as a European, it made me excited to see that you're using the Geek & Gorgeous vitamin c! i can't get my hands on the Maelove one, so i've been eyeing this for a while. gonna pick it up once my The Inkey List one is done.
I always enjoy ur videos it’s so interesting and educational for me ..you actually give the breakdown of products it’s textures to its smell to it’s worth...ur such an amazing woman of class and talent... I appreciate u all the time..!
I watch quite a few skincare UA-camrs, but none get me as excited to try new skincare like you do! Your recommendations are always phenomenal. Thank you for the time you put into researching products with beautiful formulas and for sharing your knowledge.
Just purchased the Geek & Gorgeous - C-Glow! I am so impressed with the formulation. As a plus, it's a European cruelty-free brand! So cool :) I actually ordered their Niacinamide Serum as well. Thank you for featuring the Geek & Gorgeous!
I started using Paula's Choice after I saw your in depth review of Paula's Choice products. And my skin is doing a lot better now! I started with PC BHA9 that really did the job of smoothing the stubborn bumps on my forehead that no other product could do successfully and now have bought many of their products. Thank you for all your great recommendations!
In my house it doesn't matter if I'm indoors or outdoors. I have huge bay windows so we have some serious amount of sun light coming through every day so its SPF for me all the time and the only time it comes off is when I actually am going to go bed not before that at all.
That Paula’s Choice moisturizer looks like magic so cool! Thank you for inspiring me to be gentle with my skin. Self care is so important and I love learning about different products, cannot wait to try layering products especially adding an eye cream!
Your videos transmit such good vibes and calmness, I'm literally binging them as soon as they appear! Keep up the good work you incredible woman! (and thanks for doing a routine video, I know I was one of perhaps many that wanted you to do one!)
I would love to see what your summer daily makeup looks like these days!! I loved your drugstore favorites video and all your new content lately. Your channel is amazing and TYSM!!!
Hello dearest Rene, ı got courage from you to use first of vitamin c serum and then a moustrizing serum (which is including niacinamide peptides glucans) in same routine.. this summer my morning routine will be like : Washing my face with cold water + Missha Vita C Toner + Klairs Fundamental Watert Oil Drop + Spf .. definetly waiting new version of this. It is not enough to thank you million of time:) Thank you Rene and I hope all is well
I always learn something new from your you tube videos, whether it be a product, brand or website to explore. The Bluh Alchemy products look beautiful. I live in Australia and I was interested in how many native Australian ingredients she uses in the formulations. I actually looked up their site to se where the brand was from and was surprised that it was the US. She knows her plants! Thank you Renee. 🥰
I was so excited to use this one. I like it even more than the luminous one, it's a little more creamy and feels so great! Their entire line is so incredibly good.
Renée, I agree with the class comment but you are also incredibly entertaining, charismatic while your videos are still informative. All while gently incorporating black owned beauty!! How do you do that? Chapeau! I've been using the C Glow for a couple of months. I'm super impressed - normal/oily skin 😅
I love how you always recommend products that are not on hype. This is what as always unique and what I love about you. Your recommendations are always the best!
Thank you so much for adding the cruelty free status of each product. So helpful for those of us who refuse to buy from companies who use animal testing ❤️
Yaaaay! I’ve ordered myself the G&G vitamin C (among other things from them) a month ago. Waiting patiently for it to arrive. So happy you gave it a thumbs up ❤️❤️❤️
Being hungarian, I love that you love G&G C- glow,makes me feel so proud🥰 I myself have actually switched to this from Timeless 20%, and I am on my forst bottle. I do have a question for you : I have an essence (Cosrx Galactomyces 95 tonr balancing essence) . Does it come before vitamin-c or after? Thanks so much for any info, even from viewers 😘
Hi! The paulas choice seems very interesting However it does have dimethicone. Doesn’t that clog pores or bad for your skin? What’s your thought on this?
Would you say that the ceramide moisturizer has a good return policy in case it doesn’t work for me. I usually get occlusive bumps with some creams when I use them in top of my serum’s and I want to order it.
Really excited fort the mid day blue uv shield im reading on their website that it's even good for sensitive skin but when I read the ingredients I see fragance. Why do they do this!? Just skip the fragance pls :c sensitive skins can't handle it and they don't bring any benefits to the formula
I really wish brands would stop putting fragrance in everything. But with the Klairs UV, fragrance is the last ingredient in the list so it's not very prominent at all. Either way, I wish it wasn't added.
