    *TIME STAMPS*
    0:25 *Aloe vera* - For wound healing and cell generation. Look for acemannan, aloe polysaccharide extract or aloe extract, and NOT leaf juice.
    2:08 *Hyaluronic acid* - Hydration.
    2:40 *Trans-resveratrol* - Antioxidant. For redness and acne. Just eat grapes lol.
    3:55 *Lactic acid* - Chemical exfoliation.
    5:00 *Centella asiatica (gotu kola)* - Wound healing (I'm assuming its function is same as aloe vera).
    5:30 *Ceramides* - Natural moisture barrier of skin. For moisture retention and good for eczema.
    6:23 *Ferulic acid* - Antioxidant against UV radiation. Pair with sunscreen.
    7:20 *Azelaic acid* - Free fatty acid. For acne.
    7:58 *Hemp seed oil* - Best as cleansing oil and/or leave-on for body.
    8:50 *Sunscreen* - Duh. Have to get back to work lol.
    In case you want to jump back to review a specific ingredient :p
    I may or may not edit this to include their functions later, depending on my schedule (I'm currently at work shhhh lol)
    Edit: These are just cheat notes for fast reference. Watch her whole video. Very informative. #sciencebabes

      I'm hearing really good things about hyaluronic acid for pumping fine lines on reddit in the skincare addiction subreddit. Just a personal anecdote: I used that sephora bday gift the Drunk Elephant protini moisturizer which has ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and a bunch of fantastic ingredients and my skin never looked so good. I had this natural glow and it didn't break me out. Now I'm not necessarily saying it's just this moisturizer, but I suspect all the ingredients I mentioned really helped because I used the Kale Hyaluronic Acid moisturizer by some other brand who's name escapes me and had similar results. Make sure you use hyaluronic acid on wet skin it sounds weird but makes a big difference.

    It always seems that these skincare commercials keep popping up describing this "magic" oil that will solve all our problems. Even main stream companies come across this way as well. Many of these ingredients are in products from The Ordinary... so I will be placing an order tomorrow!

    I agree with you on sunscreen. I also once heard a dermatologist saying that the best sunscreen is the one you use. It can be great and safe, but if you end up not using it, because it's thick or too white or whatever, then it's useless 🤷🏻‍♀️

    • @imapineapple15
      @imapineapple15 5 років тому +1

      A lot of people have tested and rated sunscreens in the skincare addiction subreddit on Reddit if you are not sure what one is best! I really like the Australian Gold tinted one because it's velvety and dries to a matte finish AND it's a physical sunscreen which spreadability is pretty much unheard of with those! But ya any sunscreen you will actually use is the best sunscreen (except for those cheap brands that aren't actually waterproof)

    Thank you so much for the information! Would love to have a variety of products to pick from that are "Kenna Approved" for each ingredient. Especially for ceramides and ferulic acid. Looking forward to the free fatty acids video!
    Also, is it okay to use a straight oil in a double cleanse? I use ones that are "made" for cleansing and sort of rinse off as a milky texture.

    Kenna, I’m so glad you talked about the sunscreen thing. I just saw my dermatologist and she told me about the potential of it absorbing into the bloodstream. It freaked me out. Like, I’m gonna get cancer if I don’t use sunscreen and I can potentially get it if I do😓😓. It’s exhausting. But I’m gonna keep using it. Thanksx.
