Welcome to todays video.. You guys have been asking for my thoughts and feelings on Geek and Gorgeous skincare so here it is... I would love to know what you think of the brand and nay products you have tried so please leave me a comment below.. Sending lots of love xx
I'm so glad you noticed them and dedicated a whole video to this brand!!! I am hungarian myself, I've purchased some of their products and fully, whole heartedly support them, hopefully more and more people will know about these cruelty free, reasonably priced, well-formulated products~ 🌻
Aww thank you so so much hun and I love them so I hope this video helps to spread the word about the brand.. I love that they are cruelty free.. Thanks for watching and sending lots of love from the UK to Hungary xx
As the resident Hungarian, I'm so glad you reviewed G&G! We're not exactly the biggest country so it always blows my mind when I see foreigners using our products hahah. You seemed to like most of their stuff too, which is pretty cool!
As for the products that are still missing from the line-up - as far as I know, they're still developing things (the toner and the face wash are relatively new additions) so I bet we're gonna see an SPF or a moisturiser sooner or later.
Aww thank you so so much for your lovely and informative comment.. I have been so impressed with the line and I cant wait to see what products they come out with next.. Sending lots of love to Hungary xx
Do they sell anywhere else apart from their own website? If I want to try just one or 2 products.
G&G are french ! they're just based in Hungary
@@noursamar8508 Where on Earth did you get that from lol? Did you miss the part where I'm actually Hungarian and know that they've originally partnered up with Helia-D, one of the biggest Hungarian cosmetics manufacturers?
I've never heard of them 😅 I just browsed the website and I think it's great how detailed they describe their products. Super clear about the pH balance of each product and i love how they clearly state what it safe and not safe to use during pregnancy (though I'm not pregnant atm I am trying to not buy a lot products that I would have to throw out when it happens)
Hey hun thank you so much and you totally right, highlighting what is pregnancy safe and what isnt is such a good feature of the site and something which I wish more companies would do as it wouldnt take much effort but would make a big difference to a lot of people.. Sending lots of love xx
Thank you for this review! I have been using few of their products and I just purchased more. I love what they do for my skin - the retinal is doing an amazing job and the cleanser feels amazing on the skin and leaves it super silky and hydrated.
well done Hungary amazing new brand and products!! I hope the brand gets success and looking forward to more new amazing products, retinal A-Game 5 is amazing! cheers from your neighbor in Croatia :)
I totally agree i love their retinal its so good xx
Niiice 😍 I found this brand today through your exfoliator recommendation video then I watched this video. Their calm down exfoliator and joker jelly cleanser are right up my alley! I like everything about the brand overall. Cruelty free, no essential oils, low ph, fragrance free, and they're also very detailed about the products. Thank you! 😊
I love your enthusiasm when talking about skincare.
Aww thank you so so much and thank you for supporting the channel xx
Ahhhhhh thanks to you I discovered this!!!! And I am hungarian, thanks sooooooo much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for this in-depth brand review! Its retinal has been in my radar for quite some time and I decide to buy both strengths together with the cleanser, toner and vit c 🙂
For azelaic acid serum, u can look at Cosdebaha’s 10% one. It has a good runny texture with excellent formula (aloe base, B3, B5). Great addition to any routines without any need to switch out products.
I'd never heard of this brand before, thank you so much for sharing! Purchasing the Smooth Out ASAP. Been using the pumpkin enzyme exfoliator with glycolic and lactic acid from Superdrug and I love the combination
Aww thank you so so much hun and I am so glad you enjoyed the video.. I love the smooth out and I also love a lot of the superdrug own brand products they are so well priced and work really well xx
Super amazing rundown as usual 🤩!! Have never tried GG but gentler exfoliation great for me so love hearing about these guys (been struggling a bit with transitioning from mandelic to stronger. The C looks tempting too but actually heading back to your TO C videos 😁! Thanks again, wonderful video. Have a great day 🧡🤎❤️!!
