Thank you for being so kind and your voice is so full of energy! I would love to see a whole skincare routine-morning and evening to learn how you do it. Your skin is fantastic!
I'm 53 and my skin is in really great shape AND menopause has definitely created changes and challenges -- drier skin, little red splotches and more sensitive. My always and forever products are from Josh Rosebrook, Jordan Samuel and May Lindstrom. And the Belief Moisture Cream. Josh, Jordan and May create magic, my menopausal skin issues addressed and each have 111% integrity in their products and businesses. LOVE supporting them.
I can’t begin to tell you how much I look forward to your videos. You are helping me to remember that there can be something beyond this very scary time. And you are helping take my mind off the daily bad news. Thank you for sharing and caring and helping.❤️
I'm in my 40s, and my skin is very similar to yours. What CURED my skin problems is the principle "less is more". I'll tell you what products I use and my techniques too. Mostly I do two important things: #1: I use a facial brush to cleanse my skin every day. Gentle exfoliation is ABSOLUTELY KEY for reducing redness, enlarged pores, wrinkles and dry appearance. Using the automatic facial brush, daily, puts less stress on the skin because you don't have to do harsh exfoliating once a week. #2: I try to use simple, natural moisturizers and go light on the product. I also mostly moisturize in the winter when inside humidity is less than 40%. I use a combination SPF moisturizer in the summer. Products I use: CLEANSERS: With the facial brush I use simple cleansers that don't have harsh ingredients, and they are made to do one thing, clean. MOISTURIZER: I use is a mix of an expensive product, Sisley Hydra Global Intense Anti Age, cut in half by mixing a REALLY TINY bit of pure African Shea butter. I mix them together with a few drops of water and I spread it around my face. It works amazingly well and lasts long. I haven't yet found an SPF moisturizer I love, but I will try the Sisley SPF 50 cream, or look for something less expensive yet simple. If you want to do more TO REDUCE WRINKLES, you must nourish from the inside out, I can tell you which supplements help if anyone wants to know. Temporary plumping and filling only damages the skin because it goes against the "less is more" principal. TO REDUCE DARK SPOTS, unfortunately there is no cure, it's often hereditary, and while there are products that lessen the melatin to even out the pigment, you must understand that you are basically removing the pigment from the skin wherever you apply the product, so eventually you will have whiter skin which in my opinion, makes you look older, not younger. Obviously there are other products like make up removers and tinters, acne treatment for serious cases, and different cosmetics, but if you can try to implement the "less is more" principal AND daily exfoliation, I know you will see results. Try it.
I’ve been waiting for your thoughts on the VB serum and Kypris eye cream. Kypris is absolutely wonderful for my very dry sensitive skin. Also, thank you for still filming during these crazy times (which of course would be understandable if you didn’t). I’m sick with the virus and they bring me a sense of normalcy and calm. They are also just an informative and fun distraction. As silly as beauty videos might be seen by some, they’ve been a real help to me and I appreciate it.
I have oily skin and use the Good Molecules balm first, then the Tatcha powder as the second part of my double cleanse and I've been loving that combo. I've been adding the new Good Molecules pineapple powder a few days a week as the second part of my cleanse.
...”lost in thought”... 😂😂😂 that is probably the reason I left home yesterday to do some necessary shopping and I had bright full on green metallic eye make-up... glad not many souls around to look at me 😂😂
From a fellow dry skin person there are 4 products that I love and repurchase. The Mamonde rose water toner, the NeoGen Real Cica Pads, The Botanic Farm Rice Ferment First Essence, and the Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream.
I started using the Sisleya eye and lip cream about a year ago. I didn’t really have lines around my eyes, but they always seemed puffy. That eye cream is great. Recently I’ve started using the eye roller more and I see an immediate difference in puffiness. I also use eye gel patches and those make a big difference too. I didn’t spend a lot of money on those.
