Team Adapalene! I don’t see a difference between regular long-term use of adapalene vs tret for anti-aging and I’ve had it with the occasional “overdid it” with tret so I’m going back to Differin happily once my current tube is done.
It’s seriously so good!! I’ve thought the Sioris deep in a barrier was the heaviest k-beauty moisturizer out there - nice to find a competitor for it AND one that is fragrance-free 😍
Alice! hi! Gotta love the joys of hormonal acne right? I’m experiencing a really bad breakout on my chin and cheek right now. I’ve been applying the peach slices snail mask for 20 minutes rubbed in a little ( it’s SO much easier to wash off, highly recommend ) and then my snail serum + azelaic acid + Cosrx snail moisturizer combo and it’s really been working! I find that stripping my routine back and keeping it hydrated but simple is the fastest way to clear a break out. I also apply a diy BHA mask = clay mask + 3 drops of SA serum to my spots overnight and that works well to give me a whitehead and then I throw a patch on! So glad to see your skin is healing again:)
The sandwich method works out well for me - thanks for mentioning it previously! I use BHA every morning, and I've been adding on adapalene a few nights a week in anticipation of the looming sh*tstorm when I have to go on HRT in a few years. (Yasmin/Yaz with spironolactone are keeping me from oblivion, and other birth control does NOT work for me, yay PCOS.) And yes, any anti-aging benefits are a bonus!
Tip for the Dennis gross strap , I put the strap the other way , so the part u pull to tighten it is in at my head , if I started to pull at it it would still loosen but it seems to secure it a bit better so that I can sit at my kitchen table quite comfortably without holding it or even walk about if im not going to be doing sudden head movements. What worked for me might not work for everyone but if you still have the strap , give it a shot , he definitely should switch to velcro though!! It’s an awful strap made of the silkiest silicone/rubber I’ve ever felt 😂
Hey Alice. How are you liking the Numbizen? I have the 3 essence. Glad you mentioned combo retin a with peptides I had actually thrown on my stratia interface rewind and illyoon with b oil and pray those peptides get in there. The Rosen exfoliation looks interesting and I'm guilty too checking the tracking status all the time. If it's in Georgia you should have it in a day !!!!
Overall, I’m very happy with Numbuzin! My opinions on the specific products I love ended up evening different from what is most popular (I think because having acne meant a curve ball for my own results). But I do feel that since starting the brand, my skin has been more resilient, which speaks for itself!
Hi there!! I just love the dynasty cream!! It’s the best moisturizer I’ve ever tried. I know I’ve told you this before. Idk if I háve mentioned Altreno to you. It’s been the best retinoid I’ve used. I’d love your take on this!
Love this video!I do the retinoid sandwich too, but a little bit different. I'm using the tretinoin from Agency at .005% (not .05, but .005) which I totally thought was so low it would have no effect but when I first started it made my skin peel and flake even at that percentage. Anyway, I wait 10 minutes after I wash my face to apply the tret. Then I sandwich it between CeraVe moisturizing cream. One night I forgot to sandwich it and applied the tret right after my liquid gold without the CeraVe, and the next morning my skin was so dry and messed up for a week. When I sandwich with CeraVe I have no problems. :)
Oh wow! Actually that level sounds like a great intro into tret. I didn’t know it was possible to start that low (…am now tempted LOL) Have you started to see the results yet? 😃
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I didn't know it came that low either. That's why I always clarify when talking about it. I told the Agency derm that that I had super dry and slightly sensitive skin and wanted to start super low. I only started using it January 1 of this year, so it hasn't been that long really. I do think my skin looks brighter though :)
Hmm I have liked what I’ve tried from them! Funny enough, the biggest reason I hesitate to try a retinol body lotion is that I’m not always great about applying body sunscreen (I wear a lot of long sleeves/jeans so it doesn’t feel too important, especially given my from-car-to-work situation lol). But I do worry that I would need to be more diligent with it, or I might find ankle sunburns or something 🤣
They did such a good job on that mask, and it’s probably the most affordable that still has adequate fluence/correct wavelengths. Great option for sure!
