My place I'm living has very harsh and super hot weather so my skin sometimes tend to feel itchy or become more sensitive with all skincare products I'm using. Only 5 things which help my skin recovered is Bioderma cleansing water (too, I agree that Bioderma is holly grail of so much people), Cerave gentle cleanser, Estee Lauder Advanced night repair, Trilogy rosehip oil ( this pure oil is best oil I've ever used, helps my skin calm and spots would be soothed, It's also the master of fading acne dark scars) and Drunk Elephant Sunblock which is physical suncream getting lots of beneficial added ingredients to give more antioxidants, this brand is amazing, you should check it out, I have planed to buy the growing star - C Firma Day serum ( contains CEF formula like your Hollu grail skinceuticals CEF serum but coloring with fermented extracts).
There are many factors in treating rosacea at home. One resource I discovered that succeeds in merging these is the Natural Remedy Blueprint (check it out on google) definately the most useful plan i've heard of. Check out all the incredible information .
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover rosacea creams try Mackorny Facial Miracle Blueprint (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my co-worker got cool results with it.
Thank you for speaking about each product with such cognition! I have being going on a youtube marathon within your channel! Subscribed and ready to absorb your knowledge!
I LOVEEE PHYSIOGEL SO MUCH. The blue cream was literally the only thing that properly took hydration level to a 80 if not 100 and repaired by skin barrier.
Where were you when I had terrible eczema breakouts all over my face and my skin really did crack when I smiled and my eye just closed because the skin was so compromised in couldn't open it without bleeding. These tips could have saved me years of super sucky skin and half my face covered with fringe to cover another breakout. After years I have managed to get a routine down that my skin is finally happy with, but you'd have been a lifesaver 10-20 years ago. Still, I'm glad the knowledge is there now and so many people can benefit from your tips now. Back then no-one had a clue and there wasn't really anything for eczema or extreme dry/sensitive or compromised skin.
Renee, please create a video for those of us who suffer from rosacea...to get an idea how a routine should look like. You are a dream! Thank you for existing
This is one of the reasons why I'm apprehensive on layering skin care products. I don't want my skin to get burned or whatever. I'm scared that it might not recover. That's just scary. Good thing that the products you used did help in soothing and healing your skin.
I was forced out in the sun for hours today with only two applications of sunscreen (long story, our kitten ran off and we spent all day hunting for him). When we finally found him and got home, my cheeks were flaming red and hot. I 7-skinned with your DIY face mist and followed it with Hyaluronic Acid and Rosehip Oil, now my skin feels almost normal again! Thank you so much for that recipe, I use it as a toner along with an alcohol, paraben, and fragrance free Asda toner, and as a mist during the day. Wonderful!
I can relate SO well with the symptoms you mentioned, especially with "the dry rough leathery skin texture" that comes after I've exfoliates too much!! Thank you so much for sharing. I will be more careful..
Renee, do you have any suggestion about facial and lip care for people with ezcema? I would love to understand about ingredients to look at and what to avoid, hope you can maybe do an explanation video if it is not too much of a trouble!
Hi. Can you do a vid or comment specifically to those of us with rosacea? Your videos are extremely informative, easy to listen to & understand. Thank you for all I've learned from your videos.
Thank you so much for this! I've been having the same skin issue for the past few months and i'm not exactly sure why because i've had oily skin all my life, but i've narrowed it down to hormones as it usually seems to happen before my period together with other period symptoms. I can't even wash my face with ONLY water without my skin feeling tight, dry, burning and red. I've been slapping on aloe vera gel as moisturiser and a face mask to soothe my skin as it's what i have on hand. I'll definitely look into some hyaluronic acid skincare stuff to boost the hydration levels of my skin.
You truly are adorable, I think we all made, or did something crazy with our face, but I'm glad you have healed. I really like the way you talk about skin & skin products, your videos are very informative.
I was searching UA-cam about solutions for over exfoliated skin and I came upon your vid. I applied a cream (rejuvinates, brightens, and peels my skin without irritation) that I have been using for so long ever since I lived in Asia. When I came to the US my skin changed. Everytime I use the cream it irritated my skin to the point of burning. But I kept using it because my skin was feeling rough and needed some exfoliation. However, the last time I used the cream my skin really turned red, feels like my face was going to break when I eat, smile, etc. Same as you mentioned. It left red, rough patches on the most sensitive part of my cheeks, around the nose and mouth. I stopped using the cream and have been using Ceravi, jojoba oil but to no avail. Then I saw your vid. Thank God! I purchased Physiogel and Hadalabo in Amazon right away. I used it last night and I already feel the difference. The patches are not red any more and have minimal roughness just using them overnight. Thank you for sharing this video. ❤
Thank you so much for this video! I used a product to help with hormonal acne and my entire face became inflamed - red, rashy and tender. I found your protocol and my skin started healing within one day! This was also my introduction to Korean beauty products, so after binge watching your videos, I've changed to all K beauty and at 56 years old, my skin is looking better than when I was in my 30s! New subscriber and devotee. Thanks, again!
Simran A I ordered it from Yes Style, but it was back ordered and I still haven't received it. I was able to calm down and clear up my skin using the other products mentioned. Fell in LOVE with the Hada Lobo! The PhysioGel and Egyptian Magic were also great. I didn't make her DIY spray, though.
Thank God for you and this video!!!! I pushed the limits. I'm irritated. So I searched and found this. Glad it was you bc I trust your instruction and info.
Omg... This happened to me with benzoyl peroxide. The recovery steps that you described was exact. I had those dark, rough, thickening of the skin too that i thought were burn marks/dead skin, and extreme redness. Took about 2-3 weeks for me to heal. The BP works on me but it comes with really harsh side effects too.
Hi Renee! I am so grateful to have seen this video. I follow you regularly but this particular video came as a life saver today. I have been experiencing a pretty significant skin reaction, I normally do not have sensitive skin ay all. At first I thought is was just seasonal allergies, but was getting no relief from over the counter meds. The area around my eyes and neck were becoming more and more raw and irritated, I remembered that I had started to try the ordinary eye serum with caffeine, This caused the skin around my eyes to get very dry and flaky but no redness so I tried the Drunk Elephants merula oil, I kept putting more and more thinking it would help the chaffed skin, It only got worse and thats when the itchy, red swelling started. I have been experiencing these symptoms for about 4 days now, I have stripped down my regimen to the bare minimum in hopes of not provoking my skin to get worse. Your video has really given me some great tips and products to try. Like you said my goal now is to heal and repair. I also wanted to ask you if you thought rosehip oil is good to help at this time? Thank you so much!!
Renee!! You are absolutely amazing. Whenever I have skin troubles or skincare inspiration I watch your videos and they are honestly the most thoughtful and well articulated skincare videos on UA-cam. You are passionate but never over the top or sensationalist. You clearly do your research. I wonder, are you a dermatologist or specialist in skincare? Or are you a communications expert? I wouldn't be surprised at either because you are so articulate on the topic of skincare. Xx
what a timely video! I fell asleep with a clay mask on the other night, and didn't wake up for hours. my already-dry skin felt totally sunburnt, and I have been relying mostly on propolis and tears this week. I know you've mentioned this throughout other videos, but I was wondering if you were planning to do a specific video on actives and wait times? the internet seems to be so conflicted on this issue, and I really respect that your perspective is a bit more sophisticated than many of the other voices on reddit. Thank you!