Aww thank you so so much hun and I hope you have had an amazing week.. I agree it can be hard to transition from a gentle exfoliator to a stronger one as there are not many in the middle so this could be a good option.. Sending lots of love xx
Thank you so much for this video, I purchased a couple of my very first G&G products last week and I’m already delighted by the results: smoother skin, reduction in blackheads, no breakouts or weird pigmentation. And agree on what you said about the Niacinamide serum, I’ve been using the one from The ordinary for a long time and I started looking for something that doesn’t dry me out, and the B-bomb is not drying at all which I love!
Awww amazing, I am so glad you love the products as much as me... They have been so good for my skin and I am so glad to have found the brand xxxx
FINALLY!! So excited for this!! I recently bought A-Game and I'm in the process of building up my usage :)
Aww thank you so so much hun and I am so glad you enjoyed the video.. I will certainly be making some of the products permanent features in my routine in the future xx
Wonderful video, thank you!. I purchased a few products off the back of this. Incredibly generous that you're donating your affiliate commission to charity.
I just placed my order from them last night and it's already on it's way to me in London (estimated delivery tomorrow) I mean WOW this has to be the fastest delivery ever!!
I ordered the Jelly cleanser, Calm Down (the paula's choice BHA is a bit too harsh for me but i still love it for backne), the Apad and the HA 5 rich hehe. I can't wait to try them all, I was absolutely blown away by their ingredients and formulations and I have no idea how I've never heard about it before (thanks random post on reddit). I'm glad that I've made the right decision according to this video haha
Thank you for addressing the issue with skincare companies not labeling the % of their actives!! As someone with sensitive skin, I have to constantly email to ask and wait around for a reply, it’s so frustrating!! Regardless of sensitive skin, people should know what % of what ingredients they are putting on their face!😤
I totally agree hun, I wish they would all be a little more open about the strengths so people can make their own decisions on things which are right for them... sending you lots of love xxxx
Yey, so glad you got to talk about this brand, it just launched this summer in my country and everybody was raving about their products, especially the c glow, i'm currently using their niacinamide serum and plan to get the cleanser and the toner. Maybe after i finish my benzoyl peroxide cream i would try retinal for my acne if i can't get my hands on epiduo
Hi hun.. I am also using epiduo at the moment and loving it.. Geek and Gorgeous have a lot of hype around them but its deserved as they are a great set of products.. The vit c seems to be getting all the love online but I actually think their exfoliators were the stand out products for me. Sending lots of love xx
Formulating a good spf is one of the most demanding processes in skin care. Using most of their products for several months now. They are amazing. Serious brand. I'm sure they are working diligently and scientifically based research before they decide to launch spf. I appreciate professional approach they have. Soooo many high end and You Tube brands failed many times with spf products eager to launch them as to meet the marketing demands. Bravo for professionalism ♥️
Great review, Rob, thank you! After hearing all your comments, i'm going to try the Smooth Out exfoliator and wait for it... the azelaic acid! I'm a fan of azelaic acid as i think it helps my hyperpigmentation and i'm always curious to try new versions. So even if it didn't get your thumbs up, i'm going to give it a go, and will let you know how i get on! Love from Paris xx
Hi hun thank you so so much for watching.. I am so so glad your going to give the brand a try as I love their values.. In terms of the azelaic acid lol I dont think its a bad product all I am just not sure of the effectiveness of it as the scientific testing isnt there to say one way or another.. That being said I cant wait to hear what you think of it and im keeping an open mind so if it works I will be the first to say I am sorry to Geek and Gorgeous lol xx
I have never heard of this brand before, but you tempted me to check it out 😍
Hey Zac, you have to they are so so good and really well priced for the quality of the formulations xx
I love your contents! I’m so happy that I discovered your channel 🥰🥰 kisses from Italy!