I read somewhere that you shouldn't use vitamin c, retinol and any active acid during summer, like AHA because it has bad long term effects in skin. It also says that vitamin c doesn't make the sunscreen work better. What do you think?
Hi Gothamista !!! Your first link is linked wrongly, it leads to the "Mid Day Blue UV Shield" by Klairs instead of "Pure Vitamin C 15% with Ferulic Acid" by wishtrend
Thank you for the video. Do you recommend using an eye cream w spf during the day? Or do you just cover your eye area w your face sunscreen or do you just avoid the eye area when it comes to sunscreen altogether? Thank you
Love this. Never heard of geek and gorgeous before. Just checked their website. Would love to try the vigamin c serum. And a huge yess to sunscreen favourites 🥰
I didn’t get an alert for this, Renee,happy I stumbled upon it! 🙂You never fail to lift my spirits. Take care of yourself! P.S. Are you excited about the new Deciem launch? I really am!! Also curious if you've tried Charlotte Cho’s new line from Soko Glam, Good (skin) days, particularly the C’s the day serum? I picked it up after running out of my L-ascorbic acid powder, too early to have a fully formed opinion, but I have noticed how soft my skin is. In regards to masking, when I'm not wearing medical-grade I will definitely be ordering a silk mask for obvious comfort reasons.
I always look forward to your wonderful videos....I reached out to NOID after purchasing the Survival 0 and they told me to not use the Survival 0 with Vitamin C ( L-Ascorbic Acid). Thanks !
Hi love! I don't now enough about the consultation you had for complete context as to why they might have advised you to separate the survial 0 and L-AA, but I was told differently from my contact at Deciem who believes the same thing I do, which is they make a powerful antioxidant pairing. Formula- wise there is also nothing that conflicts or contraindications between S0 and L-AA! Hope that clears things up!
Gothamista I reached out again through their website and got a totally different answer...it’s been confusing...I actually printed the first response and reread it to see if I was mistaken! I’m going to try it with my L-AA. Thanks!
Hi! i have the beneath your mask lip balm, and mine looks like it has exfoliating beads in it. does yours? I couldn't tell by the swatch. It makes me nervous that maybe mine has gone bad? I just received it a few weeks ago.
Thanks for another fab video, Renee! Always enjoy your suggestions and analysis. I’ve come across a brand that is intriguing - would u consider reviewing some items from the Irish brand SkinGredients? I love the Pro Prebiotic Cleanser and am interested in the rest of the line, too. 💕✨
I just picked up NIOD's Survival 0 after watching this! Thank you for the recommendation; can't wait to try (I don't want to oxidize either)! P.S. I extra love how it's just the right price to get free shipping ;-)
I don't really suffer from anything with my eyes unless they're puffy or baggy (tired/not enough sleep) Do eye creams actually do anything? Or can you just use a moisturiser?
An abundance of beauty and class ❤️
Wow, thank you so much my friend 💛🤗
..."I do NOT plan on oxidizing!" 😂😂
My hero!
😂😂
@@gothamista Do you recommend the Mandelic and vitamin c for dark skin? I don't know anything about this brand...
This Woman can literally sell me anything! And im not mad at it cause everytime I spend money on products she recommends, they’re always my Favorite!
Same here, & being that I'm in the beauty industry that says a lot.
*adds everything to shopping cart*
right!
as a European, it made me excited to see that you're using the Geek & Gorgeous vitamin c! i can't get my hands on the Maelove one, so i've been eyeing this for a while. gonna pick it up once my The Inkey List one is done.
The G&G one is really impressive!
axreason I just received my maelove vitamin C

Yay! A new video from Renee. Always fantastic. Please do more videos. Maybe one on your favorite anti-aging Products and face/sheet masks. ❤️
I am always in awe of how amazing your skin is!
I love this girl. She is so thorough and classy.
In my house it doesn't matter if I'm indoors or outdoors. I have huge bay windows so we have some serious amount of sun light coming through every day so its SPF for me all the time and the only time it comes off is when I actually am going to go bed not before that at all.
