@@claudiaglowsHello dear. I am Polish. I am 43 years old and I enjoyed a super young look. Unfortunately, due to the RF treatment I lost facial fat and now I look old and sad with sunken cheeks. You look beautiful now, your face is full. Is it because you gained weight or because of Sculptra? You also used Adipeau, does it work? Please tell me what you did to have such a beautiful face again. I am desperate with my appearance. ❤
Happy belated birthday, Claudia! I will be turning 55 at the end of June - time flies! Why do I remember being 15 like it was yesterday!? Based on your videos, you and I are so similar! I appreciate all that you offer your subscribers in terms of living our best life no matter the age! ❤
Ur humble transparency concerning lighting bursts my heart w/warmth. U r 1 of the most beautiful ppl ever… both inside + out… both, in a class is its own. I would like hearing more ab the inflammatory dairy foods cons for u + the foods that u notice a negative difference, if u should run out of them. This video gave me a warm feeling for the day :) I hope all the comments are positive + do the same for u ♥️ Even ur cute pup is fortunate to have u 😊
Claudia thank you so much for your transparency and honesty around how big of difference lighting can make. I seriously feel like I am starting to get skin dysphoria from watching all these skincare videos of influencers either blowing out every imperfection with lighting or using filters that they wont admit to. I cant remember the last time I've seen a pore or a frown line. I can do a huge rant on this but I will spare you. Even some dermatologists on here use extreme filters and lie about it. Anyways I love you and some of the people I found through you because of the honesty and willingness to show your true skin. Plus you are gorgeous and aspirational in so many ways!
Thank you for your kind words. I know it can be frustrating and we fell less then if we are constantly bombarded by "perfection". Perfection does not exist, and chasing it is exhausting. Sending a big hug your way xx
Good afternoon Claudia, I have being with Agency for about 1yr plus… I absolutely HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! Very knowledgeable dermatologists and quality product. I THINK you and your gorgeous skin will ENJOY IT! Much love to you! Patricia.
Hi beautiful, the smile and kindness makes you more youthful. I agree retina and AHA’s does good things for the skin. Also your sculptra and lanluma m that fullness , does lift the face. Also I heard that women who choose hormone replacement, do better, than the ones that don’t. Red light , oh I love it. I just using for about a month now. Have a blessed day🙏❤️
Morning lovely Claudia. Lighting is definitely key to showing the beauty of skin. Yours is glowing! Happy belated birthday 🥳 I Always enjoy your healthy nutrition videos. I so agree about sunscreen, despite being boring, it’s IMPERATIVE to a dedicated skincare routine. It’s the only change my lovely 83 year old mother made about 10 years ago and it’s dramatically improved the youthful look of her skin and actually reversed some of her pigmentation. Happy Tuesday to you and all the lovelies here.💜
You always look great Claudia! Most youtubers would not say it was the lighting or zoom call videos that enhance their skin. Your honesty is appreciated. I once commented on a youtuber that I follow who has gorgeous blue eyes, but how they looked extremely blue in a particular video. She was kind as you are in her response explaining that she was sitting in front of a window in direct lighting. Tretinoin at .05 has been a game changer for me for more than 2 decades. Very diligent about my sunscreen also. I use other things, but I do not believe if I stopped them it would make a difference like Tretinoin and suncreen. For reference I am 67. Another informative video. 👌
Thank you so much Kathy! I think it is important to be honest to your audience about these things. and I appreciate hearing about the other UA-camr you mentioned. Glad to hear Tretinoin is working well for you as well. I really think it is a game changer xx
I went there and then it was like I was automatically signed into a subscription of 200 every two months so I kinda freaked out and cancelled it. Did I do something wrong?
Thank you, Claudia for your honesty and transparency. ❤ P.S. You don’t need any special lighting. You look naturally radiant in good old fashioned sunlight! 🌞 💛
I am 36, and my little girl just clicked on your video, saying, “It’s Mommy!” And I felt so flattered! You are beautiful and have a lovely manner. Thanks for sharing your secrets.
Hi Claudia ❤ 1st time finding you & you are absolutely DARLING!! I subbed immediately! I to am in my 50’s & love skin care. Just introducing myself! Hugs from CT. ❤
Hi Allyson, I am so happy you are here! Thank you for saying hi. I look forward to connecting with you more and future videos. And if there’s anything I can help with, please don’t hesitate to reach out.❤️
I agree with all the comments above. You are a warm and generous woman. For someone of your age who hasn’t had any surgical intervention you really do look fabulous. I suspect that you won’t age much more either due to your dedication to keeping it looking so healthy. You are an inspiration to many Claudia 😘
You are a sweetheart David! Thank you for your very kind words. Looking at my parents, it is hard to say how the aging process will go, but fingers crossed. The most important thing is stay healthy xx
Hi Claudia I have watched nearly all of your videos now and they are all so informative. I do get confused with layering ingredients. For example when you use the tretinoin do you use it first then what do you layer with it? Would it be possible to show your morning routine and evening it's a lot to ask but I'm sure there are a lot of us ladies who get confused. Thank you so much for sharing your skincare over the years you look fabulous ❤❤❤
Hi Claudia.. I just started using The Agency about 1 months ago. It’s FANTASTIC! I love the individual formals. My melasma has improved and I appreciate how they cycle the Hydroquinone and Cortisone for me with my retinol. I put my own estradiol 1% on top nightly. I noticed a difference in my 64 yo skin in the 14 day trail they sent. I also have been cycling a TCA Peel from PlatinumSkin care. Spacing them out 1 month a part commitment in doing 3. I am getting ready to do the third in 1 week. The results are far better and more effective than the last Laser I had done at the Derms office and is about $28.00 per peel vs the 1500.00 laser that yield disappointing results. Using numbing cream pre peel it’s tolerable and easy. I don’t want to use any heating devices due to buccal fat loss. Hope this is helpful and finds you well. Love your content. 21:38
Hi Susan, great to hear you are loving the Agency products. And you are quite brave to do real TCA peels, I am not quite there yet ;) Thank you for being here and for sharing what has worked well for you x
Hi Jean, I am so happy you are enjoying some of my videos. I know it can be a bit scary to see the sudden changes. Is HRT an option for you? Or even just a topcial estrogen applied to the face? A lot of the sudden changes around menopause are from the drop of estrogen and either one could be helpful x
Claudia a very honest and helpful video.Im interested more about the forehead lines vanishing and the use of the Retin-A you used .And i checked some of your older videos to find more info just now and you have definitely gone looking much younger over time.Hope you have settled well in the US especially with the deaging science rapidly moving forward there so you are in the right place.
Hi, I’m glad you enjoyed this. However, I’m not quite sure if you’re asking about my for headlines?. If so, I do Botox on and off, otherwise I would look like Mark Wahlberg ;-). But, aside from that, I do think that tretinoin has made a huge difference for those lines
I love your honesty Claudia. One question has been on my mind since a facialist advised me not to use my serums every day, but only a few times a week. She said it would make my skin more responsive, by not putting the same ingredients on every day. It's hard to find any info about this. All the products I use advise usage on a daily basis, but I don't trust this. Obviously the companies want us to use more product so we buy more product. What is your view on this?
Hi Monique, thank you for your kind comment. You know I have wondered about this myself. The theory definitely makes sense, but then it also makes sense to use something regularly to get the best results from it. So what I personally started doing, is using a certain ingredients, such as a peptide product for example, until the bottle is empty, then I will go to growth factors and kind of go back-and-forth like that. I will also try different products of the same ingredient, finishing a bottle up and then trying a different one. I can’t honestly tell you that that is the right thing to do, but this also allows me to try my products for this channel. So, I really don’t know the answer to it. I do think just like I would diet, there’s certain things we need to get in on a daily basis, but they can, of course, come from different foods. So the skin is probably similar. Meaning you can get antioxidants one day from a vitamin C serum, the next day for my green tea serum, and so on.
Thanks Claudia. Yes, I agree, it’s hard to know for sure, but it does make sense. I noticed in this video, there are some things you seem to use daily, and others once or a few times a week. I’m also a firm fan of Vitamin A, which I use daily, and it sounds like you do too, aside from your neck. Is that right?
Hi Bella, your kind and thoughtful comment made my day. Thank you so much. I’m really happy you are here, and I look forward to connecting with you more and future videos. If there’s ever anything I can help with, please never hesitate to reach out. xx
Hi Claudia. Your skin looks beautiful and healthy. I agree with you that your diet, red light, and your peaceful nature are very important in skincare. My routine is similar to yours, but with peptides, acids, and oils. I don't use estrogen creams or growth factors. I prefer to buy my tretinoin directly from a regular pharmacy because it is much cheaper than those online pharmacies. I started using tretinoin about 10 years ago on my super sensitive skin, starting at 0.01 three times a week, and now I'm using it at 0.1 without experiencing any irritation, applying it five days a week. I choose not to use it on my neck, where I use lactic acid every night, but I do use tretinoin on my décolleté area without any problems. I wanted to ask you if you have a video on castor oil, as you know it is the trending ingredient right now. I use castor oil around my eyes and it hydrates beautifully; I will start using it on my hands too. Years ago, one of my readers (I used to have a fairly large beauty website) told me that her dermatologist in Mexico recommended using castor oil on her stretch marks, and they disappeared.
no, I did see some slight results, but the owner of the company claimed that my Lanluma results were from his product and it really turned me off@@SoniaAnastasiaaa
Great video Claudia, I love the fact that you use science to support your choices. I have been using vitamin C from Timeless and I really like the results. I put it on in the morning before I put on my sunscreen. I also use Niacinamide serum and coenzyme Q10, from Timeless. I have recently started using Frankincense essential oil and the results seem promising, It plumps up my skin but I have to use it with a carrier oil like coconut oil, otherwise it can literally burn my skin. A friend of mine has started using castor oil and it has greatly diminished the red/purple spots she has on her hands and chest. Thank you again for your wonderful video. I always look forward to them. 😄🤩😍
Hi, thank you for your lovely comment and for sharing which products/ingredients are working well for you. I used to use Frankincense quite a bit and need to get back to it. xx
Hi Claudia. Thanks for the video. I order my tretinoin from India Pharma. Very inexpensive and very effective. I also order other things at the same time like the lash serum. Yes it’s important to keep our skin healthy so I often check the EWG website for product rating because our skin absorbs ingredients and it can go into our blood stream. I also love to see your what I eat in a day videos.
Hi Petra, that is great to hear. I have never tried to order mine from India, but I will definitely look into it. Thank you for your kind comment and for being here. x
Hi Maria, thank you for your kind words. I agree, Neogenisis recovery is my favorite growth factor serum so far. Glad to hear you are loving it as well xx
Hi Claudia. I have been using Agency for a few years. Before Agency I used their sister company Curology. I really like both services. One bottle of Agency lasts me about 4 to 5 months because I only use it 3 times a week, alternating with lactic or glycolic acid at night. Once a week I use Naturium Retrinal or sometimes more often if my skin is feeling irritated. My Agency formula is .07 tretinoin, 1% dexpanthenol, 5% tranexamic acid and 4% niacinimide. I am not sure it is beneficial for anti aging purposes to go over .05 on tretinoin for anti aging purposes. I have heard some physicians say anything higher than .05 is strictly for acne but Agency seems to think the higher the dose, the greater the results.
Hi Claudia, the estrogen face cream link isn't working. It says it's not valid. I think your skin looks wonderful. I struggle with giving up dairy. Cheese is something I love, right next to chocolate and coffee. Simple pleasures, I think. I stopped using tret, as I peeled all the time. Last night I went back to an old favorite, that I haven't used for a couple of years. Tatcha. Wow, did my skin like it. I also have been using the JOVS Blacken Pro. I am very pleased so far, but it is still early. Thanks for all the good information. Have a wonderful week!
Hi Susan, let me reach out to them and fix it. Thank you for letting me know Oh, I have been so curious about Tatcha and def. need to try it Lots of love xx
Hi Claudia ! Yes pls do the video on foods ! I know a lot of the foods but it’s good to be reminded . Thank you for your honesty but you do look beautiful lighting or not and your consistency is paying off . I think the first 3 ingredients are my most important through the years as well . I add C to that list though . Being in the beauty trade and licensed I’ve been able to get my hands on the strengths of glycolic they use in the derm office and med spas use and I did my own peels and I feel that and the tretinoin got rid of my actinic keratoses ! I did my chest also ouch ! I will always use a toner or body cream that has glycolic in it but I do give myself a break . Agency sounds interesting but I like to try various products and not be tied down to that . Can’t wait to see your peel
Hi Sue, I can def. make that video. What a great idea to use a glycolic acid toner on the body, I need to start doing so. Thank you for your kind words and all your love and support xo