Aww thank you so so much hun and thank you for supporting the channel. Sending lots of love from the UK to Italy xx
This brand savec my skin, it needs more recognition I LOOVE IT
I agree they need a lot more love than they get... Sending you lots of love xxxx
It's always exciting to me when there is a new, affordable skincare brand. Although I am definitely a creature of habit... some of these products seem very interesting! Although, I wish the "cheer up exfoliator" had included a 10% mandelic acid instead of 5%. I'm looking forward to seeing these products tried out in videos!
Hi Patti, I hope your having a great week.. I agree with you on the cheer up, its just too similar to the calm down and so I would have liked to have seen it at a 10% to make it more different.. Some of the products will be making permanent features in my routine for sure xx
Hi! Thanks for great review, definitely going to put couple of products on my wishlist ☺️
Haha if your like me hun your christmas or wish list will be a mile long as I keep adding things to mine lol.. Thank you so so much for watching and I am so glad you enjoyed xx
Mad About Skin yes! I’m going to ask my husband for a lot of skincare 🙈 watching your new video right now) you’re so passionate about what you do and hardworking! Really excited to see how your channel will grow, because I’m sure it’s going to happen)
This sounds like a great brand. I haven't seen them in Australia yet, but hopefully won't be long before they're here.
Hi hun thank you so so much for watching and I hadnt heard of them either until a month ago but I have been super impressed.. The do actually ship to Aus though I think there is a min spend to be able to get free shipping and I cant remember what it is.. Sending lots of love from the UK to Aus xx
Geek and Gorgeous is definitely on my radar. So excited for this review. ❤️
Same here.. I have my eye on the cleanser
Aww thank you so so much for watching hun.. Before I ordered from them I was a little sceptical about their shipping but it was so good and they give free shipping when you spend over a certain about which I think is something all companies should do.. Let me know if you do try any of their products and hope your having an amazing Wednesday xx
Its a total dupe for the Drunk Elephant one so if you like that one then you will love this one xx
@@MadAboutSkin Never used Drunk Elephant and due to the negative press, have no interest in trying it.
Thanks for the review! Please review the Boots ingredients line also.
Hi hun thank you so so much for watching and I am planning a review of the Boots line in the coming weeks so watch this space.. Sending lots of love xx
I think that their 15% Vitamin C is great. I actually prefer it to the Paula's Choice C15. It's also much cheaper, with virtually the same ingredients as the the Skinceuticals Vitamin C serum. When kept in the fridge, it lasts along time without changing colour, meaning it does not oxidize quickly. Also their Niacinamide is not irritating or tacky like the Ordinary version.
Hi hun thank you so so much for watching and sharing your experiences.. I have never thought to keep the vit c in the fridge but thats a great tip and your right it is a much nicer texture than the one from PC. Sending lots of love xx
Ooo Geek and Gorgeous can’t wait to hear all about 💖🧡🤎!!!
Hey hun, Happy Wednesday.. I would love to know what you think of the brand once you have watched.. I have been really impressed and I didnt think I would be but there are some Holy Grails in there for sure xx
@@MadAboutSkin Okee doke! I unloaded below (always worry about being a hog, over commenting too lengthily)😁
Thanks for this great review, I would like to try out their vitamin C and niacinamide.
Hey hun no problem at all thank you so so much for watching and you should try the vitamin c for sure.. I fell in love with it and they make it fresh every week so you know your getting a full strength product and not something which has been sat on a shelf for months xx
Can’t wait to purchase the Calm Down after seeing this! I love watching your videos, you exude such a bright & positive energy. Thank you for doing what you do! :) P.s. By now, have you changed your mind about their aPad product?
Following your video, i bought the 20% azeclair serum and the smooth out liquid. The azeclair serum is working wonders on my skin tone. The smooth out liquid gave me a tingle the first time i used it, which is unusual for me as i don't have sensitive skin. Price wise the smooth out is actually quite expensive (30 euros for 100 ml). 100 ml doesn't go a long way if you use the product every day... Shipping came to 15 euros which is not dead cheap but they use DHL which means you get your order quickly. So all in all, a thumbs up. I'll think i'll order more products next time to make the shipping worth it!