Great video. I'm Having a real issue with my acne and I've been looking for products to help. I can only use differin once a week, and I still peel. I really want to try the numbuzin 3 serum but I mostly just use Vegreen cica serum and rovectin lotus cream. Sorry if I ever make any mistakes my English really isnt very good
Where I live (UK), differin is prescription I managed to get a prescription for it today, I got the differin cream version rather than the gel due to my dry, so your video is useful on how to incorporate it into my routine
I have a permanent indent on the right side of my nose from using a LED Mask of mine using the blue/red light setting but it’s so worth it bc my face has cleared up so much from using it now I just use benzoyl peroxide and Tretinoin in combination every week I get the occasional pimple but not as much as I used to get it hoping the tretinoin makes it go away for good I’m definitely not going to have any wrinkles when I’m older
I should probably start sandwiching my tret if I don't stop with this flaking soon! Thanks for the tip about waiting. I have been loving the new some by mi barrier products for helping with that and using the stratia liquid gold. Maybe if I just change the order I put things on I'll get less flaking.
It was truly an accidental lightbulb moment for me! It single-handedly made it so I could jump from twice a week usage to every other night. Those some by mi products sound soooo lovely 😍
@AliceintheRabbitHole I am definitely going to try it tomorrow. I can fit it in before and after bedtime stories. And yes, I am sooooo happy I got to try those. My only complaint about the barrier repair serum is it's just tooo thick and nourishing to easily obtain with a dropper. 🤣🤣🤣
I started adapalene using the sandwich method (on me and teenage son) after watching The Budget Dermatologist video on it. It’s really good! Neither one of us has had any irritation or flaking since we started over a month ago. It’s a great method. And our routine is super simple. Cerave cleanser, Cerave Cream, adapalene, Cerave Cream ✅ Love it 😍
I'm sorry I have been so quiet. It is taking me too long to recover from the extra illnesses I got from covid. Ugh! I wanted to let you know that I am still watching and liking your content. I always get a couple pimples when I get sick. It's annoying!! 😂😢
That’s exactly what happens to me too!! I break out when: stressed, sick, traveling, time of the month…I have a whole list ayyy. I hope you feel better! 💕
I've always done the waiting thing with tret. I wonder if that's why I never had much irritation... my nose gets crusty sometimes, but that's always been it.
Loving your content lately. Quickly become my fav skin creator!! Have you ever heard of “HEIMISH matcha biome oil free moisturiser” it’s a gel/cream moisturiser I tried recently by the HEIMISH brand. NO REVIEWS ANYWHERE. I really trust your opinion, would you consider reviewing the product / brand?
That’s so funny you ask! I actually bought the Heimish matcha eye gels, and then was so disappointed as they contained one of my allergens (had to pass ‘em along 😩). But I saw that new release and noticed that they actually left out most of the fragrance ingredients this time? I bet they received feedback on the original items in that collection lol! Overall I do like Heimish, but oddly enough usually their makeup or makeup-adjacent items (ie the cleansing balm lol)
Numbuzin #3 toner smells exactly like an antelope horn drink that my mum makes every time we have a fever. It has benefits such as detox and reduce inflammation. I bet the toner has that in the raw material because it is EXACTLY the smell. 😂 My son can't drink it, he will puke every time he had to drink it but I love it like I love my ginseng. I am weird.
If I had to stand around and wait for my LED mask to finish working, it would drive me literally up the wall. I just strap mine on mine is the Deesse express that has 2 straps that allow for rock solid contact to the face and just get on with whatever else I’m doing, I especially like to go online or do the dishes because the red light makes it difficult to see, so if you do stuff that itself shines brightly and my sink is at the window, I find I can see a lot easier than if I try and do something like watch television in the dark, but even that is possible it’s the standing still doing nothing else. In the meantime that I could not deal with. 🤷🏼😆❤
Yup red light is way easier to deal with! I block out all the light when using blue light as I can feel it slightly irritating my eyes (which I take as a bad sign, especially given that the entire “blue light bad” thing was based off…blue lights negative impact on eyes 👀)
Tbh I’m not entirely ready to say “definitely!” - but I’m pleased so far and I do like the ingredients. I just wish it was a bit of a thicker formula, I think, as the runny factor threw me a curve ball haha
In enjoying BoJ cleansing balm but loving Skin Food Propolis Serum ! I'm wearing MadAboutSkin sunscreen , it's amazing and Biore Watery Gel for water resistant spf . 🙌👏😊🇬🇧🇪🇺🌈
