I can't even begin to express how thankful I am for your brand reviews. I am in my mid-thirties and for the last 2-3 years my skin has done a complete 180. I went from a balanced skin to a dry, sensitive, and reactive skin with a horrible case of adult acne. I do have 3 thyroid conditions that are closely monitored but I went to my dermatologist for a yearly check up and asked her for advice on how to manage the situation. She prescribed me a topical medication (EpiDuo Forte) and it was the most painful 6 months of my life. My face flared up even more and it never calmed down, on top of which I become extremely dry and hypersensitive and developed patches of eczema (mainly on my eyelids and chin). I eventually decided to stop using the medication and try to handle it myself. I went back to a more simplified routine (double cleanse, tone, oil/treatment, and moisturize). I went back to an alcohol free withchazel toner, use my rosehip oil as a treatment/extra moisture, and First Aid Beauty moisturizer. I have not been able to find a cleanser that won't over-dry me or leave a goopy feel afterwards. Recently I even tried the Drunk Elephant Beste Jelly cleanser and have, for the 3 weeks I have been using it, experienced a new cystic pimple every day. It has been a long, expensive, and truly depressing process. I am hoping that your brand overviews (in conjunction with your cheat sheets) will help me recapture my skin's balance.
Thank you Caroline for your brand overviews and videos on retinol / vit C etc. They will forever be informative and I always check in with your videos or blog before purchasing something I haven't tried
The Environmental Shield City Skin SPF 50 is my absolute favorite SPF on this planet. Hands down the best I’ve ever tried, and it’s a pretty great primer as well.
A million times, YES. I am shocked that it hasn't been duped by other brands because it's texture, finish, and effectiveness are second to none. I have tried so many mineral SPFs (rosacea) and this one is by far the best. And I'm a guy and anyone can use this.
Note to self........only watch Caroline when you have some spare cash! Hope my Murad package arrives when the hubby isn't home!!! Another fabulous video Ms Hirons xxx
I have never been happier to see an AD in UA-cam, only the Ad in Caroline's channel in this case. Can we have more brands please? I've tried couple sample from Murad before. My face doesn't hate them of course. However I never dare to buy anything from this brand because I know it's a professional brand and their products are serious. I want to know more before I get my hands on any of their products because I have high hope in Murad as well. This video is absolutely brilliant. I can now try their products with knowledge I need. Thank you Caroline.
You have only shown two products so far but I had to pause and say THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU for holding them to the camera for a good length of time a) to allow it to focus and b) to let us ‘oldies’ read what it says...XOX
Could you please do a brand overview for Avène and La Roche-Posay. My local pharmacy suggested these brands as I have dry/dehydrated, sensitive and redness prone skin. I’d like your opinion first though 😃 xx
avene and la roche posay is quite popular in Canada. my dermatologist recommended both of these brands. i personally use la roche posay for redness, particularly their rosaliac line, and i think it does a really good job with redness. my redness is not as severe as others but you should definitely give them a try.
I love Dr Murad’s entire presence and philosophies 🤗 And Murad products work *so well* for my skin. Rapid Lightening Serum is my HG 🙌🏽 Thank you for this video!
Great video! You're the best Caroline! I love that Dr. Murad video. He did have very much of that wise soul, Oprah vibe. I also got his Acne range right before you made this video. I am in love so far!
I love Murad products, I used to get a lot of breakouts and his blemish control range really sorted my skin out! I also love his advice about eating water not just drinking it. I have just started using his retinol products after previously seeing you talk about how good they are.