+Alisha Chan Hi Alisha! I'm cringing at the idea of falling asleep with a clay mask on! I, myself, discovered that tears sting the most! I'm so flattered that you trust my opinion. In my videos, I tend to put very little stress on things that I don't find that important. I'm not super legalistic about certain things but I can definitely address my thoughts on this issue in a video soon or blog post. As you know, it can be complicated.
+Gothamista Thanks for replying! And yes, I've learned my lesson about attempting to do skincare while intoxicated...I've only been putting real effort into my routine in the last couple of months, and your channel and reddit have been my main sources of information. It's nice to hear a perspective that isn't so rigid like some of the ones on r/asianbeauty (any alcohol is bad, don't buy products in jars, anything with fragrance in it is evil, etc.). I'm still so impressionable as a newbie that I really appreciate hearing that wait times for actives may not be as big a deal as some people think. Excited to see the future of your channel! :D
Your video is so helpful. Do you know you help many people with skin problem by your videos. For me your skin looks better on each video. You are pretty. Thanks for informative videos. I love your videos:)
Thank you for this. I am 68 and have had very sensitive cheeks for many many years. Even exercising would give me very flushed cheeks which would turn to being sensitive. Nowadays I never try more than 1 new skincare item at a time so I can tell if it is causing sensitivity. I used to try a whole new system and then if I broke out I couldn't tell which of the items it was.
Thank you for this video. I'm off to buy the Bioderma Matricium right now. I suffer from severe eczema which has finally cleared from my body but is hanging on to my face and eye area stubbornly. I've had some success using plain natural ingredients like homemade oil mixes as moisturizers, but even pure aloe vera gives me hives which progresses to eczema. Since cautiously starting a Korean beauty routine (with much help from you) I am seeing improvements in my skin's strength and quicker rebound from flares. When I have a severe reaction (which follows the same progression you described in this video), I cleanse multiple times a day using Cetaphil cleanser, apply a homemade rooibos tea extract to soothe and reduce itching, inflammation, swelling and weeping, and then moisturize with CeraVe. I would also guiltily apply Aquaphor, but since you mentioned that you do too, I've ditched the guilt and embraced petroleum as a necessary occlusive in my individualized skincare routine. Since learning about k-beauty, I have added 3 layers of CosRx Galactomyces toner and 2 layers of Snail 96 Power Essence to that regime, with noticeable results. Thank you for your professional manner, the thorough research you put into your videos, and all the work you do in this area. It's about more than beauty.
Physiogel is a lifesaver. I recently acquired really dry and sensitive skin which is very prone to those horrible redness flares you described followed by the swelling (like orange peel skin), itching, pain, and when the swelling subsides, the desquamation begins. I was re-applying Physiogel almost hourly because of my dry and hot working place. Thanks for the video, it is comforting to know that I am not alone in this battle!
This video is a life saver!My skin became hyper sensitive in recent couple of years.I have tried almost every famous product of Pharmacy or drugstore brands in France or US. And this boiderma product is such a great new discovery for me!I have to try that!At the same time I really wanna share some of my HG products when i was extremely bad irritation.HABA squalane face oil.Lierac Prescription crème confort.Sisley restorative facial cream.And the korean brand The Whoo has a very good line named HwaHyun is very good for stable skin condition.I'm very thankful for your videos,I hope I could offer some good suggestion for you as well!
+RachMakeupGal J Hi! Thank you for your suggestions, this is so helpful! I will definitely check these out. I've been interested in the Squalane face oil. I try to stay away from Sisley though because all their 'sensitive' skincare products are so heavily fragranced it makes me gaggy. Does the restorative one have as strong a scent?
Thank you Rene... I am not even up to using Retin A yet. Trying to work up to it with Retinol 0.05, and oh, my, last week, I put it on two nights in a row and dragged it down my neck and across my chest... A day later, red like a serious sunburn across my collar bone and up my neck and super dry irritated patches on my face... I had to run some errands that day and tried to hide the damage with clothing, and when I got home, nothing helped. Everything stung and burned, and I finally just held a cold wet washcloth on it for about 5 hours. When I had to cook dinner I looked in the bathroom cabinet and saw my big tube of Aquafor and a nice layer of that helped the irritation a lot. The next day it was calm enough for some hyuralonic acid. I am up to 4 days a week of retinol. But I will not put it on my neck or chest again. I need something much gentler for those areas. It's gonna take forever to get up to Retin A 0.05. .1 is years away for me.
You're so calm and comfortable to listen to! I really like your videos a lot! If you ever get damage to your body tho, I recommend Avene After Sun lotion! it repaired more than sunburnt skin!
Gothamista I've just stumbled on your channel and am LOVING what I'm hearing. I'm absolutely going to learn more from you. I suppose I should look into finding a good esthetician. Dermatologists don't really suit me. I have one quick question about this video. Right now I'm in the middle of a dermatological wildfire because of a BIG oops! I'm looking into the products you have listed, but I wanted to find out what you recommend for cleansing when one's skin is severely inflamed. Do you do the same water rinse in the morning and dual cleanse in the evening? Or do you have another method for times of skin triage?
I have been there. I have extremely dry skin and I used an acid peel from Ole Henricksen a bit too long. I was screaming for moisturizers in any form. I wish I had seen this. Oh and thanks for the DIY mist spray recipe. Love love love it. I carry it everywhere! Big love from Canada!
+twistedsoda pop Hi Love! I'm so happy you love the mist recipe. It was a literal skin-saver for me! I'm amazed and confused at how impossible it is to find a mist without alcohol!
I love this! I am currently using Retin-a and you mentioned you used to use it in this video - what do you think of it? Why do you think its not for you right now? If there are better products what do you recommend? My main concern is fine lines - I'm not too sure if they are actually fine lines or not because they appeared after I gained more weight around my face so it could be due to that? Thank you for reading this!
Thank you!!!Just this past week I had an extreme reaction to a facial sheet mask...my skin felt deeply burned and itchy, red, inflamed. Everything skincare item I used made it worse....my sister gave me a cream from LaRoche- Posay,,, Cicaplast Baume B5. ..immediate relief...I'm ordering all your suggestions as well, as I've noticed more sensitivity in my skin these days...
+Patti Bauler Hi! Sorry to hear about your reaction. I've used La-Roche Posay and Avene in the past and they're certainly gentle enough. Physiogel is the best i've tried at calming that beet-redness too!
I adore and enjoy your channel a lot! I recently moved next to the beach and my skin has since then become dry, bumpy, red, irritable, and stings a lot. I took you advice from this video and it has healed A LOT but still a little unstable. I spoke to some friends who grew up next to the ocean and understood that the ocean does that to a person's skin. It's just very hard to adjust for me because my skin has not agreed to any oil for more than 10 years and now the only thing it seems to agree with is oils. Right now if I put on more than 2 products on my skin, it stings very bad, becomes dry and leathery. Do you have any advice for me in the long-run?
wow love this video! I have sensitive skin and easily to get irritated. I find that eucerin anti wrinkle cream (containing Q10), physiogel demo-cleanser and elizabeth Arden ceramide capsules work great on me. Wanna try that bioderma treatment next time(and bioderma soothing mask as well)
My skin goes CRAZY when the seasons change. I don't know why but my face gets all flaky and so dry to the point where I get cuts! (I know) but now I can't wait to pick up the bioderma treatment! Thank you!!
