Having dodged cervical cancer through early detection Pap smear myself I thank you for supporting women's health causes.
So important and well done on getting checked. Glad all is well :) x
Much congratulations on the success of the kit! For the folks trying out Power D for the first time, you're in for a treat! Just one thing I thought I'd note, I spoke to a rep from Medik8 a while ago, and was told that acids and peptides don't mix well as some peptides can be broken down when used in the same routine with certain acids. I vaguely remember seeing something like that from Deciem.
Wow what a success. .. . I went to order one 22 mins after youtube announcement and sold out. My mature aged skin and I are working on being mature at missing out. Bravo CH
I got my kit today from London to a small town in California in about 48 hours from shipping 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 literally the perfect gift to open on a Friday after a tough week at work. I couldn’t wait to my evening routine this evening. Oh my goodness, the spray, the Zelens, the exfolikate (what I’ve tried so far) are ah-maxing. Can we just say the spray?!?? Amazing. Thank you
Fantastic- glad it got to you with no problems! The spray is indeed heaven. So happy you're enjoying it :) x
I decided to treat myself to the Emma Hardie cleansing balm since I missed out on the kit. I have to say this is one of the first pieces of skincare that I have every truly felt was both luxury and practical. What an experience.
Update! Caroline I just wanted to thank you for all the work and the information that you share with all of us. I bought the Kate Somerville Liquid ExfoliKate and it has improved my skin so much in the 1 week that I have used it.This has been the only change that I made. My foundation looks so good now, my skin seems smoother. Thank you from Bea in Canada wear winter is now here.
🌺 SPRING KIT

🌞 SUMMER KIT
🍁 AUTUMN KIT
😍😍😍
Yes please!!
I don’t know what the hell I’m doing kit LOL.
I wish I’d watched this a year ago 🤦🏻♀️ I shelved most of my skincare whilst pregnant because I couldn’t find a clear “this is safe, this isn’t” and had no idea what was for the best. Fast forward to baby being born and I’ve had to bin and replace most of it because it’s now been open too long. My skin is in the worst condition it’s been in since I was a teenager, I think a mix between the hormones and going from a great skincare routine that had worked wonders for me to the very very basics has done me in! Feels like starting from scratch, hopefully I can get it back to where it was!
I received my kit today and I didn't expect it so soon being in the states and this video is just what I needed after opening the box! I even took notes! Now back to my no buy :) Love you so much! You are the best.
Thank you! Glad it arrived safe and sound. Hope your face loves it! :) x
This is so helpful!! The kit's out of my price range (student) but viewing as a "this is how to do a skincare routine" explanation I'll will be referring back to this video :) I'd love to see a complete low budget routine as well, but regardless this is a really helpful, thank you!!
Yes low and mid range routines would be appreciated.
Ya! More kits. I was so bummed I missed this kit but I'm glad to know you'll do more kits. God bless your beautiful soul!
Really bloody decent of you to take the purchasing options along with a discount for those who can’t afford the kit. Thank you 😊
v welcome x
Thank you so much for such an explanatory and informative vidéo. I absolutely love this capsule skincare collection. New to Retins as didn't know where to start. I was so impressed by how easy it was to order and even more so by the very fast delivery. Thank you and all your team and well done for the charity donation. You are changing the world for the better!
Dearest Caroline,
Would you ever consider a doing kits by skin type? Or perhaps a one off for rosacea/sensitive skins? I love the idea of your kits and would definitely invest in ALL of it knowing none of it would set my skin off (theoretically), and the recs came directly from you.
Much love, and hearty congrats. Xo
I didn’t think my kit would come so soon but it arrived this morning and I’m already placing items into my evening routine!!🤩
Yay! Hope your face loves it x
Caroline Hirons so far it certainly does! I’ll be waiting patiently for the next one x
Could not believe how quickly it came to Indiana- USA. Woohoo!! Looking forward to trying the other 6 products you've recommended that I haven't tried yet! Wooooooohooooooo! Friday night face fun❤️😘✌🏻️🤗
Fabulous! Hope you enjoy exploring your new skin treats x
Caroline Hirons I already do! The resurfacing factor of the Exfolikate, or maybe it’s the stronger Retinol, in 4 days made a difference in my 46 year old skin. Whichever it is, it’s loving my skin. Thanks so much Caroline!
