Totally agree. Finding Penny, as I was looking for micro needling information was the best thing that ever happened to me. I don’t even need it ever anymore, but all the things that she has taught me about ingredients and the chemistry of skin has been invaluable.
Penny, thanks for all the products you use! I use some of those myself! I wanted to ask you where did you get that beautiful moon necklace of yours it’s so sexy and I love that shape of the moon. I have some costume jury that looks similar to that, but I would sure love to know where you got yours from.
Yes Dr. Raj is awesome! He gives DIYs. He does not push using his products....although his products are amazing....he gives free info...he's just an awesome doc! Penny and dr. RAJ thats a best of the best combo❤
Hi Penny, I’ve gotten a lot of the products that you recommended. I’m also considering a deep plane facelift, but not sure if it will address the hollowness under my eyes. Do you have to get fillers in addition to the facelift? I don’t want to have to do that as I like fat transfer better, and have had them but they don’t last. I might try this under eye product. Haven’t tried the chapstick under my eyes yet. I find that adding my peach/pink blush up under my eye area helps. I had a blepharoplasty years ago, and I have dark pigmentation on my eyelids and wrinkling in the inner corners, which I hate because I like wearing eyeliner.
Penny! Long time viewer! Can you make a video about an in office treatment/procedure protocol? What procedures you recommend and how often for results in reducing fine lines, pigmentation, hollowness or sagging? Thank you 🙏
As you know, I really have never worn sunscreen. I just never found one I liked. I love and actually use Dr. Rajani’s. Shocking, I know, but it is that good.
And Dr.Rajani also put LEDs right above the lip!!! Can't find many of those that are comfortable to wear. 😊 These are some fantastic finds! Thanks again, Penny. ❤
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE I LOVE & follow Dr. Rajani as well! He has a Great Energy about him! He's very humble, down to earth, & a kind person. I Really want to get his LED Mask, but can't afford it right now. Any possibility you can get him to give a discount for it if they use your referral code link? Now that you have found this other peptide serum, & sunscreens, are you no longer using the DRMTLGY Peptide serum, & sunscreen?
@CherylBerryl hi! So I do have a code with Dr Rajani 🙃 It’s PENN10 and it gets $42 (10%) off 🙂 I still use and love the needleless serum and the universal tinted but not at the same time of course. I would say the CosRX is a nice, affordable alternative to the needleless though!
As a licensed skin care technician you have opened my eyes to so many fantastic products that we would never get to see on our New Zealand shelves. Through your recommendations and technical breakdowns I have been able to update my own skin care regime (thanks to Amazon) and see a huge improvement in my skin. So just wanted to say thank you so much and what happens to your past favourites such as Vitamin K serum, Bradceuticals, Microneedling with a EGF etc? Any chance for a review on a product called Eighth Day which looks very interesting with their ingredient deck. Lots of love from Kiwiland!
Hello!! Thank you for making my day 😍 As far as vitamin K serum- it’s either discontinued or being reformulated 😭 Bradceuticals dropped off my radar somehow 🤔 Microneedling with EGF- still a thing! Namely cosmetic needling with EGF. Thanks again, honored to have another esthetician here ❤️
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE Just heard back from Jacqui at Naturium and their Vitamin K Serum has been discontinued 😥Revision Skin Care has one but seems rather expensive!
This is anecdotal, but I’ve had the same Rx for my eyes for 40 years. But the last time I went to get my checkup the Dr told me the Rx in one of my eyes improved. It wasn’t by a lot but still kind of surprising. I couldn’t imagine why. Then I watched a RUclips video about red light improving eyesight. I have been using my omnilux led mask daily for a year now and I’m wondering if that was it? No real way to know for sure, but maybe 🤔

Ohhhh, so many many fun things! I have put several things into several different carts. I may pull the trigger on the dermalect eye cream which I’ve been looking out for quite some time. Definitely going to check out the Cur spray, I’m going to order the collagen because I’m almost out of the one I was using and I’m considering this symbiotica.
The Dermelect lasts forever too, one tube takes me like almost half the year to get through (although I go through bouts of testing other things to be fair) 😁
Hi Penny, another good video. I've usedthe curel, facial wash, toner and moisturiser for over a year now, its soooo good, doesn't dry out your skin or burn. love it
I have a video coming very soon on the procedures I’ve done in the last year/year and a half. Mostly RF based but also laser as well as dissolving old filler (that was a guessing game). Thank you for your kind words! ❤️❤️
I have a couple of questions about the peptides. I am looking forward to your peptide video- I hope it comes out soon. In the meantime, has the cosrx peptide replaced your oneskin? Do you still use oneskin eye and face creams? I use them both day and night- and I beleive the eye cream is helping my undereye a lot! I am so excited every time you post a video!

