I used to watch beauty (make up) channels a whole lot- I find myself tuning in to your more frequently. It's just been so wonderfully educational and makes me want to take better care of my skin.
If your skin gets "flaky" around your eyes, it is "usually" a sure sign you are experiencing an allergy related to the product you are using around your eyes. So stop the product you are using for a while (long while). It is not because your skin is just dry. To make it better, I found that putting a "light" refreshing eye cream, hypo allergenic, will help. Good advice is to consult with your pharmacist, they can advise you. If it persists and there is a little bit of swelling too, a tiny bit of cortisone cream (yes, just a tiny bit) applied (0,1%) where it is dry and swollen will speed up the healing. But then, if you are allergic to cortisone, do not use that of course. Best is to consult a pharmacist or dermatologist or doctor.
This is so informative! I had an allergic reaction to a Charlotte tilbury under eye cream, woke up with swollen under eyes which lasted 3 days. The skin under my eyes then went on to get very sore, red and flaky for around a week.... 0.1 cortisone cream once a day really sped up the healing process however the darkness of my under-eyes has gone back to square one since the allergic reaction :(
I was in the last few minutes from leaving a business meeting and I got a notification on my phone telling me you just uploaded a new video, I was like this is the best thing to do after a long meeting its time to get new informations to pamper my skin ❤️ I truly love all your uploads and always find them very informative and beneficial
+spongebobtanu I hope you find something you love! Yes, sometimes it is necessary and sometimes not. Personally, I'm more into the serums and oils at the moment!
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO MENTIONED MILIA!!! I've had milia on my lower eyelids and my cheekbones ever since i was a baby and as i got older and more into makeup and skincare ive developed even more : (( I've had many of them extracted every now and then, but somehow they keep coming back, even in CLUMPS. i wish i was able to pinpoint what exactly it was that started it to begin with, but ive been using a tretinoin gel (0.05%) from my dermatologist and all that ive seen happen is my skin get incredibly red, dry, and flaky. she said that's supposed to happen, and that eventually i should be able to pick or scratch the milia beads out but honestly it can hurt so much that i have to take weeks or months off of using the gel to help me skin heal up. is there anything i could do rather than applying this gel or should i just tough it out until i see better results?
I have them too!! They are so annoying and extremely hard to get rid of. Crazy how no one really ever mentions milia. I’ve had them ever since i was in middle school. 😭
You're hands down the best when it comes to reviewing skincare products! I've never seen anyone went this deep to talk about such products thats not too boring but very informative! So happy i found your channel! 💖
@Gothamista Is there a video of anything you've had done by a specialist on your skin? You have the most healthy eyes of any adult I've ever seen. I can tell you live a very clean life. Your videos, years from now, show how clear your skin is and without makeup on. It proves how healthily your skin matures. I'd love you to dig into more of that. It's so interesting to watch and see.
Warm olive, sweet almond, avocado.... Pick a good oil. 1/3 cup of the oil, 2 heaping spoonful of fresh coffee grounds. Stir in grounds into warm/hot oil. Let sit for 3-4 days ( stir ). Strain out grounds add a GOOD tsp vit E oil, 2 tbsp glycerin and 2 tbsp castor oil. Stir and massage into under eye . You can rinse of after 15-30 min or just keep on if the coffee smell bothers you. This amount will last you forever and products can be found at Walmart and cheap to make. MAKE SURE YOU ADD THE VIT E TO ROOM TEMP OIL OR YOU WILL DESTROY THE BENIFITS. This can be stored in bathroom or wherever. No preservative needed. For added benifit add some rosehip oil .
@@CorenaGaroutte Thank you for taking the time to add this. I love the idea of home made alternatives. This is something I am definitely going to try. xx
Chrissy Moss you are very welcome. If you have questions on anything else vist my channel and just ask on any of my videos down in the comments. I've been a cosmetologist for about 30 years and I've been a product formulator for over five years. I can make and formulate just about anything. If you have something you want me to make with a video I can do that for you also.
I just found you and am so grateful!!! You are the BEST skincare guru on UA-cam - SERIOUSLY!!! I feel like you should be paid for all these gold nuggets you are giving us!!!
I have been using rosehip oil for about a year, but notice the first little bit of creasing under the eye on the left (the sun must be affecting thar side when I drive). I am going to be giving a more moisturizing and skin treating formula a try, on the off chance it can halt or reverse this. CeraVe is the easiest for me to obtain, so I will give it a try. I am getting some prescription sunglasses too. 😉
Renee, I really enjoy your skincare videos. Every time I have a question about this topic I search between your videos and find that specific information or opinion i was looking for. I have also become a skincare addict and my skin is really grateful about it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Oh my! I was just testing Kiehl's creamy eye treatment and this video made me realize that this causes milia! I've been testing this for a while, and little white bumps appeared under my eyes. I didn't know what this was, but I was concerned. So be careful with Kiehl's!
Hi Renee- I discovered your channel yesterday by chance. Just wanted to say thank you for putting such great information out! I'm 49 years old and take good care of my skin, but I'm usually overwhelmed by all the different things out there, and you'll make it a lot easier for me to chose a product going forward. Those of us with oily, aging skin find it a bit challenging at times. Thank you again, great channel :)
Hi 👋. I'm a new subscriber. This is so informative. I have been using the Dr. Gross eye serum for a while and I love it. I've recently been curious about Asian skincare. My good friend is from Japan. She's in her mid-40s and looks like she's in her late 20s/early 30s. She doesn't have a structured skincare regimen but attributes her skin health to genetics, sunscreen, diet and exercise. I'm 38 years old and my skin is in good balance. I've been into skincare for the last few years but I've been buying very high end products to maintain my results. It's refreshing to have someone review/demo quality, affordable products. I'm so appreciative of your channel. I will definitely be trying some of your Asian skincare recommendations this year.
