I'd love to see a video more on beginners of skincare; how to establish you routine, introducing products etc. As someone just getting into skincare and slowly introducing products to my skin, I find it slightly overwhelming and quite intimidating with all of the different ingredients, steps and new terms. Would be very appreciated!
The best I've seen is on the Ordinary. The Oridnary is a super cheap, high-quality grade of skin care. It has a chart that lets you find what you're trying to fix and suggests products. If that's a bit confusing, just contact them personally, and be honest. Tell them you're a newbie to skincare. Tell them all about your skin's history, your age, and where your skin is now. The more info they have, the more they can recommend. And, like I said, the ordinary is so cheap, you could probably afford everything they suggest. Good Luck.
I've been using The Ordinary and NIOD for the past 3 months and have definitely seen results. You're so right Jenny. The Ordinary is super inexpensive, but the science behind the products and the quality are second to none. NIOD is more expensive, but again, the innovation, the science, and the quality are second to none.
I tend to order anything you review and really love the results. My skin has changed dramatically since switching to Kbeauty skincare and it's all thanks to you! Best skincare guru on UA-cam
DandoonBeauty, I couldn't agree with you more! Renee is THE BEST! Since stumbling upon her channel I've started transitioning to a K-Beauty skin care regimen, too. I've got a lot of product on the way, but so far I've adopted the 7-Skin Method with the Bioderma Hydrabio, added in Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 PIGM 400, and switched to the Erborian Double Mousse cleanser (which is absolutely THE best cleanser I've ever used BTW), and my skin is already responding favourably to the changes.
Yay! I've been trying the 7 Skin Method with my Paula's Choice RESIST hydrating toner. I started out with 3 layers on your recommendation. I love it. It's really helping my dry skin feel plump & look more hydrated.
That Pyunkang Yul stuff is LEGIT. Started using it for its anti inflammatory properties (Asian who got sunburn and got severe redness inner cheek area 😩). My wounds there healed, my skin feels so hydrated without the greasiness, and my overall face is so clear/plump it could appear in a commercial 💁
It is difficult to find comprehensive review regarding aloe products now because it is a very simple ingredient. Majority of the consumers like hard-to-pronounce ingredients lol. I realized this when I was looking for an Innisfree Aloe Revital Soothing Gel review. The brand is pretty popular in skincare but people seems to focus more on their other lines. ALOE VERA in general is under rated. I still love it anyway.
Hi, I hope i'm not too late! I have been using the secret key aloe toner for the past year and I have to say that it is one of the best hydrating toner for its price. It hydrates my skin and makes it very soft and bouncy like how a baby skin would feel. I have sensitive skin and many products that I have tried always results in tightness, redness and itch, but not this product. I already have great skin but this product just push my skin potential to the fullest. Scent wise, it has a very very mild aloe smell that honestly smells really nice and refreshing. Whenever my skin is red and stressed, I would pat one layer of this toner on my skin and right immediately you would be able to see how much the skin cools down. I hope this helps you :)
Yeah that's truee!! I bought the tea tree one bc I got some acne and I wanna know about this but I don't find so much people talking about this esp on youtube.
I agree! I'm looking for something I can use around the eye area (I've read that in 10%+ concentrations L-AA can boost collagen and I have thin, sunken skin under my eyes) but I'm worried that it will be irritating or cause problems.
Queen of skin gods. U and Ms.Hiron. I so appreciate all your hard work and professional quality videos. Your knowledge is AMAzing. You skin just glows. Thank you for your channel.
Oh my gosh I loooove your reviews so much; a lot of times I even just have you playing in the background as I do my makeup in the morning. There's just something really wholesome and soothing to hear your voice! Thanks for replying to my question about the Sunday Riley Tidal cream Renee!
blackdragonwingz 😂 hahah IKR! we just nd abit of Renee in our lives..esp when applying skincare I tink of Renee. then only we will feel comforted. skincare=Renee, Renee=skincare
absolutely! i think skincare comes first, then makeup. if your skin has problems, makeup would make it almost more obvious/or wouldnt help much.. if you have a beautiful healthy base, you dont even need that much makeup! maybe only a bit color on eyes, cheeks and lips, and you are good to go. thats why i love Renee and her reviews!
I couldn't possibly agree more to this statement about makeup. I only started wearing makeup after my skin got sorted. Otherwise it looked horrible. But the new makeup skincare hybrids helped alot!
I just turned 68 and appreciate all your skincare tips - I’ve always taken care of my skin but in a very limited fashion. I wish I would have learned about proper skincare ages ago. I’m going to give this method a try. I don’t expect to turn back the clock but I figure I can slow it down somewhat! Love your recommendations and tips! Thanks
Exactly what Hanna said. I am absolutely obsessed with your Channel. You have transformed my skin in about 2 weeks! I've been living in Korea for 2 years and have been so overwhelmed by the products and choice and have had no idea what products would be most effective for my skin type (dry and very sensitive). You are a god send. ❤️️
I can't believe my favorite didn't make the list as it is absolute HEAVEN for dry &/or dehydrated/ thirsty skin!! I HIGHLY recommend Paula's Choice Skin Recovery Toner. It's a milky toner & is incredibly gentle & soothing yet still absorbs & layers very well; I prefer to apply w/ my hands but many also use a cotton pad. It is cruelty-free & vegan, & @ $21 for a 6.4oz a bottle w/ regular additional promotions/ discounts available - including $10 off for any new customer w/ a referral code - it is also quite budget friendly. Even w/ twice-daily use a bottle generally lasts me at least 4-5 months! It is very much a holy grail product for me & I truly cannot recommend it highly enough! (And as a bonus It also works fabulously as the liquid ingredient in many masks!)