For someone on a skincare budget right now that’s over 40 what are the most important skin care products to use morning and night?…. Retinol, vitamin C, SPF. What am I forgetting? ❤❤
Honestly those are perfect. For a reasonable budget vitamin C look at Prequel. She knocked it out of the park!! And I’m pretty sure it’s on sale this weekend!
Love your videos...and since you're so knowledgeable, thought I'd ask, when do you use a moisturizing sheet mask?, after your apply all your serums, or on a dry face?
I’ve been a weight lifter for years but in my middle age I’m taking it even more seriously (along with protein, fiber, water….adequate calories….the whole shebang 😁)
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE Penny Id be interested in hearing about what you're doing specifically... I mean, within reason 😉 We're the same age, and I don't have anyone around me who's lifting, so it would be cool to know what you've tried and like, or don't, etc.
Oh, I've seen Dr. Sam Ellis talk about that Cosrx product. Speaking of peptide serums Maelove and Peach and Lily their own as well. Isdin has a couple sunscreens with DNA repair enzymes. Question, have you heard of the Pneuma Nitric Oxide activating serum? It's another product claiming to help with wrinkle reduction (or at least the appearance of).
I’m obsessed with it too 😬🫣 I seriously have to hold myself back from buying new sunscreens to try lol The lightsaver is 1000% permanently in my skincare arsenal, I hope you love it too! ❤️
I put Dr. Rajani’s red light mask on the front of my hairline. The Red Lights are the same nm as the ones in the Laser HairMax, so fingers crossed that it works!
Allies of skin Mandelic pigmentation corrector. Its mandelic salicylic but notsuper affordable but damn does it work so good an helping current breakouts end and it just leaves you so plump an glowy
I like the lightsaver but it’s difficult to use bc it pills . I find that applying it 15 mins after skincare helps and then waiting 15 mins for it to dry. But that can be a hassle.
@@sunshinebabe6064 ahhhh shoot!! And now the description box is at capacity 🤔 Here is a link to my corresponding blog post, everything is linked there along with additional info (fun facts and usage for example 😍) www.pennsmithskincare.com/post/12-products-so-good-i-can-t-stop-picking-them-up
I think I’ll start a series on that…maybe we could all try together to shop our own stuff and use things up…..it’s challenging when there’s so many amazing launches all the time 😭😭😭
Funny that’s exactly what I was thinking recently, the products available now in all categories are amazing, but I have to use up stuff and gadgets for a few months before I can indulge again 😂
Loveing the corsrx peptides essence and I will perchase a backup I use it with my mad about skin 3% copper peptides serum and the natrium peptides serum with great results thank you penny for this utube video take care be well ❤❤ yes b12 is a must love it for the energy it gives me
Have you tried any of the other supplements from cymbiotika? Like the liquid pouches/packets? I just started taking their glutathione, vitamin C and greens. I’m curious what other people feel about their stuff. I do agree it’s a lot of money though
Thanks for these great recommendations! I will definitely be trying quite a few of these! I also love Dr. Rajani and have been considering upgrading to his red light mask. I got a cheap one on Amazon that's probably not doing much for me.
I have the Current Body neck & deck mask and I got the idea from you to make the neck part work on my sub mental using the longer strap that comes with it. It’s an extra step but saves me some money and fomo.
I love this video! I did not know this collagen brand. Have you tried Total Body collagen? They have Verisol, vit C and Hyaluronic Acid well, in addition they have Glutamine, Tryptophan and Biotin. I am on my first container, but the ingredients and the amount of each one are very aligned with studies that showed an improvement in Wrinkles and Fine lines.
I find products with NAG to work really well for my acne prone and dry skin! I’m OBSESSED with the EqualRXN Tumeric + Hesperidin serum- a holy grail! 5% niacinimide, resveratrol and a bunch of other goodies in there!PS-Just recently ordered a higher dose LED mask from your recommendation! Cannot WAIT to try! Was considering Dr. rajani but I couldn’t buy it with my FSA lol!