That Japanese sunscreen though! Yes, I've converted from being a high end skincare user and so grateful there are products that really work for me! Keep me posted with your findings!
OMG! You just solved a mystery. I recently discovered some "whiteheads" under my eye area and couldn't figure out what they were. I started using a new eye cream 6 months ago from Dermologica, and I'm guessing that is the culprit! UGH.
I just love your videos! Lately it hit me how unhappy my skin seems to be, dull, a bit too oily, a lot of redness. So I decided to renew my whole skincare regimen. Since yesterday, I've been going through all of your videos, taking notes, making a list of what to try out for my customized new routine. Thanks for the inspiration and knowledge!
Wooww. Honestly this is the best video I've ever seen in UA-cam that speaks about eye cream so clearly and so specific. I definitely will keep watching all ur videos to know more knowledge about skin care! It's so helpful and so much information that could get easily ❤️❤️❤️❤️ u deserve a medal 🥇 certainly
I discovered your channel yesterday and it's quickly becoming a favorite! your content is extremely informative, helpful and pleasant to watch! thank you for the great work!
Renee! where have you been all these time! I was searching for a insightful knowledgable guru that knows product really well and knows what she talks about. I finally did... thank you!!
Renee- I just love you! I've watched this video twice because it was just so detailed and thorough. I've purchased a few products you've recommended thus far, and I have not been let down once! Thank you for putting out such high-quality videos and being so enjoyable to watch! I'm a faithful fan.
Best video ever! I never knew what those bumps around my eyes were. I only have a few but I hate them and they never go away! Also this is such a great video because most kbeauty videos are more for younger girls in their late teens and early twenties. Nearly 28 and raised in America where they teach skin frying instead of skincare, this video is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!
Hahah! This cracked me up because it's been exactly my experience! Having dry skin and looking for products were NOT easy! Everything either burned, fried or mattified!
The great benefit of Caffiene is that it has Chlorogenic acid, which helps will removing platelet aggregation, which ideally helps with blood circulation and reduces the puffiness
Lovely Renee, if I do the Drunk Elephant Shaba serum and Bobbi Brown Hydrating Cream in the morning and then Dr Dennis Gross eye serum at night, do you feel that's a bit much? IE: A bit of a double up with both Drunk Elephant AND Dennis Gross? Or they offer different benefits? I have just discovered your channel and I am binge watching every video!!! You are wonderful and such a pleasure to watch! 🙌🏼😍
This has to be the most informative and useful tips/advice video I have ever came across since i'm new getting into korean skincare routine. You deserve more followers :) I'm so glad I discovered your channel !
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Ferulic Acid and Retinol Triple Correction Eye Serum is one that I've wanted to try for a long time now. I'm currently using only the products from the Ordinary line just to see how well the products do for me. So far, it's not great but there are changes in my skin that show a positive result. I figure if I use a little stronger (better formulated) product, I'll see better results. I completely value the information you provide and thank you for doing that for your subscribers. It's a wealth of information to have.
I always enjoy your videos! Your passion for skin care is very impressive and I always learn something new. I've been needing some eye cream and I'm glad I watched this!
hi renee! do youhave any idea how do I get rid of my milia around my eyes? thanks to your video here, I only knew it now what causes my Milia around my eyes. I hope i can get rid of it as soon as possible. thanks for the tips! i love your videos! it gives me so many ideas about skin care. 👍💖
Anne Yu Same here.. I thought it was genetical or something like birthmark that I just should not get rid of. Now I see some hope haha.. Pleassssee do a video how to care abou these ㅠㅠ
Thank you Renee, great video, as usual :) I was just thinking I needed eye cream/serums products. And I think you are one of the few women on UA-cam that looks even better without make up...never be scared to do close-ups, you look perfect!
Thank you so much. It always amazes me when people expect ALL of their problems to go away with an eye product. I just want my undergoes moisturized and ready for my concealer.
Can you recommend an eye cream for sunken skin under the eyes? Most people have puffy eyes but mine is very thin and sunken in. Maybe something that will promote nutrients and rebuild whatever I'm lacking and will help fill in the sunken areas to even it out?
Hi Renee!! I've been having trouble finding eye creams that do not cause milia. It would be awesome if you could do a video on some options and possibly how to get rid of milia.
All western eye cream gave me milia, dry eyes and itchiness. I have yet to try Korean eye creams. Wish me luck! Love your videos and you’re so flawless. 💕💕💕
Renee I so enjoy your reviews. I have started to buy Korean skincare and it does so much for my skin. Please continue to update on Korean skin care I so appreciate these too!
I wanted to know what you thought about the Body Shop products? I'm 17 with olive-oily acne prone skin and looking for appropriate products for me and my age
Hi Renee, subscribed to you two days ago and am already so happy to have found your channel. Your videos are so informative and beautifully genuine. Keep going! Love from Vienna
Wow! I am very impressed with your knowledge of each product. Thank you so much for making this video. You have done a lot of the hard work for me. The products you recommend seem to be all around useful for most skin types. I look forward to more of your videos!