Man, this is the type of video I love, it was so HELPFUL. You described things so well, I really felt I "got" exactly what you were saying. I hate it when I realize I have nodded "yes" at your video... I have to make a spreadsheet of what I want to buy and try... A very welcome video as always!
I use Rain Pharma....but they only sell it in Belgium....i asked them....they have such great products for dry mature skin ..when they sell it in US i tell you..stay safe xxx
The lyla B cleansing balm is the very best I have ever use...because every one made my eyes blurry and actually ruined the contacts I was wearing that day so very frustrating....also the pharmacy one is stellar for us...however I remove my eye makeup with the makeup removing clothes.
Good to know about the Victoria Beckham serum. I have been using for about a month and have really noticed smoothing in my skin texture. But if it plateaus, I will definitely try the Sisley one next.
Michelle thank you for being so forthcoming about having been a heavy smoker. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 This is where I’m coming form. It’s so difficult. Appreciating you!
Thank you Michele! I love all of your videos, especially your skincare routine segments. Your experience with all of the products you try is helpful becuase I have the same kind of skin type as you do! The Kypris eye cream sounds perfect. I will definitely give that a try.
Thanks for concluding on the VB power serum; I had been waiting for your final review. I will give the Sisley brightening serum a go because the one I’m using for brightening is doing nothing for me. Thanks again, stay safe.
I've totally been waiting to hear your thoughts on that Sisley serum. I've never seen much improvement with other serums in that category and I love me some Sisley so it totally caught my eye. I'll add that and the Essential Lotion to my list for their next double point event. I used $300 worth of points on my last order from all the double point purchases I had made.
Hi Michele! Thanks for doing a skincare video! How does the new Sisley Rose eye cream compare to the Sisley Eye Contour Mask? You got me into Sisley and now I use the Sisleya anti-age products daily! ❤️
I haven’t tried any of these but girl that’s first one... I could see the glass you’re talking about. Amazing! And the eye cream sounds great!!! I usually forget eye cream too. That mist is beautiful like fairy dust! Stay safe girl!!! Love your channel!!
Hi Michele! Glad you are doing well 🙏. Just wanted to mention that the Chantecaille eye lift is meant to be an actual ‘serum’. It has a thinner consistency than the Sisley because it’s meant to penetrate more deeply into the skin as a first step in ur eye routine. It should be followed up by an eye cream once absorbed! Chantecaille has a new eye cream called Stress Repair which is amazing and should be used over the eye serum. Hope this helps! 😊👍. Deborah
I'd consider using the Good Molecules cleansing balm as a first-step cleanser and then going in with a second cleanser. That way, the second cleanser removes the film you feel left over from the balm.
I really wanna try that Sublimage exfoliating cream but I’m eagerly awaiting for my Sisley exfoliating cream. I bought my first Sisley products from the Saks beauty sale. Yes, got their mist because of your praise. I have a feeling that I’ll be falling down the Sisley rabbit hole. That serum sounds divine! Sunday Riley Good Genes actually helped tamed my eczema but I’m always open to try new things!
Thank you so much for an honest review of these products! I want to get into skincare soon and the Sisley serum especially is going to be high on my list.
Wow! That Sisley serum is almost $400! I do buy quality skincare but that is really expensive. Please keep us updated on how it works for you over more time 💕
I had a sample of the Sisley serum and want to buy a full size. This video is helping push me over the edge to purchase. They have 20% off site wide right now!
Ther is nothing in this serum that is worth $400. Not only that but the ingredients are bad for your skin. Don’t fall for the hype or think that expensive equals good
I enjoy your videos, enjoy hearing your honest opinions on stuff, and love seeing you try out makeup and hearing you describe blushers and lipsticks! Your appreciation of their beauty is contagious. Stay healthy. Pat that cute doggie!