Do you have any thoughts on using k beauty serums for micro current Tx as conductive gels? Also, have you tried the VT reeder shots and do you have an opinion?
I think as long as they’re water based and you love them for your skin go for it! Personally I like to look for more clear than milky when choosing a serum that’s not specific to microcurrent. I find that then it conducts better ❤️
Hi Penny, I'm 65…ugh! Is it too late for me to start supplementing with Collagen , etc….. Also, been using Resin A & peptides ,etc….on skin for a while, but have deep underage & using Omulux LED, NIRA, BOTOX, can't rid of those wrinkles when smiling? Thanks so much❣
Oh, man. I’ll never be able to get my beloved Curel spray again due to stock issues now that you’ve mentioned it! It was bad enough when Hirons mentioned it. OOS for months. 😢😂
Hi Penny! Does the Dr. Rajani LED mask has the same amount of light bulbs as the higher dose? Which one do you see the most results with and what results are you seeing? I’m ready to purchase and just want to get your opinion. Thank you so much! Going to try the Cosrx peptide serum! ❤️✨Thank you!
Here’s a little comparison to hopefully help (PS I don’t think you can go wrong with either mask): HigherDose has 132 LEDs (66 bulbs with 2 wavelengths each) and an irradiance of 50 Price $349 On sale this weekend 20% off (my code PENNSUMMER gets 20% off or they’re running a sale with the same discount) go.shopmy.us/p-2628017 Dr Rajani’s has 234 LEDs (78 bulbs with 3 wavelengths in each…if I’m counting right) and an irradiance of 30 Cost $425 and my code gets 10% off- PENN10 Dr Rajani’s site says there’s a sale but I can’t figure out if the mask is included 🤔 store.rajanimd.com/pennsmithskincare Hope this helps! ❤️
Great video! The cosrx peptide booster sounds like a good product I would like to add to my skincare. I'm wondering are you still using the Revivserum. I'm using the Revivserum in the morning and at night as my first step after my toner.. would it be too much to use these two products together? If not how should they be used
I do still use Revivserum- both morning and night. I do skip it sometimes in the morning depending on the makeup I want to wear….sometimes too many layers won’t work with makeup so I simplify in the AM. I love Revivserum…I can’t see giving it up! And it plays well with the CosRx ⭐️
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE I know, I don't think I can give it up either... I love the Revivserum. I just want to understand how to use the Cosrx... Should it be used both morning and night. Or do you just use the Cosrx once a day. And would it be my second step after the Revivserum
I've been using Cosrx peptides and love it. I should use my Drmtlgy nighttime cream during the day.. pair them together....🤔😍...another great idea from Penny ❤Ty❤
Im not sure if you are underweight but gaining some weight helped me turn from osteoporosis to regular bone mass. Thin female bodies are naturally more at risk for osteoporosis. If you are at a normal weight, I recommend getting a weighted vest to walk around the house doing chores while wearing. Mine is 14 lbs and I wear it for 10 min a day.
That’s awesome! I was diagnosed with osteoporosis from ulcerative colitis and prednisone usage so I do everything I can to help my bones. I bought a rebounder, too. I take 10,000 iu of Vit D with 200 mcg K2 a day. I did a lot of research and found that high doses of Vit D works as an anti inflammatory in inflammatory bowel disease patients. Any little bit helps!
So I am a lip product junkie! For moisture: Avene Cicalfate lips is excellent Palmers coco butter stick is great Drmtlgy has a wonderful lip balm that is SPF 25 😍 And they have a night treatment for lips too ❤️
i actually like the ELF gel sunscreen that i got off of amazon. i have oily skin and i need a good sunscreen for that. it kinda acts like a primer too, which is good.
Thank you 😍 Well…I’ve lost a little weight and made some lifestyle changes….i think that’s the biggest contributing factor ❤️ But Dr Rajani’s mask certainly helps!!
I looked at the Dr Rajani LED mask and would have gotten it but it only had a one year warranty. I had an omnilux mask that died after warranty expired. Not spending that kind of money if it won’t last two years even.
I understand that completely! I just learned that Maysama’s mask has a 2 year warranty…I think that’s wonderful. I’ll have a pretty big discount soon for Maysama (and other brands will be on sale obviously for the season as well) 💙
Now that you’re using the Drmtlgy Peptide Night Cream as your day cream, would you share if using something different for a night time moisturizer and what that product is please? Thank you!