Thank you Caroline Hirons. I love Dr Murads products and you crack me up when you remind our fellow late 40’s how our skin is “aging”. I’m waiting on your “how rude” comment. Love your sarcasm. And yes you are entertaining. ❤️
Thank you Caroline for all the hard work you do so that people like me don't have to "think too hard" when it comes to what it's for as I've seem myself reading products over and over in the shops and then giving up and coming home with nothing. Think I definately need to get the Big Peach spray as I work in a care home so am hot sweaty and knackered and aged 52. Recently I have developed acne (at 52 what a smack in the face) around my bottom lip/chin area so will have to try Murad as Indeed although lovely isnt doing much for my skin. Thank you so much Caroline!!! oxox
I love it when you explain a brand like this I'm a Murad fan and I tend to buy the green and orange labels which I love. But to have it all explained so so well is fantastic. Thanks caroline def gonna buy the toner now haven't tried yet so looking forward xxx
I was so happy to see the notification and you mentioned two of my favourite products. The AHA/BHA cleanser as well as the "green" toner. But... what about the pomegranate moisturizer? I think it is THE product I can't live without!! Nice video!!! 😚
Thank you again, Caroline 😊 These brand reviews make it so easy to try new products 👍 I have never tried Murad products, now ordered a few starter sets and cleansers. The 25 % off was a great bonus to this highly informative video, thank you thank you thank you 🙏🙏🙏
I had spotted Murad at Marks but didn't know where to start. So, got the peach spray(divine) - the retinol serum and moisturiser (Green) - again really fab but only just started. The blur spf is also amazing - really think that is going to be a long term fav.
I have been using Murad for around 15 years and absolutely love the entire line especially the new Retinol line, no wrinkles yet and I am 64 years old, I also have met this amazing man, such a gentle human being.
Thank you for another great brand overview. Between this and the interview with Dr Murad it had me rushing off to Ulta to stock up. Alas the ingredients in many of the products prevented me from making a purchase. Too often the claims of products have me excited to buy, but the ingredients, most often fragrance, citrus, alcohol and fragrant oils will leave my rosacea skin in a mess. So I end up sticking with CeraVe. I would love to use some anti aging ingredients. Please please do a Rosacea focused video.
Great video, thanks! Have to say though slightly disappointed that only 1 product from the orange range was featured. I know u couldn't do them all, but orange would be my range to select from. Is
As a retired beauty therapist i have dibbed and dabbed in many lotions and potions on me and clients. Murad didn't work for me, which i was surprised about - but it obviously works for others. Bioscience and Ole Hendrickson transformation creme - i have had and seen results on me and clients as well as Karin Herzog. Murad is definitely one you should not, just buy, off of shelf, as you need educating, so that an educated informed choice is made and how to use - this video is helpful 😆
I pulled my desk forward so that it would focus on me and not the background. And yes upgraded the camera a while ago, but it doesn’t have a pullout screen so I can only use it when I have someone with me - annoying!
Murad is a brand that, until now, never really made its way onto my bathroom shelf. I can see that changing in the future though, I think I will join the "purple family" and maybe get a few bits for the hormonal beard - great expression!
I had to pause the video and placed a big order on Murad website lol. Thanks so much Caroline for this thorough review! YOU ROCK!! My next order will definitely be the blue cocoon which I am so excited to try!!
Thanks to you I use now the purple moisturizing cream. I started using after you mentioned it in a conversation with Teresa, last year I think. Love it.
Thank you for this! Such a comprehensive overview. Love it! I just wish those Rapid Resurfacing Pads didn’t have denatured alcohol as the second ingredient and so much fragrance in some of these products. I loved your Drunk Elephant brand overview! I’m grateful for your content and would love to see more brands without harsh, unnecessary irritants in their products. Thank you again for all that you do and for your expertise and adorable wit. 💗
I have combo/acne prone skin. The Murad acne range - particularly the clarifying cleanser and the skin perfecting lotion - saved my skin in college when acne was at its worst. Now that I’m in my early 30s, the skin perfecting lotion is still my HG daytime moisturizer. Lightweight but nourishing. In the drier months I actually add a few drops of rice bran oil to make it richer. It is a little greasy that way but spf and makeup actually layer on great over it.
I am a 63 yr. old woman with normal skin /combo skin ( oil in T zone) and after seeing your recent Drunk Elephant video, I am thinking of buying the serum, 2 moisturizers, eye cream and bar cleansers. Am I crazy to use just one line or should I mix and match different product lines? I've never stuck to just one line before and thought maybe I should. What is your recommendation?
