Hey guys and Happy Valentines Day.. I planned on a morning skincare routine for this video but I thought in the spirit of sharing the love and Valentines Day I would shower some love on my all time favourite skincare products... Sending you lots of love and thank you as always for watching xxxx
At the tender age of 51, I have finally discovered a skincare routine that works for me. In the last few months, two products that I cannot live without are Sunday Riley's Good Genes lactic acid and Algenist's sleeping collagen. They have done wonders for my skin. I also love the Algenist vitamin C peel. I use it once a week and fell in love with it from the first time I used it.
I have been loving the crave serum but its hard to get here in the Uk which is such a shame as I would love to have it in my routine for those sensitive dry days... Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
My holy grail products are The Ordinary Niacinimide and UpCircle’s Coffee Scrub! Would absolutely love you to review UpCircle. They’re a natural, vegan, cruelty free, eco friendly brand but honestly that’s not even the reason I bought their products, I’m not one of these “natural is better!” people in the slightest! But they do a nice sample pack to try their products before you buy the full size which I tried and I fell in love instantly!! The smells, the textures, just absolute bliss. I’ve never had anything nourish my skin better in my life than UpCircle! Would love a review because they’re a relatively small brand that no one talks about!
TO Argireline, TO SubQ, Inkey list Oat cleanser, Niod Re pigment and something form Geek and Gorgeous. I don't thing I can choose just one product... "like choosing a favorite child." But, I think it would be a tie between the SubQ mist and Amino acids. Happy Valentine's Day!!
Haha Patti you know me too well.. I hope you are doing well and sending you lots of love for Valentines Day... top marks for guessing :) and you know what I am loving the amino acids by the ordinary more and more so I wouldn't be suprised to see it appear in this list in the future... sending you lots of love xxxx
Josh Rosebrook Daily Acid Toner, Cosrx Propolis Synergy toner, Niod CAIS and RePigment, Stratia Liquid Gold, Klairs watery oil drop and the water gel and finally SkinFix Barrier Lipid cream
I cant wait to share with you my Stratia review later in the week as I am loving so many of their products too.. Hope you had a great valentines day xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin hahaha I'm telling you right now that it is one of my holy grails for the winter so don't you dare trash it hahaha....watching you! I hope you enjoyed your V day!😍
Hi Rob! As I'm getting older my skin is beggining to be more drying and sensitive, I have very sensitive eyelids so most cleansers and mosturisers sting my face. I looooove k-beauty and j-beauty and my holy grails at this moment are the Sioris "Time is running out" mist and "You look so young" night cream, and the Holika Holika Aloe Vera gel cleanser. To me they are wonderfull for my drying and sensitive skin. Love me some k-beauty. Stay safe
Everytime you ask us to guess your HG products I mentally chant "oat cleansing balm, oat cleansing balm, OAT CLEANSING BALM" and you never let me down 😂 I can't live without the I'm From Rice Toner. I can use it year round but especially in the winter (Southern California is humid during the summer, dry in winter). My skin always needs extra hydration. I got my bf reusable cotton pads with a finger pouch and he looooves them! So convenient!
My guesses are the Oat Cleansing Balm, re:pigment, argireline, subq serum, Blythe presses serum. Back to the video lol 😆 My HG and ride or die is tretinoin. It’s the only anti-aging skincare that really works. I used to get Botox for my forehead lines, but I no longer do that because if tret. I still love Botox and will probably go back to it. But for now, I’m happy with the transformation after using tretinoin 😊 Sending you and yours lots of 💕💜
Haha you know me too well Tina, I am very impressed :) .. I had botox a few years ago and was impressed but I think I had it too early and will go back to it when I am in more need of it if that makes sense as like you say the tret keeps things in order and seems to be doing all the work I need right now.. sending you lots of love xxxx
H Rob happy Valentine's day. I did guess many of the HG's - all but the G&G toner. My top five are as follows: LRP toleraine hydrating cleanser - still looking for a completely cruelty free cleanser i love as much Tretinoin - made the most true benefit to my skin of any product cosrx snail mucin - so soothing and deeply hydrating on my skin (I think I love the dual chamber version even more as it's more hydrating, but have only recently started using that version whereas i've used multiple of the original) G&G apad - the azelaic acid I love the most and it's an excellent ingredient for my skin I have very dry, mature, rosacea and eczema prone skin so my HG's will be different to your picks Rob re differing skin issues. i've tried numerous cleansers and although I have liked a few the LRP never fails - it never stings/burns, it doesn't strip any moisture and removes the residue from oily make up removers. I like the oat cleansing balm, the ordinary squalane cleanser etc, but the toleraine works twice a day every day whereas many work as an occasional use. Best wishes.