I love your videos. I love how calm, honest and detailed your are...Thank you very much. If you could create a video on nutrition I'd love that. I also cut dairy out of my diet but I keep debating between a vegan/vegetarian diet and a diet that includes animal protein since the amount of the increase of protein it is so critical for aging
Hi Maria, thank you for your lovely comment. I will def. make that video on nutrition. In the meantime I recently uploaded a "what I eat in a day"video you might like. Regarding protein, I agree with you that it is very important. But I find It quite easy to get enough, even as a vegan xo
It’s melasma, I have it too. Getting too hot is the main cause, always wear a hat and use sunscreen. Try these on your face azelaic acid, kojic acid, niacinamide, cysteamine, rucinol, and tranexamic acid, but beware don’t use all at once , go slow, some can be harsh on some people
You look great! I love the sun and really dislike sfps as they really clog my skin and pores, I’ve always had large pores and combination oil prone skin..and I don’t like retinoids…so I have gone the peptides and led route mainly, seems to work for me. The neck is a concern area, and I have some sun damage not so much on my face but on the decollete. We are the same age.
Thank you for your kind words. I know it is hard to find an spf that is perfect, but have you tried korean ones? I even have my husband wearing them now, as they are so light and leave to cast. xx
@@claudiaglows I have to stwy away from chemical sunscreens and the Korean ones have them. And the non toxic physical blocks are thick and do leave a white cast! Maybe one day I’ll find something I can tolerate to wear :)
I love,love AlphaRet by Skin Better Science. I use the pads and also the cream. Once in awhile if I want a deep treatment I use the pad and put the créame on top but I don’t do that very often. I can’t be without that and my prescription Retin-A 1%. Also, I do love grow factors. Currently I’m using TNS by skin medica,been using it for years. Do you have a grow factor that you recommend? Let’s not forget vitamin C for the production of collagen. I know is a small fortune but I’m worth it. I’m 68 years old and people think I’m in my 40s. My skin looks excellent!
Hi Rose, I’m glad to hear you love the Skinbetter science product as well. You know my favorite growth factor so far is still Neogenisis recovery I think so. Often we think of taking care of our skin as a superficial thing, but it is the largest organ, and I think, taking care of it the way you are definitely pays off in more than just superficial ways. xx
Hi Claudia, I have been following your channel for a little while now and I have seen a drastic improvement to your skin, especially around the cheek area. I am only 6 months older than you and I too found peptides etc not very effective. I use a good moisturiser and a good oil on my skin, retain A once or twice a week and lactic acid almost daily, I think a simple routine with good ingredients will get the results most women want from their skincare routine. I think you look great for your age considering you were a sun worshipper, keep up with your great and honest content, it's nice to see your skincare routine working. All the best from Perth WA. (where the sun is very hot here too and skin cancers are high!!).
Claudia definitely GLOWS! The before and after photos are amazing! I hope you are feeling better these days. BTW, you can get a tiny ring light that will fit in your purse or tote bag.
I hear you, but, honestly, the change with the Lazor has made me re-think reality! Thank you. I will try the Atrino--and make an appointment for the Lazor. I really appreciate the slow and calm presentation.
I am also going to try Agency as soon as I use up my current skincare products. I believe it will up my skincare game dramatically, save time and money as well. Can't wait to get started! Thanks for sharing ❤
Claudia Glows -- What a beautiful voice you have. I also think your skin is lovely. I can't imagine how you have the time to use so many different products. Could you do a video about your schedule to incorporate all these different products?
Hi Claudia, thank you for all your great videos. You have a gorgeous flawless very healthy looking skin. I try my best to keep my skin healthy and glowy. My favorite products are the Skinceuticals Retinol 1.0 and the Skin Better Science Alpharet overnight. I've been using the Skinceutical retinol for the past 15 years once a week and the Alpharet for the past 4 weeks daily. The Alpharet is more gentle so I can use it every night. I clean my skin with Bioderma Sensibio water followed by Numbuzin Toner 3 and then apply Cerave PM moisturizer day and night. I use Elta MD clear spf 46 sunscreen daily for the past 15 years. When I go out I use the Haru Haru Wonder sunscreen that makes my skin more matte not so shiny like the Elta MD sunscreen. This is my simple skincare routine that works for me to achieve a healthy glowing skin. Never done any peels or lasers. I never layer more than 3 products. Less is more to avoid irritation and dryness. Thank you for your time to share all your beauty secrets! 🙂
Compared to these ingredients, where on the list would you put microneedling, or other procedures such as laser? I am having high hopes for microneedling.
I would put micorneedling up there with tretionoin. Lasers are on a whole other level, but of course it depends on the kind of laser. Ablative being the most aggressive, yielding the most results, all the way to clear and brilliant being more gentle with more subtle results x
@@claudiaglows I heard someone say microneedling exceeded the tretinoin effects by far so I am curious to see. For me tret is great, but more so I guess in preventing than in reversing much anything.
Hi Claudia, so good to hear your back in the States. I started out with Curology and after one yr I switched to Agency for the anti-aging benefits. My skin stayed so so very irritated. They had me back off for awhile, and still had severe irritation. I also was Rx’d Hydroquinone. But, when stopped using the Hydroquinone and used just their Tret., my face still stayed irritated. Hi, I’m Karla 62, and was with them for 2-1/2 yrs. I started using TT, then Medic8 Crystalized Retinaldhyde. I decided I wanted to try Rx Tret and I order mine from ReliableRX and my skin is loving it. Thank you so much for your time
Hi Karla, I am sorry to hear that you skin got so irritated from Agency, but glad you found something that works well for you. Thank you for sharing and for being here xx
Very informative! Your skin looks great and shows you know how to take care of yourself: excellent in natural daylight. I see you've moved due to a background change. I've been experimenting with Adapalene 0.1% and after 2 minutes, applying a small amount of Hydromol Ointment, which is an occlusive like Vaseline. When mixed with water it goes milky, then gently rub it on the face and the front of the neck, but is still irritating if done often on the back of the neck as it's covered up with a t-shirt and bedding when sleeping. It can be itchy, but reduced if using the occlusive (slugging). If the fresh air can get to it, it won't irritate. So, keeping the cool air at night visible on the front of the neck can help. When awake, my face isn't red from the Adapalene but pale instead as a result. Also, it's not greasy from the product. It's like making a product that's worth $100 if sold by a dermatologist but is a 2 step process as it takes longer to do, but would be more effective than mixing it together. If you plan when to do this, it won't be too inconvenient. x
@@claudiaglows You've made some big improvements with your skin shown by the comparison photos, so you're now gaining confidence over time instead of losing it. Yes, my experiment is a success and easy to do and with only using a small amount of occlusive mixed with water; the next day, the skin is dryer than expected without the grease or redness from the converted retinoic acid. No moisture loss as it's locked in and hydrated. xx
Hi Claudia! Yes, sometimes it is difficult to pinpoint what is working when using multiple products. I use basically what you do. I am a teacher, so I would spend all my summers in the sun and then off season, I would go to tanning beds. My husband told me my chest looked like the bottom of a burnt frying pan. So I finally put a stop to it. I also had plenty of damage on my face and neck as well. But like you said, applying sunscreen and using an umbrella at the beach has really helped my skin to repair itself. Funny thing, just yesterday I contacted MyAlloy to cancel my subscription for estriol M8 cream. Now I am regretting it. I will read the scientific info and will probably change my mind 😊 Something that I think has made an enormous difference in my skin is facial massage. I follow a UA-camr named Aysel. I do it twice a week. It has made a difference in my lip and forehead lines as well as the overall firmness of my skin. I have read that warming up facial muscles beforehand can intensify the benefits of microcurrent. You are a natural beauty, so you look great in any light. I thought you were going to say that love has made the biggest difference in your skin. Take care and continue enjoying your time with hubby. Sorry for going on and on, but this is my favorite subject! 🥰
Hi Deb, it is great to hear from you, as always. I can understand you canceling your subscription, as it is hard to tell if the cream does anything. I am going to stick with it a while longer and am keeping my fingers crossed ;) Thank you for recommending the face massage channel, I will def. check it out. Lots of love to you xx
I would love to see a video about the foods you eat that decrease inflammation. Also, can you suggest any cook books or books that you highly recommend regarding nutrition. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge & wisdom about skin care 🙏🪷
Hi, I can def. make that video. As far a cook books, I am not one to follow instructions too well :) So I do not have any cook books I can recommend, but I will do a bit of research x
Claudia you look gorgeous! I use agency for tretinoin and dark spot formula. I am up to 0.02% and so happy with the results. I may go up in strength but may plateau or go back down. I don’t use every night. Just 2 or 3 times per week. My skin likes this frequency. I also have the dark spot formula but still have some hyperpigmentation. I may try a TCA peel to see if that improves my spots. Hope this helps. Cheers!
Hi Jane, thank you for your lovely comment. And thank you for sharing your experience with the agency products. I think I’m definitely going to give them a try. xx
You may like to try the Reviv serums for growth factors and peptides. Penn Smith got me onto them - I live in the UK but get them posted to me, they are truly fantastic and I have seen a big difference in my skin since using them. I use the Ultimate serum which is newly formulated to include exosomes and the TelomErase. They are a fantastic company and always respond quickly when I have a question and explain the reasons for using which product really well. Also using their day retinol. Take a look, they are superb and like you I am a skin junky!! I had some filler done yesterday and the doctor doing it commented on how good my skin is - I'm 62, also completely agree with SPF and retinol! Great videos, thank you so much.
I love how genuine and honest you are. And you look amazing, better now than at 49, you turned back the clock 😊. I was looking at non invasive procedures to lift up my mid face and I came accross Emface. Have you heard of it? ❤
Thank you for your lovely comment ❤️ I have heard of Emface, but honestly do not know enough about it. However, I will try to do a bit if research on it x
Claudia, you look amazing!! Thank you for your honesty; it's so much appreciated!! So true that skincare is pointless if you aren't living a healthy lifestyle. I think your skincare choices look very similar to mine. It's nice to see someone else who has come to the same conclusions as me!! Thank you!!!
Any botox and/or fillers too? That’s not a criticism, just a question. You have lovely eyes, face shape, and I can see your skin is very well looked after 😉 I agree with you on sunscreen, retinols, etc. I’m late 50’s and been doing those for the last couple of years, and vitamin c, glycolic acid, nicotinamide serum, AHA’s etc. All made such a difference to the condition of my skin.
Wonderful video as usual! You’re so gorgeous and sweet! Love all of your explanations and your honesty. Lighting plays a HUGE part in how we look . Ever notice how many people take selfies in the car ? Perfect lighting! My best selfies are in the car . I have pics from the same day where I look older in my bathroom pic and younger in my car pic. I need to change my bathroom lighting cuz it makes me feel so old 🤣. I love Altreno too ! I can FINALLY use tretinoin because of it ! So much less irritating and drying than others . It’s due to Altreno being micro encapsulated and of course the formula/vehicle is lovely. Where do you get your estriol cream ? I’m considering adding that to my routine . I had laser a couple of weeks ago and I’m ready to get back to my Altreno . I’m going to try a buffered TCA peel or regular TCA ( since buffered are so expensive 😰) . Your skin is so youthful and glowing ! I’m so impressed and I love that we can truly trust what you say ! Have you ever had or done meso therapy? I’m considering trying that soon as well. My skin is so sensitive that I’ll probably try it on my stomach first to see if I get a reaction. Big hugs and love ❤️ 🤗❤️🤗❤️🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I agree, bath room lighting can be horrible. Yes, I have done meso therapy. I actually did it myself. I can not tell you that I noticed a huge difference, but I probably need to do it more regularly to be able to tell Lots of love to you xx
You’re so welcome ! I speak the truth 🥰. Thank you for your sweet reply and the love back ❤. That’s awesome you did meso yourself. That’s my plan too . I have the products waiting for me when I’m ready. I’ll probably microneedle them first and work up to meso . I think it does need to be done regularly . We shall see if I’m consistent 🤣Thank you for the honesty. I always come to you when I want to know the truth ❤.
I have used agency and it has been so great for me. I had spent almost two years trying to adapt to using the 0.1% adapalene and was still unable to use it on my neck and only about every other day on my face. When I started using agency, they started me on 0.009% tretinoin and I was able to use it on both my neck and face easily and every two months they increased it just a tiny bit. It was extremely easy to adapt to this way, much easier than just using the adapalene less days a week and/or diluted or sandwiched between moisturizers and occlusives. Now about a year later, I’m at 0.1% tretinoin on my face and neck without any trouble. I really recommend it!
Hi Claudia, I use Agency’s and it is going well for me. I love my prescription for tretinoin. I been using the agency brand for a year and they are very helpful with my skin care journey. Your skin looks great 😊