I love hearing the company background information, and company approach towards skincare. Plus the added benefit of product explanation. Please keep these videos coming.
My absolute favourite Murad product is the oil-free SPF30 (in the gold tube) - it’s the best non greasy but hydrating sunscreen I’ve ever tried and I use it daily as my moisturiser. Too many oil-free sunscreens are full of alcohol or have mattifying formulas. Never see it mentioned by anyone in the industry but it’s perfect for oily but dehydrated skin!
Actual fact is : You are so smart professional and funny Caroline, It is nice to wait for your next video ! Murad is SO effective LOVE IT truly ,thanks for sharing 💚💚💚💚💚💚💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛 Have a nice Sunday
I have quite a few of the products you mentioned and I agree that they are amazing - I particularly like the AHA/BHA (purple) cleanser. Absolutely love it. This was an excellent video - I'll have to try some of the others you mentioned
So glad you've done this brand they sell Murad in larger marks and spencers will definitely try toner and eye range as my skin round my eyes are dry and a bit crepey😩
Hi Caroline, I absolutely love watching you, my friend had posted your book on instagram so I ordered and had to wait as it was sold out. I recently turned 60 and yes have all those lovely signs but need help with my look. I just bought Murad and I have the youth renewal kit and would like to know the routine of everyday and night as I get confused :). I appreciate your honesty and humor in all your blogs and videos.
Love this video. I have been using this brand on and off throughout the years. I would love if you could make a a PDF that could be printed so when going shopping we could refer back to a product list. I find that when I get to the store I get all confused or the sales folks turn me around to another product. Just a thought. Thank you, love your videos.
Really appreciated this overview, got the impression that you personally love these too - using pestle n mortar but am certainly going to include one or two of the purple family 😜 fab, thanks
I didn't read the guidelines at first for the AHA cleanser and used it twice a day, buy the end of the week my entire face and neck was peeling off. Now that I'm using it correctly it's a nice addition to my routine.
Wonderful clear explanation thank you Caroline. A little off side but what do you use on your hands? They look like those of a 20 year old and being almost 50 mine show my age.😕
Debbie Sanderson she uses everything on her hands. She uses her hands for her work as an esthetician and she is touching all of the gorgeous products. I’m changing my job. I have to wash my hands constantly and they look terrible and hurt at times. Envious.
Caroline, I've had my eye on Murad products for a while because my facialist uses them, but I'm currently pregnant and seem so limited on what products I can use. Are there any Murad products that might recommend to fight pregnancy breakouts? Of course, I'll consult with my doctor as well, but with the vast array of Murad products, I'd love a point in the right direction. Great video, btw!
Ciao Caroline!! Great video, I was really looking forward to this! Can I ask if you think the dark blue range would also be effective on hormonal breakouts caused by PCOS? Thank you so much, lots of love from Italy! 💖😘
Wow, just wow. Thank you so much for this incredible, in-depth overview. What an amazing education you've provided. I especially appreciated the information on the color coding based on your skin concern and how often per week to use certain products. Brilliant job. You look lovely today, by the way. - xx, Carla from 2 Real Chicks
If we use a face oil, won't all those good moisturizers just "sit" on top of the skin? How do we know which moisturizers can get through all the other stuff we've put on our face and actually help the skin? Thx!
I’ve become a Murad fan after discovering their facials in House of Fraser. I love pretty much all the products you mentioned but I always worry about overdoing it by using too many different ones. At night I use the Murad retinol serum but follow it with the clarins double serum after it has sunken in. Would that cancel each other’s effect out? Also I wondered what your view is on murads day creams with spf? Are they good or would you rather use a regular moisturiser and follow it with a separate spf?? Thanks so much! You’re a star! ⭐️ x
I don't know if you'll see this, but I have questions! Is it worth it to go to a dermatologist (I'm in the USA) to get an idea of what they'd recommend, to start getting my skin on the right track? Is it worth it to buy a line, such as murad, that sounds like it may work for me and then keep the steps I need and do away with the ones I don't? Love your channel, love the blog. Can't seem to possibly know everything you do, though. x
Fabulous video! I have been waiting for this one after your amazing interview with Dr Murad (wonderful man). I do have a question about the Invisiblur - can you wear it over a mineral sunscreen? BTW, love you Chili Peppers shout out....ahhh...Anthony K in the 90s....sigh.....