Happy valentines day to you too hun... My video today is a morning skincare routine with these products used so I hope that will help... sending you lots of love xxxxx
I love the fact that I guessed literally every single product in this video!! hahaha Also, I own 4 of the 5 products because of you! Absolutely in love with them, especially the SubQ Skin, there can’t be enough hype for it 🤩 xxx
Haha OMG thats amazing, you know me too well hun :) I totally agree with you on the SubQ it needs all the hype in the world for sure ... sending you lots of love xxxx
Ok Celia so you know me too well lol and you know I could never do a video and stick to the right number of product recommendations... I hope you are keeping well and sending you lots of love for Valentines Day.. xxx
I knew the SubQ would be on this list!! My new favorite serum is the Maelove Hydrator gel with resveratrol. I love the idea of getting panthenol and some antioxidant too! And it really cools down my face. Happy Valentines day!
Haha you know me too well and I love the subq so much... I will have to try that Maelove product as it sounds amazing so thank you so much for the recommendation... sending you lots of love xxxxx
I ha e just started using the pay cleansing balm. I think I like it. But it doesn't seem to remove makeup as well as I would like, especially eye makeup. But maybe I'm doing it wrong. Soni use on damp skin? And it seems like I have to use a lot to get it to spread all over my face and neck. Might like it better as a second cleans. But it does feel great. Now I just need a good makeup remover for dry skin! Love that I just found you. Watching all the great sunscreen content. Thank you!
No, you're surely not the only one. I absolutely LOVE Inkey List cleanser! It's by far my fave! Same as you - I highly recommend to everyone. As always, great video:) Love to all xxx
I am not really celebrating Valentines day, we just had a chill nice day with my boyfriend 😊 Quick Holy Grails are exist! My new one is the Canmake Mermaid UV gel what I bought via your recommendation. I tried it and I was like: yes yes, this is the texture, the feel, the look I want from my daily sunscreen! I almost finished my first bottle and ordered other two, so thank you for it!
That sounds like a lovely valentines day to me :) sometimes the chill days are the best ones for sure... I am so glad you love the can make its one of the best sunscreens I have tried, though I do wish it would come in a bigger tube lol... sending you lots of love xxxx
I ordered 2 tubes of the oat cleanser after watching your live streaming a couple of days ago :))) You mentioned it there too. I am ditching Paula's Choice cleansers, they sting my eyes :))) Why do you prefer the Inkey List one insted of the squalane one from The Ordinary? I haven't tried the cleanser from The Ordinary but I want to try it one day. That and the one from Krave Beauty.
Do you have a link for the pressed serum? I so appreciate your channel and videos, anytime I have a skincare question I come to your videos. Also so excited about your launch for your own line, I know it's all going to be gorgeous!!! 💕💕💕
I have been using cleansing oil and cleaning balm for my first cleaning routine for a few years now and I have always used Korean and Japanese brands till I tried the inkylist oat cleansing balm. I absolutely love it. I have dry skin and prefer a thicker consistency so that I can massage my skin( previously tried the ordinary oil cleanser and not a fan as the consistency is quite thin and I find myself tucking and pulling my skin a bit too much with that cleanser) the inkylist oil cleanser ticks all my box. Fragrance free, thicker consistency and in a large tube. I’m impressed by this brand . Currently also using their tranexatic acid serum and q10 serum , absolutely love them.
Thank you so so much for sharing hun and I am so so glad you like it as much as me.. I totally agree with your points about it and it works so well to do a facial massage.. Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
Fully expected you to choose the oatmeal balm and the argiriline. I'm so happy I tried them, and you are totally right, holy grails for me now. As for the subQ, is it a replacement for TO copper buffet? You know how much I adore that stuff, it would be hard for me to try something else lol Happy Valentine's day!!!