Love this! I’ve tried a total of 4 out of the group that you’ve showcased today because of this video: Secret Key, Pyunkang Yul, Bioderma, and Hadalabo. I loved all, however, my favorite in order is: Pyunkang Yul, Secret Key and Bioderma come in at a tie, and then the Hadalabo. Thank you so much for all of the wonderful recommendations! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Renee, your channel has changed my skin for the better. Going to the Beauty section at department store has been so overwhelming and I have always left with stuff I didn't need and the products never help my problem areas. This is also my first UA-cam comment... just needed to thank for your informative videos.
I think your toner recommendations changed my skinhealth the most! In the past I wouldn't care about toners but thsnks to you I know better know and I can't live without! Thanks for putting so much effort ❤😊
I’m glad that you have included the Klair’s supple toner. I ordered this and it irritated my skin so I ordered the unscented version with no essential oils. I love it and I can use the fragranced version on my chest, neck and hands. I will keep Pyunkang Yul on my list for the future because I have several of these products that I adore.
You should let any of your makeup enthusiast fans know that your DIY aloe mist is a great replacement for Mac Fix+ Spray. It's so much more cost effective, too!
This is what I need a replacement for Mac Fix & Spray. Is there one also that I can purchase? I saw a review Renee did on hydrating toners and she mentioned Farmacy Skin Dew but it is $44. Any others that are great?Thanks Pam
Renee's aloe spray is really easy, and it lasts forever. If you go on Amazon, you can find "George's Aloe Vera Spray Mister." 100% aloe, which I use as the base. Remove some of it, add some glycerine and your favorite facial oil (mine is The Ordinary's Rose Hip). It takes some experimenting to find the perfect balance, but it's SO much cheaper and more hydrating for your skin than Fix+. You can get a big refill of George's Aloe, too, which I did. I've barely had to go into it so far.
Renee, you are a lifesaver for me! My 45 year old skin has been completely revamped over the past few years due to (finally) properly looking after it. I've added a prescription 0.1% Tretinoin (slowly & sparingly starting off at 0.025%), toners, SUNSCREEN!, chemical exfoliants, masks, AHA/BHA's, dual cleansing, and more. Thank you for so much incredible & educational information on how to keep our skin looking good as we age. I just wish that I would have started sooner, but I truly didn't know about proper skincare as that was not talked about (nor cared about) in my childhood home. We had the shared & cheap bar soap in the shower and that was what I used on my face & body. Looking back at that, I just cringe. I don't use bar soap any longer (makeup brushes only! LOL). I eve have my own separate product "stash" in the shower that I share only with my husband and he knows that they're all "off limits". Haha. I've tried to get him to do the bare minimum skincare with sunscreen and he flat out refuses. So, when I look 50 when I'm 80 and he looks 85...I'll finally have the "I told you so" moment. He's a chronic golfer, so it's even more important that he uses it on his face, neck and arms. I can't force a gown man, though. #Scorpio. (And I'm a Taurus! Hahaha!!) I do have one big question after this small novel - I'm so sorry for my ramblings. I'm just so grateful for your continued guidance. Q: I've been seeing the same ingredients pop up in toners and was wondering your thoughts about them: *butylene glycol, carbomer, octyl dodecanol, isohexadecane, dodecane, isoeicosane, octadecane, tetradecane.* Are these good, bad, or placebo ingredients? They mostly end in -cane & -sane. I have heard conflicting reports about butylene glycol. Isn't cane = sugar? Or does that not apply to skincare? 🤷🏼♀️🙈 Some reviews are rave and some are rant. Can you possibly help shed some light on the -canes/-sanes ingredients, please? Thank you!!! 💞❣️🤗
I have tried so many of these product recommendations and from other videos and I LOVE them. Best of all, I don’t think I have loved my skin more in my life. Thank you!!!!
Thank you yet for another wonderful and very informative video. Since I tried the 7 skin method my skin never felt so hydrated. I mean doing the 10 step routine I thought that was enough but adding the 7 skin method I never looked back. Thanks Renee for this recommendation of toners I already have one that I'm using but I'm looking that is Renee approved. 😊
THANK U A MILLION TIMES!!!!!!! Your videos are always full with so much amazing info and products for me to learn all about and im beyond appreciative that you take the time to share your knowledge with us. No other blogger has saved my skin like you have!!
Yes! I was hoping you'd make a video like this. I keep reading about the 3-skin method (I think would work better for me) everywhere. I ordered the Whamisa Toner (the regular version) to replace my nearly-empty May Coop Raw Sauce.. I'm excited for it to arrive!
calliopticon I just ordered the Whamsia as well. But tomorrow my May Coop Raw Sauce will arrive as well. Been curious about that one for awhile. I ordered the small size to be sure I like it. Do you like the Raw sauce?
I really liked it! It's quite thin and watery and I've almost always used it as a first treatment essence mixed with a drop of my Hada Labo Shirojyun and patted in right after cleansing unless I used an active. It has a very mild herbal smell that I actually enjoyed and I'm not much for any scent. It was definitely hydrating and added some plumpness to my dry, sallow skin type. The reason I'm branching out is pretty much that I'm just curious! It wasn't an insta-HG but I enjoyed it and didn't want to replace it with just anything but the Whamisa is so well loved I thought I'd try. Even the small size of the May Coop has a very heavy glass bottle that makes it feel luxe and I like having it out on my dresser. I would recommend it!
I immediately had to rush to buy the Pyungkang Yul toner! I live love medicinal, multifunctional products, so I'm very excited to try it! I think I'm going to get my hands on a couple of the new Blithe essences... this one might be a bit heavy, for my skin, but Blithe ALWAYS knocks it out of the park. The splash masks are still one of my grail products! I'd love to see a new anti-aging favorites video! I'm turning 30 soon, and I'm wanting to incorporate more innovative anti-aging products into my line-up, but so many of them (that I've tried) seem so heavy and leave me a bit oily as the day wears on... Thanks again! SO many awesome products to try! ❤
Thank you so much love I've tried the 7 skin method and let me tell you !!! oh my God !!!! my skin feels amazingly glowy and instantly healthier and very hydrated !! I needed this video right now since I'm searching for a new toner
I am a brand new subscriber. I found you from a skin care group on Facebook recommending the 7 skin method. Now I'm up to my eyeballs in fantastic information and am about to overhaul my entire routine. I have super dry, maybe dehydrated skin (still learning). Every word is useful and you give us the information quickly. I've actually been pausing the videos to take notes. Lol. So glad I found your channel.