Michele, I confess. I started watching youtube vids in 2017. I saw you with Rich Lux on youtube very recently, and subscribed to you. I have one thing to say..."Once you go luxe, you never go back." Since watching you I have purchased Tom Ford glosses Boy/Girl lipsTF Fragrance. LOVE. You influenced me.💯#staysafe
Your skin is beautiful. I love the Chanel Sublimage cleanser and I can’t remember it’s proper name. Menopause brain 🤨. I’ve been doing a multi-step K-beauty routine and have had great results; I’m an extremely dry, 55 year old grandma and I’m happy with the results. I’ve saved a ton of money using serums from The Ordinary. I have replaced most of my serums without a drop in quality.
I rarely buy luxury skincare items because they are usually laden with fragrance and other ingredients that can be sensitizing or cause contact dermititis. Great ingredient decks can be found at a much lower price. Paula's Choice ingredient dictionary is a great place to start research. Some of the items that you suggested can cause some problems for people with sensitive skin. Thanks for the videos! Love your channel!
I stumbled onto a channel and it is great! You are a beautiful person, but most of all and importantly, beautiful on the inside. Wondering what your recommendation is for a great night cream?
I tried a few Sisley products and i was quite disappointed. I have combination skin with breakouts and the products didn't deliver. it is especially painful after you pay above 300$ per product. there are good products that work and aren't as expensive.
Haver you tried layering the 2 eye products? use the Chantecaille and then layer the Sisley on top. Worth a shot, I find the chantecaille more like an eye serum anyway.
Interesting what you said about the cleansing balm and cloudy eye, I get that with Clinique one. I have enough high end skin care and cleansers to last for years but my favorite cleansing balm is actually drug store - Physicians Formula one. No cloudy eyes, rinses clean. I definitely want to try some of your recommendations today, who doesn't want smaller pores!!
omg this is fascinating - SO for me, the Clinique balm does NOT give me cloudy eye at all BUT the Farmacy green clean balm gives me the worst cloudy eye!
We have very similar skin...it's not sensitive but very finicky to certain products...certain foundations and skincare items can cause bumps, not zits, but these bumps that you do not mess with. I actually have learned a cream from my dermatologist helps when I get these, Cordran cream. And I too have some texture around the cheek area and slight discoloration...oh to have a perfect unified skin tone ;)
Have you tried the Mahalo cleansing balm? It’s such a spa experience! The balm I literally will use a big lentil size on top of makeup. The botanical aroma of it all! I’ll just massage the damn thing forever just for that! It becomes an emulsion when water hits it when I wet towel off. I pretty much tried all the line and I don’t think I disliked anything from them.
Excellent video! Your skin looks beautiful and your skin tone is very even. I've been watching you since almost the beginning and I can see a big difference in the jawline area - very even toned now. I hope that didn't sound insulting. Don't you love it when a product actually works! I love cleansing balms but my face doesn't. So many have Moringa in them and apparently my skin hates that ingredient. Your turned me on to the Retrouve' cleanser and it is fabulous. I am a skincare junkie and love the ritual feeling of putting it all on.
Have you tried arilan skincare? I have been using it and it is amazing. The lady that owns it is in Beverly Hills. They have a serum that is 100% hyaluranic acid and an oxygenating mask that is absolutely amazing.
I use my granular/physical exfoliator right before I get into the shower. I do it twice a week when I wash my hair. Otherwise I just use a toner/lotion with AHA or BHA in it. So on scrub days, I get everything ready for my shower and get the water started. Right now I'm using the Clinique exfoliator. Not the 7day one, the one that is grittier and not everyday use. I dampen my hands slightly and apply the exfoliator to face, get into the shower and massage the exfoliator into my face for a couple minutes before I rinse my face. The least amount of objects I have to handle in the shower the better. I drop stuff. A lot. Even when I'm not in the shower. I've dropped a Le Lift Creme jar on my big toe once. That hurt really badly after the sheer panic attack that my NEW jar was going to bust on my floor. It didn't so God bless those hefty jars.
Michelle, have you ever used medical grade skincare? I use skinmedica, skincueticals, truth treatment and osmosis. I was curious how those products compare to like prestige brands like la mer and stuff.