Haha you know me too well and I am so so glad you are loving the argireline and balm as much as me.. I would say the subq is a like for like on the buffet with copper and it comes down to which texture you like more.. the subq is slightly thicker and will be a little more hydrating where as the buffet with copper is more of a true serum with a glide on texture ... sending you lots of love xxxxx
@@MadAboutSkin Thanks for answering another one of my questions once again lol. Great news, I am convinced that it's the copper peptides themselves that made such a difference in my skin, because the regular buffet was just meh for me. Now I feel like I am not missing out on the subq, since I am obsessed with the copper buffet lol.
happy valentine's day Rob!!!! I think the inkey list cleanser is one of my favourite; as a second step or as a facial mask!!! i've been looking so long for those pads!!!
I totally agree hun I love the oat balm as a mask its so so hydrating... I hope you love the pads as much as me I have been so so impressed and I am obsessed with them now lol ... Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
OOOOH thats so hard to choose and I would have to go for the geek and gorgeous c glow in terms of pure form vitamin c and the ordinary Ascorbyl tetraisopaamitate for a vitamin c derivative... sending you lots of love xxxx
Happy valentine's day! Thanks for the great recommendations. I'm looking forward to trying the facetheory azelaic acid because you always have recommended it so well. I just ordered it using your discount code (thanks for that also). I realized that they ship to the US! In fact, because I bought two bottles, shipping was free. Was not expecting that.
I tried the oat cleansing balm on your recommendation and omg! I'm on my second tube now.... it's an amazing mask for when my oily skin is feeling dehydrated and it also removes all my makeup without stinging my eyes! I've also got the azeclear sitting waiting in my draw for when I use up some other products
yes yes yes I am so so glad you love it much as me :) its the best isn't it... the inkey list have a new gel cleanser coming out for brightening the skin and I cant wait to try it... sending you lots of love xxxx
My skin got really irritated from the cold and Glow Recipes banana souffle moisturizer calmed it down. It seemed gimmicky but it worked great. I will use forever.
HappY Valentine’s DaY ... hope you are staying safe & doing well! Surprised no Alpha H products were mentioned ... 💗 their serums!!! Their Vitamin B with Niacinamide, Vitamin A with .5 % Retinol, and Vitamin C with Grape Seed serums are all sooooooo good! Definitely worth checking out imo!
Happy Valentines Day to you too hun... I love love love alpha H so much and I have been using them for the past 7 months so planning on doing an update video.. Their balancing cleanser is my summer go to for sure... sending you lots of love xxxx
Haha you won't believe it but I have 3 new brand review videos coming out this week from brands I havent mentioned before lol... you will be shocked... Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
Hi hun thank you so much for watching and yes it does, it will emulsify quickly and doesn't leave a residue behind... Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
I knew the oat cleansing balm would be there 😂 The NIOD was also expected, but I was sure the facetheory azelaic acid would be in the top 5 😲 I still have to try loads of these, but my HG so far I think has to be the Laneige cream skin, I can’t really explain why but it feels so so nice on the skin, it’s such a treat 🥰
Haha you know me too much hun, and I regret not putting the facetheory azeclear in there and it would be top 10 for sure as its one of my favourite for sure... sending you lots of love xxxxx
NEW SUBSCRIBER - I’ve just started using the inky list oat cleanser - it’s saved my super super sensitive and irritated skin, saw your video about this and thought I’d give it ago - WOW thank you 😁😁😁
Awww thank you so so much for supporting the channel, it means a lot to me.. I love the oat balm so I am so glad you are loving it too hun... Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
Great video! Has the Face Theory Azeclear Serum been discontinued? Or maybe it's a product only sold in the UK (I'm in Canada)? The link to the Azeclear serum just takes me to the home page.
Happy Valentines Day! So, in no particular order, the top 5 will be... the oat cleansing balm, sub q skin, Niod re-pigment, lactic acid 10% and the geek and gorgeous hydration toner...
@@MadAboutSkin only 4/5?! LOL. Still watching the video and so far I’m 3 for 3... if I had to add one other product it would be the argireline solution instead of repigment! LOL. Sending lots of love! XXX
Boots used to sell the SubQ, I'd forgotten all about it! Might give that another go. Thanks for the M & S body butter tip - I'm currently using Nuxe Reve de Miel which is a bit spendy, looks like this could be a good dupe.