Hi, I’ve subscribe to you because your videos have been helping my dry sensitive skin. However, I have a question, the Asia products are they not available to buy anymore?
Thanks so much for the matricium recommendation, my irritated skin healed in days. What would you use to cleanse your skin for this routine? Are you using aloe vera plant or a gel? Thanks!
I love the Physiogel Daily Moisture Therapy Cream. I've just finished one whole tube (150ml), and it lasted for exactly a year (no waste woohoo~) Minimal ingredients and simply effective and healing withou any irritation whatsoever. Can be used on face and body (however it does contain coconut oil so for those whose skin does not react well to coconut oil, beware)
@@s.rajpoot4722 Yes I had no issue with it at all but it's been a few years since I used it so I'm not sure if they've updated the formula... It was very moisturising and not pore-clogging for me! My skin is naturally not super sensitive though!
I am binge watching your videos 💕💕 you make the best reviews! I was convinced to buy a Hada Labo product 😁 btw, do you feel that the Amore pacific cushions oxidizes its color throughout the day? I'm a shade 21 in bb cushions and hope that 104 will suit my skin color 😖
I used the cosrx bha power liquid and the aha power liquid at the same time once and it was too much for my skin. I woke up with super tight skin that felt uncomfortably tight with dry patches everywhere. My normal moisturizer didn't cut it so I went and bought the gokujyun lotion under your recommendation and it helped A LOT! Thank you! Now I've learned not to use them together lol.
thank you thank you thank you. my face is a mess right now and I had no idea how to fix it. everything I've been trying has been making it worse or stinging like crazy. definitely gonna try these asap
hello gothamista!! ahh...i enjoy your channel a lot. however, i have some concerns i wish you could mention a bit.. As an adolescent growing, oily skin has come up and i do not want to use too many products on my skin); i also don't know what a toner and serum is and how exactly to use certain masks and chemical products without hurting sensitive skin or making it dry.... I'm just quite confused on what to do and seeing someone patient and kind as u, oh i just hope you could give a few tips!!!
I get hormonal breakouts consistently every month in the same zones and they are so painful. I've been looking to recreate my routine to address this and feel like so many resources talk about attacking the breakouts with harsh ingredients, but not enough about the healing process. This is very helpful thank you. Also the bio derma matricum is super hard to find in the UK and the US has it been discontinued? Is there a dupe?
I am addicted to your channel, especially when you talk about skincare. I am a little bit lost and hope you can clarify something for me. Should I use essence before serum or serum before essen?
Hi Rene, just came upon your channel the other day. I love your skin care videos and was wondering if you know if Korean ski case is cruelty free. I have heard that they are going to be but not sure. Any recommendations on skincare products that you love that are cruelty free. Thanks!
+acclimbs Hi and thank you! So I know all brands under the Amore Pacific umbrella is cruelty free which covers a lot of my favourite brands. But also Korea issued a ban on animal testing on all products that will start in 2018.
You're awesome and thank for all the information! Have you ever heard of anyone being allergic to aloe vera because I think I might be? Do you recommend anything else besides aloe Vera for a diy toner?
Just ordered the physioderm gel cream from Olive Young! I love Ur recommendations I too got dry sesitive skin n I’m excited to try n have it in my things to keep my skin in check
finally, im not the one who feel this. recently I've try diff toner for my face then all the things you say happened to me. This video gives me hope. I used cetaphil for my face. but I'll try the one that your using. Thank you so much! :-)
one time I was greedy. used alpha h liquid gold and then followed by c20 vitamin c ( tot I was smart and wanted to eradicate the acne i have so bad!) and my skin burned. luckily I had snail mucin essence and mizon recovery gel cream to save the day. ever since then, I swear by the healing power of snail..
The new Eucerin Micellar cleanser is also very mild and leave the skin fresh and clean. I've been using it for almost a month. I'm now using the Physiogel cream at night and it's so moisturised. It's still too greasy for daytime use in Thailand though. The weather here is super hot.
Please tell us exactly how you used them, for exemple: "In the morning I use bioderma then I wait 2hours and put the moisturizer, then etc...." I've been in this hell of my skin being extremely damaged for now 1year and 2months! It all started by overexfoliating my skin and it made my skin texture very rough and burning feeling; then I saw an esthetician who told me that I needed to exfoliate even more to get my skin back so she did a laser treatment on me. Of course my skin was even worse to the point where I developed eczema all over my face. I started putting a lot of moisturizer for sensitive skin on my face and the eczema went away but I still had the horrible texture and my skin was very oily but dry at the same time. Thats when I started seeing dermatologists to help me and they said I have too much oil production so they gave me very harsh and drying treatments. I told them I dont agree with their diagnostic and that its dehydration that makes my skin produce more oil and he said that hes the professional he knows better. So I did the treatment and of course my skin went crazy, it burned my cheeks and I have scars now because of the treatment that I stopped right away cause I realized that dermatologist are not helping, they are making my skin much worse!! Now that I stopped all treatments my skin is much better but still extremely damaged with scars and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Thats why I would like to know exactly how to use your routine. That would be very helpfull ♥
Same boat with me pretty much...She said her steps in the video, I'm sure that as soon as 1 product dissolves into the skin to move onto the next...pat into skin rather than massage (maybe a very very gentle one will be fine) and if need be, gently wash your face using collidial oats soaked in distilled water then rinse (unless it's 100% organic oats, in that case just pat into skin. Hope you have found some relief💗
Great video! I've done that to myself so many times, it will help so much to have a game plan! I was curious about the Egyptian magic cream, does it have a scent or added fragrance?
Love all the advice here! I want to try but am having difficulty sourcing many of the products in Canada. Any advice from other Canadians on where to order the products?
this video var so helpful! My skin is so irritated and red now with a lot of patches and bumps. If you were to pick only one or maybe 2 of these products that you mentions, which of the two main products would you recommend me to buy? thank u in advance
+AK A Hi! I use the same cleansing products I usually do because they are so gentle. But because I wear no makeup during this time, I only use the oil/balm cleanser.
I can't stop staring at your skin! Your face is glowing so pretty 🙈😍 my engagement ceremony is soon and my skin is acting out so thanks for the tips I have to try some :)
+Kübra Dogan Ah congratulations!! That so-called glow is from ALOT of ointment, it's almost greasy! Try to not stress out during this time, that's the worst for our skin!
I am a recent follower, I love all your videos!!! Do you have any suggestions for underye products that can heal allergy/eczema dryness. My eyes have gone through a very hard time this past year. Due to allergies I now have very leathery under eyes. just wondering if you have any suggestions? Thank you!!!❤️
Thank you very much, needed something like this, the pH levels on my current foam cleansers arent really in the desirable ranges so my skin is currently on that irritated/sore stage - along with minor breakouts which im afraid would multiply so thanks again because I wanted ideas on what i should do to help calm my skin really TvT
Oh no I hope your skin feels better now, your symptoms sound painful! This will be useful reference when my skin feels harsh and peeled off. Do you wear makeup when your skin is damaged? Thanks for sharing!