I got my friend a gift set to start the 10 step skin care. Gave her the instructions... As She calls herself (scattered brain). I sent her your link with your nighttime routine. She texted me and said verbatum: I love her, I'm hooked! I wanna buy every one of them... Damn you! I just replied : isn't she awesome? I binged on her videos. And I will take that darn you as a compliment and so as Renée... Have a good day! 😊
Not sure whethe anyone experienced this, but i think i have little tiny bumps appearing on my skin after using any hydrating toner... or maybe it's just my period. But this is possibly the most informative review in the entire youtube!!!!
Hallo! I love your videos, you opened a complete new world to me! I was shocked to find out that water in toners is not a good thing! Here in Italy it is impossible to find one without it being the main ingredient... thank god for your DIY toner!
Your videos are super informative! Love each one and have used the info and suggestions you make to clam my adult acne and have passed along to my friends! My next step is to help get rid of the scarring and work on anti again.
Your awesome! Please never stop making UA-cam videos! You have introduced me to the seven step and have made my life with The Ordinary and understanding it just so easy! I really love your work and look forward to your new videos!
I have been using the Klairs supple preparation facial toner recently and it works wonder on my combination-type skin! It makes my drier part of my skin smooth and hydrated whilst it doesn't make my skin oily! Great product for real ❤️
I'd love a video on vitamin C. How do I effectively include it in my skincare routine and which products would give me results without stressing my sensitive skin. My skin's texture is uneven in my acne prone area and I have hyperpigmentation from acne breakouts.
I am a recent watcher and now diehard fan! My skin has changed and very irritated, red, almost eczema or rosecau symptoms. I usually have combination skin but the last year just really red warm cheeks. So I have binged your videos for 5 straight days taking notes like a nerd and rewatching multiple times. I just splurged on myself with many of your recommended items and really hope to try 7 skin method and pray it helps! I used rosehip oil yesterday for the first time but my skin either is purging or irritated because of it. Just really needing relief because my skin is dry, tight, inflamed, and red with raised bumps. Thank you for your videoss, you have so much knowledge I am just hoping to learn some tricks! Thank you!
Omg I've been needing a video like this! I've been really into the idea of using 7 toners to boost skin hydration but I didn't know what kind of toners would be the best one. Love the video :)
Perfect timing! I just was thinking I should stock up on some more toners because I have been doing the 7skin method for about two months and I am HOOKED. My super, super dry skin is from hypothyroid disease. I still love, love, love the Ooloo Jasmine moisture liquid. The Klairs is nice and has a more clinical scent. I have a huge kit from Ohui. I bought during a super huge Valentines Day sale. I am hoping I like it.
Do keep me posted on those! I also LOVE the Oolu toners and they were included in this video, ofcourse, but I had to remove them because I found out that memebox was no longer going to stock them and really, there's nowhere else to buy them. So SAD!
Good morning. Love videos like this. So helpful and yours are excellent. Here's a tip from another skin care video on youtube that you might like. It enhances the use of toners in any skin care routine. It has to do with the ORDER in which products are used, rather than which products are used. The order is wash, either double or exfoliate, then dry and put on serums, LET THEM DRY, and THEN spray on your toner and while your face is still wet, apply moisturizers. This helps to seal in the treatments and keep skin hydrated for longer periods of time at a stretch.
I actually tried using Hada Labo for 7 skin methods and it was amazing! I simply used two drops each time. It was just a little bit tacky after several layers but it made my skin plumped and so hydrated! My skin glows all day! ♡ PS. I have very sensitive, combination and acne-prone skin.
You are my skin guru. I literally walked out at the beginning of the video when you said drinking tea helps and made a cup of matcha tea. I had to start the video over because I forgot to pause it...LOL.
Renee!! I been using the klairs for almost 2 years now & since you introduced pyungkal yul I bought it right away and you know what the finishing is true to your words! feeling silky like rice bran. Thanks for the recommendation renee 💙💙
Lady, you are awesome. So thorough and informative!! I've been watching your videos nonstop, so much so that I've crashed my UA-cam several times. My skin was so congested and thanks to your breakdown of different types of acne and how to properly cleanse the face, my skin is almost back to normal. I'm patiently waiting for my Hemish balm to come in the mail! Thank you so much and keep the great videos coming!!!!!
I've actually been using Mario Badescu facial spray for this. It doesn't feel tacky and is more convenient as a spray. I really love this method, even been incorporating this in my clients facial treatments and they all love it 😊
I stay in love with your videos! I discovered your channel a week ago and I love it. I am Spanish and I have a Korean routine. I use a lot of the products you show, especially Blithe. Thank you very much for your videos, I learn a lot. Many kisses.
I just ordered the Whamsia one and the Blithe Vital treatment. If you sign up for the email you bet 10% off and because it was over $50 I got free shipping. The site also has a cool rewards program. Very thankful I found you and your channel. I have normal to dry skin and at 44 I know the mo moisturized and hydrated my skin it, the healthier and more youthful I look. I already have a good skin care regime but I'm interested to see how the 7 step method will step up my game. I use the Indie Lee coq10 toner now and just ordered the DHC Coq10 one. Looking forward to adding these two in the mix
Hi. I love your informative videos!!! Can you do an updated summer skin care routine video? I would love to see what you are using during this time of year! Thank you for educating everyone on you tube about skin care products!💗
I have combination skin and seem to have been having fantastic luck with the Neogen Calendula toner. My face is flawless and although I haven't tried the 7 Skin method yet, it would be a good option. I just ordered the May Coop Raw Sauce to replace my Shiseido essence. I have recommended your channel to all my skin care friends!