I could listen to you all day 😍
PENN.SMITH.SKINCARE LLC Same! So calming and knowledgeable. Love her descriptive words. She’s a gem on here for sure. 🙏🏼💚
You could’ve gone on for an hour and I would not have budged. You are my skincare consultant. Already have Klur on my buy list. Thank you again.
JoAnne Wells Same! 😂
That Paula’s Choice moisturizer looks like magic so cool! Thank you for inspiring me to be gentle with my skin. Self care is so important and I love learning about different products, cannot wait to try layering products especially adding an eye cream!
I look forward to all your skin care routine!!!! So excited.
loving the video quality and the lighting!
Yay thank you! I'm trying to get used to filming in new surroundings with different daylight exposure - still a complete amateur!
Your videos transmit such good vibes and calmness, I'm literally binging them as soon as they appear! Keep up the good work you incredible woman! (and thanks for doing a routine video, I know I was one of perhaps many that wanted you to do one!)
Love your videos! They are such a joy especially in these times :). Thanks for sharing and please stay safe!
Aw thank you, this makes me so happy. Keep well and safe!
please post often i miss your content so much ❤ like budget skincare, brand review and exploring more product
Thank you! I'm working on it - lots of what you mentioned to come!
I don’t think I’ve ever been to a video this early
The PC electrolyte water moisturiser is just stunning. I need it in bigger tubes!
Agreed! I'm already finished with mine!
I would love to see what your summer daily makeup looks like these days!! I loved your drugstore favorites video and all your new content lately. Your channel is amazing and TYSM!!!

I really appreciate the amount of cruelty-free and/or vegan products you use and recommend. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You really know how to set the standards for the rest of us. Thank you for your honesty and knowledge.🌹
Thank you for the Kosmetic Immunity share. I use their other moisturizer and their toner. Can't wait to try this.
I was so excited to use this one. I like it even more than the luminous one, it's a little more creamy and feels so great! Their entire line is so incredibly good.
Great curation always! Such glowing skin! Tea is finished!

Please talk more about geek and gorgeous! Just went to their website and the products seem great, have and amazing price point and ship in the eu!
clicked immediately when i saw this!!! i love watching your updated skincare routines ❤️
Thank you Felice!
shes the responsible of making me spend all my money in everything she recommends. I love everything I've bought tho
Yay! so happy you've found formulas your skin loves!!
Your videos always exceptional Renee and so relaxing with the added music. Would love to see a Klur brand review. Do you ever see yourself doing one?
you're the definition of classy
omg thank you!! 😭🙏
Ooh yes!
I learn a lot from you, love all that I got after your recommendation/review. My skin says THANK YOU.
Really interested in trying the Klur! Will have to pick that up!
Oh I want to try both of these vitamin c serums. Oh I want that survival 0 as well. I love your videos btw
I got my Survival 0 last week and I love it! Thank you for the thorough Niod review
Yaaaay! I’ve ordered myself the G&G vitamin C (among other things from them) a month ago. Waiting patiently for it to arrive. So happy you gave it a thumbs up ❤️❤️❤️
Being hungarian, I love that you love G&G C- glow,makes me feel so proud🥰 I myself have actually switched to this from Timeless 20%, and I am on my forst bottle. I do have a question for you : I have an essence (Cosrx Galactomyces 95 tonr balancing essence) . Does it come before vitamin-c or after? Thanks so much for any info, even from viewers 😘
Essences prepare your skin for everything you’re going to put on, so any actives should go after. Essence first! 😊
@@jamiedanae2550 thank you! So it does not lower tha vitamin-c's efficacy? It does not dilute it then?
Fellow proud Hungarian.. As I know activities go first as they should be closer to the skin so can work better
Ágnes Juhász I’d say allow the essence to absorb before using vitamin C 🙂 I don’t know what Renee’s advice would be though, I hope she responds!
Yaay more hungarian skincare junkies
would you consider doing an updated sunscreen video?
What are your thoughts on Sonya Dakar's blue butterfly balm? Is it effective in red reduction and hydration?
Hi! The paulas choice seems very interesting However it does have dimethicone. Doesn’t that clog pores or bad for your skin? What’s your thought on this?
I just use a moisturizing sunscreen over my vitamin C... I’m quite oily and I figure I can skip a step.
Would you say that the ceramide moisturizer has a good return policy in case it doesn’t work for me. I usually get occlusive bumps with some creams when I use them in top of my serum’s and I want to order it.