My skin has just been an acne ridden mess on my forehead. Ugh it's aweful because I have very clear skin regularly except for some small blackheads on my nose. I've been washing and cleansing so well but no change. I also have been using a very nice recovering cream. Tomorrow I'll be embarking on a journey... a face mask I've never tried. Maybe a bad idea, but I neeed a fix soon haha
Thank you so much for your wisdom!! :) Matricium is the best, I'm using it right now, day and night, as recom by my dermatologist. I've watched your AM routines and you don't use a cleanser in the morning (since I also do that, my skin is so much better), but is that ok for the time you use Matricium too? xxx
Hi! Yes, matricium absolutely stunned me. particularly during those super sensitive times when I need and use it, I try to cleanse my skin as little as possible. So definitely I just rinse before matricium in the morning.
hi, You listed an interesting factor as to why you didn't revert to your usual products; ''high water content''. May I ask why that is not good for your skin in this situation? thank you ;)
Oh I'm not sure if my first comment appeared or not because phone shut down while I was typing, but: Thank you so much for doing those videos! This one is particularly helpful! I do have two questions though: which cleanser would you use during that flare up time? And: did you apply those things one after another twice a day? I appreciate your help, big hug from Germany!
+Bellame VLOGS Yes, I applied layered these products! I only had to wear makeup once during this time (only concealer and blush) and I used my cleansing oil and micellar cleansing water for sensitive skin only. Otherwise I just rinsed my face with water. Hope this helps! Big hugs!
+Gothamista may I ask you one more thing? Which balm or oil cleanser would you recommend for irritated skin? And which cleanser in general? I am very impressed that you had a red and irritated rosacea skin and got to calm it down so quickly, so please forgive all the questions :) thank you tons! Big hug, Nat
No problem, I'm here to help and your question is very valid! So I was using the Banila Co clean it zero Purity. Balm cleansers and oil ones tend to be on the gentle side as they don't strip your skin.
OOOOHHH i suffer from retin a too, but so many say its worth it, but it feels awful - can you tell us what you use that you say works better for you? desperate for an alternative that is kinder to my skin! thanks :)
Hi ^-^ I saw your video about oil and this one too (duh), and somehow I ended up buying 6 kinds of oils: Sweet Almond, Baobab, Argan, Camelia, Avocado and Sesame. But my question is, should I mix them all together in a container and use them? Or, should I put them on my face one by one? Oh and I also got the Egyptian Magic Cream because of you too :*
this is perfect. i did the most stupidest thing. I did muac radiance peel and put lotion p50 toner on afterward. my skin has been hypersensitive since then. even things that do not sting before, stings like crazy.
+Oyekade Oh dear, so exactly the same thing happened to both of us! The p50 completely did me in after the peel. Pretty much everything stung the heck out of my face except these products!
Is a yogurt mask harmful in any way? because I got an irritation from accidently using an expired face wash in the shower. I used yogurt and it helped me more than Laroche Posay anti irritation cream. I am stopping my routine for two days and i really want to make sure my face is ready for continuing my Isis pharma glyco A peeling routine. I only use the 10% one just to be on the safe side and I want to make the best out of this quarantine asap. How many days will it take for me to continue using my routine again? my face is less red now just pinkish in some places and not itchy. help?
My skin has been extremely sensitised and reactive for about 5 weeks now. I have red welts in at my laughter lines and my chin and upper lip look as though there's spots but there's not and I keep getting the odd blemish on my red cheeks. I've been using the ordinary alpha arbutin, niacinamide and buffet. They're keeping my skin hydrated but the irritation isn't going anywhere. I've even slathered my face in raw honey! The last time this happened it was the alpha arbutin and buffet I used and that worked a treat. I was going to get some avene products but I'm wondering if the Egyptian magic cream would be the way to go. Any advice Renee? 💖 💖 💖 💖
Folks (including you) love that Hada Labo but I hate that it has parabens. 😞 Do products w/ parabens ever irritate your skin? Also what's the diff b/t the 2 Physiogel products? And lastly, thank you for this video! I totally get that weird thickened bumpy skin texture you mentioned when my skin gets irritated and no one has ever confirmed that it's an allergy/irritation. Sometimes it has happened from me just using 2 (seemingly hydrating or nourishing BUT new) sample products. I have so many samples of high end stuff and from road shops in Korea that I just wanna use them up sometimes and get overzealous! Then I pay for it. 😝 sorry for the long comment and all the q's! Thanks again!
+Patti Kim Hi! Yes, I wanted to do this video so people can recognize the typical symptoms and not freak out which is what I always did! Parabens have never irritated my skin, I'm not sensitive or allergic to them. The quantities in Hada Labo are so minute so even at it's most sensitive, I'm ok.
My place I'm living has very harsh and super hot weather so my skin sometimes tend to feel itchy or become more sensitive with all skincare products I'm using. Only 5 things which help my skin recovered is Bioderma cleansing water (too, I agree that Bioderma is holly grail of so much people), Cerave gentle cleanser, Estee Lauder Advanced night repair, Trilogy rosehip oil ( this pure oil is best oil I've ever used, helps my skin calm and spots would be soothed, It's also the master of fading acne dark scars) and Drunk Elephant Sunblock which is physical suncream getting lots of beneficial added ingredients to give more antioxidants, this brand is amazing, you should check it out, I have planed to buy the growing star - C Firma Day serum ( contains CEF formula like your Hollu grail skinceuticals CEF serum but coloring with fermented extracts).
If I may ask. What is your profession? Your communication skill are ♡GOALS ♡
There are many factors in treating rosacea at home. One resource I discovered that succeeds in merging these is the Natural Remedy Blueprint (check it out on google) definately the most useful plan i've heard of. Check out all the incredible information .
Mimi Orbe . Thanks a lot
Michelle Macco it
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover
rosacea creams
try Mackorny Facial Miracle Blueprint (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my co-worker got cool results with it.
Thank you for speaking about each product with such cognition! I have being going on a youtube marathon within your channel! Subscribed and ready to absorb your knowledge!
+Amanda Nicole Haha! Thank you so much for subscribing! I hope you make some fabulous discoveries.
I LOVEEE PHYSIOGEL SO MUCH. The blue cream was literally the only thing that properly took hydration level to a 80 if not 100 and repaired by skin barrier.
Hi, where did you order your physiogel product? I am reading bad reviews about missing seals and half empty products. Much appreciated!
Where were you when I had terrible eczema breakouts all over my face and my skin really did crack when I smiled and my eye just closed because the skin was so compromised in couldn't open it without bleeding. These tips could have saved me years of super sucky skin and half my face covered with fringe to cover another breakout. After years I have managed to get a routine down that my skin is finally happy with, but you'd have been a lifesaver 10-20 years ago. Still, I'm glad the knowledge is there now and so many people can benefit from your tips now. Back then no-one had a clue and there wasn't really anything for eczema or extreme dry/sensitive or compromised skin.
Renee, please create a video for those of us who suffer from rosacea...to get an idea how a routine should look like. You are a dream! Thank you for existing
This is one of the reasons why I'm apprehensive on layering skin care products. I don't want my skin to get burned or whatever. I'm scared that it might not recover. That's just scary. Good thing that the products you used did help in soothing and healing your skin.
I was forced out in the sun for hours today with only two applications of sunscreen (long story, our kitten ran off and we spent all day hunting for him). When we finally found him and got home, my cheeks were flaming red and hot. I 7-skinned with your DIY face mist and followed it with Hyaluronic Acid and Rosehip Oil, now my skin feels almost normal again! Thank you so much for that recipe, I use it as a toner along with an alcohol, paraben, and fragrance free Asda toner, and as a mist during the day. Wonderful!