So refreshing to watch videos from someone with so much knowledge giving me the information I need to make an informed decision for my purchases. Subbed! And thank you!
+Gothamista do you have/would you do a Korean skincare and make up starter kit. I know recommendations are personal but just as someone getting into k-beauty where would be a good start. Love your videos
You have no idea how excited I was seeing your video on my feed - I clicked on it right away! Lol. This was so informative and helpful. Thank you!! x Davie
Do you have a video on the different types of dark circles under the eye? I recently developed them for the first time in my life and would love to better understand the different kinds (causes) of dark circles and which products actually help! Thanks so much! I love your videos, they're incredibly helpful and well-informed!
Just discovered you. I'm so glad you don't mind Guiney-pigging all that stuff and let us benefit. One question...if one is already using a moisturizing eye serum why do we need to top it with a multi-ingredient eye-moisturizer? Once that skin has been saturated what good will a multi-ingredient moisturizer do? I would tend to think just additional moisture that the serum may not fulfil would seal and protect the serum and epidermal layer, no? I am beginning to experience very fine line around my own eyes now and loss of elasticity. I am very much wanting to address the issues as efficiently as I may...enter YOU (giggle) who is helping me sort through an enormity of products. If you have any additional ideas or notions floating about in your thoughts, I'd love to hear it. Thank you again for your laborious efforts.
Just joined your channel as a senior 72 year old have problems around nose and chin dryness make up settling in. Been using rose hip, vitamin b serum and suggested sweet almond oil. Also Little Piet loves IASO BB cream? My only concern is that many of retirees can't spend the cost of a lot of these products, when I worked and young I loved Shesido, can you do something cost friendly.
The Hada Labo hyaluronic lotion she mentions on a the moisturizers video is very hydrating and super reasonable considering how well it works. It can be obtained online for about $12-15 USD online. I hope this helps.
Hello!! Excited to have your channel. All the skin care you are recommending are for women perhaps you can do a video for men also. I am sure many Korean men use skin care, I would like to purchase some to encourage my husband to start taking care of his skin. Thanks
Loving the depth and clarity you go into talking about these products. This is a 4th video I've watched since last night after coming across your channel. On that note I would love to know whether you have a science (chemistry? Pharmacy?) background...? ;)
I love these videos of yours. I really hope you'll try out and review more Drunk Elephant products, especially the c-firma day serum, the SPF 30 moisturizer and the glycolic night serum.
Not trying to offend here but Ive noticed a lot of people who talk about beauty products claim a lot of things but I am never sure if anyone has even read the studies conducted on these products or understand the claims. It's apparent whatever you've been doing works for you since you have great skin, but I am just realizing a lot of people are just reiterating the info from the companies? I enjoyed your video and will give the products a try just for the hell of it .
I dont trust in any cream, and less if they are more expensive, I would only give ve a chance to the roll on which may work due the physical touch, I got brown spots in my face long time ago, my dermatologist think that it was probably a photo reaction cause by a sunscreen, which was recommended by a doctor.
Hi My Skincare Guru, I have been waiting for your video and miss you,You made my day, just want to let you know I really love The Belif Aqua Bomb and the eye cream and I was so happy to see you mentioned about DrDeniss Gross retinol eye cream because I use that too, I bought the eye sun protection from Dr Murad but it irritates my eyes,Going to try the Shishedo , do u know they have come out with the new sunscreen for the face, if you can't get it there ,I can send it to you, really learn a lot from you as I really have dry sensitive skin. If you have anything to recommend me,Please let me know. I don't really understand this Aha N Bha to remove dead skin,Is there any product that have both you let me know. , Great to see you Renee and God Bless You, if anytime you want to visit Malaysia, you can stay with me, a little mini resort. Much love,Bee 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💗🙏🏻⛅️
you are really professional!!!I am using the la Roche posay retinol eye cream , it really does amazing job. Really looking forward to watching more skincare videos from you , especially some France drugstore cosmetics, which is easier for me to buy.
Your video is always so impressive and helpful. Finding a good eye cream for me is the hardest thing in the world as my eyes are so dry and sensitive/picky. I am quite happy if an eye cream can keep them comfortably for the day more than getting good results. I have tried so many brands in the past and so far one of the eye cream brand that can really keep my eyes comfortable is Algenist.
+Edmond Lam Thank you so much Edmond! That's pretty much all I expect too, definitely not to see drastic changes overnight like a lot of creams claim to do. I love the algenist products so much yet somehow have never gotten around to their eye creams. Thank you for the suggestion!
Tried Philosophy Anti-Wrinkle Miracle Worker, and I feel like it didn't do anything at all. I thought it would be great because this line has been raved, and it has retinoid, but it was useless. I find more success with Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Eye cream. I always wake up feeling so fresh around the eyes.
Dry eye area here! Currently using Sulwhasoo cream/dry oil at night, Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate during day...it does plump and smoothes the area nicely for concealer (the dimethicone?). Ugh, Lifestyle...if only there was a serum for that. Looking extra glowy, beautiful!! ✨🙌🏻
Thank you soooooo much for another great round-up of products! I have always dealt with milia and it's terrible. Lol I think I do want to try the Ferulic and Retinol Eye Serum. As for dark undereyes, vitamin C serum have always been amazing. Like the Ole Henriksen Youth Activating Oil and the Peter Thomas Roth Camu Camu Brightening Serum. I use the Camu Camu Moisturizer on and off and it works well for my acne spots and red scarring.