OMG I didnt know boots used to sell it, wish they did again as that would be amazing... I hope you love the M&S butter, I agree its a total dupe :) xxxx
I use my freshly washed hands to apply all of my skincare, but I’m curious as to what you use the cotton pads for? I’m intrigued by them and was thinking they would be good for cleansing.
hey hun they are good for wiping off cleanser for sure and I use them to apply exfoliating tonics but its not essential if you are happy to use your hands.. sending you lots of love xxxxx
Hi Rob! Can I use TO argireline and NIOD copper amino isolate at the same time? AND does it make sense to use argireline instead of caffeine solution around the eyes to reduce wrinkles and puffiness? Or in combination? Thanks ☺️
I love your channel but I need some advice if possible, I use the ordinary HA, Matryxi and mix 2% Granactive retinol into my moisturiser (but not around my eyes) however a couple of weeks ago my orbital bone right into the corner and over my eye lid became really dry and sore, I looked like I had a black eye! The underneath is now so so dry even putting cerave cream around my eyes and even vaseline over the top to seal in moisture, looks awful with concealer on, what would you suggest? Thank you
Wow I am impressed with he guesses for sure won't say how you did until you have seen the end of the video lol.. I hope all is amazing with you. Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
Haha there were no shocks I dont think though I am trying out Stratia skincare at the moment and loving a lot of the products so they may be featuring soon too... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Ok so i am paused and guessing.. Subq serum, re pigment, argireline and the niod cleanser.. For my 5th i will choose the toner you always mention and love and which i have not been able to try yet lol.. Happy Valentines day x
pauline you know me well and 4/5 so I am impressed :) you should try the geek and gorgeous serum I am sure you will love it.. Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
Awww thank you so so much hun and I hope you had a wonderful Valentines Day... I hope you love the balm and subq as much as me... sending you lots of love xxxx
Soso great. I'm dealing with hooded eyes, and look for products to firm and plump that area. Do you think the hylamide subQ would be able help to firm that. So you have any other suggestions especially for over the eye/eye lit firmness. It's actually my Nr 1 issue. Usually puffiness and dark circles and wrinkles are addressed, but to firm the upper the eye area not so much. Would be so happy about recommendations. ❤️🙏🏻 Lots of love and thanks to You.
Hey hun, they are great for sure and i love all their products... the high strength retinol is back in stock next week apparently so keep checking back... Sending you lots of love xxxxx
Everyone saw that TIK Oat cleansing Balm coming in this video from a mile away😜 Holy grail products for me are probably the Avene Tolerance Emulsion (SO good when everything is just causing your skin to be even more sensitive) and the Pyungkang Yul Essence toner!! Sending love x
Haha I promise after this I won't mention the balm again for another week lol... Thank you so so much for sharing your favourites... Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
I like reusable cotton rounds for removing makeup (works great with eye makeup remover), but have always struggled to use them to apply toner (the towel-like texture absorbs way too much product). Are the Face Theory ones good for that? P.S. I've recently figured out that pure azelaic acid makes my skin itch if I use it too soon after cleansing. (It happened with both Curology and The Ordinary.) The workaround to avoid this is to wait between 20-minutes to an hour before applying it, but I don't have time for that lol. So far, it seems like the derivative (potassium azeloyl diglycinate, like in Naturium and Geek & Gorgeous) does not irritate my skin as much.
Thats such a good point they do tend to soak up more product than if you use your fingers alone.. I would say the face theory ones absorb as much as a disposable one so less than some of the other reusable ones but still more than if you just used your hands so I limit my use of them. I think you are right with the cleansing observation as in theory all water based drums absorb better and deeper on damp skin which can cause them to be more irritating.. this is why I usually say to people to apply retinol to bone dry skin when they first start to use it as it will minimise the absorption and help buffer it somewhat ... sending you lots of love xxxxx
hey Rob, Happy Valentine's Day. Join me in my Happy Victory Dance on guessing your top 5. I blasted through and got ONE out of FIVE--whoop-tee-doo--and I use it too. yeah to Hylamide's SubQ Skin. Sending the best of love in your direction ~ P
Hi hun, yes it will hun in fact you can use them together but if you have the subq then you dont NEED the argireline if that makes sense... Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
Paused and I’m guessing: SubQ skin; Re: Pigment; That niod cleanser beginning with s I’m sure there is an inky list and geek and gorgeous products too but can’t think of the exact ones...