Thanks you for the thought you have put into the products in this kit suiting so many people.
Aww I wish I’d have got it but never mind. Maybe next time. I have an abundance of products already anyway 😃😃. Congratulations again Caroline it’s a fab kit. Xx
Andrea Cawood i already have some of the products as well as a load of skin care so i just made a note of the couple of items I want to snag elsewhere 👍🏽
Getting mine on Monday. Can't wait. So many products I always wanted to try. Thank you Caroline for putting this together for us.❤❤❤
You're very welcome! xxx
Thank you so much Caroline. Yesterday my skin care routine consisted of a supermarket wipe before bed (I know better now - they will be used as hand wipes!) and occasional moisturiser. Today my skin is thanking me. Or thanking you, to be more precise. LOVE the kit. 🥰
Oh enjoy! X
My kit is on the way! So happy to get this tutorial first so I’ll be prepared when it gets here! Here’s to great skin!
Excellent overview! Still beating myself up for not jumping in to order faster. I’ll know better for the spring, summer, and fall kits. 😉
Just got my box! So excited. Super fast shipping. I am in California and bought this Wednesday morning.
Thanking you and your team for all your efforts with this.
v welcome x
Caroline ive been waiting for ages for an expert to mention couperose skin. I have couperose skin across my cheeks and side of my nostrils which i have inherited from my mum. I cover it with bare minerals make-up (the swirl, tap, buff motion works a treat in covering up the small red vains) but when it comes to actual skincare products, nobody ever seems to mention the condition so the only advice i've had is from Dr Google. I will purchase the product you've recommended and see how it goes. I know nothing will eradicate the problem but defo willing to try anything. Cheers!
Caroline, I really appreciate your videos. I was wondering if you had a long-haul flight skincare video? I would love to see your routine! Will be in the UK this week so I send you much love for now.
Here's a couple of my blog posts about long haul flight routines- hope it helps! : www.carolinehirons.com/2015/05/pre-long-haul-flight-prep.html

After graduating in December I'm very much going to start saving so that I can splurge to get the summer kit! I feel like it will be the ongoing TLC I will need to do my Master's degree research project and I can't wait
Thank you CH! I am waiting on my kit and can not wait. Well done.
I cannot wait to see all the different product combinations on Instagram! I’ll def be using the Zelens tonight, along with the Oskia. Knowing my kit is awaiting me at home is the only thing getting me thru this day.
Same :) Thank you for purchasing-hope you love it
Hi all - can anway remember the make of the light Caroline was talking about on her insta live story yesterday. Thanks for the help. Cx
Riki lights
@@CarolineHirons Thanks again. I multi channelled my question (insta and YT).
Mine arrived today in New Zealand. Just in time to experiment over the weekend.😘
SO HAPPY to have the kit! Gracias Caroline ❤
Thank you for purchasing! Hope you love it :)
Hi Caroline, I received my kit yesterday and LOVE it!!! This video is very helpful. Would you consider doing a written list on a blog of what to use AM and then PM? I get confused with the retinol products, where do these come in the skincare routine? 😊
Yep running alongside this in a sec. :)
I received mine today... in Chicago!! Insanity how quickly it came!
Wow you are so lucky! It sold out before I could get it.
Wow, that was quick.
Mine was also delivered today near Chicago! I ordered it on Wednesday. 2 days ago. So crazy!
I’m in Chicago, too, and mine also arrived today. Can’t wait to open it up as soon as I get home from work!
I live in the Netherlands and I get ot on Monday. I blame Brexit! 😂😂😂❤
Yes! Very excited to learn all the good information! 😊
I love watching you Caroline! I've been a fan for so many years. I wonder if Kate's product would be good to use on my chest area (I have white bumps and sometimes breakouts). Thank you
Hi Caroline. Can I just check if I'm doing the medicate, should I do that straight after a cleanser? Would I put serums on or the eye cream before or after it? Thanks
You are awesome, Caroline! It's obvious how much thought and hard work went into this kit. I'm saving for the next one!