… Claudia, I’m wondering if you have ever considered using any of Dr. Rajani’s skin care products ? I love his aesthetic of promoting healthy skin from the inside out as well.
I love your honest approach. Im 50 yrs. lighting is crucial when doing shoots. Im inspired by you and what you say give me inspiration. I dont use EGF serums, because it can trigger dys-functional skin lesions to grow, as well as peptides. pre-cacerous lesions. I use retionids. the best for me retinaldehydes.. then in daytime vitamin C. So now its just vitamin c, spf 50 every day a chemical screen such as Evy, it covers 99% protection against UVA/UVB. Then a tinted sunscreen. With extra uva shield. and in the night Geeek and Gorgeous. Sometime i blend Tretinoin 0.05% with cetaphil. Every night. THANK YOU !!!!
Hi Robert, thank you for your lovely comment and for sharing your routine! I love the Evy spf, it is so good. Wishing you a wonderful rest of your week x
Agree with all the glowing comments. You are lovely and generous and knowledgeable and honest. A rare combination indeed. And your skin is #goals for sure 😊I've been using Retin-A for about 30 years and whenever I've stopped, my skin just doesn't look the same. Rough texture returns, uneven tone develops, fine lines start forming. You mentioned Agency for tretinoin. I've been using their formula and have been happy with it. As an FYI... I used 0.1% for YEARs but had to cut the strength A LOT when I started using Agency's version of Retin-A. The formula they prescribed me also contains 5% azelaic acid, 4% niacinimide, and 5% tranexamic acid - for hyperpigmentation - and those ingredients combined with a 0.05% tretinoin strength, was too strong for my skin. So, I'm using 0.02% daily which my skin easily tolerates and will work my way back up to 0.05% if it's not irritating. I too was a sun worshiper - grew up in Florida before sunscreens were a "thing" - so Retin-A really does help keep my skin healthy. And yessss to healthy food videos! ❤
Thank you for your very lovely comment as well as for sharing your experience with Agency. My skin is not to wild about some of those ingredients, like azelaic acid and niacin, so I can see how the combination with tretinoin would be super strong xx
This was one of the best skincare videos I've ever seen. Thank you. I would love to know the brand of estrogen cream you use. My face is pretty good but the skin on my hands is so thin, they are just hideous. Any skin thickening products you can recommend would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment and for being here. The estrogen I use is by MyAlloy.. I will link the site along with a code in the info box (sorry I forgot to do so earlier). You could try putting a bit of estrogen along with glycolic acid on your hands to help thicken the skin. Some also like to micro needle their hands... xx
Thankyou!! I have used agency for about 6 months. I like how easy it is- I started getting very dry patches so sent a message and they switched one of the ingredients in my formula. It’s very easy and I feel like my skin is brighter and better!
Your skin has so improved even if your say it's kind of bit of the light or so! Your picture before and after are so awesome! Can't wait to share what dna repair you're trying and your new peel!
Thank you Amber. I definitely think it has improved over the last few years, but I do think the last few months has just been lighting. Wishing you a wonderful rest of your week xx
Rockstar status in my book as well! ❤ just like all the other comments, I agree you’re the one to watch. Your videos are also first with crucial info we need to know. Weeks to months later some topics with pop up in my feed with a different influencer, and I’m like…hmm that’s old news, Claudia Glows covered that a long time ago! 💐🏅🍾
Wow, what an amazing difference in your skin in six years! What you've been doing is clearly working. Are you enjoying your time back in the US and how is adorable little Sam adjusting to the change? She is so sweet snuggled on the bed behind you. Have you connected with Leah during your time in Ohio? It would be great to see a video with the two of you!
Hi Maryann, thank you for your lovely comment. Yes, it is nice to be back in the US, I have missed it. Sam is doing amazing, she is happy where ever I am. No, I was hoping to see Leah, and we texted back and forth, but unfortunately it did not work out. I hope you are having a wonderful day, thank you for being here xx
@@claudiaglows Bummer on Leah but great that Sam is doing well. I suppose she is used to traveling and different living situations. She is lucky to have you 🥰
That would be lovely. I’ve been watching your channel for a while. I think we have quite a bit in common as a female trying to age gracefully and take the natural route. I also take Do Not Age supplements and a San Diego local company Neurohacker has wonderful products I’ve had success with taking. Looking forward to hearing from you in June.
Claudia- I have used Altreno in the past with great results. Now switched to Arazlo ( same manufacturer) which is advanced firm of retinoic acid. This product is zero irritation and works great.
Hi Claudia! 😊❤ I love how honest you are throughout each and every video and this one is no exception. Yes lighting can perfect the skin, but when you have beautiful skin and a youthful look to begin with (like you😊) it is even more gorgeous! Not all lighting - you look 35 to me! 💜 I wanted to tell you that I’ve been using Curology for my retin-A for the past nine years… They’ve since switched to Agency, but Curology has the three ingredients and still works for me for my anti-aging. (And it’s cheaper) The tretinoin is .14% and I love it, and highly recommended! Thanks for another great video. Hope all is well with you!🥰
Hi Sara, you are a sweetheart, thank you for your very lovely comment. And I am glad to hear you are enjoying Curology. I did not know they were cheaper, that is good to hear Sending a big hug your way, thank you for being here and all your love and support xx
@@maryannkastorff9680 hello! The way I understand it. ..the company started as Curology when I first joined and was targeted toward more acne based cures than anti-aging. I believe that they started to notice the market for anti-aging and just changed it up a bit and added Agency. agency has four ingredients and Curology has three. That I believe the difference in the price also agency has dark spot formula as well.
Hello my gorgeous friend! I hope you’re doing well! I always enjoy watching your videos and your beautiful genuine smile just brightens my day! You are definitely using all the beneficial ingredients and your skin is showing it! I agree with growth factors and peptides and I just recently stopped using GF too because I wasn’t seeing much results and it’s so expensive. I went to see a derm about my rosacea and she put me on several meds that aren’t working so I’m back on the hunt for something that will work for me! Thank you as always and I loved seeing precious Sam in the background! Have a wonderful rest of the week 😘
@@claudiaglowsAlways so good to hear back you! Your rosacea is so much better so whatever IPL you had worked. I went to a derm and they talked to me about but said I would need two different types and several rounds which equals lots of money so I’m looking for alternatives. Take care beautiful 🥰
I definetly saw that differences using glycolic acid toner and a serum with hyaloric acid and peptides(from the ordinary) . THank you for this very informatic video. I liked that you included scientific studies. You are glowing, inside and outside
Hi Claudia, How do you incorporate the Estriol into your routine? I just started using the brand "Musely" their "Age Repair Cream" which contains the same 0.3% Estriol. I also use the "Anti-Aging Cream" which is their tretinoin at night. I'm using the Estriol cream in the morning after my Vitamin C serum. I've also tried it at night after the tretinoin. Not sure what works best. I'm also not sure the Estriol is doing much, seems to make my skin drier. I've been on tretinoin for 15 yrs. (I'm 57} I've been trying to scale down my products but there's too much out there. It's hard! Also, I did try Agency awhile ago and my skin did not like their tretinoin, too many ingredients with it and also maybe wasn't compatible with other actives I was using. I really like the "Musely" brand. It's the same online compounded formulas Mine has the tret, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid. Love your videos, thank you for making them!
Hi Lorraine, I use tretionoin first and then the estrogen cream. Glad to hear you are liking Musley, I have been curious about that one Thank you for your kind words and for being here xx
@@claudiaglows Do you use the estrogen cream before any moisturizers, or is the the last step in your sequence of products? I can't use HRT due to a clotting disorder and have thought about adding an estrogen cream. Just not sure if it will be worth the additional expense.
You always look beautiful. Firstly you started with a tremendous base and you are respecting and caring for it with good nutrition and good skin care products. Having said all that it’s not easy to know what or which of the products or all make the difference. I use vitamin C and retinol and a good moisturizer and red light and micro current. My basic routine that I have been doing for years. I just had my first sculptra treatment. I’m happy with it.
Thank you as always for your thoughtful comment. I’m happy to hear that you are satisfied with your first sculptra treatment, please continue to keep me posted. Thank you also for sharing a bit about you. Skin care routine. x
@@claudiaglows have to add Claudia that because of you I use red light therapy and the Ziip and purchased the Oralift. I still have a mental block however about the fit of the second tray. I made an error and had to re do but still not right. Now I’m afraid to try over again. Putting it back in boiling water. I think I will reach out to them even thought I bought it through Current Body. I ordered NMN thought Cymbotika. Couldn’t afford the one from DoNotAge :) xo
I think I've written about this in a comment before, but the product that gives me the most bang for my buck is an antioxidant serum by Herbal Face Food. For my mid 40s normal to dry skin it has been toe to toe with Vitamin A in noticeable results. Particularly, skin brightness, clarity and bounce. They've gotten pretty pricey over time as well as some of the wording on their website getting a bit corny (kind of Bader-influenced I think), but I have been using the serums every day for two and a half years now and will never be without. I always have level one and either level two or three on hand - rotate as to go milder after exfoliation, etc. I use those pads from Skinbetter as well, alongside AlphaRet (love both), and use BR P50 a few times a week still, and last month introduced Azelaic acid which has really surprised me in such a pleasant way. Helping with redness. I started with Naturium's.
Hi Angela, thank you so much for being here. I am definitely going to look into the herbal face food brand, thank you for recommending it. Wishing you a wonderful rest of your day X
@@claudiaglows I've been using Naturium's azelaic acid for a few months and am surprised at how much it has brought down my rosacea redness. My chin used to look like Rudolph's nose and it blends into the rest of my face now.
Claudia, do you think Greek yogurt w/ zero or low sugar is a bad food? That’s the only dairy I eat once a day. Thank you for your videos. They are honest and real, and so helpful.
Hi Lori, no, if it’s the only dairy you eat, and if your body can handle it, then I think it’s totally OK Thank you for your kind words and for being here x
You always look great. Your honesty is refreshing. Thanks for sharing with us the ingredients that have made the most impact on your skin. I need a good exfoliant. I bought the Dermelect but don’t really like it. I might try the Skin better peel pads. Hope you have an amazing week! ❤
Hi Debbie, thank you for you kind words. I did not like the dermalect either. Hopefully you will enjoy the Skinbetter pads, please keep me posted Wishing you a beautiful week xx
Great video. Your honesty about lighting is so Refreshing! I am a chemist and love skin care..so you know I'm going to be all into the ingredients haha. I find it interesting you put glycolic acid near the top of your list and vitamin C near the end. I didn't personally have the best results previously with glycolic. I found it aggressive and read retinoids are more effective but I have some...perhaps something I will add to my once a week list. I did find your comments about nutrition and skin true though and have noticed it on others as well.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment and for your thoughts on some of these ingredients Personally I have not seen the same results rug vitamin c as with AHA’s, but it just shows you, we are all different ❤️
Claudia, to treat the loss of elasticity and other things, you might consider hormone replacement therapy with pallets. I’m 61 and only started the pellet therapy this year and wish I had started it at 55 because you can’t regain a lot of that elasticity once it’s gone.
Love your videos, Claudia. Your skin looks beautiful. I have used Agency and Curology but had to stop. My skin didn't do well on it. I developed patches of dry skin. Didn't want to deal with it.
Thank you for your lovely comment Marine . I’m sorry to hear that. The agency products did not work well for you. Do you have some favorite products now? x
So transparent.. I love it!! ❤️ right straight from the heart and forward.. I can tell you I have tried it all and I feel these things i applied help skin texture but overall there is no big beauty secret unless it's botox. With that being said you shine on everything you speak of is soo true..
Hi Claudia! Your honesty is so wonderful! Your skin looks beautiful! I would like to start using a retinol based product. The Trentioin that you get, is that available on Amazon or in stores? Or is it a prescription? Thank you! ❤
Hi Robin, thank you for your lovely comment. No unfortunately what I use is prescription Retinoid acid is usually prescription only. But you can get retinol or retinal over-the-counter, and there are some really great formulations at this point x
Your voice is so lovely. I feel really relaxed listening to you xx
❤️
@@claudiaglowsHello dear. I am Polish. I am 43 years old and I enjoyed a super young look. Unfortunately, due to the RF treatment I lost facial fat and now I look old and sad with sunken cheeks. You look beautiful now, your face is full. Is it because you gained weight or because of Sculptra? You also used Adipeau, does it work? Please tell me what you did to have such a beautiful face again. I am desperate with my appearance. ❤
Happy belated birthday, Claudia! I will be turning 55 at the end of June - time flies! Why do I remember being 15 like it was yesterday!? Based on your videos, you and I are so similar! I appreciate all that you offer your subscribers in terms of living our best life no matter the age! ❤