Absolutely love your recommendations as usual.Dr Raj's sunscreen is great! My husbands' fav for golfing every week. Cant wait to try his Led Mask! Thank you Penny!
Yes! Dr Rajani’s 😍 Which is on sale by the way, then my code stacks (I didn’t know that when I filmed or I would have said 😏)….it makes it under $20 😍😍
Thankyou again for another great video. I've had the HigherDose on my list for a while. The irradiance is 50, do you feel any heat when you use it? My concern is if it would make my sun/brown/age spots darker? I'd appreciate your take on this? (I value your advice) 😊
I don’t feel any heat. That said…..there is no guarantee it won’t make your spots worse. Technically “scientifically” it’s supposed to brighten age spots etc. but there are definitely people who experience the opposite. It’s the unfortunate grey area of LED 🫤
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE thank you Penn for replying ❤️ I've never found that led has made my spots worse and I've used a mask and a good spec bulb, but I was curious if 50MW had any effect, but as you say the information out there is so mixed. I watched all your led mask video's again last night and I've gone with the HigherDose mask. All the reviews incl yours, are top shelf! I'm 58 and reached that age where I need to invest in quality devices that will make a difference so I've got my fingers🤞🏻 I'd love to see some before and after of your experience with the HD mask. 🥰
Penny, did you stop using Droplette? I still have a bunch of capsules and use it here and there and would like to here if your impression of the product has changed.
Yes I stopped using it. I really loved that device but I could not ignore the overwhelming number of complaints from the community…..I felt like keeping it in my routine and sharing that was promoting the device and until they fixed the hiccups I couldn’t do that anymore. They did their very best to replace devices and have excellent customer service but….its just not enough. I’ll pick it up again if things change though! I miss that collagen capsule!!
Funny you mention Platinum…I have a video coming featuring Platinum! The Regenerate is excellent. I love Revivserum for lots of other ingredients besides the GFs (like the pigment inhibitors) but certainly can see the Regenerate being an excellent alternative choice to Revivserum! 😍
@PENNSMITHSKINCARE Penny one more request if I may....So I love doing at home chemical peels as it's way more economical. Does your skin have to actually shed/peel to get adequate results? I suggested a Biorepeel dupe would be appreciated but it was suggested that because you don't actually peel with that and the oils involved to buffer it, it's not really as beneficial. Hmm.....that wasn't my thinking. Just wondering what your opinion is. Thank you!
I would use a vitamin C serum first and if it’s l-ascorbic acid with a PH under like 3.4 then I would just wait a couple minutes between that and the CosRX. Any other vitamin C (not l-ascorbic acid) should be fine directly before the CosRX without waiting ❤️
Similar to how it can reach muscle or even bone through skin etc (not this cap obviously, but red light in general from a panel for example). It’s able to penetrate - red light in particular. ❤️
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE oh okay awesome! I was interested in getting it but wanted to make sure it’d reach my scalp without me having to part my hair or something
Hi, i am curious about the peptide essence. I use vit C in the morning and I think peptides are not meant to be used with Vit C? I use Tretinoin at night so curious if the peptide serum should be used with this?
Not better, but likely equally effective. No, I’ve never tried IRestore. I think they’re overpriced personally but likely works well. LEDs are less expensive which makes them more accessible to people-that’s what I love about the HigherDose most. ❤️
Hmmm. I don’t think they’re owned by the same company - and each brand definitely has several products that are one of a kind (with some proprietary ingredients). Maybe they’ve just white labeled that SPF? Either way, I say it’s a good one so get it at the best price regardless of the brand 🙃
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE I think the same company sells it under private label. A number of practices here offer the exact same formulas (im not sure about the SPF but have seen a number of their serums sold that way). Usually more expensively. I’ve reviewed the decks for clients and referred them to the website with your code for better prices! I too love Rajani (he’s my go to for a lot of stuff). He typically tries to curate really good stuff. He’s not claiming he formulated this, did he?
Hi Penn, would you say it\s okay to use those peptide products (both the booster and the cream) vit a vitamin C serum? And if yes, does it mean with any form of vitamin C?
I think they’re fine with most vitamin C’s although when the c is l-ascorbic acid and it’s at a low PH (like under 3.4) I’d wait a few minutes between putting on the C and using peptides. This is just me- a chemist might say that’s unnecessary. I just know that low PH can cause hydrolysis (breaks up the peptides in to amino acids) and that’s lowering their efficacy (although amino acids are still great). Again, a chemist might say it’s no big deal…but I think waiting is no big deal either ❤️
Hi! I love all your videos and have learned so much from you! Wi would love to know if you have a volufiline product - you would recommend? Perhaps I missed this in all your posts!