Loving all of the good information you provide😊. What’s your opinion on using different products such as May Lindstrom oils and Kate Somerville or Murad? Do you think using mixing would cause the skin to become more sensitive? I have super dry skin and trying to find a product and routine that would help.
Caroline you are a legend. I love your manor and the way you talk through products. I have a wee question if you don’t mind. My dad is 68 has MS and is obvs a man! His whole life he has washed his face with a bar of imperial leather soap. He has terrible rosecea across his nose. What could he use to help. I was thinking a toner with the soap or buy a cleanser? The only reason it is either or is because I don’t think I could get him to do lots of steps. But perhaps changing one thing would be ok. I hope this makes sense. Thanks again.
Hi . Thank you for this video. I am glad you mentioned invisiblur spf 30. I bought it a while ago but cannot use it because it rolls of like no body else's bissuness. Hence i cannot put any other product on top. Any tips on how to avoid this issue. At the moment I use it 1-2 pumps not a lot and that is it. Thanks again.
deeqa alii silicones are of different types. Sometimes if they pill using them a different way can help by tapping instead of rubbing in for example. Otherwise you are stuck on trial and error
I plan to purchase Rapid Collagen Infusion after I finish Exuviance Collagen Triple Boost Serum. Caroline, you mentioned the molecule size of the Murad...how does the Exuviance compare?
The world of skincare is so overwhelming that I end up using just a cleanser and a moisturizer! Caroline, it would be super helpful if you do a video explaining your skincare routine. I am 48 so I feel very close to you. Love your channel 😘
I love when I get a Caroline Hirons Notification Yay!!! In other news, you have upgraded your Camera equipment - what Camera and Lens are you using if you don't mind me asking?
Hi Caroline, thanks for this video (my wallet is flipping you though) - quick question: in the light blue category, I use the clarifying toner which seems to be loaded with alcool yet my adult acne prone skin seems to love it. Whatever works right? But what's your take? Also, would you do a video on Neal's Yard products? thank you!
Hi Caroline. Excellent video as always. I keep coming back to this video as toying with purchasing invisiblur but due to price tag want to be sure. I currently use an ANR serum followed by Ren omega oil (I'm genuinely dry) in the morning - would invisiblur have the 'anti-aging ' (yuck) properties of ANR or do I still have to use a serum? From reviews it looks like it goes over moiturising step so not very 'serum-like' so I'm confused. Please help, thank you xx
Hi Caroline, thank you for this delightfully easy to understand overview. Is there an option, that I could benefit from this 25% offer, although I live in Germany?
I love you Caroline. Quick question you may or may not know the answer to. I used to use the orange vitamin c face wash when I was younger and was thinking of going back to it for a morning cleanse on holiday but I read it had microbeads that don’t dissolve and are bad for the environment? Is that true? Not trying to do Murad a disservice - just want to know if there is a way I can find out as it doesn’t say on the box. Thank you xxx
did you get a new camera set up ? This looks great like theres so much space! Easier on the eyes PS i bought OPI Funny Bunny thanks for the recommend LoVE IT
I’m pissed! I had AMAZING skin I was complemented by many. I had a hysterectomy (still have ovaries) but my skin is rapidly aging so all my amazing Korean supple-ness products are not cutting it! I was sitting here the last few weeks thinking I NEED to switch it up and take it up a notch with more “umph”! I’m ordering a kit tomorrow! Thank you so much. I heard that the percentage of woman going into menopause even if the ovaries left behind is pretty high. I have so many issues to tackle now!! I’m so mad at Kaiser knowing that I am in the skin care industry and they didn’t even give me a heads up!! 😔
Looking at the Resurgence range but can't see the size of tube or tub on a few of the products. Just like to know before I fork out a load of cash. Particularly interested in the neck cream. Thanks!
