyaka Suhada into my under eye area before eyecream