You have literally changed my skin.... from every problem you can think of, to clear plump youthful skin. Cant thank you enough!

Here is a link to my corresponding blog post, everything is linked there along with additional info (fun facts and usage for example 😍)

I totally get sidetracked with new (to me) products. Good advice to shop my stash. Also, I need to use up what I have!
I think I’ll start a series on that…maybe we could all try together to shop our own stuff and use things up…..it’s challenging when there’s so many amazing launches all the time 😭😭😭
Funny that’s exactly what I was thinking recently, the products available now in all categories are amazing, but I have to use up stuff and gadgets for a few months before I can indulge again 😂
The anti snap shampoo and conditioner are amazing
I agree!
Loveing the corsrx peptides essence and I will perchase a backup I use it with my mad about skin 3% copper peptides serum and the natrium peptides serum with great results thank you penny for this utube video take care be well ❤❤ yes b12 is a must love it for the energy it gives me
Hi!! So nice to “see” you!!
Have you tried any of the other supplements from cymbiotika? Like the liquid pouches/packets? I just started taking their glutathione, vitamin C and greens. I’m curious what other people feel about their stuff. I do agree it’s a lot of money though
Yep! I love the vitamin c and the magnesium from Cymbiotika- so convenient!
I actually have an open box of the mag on my bedside table 😍
Thanks for these great recommendations! I will definitely be trying quite a few of these! I also love Dr. Rajani and have been considering upgrading to his red light mask. I got a cheap one on Amazon that's probably not doing much for me.
Love the Curel. I use it on my face. I just get on well with glycerin.
Oh I haven’t tried it on my face! That’s a great idea!
I have the Current Body neck & deck mask and I got the idea from you to make the neck part work on my sub mental using the longer strap that comes with it. It’s an extra step but saves me some money and fomo.
Yessss!! That’s awesome!!
Is there a link to buy some of these products?
Listed in the description box, just click through “more” below. 😊
I love this video! I did not know this collagen brand. Have you tried Total Body collagen? They have Verisol, vit C and Hyaluronic Acid well, in addition they have Glutamine, Tryptophan and Biotin. I am on my first container, but the ingredients and the amount of each one are very aligned with studies that showed an improvement in Wrinkles and Fine lines.
I haven’t tried that one- I’ll check it out! Verisol is fantastic 😍
I find products with NAG to work really well for my acne prone and dry skin! I’m OBSESSED with the EqualRXN Tumeric + Hesperidin serum- a holy grail! 5% niacinimide, resveratrol and a bunch of other goodies in there!PS-Just recently ordered a higher dose LED mask from your recommendation! Cannot WAIT to try! Was considering Dr. rajani but I couldn’t buy it with my FSA lol!
Do you have any recommendations for an LED mask with a green light option?
I haven’t found one yet…..and I am *searching!*
Do you have any thoughts on using k beauty serums for micro current Tx as conductive gels? Also, have you tried the VT reeder shots and do you have an opinion?
I think as long as they’re water based and you love them for your skin go for it!
Personally I like to look for more clear than milky when choosing a serum that’s not specific to microcurrent. I find that then it conducts better ❤️
Hi Penny, I'm 65…ugh! Is it too late for me to start supplementing with Collagen , etc….. Also, been using Resin A & peptides ,etc….on skin for a while, but have deep underage & using Omulux LED, NIRA, BOTOX, can't rid of those wrinkles when smiling? Thanks so much❣
You’re the best. I wish I could meet you so badly! You should totally hold a meet and greet in pdx!!
I’m definitely going to!
In fact, Justin Hickox and I were just talking about doing a meet up together in Portland 😍
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE Don't stop there Penny, come visit Australia 😉💖
I enjoy your videos on a Chinese food level, and that's a lot.

Hahahaha that’s a new one! I’ll take it!! ❤️❤️
Thanks Brandon, I hope you have a beautiful day
Oh, man. I’ll never be able to get my beloved Curel spray again due to stock issues now that you’ve mentioned it! It was bad enough when Hirons mentioned it. OOS for months. 😢😂
Ahhhh I didn’t see Caroline had mentioned it! She’s the queen!!