I started trying this with my rosewater spritz, and have been BLOWN AWAY by the difference it's made already. I've got the Earth's Recipe & Blithe winging their way to me in NZ... can't wait to try the bouncier kind of toner. After watching Glow Recipe's FB live video, these two were flagged as fragrance-free (perfume really riles up my skin). Compulsively checking my mailbox! xx
Im new to your channel and im really amazed of your content. Its knda hard having a dry skin in the hospitality industry. That's why im so greatfull for this video.😊
I just found your channel and I’m totally obsessed! Thank you for all the information! I’ve been dying to try this method and now I know where to start and what products to use.
Just wanna say that I love your vibe :-) I'm still fairly young (23) & I have been into my skin care for a couple years now but I am planning on bettering my routine & videos like yours have really helped me have confidence that I will find good products that suit me :-) so THANK YOU for making videos sending u positive vibes 💞
You're like a walking skincare-beauty- encyclopedia ... hahaha luv all your videos! Amazing how you explain things in such detail and yet easy to understand! Xoxo
Always so genuine and informative, which I truly appreciate about you Renee. I learn a lot from your videos. Can you please do a video on products that can help with taking down redness or spider veins?? Thank you so much!
Oh yay!! Thank you Renee for making this video. I was just stabbing in the dark when considering what toners to use & this video was perfect for clarity!
Thank you for your lovely videos. If you can, please share where you get information about how different substances affect and interact with skin. I'd love to read more in depth on the subject, but it's hard to find reliable information online. Thank you!!!!
Loooooove all of your videos!! I already bought the whamisa, earth recipe and hada labo. I layer them and love them with the oola ginseng mist too! Another one you recommend as well in another video. Love your product opinion and information! U r the best.
I have just subscribed a couple of days ago and just love your channel! You are informative and give recommendations on whats best for our skin and not push high end products. High end products I'm sure are good but you give us more choices that we can afford. I am trying to catch up on ALL your videos😁. Thank you for what you do for us ladies😊
I built my skincare routine based on your recommendation and my skin has gone so much better ❤️❤️❤️. I have similar skin type to yours ( combo dry sensitive, a bit oily when in summer) I love pyunkang Yul toner and whamisa toner so much. I took my pyunkang toner to camping a while ago, the place we went was dry and cold this year , normally my skin doesn’t react well to dry windy climate. I layered the toner the night before, followed by Blithe mushroom moisturiser ( another of your recommendation) . Ahh my skin was so plumped and smooth the next day ( we go to this place for camping every year and my skin was always dry because of the ultra dryness) I was so impressed. Thank you so much for sharing all these goodies with us. Xo from Australia
i have been using dears one. but i can't find it except in travel size. i love it and the bounce cheese toner cream . i have dry mature skin and it really plumps up my skin during the day . I am going to get the last one you mentioned i think that would be great for 2 or 3 layers . i find the 7 layer does not take very long. I am more into skin care than makeup since i hit 46 . i can go without makeup and its not bad . love your videos
U just gain new subscriber! Omg u are so informative thanks darl! i have oily acne prone yet dehydrated skin so i struggle to find product tht wont break me out or make me super dry. Thanks darl for all infos n tips! 😘😘
I knew you were going to love the Blithe 8 beans!!! 🤗 Totally hooked to it, I am dying to try out the Whamisa toner but can't get it in Europe - on my wishlist for my next US trip 😎☺️ Have a wonderful day gorgeous ☀️🌷
I use a vitamin C toner and Serum it works well, ( the combination works very well ) my concern is wether I should be using products with fairly high levels of vitamin C in them during summer (I am black and live in toronto )
The more options the better. That way everyone is bound to find something. My skin adores green tea so I'm keen to find out if I can purchase that at all in the UK. I also have an odacite green tea toner which might work, I will need to look at the ingredients. Thank you again, could never tire of listening to you.
Wow! The Whamisa is so fragranced! Usually I will say " no way" ! Let the hives and itching begin... but no way!! NO IRRITATION at all, and it's beautiful..
Laura Covolus I have highly sensitive skin as well. In fact there is so much I am allergic to and I didn't have any issues with the Whamisa toner either. Isn't it wonderful? ☺
That's what's crazy about it. Even those who dislike fragrance or sensitive to it still love Whamisa. It is all natural not synthetic fragrance though.
I can listen to you all day long!!! Miss you!!!
💋💋💋!!
I love you both so much! 😭❤️😭❤️
Gothamista u look gorgeous
I adore you both!!! So love you ladies!!
Love you both❤❤

The best I've seen is on the Ordinary. The Oridnary is a super cheap, high-quality grade of skin care. It has a chart that lets you find what you're trying to fix and suggests products. If that's a bit confusing, just contact them personally, and be honest. Tell them you're a newbie to skincare. Tell them all about your skin's history, your age, and where your skin is now. The more info they have, the more they can recommend. And, like I said, the ordinary is so cheap, you could probably afford everything they suggest. Good Luck.
I've been using The Ordinary and NIOD for the past 3 months and have definitely seen results. You're so right Jenny. The Ordinary is super inexpensive, but the science behind the products and the quality are second to none.

DandoonBeauty, I couldn't agree with you more! Renee is THE BEST! Since stumbling upon her channel I've started transitioning to a K-Beauty skin care regimen, too. I've got a lot of product on the way, but so far I've adopted the 7-Skin Method with the Bioderma Hydrabio, added in Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 PIGM 400, and switched to the Erborian Double Mousse cleanser (which is absolutely THE best cleanser I've ever used BTW), and my skin is already responding favourably to the changes.
DandoonBeauty SAME
Can u recommend 2 or 3 must have products? Ive dry skin. Im from India. We dont get any koreans products here. I shoud import them.
@@MakeupMuses Where do you buy your k-beauty products?