Thank you so much! x
I love alpha-h vitmin B! Best skincare purchase I have ever made, has made such a positive impact on my skin. Use it everday in the morning before my Vitamin C (I use drunk elephant). Great combination for the day
Zoe Stone ooh thanks, I was wondering whether to use it before or after the DE vit C
I’d never heard of Vit B until now. Must look into this some more.
@@AnUrbanGypsy there is more than one kind, skincare mostly has b3 and b5
Would you use the alpha H instead of a vit c serum? Or if you wanted to use a vit c serum too, where would you slot that into the morning routine?
You would use it in the mornings yes, over the Alpha-H if it's a thicker consistency, underneath if not.
My skin is in good condition (thanks to you). Should I save my Power D for when I inevitably over-exfoliate? That's kind of the only barrier damage I run into these days -- two or three times a year.
Or is it better to keep it in my daily/weekly rotation?
I was going to ask the same question! I'll wait for Caroline to reply here 🙂
Will be ordering your kit!! Just booked a Kate Somerville facial at the newly opened Nordstrom Flagship NYC store!! 😆!!
I love this video. So informative. One question. Can you use the Alpha H Vit B with a Vit C serum? Thanks so much
❤️ Thankyou this helps a lot as mine arrived yesterday 👍🏼😊
Thank you for specifying if it is suitable for pregnancy as I am currently pregnant and I find it all so confusing! X
On exfoliating rosacea/eczemaic/sensitive skin, i thought i had a permanent reaction to glycolic acid because the ordinary toner gives me either white bumps on the perimeter or dermatitis on the center, or both if i'm unlucky, but i've found i can use it, even nightly, if i apply an occlusive oatmeal cream (eucerin eczema baby for now, reccomended on dr dray's channel) afterwards! I also find that i can't use a cloth and use an AHA or retinoid, thought i was too sensitive for them until i did an acne study and they told me to stop scrubbing, dr dray said the same. Your fingers are exfoliating enough if you have a chronically weakened skin barrier, but now i get the more fine tuned benefits of the acid/retinoid without the flaking or dermatitis!
Wicked!
I can not believe the kit is already out of stock!!!!!!!!! will you restock it soon? please do.......
Very helpful video. Thank you. Could you tell me where the SPF fits into the routine- at the beginning or end?
Always the end x
I missed out on the kit and I am super bummed. If I was going to pick up some of the products separately which do you believe are the most important to add into a routine?
Which serums should I use at night time please Caroline?
Thank you Lady H!
Is the power d only for day time?
I am using Tretinoin every evening, I suppose the Medik8 would have to be used instead and the Kate Somerville in the morning?
Hi Caroline. Do you recommend using Retinols for loose skin on the bust? I'm wondering what is the best routine for helping the bust regain firmness.
Thanks so much Caroline! Mine is arriving tomorrow so love to hear your advice for routines. My questions if you have time! Why didn’t you include a vitamin C? What would substitute it if any? I have some pigmentation that’s keeping at bay and I feel that vit C helps, but maybe something else from the kit will? Lastly, for those vit D drops that will be amazing for my husband, should you apply them in the morning with no spf so sun light activates them? Sorry, not sure I got it. Thanks so much!! 🤗🙌❤️
I didn’t include a vitamin C because my first three choices said yes, and I didn’t want four serums. The Alpha-H will help. And for hubby, he can use it AM or PM. The daylight will activate it at either time x
Caroline Hirons thanks so much for your kind replies! I hope you’ll have a great weekend despite how mad we’ve all went for this kit 😅
Mine arrived this morning, glad you've done this video, I have no idea what order to use things etc! :)
Happy to help :) x
May be a possible stupid question but should Zelens Power D only be used during the day to the benefit of it being reacted by the sun? Or does it matter? I personally haven’t found a difference ether way but I’d love to get the benefit of using it correctly! 🥰
God no - it can be used whenever you like. Xx
Caroline Hirons thank you! 🥰
Wow just discovered you on this video! Thank you for your thoroughness! Are you doing another like this this winter?
We've already had snow.
Arrived in Los Angeles today.
Thank you so much!!!!!
V welcome!
I love my kit so much already!
Thank you Phoebe :D
I’m soooooo disappointed kits were sold out by the time I attempted to order.