Do you recommend any Medicube devices? I’m getting slight marionette lines that I would like to get a device for.
Hi Penny! Does the Dr. Rajani LED mask has the same amount of light bulbs as the higher dose? Which one do you see the most results with and what results are you seeing? I’m ready to purchase and just want to get your opinion. Thank you so much! Going to try the Cosrx peptide serum! ❤️✨Thank you!
Here’s a little comparison to hopefully help (PS I don’t think you can go wrong with either mask):
HigherDose has 132 LEDs (66 bulbs with 2 wavelengths each) and an irradiance of 50
Price $349
On sale this weekend 20% off (my code PENNSUMMER gets 20% off or they’re running a sale with the same discount)
go.shopmy.us/p-2628017
Dr Rajani’s has 234 LEDs (78 bulbs with 3 wavelengths in each…if I’m counting right) and an irradiance of 30
Cost $425 and my code gets 10% off- PENN10
Dr Rajani’s site says there’s a sale but I can’t figure out if the mask is included 🤔

Hope this helps! ❤️
You are so pretty! Your face is so symmetrical. You win the genetic lottery! ❤
Great video! The cosrx peptide booster sounds like a good product I would like to add to my skincare. I'm wondering are you still using the Revivserum. I'm using the Revivserum in the morning and at night as my first step after my toner.. would it be too much to use these two products together? If not how should they be used
I do still use Revivserum- both morning and night.
I do skip it sometimes in the morning depending on the makeup I want to wear….sometimes too many layers won’t work with makeup so I simplify in the AM.
I love Revivserum…I can’t see giving it up! And it plays well with the CosRx ⭐️
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE I know, I don't think I can give it up either... I love the Revivserum. I just want to understand how to use the Cosrx... Should it be used both morning and night. Or do you just use the Cosrx once a day. And would it be my second step after the Revivserum
Penn Dr Gundy says we should always put B12 under the tongue for better absorption.
Bought the maysama mask Pulse led and covers mouth. Bought serum too. Its awesome
Yay! So glad you love it ❤️
I've been using Cosrx peptides and love it. I should use my Drmtlgy nighttime cream during the day.. pair them together....🤔😍...another great idea from Penny ❤Ty❤
Oh yes! Try it!!
Im not sure if you are underweight but gaining some weight helped me turn from osteoporosis to regular bone mass. Thin female bodies are naturally more at risk for osteoporosis. If you are at a normal weight, I recommend getting a weighted vest to walk around the house doing chores while wearing. Mine is 14 lbs and I wear it for 10 min a day.
Actually I was overweight when I had my dexa, now at a good weight. I agree on the weighted vest! I have a 16 and 20 lb and I love them both!
That’s awesome! I was diagnosed with osteoporosis from ulcerative colitis and prednisone usage so I do everything I can to help my bones. I bought a rebounder, too. I take 10,000 iu of Vit D with 200 mcg K2 a day. I did a lot of research and found that high doses of Vit D works as an anti inflammatory in inflammatory bowel disease patients. Any little bit helps!
@@Joannabanana1989you really should investigate psyllium husk for your IBD.
Penn this another great video… I was wondering if you recommend something as a moisturizer for your lips and one also that has spf?
So I am a lip product junkie! For moisture:
Avene Cicalfate lips is excellent
Palmers coco butter stick is great
Drmtlgy has a wonderful lip balm that is SPF 25 😍
And they have a night treatment for lips too ❤️
i actually like the ELF gel sunscreen that i got off of amazon. i have oily skin and i need a good sunscreen for that. it kinda acts like a primer too, which is good.
That’s great! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE you're welcome!
U look different in an awesome way. Wonder if its the dr Rajani mask!
Thank you 😍
Well…I’ve lost a little weight and made some lifestyle changes….i think that’s the biggest contributing factor ❤️
But Dr Rajani’s mask certainly helps!!
I already have a CurrentBody LED Mask but dang it now I want to try Dr. Rajani's 🙂
I looked at the Dr Rajani LED mask and would have gotten it but it only had a one year warranty. I had an omnilux mask that died after warranty expired. Not spending that kind of money if it won’t last two years even.
I understand that completely!
I just learned that Maysama’s mask has a 2 year warranty…I think that’s wonderful.
I’ll have a pretty big discount soon for Maysama (and other brands will be on sale obviously for the season as well) 💙
Fantastic video. This video has answered some questions I was pondering.
Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Penn, did you see that Maysama came out with a face mask? It also pulses. 🥰 I hope they come out with a neck one too.
@@shannamccurley187 yes!! It’s really great!!
Now that you’re using the Drmtlgy Peptide Night Cream as your day cream, would you share if using something different for a night time moisturizer and what that product is please? Thank you!
I almost always end up grabbing the Drmtlgy Soothe & Recovery Cream 😊
Absolutely love your recommendations as usual.Dr Raj's sunscreen is great! My husbands' fav for golfing every week. Cant wait to try his Led Mask! Thank you Penny!
I need to have my husband try it too, great idea. I have him use Skin Aqua or Biore especially when he goes golfing. I bet he’d love Dr R’s 😍 too!
What other sunscreen did you layer the lightsaver with in the video? I need to know!
Was it the Dr Rajani?
Yes! Dr Rajani’s 😍
Which is on sale by the way, then my code stacks (I didn’t know that when I filmed or I would have said 😏)….it makes it under $20 😍😍
This was extremely timely! Thank you.
Hi Penny, new to your channel! Excited to learn. Q. Any ideas for eye bags ??? Thanks so much!! ❤
I do not know of any topical solutions but you could look into the in-office treatment called Agnes.
Only interested in vegan cruelty free. Your skin looks radiant. Shoutout from UK 🇬🇧
What did you do to your face? I haven't seen your videos for a while.. you look fabulous!!! 😍😍
Thank you.
great info Penn, Ty , cant wait to talk to my Dr about these
What an awesome video this was Penny thank you as always you hit it out the park! We love you and appreciate you❤
Thankyou again for another great video. I've had the HigherDose on my list for a while. The irradiance is 50, do you feel any heat when you use it? My concern is if it would make my sun/brown/age spots darker? I'd appreciate your take on this? (I value your advice) 😊
I don’t feel any heat.
That said…..there is no guarantee it won’t make your spots worse.
Technically “scientifically” it’s supposed to brighten age spots etc. but there are definitely people who experience the opposite. It’s the unfortunate grey area of LED 🫤
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE thank you Penn for replying ❤️ I've never found that led has made my spots worse and I've used a mask and a good spec bulb, but I was curious if 50MW had any effect, but as you say the information out there is so mixed. I watched all your led mask video's again last night and I've gone with the HigherDose mask. All the reviews incl yours, are top shelf! I'm 58 and reached that age where I need to invest in quality devices that will make a difference so I've got my fingers🤞🏻 I'd love to see some before and after of your experience with the HD mask. 🥰
Penny, did you stop using Droplette? I still have a bunch of capsules and use it here and there and would like to here if your impression of the product has changed.
Yes I stopped using it. I really loved that device but I could not ignore the overwhelming number of complaints from the community…..I felt like keeping it in my routine and sharing that was promoting the device and until they fixed the hiccups I couldn’t do that anymore.
They did their very best to replace devices and have excellent customer service but….its just not enough. I’ll pick it up again if things change though! I miss that collagen capsule!!
Hi Penny, just wondering why you feel Reviv growth serum is your favorite? Just wondering if you've tried Platinum Skin Care's Regenerate? TIA 😊
Funny you mention Platinum…I have a video coming featuring Platinum! The Regenerate is excellent.
I love Revivserum for lots of other ingredients besides the GFs (like the pigment inhibitors) but certainly can see the Regenerate being an excellent alternative choice to Revivserum! 😍
@PENNSMITHSKINCARE I look forward to see your upcoming video 😊 Thank you Penny for your insight and wealth of knowledge 🫶
@PENNSMITHSKINCARE Penny one more request if I may....So I love doing at home chemical peels as it's way more economical. Does your skin have to actually shed/peel to get adequate results? I suggested a Biorepeel dupe would be appreciated but it was suggested that because you don't actually peel with that and the oils involved to buffer it, it's not really as beneficial. Hmm.....that wasn't my thinking. Just wondering what your opinion is. Thank you!
Hi Penn, is it okay to use COSRX 6X Peptide Collagen Booster before a vitamin C serum or would it deactivate it?
I would use a vitamin C serum first and if it’s l-ascorbic acid with a PH under like 3.4 then I would just wait a couple minutes between that and the CosRX.
Any other vitamin C (not l-ascorbic acid) should be fine directly before the CosRX without waiting ❤️
I bought the Dr Rajani mask and I love it also .