Claudia thank you so much for your transparency and honesty around how big of difference lighting can make. I seriously feel like I am starting to get skin dysphoria from watching all these skincare videos of influencers either blowing out every imperfection with lighting or using filters that they wont admit to. I cant remember the last time I've seen a pore or a frown line. I can do a huge rant on this but I will spare you. Even some dermatologists on here use extreme filters and lie about it. Anyways I love you and some of the people I found through you because of the honesty and willingness to show your true skin. Plus you are gorgeous and aspirational in so many ways!
Thank you for your kind words. I know it can be frustrating and we fell less then if we are constantly bombarded by "perfection". Perfection does not exist, and chasing it is exhausting.
Sending a big hug your way

Good afternoon Claudia,
I have being with Agency for about 1yr plus…
I absolutely HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
Very knowledgeable dermatologists and quality product.
I THINK you and your gorgeous skin will ENJOY IT!
Much love to you!

Hi beautiful, the smile and kindness makes you more youthful. I agree retina and AHA’s does good things for the skin. Also your sculptra and lanluma m that fullness , does lift the face. Also I heard that women who choose hormone replacement, do better, than the ones that don’t. Red light , oh I love it. I just using for about a month now. Have a blessed day🙏❤️
Hi gorgeous, thank you for all your love and support and your always kind comments
I hope you and your husband are doing well