I can relate SO well with the symptoms you mentioned, especially with "the dry rough leathery skin texture" that comes after I've exfoliates too much!! Thank you so much for sharing. I will be more careful..
Oh, my, gosh! Your symptoms described mine exactly! I've never stumbled upon a video with such accurate descriptions T_T
Renee, do you have any suggestion about facial and lip care for people with ezcema? I would love to understand about ingredients to look at and what to avoid, hope you can maybe do an explanation video if it is not too much of a trouble!
Hi. Can you do a vid or comment specifically to those of us with rosacea? Your videos are extremely informative, easy to listen to & understand. Thank you for all I've learned from your videos.
Too funny: I click thumb up before i even watch the video:) I know upfront I will like it. Thanks.
+Anna A Thank you :) So sweet!
Same here, lol. Am I biased? Yes! I love this lady and her insight knowledge.
Thank you so much for this! I've been having the same skin issue for the past few months and i'm not exactly sure why because i've had oily skin all my life, but i've narrowed it down to hormones as it usually seems to happen before my period together with other period symptoms. I can't even wash my face with ONLY water without my skin feeling tight, dry, burning and red. I've been slapping on aloe vera gel as moisturiser and a face mask to soothe my skin as it's what i have on hand. I'll definitely look into some hyaluronic acid skincare stuff to boost the hydration levels of my skin.
You truly are adorable, I think we all made, or did something crazy with our face, but I'm glad you have healed. I really like the way you talk about skin & skin products, your videos are very informative.
+Fay Moussabeck Aw thank you so much :)
Your skin is exquisite.
I was searching UA-cam about solutions for over exfoliated skin and I came upon your vid. I applied a cream (rejuvinates, brightens, and peels my skin without irritation) that I have been using for so long ever since I lived in Asia. When I came to the US my skin changed. Everytime I use the cream it irritated my skin to the point of burning. But I kept using it because my skin was feeling rough and needed some exfoliation. However, the last time I used the cream my skin really turned red, feels like my face was going to break when I eat, smile, etc. Same as you mentioned. It left red, rough patches on the most sensitive part of my cheeks, around the nose and mouth. I stopped using the cream and have been using Ceravi, jojoba oil but to no avail. Then I saw your vid. Thank God! I purchased Physiogel and Hadalabo in Amazon right away. I used it last night and I already feel the difference. The patches are not red any more and have minimal roughness just using them overnight. Thank you for sharing this video. ❤
Thank you so much for this video! I used a product to help with hormonal acne and my entire face became inflamed - red, rashy and tender. I found your protocol and my skin started healing within one day! This was also my introduction to Korean beauty products, so after binge watching your videos, I've changed to all K beauty and at 56 years old, my skin is looking better than when I was in my 30s! New subscriber and devotee. Thanks, again!
did you try the Bioderma Matricium?
Simran A I ordered it from Yes Style, but it was back ordered and I still haven't received it. I was able to calm down and clear up my skin using the other products mentioned. Fell in LOVE with the Hada Lobo! The PhysioGel and Egyptian Magic were also great. I didn't make her DIY spray, though.
Thank God for you and this video!!!! I pushed the limits. I'm irritated. So I searched and found this. Glad it was you bc I trust your instruction and info.
Omg... This happened to me with benzoyl peroxide. The recovery steps that you described was exact. I had those dark, rough, thickening of the skin too that i thought were burn marks/dead skin, and extreme redness. Took about 2-3 weeks for me to heal. The BP works on me but it comes with really harsh side effects too.
Any update 😓 how to recover from redness
Hi Renee! I am so grateful to have seen this video. I follow you regularly but this particular video came as a life saver today. I have been experiencing a pretty significant skin reaction, I normally do not have sensitive skin ay all. At first I thought is was just seasonal allergies, but was getting no relief from over the counter meds. The area around my eyes and neck were becoming more and more raw and irritated, I remembered that I had started to try the ordinary eye serum with caffeine, This caused the skin around my eyes to get very dry and flaky but no redness so I tried the Drunk Elephants merula oil, I kept putting more and more thinking it would help the chaffed skin, It only got worse and thats when the itchy, red swelling started. I have been experiencing these symptoms for about 4 days now, I have stripped down my regimen to the bare minimum in hopes of not provoking my skin to get worse. Your video has really given me some great tips and products to try. Like you said my goal now is to heal and repair. I also wanted to ask you if you thought rosehip oil is good to help at this time? Thank you so much!!
You have become my go-to youtube guru for skincare. I love your videos. Thank you for being such a joy to watch.
Thank you for your lovely comment! :)
Renee!! You are absolutely amazing. Whenever I have skin troubles or skincare inspiration I watch your videos and they are honestly the most thoughtful and well articulated skincare videos on UA-cam. You are passionate but never over the top or sensationalist. You clearly do your research. I wonder, are you a dermatologist or specialist in skincare? Or are you a communications expert? I wouldn't be surprised at either because you are so articulate on the topic of skincare. Xx
what a timely video! I fell asleep with a clay mask on the other night, and didn't wake up for hours. my already-dry skin felt totally sunburnt, and I have been relying mostly on propolis and tears this week.
I know you've mentioned this throughout other videos, but I was wondering if you were planning to do a specific video on actives and wait times? the internet seems to be so conflicted on this issue, and I really respect that your perspective is a bit more sophisticated than many of the other voices on reddit. Thank you!
+Alisha Chan Hi Alisha! I'm cringing at the idea of falling asleep with a clay mask on! I, myself, discovered that tears sting the most! I'm so flattered that you trust my opinion. In my videos, I tend to put very little stress on things that I don't find that important. I'm not super legalistic about certain things but I can definitely address my thoughts on this issue in a video soon or blog post. As you know, it can be complicated.
+Gothamista Thanks for replying! And yes, I've learned my lesson about attempting to do skincare while intoxicated...I've only been putting real effort into my routine in the last couple of months, and your channel and reddit have been my main sources of information. It's nice to hear a perspective that isn't so rigid like some of the ones on r/asianbeauty (any alcohol is bad, don't buy products in jars, anything with fragrance in it is evil, etc.). I'm still so impressionable as a newbie that I really appreciate hearing that wait times for actives may not be as big a deal as some people think. Excited to see the future of your channel! :D
Your video is so helpful. Do you know you help many people with skin problem by your videos. For me your skin looks better on each video. You are pretty. Thanks for informative videos. I love your videos:)
Thank you for this. I am 68 and have had very sensitive cheeks for many many years. Even exercising would give me very flushed cheeks which would turn to being sensitive. Nowadays I never try more than 1 new skincare item at a time so I can tell if it is causing sensitivity. I used to try a whole new system and then if I broke out I couldn't tell which of the items it was.
Thank you for this video. I'm off to buy the Bioderma Matricium right now. I suffer from severe eczema which has finally cleared from my body but is hanging on to my face and eye area stubbornly. I've had some success using plain natural ingredients like homemade oil mixes as moisturizers, but even pure aloe vera gives me hives which progresses to eczema. Since cautiously starting a Korean beauty routine (with much help from you) I am seeing improvements in my skin's strength and quicker rebound from flares.