Yay! I've been trying the 7 Skin Method with my Paula's Choice RESIST hydrating toner. I started out with 3 layers on your recommendation. I love it. It's really helping my dry skin feel plump & look more hydrated.
Fabulous Shannon!
I would trust you to name my baby!! you know everything i must keep watching
Haha! Thank you for that humbling amount of trust! 😘
That Pyunkang Yul stuff is LEGIT. Started using it for its anti inflammatory properties (Asian who got sunburn and got severe redness inner cheek area 😩). My wounds there healed, my skin feels so hydrated without the greasiness, and my overall face is so clear/plump it could appear in a commercial 💁
hai wow ! Does it help with dehydrated tight skin ?
Ive been using this for a week and a half now and after only two full days YOU WILL SEE improvement
Yes! My skin has never felt better
Really? Wowww I must try that😍👏🏼
that secret key aloe toner is so underrated, i keep trying to find some review about it but it seems like there's not much people that try it
It is difficult to find comprehensive review regarding aloe products now because it is a very simple ingredient. Majority of the consumers like hard-to-pronounce ingredients lol. I realized this when I was looking for an Innisfree Aloe Revital Soothing Gel review. The brand is pretty popular in skincare but people seems to focus more on their other lines.

If I have dry skin, should I buy the secret key aloe, milk toner or the tea tree toner?
Periwinkle ` what skin type do you have? Because I have dry and want to use it but it says for oily skin!
Please do a video on vitamin C? There are so many different derivatives and extremely confusing to me
lya95 I second this!!!!!
I agree! I'm looking for something I can use around the eye area (I've read that in 10%+ concentrations L-AA can boost collagen and I have thin, sunken skin under my eyes) but I'm worried that it will be irritating or cause problems.
I'd love to see Renee tackle vitC but in the meantime, TophCam did a wonderful video on it. They're supposedly collabing soon too!
YAAAS!!! I need more options... Drunk Elephant smells gross LOL and Klairs feels a bit oily
lya95 Nadine Baggott, a British blogger has a full video on vit C on UA-cam, with great content

You are too kind, thank you so much!
Totally agree!
Exactly what Hanna said. I am absolutely obsessed with your Channel. You have transformed my skin in about 2 weeks! I've been living in Korea for 2 years and have been so overwhelmed by the products and choice and have had no idea what products would be most effective for my skin type (dry and very sensitive). You are a god send. ❤️️
Thank you so much Maria, that means alot to me!
Maria Daniel pls do share your routine and products :) we have the same kind of skin !
I can't believe my favorite didn't make the list as it is absolute HEAVEN for dry &/or dehydrated/ thirsty skin!! I HIGHLY recommend Paula's Choice Skin Recovery Toner. It's a milky toner & is incredibly gentle & soothing yet still absorbs & layers very well; I prefer to apply w/ my hands but many also use a cotton pad. It is cruelty-free & vegan, & @ $21 for a 6.4oz a bottle w/ regular additional promotions/ discounts available - including $10 off for any new customer w/ a referral code - it is also quite budget friendly. Even w/ twice-daily use a bottle generally lasts me at least 4-5 months! It is very much a holy grail product for me & I truly cannot recommend it highly enough! (And as a bonus It also works fabulously as the liquid ingredient in many masks!)
Could you please do an updated video of your favorite hydrating essences/toner!!!
Love this! I’ve tried a total of 4 out of the group that you’ve showcased today because of this video: Secret Key, Pyunkang Yul, Bioderma, and Hadalabo. I loved all, however, my favorite in order is: Pyunkang Yul, Secret Key and Bioderma come in at a tie, and then the Hadalabo. Thank you so much for all of the wonderful recommendations! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Moni M where did you shop them??
What type of skin are you?
Renee, your channel has changed my skin for the better. Going to the Beauty section at department store has been so overwhelming and I have always left with stuff I didn't need and the products never help my problem areas. This is also my first UA-cam comment... just needed to thank for your informative videos.
I think your toner recommendations changed my skinhealth the most! In the past I wouldn't care about toners but thsnks to you I know better know and I can't live without! Thanks for putting so much effort ❤😊
I love how she talks and carefully give bits of information, something that will retain in your mind. 😍
I’m glad that you have included the Klair’s supple toner. I ordered this and it irritated my skin so I ordered the unscented version with no essential oils. I love it and I can use the fragranced version on my chest, neck and hands. I will keep Pyunkang Yul on my list for the future because I have several of these products that I adore.
*waiting for her channel to blow up* she deserves so many more followers. Her, Wayne Goss and Lisa Eldridge is all I need in my life from UA-cam
You should let any of your makeup enthusiast fans know that your DIY aloe mist is a great replacement for Mac Fix+ Spray. It's so much more cost effective, too!
Amazing but I agree! It's just that good!
This is what I need a replacement for Mac Fix & Spray. Is there one also that I can purchase? I saw a review Renee did on hydrating toners and she mentioned Farmacy Skin Dew but it is $44. Any others that are great?Thanks Pam
Renee's aloe spray is really easy, and it lasts forever. If you go on Amazon, you can find "George's Aloe Vera Spray Mister." 100% aloe, which I use as the base. Remove some of it, add some glycerine and your favorite facial oil (mine is The Ordinary's Rose Hip). It takes some experimenting to find the perfect balance, but it's SO much cheaper and more hydrating for your skin than Fix+. You can get a big refill of George's Aloe, too, which I did. I've barely had to go into it so far.
RioStar check out Timeless Skincare’s Facial Mists!
Thank you so much for this. Every time I find a hydrating toner, they discontinue it, so it's great to learn about some new options. 🌹👍
Renee, you are a lifesaver for me! My 45 year old skin has been completely revamped over the past few years due to (finally) properly looking after it.
I've added a prescription 0.1% Tretinoin (slowly & sparingly starting off at 0.025%), toners, SUNSCREEN!, chemical exfoliants, masks, AHA/BHA's, dual cleansing, and more.