They offer free shipping now to the States with a minimum order :-) In case anyone is wondering, that's stopped me from ordering in the past but now especially knowing what's good I'm definitely going to order now
Oh thats so so good thank you so much for the heads up hun and sending you lots of love xxxxx
Nice review. I love the cleanser, it's the gentlest cleanser i've tried that cleanss oiler skin types, i like the cheer up exfoliating toner, though i wish it had 2% bha, i probably won't repurchase after i finished but it's the first chemical exfoliation that i managed to use constantly without iritation at 2 to 3 days, i like the vitamin c very very light, and the niacinamide lighter then to and it doesn't pill, i also bought the toner too light for me, but it's soothing after the exfoliation, and the apad too viscous for my taste and it doesn't help my skin as other azaleic acid products. I like the brand, it's very accesible and affordable and has nice formulations.
Aww thank you so so much hun and thanks for watching.. I agree with you on the cheer up, its a great product but I think if they had increased the amount of BHA in it then it would have set it apart from the others a little more.. Hope all is amazing with you xx
Hey! Would you recommend the retinol? I have been using the inkey list one and since it is quite mild was planning on my next one. Would this be a good addition?
Hi! I really want to try Geek & Gorgeous, especially now they have new products, especially the Retinal. At the moment I can't find an alternative at the same price with retinal too
Hi hun thank you so so much for watching and I agree with you they are a much more tempting brand now that they have more options and a wider selection of products.. Sending lots of love xx
I am dying to try this brand but need to purchase enough items in order to avoid the high shipping fee. Love that colour on you Rob!
Thank you so much hun and I know what you mean you have to order in bulk to make it worth it for sure as the shipping is a lot when its international... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Thanx Rob!
Its a pleasure hun thank you so so much for watching xx
Omg you give the commision to charity 👏 well done. The only one that i have known to do this 👌
Yes every little helps and its nice to be able to do something for charity... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Thank you very much for the review. I‘m using the G&G Niacinemide serum for a month now and was curious about the other products, especially the gel cleanser.
Lots of love from Germany x
Aww no problem at all hun I am so so glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful.. I love the niacinamide but for me the cleanser has to be the standout, I know thats boring but I have been looking for a good cruelty free jelly cleanser for so long lol.. Sending lots of love from the UK xx
@@MadAboutSkin In this case I would highly recommend the Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser by Krave. Unfortunately they do not ship to Europe. You would have to buy it on Amazon where it is twice as expensive.
@@cherieffm134 You can actually buy it on barefection.com. They sell all krave beauty products and a lot of korean and Japanese skincare and they are based in the uk.
Haha i like the shirt though i am going to check the playlist to see if you do wear it all the time now 😂 this looks like a good brand to me x
HAHA I think I have worn it in a good few lol.. Hope all is good with you hun xx
Thank you for your kind words. ❤
I love the way you say ding ding ding,mwah mwah,mwah and love love love😘👌❤️ definitely will check Geek and Gorgeous ( that sounds like me hahaha) i feel you are my best friend talking about skin care. xxxx
Haha so so glad you enjoyed the video.. I love the name too, I have always tried to rock the geek chic look but I had the thickest glasses in high school lol so I never managed to pull it off lol.. Sending lots of love x
The founder, Judit Rácz is a qualified geek lol - her original Uni diploma was in IT, she interned for Google in Seattle for a bit, then she worked as an IT consultant in Switzerland for a few years. The reason she got into skincare was because she had stubborn acne and in the process of getting rid of it, she kind of fell in love with the industry and then it just went from there. In case you were wondering where the name comes from :)
Oh thank you very much for the info . Definitely will be checking all the products when I get home xxx☺️
The Ordinary has less microplastics. Geek&Georgous has them except apad. Since this is what I was looking for, thanks for bringing me to this!