The Skinfood is such a nice option too! Tbh I often think I do prefer that to the cosrx, minus the one caveat that it doesn’t last me as long as cosrx 96. I’ve got to try the Biore, water-resistant eastern sunscreens are so hard to find!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I add Biore to my StyleVana order as they're so much more affordable . MadAboutSkin is a Indie British brand , all fragrance free . I use a Tretinion formula with Azelaic Acid and Niacinimide so Propolis fits in great . I love cosrx 🐌 96 too . Purito Centella Toner is meh 😊🇬🇧👏
I have one strand of hair that always wants to fall in my face while washing it. I honestly think that's one of my biggest pet peeves so that scarf would have drove me nuts 🥴😬lol. I wanted to ask you recommendations for retinol alternatives. I just found out I'm pregnant so no more retinols for me. I've have the beekman dream booster and so far I like it but I'd like to have other options as well if you know any😊
EEEEEH congrats!! 💕💕 So my honest opinion on “retinol alternatives” is that while nothing is exactly the same, there are plenty of pregnancy-safe ingredients to maintain healthy skin. Overall I think a good skincare routine is the key vs one single “do it all” ingredient. After all, for as great as retinoids are, they don’t replace sunscreen, the act of cleansing, the TEWL-protective actions of moisturizing, etc. it’s the sum of the parts, essentially. And of course always check with your doctor to make sure what you’re using is a good choice So excited for you! 🥰
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Yes I agree on that. I'm definitely focusing more on the overall health of my skin right now, and keeping it hydrated which seems impossible with this weather we've been having 😥🥶lol. Thank you 🥰🖤
I got a question have u tried the Same glowy skin gel yet ? I got it today cause I saw so many people loving it and it looked great under their makeup I get it home and put it on my hand and it freaken burned right off the bat I read the ingredients after and their is lactic acid in a primer I don't see why but that is the only thing I would think that would make my skin burn that bad that fast . Ugh then I got a makeup forever liner the purple one for my eyes and it burned my lash line and was dry AF but the lip liner color ware ever walnut was fine on my lips . So 1 out of 3 things worked and I went to Sephora for certain things they had none of it such a sucky store they don't restock or carry anything.
Oh that’s so frustrating, can you return them? It sounds like the MUFE liner was old as they shouldn’t be too dry! I actually do like the Saie, but I haven’t used any other primers since that darn Youthforia one absolutely won my heart lol.
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I am so sad about the saie primer. Idk what is going on with the MUFE liner I got a purple one it sucks but in the same formula I got the ware ever walnut and it's good I am definitely not gonna use the purple liner on my lips so I am getting that 23$ left lol I have the receipt and I kept the code on the little plastic rapper I got them today so they should take them back it Sephora at Kohles . I was excited for that liner to cause I loved the purple but girl I put it on my upper lash line and it was so hard and my lash line burned . It shouldn't be old it's a new Sephora it's only been open sense summer.
I knowww it’s the worst. I was so confused for half the day as all our clocks changed automatically except the stove. So I was going “oh no what’s wrong with this thing” 🤣😂
Ok the smell of the numberize toner does it smell like perfume or herb smell I need the deets on the smell whether I can handle it 🤣 it's the only reason I haven't bought it yet. I decided against the ordinary peptide eye serum cause I use the Dermtlgy needless serum around my eyes and my face and it's an oz and I use it both places and it's got some better stuff in it so I don't feel like I'm missing anything with T.O eye serum. Girl I am still hard core debating on that perricone essence it's like what should I do I am out of SK 11 which I want and I want to try the perricone lol but that is way expensive to get 2 essences .
Ok I kid you not it smells EXACTLY like my grandma’s house. Like I can smell the herbs she used in her soups combined with the fragrance she wore (it was totally white diamonds, of course!) It’s wild every time I use it! Honestly it sounds like you aren’t missing anything by sticking to the DRMTLGY. I like the TO, but at this point I don’t feel convinced that when I finish it I’ll feel the need to repurchase And I wish I could tell you about the cold plasma essence. I’m tempted but still very on the fence!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole white 💎 lol omg my husband's more is all about that she has all kind of expensive ass perfumes and she still about those diamonds🤣 I am so tempted by the perricone essence with the ingredients list I mean it's got it all the peptides the ferments all of it together..I leaning towards yes but it's gonna suck if it's not good and suck if it is because the price and what's the chance of getting it 50% off again and again.
This is great Alice! I will be turning 49 in a little over a month and the hormonal acne is real my friend.