Thank you so much for the overview. I look forward to all of your videos. Questions for you....what products would you suggest for the broken capillaries on my cheeks?
⭐️ Just invested in the ultimate skin perfectors set. Essentially a half size cleanser and eye cream for a fiver plus discount to go with the invisiblur primer. Hopefully it'll work its magic 😊
Hi Caroline , thanks for explaining the invisiblur I'll try that next time but I have a non murad question, can you use a vitamin C and a retinol A together with a glycolic night moisturiser, Thanks.
Thank you Caroline! Question: I've tried a couple of Murad products that I received as deluxe size samples and my skin didn't like them because they were anti- acne products that had a ton of denatured alcohol in them. That is on my absolute NO GO list in my journey of learning about skincare. Do you think there is a time and a place for denatured alcohol in skin products? I will admit that I do regularly use a makeup setting spray that has alcohol in it, all of the ones that actually work to keep everything in place have alcohol in it but I figure it doesn't count because it's on top of loads and loads of layers of skincare and makeup. That's my excuse anyways. Love your videos and your blog and pretty much everything about you!
I can't even begin to express how thankful I am for your brand reviews. I am in my mid-thirties and for the last 2-3 years my skin has done a complete 180.

It has been a long, expensive, and truly depressing process. I am hoping that your brand overviews (in conjunction with your cheat sheets) will help me recapture my skin's balance.
You are a gift from heaven. Honestly, I watch and rewatch whenever I have questions. Thanks Caroline Hirons!
The fabulous and amazing Mrs Hirons, making skincare understandable, accessible and fun! Thank you loads!
Susan Howard and I thought she was in her 30s!
I just watched your interview with Dr. Murad. I don’t think I’ve ever felt such an urge to hug a screen. I love him!
Thank you Caroline for your brand overviews and videos on retinol / vit C etc. They will forever be informative and I always check in with your videos or blog before purchasing something I haven't tried
I know this is an older video, but since receiving the Murad Water gel in your summer kit I am obsessed with the brand and I WANT EVERYTHING!
I swear by the Murad products, it's the only product that completely cleared my acne, I'm so thankful I was referred to it.
You say 15-20 with a grimace as though we would complain. Let’s get real: if you were like ‘I’m discussing 63 products’ we would all be here for it 😂
LOL you lot are addicts 😂🙈
The Environmental Shield City Skin SPF 50 is my absolute favorite SPF on this planet. Hands down the best I’ve ever tried, and it’s a pretty great primer as well.

Sunday morning bliss! You’ve made it easy for me to navigate the range, so much so I just dropped a cool £170 on it but I now have high hopes 🌈
I’ve been meaning to try more of Murad’s products. Really liked their resurgence eye cream. Helpful and informative video. Thanks!
Completely off topic but do you have a new camera lens this video looks amazing so clear and great DOF :-) x
I pulled my desk forward so that it would focus on me and not the background. And yes upgraded the camera a while ago, but it doesn’t have a pullout screen so I can only use it when I have someone with me - annoying!
Caroline Hirons ah yes that is annoying... X
You can attach a Laptop to the Camera using a USB cable and use it as a monitor.
Murad is a brand that, until now, never really made its way onto my bathroom shelf. I can see that changing in the future though, I think I will join the "purple family" and maybe get a few bits for the hormonal beard - great expression!

I'm on the US Murad site and under each product, it lists how many purchased today. Hiron's effect!
Great video Caroline! I wish you would relocate to LA. I know ‘How Rude’! Love how you explained each range. Thank you.

Have a nice Sunday
Videos like this make me spend so much money on my skincare - Clinique the other week and Murad this week
Hello Caroline I absolutely love your advice and these brand overviews❤️ If possible could you please do one for Lancôme?
