This has been extremely helpful. I read and researched like crazy before starting The Ordinary products, feeling invincible towards skincare jargons afterward, I went to NIOD's homepage and got confused and completely lost. This video has done such an amazing job explaining all of the items!!
This world really isn't made for the best of humanity. Brandon was such a pioneer and sincere soul. Too bad he was too good for this world. One can only hope just how many more revolutionary skincare products he would've introduced to us and made it accessible.
For me, HV shines in one particular circumstance that makes buying it so worth it. Air travel. It is seriously amazing at creating a seal that prevents moisturizer loss from the pressurized environment. It does have a dry feel to it, which I don’t enjoy usually. But that dry feeling doesn’t matter as much after you’ve done an intensive pre-flight hydration routine. Just as long as you stick to mineral sunscreen over top as I doubt chemical sunscreens will be very effective through HV. FYI, I’m a Flight Attendant and using this particular combination has alleviated nearly all of my chronic dehydration and reactivity.
Hands down this is THE most informative video on Niod, ever. Period. Love so many of their products and thank you for decoding for us! It's funny when I tried the HV, I couldn't help but think "this is not really the effect that Renee goes for in her moisturizers...." LOL!
Watchers beware: I finished watching and looked in my Deciem shopping cart...$505 subtotal! Though, Renee, this is an amazing resource. I agree with the other commenters that Deciem's website is a bit daunting and intimidating. This video break all that information down into digestible terms and is a great resource for those wanting to get smart about their skincare. Thank you so much for your dedication and videos!
I couldn’t have hit play fast enough when I got my Gothamista alert! Loving CAIL 1% and I’ve used the MMHC in the past, but have tried other HA’s and Beta Glucan serums out. Still think it’s a great HA though. Would love to try out more NIOD products for my dehydration/surface dryness and aging skin issues.💓
i hope you'll do a brand review of Stratia in the future! due to me living in Europe and their limited availability, i've never tried any of their products, but kind of want them all (except for their vitamin c, although i'm curious about it). also, indie brands need all the help they can get now a days. your reviews are always so helpful, and there really aren't any full brand reviews of Stratia on youtube yet.
You are so knowledgeable! I love your explanations! After watching this video, I realized I would love to see a video of skincare recommendations for each age group (Teens, 20's, 30's, etc). It's hard for me to know when I should start intensely using anti-aging, retinal, acids, etc.
Love this! Thank you, Renee! You're always a few steps ahead from outher youtubers. Niod has been around for awhile, and i love and use many of their products, but its not really talked about. Thats such a pity, thank you for fixing this issue and for providing so generous overview. :)
Thank you so much for this brand review! I've been interested in trying NIOD but have found the site to be harder to navigate/fully grasp. This is the video I needed to put an order together. Thanks again! :)
Niod is fantastic, my favourite brand out of many I have tried. My only issue with them is they need to be clearer about what products can be used together and how to create routines. The website says you can use CAIS with vit c, but over the phone they say otherwise. Great products besides that.
This is so helpful as I’ve been on Deciem’s website many times and would check out NIOD’s line but felt a bit unsure of what I needed or what each product would target. I’ll be watching this a few times and youve made me really want to incorporate this line into my skincare!!!
I started using the mist and the eye serum about a month ago and they have made a real difference within a short time. Thank you for such a great overview, it will help me decide on what else from the range mignt work for me.
Yes, I use that sometimes during and definitely after I get acne pimples. I usually use adapalene and few backup treatments if a pimple would not respond to it. This sometimes work during I get them, but it really shines after. It repairs the acne really fast and leave no scarring.
Zeron' from your personal experience, would you say the extra cost of CAIS is worth it if one already has adapalene? Do you see better results with CAIS versus adapalene?
What an informative breakdown! I've been on the fence about quite a few of their products and you helped narrow down what i need. Just entered the contest too!!!
Thank you for a vivid review of the Niod products. I really wanted to try this brand. Currently just started using the Survival 0 and Mist. I’m actually using majority of the Osmosis and Truth Treatment skincare line. Can I incorporate the Niod core regimen into my routine, maybe use them in the am only or alternately?