Hey hun it does contain Hyaluronic Acid so I would avoid it if you have a sensitivity to it but it is better than the buffet for sure so if you can tolerate a small about of HA then its worth trying for sure... sending you lots of love xxxx
Hi hun so so sorry I forgot to link it which I will correct.. Its the blithe pressed serum which I got off StyleVana.. Sending you lots of love and I will try to talk slower as I know I am a little fast when I get excited... sending you lots of love xxxx
Hi! I went detective on that moisturizer hahahah Rob does not mention which pressed serum is, there are several types, and the package he is holding looks like it could be either the velvet yam or the crystal ice plant. I tried pausing and zooming but gosh, couldn't see anything. So I went back to some older videos where he reviews Korean brands and I found one video where he mentions the pressed serum from Blithe,and it's the crystal iceplant one. Already ordered it. I trust Rob and I trust that this will make humid summers more enjoyable.
I just started using the granactice retinoid 2 percent emulsion from the ordinary I'm hoping that it works I have uneven skin tone I see a few white spots that I'm hoping will go away, I'm tempted in buying the inkey list retinol as well. Would you recommend a retinol which is best from the ordinary and or a different company? Happy Valentines day by the way.
Happy Valentines Day to you too hun and I think the Granactive from the ordinary will work really well for you so I would keep using that one.. the results will take a few bottles to show but they are worth it for when they do... sending you lots of love xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin I'm hearing that it does take a while to see results, to be honest I was getting a little frustrated I havent been seeing results from using the niacinamide and Azelaic acid but I've barely been using those two for 2 weeks, I guess I have to give it more time. Thank you for the tip man I really appreciate it. By the way last night was the first time using the Granactice I used it in the PM at first I cleansed my face then applied Niacinamide after then I applied the Granactice emulsion followed up with a moisturizer, how often should I use the Granactice? I didn't get no irritation at all I woke up washed my face then applied Niacinamide, Azelaic acid and my moisturizer is this ok to do?
Hey hun, no problem at all. The ones I have tried and loved are the Geek and Gorgeous, the face theory azaclear serum, the naturium azelaic acid and Revolution Skincare do a really good cream with it in which I love too ... sending you lots of love xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin Feeling bad for jumping again on this question :(( I tried zooming in but can't figure out whether the Pressed Serum you are holding is the 'velvet yam' or the 'cristal iceplant'. There are 4 types of this pressed serum. When you described it sounded like this product would be perfect for summer time.
Hey hun so sorry this is the link to it www.facetheory.com/products/azeclear-a15-azelaic-acid-serum its still available but it may not be available in your country which is maybe why it is not showing... seining you lots of love xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin thank you so much ^-^; unfortunately i didnt find the product (expat in china - im sure it is out there but the struggle of language barrier is real)
hi hun they work in the same way but the argireline is a boost for the anti ageing which is why I like to use them together but you could use the subq instead of the argireline for sure... sending you lots of love xxxx
Thanks a lot for this video. I've just placed my order on facetheory.com using your discount code. I bought Azeclear serum and Exaglow serum because for my hyperpigmentation.I watch all your videos and found them very helpful. I am from Cyprus.
Awww thank you so so much for watching and supporting the channel... I love both the azeclear and the exaglow so I really hope they work for you hun and let me know what you think of them... sending you lots of love from the UK xxxx

My guesses are the Oat Cleansing Balm, re:pigment, argireline, subq serum, Blythe presses serum.
Back to the video lol 😆
My HG and ride or die is tretinoin. It’s the only anti-aging skincare that really works. I used to get Botox for my forehead lines, but I no longer do that because if tret.