Thank you so much for watching and I am so glad you enjoyed the video xxxxx
Love your videos, so informative!
Can the apad be used daily or would it be too much exfoliation for the skin? Thank you! :)
Hey hun thank you so so much and no i thin it would work well daily which is how often i use it as its super gentle... sending you lots of love xxxx
The cheer up peeling is malessizia safe which I love and is really hard to find products. I am definitely gonna try it.
Hey hun thank you so so much for watching and for pointing that out as its really good to know and information I can pass on.. sending lots of love xx
@@MadAboutSkin thanks for the video! I love your channel, I am new to skin care and your recommendations help me a lot!!!
I just got my order from Geek and Gorgeous yesterday and super excited to try it! It was so fast getting the order too! I placed the order last weekend so it was like 4-5 days transit. I live in USA so that is super fast to get the order!! It’s faster than ordering from Sephora lol.
Wow that is super fast and I cant wait to hear what you think of the brand so make sure you keep me posted.. sending you lots of love xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin me: I’m gonna try the aPad for my rosacea!! Also me: I forgot to order the aPad. 😂🤦♀️
@@julieo4580 how has this been working for you
Thanks for the info! I will look into the niacinamide product at some point. I totally agree about Korean sunscreens, I am yet to try one I don't enjoy. While the Purito toner and recovery cream didn't work out due to the witch hazel, the sunscreens, go figure, seem to agree with my skin.
Love the shirt by the way)
Hey! They reformulated their toner to be witch hazel free :)
Aww thank you so so much hun.. I agree with you re the purito though they have taken the witch hazel out of the products recently (I think in the last 2 months) and they work so much better for me now and I think apply better too.. xx
Thank you so so much for highlighting this, I think the reformulation has made the product so so much better.. Have you tried the new formula? xx
@@MadAboutSkin You've got to be kidding me! I ordered the products about a month and a half ago from stylevana and while they are both the unscented essential oil free formulations they both have witch hazel!
I suppose I might try it in several months...thanks for the info though :)
@@SaraHungary thanks for the info! :)
I wish they had this in Sephora, Ulta or Amazon.
Cheer up is a holy grail for me. No stinging or irritation at all, but my skin looks so much better the morning after I use it. I really want to avoid glycolic acid because my skin is quite sensitive and dry.
Are you still loving it :)? I have dry/sensitive skin and would really like to try out this one!
And I’m curious, have you used other products from this brand that you like?
@@ziggy7688 yeah i use c-glow and the hyaluronic acid and i loved them! and their jelly cleanser is prob my favourite cleanser ever
btw make sure u don't use the exfoliant every day even though it's gentle! i use it 2-3 times a week and thats plenty
I found the brand while seeking for a retinal product. I have used Medik8 Crystal retinal so far and I love it, but I don't love its price haha. I am now wondering whether to choose the G&G retinal or Avene A-Oxitive. Would they disappoint me after Medik8?
Hi, I Thanks so much for this review. Love all of yours! I have purchased their Vitamin C Serum , it is really a great product and the Niacinamide as well. I would like to ask you for your opinion- regarding the A Game 10. I have been using retinal from Avene - Ystheal- should be ),1 %- not sure though, but I have read somewhere that Retinaldehyde is only effective combined with HA This one from G&G is not. Have you got any suggestions and could you look into that? I have ordered the Avene Retrinal from Amerika.1%, it has many other ingredients besides Retinal, but way too expensive and with shipping costs ... No more. I would really appreciate your advice regarding The A game 10 .Thanks and lots of love from Belgrade! :)
Hi.. I believe that Avene retinal in Europe is called Avene A-Oxitive night peeling cream ... when comparing the ingredients , both products are exactly the same Hope that helps.