When I have a severe reaction (which follows the same progression you described in this video), I cleanse multiple times a day using Cetaphil cleanser, apply a homemade rooibos tea extract to soothe and reduce itching, inflammation, swelling and weeping, and then moisturize with CeraVe. I would also guiltily apply Aquaphor, but since you mentioned that you do too, I've ditched the guilt and embraced petroleum as a necessary occlusive in my individualized skincare routine. Since learning about k-beauty, I have added 3 layers of CosRx Galactomyces toner and 2 layers of Snail 96 Power Essence to that regime, with noticeable results.
Thank you for your professional manner, the thorough research you put into your videos, and all the work you do in this area. It's about more than beauty.
hey how did the matricoum work out for you? I also found pure aloe vera from the leaf drys my skin out very much. It caused eczema around my eye.
Did it work?
Physiogel is a lifesaver. I recently acquired really dry and sensitive skin which is very prone to those horrible redness flares you described followed by the swelling (like orange peel skin), itching, pain, and when the swelling subsides, the desquamation begins. I was re-applying Physiogel almost hourly because of my dry and hot working place. Thanks for the video, it is comforting to know that I am not alone in this battle!
I am so elated that you include Physiogel!!! My holy grail!
+Rosie K Seriously, it's some amazing stuff!
From the 1st sight I was attracted by your videos! Obviously you are very intelligent, you got your own style. It's a rare thing for beauty-bloggers
This video is a life saver!My skin became hyper sensitive in recent couple of years.I have tried almost every famous product of Pharmacy or drugstore brands in France or US. And this boiderma product is such a great new discovery for me!I have to try that!At the same time I really wanna share some of my HG products when i was extremely bad irritation.HABA squalane face oil.Lierac Prescription crème confort.Sisley restorative facial cream.And the korean brand The Whoo has a very good line named HwaHyun is very good for stable skin condition.I'm very thankful for your videos,I hope I could offer some good suggestion for you as well!
+RachMakeupGal J Hi! Thank you for your suggestions, this is so helpful! I will definitely check these out. I've been interested in the Squalane face oil. I try to stay away from Sisley though because all their 'sensitive' skincare products are so heavily fragranced it makes me gaggy. Does the restorative one have as strong a scent?
+Gothamista Unfortunately it has very strong scent!I'm afraid you have to avoid that.
Thank you Rene... I am not even up to using Retin A yet. Trying to work up to it with Retinol 0.05, and oh, my, last week, I put it on two nights in a row and dragged it down my neck and across my chest... A day later, red like a serious sunburn across my collar bone and up my neck and super dry irritated patches on my face... I had to run some errands that day and tried to hide the damage with clothing, and when I got home, nothing helped. Everything stung and burned, and I finally just held a cold wet washcloth on it for about 5 hours. When I had to cook dinner I looked in the bathroom cabinet and saw my big tube of Aquafor and a nice layer of that helped the irritation a lot. The next day it was calm enough for some hyuralonic acid. I am up to 4 days a week of retinol. But I will not put it on my neck or chest again. I need something much gentler for those areas. It's gonna take forever to get up to Retin A 0.05. .1 is years away for me.
And, you have a great You Tube channel. Even though I am older than you, I enjoy and value your advice very much.
You're so calm and comfortable to listen to! I really like your videos a lot!
If you ever get damage to your body tho, I recommend Avene After Sun lotion! it repaired more than sunburnt skin!
+Therese Andresen Thank you so much! Re body sunburns - Noted!
Accidentally over exfoliated🙁...had to go back and watch this video. SO helpful, thank you for sharing all of your knowledge 🙏🏻😌
Gothamista I've just stumbled on your channel and am LOVING what I'm hearing. I'm absolutely going to learn more from you. I suppose I should look into finding a good esthetician. Dermatologists don't really suit me. I have one quick question about this video. Right now I'm in the middle of a dermatological wildfire because of a BIG oops! I'm looking into the products you have listed, but I wanted to find out what you recommend for cleansing when one's skin is severely inflamed. Do you do the same water rinse in the morning and dual cleanse in the evening? Or do you have another method for times of skin triage?
I have been there. I have extremely dry skin and I used an acid peel from Ole Henricksen a bit too long. I was screaming for moisturizers in any form. I wish I had seen this. Oh and thanks for the DIY mist spray recipe. Love love love it. I carry it everywhere! Big love from Canada!
+twistedsoda pop Hi Love! I'm so happy you love the mist recipe. It was a literal skin-saver for me! I'm amazed and confused at how impossible it is to find a mist without alcohol!
Your channel is my new favourite! ^_^
Aw thank you so much! That makes me happy!
I love this! I am currently using Retin-a and you mentioned you used to use it in this video - what do you think of it? Why do you think its not for you right now? If there are better products what do you recommend? My main concern is fine lines - I'm not too sure if they are actually fine lines or not because they appeared after I gained more weight around my face so it could be due to that? Thank you for reading this!
Thank you!!!Just this past week I had an extreme reaction to a facial sheet mask...my skin felt deeply burned and itchy, red, inflamed. Everything skincare item I used made it worse....my sister gave me a cream from LaRoche- Posay,,, Cicaplast Baume B5. ..immediate relief...I'm ordering all your suggestions as well, as I've noticed more sensitivity in my skin these days...
+Patti Bauler Hi! Sorry to hear about your reaction. I've used La-Roche Posay and Avene in the past and they're certainly gentle enough. Physiogel is the best i've tried at calming that beet-redness too!
I adore and enjoy your channel a lot! I recently moved next to the beach and my skin has since then become dry, bumpy, red, irritable, and stings a lot. I took you advice from this video and it has healed A LOT but still a little unstable. I spoke to some friends who grew up next to the ocean and understood that the ocean does that to a person's skin. It's just very hard to adjust for me because my skin has not agreed to any oil for more than 10 years and now the only thing it seems to agree with is oils. Right now if I put on more than 2 products on my skin, it stings very bad, becomes dry and leathery. Do you have any advice for me in the long-run?
Just ordered the Matricium Bioderma Ampoules from watching your review, can't wait to try it out!
How did you end up liking it?
wow love this video! I have sensitive skin and easily to get irritated. I find that eucerin anti wrinkle cream (containing Q10), physiogel demo-cleanser and elizabeth Arden ceramide capsules work great on me. Wanna try that bioderma treatment next time(and bioderma soothing mask as well)
+kundi wang Thank you! Eucerin is fabulous but I really want to try those ceramide capsules you speak of!
Currently my cheeks are irritated because of citric acid and i will certainly try your 'treatment'.😀thank u so much
My skin goes CRAZY when the seasons change. I don't know why but my face gets all flaky and so dry to the point where I get cuts! (I know) but now I can't wait to pick up the bioderma treatment! Thank you!!
+haveyouseenten Yes, that happens to me during the Spring too. Everything stings like crazy!
Hi, I’ve subscribe to you because your videos have been helping my dry sensitive skin. However, I have a question, the Asia products are they not available to buy anymore?
What were you wearing that day? Your make up looks so natural and glowy!!!
Thanks so much for the matricium recommendation, my irritated skin healed in days. What would you use to cleanse your skin for this routine? Are you using aloe vera plant or a gel? Thanks!
I love the Physiogel Daily Moisture Therapy Cream. I've just finished one whole tube (150ml), and it lasted for exactly a year (no waste woohoo~) Minimal ingredients and simply effective and healing withou any irritation whatsoever. Can be used on face and body (however it does contain coconut oil so for those whose skin does not react well to coconut oil, beware)
Really? It help full for skin senstivity? Without side effects?