Like you, NIOD and Hylamide were my first intros into Deciem. I’ve gone back to CAIS since my skin started getting angry with wearing masks all day in the hospital. After watching your video, I definitely need to pick up some more goodies to help my skin stay calm and clear. Amazing video as always!! ❤️😘
I have been debating making the jump from the Ordinary to NIOD for a couple days now (most of my products run out around the same time), and after this video I have fully committed! Despite being very into skincare, NIOD has always felt a bit too high-level for me, but this was a spectacular breakdown. Taking this as a sign from the universe to go for it:) thank you!
I use many of the products you reviewed, including CAIS. When I use the NIOD line I include Modulating Glucocides in my routine. Your review was very helpful and informative as to some of the NIOD products I've been wanting to try but haven't committed to purchasing because I wasn't sure how they worked or how it may benefit me. I already have so much of the NIOD line and there's only so many products you can put on your face in a day. Anyway, I noticed when you showed yourself applying the products you put a few drops on your hands and then pat the product into your face. I think I use too much product - generally I end up using 6 or 7 drops or whatever amount that is needed to cover every inch of my entire face and neck, if I happen to be using the product on my neck. What is the proper way to apply these products? How much should one use to get effective coverage? Thank you for reviewing these products and for your knowledge and dedication to skincare.
When you mentioned highly reactive skin... 🙋🏻♀️ my skin gets so irritated and breaks out if I use products with Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide. It’s super unfortunate since my skin is both dehydrated and acne prone and those two seem like such well-loved ingredients!
that sounds exactly like my skin, can i ask what you use for the dehydration? i have terminally dehydrated skin (probably partially from prescription retinol, but if i stop using it my acne is overwhelming) i can’t find anything to help the dehydration that doesn’t have HA and is effective, until NIOD but i really don’t have the money for it. so if you have any suggestions??
I have used a lot of products from the Ordinary which I quite liked. However I just was not comfortable ordering NIOD as I could not figure out what to buy. Your video really helped me and I will be able to make informed choices now.
I have just started to use Niod, a lot to take in and try to understand what to take first and what to use in the end. Like now i always start with the mist, and take a spritz in the end to. And sometimes during the day. I follow up with copper amino isolate activator and then the multi-molecuar hyaluronic complex, i have not bought the cleanser or the eyecream yet, but that will be the next on my list. Because i can not believe how different my skin looks now just after a month..this is for sure something special, i am hooked. !! I have also the Photography fluid opacity 8%, that gives a hint of bronzed skin, i am not sure what i tnink of that one yet...i have fair skin so i have to be careful with it. The last thing i bought is modulating glucosides, have not started to use it yet because i dont know if i should use it every day, and between or after what of the other products? Can you give me a answer to that Gothamista?? It is a lot to understand and a whole ney different way to think about healthcare, this is pure sciense..! I am 48 years old, have always looked after my skin, but it has never looked better. I dont like to use it under make up, i dont know why but that is not function with me, it look patchy, and nearly dirty if i use foundation. Any toughts around that?
hello can I ask ... So when you use the CAIS in the pm you use it every second night and use the curology on the other nights ya?? Or can you use them together if yes which goes first?.. Thanks in advance.
I've been trying to remain simple and efficient with my skincare lately as I was always looking for the next best thing (which is exhausting to be fair) so this range, while being interesting, is too complicated (and pricey) for me.
Hi. So grateful that you try so many different products to give us honest reviews. Since you have tried so many over past years, can you please do a video with your staples, that you always repurchase and keep with you consistently, like tried, ,testing and keeping forever! Your the most favorite cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, sunscreen till now!
Thank you for this extensive review! I have had the CAIS2:1 for about two months now, but not sure how to incorporate it into my routine. I find it very hard at the moment, as you can’t combine it with actives such as Retinaldehyd (i use Medik8) in the PM. In the AM i use Vit C. And i don’t want to not use Retinal or Vit C and don’t want to “skip nights”. Any recommendation?
I have the exact same problem, I absolutely adore CAIS 2 but I use retinol, so I can't use it a night, so I've have to stop using vitamin C (it burns after CAIS) but vitamin C is a wonderful active. How do you manage this, Renée ?
Yes I understand, I felt the same but decided to use it on alternative nights retinol or cais2. After some research i found out that using retinol every other night has the same long term effects as using it every night. So I feel good with sticking strongly to a routine where I alternate.