+Sasha GB You're welcome! Yes, I had one huge pimple sized millia which took 4 months to get the hell off my face. You may be able to get away with just using the serum without anything else and that could help with the milia situation!
I am so very impressed with your presentation and the products that you have shown us you really have gone above and beyond to show us really great products and I can't wait to purchase them and use them for my eye area thank you so much for taking the time to share
After Etude's Moistfull Collagen eye cream gave me milia problems, I switched to Curél(a Japanese brand)'s Moisture Eye Zone Essence and I love it! It's a gel-type essence that's not creamy at all, but keeps the eye area so hydrated (I can literally feel the moisture still remaining in the morning). :)
+Cherise I used it for about a month before I realized I had developed milia around my eye area! If it hasn't been giving you any problems, then perhaps your skin likes it better than mine did :)
I love this video! It's so informative and you listed out an awesome list of eye creams to look into. Thank you so much for making videos! You're like my to go skincare guru because your videos are so detailed and useful!!!
So I am in the market for a good eye cream. I noticed that there is Cetyl Alcohol and Cetearyl Alcohol in the CeraVe Anti-Aging Eye Repair Cream. I have been told before to never purchase a product that has alcohol in it because it is damaging to the skin. Are these types of alcohol okay for your skin because I see them in a lot of products?
I'm so so so happy I stumbled upon your channel last night! I'm currently binge watching all your videos before work haha! I'm slowly transitioning into Korean skin care which will be quite easy because I live in KTown in LA and also I have your videos to aid me on my Korean skincare journey! Thank you Gothamista! xx Beau
Glad I found your channel, I'm learning a lot! All my siblings have pretty oily eyes which has made most eye makeup a pain. I'm my mother's clone, but she's had to get her eyelids surgically lifted (she vision field was drastically reduced before she agreed to it) so I'm trying to see what I can do to delay that and take good care of my skin. Once I have the money I'd love to try the drunk elephant, and see if the sunscreen works for me. Thank you for a wonderfully entertaining and informative channel!
Love this video! I've recently been taking my anti-aging eye care more seriously, as well. A lady's gotta keep her eyes smooth! I suffer from pretty dark under eye circles (some of which is genetic and some from poor sleeping choices...I'm a night owl) but I've been using a Korean eye essence that I really love. It's the Whamisa Organic Flowers Eye Essence. So light, absorbs really smoothly, and actually does seem to be brightening up my circles. 😄
I know people need to make money off youtube when it becomes their job, but i do really appreciate non-sponsored videos, gives us your true favourites and opinions. :)
I agree with you renee on the shiseido benefiance however I use the serum cream version it's in a gold cylindrical pump I just find its less heavy great for the day also but here I believe it sells over 100 dollars Australian. For everyday hydration I'm liking the roadshop korean brands that do a collagen type it's inexpensive. I have also enjoyed a brand called mirenesse they do a stem cell eye serum. I know sephora have started stocking mirenesse however I'm not sure if you can get it in the US it's an Australian brand. i love retinol but i am rather sensitive to it. History of whoo is goegeous but i got some millea as it is very heavy. Sulwhasoo is fantastic as you said really want to try belif!!... thanks for your vid! you look gorgeous as always xx
I just finished an eye cream with retinol from Dr. Dennis Gross, I didn't really notice the difference and I didn't like that it had silicone. I think that skin care items should be less silicony In the morning I use Skin Owl's Eye+ which has beautiful cucumber smell and is supposed to help with puffiness, I don't mind it, I like slightlycooling sensation, however, sometimes it burns (doesn't make any sense burning sensation fron cucumber). And now at nights I use Skyn Iceland eye cream (not a stick), don't know much about, but it has nice slightlywhipped texture and no scent. I really enjoy your videos, new sub here!
+Aristaifly Hi there! I liked the skyn iceland eye cream, was a nice moisturizing texture. Been a while since I used it. I think that the Dr. Dennis Gross eye serum is much more effective and better than the eye cream. Also, anything that causes the skin around your eyes to burn is NOT good!
Your. Skin. Is. PHENOMONAL!!!
Thank you so much haha!
She looks like a K-Drama star. ;-)
MashAllah
You deserve sooo much more attention - you are always so well informed!

I heard, it's to do with diet mainly, apparently it can be a reaction to dairy products and high in saturated fats foods.
A friend of mine had them and changed her diet stopped dairy intake and they disappeared
I have them too!! They are so annoying and extremely hard to get rid of. Crazy how no one really ever mentions milia. I’ve had them ever since i was in middle school. 😭

*Looks at eye cream price
Me: um....I think we have some cucumbers in the fridge...
Jonathan Purse Mizon eye creams are great, with excellent ingredients and really affordable: 10 dollars or less sometimes.
Warm olive, sweet almond, avocado.... Pick a good oil. 1/3 cup of the oil, 2 heaping spoonful of fresh coffee grounds. Stir in grounds into warm/hot oil. Let sit for 3-4 days ( stir ). Strain out grounds add a GOOD tsp vit E oil, 2 tbsp glycerin and 2 tbsp castor oil. Stir and massage into under eye . You can rinse of after 15-30 min or just keep on if the coffee smell bothers you.

You are the BEST skincare guru on UA-cam - SERIOUSLY!!!
I feel like you should be paid for all these gold nuggets you are giving us!!!