That’s wonderful!
Love these videos, my skin & hair has really changed because of you💜
Happy Sunday my sweet friend! I hope you have a wonderful day! ❤️
Ughhh I wish they had that serum in Canada!!!! Nooooo!!! And ugh, swear by Dr Rajani! What a GOD ! 😍🙏
Penny, do you use the COSRX peptide booster before or after the Reviv Ultimate Serum?
After 😊
Rando question - I need to stock up on the Ultimate serum. Have you tried any of the other Reviv serums?
I have tried their HA, the tan lotion, some boosters but I haven’t tried the telomerase serum. That one is on my list!
How does the hat reach the scalp with the light if the hair is in the way?? Just curious how it can be effective if the hair is blocking the light.
Similar to how it can reach muscle or even bone through skin etc (not this cap obviously, but red light in general from a panel for example). It’s able to penetrate - red light in particular. ❤️
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE oh okay awesome! I was interested in getting it but wanted to make sure it’d reach my scalp without me having to part my hair or something
Hey! Can you recommend an effective body firming treatment?
Hi, i am curious about the peptide essence. I use vit C in the morning and I think peptides are not meant to be used with Vit C? I use Tretinoin at night so curious if the peptide serum should be used with this?
For me the only issues are PH - if the vitamin C is low PH it could affect the peptides.
And peptides are fine with tret
Have you ever tried iRestore? I’m wondering why higher dose would be better.
Not better, but likely equally effective.
No, I’ve never tried IRestore.
I think they’re overpriced personally but likely works well. LEDs are less expensive which makes them more accessible to people-that’s what I love about the HigherDose most. ❤️
Thank you! Such helpful information!!
Hello - thanks for your content! Could you provide your thoughts on the Dr. Pen M8s vs A11 vs Bio Pen Q2? Thank you!
Hi Penny, would you recommend Cosrx 6X peptide collagen booster for post microneedling?
Post cosmetic needling 100%
Medical needling- I would wait until the next day. As in needle in the evening and then use thd CosRX the next morning. ❤️
Have you ever tried Fre skincare?
Love the makeup look. Can you do this makeup look? Please
Hi.. Do those sunscreens work well under make up?
I think so, yes 🙂
About collagen (skin), have you tried Imeeden?
The Dr. Rajani sunscreen is the exact same private label formula as the DRMTLGY Broad Spectrum SPF 45. Are they owned by the same parent company?
Hmmm. I don’t think they’re owned by the same company - and each brand definitely has several products that are one of a kind (with some proprietary ingredients). Maybe they’ve just white labeled that SPF? Either way, I say it’s a good one so get it at the best price regardless of the brand 🙃
Yes, they sell many of their products (including the needless serum) under “white label” to medspas and doc offices
Rima do you think Drmtlgy sold their SPF to Rajani to white label, is that what you mean?
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE I think the same company sells it under private label. A number of practices here offer the exact same formulas (im not sure about the SPF but have seen a number of their serums sold that way). Usually more expensively. I’ve reviewed the decks for clients and referred them to the website with your code for better prices! I too love Rajani (he’s my go to for a lot of stuff). He typically tries to curate really good stuff. He’s not claiming he formulated this, did he?
Hi Penn, would you say it\s okay to use those peptide products (both the booster and the cream) vit a vitamin C serum? And if yes, does it mean with any form of vitamin C?
I think they’re fine with most vitamin C’s although when the c is l-ascorbic acid and it’s at a low PH (like under 3.4) I’d wait a few minutes between putting on the C and using peptides. This is just me- a chemist might say that’s unnecessary. I just know that low PH can cause hydrolysis (breaks up the peptides in to amino acids) and that’s lowering their efficacy (although amino acids are still great). Again, a chemist might say it’s no big deal…but I think waiting is no big deal either ❤️
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE , thank you Penn, you're the best!
Discount code doesn’t appear to be working for the collagen powder 🤷🏻♀️
The link should automatically apply it when you get to checkout.
Please let me know if it doesn’t, I’ll try and figure it out!
You’re right, it worked on my laptop, must be something with my phone. Thanks!
Hi! I love all your videos and have learned so much from you! Wi would love to know if you have a volufiline product - you would recommend? Perhaps I missed this in all your posts!
I have the product from Dr Rajani - but I haven’t tried it long enough to give any kind of review ❤️
