This is going to be weirdly personal, but I want to share. I’ve been passionate about skin care since I was a young teen, and I’m even studying biology and skin care in college to make a career out of it and help others on their skin care journey. However, I’ve been lacking in my own routine for the past year from depression. Recently, I bought some new products that completely sucked me back in to taking care of myself. Rather than just studying the science behind skin care, I’m applying it once again. I’ve been watching your videos for a while, and I started up again to help me get excited about my routine once more. Thank you so much Renee. ☺️
Thank you for sharing love. When we fall into that hole, the last thing we will do is actually take care of ourselves, or treat ourselves. It doesn’t feel deserved. So proud of you for getting back into your routines even when you don’t feel it. It’s all a ritual of loving and taking care of yourself and you DO deserve it. 💕
I have been suffering from depression from past 5 years until today and the only thing that keeps me going is my evening skin care routine. this takes my mind off the reality I am struggling with
@Destiny Pierce Please don't give up. It's a beautiful dream and you'll eventually get there. You can help so many people to regain their confidence ♡♡♡♡.
I recently acquired a bottle of the classic cleansing oil by Erno Lazlo--this $58 product was THREE dollars on clearance at Marshall's so I went for it. It's extremely nice. Goes on almost black (!) but sheers out as you use it. Very gentle, no irritation. A light, very old school kind of fragrance, NOT overwhelming or heavy at all. Lazlo was the favorite brand of many vintage movie stars and I can see why. This has become my favorite cleansing oil. My skin is dry and sensitive also, and it leaves me feeling actually hydrated and gently cleansed.
Fancl cleansing oil is not for me. It makes my left part of face itch. Have given up and that was years ago.☹️ Still searching for oil cleanser.🤔 I have dry and sensitive skin. What can I use more than 50. Currently I am using sum:37 cleaner in AM. Night time I will use Clarins Foam cleaner to remove. I use SPF 30 when I stay indoor. If out I will use SPF 50.
Not “similar” in texture, but have you tried the CAIS? It’s sooooo good! I’m on my third bottle, and I won’t be without it. I was going to get the CAIL, but as I read the description and recs, I couldn’t quite figure out how to fit in into my routine, which I really love and works well for me. Not Renee, but I hope you don’t mind my chiming in. 😉
Renée speaks; I listen, end of story! The *only* skin guru I follow and whose advice has improved the quality of my own complexion about 10 fold! Gonna need that CAIL now 😊 PS: LOVE the face-plant at the end 😆😂🤣
has nothing to do with skincare but can I just say the visual setup of this video is kinda really cool. like instead of just having a camera straight on your face as you look in a mirror, it's like the camera is looking towards the mirror. it's probably just a visual effect and it's not actually taping your reflection but I still appreciate the little detail
Just bought the DHC deep cleansing oil and I am loving it, if anyone is interested in buying it Costco have it in stock, $28.99 for a 10. 1 fl oz bottle plus a 1oz travel bottle, which is excellent value ( its $28 for a 6fl oz bottle at Ulta for example) Thanks for the recommendation Renee, this is wonderful stuff.
Dear Renee , I use Skinceuticals 0.5 Retinol cream twice a week , you mentioned in one of your videos ( I binge watch them ) you find Paulas choice Azelaic acid calm the skin while using retinol , so when should I use it before or after retinol ? Also I have Ordinary niacinamide , how should I use it ( the same nights with azelaic and retinol ? thank you very much 🤗
Hi, Renee! Quick question: when talking about the hydrating toners, you mention that concentrated essences can cause reverse surfacing. What exactly does that mean? Thanks for everything you do!
Hi, Renee! I’m also using some essence (5 energy roots at the moment) and on the same time tretinoin 0.05. Besides light peeling from time to time I don’t have any issues, but now I’m a little bit unsure if it’s a right to use them together. What exactly did you mean by that? Greetings from Hamburg 🇩🇪
She meant to say resurfacing. Fermented ingredients produce lactic acid, so even though it’s not a listed ingredient, it will exfoliate the skin gently.
“Look like a glazed donut” as one of your goals has me chuckling. So happy to see another video from you, as someone who always strives to look like a glazed donut.
I just started using the DHC cleansing oil and it's amazing. I'm on accutane and my skin is super dry and sensitive. It doesnt irritate my skin or break me out and I love it better than micellar water because I don't have to waste cotton pads.
Thank you for the video. Your skin is gorgeous! NIOD is sold out of the Copper Amino Isolate (CAIL). I don’t know when they will have it in stock again. Do you have another product you could recommend or not? Thank you. Hope you are having a great weekend.