Thank you for so much incredible & educational information on how to keep our skin looking good as we age. I just wish that I would have started sooner, but I truly didn't know about proper skincare as that was not talked about (nor cared about) in my childhood home. We had the shared & cheap bar soap in the shower and that was what I used on my face & body. Looking back at that, I just cringe. I don't use bar soap any longer (makeup brushes only! LOL).
I eve have my own separate product "stash" in the shower that I share only with my husband and he knows that they're all "off limits". Haha. I've tried to get him to do the bare minimum skincare with sunscreen and he flat out refuses. So, when I look 50 when I'm 80 and he looks 85...I'll finally have the "I told you so" moment. He's a chronic golfer, so it's even more important that he uses it on his face, neck and arms. I can't force a gown man, though.
#Scorpio. (And I'm a Taurus! Hahaha!!)
I do have one big question after this small novel - I'm so sorry for my ramblings. I'm just so grateful for your continued guidance.
Q: I've been seeing the same ingredients pop up in toners and was wondering your thoughts about them: *butylene glycol, carbomer, octyl dodecanol, isohexadecane, dodecane, isoeicosane, octadecane, tetradecane.*
Are these good, bad, or placebo ingredients? They mostly end in -cane & -sane. I have heard conflicting reports about butylene glycol. Isn't cane = sugar? Or does that not apply to skincare? 🤷🏼♀️🙈
Some reviews are rave and some are rant.
Can you possibly help shed some light on the -canes/-sanes ingredients, please?
Thank you!!! 💞❣️🤗
I have tried so many of these product recommendations and from other videos and I LOVE them. Best of all, I don’t think I have loved my skin more in my life. Thank you!!!!
Thank you yet for another wonderful and very informative video. Since I tried the 7 skin method my skin never felt so hydrated. I mean doing the 10 step routine I thought that was enough but adding the 7 skin method I never looked back. Thanks Renee for this recommendation of toners I already have one that I'm using but I'm looking that is Renee approved. 😊
Thank you so much! Yes, not sure I've ever had such 'bouncy' skin! So happy to hear you're loving it!
Please do a full video going through/reviewing any Cosrx products. I really value your opinion when it comes to the things i purchase.
THANK U A MILLION TIMES!!!!!!! Your videos are always full with so much amazing info and products for me to learn all about and im beyond appreciative that you take the time to share your knowledge with us. No other blogger has saved my skin like you have!!
Yes! I was hoping you'd make a video like this. I keep reading about the 3-skin method (I think would work better for me) everywhere. I ordered the Whamisa Toner (the regular version) to replace my nearly-empty May Coop Raw Sauce.. I'm excited for it to arrive!
calliopticon I just ordered the Whamsia as well. But tomorrow my May Coop Raw Sauce will arrive as well. Been curious about that one for awhile. I ordered the small size to be sure I like it. Do you like the Raw sauce?
I really liked it! It's quite thin and watery and I've almost always used it as a first treatment essence mixed with a drop of my Hada Labo Shirojyun and patted in right after cleansing unless I used an active. It has a very mild herbal smell that I actually enjoyed and I'm not much for any scent. It was definitely hydrating and added some plumpness to my dry, sallow skin type. The reason I'm branching out is pretty much that I'm just curious! It wasn't an insta-HG but I enjoyed it and didn't want to replace it with just anything but the Whamisa is so well loved I thought I'd try. Even the small size of the May Coop has a very heavy glass bottle that makes it feel luxe and I like having it out on my dresser. I would recommend it!
same here , excited for my whamisa toner to arrive!
Love that we all ordered the Whamisa ! Mine arrived earlier this week and I love it already :)
I have the regular version and I love it!
I immediately had to rush to buy the Pyungkang Yul toner! I live love medicinal, multifunctional products, so I'm very excited to try it!
I think I'm going to get my hands on a couple of the new Blithe essences... this one might be a bit heavy, for my skin, but Blithe ALWAYS knocks it out of the park. The splash masks are still one of my grail products!
I'd love to see a new anti-aging favorites video! I'm turning 30 soon, and I'm wanting to incorporate more innovative anti-aging products into my line-up, but so many of them (that I've tried) seem so heavy and leave me a bit oily as the day wears on...
Thanks again! SO many awesome products to try! ❤
Thank you so much love
I've tried the 7 skin method and let me tell you !!! oh my God !!!! my skin feels amazingly glowy and instantly healthier and very hydrated !!
I needed this video right now since I'm searching for a new toner
Yes! The glow is real!
I am a brand new subscriber. I found you from a skin care group on Facebook recommending the 7 skin method. Now I'm up to my eyeballs in fantastic information and am about to overhaul my entire routine. I have super dry, maybe dehydrated skin (still learning). Every word is useful and you give us the information quickly. I've actually been pausing the videos to take notes. Lol. So glad I found your channel.
I got my friend a gift set to start the 10 step skin care. Gave her the instructions... As She calls herself (scattered brain). I sent her your link with your nighttime routine. She texted me and said verbatum: I love her, I'm hooked! I wanna buy every one of them... Damn you! I just replied : isn't she awesome? I binged on her videos. And I will take that darn you as a compliment and so as Renée... Have a good day! 😊
Not sure whethe anyone experienced this, but i think i have little tiny bumps appearing on my skin after using any hydrating toner... or maybe it's just my period. But this is possibly the most informative review in the entire youtube!!!!
Hallo! I love your videos, you opened a complete new world to me! I was shocked to find out that water in toners is not a good thing! Here in Italy it is impossible to find one without it being the main ingredient... thank god for your DIY toner!
she always makes me feel like I need everything. the way she describes the products with the ingredient break down. I will buy everything she suggest.
Your videos are super informative! Love each one and have used the info and suggestions you make to clam my adult acne and have passed along to my friends! My next step is to help get rid of the scarring and work on anti again.