I have never used a NIOD product, I'm 32 and i just recently go into skincare so i'm still very new to it so i'm doing a lot of research. I would love to try some of these products but with everything going on they're a little to pricy for me at the moment. Thank you for your review and love your videos.
Renee - thank you so much for this video! I have ordered a few items that you described. Sadly the copper peptide is currently out of stock (version 2), but I look forward to trying everything else!
Hey, Renee, I’ve been diving back into Niod after initially trying the multi-molecular Hyaluronic acid, fractionated eye serum, the oil based cleanser, Sanskrit saponins (which I use regularly & love) & the copper amino isolate 1%, ; now I’m using the Survival 0 (wow, I’m impressed), the re:pigment for my melasma & the myrh clay for firming. I honestly want to try the whole brand so I pick up 3 at a time to slowly introduce into my regimen. I am watching this video again to refresh my memory as to what your thoughts were. Thanks for all of the vital information, as always you are pleasure to watch! By the way , did you use the neck catalyst on the lower half of the face as Deciem recommends, I’m super curious about that one. You didn’t mention the oil cleanser, not a fan? It doesn’t emulsify that’s for sure, however my skin appreciated it, especially over time, but not my fave within the brand to be totally frank. I’m wondering if you’ve tried the Photography fluid? Apologies for how long this comment is.
Wow I had only heard about the NIID Photofluids before this. I have so many things I want to try now. Thanks so much for all of your insight. I wish the promotion you listed in the info box wasn’t just on Instagram since I recently deleted my account - but would love to hear what the outcomes are of the 10 different consultations. I might find a good routine to try out based on what people’s skin types are!
Like you saw my search history!!! I was really looking for a reliable review about NIOD!!! thank you so much, I always trust your reviews and recommendations!
This is great!! I’ve been looking at the NIOD site trying to figure out what to get next. Thanks to you I have been using and loving the CAIL 1%. Thanks 🙏
Absolutely brilliant video, took all my confusion away 🤩 really appreciate how honest and thorough you are 💕 Definitely trying Survival 0, FECC and eventually CAIS!!
I always wanted to know more about every single product of NIOD and this is super helpful Renae! Thanks so much! Hope you are staying safe, physically and mentally healthy.
Thank you so much for your honest review @gothamista! And thank you and @deciem for hosting such a wonderful giveaway. I am a huge fan of the NIOD fractionated eye contour concentrate, and am very excited to try more products after seeing your video!! Thank you for taking the time to make this for us!!!!
Such a great and informative video. It's is hard to explain how much I Love Deciem - The ordinary and NIOD are godsend to everyone, and of-course to skin care lovers. the CAIL 1% is simply amazing and also the LIP-BIO, very curious to try Superoxide Dismutase Saccharide Mist and Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Complex!
Hello Renee, I’ve always look out for your skincare reviews and tips as they are so educating. Thanks for sharing! A question that I hope you could shed more light. How do use the copper insolate serum and lipid at the same time and together with retinol? So you alternate them and what’s the frequency of usage? Thanks
The Lip Bio Lipid Concentrate product didn't help me at all and caused dark hyperpigmentation on my lips after 6 weeks of use. So disappointed about this. Now I am trying to figure out how to fade the HP on my lips!
My dear, Renee, somehow, you always know which video we're craving from you! I LOVED this in-depth review. NIOD is amazing, but I still felt a little intimidated with their lux formulas. This was uber helpful. Big hugs!
I'm a bit late to the game with this brand but am trying CAIL now and seeing great results. This is exactly the video I was looking for...so helpful! Thanks 😘
I loveeeee your reviews. I really wanted to try NIOD but I am a student in Malaysia and these are definitely not in my budget range. I can't wait to start working to invest in my skincare regime!!! Also did I mention that I love youuuu!!!
After watching only 2 videos , I subscribed to your channel because you clearly explain and review the brands, also include medical facts in all the videos. Skincare is not always about using good products to your face, it also depends on your health. How we maintain our health inside our body is what reflects outside.This is the best skincare channel i have ever watched. Keep up the good work and looking forward to ur future videos.
Love this video! I've never tried any Niod products before and I might try their masks. Acids and other mud masks have not solved my congested pores. I have oily and dehydrated skin, btw.