I too often use oils to add any needed extra hydration around my eyes but have really been enjoying Paula's Choice's Eye Cream also!
Do you mind saying how old you are? You seem very intelligent and mature yet so youthful.
Plot twist, this woman is actually 110 years old.
Just kidding, but for real your skin is flawless!
I have been using rosehip oil for about a year, but notice the first little bit of creasing under the eye on the left (the sun must be affecting thar side when I drive). I am going to be giving a more moisturizing and skin treating formula a try, on the off chance it can halt or reverse this. CeraVe is the easiest for me to obtain, so I will give it a try. I am getting some prescription sunglasses too. 😉
Cerave is good, it is also very lightweight. Try it out and see if you might need something a little more hydrating.
I will. A few ears ago I used some Strivectin (sp?) and got milia that took *forever* to clear, so hopefully CeraVe isn't too heavy.
Carol Smith hi how did you get rid of that milia?
Studio 35 Alpha Hydrox cream from Walgreens, daily to chemically exfoliate my face. My plastic surgeon suggested it. He does my chemical peels.
Carol Smith which one ?
I’ve been using Esthederm Intensive Hyaluronic eye serum for a couple of months for the dark hollows under eye and have seen a noticeable improvement.
Renee, I am interested to see your next one on "exfoliation".
Renee, I really enjoy your skincare videos. Every time I have a question about this topic I search between your videos and find that specific information or opinion i was looking for.

Oh my! I was just testing Kiehl's creamy eye treatment and this video made me realize that this causes milia! I've been testing this for a while, and little white bumps appeared under my eyes. I didn't know what this was, but I was concerned. So be careful with Kiehl's!
Wow I was seriously thinking that I needed to find a good eye cream and here you are. Always coming thriugh! Haha 🙏

+gleee86 Love it when that happens!

can I use the sunscreen lotion that I usually apply on my face at the eyes area ?
I love you for being honest and telling it like it is! Keep up the amazing work, Gothamista ❤️

Hi 👋. I'm a new subscriber. This is so informative. I have been using the Dr. Gross eye serum for a while and I love it. I've recently been curious about Asian skincare. My good friend is from Japan. She's in her mid-40s and looks like she's in her late 20s/early 30s. She doesn't have a structured skincare regimen but attributes her skin health to genetics, sunscreen, diet and exercise. I'm 38 years old and my skin is in good balance. I've been into skincare for the last few years but I've been buying very high end products to maintain my results. It's refreshing to have someone review/demo quality, affordable products. I'm so appreciative of your channel. I will definitely be trying some of your Asian skincare recommendations this year.
That Japanese sunscreen though! Yes, I've converted from being a high end skincare user and so grateful there are products that really work for me! Keep me posted with your findings!
OMG! You just solved a mystery. I recently discovered some "whiteheads" under my eye area and couldn't figure out what they were. I started using a new eye cream 6 months ago from Dermologica, and I'm guessing that is the culprit! UGH.
Ugh indeed! Those things are annoying!
Hands down, the best skin care channel. Knowledge and eloquency. Amazing! Congratulations!
I just love your videos! Lately it hit me how unhappy my skin seems to be, dull, a bit too oily, a lot of redness. So I decided to renew my whole skincare regimen. Since yesterday, I've been going through all of your videos, taking notes, making a list of what to try out for my customized new routine. Thanks for the inspiration and knowledge!
I like Vintner's Daughter Oil serum for my face and I use argan oil for underneath my eyes. Green beauty is the way for my face
Wooww. Honestly this is the best video I've ever seen in UA-cam that speaks about eye cream so clearly and so specific. I definitely will keep watching all ur videos to know more knowledge about skin care! It's so helpful and so much information that could get easily ❤️❤️❤️❤️ u deserve a medal 🥇 certainly
A good concealer... keeping it real... love it... I would add, sleep to that as well!
Absolutely! The most important!
I discovered your channel yesterday and it's quickly becoming a favorite! your content is extremely informative, helpful and pleasant to watch! thank you for the great work!
+annyvilla Thank you so much! This means so much to me!
Renee! where have you been all these time! I was searching for a insightful knowledgable guru that knows product really well and knows what she talks about. I finally did... thank you!!
Aww thank you so much!!
Renee- I just love you! I've watched this video twice because it was just so detailed and thorough. I've purchased a few products you've recommended thus far, and I have not been let down once! Thank you for putting out such high-quality videos and being so enjoyable to watch! I'm a faithful fan.
Aww Marnie, you've made me so happy, thank you!!!
Best video ever! I never knew what those bumps around my eyes were. I only have a few but I hate them and they never go away! Also this is such a great video because most kbeauty videos are more for younger girls in their late teens and early twenties. Nearly 28 and raised in America where they teach skin frying instead of skincare, this video is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!
Hahah! This cracked me up because it's been exactly my experience! Having dry skin and looking for products were NOT easy! Everything either burned, fried or mattified!
The great benefit of Caffiene is that it has Chlorogenic acid, which helps will removing platelet aggregation, which ideally helps with blood circulation and reduces the puffiness
Lovely Renee, if I do the Drunk Elephant Shaba serum and Bobbi Brown Hydrating Cream in the morning and then Dr Dennis Gross eye serum at night, do you feel that's a bit much? IE: A bit of a double up with both Drunk Elephant AND Dennis Gross? Or they offer different benefits?