I’m happy and sad at the same time. As a Hungarian its great to see that a local brand is getting the well deserved attention but it’s annoying that it will be sold out everywhere damn it..😅
Haha thats always the problem when the world catches on to a product line, its always sold out.. The same happened here in the UK with the Inkey List which was so annoying.. I was really impressed with G&G and well done to Hungary for creating one of my new favourite skincare lines :) xx
I love your ding ding ding, wash wah wahhhs... 😂
Aww thank you so so much hun and I hope all is amazing with you xx
I love the glow C! Will definitely repurchase this. Have you tried Dr. Sam’s azelaic acid?
Hi hun thank you so so much for watching and no I havent tried it, what is it like and would you recommend it as I just looked online and the ingredients look great xx
@@MadAboutSkin I have not tried it but I want to try it after I’m done with TO azelaic. Would be interested to see your take on it if you ever decide to get it.
Got my first order in today 👏🏼
Ooooh how exciting, i cant wait for you to try all the products.. let me know what you think of them once you have used them for a couple of weeks.. sending lots of love xx
How do you like it two months later?
@@threatlevelmidnight3588
B-bomb, yesss! Still using it
A-game5, cant live without it
C-glow, not using it anymore, melano CC is doing a lot more for my skin
aPAD, not using it anymore, prefer the ordinairy one
Cheer up, not using it anymore, im using the cotton pads from bellamonster and cosrx and the aha of kravebeauty
👍🏻
@@trangdoan6017 thanks for the update!
Hi rob! Hope you are well! I recently received my geek and gorgeous order. I ordered the vit c, along with some other bits. Can’t wait to try them all 😊 I have recently purchased bonajour green tea and peptide moisturiser.. do you think to vit c will cancel out the peptides in that moisturiser? Xxx
Hey hun, I have just checked the ingredients and i think you will be fine as they are stable peptides so should be ok... I cant wait to hear what you think of all the geek and gorgeous products, i hope you love them as much as me... the vitamin c is strong so i would start with every other day to avoid irritation... sending lots of love xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin amazing!! Thank you so much!! So far so good for me 😊 I thought I would have some sort of irritation but obviously my skin is tougher than I first thought haha!! Xxx
Can you do the Elf hemp seed oil line review? I thought it’s fragrance free, so curious!
Hi hun thank you so so much and I have a full review of ELF coming up so I will make sure to include the hemp line in that. xx
Hi, I have a question for you: I use the Buffet serum from the Ordinairy. You said something about the peptides won't work well with the vitamin C serum. I just ordered the G&G vitamin C serum. How do you reccomend to use these two serums ( together) Thank You!
Hi hun thank you so so much for watching and thats a great question.. You have a couple of options, either use the vit c in the morning and then the vit c in the evening which will get around the problem or you could use the peptide as your first serum, allow it to sink in and then apply your other serums which will create a buffer and apply the vitamin c last and that way it wont have too much of an impact.. I hope this helps xx
@@MadAboutSkin Thank you so much for your swift reaction and answer!
Okay you sold me the Calm down :D I was already eyeing it, but I just bought the A-game last time. Next time I'll purchase from them, I will order the Calm down aswell.
Hi hun thanks for watching.. I loved the calm down and whilst I do want something a little stronger some days its going to be my go to when I am having a dry or sensitive skin day for sure.. How did you find the A-game, did you have any dryness or irritation? xx
@@MadAboutSkin I layered it with the Purito centella serum and a ceramide cream and so far no irritation at all, I am quite happy with it :)
I've been using Cheer Up for over a year now and I just realized I love it so much I want to defend it a bit
It's my goldilocks exfoliator. Calm down felt almost too gentle, and anything with Glycolic and Lactic Acid usually irritates my skin, even the First Aid Beauty Pads which are often recommended as a beginners exfoliator. Cheer Up is effective without being irritating and has really helped my skin texture
You have convinced me to try their cleanser, I've been considering it for a bit now
Overall, I really like G&G as a brand. Their products are well thought through, the customer service is super nice, the website lists research for the ingredients used, percentages and pH levels, their packaging is cute, and prices are reasonable. That's incredibly impressive for a small company. I'm not sure I see myself using only minimalist ingredient products, but within the niche of them, G&G is a solid brand I look at.