I watched with envy hoping they restock 🙏🏽 plus no one explains as well as CH❤️
So so so excited for my kit!! Now just trying to work it all into my routine.
Anyone know if you use the exfolikate in the morning is it also okay to use the copper peptide with it? Thanks 💕
Go easy and try and use it in the evenings.
This video was exactly what I needed, thank you! Can you just clarify, do the retinol products go on after everything else but before moisturiser? I’ve always put it on straight after cleansing. Or does it not really matter?
Medik8 straight after cleansing yes
Caroline Hirons Thank you for replying!
In the evening, can you use Medik8 followed by the Zelens, and then moisturizer?
Hi Caroline, is this kit still available to purchase? If so where can I purchase it from? Thanks
Hey you mention “specialist facial” can you give any advice on how to locate people around where you live... over the general “spa” options
Depending where you live there is a list on the blog - under ‘where to go for treatments x
Great video. I get redness under each nostril, slightly to the side, nowhere else. Do you think the Zelens applied just in this area will help? Also - can the medik8 be applied around the eyes? I thought not but on their website next to this product they have a before and after shot and it is of the eyes. Thanks!
Hello Caroline, do you have other recommendations for people who had periorial dermatitis. I had it pretty bad. My doctor gave me a wrong diagnose. It was actually because of you I found that was my condition. I’ve got treated, but now I feel that my skin has changed a bit. Can you help? Thanks a lot!
Did you change your toothpaste?
Yes no fluoride toothpaste. I’m a bit scared to go back to my normal skincare routine. So far I haven’t had any flare ups. Are there any ingredients I should stay away from? (Except for fluoride and cortisone?). Can I use vitamine A and C, all the acids?And are there any products in particular that helps to make my skin barrier strong to keep any flare ups away. That are a lot of questions :D. Thanks for the quick answer!
Who else is watching this with their kit in their lap?!?
love it :D x
I've just watched it again S L O W L Y and written it all down
Received my winter kit thank you Caroline. I have just started getting sagging on my neck can you tell me if I can layer up any of these products on my neck to help with sagging or can you recommend a good starter product for my neck?
Avon platinum night cream firmed my neck and made it look slimmer.
Thank you , arrived very quickly the products are gorgeous X
V welcome x
Hi Caroline. Love the video. I bought the pestle and mortar eye cream. Gorgeous. I did a google search to see if you recommended any good deodorants on the more natural side of things. Do you know anything about potassium alum and if it is as bad as other aluminium ingredients usually in deodorants? Thanks so much
I am a little bit confused about SPF in the winter days. Should I use it on the days when I go to work early morning and have around 20 mins exposure to cloudy sky? When I get back it is already dark...
I wouldn’t. But if you sit near a window then yes! X
@@CarolineHirons thanks!
Hi Caroline,
Love the kit so much already.
How would I use Alpha H with a drunk
Elephant vitamin C? I love using it &
Would love to incorporate it with the amazing products in your kit.
Thanks x
I’d do the alpha first though as the texture is so thin x
I didn’t buy the kit, but this is great info anyway! Super lesson as usual Caroline.
Hi Caroline, not related to your kit, but can I use Pixi Glow Tonic in my routine at night prior to using Paulas Choice 1% Retinol Treatment? Xxx
Yeah that’s only a mild 5%. X
Hi Caroline, I’ve bought the kit and am looking to incorporate the Alpha-H in the morning. I use Drunk Elephant C-Firma in the AM as well, just wondering which comes first, the Alpha-H or the C-Firma? Thanks!
Alpha.
I have a question about cleansing. I am currently using a balm with wash cloth and a cream cleanse. So far it is the best method I have found and my skin is much clearer. But my skin really quite sensitive and among other things it does not like friction. And I would love to find a cleanser and cleansing method that gives is as effective but even a bit more gentle. Would it work to just use the beauty pie cleanser? Is there another cleanser that I could use? I ussually do not use makeup, but I do use spf.
For skin accustomed to acids (p50 ) what would you apply before the medik8. I’m about to wean my baby and am going to rejoin the retinol world.
Can you use the ExfoliKate first and then apply the Pixi Retinol afterwards for a PM routine?
