I have to admit I watch your videos as a part of my nighttime skincare routine! I pick one of your reviews and watch it while I use my face rollers, I roll for almost the entire length of your video 🤣 it’s so relaxing. Thank you for your content, it’s highly appreciated 💛
I missed this one at your original upload. As far as sustainability, wild harvesting can be very harsh for the environment, particularly the wildlife. I’m a WY property owner for generations so part of me loves that about this range. I am not saying this company does any worse than any other company or that I know of anything negative because I don’t but the area is very sensitive with the type of highly intelligent animals located there who are creatures of habit, can easily be spooked, and eat those wild grown foods. The type of large game animal that can and does starve regularly because of food or fear. The wild berries are there for them originally. I have used one product from the range and it was nice and okay for my sensitive skin. I would offer that they shift to sustainability because people in the know realize it’s iffy based on the above. It’s not about clean for them it’s about “natural” and “wild”. It is a remote area and getting trucks in and out of the area may be incrementally more than an area like Houston.
I had NO idea what you were saying when you were talking about cilantro, I was like what is this thing she is talking about.. I've never heard of it 😂lol I love hearing different people's pronunciation of things, also mexican cuisine is my favorite too lol. Texan relocated to Colorado over here.
Sports team sportsing! Lmao. Of coarse you’re introducing some great skincare and I’m over here like “where did she get those super cute fancy skincare spoons???” Lol but really did those come with the products or did you buy those? I really do love your videos and humor!
I’m very curious about this Triple-C. Strange that it would be in a tub and not an airtight container though? And the maths nerd in me wants percentages. Maybe I can sample it next time I’m in-store?
100 percent sustainability is more important to us! I wish the "clean" beauty would shift to "sustainable" beauty!! I am for sure going to try this. Have you or anyone tried Edible Beauty?!
I was totally thinking of cilantro and then you started talking about it. 🤣 I personally looove it. It's been so long since I've had good Mexican food. #darnpandemic
The Cleanser looks really nice., I don't usually like a foaming Cleanser but there's a few that have worked out. I'm currently using the Heimish green clean and it's a gel texture that doesn't really foam. I love the look of the eye cream too, anything with the word balm and I'm sold. Have you tried the Algenist triple algae eye balm? I just recently read about it and it sounds like a winner. I like what this brand has done with its products and packaging. I'm going to see if it's available here. ✌🐸
I bought the Heimish green clean! Just a mini size, but I've heard SO many good things. I can't wait to give it a try! Any chance you have access to the boxycharm pop up sale in your country? The Algenist eye cream is in it 👀
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I would say the heimish Cleanser is the nicest one I've used in a long time.. And sadly we don't have access to the boxycharm either.. Man, we really do miss out on a lot of great products here.. 😫
sounds great, untill you mention essential oils :( the vit C would have been great, but than adds more fragrance and lavender. I can't deal with strong smelling creams, it gives me a headache.
RUclips aggravates me. I was wanting to see this review, but for some reason RUclips thinks if I miss a video or two from someone I must just not want to see them at all. Even though I have notifications set to ALL.
Yeah, that same thing happens to me with channels I want to watch. I think the problem with the RUclips algorithm is this: with it being a computer itself, it treats humans like we are also computers. But we are humans - some days we want to watch koala videos (lol), and yet that doesn’t mean we suddenly ONLY want to watch koalas and nothing else! 👀
Alice, have you tried either of their serums? I’ve been loving the niacinamide one but am eyeing the vitamin-c one, and everything on their site is 30% off right now! 🥰🥵
I like their vitamin c serum, but because I have acne-prone skin, my favorite c derivative is the one that also helps with acne (SAP). They use the ethlylated form of c, which is more similar to stabilized L-AA. Great for brightening and smoothing My Alpyn favs (to this day!): melt moisturizer, line filling eye balm, and also the lip mask 😍
@@AliceintheRabbitHole do you think I could use the bearberry vit-c serum with the glow recipe guava tranexamic acid serum or would that be too much? 🤔
I feel like Alpyn has the scent of wildflowers. They have a melatonin mask with dandelion... so I think that's intentional. I like the brand and its one of my favorite "clean" brands which I often like for scent/texture. The biggest "negatives" I've seen are: (1) some of their products become hard to use all of without pulling out a tiny brush/spatula to get the last bits when they're in a pump, though I'll forgive this given the efforts they put in on sustainability; (2) to me this is a "cold weather" line designed to work best for people in drier colder climates, which doesn't mean people can't use it anywhere it just means that the default is a bit heavier than a comparable product from say k-beauty; and (3) their line has a lot of overlap on actives, meaning you may not want a serum and moisturizer and mask that all do similar things.
All good points! Your second point is especially interesting to me - that makes a lot of logical sense. I absolutely believe climate plays a big role in our skincare preferences! What I really want to wrap my head around (and still have not) is: why do most K-Beauty cleansers feel so much more drying to me? Is it offset by the hydration of all the ensuing products, or is there something about their climate that makes the same cleansers feel less harsh in their environment? It’s hard for me to guess as I haven’t experienced their climate, but I’m suspecting there is some other factor at play here! Thankfully the Sioris cleanser is a big exception, but the vast majority of Korean cleansers do not work for me - no matter how much I absolutely adore everything else!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I don't fully agree with South Korean cleansers being more stripping if you compare apples to apples. For example I think their gel cleansers to gel cleansers like youth to the people, most South Korean cleansers are more hydrating. Also if you compare clay based cleansers to other clay based cleansers in the rest of the world, similar issue. That said I think the South Korean populace leans towards those more stripping cleanser type. You rarely see milk cleansers. I associate that preference with the fact that South Korea is a very warm humid climate. Just as in the summer you may look for a gel cleanser vs. milk, or a lighter moisturizer, I expect that year round they lean towards the lighter textures.
This was great! When I heard the $$ I almost clicked off. Yet I couldn’t, U hooked me in w all the facts! Thanks for all the research. I recycle…yet didn’t know the glass vs plastic. ❤️ jax hole Wyoming and yummy huckleberries. Once again thank u lady!
Oh wow, are you familiar with the area? I’ve never been to Wyoming, but I did spend quite some time just looking at Alpyn’s photos. My goodness, what a GORGEOUS area that is!! 😱😱
@@AliceintheRabbitHole yes mama u r correct GORGEOUS! It is the billionaire playground. Even the airport is fabulously decorated in cowboy chic! Which I like e in my cowboy boots! Its breathtaking views are abundant. Ahhh I could live there sooo dreamy. The hiking 🥾 the air, the 🎿 the 🥶 will keep u inside snuggled by a fireplace under a faux fur blanket. Geysers to mountains. I had the privilege of staying at The Four Seasons unbelievable! It has a via Ferrata mountain climbing experience that is an awesome experience followed by an amazing spa that was well needed after the climb! One of my fav vacations EVER. highly recommend if u can’t tell. Sorry so long. Ok now let’s get back to out reality 85 degree humid holiday season. Ha ha ha hugs from tamps
So when do you use the two moisturizers. One day, which one? One at night which one? I would use the vitamin C at night under my tretinoin. Just my thoughts
I like the plant genius as a day or night cream - the vitamin c a little more as a day cream. I still used it at night for the trial, but I have now switched back to the Sulwhasoo overnight mask in the evening (probably partially bc it’s winter too). Still wore the vit c today though! I might have trouble stepping away from this brand 😆