I still love Botox and will probably go back to it. But for now, I’m happy with the transformation after using tretinoin 😊

H Rob happy Valentine's day. I did guess many of the HG's - all but the G&G toner. My top five are as follows:
LRP toleraine hydrating cleanser - still looking for a completely cruelty free cleanser i love as much
Tretinoin - made the most true benefit to my skin of any product
cosrx snail mucin - so soothing and deeply hydrating on my skin (I think I love the dual chamber version even more as it's more hydrating, but have only recently started using that version whereas i've used multiple of the original)
G&G apad - the azelaic acid I love the most and it's an excellent ingredient for my skin
I have very dry, mature, rosacea and eczema prone skin so my HG's will be different to your picks Rob re differing skin issues. i've tried numerous cleansers and although I have liked a few the LRP never fails - it never stings/burns, it doesn't strip any moisture and removes the residue from oily make up removers. I like the oat cleansing balm, the ordinary squalane cleanser etc, but the toleraine works twice a day every day whereas many work as an occasional use. Best wishes.
Happy Valentine’s Rob. Pls do a video on how to use these products as part of skin care routine: the frequency, am/pm, layering sequence etc
Happy valentines day to you too hun... My video today is a morning skincare routine with these products used so I hope that will help... sending you lots of love xxxxx

Quick Holy Grails are exist! My new one is the Canmake Mermaid UV gel what I bought via your recommendation. I tried it and I was like: yes yes, this is the texture, the feel, the look I want from my daily sunscreen! I almost finished my first bottle and ordered other two, so thank you for it!
That sounds like a lovely valentines day to me :) sometimes the chill days are the best ones for sure...
I am so glad you love the can make its one of the best sunscreens I have tried, though I do wish it would come in a bigger tube lol... sending you lots of love xxxx
I ordered 2 tubes of the oat cleanser after watching your live streaming a couple of days ago :))) You mentioned it there too. I am ditching Paula's Choice cleansers, they sting my eyes :))) Why do you prefer the Inkey List one insted of the squalane one from The Ordinary? I haven't tried the cleanser from The Ordinary but I want to try it one day. That and the one from Krave Beauty.
Guessing SubQ skin will most definitely be on this list!
Haha you know me too well, I couldn't do without that serum... xxxx
Love your attitude ♥️
I know you said five, but I’m going to watch the video and see if you sneak in one or two extra! ❤️
Haha you know I can never resist lol xxxx
Do you have a link for the pressed serum?
I so appreciate your channel and videos, anytime I have a skincare question I come to your videos. Also so excited about your launch for your own line, I know it's all going to be gorgeous!!! 💕💕💕
I have been using cleansing oil and cleaning balm for my first cleaning routine for a few years now and I have always used Korean and Japanese brands till I tried the inkylist oat cleansing balm. I absolutely love it. I have dry skin and prefer a thicker consistency so that I can massage my skin( previously tried the ordinary oil cleanser and not a fan as the consistency is quite thin and I find myself tucking and pulling my skin a bit too much with that cleanser) the inkylist oil cleanser ticks all my box. Fragrance free, thicker consistency and in a large tube. I’m impressed by this brand . Currently also using their tranexatic acid serum and q10 serum , absolutely love them.
Thank you so so much for sharing hun and I am so so glad you like it as much as me.. I totally agree with your points about it and it works so well to do a facial massage.. Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
Fully expected you to choose the oatmeal balm and the argiriline. I'm so happy I tried them, and you are totally right, holy grails for me now. As for the subQ, is it a replacement for TO copper buffet? You know how much I adore that stuff, it would be hard for me to try something else lol Happy Valentine's day!!!
Haha you know me too well and I am so so glad you are loving the argireline and balm as much as me.. I would say the subq is a like for like on the buffet with copper and it comes down to which texture you like more.. the subq is slightly thicker and will be a little more hydrating where as the buffet with copper is more of a true serum with a glide on texture ... sending you lots of love xxxxx
@@MadAboutSkin Thanks for answering another one of my questions once again lol. Great news, I am convinced that it's the copper peptides themselves that made such a difference in my skin, because the regular buffet was just meh for me. Now I feel like I am not missing out on the subq, since I am obsessed with the copper buffet lol.
happy valentine's day Rob!!!! I think the inkey list cleanser is one of my favourite; as a second step or as a facial mask!!! i've been looking so long for those pads!!!