The Klairs blue one seems to have a lot of negative reviews, saying it's drying and leaves a white cast with it being physical.
I want to know where you got your mask!? The medical/COVID mask you talked about
An elegant skincare video 💖
Yes!!! I’ve been waiting for this video!
Renee, would you say you've found a vitamin c that you love as much as you love the Skinceuticals CE Ferulic?:)
At 5:42 are you saying "forget about it" to sunscreen?
My friend and I are debating :p
Sigh I’m so glad that your face is normalizing... mine is actually breaking out cause of the mask irritating my skin 😫😔
My mask causes a ton of sensitivity because of the friction ☹️
Same 😭
Really excited fort the mid day blue uv shield im reading on their website that it's even good for sensitive skin but when I read the ingredients I see fragance. Why do they do this!? Just skip the fragance pls :c sensitive skins can't handle it and they don't bring any benefits to the formula

Like always great job. Could you please make a video of body sunscreen for 2020.
Hi Gothamista
!!! Your first link is linked wrongly, it leads to the "Mid Day Blue UV Shield" by Klairs instead of "Pure Vitamin C 15% with Ferulic Acid" by wishtrend
Fixed! Thanks for letting me know!
Gothamista 🥰
Please review some iS Clinical products! :) (particularly Active Serum and Pro Heal Serums)
That klairs sunscreen sounded good until it said added fragrance :(
It’s very low on the list. I have it and I can’t smell anything on it
Thank you for the video. Do you recommend using an eye cream w spf during the day? Or do you just cover your eye area w your face sunscreen or do you just avoid the eye area when it comes to sunscreen altogether? Thank you
can’t wait for ur spf video!!
Which morning cleanser would you recommend?
Can you try brands like MCaffiene , Mamaearth , Dr.Sheths , and Himalaya . They have good ingredients and worth a try definitely:)
Love this. Never heard of geek and gorgeous before. Just checked their website. Would love to try the vigamin c serum. And a huge yess to sunscreen favourites 🥰

Loved this video so much. Thanks for sharing ♥️
In addition to noting if they are vegan and cruelty free (thank you for doing that), can you also note if they are fragrance free? Thanks!

Yes I love new skincare routines
Hi, do you have any idea how to get rid of dark spots? tia
Hi! i have the beneath your mask lip balm, and mine looks like it has exfoliating beads in it. does yours? I couldn't tell by the swatch. It makes me nervous that maybe mine has gone bad? I just received it a few weeks ago.
You and Hyram are just amazing
Thanks for another fab video, Renee! Always enjoy your suggestions and analysis. I’ve come across a brand that is intriguing - would u consider reviewing some items from the Irish brand SkinGredients? I love the Pro Prebiotic Cleanser and am interested in the rest of the line, too. 💕✨
Oh this is dangerous! Thank you for the rec, I will check it out!!
yes pls sunscreen video! can you also included some options of sunscreen that kinda make you look better?
I just picked up NIOD's Survival 0 after watching this! Thank you for the recommendation; can't wait to try (I don't want to oxidize either)! P.S. I extra love how it's just the right price to get free shipping ;-)
Just ordered the Beneath Your Mask lip remedy so looking forward to it even more now. Would like advice on irritation around mouth/masked area.
Thanks for the introduction to new products!! If I am having sensitized skin, should I pause on the vitamin c?
Can you show us which triple filter face mask you’re using please? 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍
I don't really suffer from anything with my eyes unless they're puffy or baggy (tired/not enough sleep) Do eye creams actually do anything? Or can you just use a moisturiser?
Thank you for a summer skincare update. Would you do an ampoule update.
I saw in the Deciem website for Niod Survival 0 as described for night time use. But you used it during the day. Is it OK to use during the day?
Another great video, thank you @gothamist. Can you please share which mask you are using? Does it have UV protection?
hi Renee, do you have a reccomendation for antioxidant serum apart from the 2 that you have already mentioned? thank youu
Can you put vitamin c up under your eyes? I use the timeless 20%
Love Geek & Gorgeous - C-Glow!! Thank you for tips!
What do you use to protect your eyelids from the sun?
Why is it yellow? Is it oxidise already?
So excited for the brand kosmetic immunity! They look promising
This is perfect, I was just thinking of searching it this morning!