Always love to watch your products reviews. I have always had dry, dehydrated skin and with age more dehydration has occurred. I thought I was the only one that didn't get many results from the VB serum. It is OK but nothing to write home about. Won't be repurchasing. That Sisley serum sounds lovely, added to my want list together with the Kypris eye emulsion. My favorite cleansing balm is the Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm...tried the Good Molecules and although the price is amazing, it just didn't remove all of my make up. Happy Wednesday, and stay safe and healthy....even with social distancing, we are experiencing an increase in cases in Florida. Take care. XO
Thank you for testing the products over a period of time. First impressions skincare videos are useless I have normal to dry touchy skin and have used Jordan Samuel products and prescription retinol for a few years. My skin looks great unless I stray and try samples which usually makes my skin angry
Good morning! ☕️☕️ Yes to the Chanel Sublimage Grains de Vanille! I love how soft my skin is afterwards. I agree that they're messy, I usually scoop some into my hand and the apply the scrub in the shower.
Hi Michele. Good morning. Nice skin care video but kind of pricy for me, But great suggestions. I have combination skin, although more on the dryer side.
Hi Michelle, what about SK-II products that you mentioned previously? I did mentioned that it doesn’t suit dry skin but I wish to know if there is an exception 😉
I’ve had a strange experience with the VB serum. It forms SUCH a barrier over my skin that my foundation actually kind of...how do I explain it...my foundation almost pixelates on my skin. The makeup sits on top so much that it actually kind of breaks up. No pilling but cracks almost. Very strange.
I have been distracted watching your videos since coming back from Japan due to what is going on globally and realized how much I truly enjoy your video. I have mature sensitive dry skin that can’t use any retinol products yet I highly recommend Arcona Advanced A Serum contains retinaldehyde doesn’t irritate my skin at all. I still love Sisley skincare products❤️
Hi Michele, do you use the Retrouve cleanser to remove makeup or as second cleanser? I also have dry skin and I’m looking for a good makeup remover that doesn’t leave my skin like the Sahara 😅
So interesting comments & reviews dear Michele. My skin is so sensitive, with freeckles too, & I am looking always for some product that would make my skin more even, smooth, hidrated, & luminous. Big hug sweetheart. 😉😘🌹👌
38yo, My skin is more normal now, but oily to normal skin, used to be very oily and break out, but not so much anymore. I.e I can't use scrubs as it upsets my sebum. Products my skin loves for day La Mer treatment lotion, Brightening essence, Matte Creme and a Sunscreen by La Mer. Then for night, Tate Harper Purifying Cleanser, then Sarah Chapman Cleanser, La Mer Regenerating serum, and Sarah Chapman Skinesis Stem Cell, I can swap out SC for Jordan Samuel oil , also I use Jordan's cleanser when not using Sarah's. Also sometimes I swap in Paula's choice retinol for night instead of Sarah's. Edit and sometimes I use A313 retinol instead of those other two.
I am using Dr Dennis Gross C+Collagen serum. It's good but I was thinking of trying something else. I tried Lamer blanc serum ($490)and I liked it but didn't feel like it did anything. So exited to see the Sisley Phyto Blanc serum recommended. But then I saw the price. $520!! What do I do?! xD
My skin is combo oily dehydrated. Still looking for the best anti spots brightening serum. I used SKII for 12 yrs, work wonder with spots but in the end my skin very sensitive. Stop using it. Moved to la prarie, makes my skin bumpy. Sigh.. then use sisley. Some work well with me, some are just too heavy. I live in singapore, btw. Love their scrub and brightening sunscreen. Love n hate with sisley all day all year lotion. The rose mask is too heavy, give me very oily face the next day. I tend to move onto other products quiet fast if i feel its not working for me. Still contemplating whether to try la mer or not, since its also use marine products just like la prairie. I find myself better with botanicals.