Like all your videos, Renee, this was so helpful. I have loved many of these products for years and rather than relying on pretty packaging and perfumy ingredients, these products are based on science and performance. With the added fact that it's a Canadian company and I don't have to pay crazy exchange rates and duties, makes them that much easier to use 💕
Love the Niod Survival 0! I think it has great ingredients for blue light protection and environmental pollution as well! Also you have rly great skin and are super pretty xx
Your videos are so helpful, thank you for doing what you do!! I watched your video on best budget skincare finds from 2 years ago. Do you have any updated suggestions?!
Niod!!! Love them! I like the new packaging for the FM. I have dry skin and really loved what this did for my pores. It is strong and you feel it. FECC is my holy grail. Combining it with the WishTrend eye butter is nice. I need to pull my survival 0 back out and use it. It has been in my fridge. I hadn’t thought to combine it with my sunscreen. Thanks for another informative video, Renee!
yes! FECC and the wishtrend eye butter is a glorious combo for me too! BTW, the FM and couple of other formulas have 2 packaging sizes - larger one in tubes and smaller in the jar!
Thanks! You saved me a lot of money with some of the items that I was thinking of getting. I'll stick with my Survival 0 and others and maybe give CAIL a try. Cheers!
Thank you for this! I have tried the CAIS and HA and love them. I have been trying a lot of things to find what can help after i was exposed to chloropicrin, which is a tear gas that Terminix used on the house next door, only they didn’t follow the proper protocol and I looked like phantom of the opera and felt even worse than I looked for 11 months, until I could move. It was unbelievable and debilitating. I ended up with very damaged skin around my eyes, dramatic hollows under my eyes and paper-thin skin all around my eyes. There’s a deep sudden drop off where the face meets the bones surrounding my eyes. You can see all the blood vessels underneath tiny layer of skin. Quite unacceptable appearance for a sales rep, as I try to get a new job after losing mine in January. So I have been trying all kinds of things in an attempt to help build the collagen and skin layers back up. Vicious circle... looking better will help with getting a job but need the job to look better. It’s crazy. So if you have any suggestions, I’m all ears. You gave me some ideas, but I welcome your input.
Thank you Reneé . I love NIOD. And Deciem as a brand. It’s a great lasting legacy to Brandon. I find I got through the CAIL way faster than the CAIS though. And because of its cost, I’m staying with the CAIS. Hope you’re safe and well. Xox
e. ates Not at all! I love the instant soothing effect I get each time I use it. Seriously, when I feel like my barrier is a bit compromised or I get any irritation from a product (like Vitamin C) I always reach for this!
Thank you for doing this video Renee! I've been dying to use their product for years now, but it's too expensive for me, tho I'm glad to learn about their products nonetheless :) Love you!! xx
I feel like the MV works better during the day to seal in your skin care and the velvety texture helps to make the skin look refined and blurred under minimal makeup and spf, that's the way I use it, don't know if decien would approve of my technic lol.

This is so helpful! I love that NIOD doesn't "talk down" to us, and I love that you help break it down. Thanks Renée ✨
They certainly don't haha! Happy you found this helpful!
This has to be one of the absolute best skincare brand reviews I've ever seen on RUclips!
Aww thank you so much!!
Can you please recommend 2 to 3 productz for 65 years old witb dry cheeks snd skme wrinkles from Niad.Thanks
This has been extremely helpful. I read and researched like crazy before starting The Ordinary products, feeling invincible towards skincare jargons afterward, I went to NIOD's homepage and got confused and completely lost. This video has done such an amazing job explaining all of the items!!
Yay! So happy it help!
NIOD is my favourite brand! I love their skincare! Re:Pigment is the best serum for pigmentation I’ve ever used
This world really isn't made for the best of humanity. Brandon was such a pioneer and sincere soul. Too bad he was too good for this world. One can only hope just how many more revolutionary skincare products he would've introduced to us and made it accessible.
Amen. A visionary

Oh lord now i want to spend hundreds on Niod products 😭
You can. They have a 365 return policy if you aren’t happy. I wouldn’t buy from any resellers.