I have just discovered your channel and I am binge watching every video!!! You are wonderful and such a pleasure to watch! 🙌🏼😍
This has to be the most informative and useful tips/advice video I have ever came across since i'm new getting into korean skincare routine. You deserve more followers :)
I'm so glad I discovered your channel !
Hi and thank you so much for that! I am also SO glad you've found me :)
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Ferulic Acid and Retinol Triple Correction Eye Serum is one that I've wanted to try for a long time now. I'm currently using only the products from the Ordinary line just to see how well the products do for me. So far, it's not great but there are changes in my skin that show a positive result. I figure if I use a little stronger (better formulated) product, I'll see better results. I completely value the information you provide and thank you for doing that for your subscribers. It's a wealth of information to have.
I always enjoy your videos! Your passion for skin care is very impressive and I always learn something new. I've been needing some eye cream and I'm glad I watched this!
hi renee! do youhave any idea how do I get rid of my milia around my eyes? thanks to your video here, I only knew it now what causes my Milia around my eyes. I hope i can get rid of it as soon as possible. thanks for the tips! i love your videos! it gives me so many ideas about skin care. 👍💖
Anne Yu : I'm about to ask the same question coz
I just found this video.
Had milia around my eyes area too 😪😔
Anne Yu Same here.. I thought it was genetical or something like birthmark that I just should not get rid of. Now I see some hope haha.. Pleassssee do a video how to care abou these ㅠㅠ
Anne Yu I used bha based product and it works well for me
Same here :( I hope she does a video about this soon!
Anne Yu hi. Do you have any hair hydration and growth reviews
Thank you Renee, great video, as usual :) I was just thinking I needed eye cream/serums products. And I think you are one of the few women on UA-cam that looks even better without make up...never be scared to do close-ups, you look perfect!
+Graita B. Aww thank you Hun! Big hugs!!!
I use Shiseido's Future Solution LX Eye and Lip Contour Regenerating Cream, just started, but is not my Holly Grall at the moment.
Thank you so much. It always amazes me when people expect ALL of their problems to go away with an eye product. I just want my undergoes moisturized and ready for my concealer.
Yes!
You are the best cosmetic mediator I have experienced - Thank you so much
Can you recommend an eye cream for sunken skin under the eyes? Most people have puffy eyes but mine is very thin and sunken in. Maybe something that will promote nutrients and rebuild whatever I'm lacking and will help fill in the sunken areas to even it out?
Deborah Levy I have the same problem
I hope she answer us
i hope she answers
Shaley Khan i forgot to put s in answers.. thanks for the correction though
MARIA WANJIRU i wasn't correcting u dear... it was more like a sigh of hope. so i kind of repeated... :)
Hi Renee!! I've been having trouble finding eye creams that do not cause milia. It would be awesome if you could do a video on some options and possibly how to get rid of milia.
All western eye cream gave me milia, dry eyes and itchiness. I have yet to try Korean eye creams. Wish me luck! Love your videos and you’re so flawless. 💕💕💕
I LOVE Drunk Elephant, amazing brand ! Oils are also a big hit for me, i love mixing them to create a synergy and obtain max properties
Renee I so enjoy your reviews. I have started to buy Korean skincare and it does so much for my skin. Please continue to update on Korean skin care I so appreciate these too!
I wanted to know what you thought about the Body Shop products? I'm 17 with olive-oily acne prone skin and looking for appropriate products for me and my age
Hi Renee, subscribed to you two days ago and am already so happy to have found your channel. Your videos are so informative and beautifully genuine. Keep going! Love from Vienna
Thank you so much!!
Wow! I am very impressed with your knowledge of each product. Thank you so much for making this video. You have done a lot of the hard work for me. The products you recommend seem to be all around useful for most skin types. I look forward to more of your videos!
Thank you so much!
So refreshing to watch videos from someone with so much knowledge giving me the information I need to make an informed decision for my purchases. Subbed! And thank you!
Thank you so much Kimberley! I love that you want tools to make your own informed decision. Product recs are great but soooo personal!
+Gothamista do you have/would you do a Korean skincare and make up starter kit. I know recommendations are personal but just as someone getting into k-beauty where would be a good start. Love your videos
You have no idea how excited I was seeing your video on my feed - I clicked on it right away! Lol. This was so informative and helpful. Thank you!! x Davie
+chtitmog Thank you so much!! :)
The Innisfree Green Tea Seed Eye Cream is pretty great for just moisture around the eyes!
I love your videos. There is nothing like them! Keep them coming I'm learning so much from you.
+Christina Kelly Thank you so much Christina!
Do you have a video on the different types of dark circles under the eye? I recently developed them for the first time in my life and would love to better understand the different kinds (causes) of dark circles and which products actually help! Thanks so much! I love your videos, they're incredibly helpful and well-informed!
Just discovered you. I'm so glad you don't mind Guiney-pigging all that stuff and let us benefit. One question...if one is already using a moisturizing eye serum why do we need to top it with a multi-ingredient eye-moisturizer? Once that skin has been saturated what good will a multi-ingredient moisturizer do? I would tend to think just additional moisture that the serum may not fulfil would seal and protect the serum and epidermal layer, no? I am beginning to experience very fine line around my own eyes now and loss of elasticity. I am very much wanting to address the issues as efficiently as I may...enter YOU (giggle) who is helping me sort through an enormity of products. If you have any additional ideas or notions floating about in your thoughts, I'd love to hear it. Thank you again for your laborious efforts.