Thank u for review- I’ve been looking at the VB serum so glad to get your thoughts. I’m getting the Kypris dew drop serum and I neeeeeed a good eye cream and while it’s still pricey it’s not as pricey as the Retrouve eye cream which with our currency is just toooooo expensive. 💜
Has anyone tried the Floria Cleanser by Tony Moly? I recieved a sample and fell in love with it. Its very luxurious feeling on the lather. Then it rinses away to soft clean smooth feeling skin. Very non drying yet clean non greasy skin. I ordered some and was pleased to see its only $13.😊💕
I always believe that someone with skin problems should use a pharmacy product and pharmacy brands like Eucerin, bioderma ...etc. even though you still have to chose what goes along with your skin even from those brands . I am someone who tried a good amount of high end products and i only can say, just find a good moisturizer for your face and under eyes that won’t irritate your skin. Moisturizing is the key.. anyhow it’s all from the inside too with all the hormonal stuff going on, and the weather change of course.For me it’s like 2 weeks the moisturizer is good , and 2 weeks it’s the opposite and I’m thinking maybe something wrong with the product 😆
the whole sisley black rose line is amazing! the face cream literally changed my skin for the better.
Thank you for being so kind and your voice is so full of energy! I would love to see a whole skincare routine-morning and evening to learn how you do it. Your skin is fantastic!

I have the Beauty Elixir 1, the Antioxidant Dew, and the Cerulean mask. All are lovely.
Get better. Hope you kick this. My sister and nephew have it too. Prayers
I just wanted to let you know I will be thinking of you and I hope you pull through it without any major issues. 🙏🏻😊
Get well soon!
I also got the kypris serum in my boxy charm I love it but haven’t been totally consistent I’m dry I use it when I’m feeling really dry very hydrating
I have oily skin and use the Good Molecules balm first, then the Tatcha powder as the second part of my double cleanse and I've been loving that combo. I've been adding the new Good Molecules pineapple powder a few days a week as the second part of my cleanse.

Sisley and La mer are the best for me, I’m 46 and my skin is dry and sensitive.
I use Rain Pharma....but they only sell it in Belgium....i asked them....they have such great products for dry mature skin ..when they sell it in US i tell you..stay safe xxx

Hi,
Can you do updated info on the sisley serum.
Thanks
Good to know about the Victoria Beckham serum. I have been using for about a month and have really noticed smoothing in my skin texture. But if it plateaus, I will definitely try the Sisley one next.
Michelle thank you for being so forthcoming about having been a heavy smoker. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 This is where I’m coming form. It’s so difficult. Appreciating you!

I want everything you use! Lol your skin is gorgeous! 💕
Thank you so much Michele. I love your recommendation. I don’t waste money anymore to no good products. Take care always.
Thank you Michele! I love all of your videos, especially your skincare routine segments. Your experience with all of the products you try is helpful becuase I have the same kind of skin type as you do! The Kypris eye cream sounds perfect. I will definitely give that a try.
Hi Michele, I was wondering if you have ever used Vintners Daughter Serum or Essence? I would love to hear your opinion on those products!
Thanks for concluding on the VB power serum; I had been waiting for your final review. I will give the Sisley brightening serum a go because the one I’m using for brightening is doing nothing for me. Thanks again, stay safe.
Good morning! Awesome video! Thank you so much for the great information ❤️
Good morning Michele! Love you and love your videos! Stay safe!
Good morning Karen - thank you! You too ❤️
I’ve began using La Mer since you said how it saved your skin when you were younger and it really is amazing.
I've totally been waiting to hear your thoughts on that Sisley serum. I've never seen much improvement with other serums in that category and I love me some Sisley so it totally caught my eye.

Hello, I have the new Sisley bright eye serum and it really helps with dark circles, so I love it for that. Awesome product
I haven’t tried any of these but girl that’s first one... I could see the glass you’re talking about. Amazing! And the eye cream sounds great!!! I usually forget eye cream too. That mist is beautiful like fairy dust! Stay safe girl!!! Love your channel!!