Same.....🤣
@Refuse Collection just checked and of course in the UK the copper is out of stock 😭
I just spent hundreds on The Ordinary hope it helps with rosacea and discoloration.
Ahh glad you mentioned not using CAIS with l-ascorbic acid, that was going to be my first question. Thanks for this overview! ❤
Been using NIOD CAIS for years. Brandon revolutionized skincare. RIP.
Hands down this is THE most informative video on Niod, ever. Period. Love so many of their products and thank you for decoding for us! It's funny when I tried the HV, I couldn't help but think "this is not really the effect that Renee goes for in her moisturizers...." LOL!
Omg I LOVE this hahahaha!!! It's the opposite of a glazed donut but I don't doubt it works well!
@@gothamista LOLOL Yes the HV really does its job very well! It's just the non-dewy effect is not for me as well... Hehe. Take care!
Watchers beware: I finished watching and looked in my Deciem shopping cart...$505 subtotal! Though, Renee, this is an amazing resource.

Still think it’s a great HA though. Would love to try out more NIOD products for my dehydration/surface dryness and aging skin issues.💓
Thank you love! You are always a joy. Yes, it's definitely the elegant matriarch of HA serums!
Hahahaha same here. Literally in the middle of some crucial work - got this notification. Closed down my work and hit play.
Just today I was wondering when you are going to post again. Your videos are always so relaxing. Renee, thank you for that! 🧘🏼♀️
Aw thank you Sara! That makes me so happy to hear!
I think I've watched this 100 times by now. This was (is) a masterpiece.
i hope you'll do a brand review of Stratia in the future! due to me living in Europe and their limited availability, i've never tried any of their products, but kind of want them all (except for their vitamin c, although i'm curious about it). also, indie brands need all the help they can get now a days. your reviews are always so helpful, and there really aren't any full brand reviews of Stratia on youtube yet.

the most underrated brand and one of my all time favourites!
Thank you so much for this brand review! I've been interested in trying NIOD but have found the site to be harder to navigate/fully grasp. This is the video I needed to put an order together. Thanks again! :)
You are so welcome! Hope you get some fabulous skin treats!

the lipid products looks very interesting. The color also looks very nice. Also, I'd like to try the asorbic acid. Thanks Rene!
The Fractionated Eye Contour Concentrate is wonderful. I got it first in the birthday set. It sinks right and and doesn’t migrate. I love it!
love you sis, you do all these reviews of brands before we splurge on them. your review is better than most research lol
Great video as always! I wanted to ask: would young, 'acne damaged' skin benefit from the healing power of copper peptides?
I feel like it's particularly good for that! The CAIS might be better if you're acne prone!
Yes, I use that sometimes during and definitely after I get acne pimples. I usually use adapalene and few backup treatments if a pimple would not respond to it. This sometimes work during I get them, but it really shines after. It repairs the acne really fast and leave no scarring.

Thank You, Thank You, I was waiting for this review 3 years!
Hahah! Thank you for your patience love!!
Your skin is glowing! This must be my favorite brand review ever. Thank you for breaking everything down for us!
Thank you for a vivid review of the Niod products. I really wanted to try this brand. Currently just started using the Survival 0 and Mist. I’m actually using majority of the Osmosis and Truth Treatment skincare line. Can I incorporate the Niod core regimen into my routine, maybe use them in the am only or alternately?
I literally want it all. Niod has been on my radar for the past year.
please do an updated ordinary review there's so many new things now
No Name also inkey list lol
Yes please!
Can you please do a video on neck skincare, especially for lines/aging?
Like you, NIOD and Hylamide were my first intros into Deciem. I’ve gone back to CAIS since my skin started getting angry with wearing masks all day in the hospital. After watching your video, I definitely need to pick up some more goodies to help my skin stay calm and clear. Amazing video as always!! ❤️😘
Hi Renée! NIOD my favorite line of Deciem!! Thanks for mentioning Brandon in your review 👍🏽

Despite being very into skincare, NIOD has always felt a bit too high-level for me, but this was a spectacular breakdown. Taking this as a sign from the universe to go for it:) thank you!

When you mentioned highly reactive skin... 🙋🏻♀️ my skin gets so irritated and breaks out if I use products with Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide. It’s super unfortunate since my skin is both dehydrated and acne prone and those two seem like such well-loved ingredients!