Morning lovely Claudia. Lighting is definitely key to showing the beauty of skin. Yours is glowing! Happy belated birthday 🥳
I Always enjoy your healthy nutrition videos. I so agree about sunscreen, despite being boring, it’s IMPERATIVE to a dedicated skincare routine. It’s the only change my lovely 83 year old mother made about 10 years ago and it’s dramatically improved the youthful look of her skin and actually reversed some of her pigmentation. Happy Tuesday to you and all the lovelies here.💜
Happy Tuesday beautiful and thank you fir your kind words
I desperately need to catch up on your videos…
xx
You always look great Claudia! Most youtubers would not say it was the lighting or zoom call videos that enhance their skin. Your honesty is appreciated. I once commented on a youtuber that I follow who has gorgeous blue eyes, but how they looked extremely blue in a particular video. She was kind as you are in her response explaining that she was sitting in front of a window in direct lighting.
Tretinoin at .05 has been a game changer for me for more than 2 decades. Very diligent about my sunscreen also. I use other things, but I do not believe if I stopped them it would make a difference like Tretinoin and suncreen. For reference I am 67. Another informative video. 👌
Thank you so much Kathy! I think it is important to be honest to your audience about these things. and I appreciate hearing about the other UA-camr you mentioned.
Glad to hear Tretinoin is working well for you as well. I really think it is a game changer
xx
I absolutely love Agency. I like how there are comlplementary ingredients to improve your skin.
That is great to hear, I will def. try them

I went there and then it was like I was automatically signed into a subscription of 200 every two months so I kinda freaked out and cancelled it. Did I do something wrong?
Thank you, Claudia for your honesty and transparency. ❤ P.S. You don’t need any special lighting. You look naturally radiant in good old fashioned sunlight! 🌞 💛

I agree with all the comments above. You are a warm and generous woman. For someone of your age who hasn’t had any surgical intervention you really do look fabulous. I suspect that you won’t age much more either due to your dedication to keeping it looking so healthy. You are an inspiration to many Claudia 😘
You are a sweetheart David! Thank you for your very kind words. Looking at my parents, it is hard to say how the aging process will go, but fingers crossed. The most important thing is stay healthy

Hi Claudia I have watched nearly all of your videos now and they are all so informative. I do get confused with layering ingredients. For example when you use the tretinoin do you use it first then what do you layer with it? Would it be possible to show your morning routine and evening it's a lot to ask but I'm sure there are a lot of us ladies who get confused. Thank you so much for sharing your skincare over the years you look fabulous ❤❤❤
Hi Claudia.. I just started using The Agency about 1 months ago. It’s FANTASTIC! I love the individual formals. My melasma has improved and I appreciate how they cycle the Hydroquinone and Cortisone for me with my retinol. I put my own estradiol 1% on top nightly. I noticed a difference in my 64 yo skin in the 14 day trail they sent. I also have been cycling a TCA Peel from PlatinumSkin care. Spacing them out 1 month a part commitment in doing 3. I am getting ready to do the third in 1 week. The results are far better and more effective than the last Laser I had done at the Derms office and is about $28.00 per peel vs the 1500.00 laser that yield disappointing results. Using numbing cream pre peel it’s tolerable and easy. I don’t want to use any heating devices due to buccal fat loss. Hope this is helpful and finds you well. Love your content. 21:38
Hi Susan, great to hear you are loving the Agency products.
And you are quite brave to do real TCA peels, I am not quite there yet ;)
Thank you for being here and for sharing what has worked well for you

I never miss an episode you share. I'm in full blown menopause and my face is showing it.
Hi Jean, I am so happy you are enjoying some of my videos. I know it can be a bit scary to see the sudden changes. Is HRT an option for you? Or even just a topcial estrogen applied to the face?
A lot of the sudden changes around menopause are from the drop of estrogen and either one could be helpful

Claudia a very honest and helpful video.Im interested more about the forehead lines vanishing and the use of the Retin-A you used .And i checked some of your older videos to find more info just now and you have definitely gone looking much younger over time.Hope you have settled well in the US especially with the deaging science rapidly moving forward there so you are in the right place.
Hi, I’m glad you enjoyed this. However, I’m not quite sure if you’re asking about my for headlines?. If so, I do Botox on and off, otherwise I would look like Mark Wahlberg ;-).
But, aside from that, I do think that tretinoin has made a huge difference for those lines
@@claudiaglows im refering to when you mention the use of Retinol acid at 09.37 and how everything cleared after 3 months
@@claudiaglows i just checked on Mark Wahlberg and he definitely needs your advice as he looks at least 20 years old then what he suppose to be lol
you are too cute ;)@@mystikrebel1089
oh, I started to make videos right after that. @@mystikrebel1089
I love your honesty Claudia. One question has been on my mind since a facialist advised me not to use my serums every day, but only a few times a week. She said it would make my skin more responsive, by not putting the same ingredients on every day. It's hard to find any info about this. All the products I use advise usage on a daily basis, but I don't trust this. Obviously the companies want us to use more product so we buy more product. What is your view on this?
Hi Monique, thank you for your kind comment. You know I have wondered about this myself. The theory definitely makes sense, but then it also makes sense to use something regularly to get the best results from it. So what I personally started doing, is using a certain ingredients, such as a peptide product for example, until the bottle is empty, then I will go to growth factors and kind of go back-and-forth like that. I will also try different products of the same ingredient, finishing a bottle up and then trying a different one. I can’t honestly tell you that that is the right thing to do, but this also allows me to try my products for this channel.
So, I really don’t know the answer to it. I do think just like I would diet, there’s certain things we need to get in on a daily basis, but they can, of course, come from different foods. So the skin is probably similar. Meaning you can get antioxidants one day from a vitamin C serum, the next day for my green tea serum, and so on.
Thanks Claudia. Yes, I agree, it’s hard to know for sure, but it does make sense. I noticed in this video, there are some things you seem to use daily, and others once or a few times a week. I’m also a firm fan of Vitamin A, which I use daily, and it sounds like you do too, aside from your neck. Is that right?
yes. But I do sometimes play around with different form of vitamin A@@moniqueledesma
Claudia I am a new subscriber and I binged watch alot of your videos today. You are my favorite on UA-cam!!