Just joined your channel as a senior 72 year old have problems around nose and chin dryness make up settling in. Been using rose hip, vitamin b serum and suggested sweet almond oil. Also Little Piet loves IASO BB cream? My only concern is that many of retirees can't spend the cost of a lot of these products, when I worked and young I loved Shesido, can you do something cost friendly.
The Hada Labo hyaluronic lotion she mentions on a the moisturizers video is very hydrating and super reasonable considering how well it works. It can be obtained online for about $12-15 USD online. I hope this helps.
Hello!! Excited to have your channel. All the skin care you are recommending are for women perhaps you can do a video for men also. I am sure many Korean men use skin care, I would like to purchase some to encourage my husband to start taking care of his skin. Thanks
Loving the depth and clarity you go into talking about these products. This is a 4th video I've watched since last night after coming across your channel. On that note I would love to know whether you have a science (chemistry? Pharmacy?) background...? ;)
My new fave skincare youtuber, so informative and thorough, love it!
I love these videos of yours. I really hope you'll try out and review more Drunk Elephant products, especially the c-firma day serum, the SPF 30 moisturizer and the glycolic night serum.
+axreason Hi hun! If you have seen my instagram, you will know I am trying it all!
I like how truthful you are
I would love if you did an updated eye care video! Your videos are great
I will only use the cruelty-free products. Thankful that you have quite a few listed.
Not trying to offend here but Ive noticed a lot of people who talk about beauty products claim a lot of things but I am never sure if anyone has even read the studies conducted on these products or understand the claims. It's apparent whatever you've been doing works for you since you have great skin, but I am just realizing a lot of people are just reiterating the info from the companies? I enjoyed your video and will give the products a try just for the hell of it .
I dont trust in any cream, and less if they are more expensive, I would only give ve a chance to the roll on which may work due the physical touch, I got brown spots in my face long time ago, my dermatologist think that it was probably a photo reaction cause by a sunscreen, which was recommended by a doctor.
Also everyone takes information in differently, some prefer to read blogs ect others take information in better by listening/watching x
Hi My Skincare Guru, I have been waiting for your video and miss you,You made my day, just want to let you know I really love The Belif Aqua Bomb and the eye cream and I was so happy to see you mentioned about DrDeniss Gross retinol eye cream because I use that too, I bought the eye sun protection from Dr Murad but it irritates my eyes,Going to try the Shishedo , do u know they have come out with the new sunscreen for the face, if you can't get it there ,I can send it to you, really learn a lot from you as I really have dry sensitive skin. If you have anything to recommend me,Please let me know. I don't really understand this Aha N Bha to remove dead skin,Is there any product that have both you let me know. , Great to see you Renee and God Bless You, if anytime you want to visit Malaysia, you can stay with me, a little mini resort. Much love,Bee 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💗🙏🏻⛅️
you are really professional!!!I am using the la Roche posay retinol eye cream , it really does amazing job. Really looking forward to watching more skincare videos from you , especially some France drugstore cosmetics, which is easier for me to buy.
Your video is always so impressive and helpful. Finding a good eye cream for me is the hardest thing in the world as my eyes are so dry and sensitive/picky. I am quite happy if an eye cream can keep them comfortably for the day more than getting good results. I have tried so many brands in the past and so far one of the eye cream brand that can really keep my eyes comfortable is Algenist.
+Edmond Lam Thank you so much Edmond! That's pretty much all I expect too, definitely not to see drastic changes overnight like a lot of creams claim to do. I love the algenist products so much yet somehow have never gotten around to their eye creams. Thank you for the suggestion!
hi can you please do a review on Egyptian magic cream?
Tried Philosophy Anti-Wrinkle Miracle Worker, and I feel like it didn't do anything at all. I thought it would be great because this line has been raved, and it has retinoid, but it was useless. I find more success with Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Eye cream. I always wake up feeling so fresh around the eyes.
Dry eye area here! Currently using Sulwhasoo cream/dry oil at night, Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate during day...it does plump and smoothes the area nicely for concealer (the dimethicone?). Ugh, Lifestyle...if only there was a serum for that. Looking extra glowy, beautiful!! ✨🙌🏻
+Reiko Misumi Schelm A serum for a better lifestyle...cosmetic companies should get on that!
Thank you soooooo much for another great round-up of products! I have always dealt with milia and it's terrible. Lol I think I do want to try the Ferulic and Retinol Eye Serum. As for dark undereyes, vitamin C serum have always been amazing. Like the Ole Henriksen Youth Activating Oil and the Peter Thomas Roth Camu Camu Brightening Serum. I use the Camu Camu Moisturizer on and off and it works well for my acne spots and red scarring.
+Sasha GB You're welcome! Yes, I had one huge pimple sized millia which took 4 months to get the hell off my face. You may be able to get away with just using the serum without anything else and that could help with the milia situation!
I am so very impressed with your presentation and the products that you have shown us you really have gone above and beyond to show us really great products and I can't wait to purchase them and use them for my eye area thank you so much for taking the time to share
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your thoughtful comment!
After Etude's Moistfull Collagen eye cream gave me milia problems, I switched to Curél(a Japanese brand)'s Moisture Eye Zone Essence and I love it! It's a gel-type essence that's not creamy at all, but keeps the eye area so hydrated (I can literally feel the moisture still remaining in the morning). :)
+glissade If you don't mind me asking, for how long did you use the Etude eye cream? I've been using that one lately...