Yes and for most people, they are great ingredients for soothing inflammation! So it's amazing to find formulas that take this into account!
that sounds exactly like my skin, can i ask what you use for the dehydration? i have terminally dehydrated skin (probably partially from prescription retinol, but if i stop using it my acne is overwhelming) i can’t find anything to help the dehydration that doesn’t have HA and is effective, until NIOD but i really don’t have the money for it. so if you have any suggestions??
kfidjwh - I’ve found a Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide that don’t break me out! I use Medik8 Hydr8 (this is pricey) and Stratia Liquid Gold :)
Thank you so much for the acne/oily skin recommendations 😍
I have used a lot of products from the Ordinary which I quite liked. However I just was not comfortable ordering NIOD as I could not figure out what to buy. Your video really helped me and I will be able to make informed choices now.

Love when you dive deep into a specific brand! This was super informative and helpful. Sending lots of ❤️!
Your descirption of the cooper amino acid is on point. It's 100% match with how I feeled. I'd love you to share more skin routine!

Hi. So grateful that you try so many different products to give us honest reviews. Since you have tried so many over past years, can you please do a video with your staples, that you always repurchase and keep with you consistently, like tried, ,testing and keeping forever! Your the most favorite cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, sunscreen till now!
Loved the video! You are always so thorough about your reviews. I always learn so much ♥️
This was great. I feel like I need to watch this 4x to understand everything, haha.
Haha! Believe me, I get it. Only took me a few years....
Thank you for this extensive review! I have had the CAIS2:1 for about two months now, but not sure how to incorporate it into my routine. I find it very hard at the moment, as you can’t combine it with actives such as Retinaldehyd (i use Medik8) in the PM.
In the AM i use Vit C. And i don’t want to not use Retinal or Vit C and don’t want to “skip nights”.
Any recommendation?
Great question! I’d like to know the answer to this too. I use Vit C in morning and Medik8 at night as well.
I have the exact same problem, I absolutely adore CAIS 2 but I use retinol, so I can't use it a night, so I've have to stop using vitamin C (it burns after CAIS) but vitamin C is a wonderful active. How do you manage this, Renée ?
Same question for me too. I wouldn't want to give up vit c or retinol
Yes I understand, I felt the same but decided to use it on alternative nights retinol or cais2. After some research i found out that using retinol every other night has the same long term effects as using it every night. So I feel good with sticking strongly to a routine where I alternate.
I have never used a NIOD product, I'm 32 and i just recently go into skincare so i'm still very new to it so i'm doing a lot of research. I would love to try some of these products but with everything going on they're a little to pricy for me at the moment. Thank you for your review and love your videos.
Great video, I have oily acne prone skin and LOVE HV in the morning as a moisturizer 😘
Renee - thank you so much for this video! I have ordered a few items that you described. Sadly the copper peptide is currently out of stock (version 2), but I look forward to trying everything else!
People need to buy more NIOD. I hardly hear anyone talking about it.
Hey, Renee, I’ve been diving back into Niod after initially trying the multi-molecular Hyaluronic acid, fractionated eye serum, the oil based cleanser, Sanskrit saponins (which I use regularly & love) & the copper amino isolate 1%, ; now I’m using the Survival 0 (wow, I’m impressed), the re:pigment for my melasma & the myrh clay for firming. I honestly want to try the whole brand so I pick up 3 at a time to slowly introduce into my regimen. I am watching this video again to refresh my memory as to what your thoughts were. Thanks for all of the vital information, as always you are pleasure to watch! By the way , did you use the neck catalyst on the lower half of the face as Deciem recommends, I’m super curious about that one. You didn’t mention the oil cleanser, not a fan? It doesn’t emulsify that’s for sure, however my skin appreciated it, especially over time, but not my fave within the brand to be totally frank. I’m wondering if you’ve tried the Photography fluid? Apologies for how long this comment is.
FINALLY! I’ve missed your brand reviews
Aw thank you love!!
Wow I had only heard about the NIID Photofluids before this. I have so many things I want to try now. Thanks so much for all of your insight. I wish the promotion you listed in the info box wasn’t just on Instagram since I recently deleted my account - but would love to hear what the outcomes are of the 10 different consultations. I might find a good routine to try out based on what people’s skin types are!