Would love to know your thoughts on the Biologique Recherche line!
I'm a random stranger on the internet, but for what it's worth, BR is my favorite line ever. I'm one of those people who is completely addicted.
Hi Michele! Glad you are doing well 🙏. Just wanted to mention that the Chantecaille eye lift is meant to be an actual ‘serum’. It has a thinner consistency than the Sisley because it’s meant to penetrate more deeply into the skin as a first step in ur eye routine. It should be followed up by an eye cream once absorbed! Chantecaille has a new eye cream called Stress Repair which is amazing and should be used over the eye serum. Hope this helps! 😊👍. Deborah

Good morning Paola!! xoxo
Thank you Michelle. Really enjoy your videos x
Thank you Susan!
I'd consider using the Good Molecules cleansing balm as a first-step cleanser and then going in with a second cleanser. That way, the second cleanser removes the film you feel left over from the balm.
Hi! Based on your recommendation I use the Kypris duo each morning. I love it. Do you use the Sisley serum each morning before Kypris type product?
I really wanna try that Sublimage exfoliating cream but I’m eagerly awaiting for my Sisley exfoliating cream. I bought my first Sisley products from the Saks beauty sale. Yes, got their mist because of your praise. I have a feeling that I’ll be falling down the Sisley rabbit hole. That serum sounds divine! Sunday Riley Good Genes actually helped tamed my eczema but I’m always open to try new things!
Sisley rabbit hole LOL. You just described what I’m going through. I want it all
Another one over here! It is not even funny....
Michele, how do you get rid of under eye milia?
Always love hearing what skin products your using & trying Your skin looks amazing!!
Thank you so much for an honest review of these products! I want to get into skincare soon and the Sisley serum especially is going to be high on my list.
Sisley is the best! For my mature skin.
I was so tempted to try the Subliminage Vanilla Chanel Mask but now I know its defintily my next Sepho purchase :)
Wow! That Sisley serum is almost $400! I do buy quality skincare but that is really expensive. Please keep us updated on how it works for you over more time 💕

Linda Rutt bless you and yours as well. You won’t regret using the ordinary 😁
46 ? I've just fallen off my chair. Your skin looks great !!!!
My same reaction!!! How do you look so young at 46???

The Farmacy gives me cloudy eye too. I thought it was me!
I have red splotchy uneven skin right now! But $380 is not feasible for me 😔
Sisley is HG! That serum is fading my pregnancy mask beautifully - in the same area, around the frame of my jaw.
Thanks so much for this video, I love your skin care discussions because you use such a unique range of products.
We have very similar skin...it's not sensitive but very finicky to certain products...certain foundations and skincare items can cause bumps, not zits, but these bumps that you do not mess with.

Where are you getting you cleansing balm in the pump? Retrove?
Yes, I am very interested in what that was and where to get it!!!!❤️thank you
Have you tried the Mahalo cleansing balm? It’s such a spa experience! The balm I literally will use a big lentil size on top of makeup. The botanical aroma of it all! I’ll just massage the damn thing forever just for that! It becomes an emulsion when water hits it when I wet towel off. I pretty much tried all the line and I don’t think I disliked anything from them.
Excellent video! Your skin looks beautiful and your skin tone is very even. I've been watching you since almost the beginning and I can see a big difference in the jawline area - very even toned now. I hope that didn't sound insulting. Don't you love it when a product actually works! I love cleansing balms but my face doesn't. So many have Moringa in them and apparently my skin hates that ingredient. Your turned me on to the Retrouve' cleanser and it is fabulous. I am a skincare junkie and love the ritual feeling of putting it all on.
Have you tried arilan skincare? I have been using it and it is amazing. The lady that owns it is in Beverly Hills. They have a serum that is 100% hyaluranic acid and an oxygenating mask that is absolutely amazing.