Caroline really did give this a brand a good solid overview. I can feel that she truly has mad respect for the doctor.
Again the most wonderfully informative video - I so enjoy watching you. Thanks xx
I have quite a few of the products you mentioned and I agree that they are amazing - I particularly like the AHA/BHA (purple) cleanser. Absolutely love it. This was an excellent video - I'll have to try some of the others you mentioned
So glad you've done this brand they sell Murad in larger marks and spencers will definitely try toner and eye range as my skin round my eyes are dry and a bit crepey😩
Hi Caroline, I absolutely love watching you, my friend had posted your book on instagram so I ordered and had to wait as it was sold out. I recently turned 60 and yes have all those lovely signs but need help with my look. I just bought Murad and I have the youth renewal kit and would like to know the routine of everyday and night as I get confused :). I appreciate your honesty and humor in all your blogs and videos.
What if you're in your early 20's but have hormonal breakouts? I'm not worried about anti-aging but my breakouts are 100% hormonally driven.
Love this video. I have been using this brand on and off throughout the years. I would love if you could make a a PDF that could be printed so when going shopping we could refer back to a product list. I find that when I get to the store I get all confused or the sales folks turn me around to another product. Just a thought. Thank you, love your videos.
Really appreciated this overview, got the impression that you personally love these too - using pestle n mortar but am certainly going to include one or two of the purple family 😜 fab, thanks
I didn't read the guidelines at first for the AHA cleanser and used it twice a day, buy the end of the week my entire face and neck was peeling off. Now that I'm using it correctly it's a nice addition to my routine.
Wonderful clear explanation thank you Caroline. A little off side but what do you use on your hands? They look like those of a 20 year old and being almost 50 mine show my age.😕
Debbie Sanderson she uses everything on her hands. She uses her hands for her work as an esthetician and she is touching all of the gorgeous products. I’m changing my job. I have to wash my hands constantly and they look terrible and hurt at times. Envious.
I know! Aren't they gorgeous? In my next life I want to come back as Caroline Hiron's hands! ;0
Caroline, I've had my eye on Murad products for a while because my facialist uses them, but I'm currently pregnant and seem so limited on what products I can use. Are there any Murad products that might recommend to fight pregnancy breakouts? Of course, I'll consult with my doctor as well, but with the vast array of Murad products, I'd love a point in the right direction. Great video, btw!
Wonderful, thank you Caroline. Love it and I love your personality 😍😍😍
Ciao Caroline!! Great video, I was really looking forward to this! Can I ask if you think the dark blue range would also be effective on hormonal breakouts caused by PCOS? Thank you so much, lots of love from Italy! 💖😘
Yes that’s exactly what it’s aimed at xx
Wow, just wow. Thank you so much for this incredible, in-depth overview. What an amazing education you've provided. I especially appreciated the information on the color coding based on your skin concern and how often per week to use certain products. Brilliant job. You look lovely today, by the way. - xx, Carla from 2 Real Chicks
If we use a face oil, won't all those good moisturizers just "sit" on top of the skin? How do we know which moisturizers can get through all the other stuff we've put on our face and actually help the skin? Thx!
Caroline
Please make a video about teenage skincare , is soooooo overwhelming to choose something for 14; 15 year old that is not acne prone👍🏽👍🏽😘😘
Omgee first time here and I’m in love 😍 I should be getting ready for work but here I am! Ready to watch more videos 😂. Officially a new fan
I’ve become a Murad fan after discovering their facials in House of Fraser. I love pretty much all the products you mentioned but I always worry about overdoing it by using too many different ones. At night I use the Murad retinol serum but follow it with the clarins double serum after it has sunken in. Would that cancel each other’s effect out?
Also I wondered what your view is on murads day creams with spf? Are they good or would you rather use a regular moisturiser and follow it with a separate spf??