Hi Renee, I just want to make sure I understand....I’m using the NIOD CAIS 2:1 drops and loving it! Is the lipid formula you’re using a stronger formula, or just different texture? Thank u so much! 🥰
It's a different texture but I this format makes it stronger for me. Probably because i'm getting a more even layer over my face. The drops are really watery. I don't think the lipid texture is for everyone though!
I love your videos!!! But they are so high end in price that there is no way I can afford them.... 😢. Is there any way that you could do a drugstore version of your night time skin care routine??? Would watch over and over again. Just a thought. Thank you for all your time you give your content. Blessings.....
Im a little bit confused with the acids and Retinoids. I just bought (i think) too much of The Ordinary and I kinda lost track when I can use which product. In the evening Im gonna use the Niacinamide + 1% Zink, Alpha Arbutin and Matrixl and then the Retinoid. Also can I use Lactic acid in the Morning and Granactive Retinoid Emulsion in the evening?. I also have the Red Aha+Bha mask which looks like blood but this one stings so much I cant use it anymore. I would be forever grateful for a reply 💕
I have really dry dehydrated skin and have been wanting to try the Primera Miracle seed essence but now after seeing your review for Then I Met You essence I can't decide which one to get. Which one would you say you prefer or has longer lasting hydration?
You've probably already experimented with this at some point, but I've gotta say- the CosRX snail products were what helped me finally get to regular tretinoin usage, especially the AIO cream. If you ever have irritation popup from the tret when winter gets more brutal, try adding it into the mix!
Thank you for sharing such a great routine. I am looking for advice. I work out daily which causes me to sweat a lot . I am 47 and noticed some visible wrinkles around my eyes in the past year. I do try to drink plenty of fluids before and after work out. Can you recommend a moisturizer that helps locking the moisture in my face? Many thanks!
Hi rene! Please can you recommend a great drugstore sunscreen that you can get from Hong Kong?? My dad is going there for work and I am having him get me some but I need your help, please respond 🙏🙏🙏 I love you so much and only trust your advice on skin
I found your channel a long time ago when trying to figure out how to get rid of my hyperpigmentation. You were the first person I heard mention the pH of cleansers. My skin has done nothing but improve since implementing the suggestions that are good for my skin type (dehydrated/oily/acneic/sensitive). Thank you so much.
okay so I'm confused....could you do a video strictly only talking about your copper 1% product? I understand this is an evening skincare routine, so you were explaining how you use it and alternate with Curology, but this is the first time I'm hearing of this product, what is the purpose of it? is it peptides? what is its purpose as an active? I guess I can google it too :)
Does the skin have to be completely dry before applying CAIL? Also, on their website, it says it’s to be used on its own after cleansing.. but I’m assuming I can still moisturize after, based on this video.
Your bathroom seems spa like 😍 the NIOD product is currently out of stock...😕 what do you think about the DCIEM stance and message about consumerism and boycotting of Black Friday?
It seems to me that they’re just making sure the savings aren’t limited to one day and rushed impulsive decisions. So they’ve started the savings early and extended it. They’re not boycotting the concept, rather just having an ‘abnormal’ and gentler approach to it. That’s how I read it. 😊
Hi Renee, a great full-packed informative video as always. I’m planning to incorporate vitamin A (Medik8 retinal) to my night routine and Skinceuticals CE Ferulic to my day routine. Which should I start with first? I think by introducing one at one time will help me judge the reaction on my skin. I have a mature very dry sensitive skin. Thank you for your time.
Hi Renne. I have been using a night cream from alphaH and has glycolic acid in it. I am looking to put retinol cream back in my skin care. Is it recommended to use the two alternatively every night? Thanks in advance.
hope you are a back sleeper ... to keep all the good skin care on your skin. And avoid wrinkles. I’m trying to convert from side sleeping. It so so hard. My right eyelid and even right side of my nose are lower than other side from sleeping on my side. So bummed and hoping to change. Thanks for helpful video. I’m looking into the NIOD product especially now during their November sale!!! Thx
Hi! I have watched your earlier videos in which you reviewed The Ordinary, but i don't see their products in your latest videos. Does this mean you are not a fan of them after all? Thank you!
Hi renee! I've got a question. I've been using the rice toner. It feels so nice...but however, the next i wake up, i get white bumps..what is it that causes? Cos i love the rice toner how it feels on the skin and its super light..
The Augustinus Brader Rich Cream is $265! Yikes! I’m all for spending money on exceptional products but that is way to rich for my blood. Lol. Love the products overall. Renee you are the queen of describing a product and the experience! Love your videos!!!!
As always you deliver a well curated routine with a clear understanding of how, what, and why you chose each product. I so enjoy each and every video you upload. Thanks for sharing.
this is EXACTLY what I wanted to see ! I'm dying to try CAIL ans TIMY (unfortunately they don't ship to europe). about the CAIL, what can it be used with ? vitamin C ? niacinamide ? HA ? or should it be left to work alone ?