You saved my skin. Been using the bioderma hydrabio Tonique lotion (blue) for a year now. Best complements I have recieved so far. Thank you
Your awesome! Please never stop making UA-cam videos! You have introduced me to the seven step and have made my life with The Ordinary and understanding it just so easy! I really love your work and look forward to your new videos!
I have been using the Klairs supple preparation facial toner recently and it works wonder on my combination-type skin! It makes my drier part of my skin smooth and hydrated whilst it doesn't make my skin oily! Great product for real ❤️
I just ordered the Pyunkang Yul toner & facial cleanser! They sounded too good to pass up 😍. Thank you Miss Gothamista! 🙏💕
Congrats on hitting 100K subscribers!! This is just the beginning. You're going to have many many more! I tell everyone about you! Keep it up!
You've got it all - articulate, knowledgable and with all types of skin. Kudos - love your channel!
I'd love a video on vitamin C. How do I effectively include it in my skincare routine and which products would give me results without stressing my sensitive skin. My skin's texture is uneven in my acne prone area and I have hyperpigmentation from acne breakouts.
I am a recent watcher and now diehard fan! My skin has changed and very irritated, red, almost eczema or rosecau symptoms. I usually have combination skin but the last year just really red warm cheeks. So I have binged your videos for 5 straight days taking notes like a nerd and rewatching multiple times. I just splurged on myself with many of your recommended items and really hope to try 7 skin method and pray it helps! I used rosehip oil yesterday for the first time but my skin either is purging or irritated because of it. Just really needing relief because my skin is dry, tight, inflamed, and red with raised bumps. Thank you for your videoss, you have so much knowledge I am just hoping to learn some tricks! Thank you!
Omg I've been needing a video like this! I've been really into the idea of using 7 toners to boost skin hydration but I didn't know what kind of toners would be the best one. Love the video :)
Perfect timing! I just was thinking I should stock up on some more toners because I have been doing the 7skin method for about two months and I am HOOKED. My super, super dry skin is from hypothyroid disease. I still love, love, love the Ooloo Jasmine moisture liquid. The Klairs is nice and has a more clinical scent. I have a huge kit from Ohui. I bought during a super huge Valentines Day sale. I am hoping I like it.
Do keep me posted on those! I also LOVE the Oolu toners and they were included in this video, ofcourse, but I had to remove them because I found out that memebox was no longer going to stock them and really, there's nowhere else to buy them. So SAD!
Every time I watch one of your videos I just want to leave a comment saying how much I love your approach!
Good morning. Love videos like this. So helpful and yours are excellent. Here's a tip from another skin care video on youtube that you might like. It enhances the use of toners in any skin care routine. It has to do with the ORDER in which products are used, rather than which products are used. The order is wash, either double or exfoliate, then dry and put on serums, LET THEM DRY, and THEN spray on your toner and while your face is still wet, apply moisturizers. This helps to seal in the treatments and keep skin hydrated for longer periods of time at a stretch.
I didn't even watch it yet but I feel so satisfied
Haha!
I actually tried using Hada Labo for 7 skin methods and it was amazing! I simply used two drops each time. It was just a little bit tacky after several layers but it made my skin plumped and so hydrated! My skin glows all day! ♡
PS. I have very sensitive, combination and acne-prone skin.

You are my skin guru. I literally walked out at the beginning of the video when you said drinking tea helps and made a cup of matcha tea. I had to start the video over because I forgot to pause it...LOL.
You are so well spoken, I thoroughly enjoy watching you videos! Thank you for creating such informative content 😊
Renee!! I been using the klairs for almost 2 years now & since you introduced pyungkal yul I bought it right away and you know what the finishing is true to your words! feeling silky like rice bran. Thanks for the recommendation renee 💙💙
Lady, you are awesome. So thorough and informative!! I've been watching your videos nonstop, so much so that I've crashed my UA-cam several times. My skin was so congested and thanks to your breakdown of different types of acne and how to properly cleanse the face, my skin is almost back to normal. I'm patiently waiting for my Hemish balm to come in the mail! Thank you so much and keep the great videos coming!!!!!
I've actually been using Mario Badescu facial spray for this. It doesn't feel tacky and is more convenient as a spray. I really love this method, even been incorporating this in my clients facial treatments and they all love it 😊
Thank you so much!!! I’ve been using Olivarriet for a year and love it, so I’m excited to see it still meets your approval.
I stay in love with your videos! I discovered your channel a week ago and I love it. I am Spanish and I have a Korean routine. I use a lot of the products you show, especially Blithe. Thank you very much for your videos, I learn a lot. Many kisses.
I just ordered the Whamsia one and the Blithe Vital treatment. If you sign up for the email you bet 10% off and because it was over $50 I got free shipping. The site also has a cool rewards program. Very thankful I found you and your channel. I have normal to dry skin and at 44 I know the mo moisturized and hydrated my skin it, the healthier and more youthful I look. I already have a good skin care regime but I'm interested to see how the 7 step method will step up my game. I use the Indie Lee coq10 toner now and just ordered the DHC Coq10 one. Looking forward to adding these two in the mix
I can't wait to hear what you think!
Hi. I love your informative videos!!! Can you do an updated summer skin care routine video? I would love to see what you are using during this time of year! Thank you for educating everyone on you tube about skin care products!💗
I have combination skin and seem to have been having fantastic luck with the Neogen Calendula toner. My face is flawless and although I haven't tried the 7 Skin method yet, it would be a good option. I just ordered the May Coop Raw Sauce to replace my Shiseido essence. I have recommended your channel to all my skin care friends!
Thank you so much Pamela!
I started trying this with my rosewater spritz, and have been BLOWN AWAY by the difference it's made already. I've got the Earth's Recipe & Blithe winging their way to me in NZ... can't wait to try the bouncier kind of toner. After watching Glow Recipe's FB live video, these two were flagged as fragrance-free (perfume really riles up my skin). Compulsively checking my mailbox! xx
keep me posted!
Thanks for showing so many options!! Very helpful vid!