Rene do you have an anti aging skin care routine that you can post? Also does copper peptides lead to heavy metal toxicity?
Such a great compreensive video! Always wanted to try the fractionated eye contour! Commented on your ig post as well..I might need the neck cream
Like you saw my search history!!! I was really looking for a reliable review about NIOD!!! thank you so much, I always trust your reviews and recommendations!
Thank you so much! Really hope this helps you find formulas you love!
This is great!! I’ve been looking at the NIOD site trying to figure out what to get next. Thanks to you I have been using and loving the CAIL 1%. Thanks 🙏
I absolutely love that formula and get so happy to hear others loving it too!!
Absolutely brilliant video, took all my confusion away 🤩 really appreciate how honest and thorough you are 💕
Definitely trying Survival 0, FECC and eventually CAIS!!
I always wanted to know more about every single product of NIOD and this is super helpful Renae! Thanks so much! Hope you are staying safe, physically and mentally healthy.
Thank you! Happy you found this helpful and you stay safe, healthy and sane too love!
Not that it's important but I miss your Cartier stack. Loved the review it answered a lot of the questions I had about Niod.
Can you do a video for teen skincare? Like what we can use, when can we use it, etc.?
Thank you so much for your honest review @gothamista! And thank you and @deciem for hosting such a wonderful giveaway. I am a huge fan of the NIOD fractionated eye contour concentrate, and am very excited to try more products after seeing your video!! Thank you for taking the time to make this for us!!!!
Such a great and informative video. It's is hard to explain how much I Love Deciem - The ordinary and NIOD are godsend to everyone, and of-course to skin care lovers. the CAIL 1% is simply amazing and also the LIP-BIO, very curious to try Superoxide Dismutase Saccharide Mist and Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Complex!
I totally agree!
Hello Renee, I’ve always look out for your skincare reviews and tips as they are so educating. Thanks for sharing! A question that I hope you could shed more light. How do use the copper insolate serum and lipid at the same time and together with retinol? So you alternate them and what’s the frequency of usage? Thanks
Renée you are the blueprint ❤️ thank you for this extremely informative and thorough video.
Thank YOU!!!
Your elegance is so infectious 😊 I've always been interested in this brand so thank you so much for this video!
The Lip Bio Lipid Concentrate product didn't help me at all and caused dark hyperpigmentation on my lips after 6 weeks of use. So disappointed about this. Now I am trying to figure out how to fade the HP on my lips!
Dr Vanita Rattan Lip Pigmentation kit! She’s also on RUclips
My dear, Renee, somehow, you always know which video we're craving from you! I LOVED this in-depth review. NIOD is amazing, but I still felt a little intimidated with their lux formulas. This was uber helpful. Big hugs!
Aw big hugs to you Kimberly! Glad you found this helpful!
It seems like a very complex products to use, can you explain what is the step to use them? Thanks
I'm a bit late to the game with this brand but am trying CAIL now and seeing great results. This is exactly the video I was looking for...so helpful! Thanks 😘
It's never too late! happy you found this helpful!
Best review of NIOD. I ordered the CAIL 1% this morning, and I can’t wait to add in other products. I could listen to you talk all day x
Aww thank you! I can't wait for you to try it Alice!
Where did you order it? In there web site is out of stock 😕
I loveeeee your reviews. I really wanted to try NIOD but I am a student in Malaysia and these are definitely not in my budget range. I can't wait to start working to invest in my skincare regime!!! Also did I mention that I love youuuu!!!
After watching only 2 videos , I subscribed to your channel because you clearly explain and review the brands, also include medical facts in all the videos. Skincare is not always about using good products to your face, it also depends on your health. How we maintain our health inside our body is what reflects outside.This is the best skincare channel i have ever watched. Keep up the good work and looking forward to ur future videos.
You described the Sanskrit saponins perfectly. It is powerful! The texture is very unique and difficult to wash off with hard well water.
Love this video! I've never tried any Niod products before and I might try their masks. Acids and other mud masks have not solved my congested pores. I have oily and dehydrated skin, btw.
The flavanoid mud is powerful!!