I've used it with HA and niacinamide otherwise, I like to let it work it's magic alone! At the moment, using this on an alternate night from tret (and sometimes in the am) it's really working!
I’m loving your page. Thanks for sharing. For us folks who can’t afford to purchase a $245 moisturizer. Can you please share some more affordable options that are comparable to the one you used in this video? Thanks 💋
Augustinus Bader is so much more powerful than they lead on. I used it with a concentrated pre-procedure peptide serum (Alastin) and had a terrible flare up that lasted for three days. Anyone with sensitive skin proceed with caution. I will try it again on its own.
I have watched this video many times! It's so informative. I finally finished nursing my last baby and I can start using retnoid and give my skin some much needed TLC. I'm new to Korean skin care and want to have healthy skin like you! Trying to soak up all the knowledge from your videos. I bought your Wishtrend Holiday box. Super excited and can't wait for it to arrive. I'm currently using an OTC retnoid. Can I use a retnoid with the Wishtrend Polyphenols in Propolis 15% Ampoule? And when is it better to use the propolis 15% AM or PM? TIA!
I used the Bader cream for a full month while traveling. I had limited luggage space, and I was in one spot no more than 3 days. The directions actually say to NOT use anything else with it - no serums, no acids, no retinoids, etc. It eliminated my normal multi-step skin care routine. acids, no retinoids, etc. I found it to be OK - no negative reaction - but not a life changer. As a moisturizer only, it's a fairly ridiculous price to pay.
Hi Renee so glad to see you and hear your voice..it is refreshing and ensures me that my bad skin will eventually turn good I have dry skin and is it okay for me to use 10% niacinamide serum daily...will it eventually dry my skin as niacinamide reduces sebum and I wanna use it for my pigmentation issues... Thanks in advance
Hi Alice love! I think it depends on the formula - the Paula’s choice one has never dried my skin out. I don’t think it reduces sebum as much as balance out excess! 💕
I’ve been eyeing the iS Clinical Cleansing Complex for a while now, so I think this year I will take the dive. Also, as a former user of the original CAIS(haven’t used it in years), I’m definitely intrigued to try the CAIL as well. I stopped using the CAIS because I felt it was giving me irritation, but I think I was over exfoliating at that time. edit.. of course Niod is running a sale and the CAIL is sold out..
I have been waiting for this; thank you so much for what you do. I just started Curology as well; I first started with Obagi’s 360 retinol then transition over. It was the best decision I could have ever made to introduce my skin to tretinoin. You skin is so beautiful. I did see a couple of products that you use I may have to give it a try; anyway thank you.
Renee, your notification never fails to make me happy! More like chuckle gleefully and eeeyyyaahh I-gotta-finish-whatever-am-doing-fast-so-I-can-watch-Gothamista! Thank you for the in depth research always. And I keep going back to the I'm From Rice Toner everytime I try something new in the last 2 years or so. Paula's Niacinamide booster too. I haven't tried the NIOD yet and this video really helped me to make up my mind. Take care, sending love always. ❤
Hi Renee, I’m new to the channel. I love your recommendations! Is there a way to waitlist oneself for the CAIL product since it’s out of stock? How does one get notified if the product becomes available? Thanks.
Is there any products you recommend for someone who has acne scars and pigmentation issues. After I get pimples I always have the brown marks on my face and idk how to keep it away 😭
Hi Renée. I love your routine videos. They make me so happy. I have really enjoyed that Kate Somerville omega serum. I have also been loving the PC niacinamide😊
This is going to be weirdly personal, but I want to share. I’ve been passionate about skin care since I was a young teen, and I’m even studying biology and skin care in college to make a career out of it and help others on their skin care journey.

Good luck with your studies! Stay strong ❤ Remember that it's ok to feel down but it is not ok to not get back up eventually. Wish you the best.
As a fellow depressed mess I feel you, and think god for skincare giving me a bit of healthy routine and it’s so relaxing

💜 you!
Just wanted to point out that the DHC Deep Cleansing Oil does contain rosemary oil, for anyone who wants or needs to avoid all fragrance.
Tried it, can't stand oils. Went back to my all time fav., Clean it Zero balm
Dhc is way to heavy for me, i ilke the lighter cleansing oil like clairs or the nuetrogena, but they do have very small amount of fragrance.
I recently acquired a bottle of the classic cleansing oil by Erno Lazlo--this $58 product was THREE dollars on clearance at Marshall's so I went for it. It's extremely nice. Goes on almost black (!) but sheers out as you use it. Very gentle, no irritation. A light, very old school kind of fragrance, NOT overwhelming or heavy at all.

Hi, Renee!