No need.
unfortunely i cant afford it...but it looks like perfection...so happy for you and all the people who got it....🥰🥰🥰 bless you....xoxo
So this is a wonderful kit! I would love it if you could help me with a question....
So, I am 43 and I have the Clarins lotus oil which I use in the evening mixed with my night cream. I want to start using the retinol, is it ok to keep using it with my night cream??? Is there something in the kit that I cannot use with this oil??
It would also be helpful to see the order of use for some sample AM and PM routines listed out simply. This was a great overview of each product, but for someone who needs it spelled out for them, a list in order of use would also be very much appreciated!
Ok :)
Hi Caroline! Thank you for this! I do have 1 question about the Zelens, please! I DO have seb derm, and occasional flareups of perioral D, so I immediately ordered the Zelens. At night, I usually use: gentle double cleanse, dhc coq10, tretinoin, then after 30 minutes, I put on SR Good Genes, an oil, eye cream & the Belif moisturizer. Should the Zelens go before or after Good Genes, please? (or should I only use Zelens for daytime?) Thanks VERY much! 💛
I think you’re using too much tbh. With those flare ups I would be cut back. I wouldn’t use the GG on top of a tret for starters, use the Zelens instead and see if it calms down.
Caroline Hirons Thank you!
This is such an amazing beauty kit! You've put together a perfect selection for any skin issue. I'm doing my nightly routine right now and can't wait to try the Medik8. Thank you Caroline for this lovely handpicked set! ~Susanne xoxo
Thank you! xxx
I did get some ”rolling” with the Oskia Cream, did i use too much? I was pretty light handed but maybe not enough? I usually get that problem with silicone heavy products only.
Yeah prob too much?
So the exfolikate is supposed to be used on a pm per instructions but we can use in the am? So if you use that in the am can we still use the retinol at night? Thanks x
Yes
Perfect thanks - it’s packed away until Christmas now 😫 can’t wait to use it been really slack for the last few months so this was a good reminder for me to start looking after myself and will get an even better boost for the new year 🙌
Love your videos! What do you do for dry eyelids?
Hi I have been recommended your channel
Usually I’ve never had skin problems apart from having naturally drier skin. But over the last few days I’ve had painfully dry skin issues around my eyes cheeks nose and mouth. Could you do a quick beginners guide to treating dry skin for those who would just like 3/4 products? Hope you are able to help thanks xxx
Can I use the Medik8 retinal under my eyes? Medik8's website could suggest this from the before and after photo they use, but I had been avoiding under my eyes thinking this may be too strong for that area?
This kit is amazing 😍
So happy you love it :) x
Can I use the Alpha H and Zelens D product in the AM with. Vit C?
I wouldn’t do all three together. Maybe move the D to evening as it’s more reparative?
Caroline Hirons thank you!
Great content! Really enjoyed it 😊
Thank you! x
Do I still need to use the retinolserum 2-3 times a week in the beginning, if I can use The Ordinary 1 % retinol serum every night?
Potentially. Try it and see how you go.
Can you do a men's daily routine that simple? maybe give 2 options of products that do the same thing like an expensive and non-expense routine? IDK much about skincare.
Hi, all products are suitable for men too.
Ok Ok so for the "glow routine" do i do the same thing for night?
Will you be re stocking? X
Can you use a vit c serum after the pixi glow tonic or the pixi retinol?
Separate them out. AM or PM.
Hey Caroline, I am 35, good skin over all, just oily in the tip of my nose, not even t zone, the rest is dehydrated, I am using dermal quench liquid lift retinol advanced resurfacing treatment, from Kate sommerville, if I use the medik8 as well, will it be too much? what about with the pixie tonic?
Yeah too much. Finish up Kate and then move on. Tonic is ok. Mild.
Hi Caroline! I’ve had my pixi retinol tonic for a few months and I’m wondering if it looses its effects after a while? I bought the big bottle x
No it doesn’t. Keep using it!
Caroline Hirons brilliant, thank you! X
Can the Alpha-H Serum be used in the AM with a Vitamin C?
Would use of Clinique Clarifying Lotion count as an exfoliating step or acid step? Or both? Would you even recommend this product?
No never. It’s pretty much pure alcohol the higher you go. The 1.0 one is the only good one. X