Thanks so much! You’re a star! ⭐️ x
I don't know if you'll see this, but I have questions! Is it worth it to go to a dermatologist (I'm in the USA) to get an idea of what they'd recommend, to start getting my skin on the right track? Is it worth it to buy a line, such as murad, that sounds like it may work for me and then keep the steps I need and do away with the ones I don't? Love your channel, love the blog. Can't seem to possibly know everything you do, though. x
Thank you Caroline for sharing the code! It really helped ❤️ I got myself some Murad love.
Can you do a Paula's Choice brand overview
Sam Anderson I second that! A chat with Paula would also be amazing...
Nadine baggot had an interview w her
Zee a oh yes it’s a great one and I know Caroline has interviewed her for the blog, but I’d love to see the two of them together.
Oh where are my manners forgot to say
"Pretty please Mrs.Hirons
Another excellent overview!!!! BTW, what nail polish are you wearing? It's fabulous for Spring!
OPI Funny Bunny LOl - always!
Hello Caroline.What do you think about retinyl palmitate in Murad sunscreens. Is this ingredient is ageing in contact with sun?Thanks
Yes good question and one I would like the answer to too 😊
Aysel Z SAME. WANT TO KNOW AS WELL
The collagen infusion serum transformed my skin. I'm 50 and thought it was in good nick before!
Fabulous video! I have been waiting for this one after your amazing interview with Dr Murad (wonderful man). I do have a question about the Invisiblur - can you wear it over a mineral sunscreen? BTW, love you Chili Peppers shout out....ahhh...Anthony K in the 90s....sigh.....
Loving all of the good information you provide😊. What’s your opinion on using different products such as May Lindstrom oils and Kate Somerville or Murad? Do you think using mixing would cause the skin to become more sensitive? I have super dry skin and trying to find a product and routine that would help.
Your hair looks beautiful drawn back like that!!
Caroline you are a legend. I love your manor and the way you talk through products. I have a wee question if you don’t mind. My dad is 68 has MS and is obvs a man! His whole life he has washed his face with a bar of imperial leather soap. He has terrible rosecea across his nose. What could he use to help. I was thinking a toner with the soap or buy a cleanser? The only reason it is either or is because I don’t think I could get him to do lots of steps. But perhaps changing one thing would be ok. I hope this makes sense. Thanks again.
Can you do a video on No 7 skincare please? Xxx (also, I’m from LA and am a huge Laker fan - love the sweater!)
Love, in love, loving all your brands overviews! Thks a lot Hirons!!!
Hi . Thank you for this video. I am glad you mentioned invisiblur spf 30. I bought it a while ago but cannot use it because it rolls of like no body else's bissuness. Hence i cannot put any other product on top. Any tips on how to avoid this issue. At the moment I use it 1-2 pumps not a lot and that is it. Thanks again.
deeqa alii silicones are of different types. Sometimes if they pill using them a different way can help by tapping instead of rubbing in for example. Otherwise you are stuck on trial and error
Thanks for making sure the product closeups were in focus long enough to really read the label!
I plan to purchase Rapid Collagen Infusion after I finish Exuviance Collagen Triple Boost Serum. Caroline, you mentioned the molecule size of the Murad...how does the Exuviance compare?
The world of skincare is so overwhelming that I end up using just a cleanser and a moisturizer! Caroline, it would be super helpful if you do a video explaining your skincare routine. I am 48 so I feel very close to you. Love your channel 😘
Maria López she has blog posts called cheat sheets and explaining the routines. Google Caroline Hirons cheat sheet and a list should be there
Jom Ali thanks for the info!!!
Thanks for the overview Caroline, would you be willing to do an overview of Drunk Elephant and Pixi at some point ?
Pixi is May, Drunk Elephant when they launch in the UK x
I love when I get a Caroline Hirons Notification Yay!!! In other news, you have upgraded your Camera equipment - what Camera and Lens are you using if you don't mind me asking?
Hi Caroline, thanks for this video (my wallet is flipping you though) - quick question: in the light blue category, I use the clarifying toner which seems to be loaded with alcool yet my adult acne prone skin seems to love it. Whatever works right? But what's your take? Also, would you do a video on Neal's Yard products? thank you!