It’s so real. I know what I’m in for as my mom is in her 70s and still deals with it 😩 Looks like adapalene and I will be lifelong friends LOL
Team Adapalene! I don’t see a difference between regular long-term use of adapalene vs tret for anti-aging and I’ve had it with the occasional “overdid it” with tret so I’m going back to Differin happily once my current tube is done.

I actually loved how the numbuzin no.3 toner smelled! It smells exactly like my kombucha🥰
I’ve learned so much from your videos Alice! Loving the Indi Lee you use and suggested
So happy to hear! 🥰
Thank You, for sharing you're evening routine. I didn't know Nubzim had a No. 2 moisturizer. Thanks for the video.
I love Adapalene too and I'm of the Lucky one that have no problems on used it ..🙌😍
I love the Numbuzin 3. I won’t be without it. It has made a huge difference in my skin
Do you use the toner or serum or both?
How has it helped? I really want to try the serum
This is Gonna b so Helpful🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Tuesday😀….
This is great Alice, love this estee lauder ,🎉 ❤ xx
Awesome idea putting it on all of your fingertips 👏🙌 I’m going to do that with my Tretinoin
It really helps with making sure to spread it across the whole face!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole excellent! I tend to place it heavily in some areas, hence irritation. Thank you 😊

As someone who uses the Omnilux, I feel the 10-minute committee struggle
How often is it recommended to use the omnilux?
Have you tried the Hero clear cleanser ? I just bought it the other day & I’ve just started using it , the ingredients are SO good for the price !!!
I haven’t! Is it the foaming one? I’ve almost bought that so many times 🤣
Hi! Can you review the brand Numbizen?
Yep! Next week!! 😃
Omg Alice can’t believe you said that in the first three minutes but so glad you did . Skin cycling lol
Right, I feel like so many of us were like, “…ummm this really isn’t new” 🤣
Hi there!! I just love the dynasty cream!! It’s the best moisturizer I’ve ever tried. I know I’ve told you this before. Idk if I háve mentioned Altreno to you. It’s been the best retinoid I’ve used. I’d love your take on this!

Idk what is going on with the MUFE liner I got a purple one it sucks but in the same formula I got the ware ever walnut and it's good I am definitely not gonna use the purple liner on my lips so I am getting that 23$ left lol I have the receipt and I kept the code on the little plastic rapper I got them today so they should take them back it Sephora at Kohles . I was excited for that liner to cause I loved the purple but girl I put it on my upper lash line and it was so hard and my lash line burned . It shouldn't be old it's a new Sephora it's only been open sense summer.
Time change has all of us dragging a$$ today! Hopefully this is the last time. My dog hates it too!❌️⭕️
I knowww it’s the worst. I was so confused for half the day as all our clocks changed automatically except the stove. So I was going “oh no what’s wrong with this thing” 🤣😂
Ok the smell of the numberize toner does it smell like perfume or herb smell I need the deets on the smell whether I can handle it 🤣 it's the only reason I haven't bought it yet. I decided against the ordinary peptide eye serum cause I use the Dermtlgy needless serum around my eyes and my face and it's an oz and I use it both places and it's got some better stuff in it so I don't feel like I'm missing anything with T.O eye serum. Girl I am still hard core debating on that perricone essence it's like what should I do I am out of SK 11 which I want and I want to try the perricone lol but that is way expensive to get 2 essences .
Ok I kid you not it smells EXACTLY like my grandma’s house. Like I can smell the herbs she used in her soups combined with the fragrance she wore (it was totally white diamonds, of course!) It’s wild every time I use it!
Honestly it sounds like you aren’t missing anything by sticking to the DRMTLGY. I like the TO, but at this point I don’t feel convinced that when I finish it I’ll feel the need to repurchase
And I wish I could tell you about the cold plasma essence. I’m tempted but still very on the fence!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole white 💎 lol omg my husband's more is all about that she has all kind of expensive ass perfumes and she still about those diamonds🤣
I am so tempted by the perricone essence with the ingredients list I mean it's got it all the peptides the ferments all of it together..I leaning towards yes but it's gonna suck if it's not good and suck if it is because the price and what's the chance of getting it 50% off again and again.
The Numbuzin toner breaks me out , not worth the hype as dr dray said!
Wow that was a huge pea size 😳 😂 Love your videos Alice x
9:33 dampness increases absorption, applying retinoids on damp skin isn't recommended
Correct!
I do the same thing with tracking!🤣❌️⭕️