I use my granular/physical exfoliator right before I get into the shower. I do it twice a week when I wash my hair. Otherwise I just use a toner/lotion with AHA or BHA in it. So on scrub days, I get everything ready for my shower and get the water started. Right now I'm using the Clinique exfoliator. Not the 7day one, the one that is grittier and not everyday use. I dampen my hands slightly and apply the exfoliator to face, get into the shower and massage the exfoliator into my face for a couple minutes before I rinse my face. The least amount of objects I have to handle in the shower the better. I drop stuff. A lot. Even when I'm not in the shower. I've dropped a Le Lift Creme jar on my big toe once. That hurt really badly after the sheer panic attack that my NEW jar was going to bust on my floor. It didn't so God bless those hefty jars.
Fraxel lazer does wonders with sun damage FAST no waiting
I have just started with La Mer essence and 2 different serums .... 🥰... very inclined to buy the foundation too...
hello. have you tried vascular laser? it is magical !
Your skin looks amazing!! I see improvements!!
Michelle, have you ever used medical grade skincare? I use skinmedica, skincueticals, truth treatment and osmosis. I was curious how those products compare to like prestige brands like la mer and stuff.
Does anyone use that Chantecaille eye product on their upper eyelids. I've been getting looser skin there and I was wondering if it tightens there to?
No. It isn't worth spending that much money on the product. Get filler instead.
Yessss, so great! Thanks for staying connected. This reminded me to try the VB primer. That’s in my to-buy list. :) 🙌🏻
Always love to watch your products reviews. I have always had dry, dehydrated skin and with age more dehydration has occurred. I thought I was the only one that didn't get many results from the VB serum. It is OK but nothing to write home about. Won't be repurchasing. That Sisley serum sounds lovely, added to my want list together with the Kypris eye emulsion. My favorite cleansing balm is the Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm...tried the Good Molecules and although the price is amazing, it just didn't remove all of my make up. Happy Wednesday, and stay safe and healthy....even with social distancing, we are experiencing an increase in cases in Florida. Take care. XO
Thank you for testing the products over a period of time. First impressions skincare videos are useless I have normal to dry touchy skin and have used Jordan Samuel products and prescription retinol for a few years. My skin looks great unless I stray and try samples which usually makes my skin angry
Good morning! ☕️☕️
Yes to the Chanel Sublimage Grains de Vanille! I love how soft my skin is afterwards. I agree that they're messy, I usually scoop some into my hand and the apply the scrub in the shower.
Are you still using the Victoria Beckham priming moisturizer?
Hi Michele. Good morning. Nice skin care video but kind of pricy for me, But great suggestions. I have combination skin, although more on the dryer side.
Hi Michelle, what about SK-II products that you mentioned previously? I did mentioned that it doesn’t suit dry skin but I wish to know if there is an exception 😉
Please link the Retrove cleanser. Thanks.
Does anyone have tips to get rid of milia without visiting a doctor?
I’ve had a strange experience with the VB serum. It forms SUCH a barrier over my skin that my foundation actually kind of...how do I explain it...my foundation almost pixelates on my skin. The makeup sits on top so much that it actually kind of breaks up. No pilling but cracks almost. Very strange.
I had almost the same experience with Victoria Beckham cell Rejuvenating Priming moisturizer. Dried out my foundation, and made it separate.
iana fernandez Wait. I used the serum WITH the moisturizer. I wonder if that is what did it. Now you’re getting me thinking.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty oh wow maybe that is the issue!
iana fernandez This calls for an experiment. I’ll try each product on its own. But I think you’re right and it’s likely the moisturizer.
What are the steps to a skin care routine?
I have been distracted watching your videos since coming back from Japan due to what is going on globally and realized how much I truly enjoy your video.
I have mature sensitive dry skin that can’t use any retinol products yet I highly recommend Arcona Advanced A Serum contains retinaldehyde doesn’t irritate my skin at all. I still love Sisley skincare products❤️
Your skin is so beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Try the eve lom cleansing balm!!!