I’m not a fan of a lot of alcohol. But you have to go by your skin and results.
clam85 Same here 💖
Hi Caroline. Excellent video as always. I keep coming back to this video as toying with purchasing invisiblur but due to price tag want to be sure. I currently use an ANR serum followed by Ren omega oil (I'm genuinely dry) in the morning - would invisiblur have the 'anti-aging ' (yuck) properties of ANR or do I still have to use a serum? From reviews it looks like it goes over moiturising step so not very 'serum-like' so I'm confused. Please help, thank you xx
Hi Caroline, thank you for this delightfully easy to understand overview. Is there an option, that I could benefit from this 25% offer, although I live in Germany?
I don’t think so sorry x
Thank you, so what color do I follow for 'fine lines ' and 'dark spots'?
I want them all! Love these videos, thank you.
What blush you wearing Caroline. .. ☺☺ cant help not commenting bout your glowing skin ☺☺☺
Usually Charlotte Tilbury Sex on Fire I think?
Thank you for this video. I knew nothing about this product line before hand. I need to try some of these "antiging" (sorry!) products.
Caroline, there is another line specific to eastern market coded grey colour aka white brilliance. at least that is what i was informed by the SA.
I love you Caroline. Quick question you may or may not know the answer to. I used to use the orange vitamin c face wash when I was younger and was thinking of going back to it for a morning cleanse on holiday but I read it had microbeads that don’t dissolve and are bad for the environment? Is that true? Not trying to do Murad a disservice - just want to know if there is a way I can find out as it doesn’t say on the box. Thank you xxx
Well they’re pretty much banned these days so I’m pretty sure they would have been removed. X
Caroline Hirons thanks so much xx
Lovely review..gives goid insight into a really vast range shipping's bit limited... so can't avail discount but that doesn't matter...
We need more overviews like this. Product reviews as well.
did you get a new camera set up ? This looks great like theres so much space! Easier on the eyes
PS i bought OPI Funny Bunny thanks for the recommend LoVE IT
I’m pissed! I had AMAZING skin I was complemented by many. I had a hysterectomy (still have ovaries) but my skin is rapidly aging so all my amazing Korean supple-ness products are not cutting it! I was sitting here the last few weeks thinking I NEED to switch it up and take it up a notch with more “umph”! I’m ordering a kit tomorrow! Thank you so much. I heard that the percentage of woman going into menopause even if the ovaries left behind is pretty high. I have so many issues to tackle now!! I’m so mad at Kaiser knowing that I am in the skin care industry and they didn’t even give me a heads up!! 😔
Looking at the Resurgence range but can't see the size of tube or tub on a few of the products. Just like to know before I fork out a load of cash. Particularly interested in the neck cream. Thanks!
Hi. Any future plans to visit Newcastle? Thanks.
Thank you so much for the overview. I look forward to all of your videos. Questions for you....what products would you suggest for the broken capillaries on my cheeks?
⭐️ Just invested in the ultimate skin perfectors set. Essentially a half size cleanser and eye cream for a fiver plus discount to go with the invisiblur primer. Hopefully it'll work its magic 😊
Hahahaa!!! Let's not beat around the ageing bush! Love you Caroline. Humor AND wisdom.
Hi Caroline , thanks for explaining the invisiblur I'll try that next time but I have a non murad question, can you use a vitamin C and a retinol A together with a glycolic night moisturiser, Thanks.
Thank you Caroline! Question: I've tried a couple of Murad products that I received as deluxe size samples and my skin didn't like them because they were anti- acne products that had a ton of denatured alcohol in them. That is on my absolute NO GO list in my journey of learning about skincare. Do you think there is a time and a place for denatured alcohol in skin products? I will admit that I do regularly use a makeup setting spray that has alcohol in it, all of the ones that actually work to keep everything in place have alcohol in it but I figure it doesn't count because it's on top of loads and loads of layers of skincare and makeup. That's my excuse anyways. Love your videos and your blog and pretty much everything about you!