Loved how you explain each one. That really helps making a choice. Thank you and you’re amazing!
Im new to your channel and im really amazed of your content.
Its knda hard having a dry skin in the hospitality industry. That's why im so greatfull for this video.😊
I just found your channel and I’m totally obsessed! Thank you for all the information! I’ve been dying to try this method and now I know where to start and what products to use.
Just wanna say that I love your vibe :-) I'm still fairly young (23) & I have been into my skin care for a couple years now but I am planning on bettering my routine & videos like yours have really helped me have confidence that I will find good products that suit me :-) so THANK YOU for making videos sending u positive vibes 💞
You're like a walking skincare-beauty- encyclopedia ... hahaha luv all your videos! Amazing how you explain things in such detail and yet easy to understand! Xoxo
This is such an outstanding video! You're always giving so much substantial information. Love it!!! Moi from Canada
I am obsessed with all of your videos 😩
Wow, so helpful!! I still have not incorporated a toner into my routine but I plan on purchasing one of these suggestions!
keep me posted, girl!
Congrats on your 100k subscribers! You so deserve it and I loveeeee watching your videos and I can't wait to see your channel flourish even more 💖💖
Always so genuine and informative, which I truly appreciate about you Renee. I learn a lot from your videos. Can you please do a video on products that can help with taking down redness or spider veins?? Thank you so much!
Thank-you for this videos . Have been searching for a hydrating toner. love how you explain everything in detail
Rewatching your vides because they are very informative!!! Plus, your voice is just so soothing!
Best skincare channel by far
This has been an extremely informative video. Also, you have the most soothing voice ever - you should be narrating audio books!! :)
Oh yay!! Thank you Renee for making this video. I was just stabbing in the dark when considering what toners to use & this video was perfect for clarity!
happy to hear that!
Thank you for your lovely videos. If you can, please share where you get information about how different substances affect and interact with skin. I'd love to read more in depth on the subject, but it's hard to find reliable information online. Thank you!!!!
Loooooove all of your videos!! I already bought the whamisa, earth recipe and hada labo. I layer them and love them with the oola ginseng mist too! Another one you recommend as well in another video. Love your product opinion and information! U r the best.
YESS!!! You are truly embracing this and must have the bounciest cheeks in existance!
Love your recommendations!! 🙌🏼
I used the Habo Labo toner and it worked out very well. I love this method!!!!
Thank you!! 😍
I tried the olivarrier....omg thank you...its amazing...my skin loves the product...
I have just subscribed a couple of days ago and just love your channel! You are informative and give recommendations on whats best for our skin and not push high end products. High end products I'm sure are good but you give us more choices that we can afford. I am trying to catch up on ALL your videos😁. Thank you for what you do for us ladies😊
I built my skincare routine based on your recommendation and my skin has gone so much better ❤️❤️❤️. I have similar skin type to yours ( combo dry sensitive, a bit oily when in summer) I love pyunkang Yul toner and whamisa toner so much. I took my pyunkang toner to camping a while ago, the place we went was dry and cold this year , normally my skin doesn’t react well to dry windy climate. I layered the toner the night before, followed by Blithe mushroom moisturiser ( another of your recommendation) . Ahh my skin was so plumped and smooth the next day ( we go to this place for camping every year and my skin was always dry because of the ultra dryness) I was so impressed. Thank you so much for sharing all these goodies with us.

i have been using dears one. but i can't find it except in travel size. i love it and the bounce cheese toner cream . i have dry mature skin and it really plumps up my skin during the day . I am going to get the last one you mentioned i think that would be great for 2 or 3 layers . i find the 7 layer does not take very long. I am more into skin care than makeup since i hit 46 . i can go without makeup and its not bad . love your videos
"i can go without makeup, and it's not bad"
I bought the essence toner from pyunkang yul, I can't wait to try it tonight!
renee thank you so much for this very informative and helpful video ! you are an angel sent from heaven!
Congratulations on the first UA-cam's finishing line! Finally 😘
Omg thanks for all the options. Ranging from the high to low! Especially low.
U just gain new subscriber! Omg u are so informative thanks darl! i have oily acne prone yet dehydrated skin so i struggle to find product tht wont break me out or make me super dry. Thanks darl for all infos n tips! 😘😘
I knew you were going to love the Blithe 8 beans!!! 🤗 Totally hooked to it, I am dying to try out the Whamisa toner but can't get it in Europe - on my wishlist for my next US trip 😎☺️ Have a wonderful day gorgeous ☀️🌷
I love you girl. I am a newbie in skincare things and your channel really help me a lot
You look gorgeous as always! I'm definitly going to try the 7 skin method. Thanks for another great video!
I use a vitamin C toner and Serum it works well, ( the combination works very well ) my concern is wether I should be using products with fairly high levels of vitamin C in them during summer (I am black and live in toronto )
Love all your videos ,have always love all things Asian. Happy to hear your recommendations .I would like to hear more on aged skin . Thanks
The more options the better. That way everyone is bound to find something. My skin adores green tea so I'm keen to find out if I can purchase that at all in the UK. I also have an odacite green tea toner which might work, I will need to look at the ingredients. Thank you again, could never tire of listening to you.
Please do a video on large pores and toners or other skin care treatment options to tackle them. Please! :) Thank you x
Wow! The Whamisa is so fragranced! Usually I will say " no way" ! Let the hives and itching begin... but no way!! NO IRRITATION at all, and it's beautiful..
Laura Covolus I have highly sensitive skin as well. In fact there is so much I am allergic to and I didn't have any issues with the Whamisa toner either. Isn't it wonderful? ☺
It's is!!! I would've bet that I was going to get hives.. but nothing!!!
That's what's crazy about it. Even those who dislike fragrance or sensitive to it still love Whamisa. It is all natural not synthetic fragrance though.
Oh, Renee, you are definitely a skincare guru! Love your videos and safe my life :D
the aloe vera diy is super amazing omgg i love it so much❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