Good morning 🌞 Michele 💖 So many good Sisley products to try! Thank you 😊 ~ Charli 🌸
Hi Michele, do you use the Retrouve cleanser to remove makeup or as second cleanser? I also have dry skin and I’m looking for a good makeup remover that doesn’t leave my skin like the Sahara 😅
So interesting comments & reviews dear Michele.
My skin is so sensitive, with freeckles too, & I am looking always for some product that would make my skin more even, smooth, hidrated, & luminous.
Big hug sweetheart. 😉😘🌹👌
Can u give me the link of ur favorite cleansing balm which u told me in video, pls give link of it.
I never would’ve thought Michele was a heavy smoker, her lips don’t show it, or even sun worshiper, she’s like one of us. 🙂
38yo, My skin is more normal now, but oily to normal skin, used to be very oily and break out, but not so much anymore. I.e I can't use scrubs as it upsets my sebum. Products my skin loves for day La Mer treatment lotion, Brightening essence, Matte Creme and a Sunscreen by La Mer. Then for night, Tate Harper Purifying Cleanser, then Sarah Chapman Cleanser, La Mer Regenerating serum, and Sarah Chapman Skinesis Stem Cell, I can swap out SC for Jordan Samuel oil , also I use Jordan's cleanser when not using Sarah's. Also sometimes I swap in Paula's choice retinol for night instead of Sarah's. Edit and sometimes I use A313 retinol instead of those other two.
Googled the Sisley under eye contour fluid… Your video was the first. Duhhhh 🤣😉
I just turned 50 and can completely relate to the sunbathing and heavy smoker commit!! Quit doing doing both!!
I am using Dr Dennis Gross C+Collagen serum. It's good but I was thinking of trying something else. I tried Lamer blanc serum ($490)and I liked it but didn't feel like it did anything. So exited to see the Sisley Phyto Blanc serum recommended. But then I saw the price. $520!! What do I do?! xD
Thank you 🌈⭐️
Need to get rid of an eczema patch that's not going away. Help !
You honestly look so pretty and so young without makeup!!
My skin is combo oily dehydrated. Still looking for the best anti spots brightening serum. I used SKII for 12 yrs, work wonder with spots but in the end my skin very sensitive. Stop using it. Moved to la prarie, makes my skin bumpy. Sigh.. then use sisley. Some work well with me, some are just too heavy. I live in singapore, btw. Love their scrub and brightening sunscreen. Love n hate with sisley all day all year lotion. The rose mask is too heavy, give me very oily face the next day. I tend to move onto other products quiet fast if i feel its not working for me. Still contemplating whether to try la mer or not, since its also use marine products just like la prairie. I find myself better with botanicals.
Thank u for review- I’ve been looking at the VB serum so glad to get your thoughts. I’m getting the Kypris dew drop serum and I neeeeeed a good eye cream and while it’s still pricey it’s not as pricey as the Retrouve eye cream which with our currency is just toooooo expensive. 💜
Has anyone tried the Floria Cleanser by Tony Moly? I recieved a sample and fell in love with it. Its very luxurious feeling on the lather. Then it rinses away to soft clean smooth feeling skin. Very non drying yet clean non greasy skin. I ordered some and was pleased to see its only $13.😊💕
I always believe that someone with skin problems should use a pharmacy product and pharmacy brands like Eucerin, bioderma ...etc. even though you still have to chose what goes along with your skin even from those brands . I am someone who tried a good amount of high end products and i only can say, just find a good moisturizer for your face and under eyes that won’t irritate your skin. Moisturizing is the key.. anyhow it’s all from the inside too with all the hormonal stuff going on, and the weather change of course.For me it’s like 2 weeks the moisturizer is good , and 2 weeks it’s the opposite and I’m thinking maybe something wrong with the product 😆
This must be the time for skincare updates lol mine will be up later today. I have to look into that serum by Sisley!