Hi Claudia. Your skin looks beautiful and healthy. I agree with you that your diet, red light, and your peaceful nature are very important in skincare. My routine is similar to yours, but with peptides, acids, and oils. I don't use estrogen creams or growth factors. I prefer to buy my tretinoin directly from a regular pharmacy because it is much cheaper than those online pharmacies. I started using tretinoin about 10 years ago on my super sensitive skin, starting at 0.01 three times a week, and now I'm using it at 0.1 without experiencing any irritation, applying it five days a week. I choose not to use it on my neck, where I use lactic acid every night, but I do use tretinoin on my décolleté area without any problems. I wanted to ask you if you have a video on castor oil, as you know it is the trending ingredient right now. I use castor oil around my eyes and it hydrates beautifully; I will start using it on my hands too. Years ago, one of my readers (I used to have a fairly large beauty website) told me that her dermatologist in Mexico recommended using castor oil on her stretch marks, and they disappeared.
Hi gorgeous, thank you for your kind words and for sharing some things that have made a difference for you
I so appreciate you

What about adipeau? Do you still continue to use it?
Hi Sonia, no I stopped using that one a long time ago.
@@claudiaglows thanks for informing, was it just because you weren't seeing results?
no, I did see some slight results, but the owner of the company claimed that my Lanluma results were from his product and it really turned me off@@SoniaAnastasiaaa
Always appreciate your honesty my German sister ! 🙌❤
Thank you Gigi ❤️
Great video Claudia, I love the fact that you use science to support your choices. I have been using vitamin C from Timeless and I really like the results. I put it on in the morning before I put on my sunscreen. I also use Niacinamide serum and coenzyme Q10, from Timeless. I have recently started using Frankincense essential oil and the results seem promising, It plumps up my skin but I have to use it with a carrier oil like coconut oil, otherwise it can literally burn my skin. A friend of mine has started using castor oil and it has greatly diminished the red/purple spots she has on her hands and chest. Thank you again for your wonderful video. I always look forward to them. 😄🤩😍
Hi, thank you for your lovely comment and for sharing which products/ingredients are working well for you. I used to use Frankincense quite a bit and need to get back to it.

Hi Claudia. Thanks for the video. I order my tretinoin from India Pharma. Very inexpensive and very effective. I also order other things at the same time like the lash serum. Yes it’s important to keep our skin healthy so I often check the EWG website for product rating because our skin absorbs ingredients and it can go into our blood stream.
I also love to see your what I eat in a day videos.

Love can you tell me if I can use estradiol cream on my face.

Hi Claudia. I have been using Agency for a few years. Before Agency I used their sister company Curology. I really like both services. One bottle of Agency lasts me about 4 to 5 months because I only use it 3 times a week, alternating with lactic or glycolic acid at night. Once a week I use Naturium Retrinal or sometimes more often if my skin is feeling irritated. My Agency formula is .07 tretinoin, 1% dexpanthenol, 5% tranexamic acid and 4% niacinimide.
I am not sure it is beneficial for anti aging purposes to go over .05 on tretinoin for anti aging purposes. I have heard some physicians say anything higher than .05 is strictly for acne but Agency seems to think the higher the dose, the greater the results.
Hi, glad to hear you are liking the service. I agree with you, I am not sure it is beneficial to go over 0.5%. Most studies are done with that %.

Hi Claudia, the estrogen face cream link isn't working. It says it's not valid. I think your skin looks wonderful. I struggle with giving up dairy. Cheese is something I love, right next to chocolate and coffee. Simple pleasures, I think. I stopped using tret, as I peeled all the time. Last night I went back to an old favorite, that I haven't used for a couple of years. Tatcha. Wow, did my skin like it. I also have been using the JOVS Blacken Pro. I am very pleased so far, but it is still early. Thanks for all the good information. Have a wonderful week!
Hi Susan, let me reach out to them and fix it. Thank you for letting me know
Oh, I have been so curious about Tatcha and def. need to try it
Lots of love

Same here was trying to get on website
Hi Claudia ! Yes pls do the video on foods ! I know a lot of the foods but it’s good to be reminded . Thank you for your honesty but you do look beautiful lighting or not and your consistency is paying off . I think the first 3 ingredients are my most important through the years as well . I add C to that list though . Being in the beauty trade and licensed I’ve been able to get my hands on the strengths of glycolic they use in the derm office and med spas use and I did my own peels and I feel that and the tretinoin got rid of my actinic keratoses ! I did my chest also ouch ! I will always use a toner or body cream that has glycolic in it but I do give myself a break . Agency sounds interesting but I like to try various products and not be tied down to that . Can’t wait to see your peel
Hi Sue, I can def. make that video. What a great idea to use a glycolic acid toner on the body, I need to start doing so. Thank you for your kind words and all your love and support

I love your videos. I love how calm, honest and detailed your are...Thank you very much. If you could create a video on nutrition I'd love that. I also cut dairy out of my diet but I keep debating between a vegan/vegetarian diet and a diet that includes animal protein since the amount of the increase of protein it is so critical for aging
Hi Maria, thank you for your lovely comment. I will def. make that video on nutrition. In the meantime I recently uploaded a "what I eat in a day"video you might like. Regarding protein, I agree with you that it is very important. But I find It quite easy to get enough, even as a vegan

It’s melasma, I have it too. Getting too hot is the main cause, always wear a hat and use sunscreen. Try these on your face azelaic acid, kojic acid, niacinamide, cysteamine, rucinol, and tranexamic acid, but beware don’t use all at once , go slow, some can be harsh on some people
You look great! I love the sun and really dislike sfps as they really clog my skin and pores, I’ve always had large pores and combination oil prone skin..and I don’t like retinoids…so I have gone the peptides and led route mainly, seems to work for me. The neck is a concern area, and I have some sun damage not so much on my face but on the decollete. We are the same age.
Thank you for your kind words. I know it is hard to find an spf that is perfect, but have you tried korean ones? I even have my husband wearing them now, as they are so light and leave to cast.
xx
@@claudiaglows I have to stwy away from chemical sunscreens and the Korean ones have them. And the non toxic physical blocks are thick and do leave a white cast! Maybe one day I’ll find something I can tolerate to wear :)
I love,love AlphaRet by Skin Better Science. I use the pads and also the cream. Once in awhile if I want a deep treatment I use the pad and put the créame on top but I don’t do that very often. I can’t be without that and my prescription Retin-A 1%. Also, I do love grow factors. Currently I’m using TNS by skin medica,been using it for years. Do you have a grow factor that you recommend? Let’s not forget vitamin C for the production of collagen. I know is a small fortune but I’m worth it. I’m 68 years old and people think I’m in my 40s. My skin looks excellent!
Hi Rose, I’m glad to hear you love the Skinbetter science product as well.
You know my favorite growth factor so far is still Neogenisis recovery
I think so. Often we think of taking care of our skin as a superficial thing, but it is the largest organ, and I think, taking care of it the way you are definitely pays off in more than just superficial ways.

Hi Claudia, I have been following your channel for a little while now and I have seen a drastic improvement to your skin, especially around the cheek area. I am only 6 months older than you and I too found peptides etc not very effective. I use a good moisturiser and a good oil on my skin, retain A once or twice a week and lactic acid almost daily, I think a simple routine with good ingredients will get the results most women want from their skincare routine. I think you look great for your age considering you were a sun worshipper, keep up with your great and honest content, it's nice to see your skincare routine working. All the best from Perth WA. (where the sun is very hot here too and skin cancers are high!!).
Hi Amanda, it is wonderful to hear from you and thank you so much for your kind words.
Lots of love to Perth

Claudia definitely GLOWS! The before and after photos are amazing! I hope you are feeling better these days. BTW, you can get a tiny ring light that will fit in your purse or tote bag.
You are a sweetheart Chris! Thank you for your lovely comment, and this suggestion.