Hey hun thank you so so much for sharing and for defending the cheer up.. I dont think its a bad product, I do think the other ones would work better for most people but I can totally understand why it worked for you and I am a big believer in if something works the keep on using it.. Thank you so much for watching and sending lots of love xx
I heard that PHA is the best exfoliator when we go up the % of our retinol journey to avoid the retinol uglies as much as possible, is that true? :O
HI hun.. Totally true and I think when you start retinol all your other actives should be as gentle as possible and so I would totally agree with using a pHA as your exfoliator xx
My first impression : I’ve got my order from Hungary to Greece in 3 days. Unbelievable these days and of course very professional.
Question: In my PM ROUTINE can I use cleanser, toner, niacinamide plus zinc (TO), vitamin c 15%, retinol..? From Geek§Gorgeous ? Please correct if it’s to much, or wrong. I’m 55 not very sensitive skin
Don't mix vitamin C and retinal. A. M. Vitamin C and Niacinamide. P. M. Retinal and no acids with it in the same routine. My longtime dermatologist recommendation. Also, avoid layering more than 2 actives in skin routine. Two is already more than enough. This is due to avoiding compromising the skin barrier
Is the cleanser you mentioned a first or second cleanse- sorry if I missed that in your video. Thanks. X
Hey hun its a second step cleanser though a really effective one.. I hope this helps xz
@@MadAboutSkin - thanks, was listening as I work so sometimes I miss bits. Should concentrate on work, but instead loving all your content. Trying to hold off on buying products and go mad on Black Friday!
They said on their Instagram that they’re in the process of developing a sunscreen!
OMG this is amazing news, I hope its as amazing as the rest of their products... sending lots of love xxxx
Can beginners use the 0.05 retinal? Or it’s too irritating?
So, just the cleanser, the retinal and the c-bomb for me then. I wonder whether there is anything in the Face Theory Vit C to break me out? My skin is breaking out less since I stopped using it. Then I tried TO Vit C. And another, Korean one. None as good as FT. But the breakouts and the stickiness.....Geek and Gorgeous here I come......
Hi hun, I dont think there is much in there to break you out but all skin is unique so if you found it did then I would switch to something else and the geek and gorgeous one would be a good place to start... sending you lots of love xxxxx

From UK or companies registered in UK, you have Revox and Revuele, don’t have more than serums that are like “clon” or inspired in the Ordinary, but are so so low cost and I use the Revox vitamin C and Revuele toner, are incredible good for the price (I think are not made in UK, but are registered there)
Hi hun thakn you so so much for sharing, I havent heard of either so I will have to check them out and order a few of the products for sure.. Sending lots of love xx
Yes, they are better than The Ordinary...100%. Affordable too.
I am so glad your loving the products... sending you lots of love xxxx
Estée Lauder and Helena Rubenstein were both Hungarian.
Oh of course though I always think of them as American as they did the majority of their business there and opened their salons in the usa.. I am loving Geek and Gorgeous so Hungary has a great representative in the skincare world with this brand xx
is the cleanser any good at removing mineral sunscreen thats non waterproof
Hey hun great question and yes it will remove all of that providing you massage it into the skin for 60 seconds before washing off. I hope this helps xxx
@@MadAboutSkin thank u !! any info on the retinals ?
i just hope it would take off the paulas choice essential glow its my daily spf can be kinda weird to get off depending on the cleanser
They are great and so hydrating. They have 2 strengths, the 0.05 is good for first time retinol users and the 0.1% for people already using a good strength retinol.. I hope this helps xxxx
💙🙏🏻😘
Thank you so so much for watching hun and I hope all is amazing with you xxxx
This cleanser gave me worst reaction. My face is burning and itching.