@@s.rajpoot4722 Yes I had no issue with it at all but it's been a few years since I used it so I'm not sure if they've updated the formula... It was very moisturising and not pore-clogging for me! My skin is naturally not super sensitive though!
@@lucretialiu ok Dear thanks for rp❤😘😘
I am binge watching your videos 💕💕 you make the best reviews! I was convinced to buy a Hada Labo product 😁 btw, do you feel that the Amore pacific cushions oxidizes its color throughout the day? I'm a shade 21 in bb cushions and hope that 104 will suit my skin color 😖
+slicepizza101 Hi there! I don't feel there's oxidation but then again, I have dry skin. Caution, I use 104 but am 23 in cushions :)
love u & love the fact that all products are natural ! thank you for the effort♡
+ra wan Thank you for watching!
Yay. I found your matricium video. So helpful. This exactly what my skin has been going thru.
I used the cosrx bha power liquid and the aha power liquid at the same time once and it was too much for my skin. I woke up with super tight skin that felt uncomfortably tight with dry patches everywhere. My normal moisturizer didn't cut it so I went and bought the gokujyun lotion under your recommendation and it helped A LOT! Thank you! Now I've learned not to use them together lol.
Ugh, yes, some people have no problem layering the acids but that would burn up my face too!
Thank you for the info on some new products, at least new to me. The HadaLabo is fantastic, I have the bigger bottle. Your skin looks great btw.
+Graita B. Thank you so much! My skin is covered in ointment, I guess the grease is making me glow!
thank you thank you thank you. my face is a mess right now and I had no idea how to fix it. everything I've been trying has been making it worse or stinging like crazy. definitely gonna try these asap
+Mbabyblue1233 Ahh yes, I know that stinging well! I hope this helps!!
hello gothamista!! ahh...i enjoy your channel a lot. however, i have some concerns i wish you could mention a bit.. As an adolescent growing, oily skin has come up and i do not want to use too many products on my skin); i also don't know what a toner and serum is and how exactly to use certain masks and chemical products without hurting sensitive skin or making it dry.... I'm just quite confused on what to do and seeing someone patient and kind as u, oh i just hope you could give a few tips!!!
I get hormonal breakouts consistently every month in the same zones and they are so painful. I've been looking to recreate my routine to address this and feel like so many resources talk about attacking the breakouts with harsh ingredients, but not enough about the healing process. This is very helpful thank you. Also the bio derma matricum is super hard to find in the UK and the US has it been discontinued? Is there a dupe?
I am addicted to your channel, especially when you talk about skincare. I am a little bit lost and hope you can clarify something for me. Should I use essence before serum or serum before essen?
Essence then serum
Hi Rene, just came upon your channel the other day. I love your skin care videos and was wondering if you know if Korean ski case is cruelty free. I have heard that they are going to be but not sure. Any recommendations on skincare products that you love that are cruelty free. Thanks!
+acclimbs Hi and thank you! So I know all brands under the Amore Pacific umbrella is cruelty free which covers a lot of my favourite brands. But also Korea issued a ban on animal testing on all products that will start in 2018.
You're awesome and thank for all the information! Have you ever heard of anyone being allergic to aloe vera because I think I might be? Do you recommend anything else besides aloe Vera for a diy toner?
Just ordered the physioderm gel cream from Olive Young! I love Ur recommendations I too got dry sesitive skin n I’m excited to try n have it in my things to keep my skin in check
Thank you for the insight, I learn so much from you! Never knew of Matricium, so happy to discover all this good products!
Thank you for this video, exactly going through right now with how you explained the irritated skin situation
finally, im not the one who feel this. recently I've try diff toner for my face then all the things you say happened to me. This video gives me hope. I used cetaphil for my face. but I'll try the one that your using. Thank you so much! :-)
Good luck!
one time I was greedy. used alpha h liquid gold and then followed by c20 vitamin c ( tot I was smart and wanted to eradicate the acne i have so bad!) and my skin burned. luckily I had snail mucin essence and mizon recovery gel cream to save the day. ever since then, I swear by the healing power of snail..
+With Ashlyn Ouch! I'm cringing!
Yay! Another infirmative video! Its summer here in philippines and we really need to watch this :)
The new Eucerin Micellar cleanser is also very mild and leave the skin fresh and clean. I've been using it for almost a month. I'm now using the Physiogel cream at night and it's so moisturised. It's still too greasy for daytime use in Thailand though. The weather here is super hot.
+Pattaranaree Swangkit Oh yes, definitely too heavy for humid spring conditions in Thailand!
Please tell us exactly how you used them, for exemple: "In the morning I use bioderma then I wait 2hours and put the moisturizer, then etc...."
I've been in this hell of my skin being extremely damaged for now 1year and 2months!
It all started by overexfoliating my skin and it made my skin texture very rough and burning feeling; then I saw an esthetician who told me that I needed to exfoliate even more to get my skin back so she did a laser treatment on me. Of course my skin was even worse to the point where I developed eczema all over my face.
I started putting a lot of moisturizer for sensitive skin on my face and the eczema went away but I still had the horrible texture and my skin was very oily but dry at the same time.
Thats when I started seeing dermatologists to help me and they said I have too much oil production so they gave me very harsh and drying treatments. I told them I dont agree with their diagnostic and that its dehydration that makes my skin produce more oil and he said that hes the professional he knows better. So I did the treatment and of course my skin went crazy, it burned my cheeks and I have scars now because of the treatment that I stopped right away cause I realized that dermatologist are not helping, they are making my skin much worse!!
Now that I stopped all treatments my skin is much better but still extremely damaged with scars and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Thats why I would like to know exactly how to use your routine. That would be very helpfull ♥
Same boat with me pretty much...She said her steps in the video, I'm sure that as soon as 1 product dissolves into the skin to move onto the next...pat into skin rather than massage (maybe a very very gentle one will be fine) and if need be, gently wash your face using collidial oats soaked in distilled water then rinse (unless it's 100% organic oats, in that case just pat into skin. Hope you have found some relief💗
Great video! I've done that to myself so many times, it will help so much to have a game plan! I was curious about the Egyptian magic cream, does it have a scent or added fragrance?
+Gwendalyn Taggart 6 ingredients only in that pot of wonders! No added fragrance and no strong scent.
+Gothamista great, thanks!👍🏻
Love all the advice here! I want to try but am having difficulty sourcing many of the products in Canada. Any advice from other Canadians on where to order the products?
Love,love,love your videos,can you plz do a video on rosacea skincare?
+hamza Salman Thank you! I will definitely try!
this video var so helpful! My skin is so irritated and red now with a lot of patches and bumps. If you were to pick only one or maybe 2 of these products that you mentions, which of the two main products would you recommend me to buy? thank u in advance
+ninathivu I think the physiogel is great all around for irritated and red skin. Dermatologists recommend it for rosacea.
Hello. Thank you for sharing! What products did you use to cleanse your face?
+AK A Hi! I use the same cleansing products I usually do because they are so gentle. But because I wear no makeup during this time, I only use the oil/balm cleanser.