I hear you, but, honestly, the change with the Lazor has made me re-think reality! Thank you.
I will try the Atrino--and make an appointment for the Lazor. I really appreciate the slow and calm presentation.

I am also going to try Agency as soon as I use up my current skincare products. I believe it will up my skincare game dramatically, save time and money as well. Can't wait to get started! Thanks for sharing ❤
Please keep me posted on how you like them...

Claudia Glows -- What a beautiful voice you have. I also think your skin is lovely. I can't imagine how you have the time to use so many different products. Could you do a video about your schedule to incorporate all these different products?
Thank you for your lovely comment
I actually just uploaded a video today on my routine. I hope it will be helpful ❤️
Hi Claudia, thank you for all your great videos. You have a gorgeous flawless very healthy looking skin. I try my best to keep my skin healthy and glowy. My favorite products are the Skinceuticals Retinol 1.0 and the Skin Better Science Alpharet overnight. I've been using the Skinceutical retinol for the past 15 years once a week and the Alpharet for the past 4 weeks daily. The Alpharet is more gentle so I can use it every night. I clean my skin with Bioderma Sensibio water followed by Numbuzin Toner 3 and then apply Cerave PM moisturizer day and night. I use Elta MD clear spf 46 sunscreen daily for the past 15 years. When I go out I use the Haru Haru Wonder sunscreen that makes my skin more matte not so shiny like the Elta MD sunscreen. This is my simple skincare routine that works for me to achieve a healthy glowing skin. Never done any peels or lasers. I never layer more than 3 products. Less is more to avoid irritation and dryness. Thank you for your time to share all your beauty secrets! 🙂
❤️❤️❤️
Compared to these ingredients, where on the list would you put microneedling, or other procedures such as laser? I am having high hopes for microneedling.
I would put micorneedling up there with tretionoin. Lasers are on a whole other level, but of course it depends on the kind of laser. Ablative being the most aggressive, yielding the most results, all the way to clear and brilliant being more gentle with more subtle results
x
@@claudiaglows Thank you :)
@@claudiaglows I heard someone say microneedling exceeded the tretinoin effects by far so I am curious to see. For me tret is great, but more so I guess in preventing than in reversing much anything.
Hi Claudia, so good to hear your back in the States. I started out with Curology and after one yr I switched to Agency for the anti-aging benefits. My skin stayed so so very irritated. They had me back off for awhile, and still had severe irritation. I also was Rx’d Hydroquinone. But, when stopped using the Hydroquinone and used just their Tret., my face still stayed irritated. Hi, I’m Karla 62, and was with them for 2-1/2 yrs. I started using TT, then Medic8 Crystalized Retinaldhyde. I decided I wanted to try Rx Tret and I order mine from ReliableRX and my skin is loving it. Thank you so much for your time
Hi Karla, I am sorry to hear that you skin got so irritated from Agency, but glad you found something that works well for you. Thank you for sharing and for being here

Very informative! Your skin looks great and shows you know how to take care of yourself: excellent in natural daylight. I see you've moved due to a background change.
I've been experimenting with Adapalene 0.1% and after 2 minutes, applying a small amount of Hydromol Ointment, which is an occlusive like Vaseline. When mixed with water it goes milky, then gently rub it on the face and the front of the neck, but is still irritating if done often on the back of the neck as it's covered up with a t-shirt and bedding when sleeping. It can be itchy, but reduced if using the occlusive (slugging). If the fresh air can get to it, it won't irritate. So, keeping the cool air at night visible on the front of the neck can help. When awake, my face isn't red from the Adapalene but pale instead as a result. Also, it's not greasy from the product. It's like making a product that's worth $100 if sold by a dermatologist but is a 2 step process as it takes longer to do, but would be more effective than mixing it together. If you plan when to do this, it won't be too inconvenient. x
Hi Kevin, it’s always great to hear from you, and hear what sort of experiments you are trying. Thanks for your very kind words.
xx
@@claudiaglows You've made some big improvements with your skin shown by the comparison photos, so you're now gaining confidence over time instead of losing it. Yes, my experiment is a success and easy to do and with only using a small amount of occlusive mixed with water; the next day, the skin is dryer than expected without the grease or redness from the converted retinoic acid. No moisture loss as it's locked in and hydrated. xx

Wow the skin transformation! Today i went to the sauna so it is definitely a good thing!
I love Sonos, and yes, that’s definitely a good thing. Thank you for being here, and for your kind words.
Hi Claudia! Yes, sometimes it is difficult to pinpoint what is working when using multiple products. I use basically what you do. I am a teacher, so I would spend all my summers in the sun and then off season, I would go to tanning beds. My husband told me my chest looked like the bottom of a burnt frying pan. So I finally put a stop to it. I also had plenty of damage on my face and neck as well. But like you said, applying sunscreen and using an umbrella at the beach has really helped my skin to repair itself. Funny thing, just yesterday I contacted MyAlloy to cancel my subscription for estriol M8 cream. Now I am regretting it. I will read the scientific info and will probably change my mind 😊 Something that I think has made an enormous difference in my skin is facial massage. I follow a UA-camr named Aysel. I do it twice a week. It has made a difference in my lip and forehead lines as well as the overall firmness of my skin. I have read that warming up facial muscles beforehand can intensify the benefits of microcurrent. You are a natural beauty, so you look great in any light. I thought you were going to say that love has made the biggest difference in your skin. Take care and continue enjoying your time with hubby. Sorry for going on and on, but this is my favorite subject! 🥰
Hi Deb, it is great to hear from you, as always. I can understand you canceling your subscription, as it is hard to tell if the cream does anything. I am going to stick with it a while longer and am keeping my fingers crossed ;)
Thank you for recommending the face massage channel, I will def. check it out. Lots of love to you

I would love to see a video about the foods you eat that decrease inflammation. Also, can you suggest any cook books or books that you highly recommend regarding nutrition. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge & wisdom about skin care 🙏🪷

Claudia you look gorgeous! I use agency for tretinoin and dark spot formula. I am up to 0.02% and so happy with the results. I may go up in strength but may plateau or go back down. I don’t use every night. Just 2 or 3 times per week. My skin likes this frequency. I also have the dark spot formula but still have some hyperpigmentation. I may try a TCA peel to see if that improves my spots. Hope this helps. Cheers!
Hi Jane, thank you for your lovely comment. And thank you for sharing your experience with the agency products. I think I’m definitely going to give them a try.

Great information Claudia. Your skin looks healthy and youthful 😊
Thank you so much, Susan ❤️
You may like to try the Reviv serums for growth factors and peptides. Penn Smith got me onto them - I live in the UK but get them posted to me, they are truly fantastic and I have seen a big difference in my skin since using them. I use the Ultimate serum which is newly formulated to include exosomes and the TelomErase. They are a fantastic company and always respond quickly when I have a question and explain the reasons for using which product really well. Also using their day retinol. Take a look, they are superb and like you I am a skin junky!! I had some filler done yesterday and the doctor doing it commented on how good my skin is - I'm 62, also completely agree with SPF and retinol! Great videos, thank you so much.
Hi Rebecca, glad to hear you’re liking their products. I love their lash serum, it is amazing. I might have to try some of the other products.
x
I love how genuine and honest you are. And you look amazing, better now than at 49, you turned back the clock 😊.
I was looking at non invasive procedures to lift up my mid face and I came accross Emface. Have you heard of it? ❤
Thank you for your lovely comment ❤️
I have heard of Emface, but honestly do not know enough about it. However, I will try to do a bit if research on it

Claudia, you look amazing!! Thank you for your honesty; it's so much appreciated!! So true that skincare is pointless if you aren't living a healthy lifestyle. I think your skincare choices look very similar to mine. It's nice to see someone else who has come to the same conclusions as me!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for your lovely and thoughtful comment Kris!