Like all your videos, Renee, this was so helpful. I have loved many of these products for years and rather than relying on pretty packaging and perfumy ingredients, these products are based on science and performance. With the added fact that it's a Canadian company and I don't have to pay crazy exchange rates and duties, makes them that much easier to use 💕
Love the Niod Survival 0! I think it has great ingredients for blue light protection and environmental pollution as well! Also you have rly great skin and are super pretty xx
Your videos are so helpful, thank you for doing what you do!! I watched your video on best budget skincare finds from 2 years ago. Do you have any updated suggestions?!
Haven’t tried NIOD products yet,but am intrigued by both CAIL and CAIS reviews and their benefits. Would love to try either!
Everytime Renee uploads a new video, I can’t wait to hear her opinion ❤️❤️ one of the few content creators I look forward to watching
Wow, thank you!
So want to try the copper amino isolate lipid 1%. I’d love to win but if not I’ll have to purchase.
Niod!!! Love them! I like the new packaging for the FM. I have dry skin and really loved what this did for my pores. It is strong and you feel it. FECC is my holy grail. Combining it with the WishTrend eye butter is nice. I need to pull my survival 0 back out and use it. It has been in my fridge. I hadn’t thought to combine it with my sunscreen. Thanks for another informative video, Renee!
yes! FECC and the wishtrend eye butter is a glorious combo for me too!
BTW, the FM and couple of other formulas have 2 packaging sizes - larger one in tubes and smaller in the jar!
Love this thorough, honest review! Thanks for helping me navigate the brand and figure out how products can fit into my routine 💖
Thanks! You saved me a lot of money with some of the items that I was thinking of getting. I'll stick with my Survival 0 and others and maybe give CAIL a try. Cheers!
Thank you for this! I have tried the CAIS and HA and love them. I have been trying a lot of things to find what can help after i was exposed to chloropicrin, which is a tear gas that Terminix used on the house next door, only they didn’t follow the proper protocol and I looked like phantom of the opera and felt even worse than I looked for 11 months, until I could move. It was unbelievable and debilitating. I ended up with very damaged skin around my eyes, dramatic hollows under my eyes and paper-thin skin all around my eyes. There’s a deep sudden drop off where the face meets the bones surrounding my eyes. You can see all the blood vessels underneath tiny layer of skin. Quite unacceptable appearance for a sales rep, as I try to get a new job after losing mine in January. So I have been trying all kinds of things in an attempt to help build the collagen and skin layers back up. Vicious circle... looking better will help with getting a job but need the job to look better. It’s crazy. So if you have any suggestions, I’m all ears. You gave me some ideas, but I welcome your input.
I love the way you broke down the product formulations, consistencies and efficacies! Super informative video!🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you Renee!! You did an amazing job explaining NIOD products.
NOT LISTED IN DESCRIPTION:
Repigment
Neck Elastic Catalyst
Thank you Reneé . I love NIOD. And Deciem as a brand. It’s a great lasting legacy to Brandon. I find I got through the CAIL way faster than the CAIS though. And because of its cost, I’m staying with the CAIS. Hope you’re safe and well. Xox
Hi love! Absolutely, Brandon is particularly present in NIOD.
❤️❤️❤️YOU REALLY DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!❤️❤️❤️ So thorough. A+++
What a wonderful video, so informative...I’m definitely wanting to check out the NIOD line xo Thank you
The CAIS 2 sounds like it would really help my skin! Thank you for this review!!
Modulating Glucosides is my all time favorite! Hope you’re doing well 💕
What do you like about it if you don't mind? People don't talk about the Modulating Glucosides much ..
e. ates Not at all! I love the instant soothing effect I get each time I use it. Seriously, when I feel like my barrier is a bit compromised or I get any irritation from a product (like Vitamin C) I always reach for this!
@gothamista At lasttt!! so so happy when I saw this notification .It was about time, as always this was very informative!!
Thank you for doing this video Renee!
I've been dying to use their product for years now, but it's too expensive for me, tho I'm glad to learn about their products nonetheless :)
Love you!! xx
I feel like the MV works better during the day to seal in your skin care and the velvety texture helps to make the skin look refined and blurred under minimal makeup and spf, that's the way I use it, don't know if decien would approve of my technic lol.
Haha! Yes - I can totally see this as a great primer! With skincare, you do you!