+Cherise I used it for about a month before I realized I had developed milia around my eye area! If it hasn't been giving you any problems, then perhaps your skin likes it better than mine did :)
I love this video! It's so informative and you listed out an awesome list of eye creams to look into. Thank you so much for making videos! You're like my to go skincare guru because your videos are so detailed and useful!!!
+Valentine Satiguss Thank you so much, that means so much to me!
Wow. You've tried almost every eye cream and serum out there in the market! Very helpful and informative! Good job!! 😊👌
I LOVE the Shiseido Benefiance. It is my HG. I use with primer and because my skin is dry, powder eyeshadow is fine over it.
So I am in the market for a good eye cream. I noticed that there is Cetyl Alcohol and Cetearyl Alcohol in the CeraVe Anti-Aging Eye Repair Cream. I have been told before to never purchase a product that has alcohol in it because it is damaging to the skin. Are these types of alcohol okay for your skin because I see them in a lot of products?
They are not the same as alcohol denat or sd alcohol. theyre fine
I'm so so so happy I stumbled upon your channel last night! I'm currently binge watching all your videos before work haha!
I'm slowly transitioning into Korean skin care which will be quite easy because I live in KTown in LA and also I have your videos to aid me on my Korean skincare journey! Thank you Gothamista!
xx Beau
Thank you! KTown is a dangerous place for me to wander!
Do you get regular facials and, if so, how often would you recommend doing so? Any tips for choosing what kind of treatments?
Glad I found your channel, I'm learning a lot! All my siblings have pretty oily eyes which has made most eye makeup a pain. I'm my mother's clone, but she's had to get her eyelids surgically lifted (she vision field was drastically reduced before she agreed to it) so I'm trying to see what I can do to delay that and take good care of my skin. Once I have the money I'd love to try the drunk elephant, and see if the sunscreen works for me.
Thank you for a wonderfully entertaining and informative channel!
Great video! I like the Kiehl's Avocado eye cream. I've also used and like Caudalie's eye creams.
+The Glamorous Nomad Yes! Claudalie has great eye creams!
Another product to try! But so far, nothing beats IDROTHERAPY CREAM! the perfect wrinkle reducer!
Love this video! I've recently been taking my anti-aging eye care more seriously, as well. A lady's gotta keep her eyes smooth! I suffer from pretty dark under eye circles (some of which is genetic and some from poor sleeping choices...I'm a night owl) but I've been using a Korean eye essence that I really love. It's the Whamisa Organic Flowers Eye Essence. So light, absorbs really smoothly, and actually does seem to be brightening up my circles. 😄
+Jillian Shivers Whamisa is all win! Great brand!
I know people need to make money off youtube when it becomes their job, but i do really appreciate non-sponsored videos, gives us your true favourites and opinions. :)
just discovered your channel today and I have had a great time binge watching all afternoon.
Thank you so much!!
PS: The Alpha H eye complex is great at removing milliae , it contains Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract which gently exfoliate the eye area.
Great info, thanks!
I agree with you renee on the shiseido benefiance however I use the serum cream version it's in a gold cylindrical pump I just find its less heavy great for the day also but here I believe it sells over 100 dollars Australian. For everyday hydration I'm liking the roadshop korean brands that do a collagen type it's inexpensive. I have also enjoyed a brand called mirenesse they do a stem cell eye serum. I know sephora have started stocking mirenesse however I'm not sure if you can get it in the US it's an Australian brand. i love retinol but i am rather sensitive to it. History of whoo is goegeous but i got some millea as it is very heavy. Sulwhasoo is fantastic as you said really want to try belif!!... thanks for your vid! you look gorgeous as always xx
+Victoria Keo Thank you, Victoria! Mirenesse is very new to the U.S, I've seen it around but thanks to you, I will take notice now and check it out!
Omg can't believe I just found you ! I love the way you presented this ! Very informative and professional ! Subscribed :) looking forward to more !
Omg. I loved the facial mizon snail cream. I just got the eye serum..
You are my go-to channel for skincare! Thank you!
What lasers would you recommend for the eye area?? (For wrinkles darkness and sagging)
Just found your channel, and I am SO glad I did! Thank you so much for making such clear, concise, informative videos!
+Lindsey Knights Thank you so much and welcome!!
I just finished an eye cream with retinol from Dr. Dennis Gross, I didn't really notice the difference and I didn't like that it had silicone. I think that skin care items should be less silicony In the morning I use Skin Owl's Eye+ which has beautiful cucumber smell and is supposed to help with puffiness, I don't mind it, I like slightlycooling sensation, however, sometimes it burns (doesn't make any sense burning sensation fron cucumber). And now at nights I use Skyn Iceland eye cream (not a stick), don't know much about, but it has nice slightlywhipped texture and no scent.
I really enjoy your videos, new sub here!
+Aristaifly Hi there! I liked the skyn iceland eye cream, was a nice moisturizing texture. Been a while since I used it. I think that the Dr. Dennis Gross eye serum is much more effective and better than the eye cream. Also, anything that causes the skin around your eyes to burn is NOT good!
Belif, Dr Dennis Gross, and Drunk Elephant are cruelty free!
Love watching your videos Renee..I've never heard half the words youre saying but i don't care!!your voice is pleasant to listen to!!
+haveyouseenten Haha! Thank you so much, I'm so flattered! :)
Love the amore line:) I am so glad you are educating in it because I didn't know what you said about it.