I can't stop staring at your skin! Your face is glowing so pretty 🙈😍
my engagement ceremony is soon and my skin is acting out so thanks for the tips I have to try some :)
+Kübra Dogan Ah congratulations!! That so-called glow is from ALOT of ointment, it's almost greasy! Try to not stress out during this time, that's the worst for our skin!
Thanks dear :) hahaha no one would guess that it's grease you look wonderful! 😍I'll try to mantain balanced mind 🙏
I am a recent follower, I love all your videos!!! Do you have any suggestions for underye products that can heal allergy/eczema dryness. My eyes have gone through a very hard time this past year. Due to allergies I now have very leathery under eyes. just wondering if you have any suggestions? Thank you!!!❤️
Thank you very much, needed something like this, the pH levels on my current foam cleansers arent really in the desirable ranges so my skin is currently on that irritated/sore stage - along with minor breakouts which im afraid would multiply so thanks again because I wanted ideas on what i should do to help calm my skin really TvT
+Shell Rami I feel your pain. I hope this helps!
Oh no I hope your skin feels better now, your symptoms sound painful! This will be useful reference when my skin feels harsh and peeled off. Do you wear makeup when your skin is damaged? Thanks for sharing!
My skin has just been an acne ridden mess on my forehead. Ugh it's aweful because I have very clear skin regularly except for some small blackheads on my nose. I've been washing and cleansing so well but no change. I also have been using a very nice recovering cream. Tomorrow I'll be embarking on a journey... a face mask I've never tried. Maybe a bad idea, but I neeed a fix soon haha
Thank you so much for your wisdom!! :) Matricium is the best, I'm using it right now, day and night, as recom by my dermatologist. I've watched your AM routines and you don't use a cleanser in the morning (since I also do that, my skin is so much better), but is that ok for the time you use Matricium too?
xxx
Hi! Yes, matricium absolutely stunned me. particularly during those super sensitive times when I need and use it, I try to cleanse my skin as little as possible. So definitely I just rinse before matricium in the morning.
where do you purchase it from? would you recommend it for red irritated skin?
hi, You listed an interesting factor as to why you didn't revert to your usual products; ''high water content''. May I ask why that is not good for your skin in this situation? thank you ;)
My skin is super reactive oily, acne prone so can these products be used on oily skin as well?
May I ask how you cleansed your skin the in the mornings or evenings? What you used that was non irritating and non drying. Thank you
newish to the channel but have to say, love what you're doing :)
+taboman Thank you and welcome to the family!
Great video! Thank you. definitely making a note of the products for when I overdo which I hope I don't do... again.
Oh I'm not sure if my first comment appeared or not because phone shut down while I was typing, but:
Thank you so much for doing those videos! This one is particularly helpful! I do have two questions though: which cleanser would you use during that flare up time? And: did you apply those things one after another twice a day? I appreciate your help, big hug from Germany!
+Bellame VLOGS Yes, I applied layered these products! I only had to wear makeup once during this time (only concealer and blush) and I used my cleansing oil and micellar cleansing water for sensitive skin only. Otherwise I just rinsed my face with water. Hope this helps! Big hugs!
+Gothamista may I ask you one more thing? Which balm or oil cleanser would you recommend for irritated skin? And which cleanser in general? I am very impressed that you had a red and irritated rosacea skin and got to calm it down so quickly, so please forgive all the questions :) thank you tons! Big hug, Nat
No problem, I'm here to help and your question is very valid! So I was using the Banila Co clean it zero Purity. Balm cleansers and oil ones tend to be on the gentle side as they don't strip your skin.
OOOOHHH i suffer from retin a too, but so many say its worth it, but it feels awful - can you tell us what you use that you say works better for you? desperate for an alternative that is kinder to my skin! thanks :)
Do you prefer either of the physiogels to the other when you're having these irritated skin times? Calming relief or daily moisture therapy? or both?
what a great video , i truly appreciate it! , can I use this routine it after dermapen or plasma pen treatment? thanks and good vibes
HI!!! Can you do another one of these vids? Or do you have any more reccomendations for healing irritated skin?
My goal turn to reduce acne to repair my skin barrier and heal my irritation 😭❤
it will be okay
Hi Renee! I'm love my vit C serum n retinoids can I use them both at night together? and which one go first?
Hi ^-^ I saw your video about oil and this one too (duh), and somehow I ended up buying 6 kinds of oils: Sweet Almond, Baobab, Argan, Camelia, Avocado and Sesame. But my question is, should I mix them all together in a container and use them? Or, should I put them on my face one by one? Oh and I also got the Egyptian Magic Cream because of you too :*
+lovingmakpop AMAZING! What a great collection! You could totally mix them up, experiment some and see how you like your concoctions. fun!
this is perfect. i did the most stupidest thing. I did muac radiance peel and put lotion p50 toner on afterward. my skin has been hypersensitive since then. even things that do not sting before, stings like crazy.
+Oyekade Oh dear, so exactly the same thing happened to both of us! The p50 completely did me in after the peel. Pretty much everything stung the heck out of my face except these products!
i really trust your vids when it comes to brands of skin care products that you've used 😍😍
Thank you so much Tiffin!
This review is really helpful ., thank you Renne!!
Thank YOU for watching!
Sounds and looks like a skin routine that works, I will give it a try and share with my Sister! :) Thank you for your help.
Thank you Rebecca!
Is a yogurt mask harmful in any way? because I got an irritation from accidently using an expired face wash in the shower. I used yogurt and it helped me more than Laroche Posay anti irritation cream. I am stopping my routine for two days and i really want to make sure my face is ready for continuing my Isis pharma glyco A peeling routine. I only use the 10% one just to be on the safe side and I want to make the best out of this quarantine asap. How many days will it take for me to continue using my routine again? my face is less red now just pinkish in some places and not itchy. help?
I love watching your video, I always learn a lot from you.
+mignonne ammerlaan I'm so happy to hear that!
My skin has been extremely sensitised and reactive for about 5 weeks now. I have red welts in at my laughter lines and my chin and upper lip look as though there's spots but there's not and I keep getting the odd blemish on my red cheeks. I've been using the ordinary alpha arbutin, niacinamide and buffet. They're keeping my skin hydrated but the irritation isn't going anywhere. I've even slathered my face in raw honey! The last time this happened it was the alpha arbutin and buffet I used and that worked a treat. I was going to get some avene products but I'm wondering if the Egyptian magic cream would be the way to go. Any advice Renee? 💖 💖 💖 💖
Could I use aloe vera with panthanol because having sensitive , reactive acne prone skin and high humidity weather cause breakouts me
Folks (including you) love that Hada Labo but I hate that it has parabens. 😞 Do products w/ parabens ever irritate your skin? Also what's the diff b/t the 2 Physiogel products? And lastly, thank you for this video! I totally get that weird thickened bumpy skin texture you mentioned when my skin gets irritated and no one has ever confirmed that it's an allergy/irritation. Sometimes it has happened from me just using 2 (seemingly hydrating or nourishing BUT new) sample products. I have so many samples of high end stuff and from road shops in Korea that I just wanna use them up sometimes and get overzealous! Then I pay for it. 😝 sorry for the long comment and all the q's! Thanks again!
+Patti Kim Hi! Yes, I wanted to do this video so people can recognize the typical symptoms and not freak out which is what I always did! Parabens have never irritated my skin, I'm not sensitive or allergic to them. The quantities in Hada Labo are so minute so even at it's most sensitive, I'm ok.