Oh, this brand is going on my "Try in 2022" list. The images of the textures alone have won me over.
They're such a lovely little brand! It's one of those cases of "why don't more people talk about this brand?"
Thank you for the better skincare shots!!! I appreciate being able to see your product reviews up close 🙂 and your in depth info.
🥰🥰
I just love your vids! Always new and refreshing content. Alpyn now on my list of must tries. ❤️
Lavender doesn't agree with me but I'm going to be watching out for this brand
I had NO idea what you were saying when you were talking about cilantro, I was like what is this thing she is talking about.. I've never heard of it 😂lol I love hearing different people's pronunciation of things, also mexican cuisine is my favorite too lol. Texan relocated to Colorado over here.
Sports team sportsing! Lmao.

I really do love your videos and humor!
OMG me too! Fab spoons. I need/want them.
That particular one is from the Glow recipe avocado eye cream. Since I’ve bought at least 3 jars so far, I have a stockpile of the spoons now too 😄
@@AliceintheRabbitHole lol. Thanks!
I kind of want to go to sephora now just to smell the moisterizer, I am also one to appreciate textures, but my wallet is saying no lol
I’m very curious about this Triple-C. Strange that it would be in a tub and not an airtight container though? And the maths nerd in me wants percentages. Maybe I can sample it next time I’m in-store?
Ah good point!! My assumption is that it’s encapsulated forms of vitamin c, as any skincare formulator would know that can be in a jar ☺️
Alpyn Beauty looks gorgeous but my skin would not be happy with the citrus or lavender.
And cilantro definitely smells like soap! ❤️❤️
Oh nooooo!! So funny though, Ara smells the soap smell too, but she puts up with it lol!
100 percent sustainability is more important to us! I wish the "clean" beauty would shift to "sustainable" beauty!! I am for sure going to try this. Have you or anyone tried Edible Beauty?!
I haven't! Have you tried them? Looks like a cute brand ☺️

I love it SO much!! Such a burst of delicious flavor, and I love the fresh smell too 😍😍

❤️ “Sports team sportsing better than the other” Love your words
sounds great, untill you mention essential oils :( the vit C would have been great, but than adds more fragrance and lavender. I can't deal with strong smelling creams, it gives me a headache.
Definitely avoid, especially the vitamin c cream! I was perplexed by the reviews that said the smell is light. In that product, it is strong!!
i WILL BE TRYING THAT LINE, THANK YOU

I snuck a boy in my house once and he had to hide in my closet for over 6 hours!😁❌⭕
😆🤣 ah those teen years, they were really something!!
Thank you for sharing! You make complete sense! Glad this brand worked for you. Nice to see they are so good at sustainability and from USA.👏
I love to see it! Hoping more brands take note haha
Aloe works well for me too..❌⭕
It makes sense to me ❌⭕

@@AliceintheRabbitHole I’m in and told them I heard about the product from you. Ordered almost everything!
Hi Alice. Is the cleanser effective at make up remover. Would you use as a first or second cleanse. Thanks
Second cleanser for me! I can’t comment as much on whether it removes makeup as I do double cleanse. But it’s a great second cleanser!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole - thanks for letting me know. I am intrigued by it. Will have to see if I can purchase in UK.
Why aren't you facing us? Annoying.