Any botox and/or fillers too? That’s not a criticism, just a question. You have lovely eyes, face shape, and I can see your skin is very well looked after 😉 I agree with you on sunscreen, retinols, etc. I’m late 50’s and been doing those for the last couple of years, and vitamin c, glycolic acid, nicotinamide serum, AHA’s etc. All made such a difference to the condition of my skin.
Hi, yes. I have had bio stimulators, which I have made several videos on. And I also do botox in my forehead
Thank you for your kind words

Wonderful video as usual! You’re so gorgeous and sweet! Love all of your explanations and your honesty. Lighting plays a HUGE part in how we look . Ever notice how many people take selfies in the car ? Perfect lighting! My best selfies are in the car . I have pics from the same day where I look older in my bathroom pic and younger in my car pic. I need to change my bathroom lighting cuz it makes me feel so old 🤣. I love Altreno too ! I can FINALLY use tretinoin because of it ! So much less irritating and drying than others . It’s due to Altreno being micro encapsulated and of course the formula/vehicle is lovely. Where do you get your estriol cream ? I’m considering adding that to my routine . I had laser a couple of weeks ago and I’m ready to get back to my Altreno . I’m going to try a buffered TCA peel or regular TCA ( since buffered are so expensive 😰) . Your skin is so youthful and glowing ! I’m so impressed and I love that we can truly trust what you say ! Have you ever had or done meso therapy? I’m considering trying that soon as well. My skin is so sensitive that I’ll probably try it on my stomach first to see if I get a reaction. Big hugs and love ❤️ 🤗❤️🤗❤️🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I agree, bath room lighting can be horrible.
Yes, I have done meso therapy. I actually did it myself. I can not tell you that I noticed a huge difference, but I probably need to do it more regularly to be able to tell
Lots of love to you
xx
You’re so welcome ! I speak the truth 🥰. Thank you for your sweet reply and the love back ❤. That’s awesome you did meso yourself. That’s my plan too . I have the products waiting for me when I’m ready. I’ll probably microneedle them first and work up to meso . I think it does need to be done regularly . We shall see if I’m consistent 🤣Thank you for the honesty. I always come to you when I want to know the truth ❤.
please keep us posted. And thank you again for your very kind words. I am really happy you are here

I have used agency and it has been so great for me. I had spent almost two years trying to adapt to using the 0.1% adapalene and was still unable to use it on my neck and only about every other day on my face. When I started using agency, they started me on 0.009% tretinoin and I was able to use it on both my neck and face easily and every two months they increased it just a tiny bit. It was extremely easy to adapt to this way, much easier than just using the adapalene less days a week and/or diluted or sandwiched between moisturizers and occlusives. Now about a year later, I’m at 0.1% tretinoin on my face and neck without any trouble. I really recommend it!
Hi Chrissy, that is great to hear! Thank you for sharing your experience with the products. I am def. going to give them a try

Hi Claudia, I use Agency’s and it is going well for me. I love my prescription for tretinoin. I been using the agency brand for a year and they are very helpful with my skin care journey. Your skin looks great 😊

I love your honest approach. Im 50 yrs. lighting is crucial when doing shoots. Im inspired by you and what you say give me inspiration. I dont use EGF serums, because it can trigger dys-functional skin lesions to grow, as well as peptides. pre-cacerous lesions.
I use retionids. the best for me retinaldehydes.. then in daytime vitamin C. So now its just vitamin c, spf 50 every day a chemical screen such as Evy, it covers 99% protection against UVA/UVB. Then a tinted sunscreen. With extra uva shield. and in the night Geeek and Gorgeous. Sometime i blend Tretinoin 0.05% with cetaphil. Every night. THANK YOU !!!!
Hi Robert, thank you for your lovely comment and for sharing your routine! I love the Evy spf, it is so good.
Wishing you a wonderful rest of your week

Agree with all the glowing comments. You are lovely and generous and knowledgeable and honest. A rare combination indeed. And your skin is #goals for sure 😊I've been using Retin-A for about 30 years and whenever I've stopped, my skin just doesn't look the same. Rough texture returns, uneven tone develops, fine lines start forming. You mentioned Agency for tretinoin. I've been using their formula and have been happy with it. As an FYI... I used 0.1% for YEARs but had to cut the strength A LOT when I started using Agency's version of Retin-A. The formula they prescribed me also contains 5% azelaic acid, 4% niacinimide, and 5% tranexamic acid - for hyperpigmentation - and those ingredients combined with a 0.05% tretinoin strength, was too strong for my skin. So, I'm using 0.02% daily which my skin easily tolerates and will work my way back up to 0.05% if it's not irritating. I too was a sun worshiper - grew up in Florida before sunscreens were a "thing" - so Retin-A really does help keep my skin healthy. And yessss to healthy food videos! ❤
Thank you for your very lovely comment as well as for sharing your experience with Agency.
My skin is not to wild about some of those ingredients, like azelaic acid and niacin, so I can see how the combination with tretinoin would be super strong
xx
This was one of the best skincare videos I've ever seen. Thank you. I would love to know the brand of estrogen cream you use. My face is pretty good but the skin on my hands is so thin, they are just hideous. Any skin thickening products you can recommend would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment and for being here. The estrogen I use is by MyAlloy.. I will link the site along with a code in the info box (sorry I forgot to do so earlier). You could try putting a bit of estrogen along with glycolic acid on your hands to help thicken the skin. Some also like to micro needle their hands...
xx
Let us know if you have any questions about our M4 Estriol Face Cream, we're happy to help answer! ☺
Thankyou!! I have used agency for about 6 months. I like how easy it is- I started getting very dry patches so sent a message and they switched one of the ingredients in my formula. It’s very easy and I feel like my skin is brighter and better!

Hi Claudia! 😊❤ I love how honest you are throughout each and every video and this one is no exception. Yes lighting can perfect the skin, but when you have beautiful skin and a youthful look to begin with (like you😊) it is even more gorgeous! Not all lighting - you look 35 to me! 💜
I wanted to tell you that I’ve been using Curology for my retin-A for the past nine years… They’ve since switched to Agency, but Curology has the three ingredients and still works for me for my anti-aging. (And it’s cheaper) The tretinoin is .14% and I love it, and highly recommended! Thanks for another great video. Hope all is well with you!🥰

@@maryannkastorff9680 hello! The way I understand it. ..the company started as Curology when I first joined and was targeted toward more acne based cures than anti-aging.

That I believe the difference in the price also agency has dark spot formula as well.

Hi Claudia, How do you incorporate the Estriol into your routine? I just started using the brand "Musely" their "Age Repair Cream" which contains the same 0.3% Estriol. I also use the "Anti-Aging Cream" which is their tretinoin at night. I'm using the Estriol cream in the morning after my Vitamin C serum. I've also tried it at night after the tretinoin. Not sure what works best. I'm also not sure the Estriol is doing much, seems to make my skin drier. I've been on tretinoin for 15 yrs. (I'm 57} I've been trying to scale down my products but there's too much out there. It's hard! Also, I did try Agency awhile ago and my skin did not like their tretinoin, too many ingredients with it and also maybe wasn't compatible with other actives I was using. I really like the "Musely" brand. It's the same online compounded formulas Mine has the tret, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid. Love your videos, thank you for making them!

I think I've written about this in a comment before, but the product that gives me the most bang for my buck is an antioxidant serum by Herbal Face Food. For my mid 40s normal to dry skin it has been toe to toe with Vitamin A in noticeable results. Particularly, skin brightness, clarity and bounce. They've gotten pretty pricey over time as well as some of the wording on their website getting a bit corny (kind of Bader-influenced I think), but I have been using the serums every day for two and a half years now and will never be without. I always have level one and either level two or three on hand - rotate as to go milder after exfoliation, etc.
I use those pads from Skinbetter as well, alongside AlphaRet (love both), and use BR P50 a few times a week still, and last month introduced Azelaic acid which has really surprised me in such a pleasant way. Helping with redness. I started with Naturium's.

I am a chemist and love skin care..so you know I'm going to be all into the ingredients haha. I find it interesting you put glycolic acid near the top of your list and vitamin C near the end. I didn't personally have the best results previously with glycolic. I found it aggressive and read retinoids are more effective but I have some...perhaps something I will add to my once a week list.
I did find your comments about nutrition and skin true though and have noticed it on others as well.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment and for your thoughts on some of these ingredients
Personally I have not seen the same results rug vitamin c as with AHA’s, but it just shows you, we are all different

Claudia, to treat the loss of elasticity and other things, you might consider hormone replacement therapy with pallets. I’m 61 and only started the pellet therapy this year and wish I had started it at 55 because you can’t regain a lot of that elasticity once it’s gone.
Hi, I have actually been on HRT since I was 38. I think my problem is all the sun abuse
Glad to hear you are doing well on pellets

Love your videos, Claudia. Your skin looks beautiful. I have used Agency and Curology but had to stop. My skin didn't do well on it. I developed patches of dry skin. Didn't want to deal with it.
Thank you for your lovely comment Marine . I’m sorry to hear that. The agency products did not work well for you. Do you have some favorite products now?

@@claudiaglows I used Timeless Vitamin C along with coenzyme Q10, Lactic Acid 10% some serums and moist.,
I need to give that one a try, I know it is a popular one

So transparent.. I love it!! ❤️ right straight from the heart and forward.. I can tell you I have tried it all and I feel these things i applied help skin texture but overall there is no big beauty secret unless it's botox. With that being said you shine on everything you speak of is soo true..
Hi Jennifer, thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful comment❤️
You look amazing. For large pores ive found microneedling to help. For broken capillaries IPL is great.
Thank you so much Heather!
I am a big fan of both, micro needling, as well as IPL and I’m glad to hear you’ve seen good results with both as well

Hi Claudia! Your honesty is so wonderful! Your skin looks beautiful! I would like to start using a retinol based product. The Trentioin that you get, is that available on Amazon or in stores? Or is it a prescription? Thank you! ❤
Hi Robin, thank you for your lovely comment. No unfortunately what I use is prescription
Retinoid acid is usually prescription only. But you can get retinol or retinal over-the-counter, and there are some really great formulations at this point