Quick question: when talking about the hydrating toners, you mention that concentrated essences can cause reverse surfacing. What exactly does that mean?
Thanks for everything you do!
Hi, Renee! I’m also using some essence (5 energy roots at the moment) and on the same time tretinoin 0.05. Besides light peeling from time to time I don’t have any issues, but now I’m a little bit unsure if it’s a right to use them together.
What exactly did you mean by that?
Greetings from Hamburg 🇩🇪
She meant to say resurfacing. Fermented ingredients produce lactic acid, so even though it’s not a listed ingredient, it will exfoliate the skin gently.

Do you not recommend the osmosis?
The NIOD product was used for only two weeks and the tube is almost empty already at $90 per tube?? 😳

Do you use the Cleansing Complex on your tretinoin days ?
Do you find it's ok to use the iS Clinical cleansing complex in the same routine as a retinoid?
I used the Bader cream for a full month while traveling. I had limited luggage space, and I was in one spot no more than 3 days. The directions actually say to NOT use anything else with it - no serums, no acids, no retinoids, etc. It eliminated my normal multi-step skin care routine. acids, no retinoids, etc. I found it to be OK - no negative reaction - but not a life changer. As a moisturizer only, it's a fairly ridiculous price to pay.
Hi Renee so glad to see you and hear your voice..it is refreshing and ensures me that my bad skin will eventually turn good
I have dry skin and is it okay for me to use 10% niacinamide serum daily...will it eventually dry my skin as niacinamide reduces sebum
and I wanna use it for my pigmentation issues...
Thanks in advance
Hi Alice love! I think it depends on the formula - the Paula’s choice one has never dried my skin out. I don’t think it reduces sebum as much as balance out excess! 💕
I’ve been eyeing the iS Clinical Cleansing Complex for a while now, so I think this year I will take the dive. Also, as a former user of the original CAIS(haven’t used it in years), I’m definitely intrigued to try the CAIL as well. I stopped using the CAIS because I felt it was giving me irritation, but I think I was over exfoliating at that time.
edit.. of course Niod is running a sale and the CAIL is sold out..
Heyyyy I love you video. Do you recommend using the copper peptide during pregnancy? As an alternative of retinol ?
I absolutely adore your skincare routine videos. Please upload more of them. BTW - your skin looks so fantastic!!!!
Renee, your skin looks fabulous!!! I need to stop procrastinating when it comes to my skin.
small, baby steps!
I loved the I’m From Rice Toner, but I had to stop using it because my face was too white compared to my body 😭
I have been waiting for this; thank you so much for what you do. I just started Curology as well; I first started with Obagi’s 360 retinol then transition over. It was the best decision I could have ever made to introduce my skin to tretinoin. You skin is so beautiful. I did see a couple of products that you use I may have to give it a try; anyway thank you.
Renee, your notification never fails to make me happy! More like chuckle gleefully and eeeyyyaahh I-gotta-finish-whatever-am-doing-fast-so-I-can-watch-Gothamista! Thank you for the in depth research always.
And I keep going back to the I'm From Rice Toner everytime I try something new in the last 2 years or so. Paula's Niacinamide booster too. I haven't tried the NIOD yet and this video really helped me to make up my mind.
Take care, sending love always. ❤
Hi Renee, I’m new to the channel. I love your recommendations! Is there a way to waitlist oneself for the CAIL product since it’s out of stock? How does one get notified if the product becomes available? Thanks.
René, would you repurchase the Augustinus Badger?
The NIOD Cail 1% has been out of stock for weeks. Any idea when it will be available again? Would like to purchase during the sale
It s available now
Rene I laughed a lot with your PM routine goal, "Look like a glazed donut". That also my goal. Jajajajajajaja.
I think I achieved it by the end of the video hahah!
SWEET! Im sold. I need to try the CAIL. Thanks for another exceptional demo! XO
Is there any products you recommend for someone who has acne scars and pigmentation issues. After I get pimples I always have the brown marks on my face and idk how to keep it away 😭
YESSSS!! long awaited for a seasonal update. Please also do a updated NIOD and Hylamide review and recs in time for their sale please!!!
My fav skin care guru! I learnt so much through your videos and I now know better of what I need. Love you 😘
The minute I realized I am watching you in a mirror I couldn't stop thinking about the mirror from Shrek 😂
Are we not supposed to run the second cleanser on our eye lid? How to get rid of the oil from the oil cleanser then?
Hi Renee can you give a full facial treatment that you get from Sephora - they have sale right now.
Long live the Queen!
Hi Renée. I love your routine videos. They make me so happy. I have really enjoyed that Kate Somerville omega serum. I have also been loving the PC niacinamide😊
I laughed so hard at 12.35 hahahaha 😂♥️