I totally agree hun I love the oat balm as a mask its so so hydrating... I hope you love the pads as much as me I have been so so impressed and I am obsessed with them now lol ... Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
If you had to throw in your all time most loved vitamin C to this list, what would it be?? 💕
OOOOH thats so hard to choose and I would have to go for the geek and gorgeous c glow in terms of pure form vitamin c and the ordinary Ascorbyl tetraisopaamitate for a vitamin c derivative... sending you lots of love xxxx
I think you would really like the Tia’m VitaB5 toner! You can get it in YesStyle and it’s so lightweight and hydrating and wonderful 😊
Thank you so so much for the recommendation hun I will have to check it out xxxxx
Happy valentine's day! Thanks for the great recommendations. I'm looking forward to trying the facetheory azelaic acid because you always have recommended it so well. I just ordered it using your discount code (thanks for that also). I realized that they ship to the US! In fact, because I bought two bottles, shipping was free. Was not expecting that.
I bought my mum the subQ and I bought myself the argireline solution. One word: AMAZING! Thxxx
Awww amazing I am so so glad you love them both as much as I do... sending you lots of love xxxx
I tried the oat cleansing balm on your recommendation and omg! I'm on my second tube now.... it's an amazing mask for when my oily skin is feeling dehydrated and it also removes all my makeup without stinging my eyes! I've also got the azeclear sitting waiting in my draw for when I use up some other products
yes yes yes I am so so glad you love it much as me :) its the best isn't it... the inkey list have a new gel cleanser coming out for brightening the skin and I cant wait to try it... sending you lots of love xxxx
I found your channel because of Argireline ;-) and am so glad. Happy Valentines Day.
haha amazing thank you so so much for supporting the channel.. Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
My skin got really irritated from the cold and Glow Recipes banana souffle moisturizer calmed it down. It seemed gimmicky but it worked great. I will use forever.
Awww than you so so much for the recommendation hun I will have to check it out as it sounds great... sending you lots of love xxxx
Happy Valentines Day! Thanks for sharing all the information! ❤
Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
HappY Valentine’s DaY ... hope you are staying safe & doing well! Surprised no Alpha H products were mentioned ... 💗 their serums!!! Their Vitamin B with Niacinamide, Vitamin A with .5 % Retinol, and Vitamin C with Grape Seed serums are all sooooooo good! Definitely worth checking out imo!
Happy Valentines Day to you too hun... I love love love alpha H so much and I have been using them for the past 7 months so planning on doing an update video.. Their balancing cleanser is my summer go to for sure... sending you lots of love xxxx
Happy Valentines Robert ♥️😁!! Love hearing about your faves, again and again in every configuration lol!
Haha you won't believe it but I have 3 new brand review videos coming out this week from brands I havent mentioned before lol... you will be shocked... Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx

Soooo much love to you!!!!
💕😊🇨🇦
Thank you so so much hun, I hope you had a wonderful Valentines Day.. sending you so much love xxxx
Does the inkey list cleansing balm emulsify well? I’ve been using the Clinique take the day off balm and it turns milky instantly!
Hi hun thank you so much for watching and yes it does, it will emulsify quickly and doesn't leave a residue behind... Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
I knew the oat cleansing balm would be there 😂
The NIOD was also expected, but I was sure the facetheory azelaic acid would be in the top 5 😲
I still have to try loads of these, but my HG so far I think has to be the Laneige cream skin, I can’t really explain why but it feels so so nice on the skin, it’s such a treat 🥰
Haha you know me too much hun, and I regret not putting the facetheory azeclear in there and it would be top 10 for sure as its one of my favourite for sure... sending you lots of love xxxxx
4.5 out of 5 - I knew 4 of them for sure, and knew you will include a product from G&G, but didn’t know which one- so I gave my self half a point....
haha Gigi I think thats totally fair scoring :) you know me too well... sending you lots of love xxxx
Live my Sub Q!! I waited like 2 months to get the mist (I ordered2 lol). Looking forward to trying it soon.
I have just discovered the regenecalm retinol serum from facetheory and Oh. My. Immediately a holy grail 🤩
NEW SUBSCRIBER - I’ve just started using the inky list oat cleanser - it’s saved my super super sensitive and irritated skin, saw your video about this and thought I’d give it ago - WOW thank you 😁😁😁
Awww thank you so so much for supporting the channel, it means a lot to me.. I love the oat balm so I am so glad you are loving it too hun... Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
Great video! Has the Face Theory Azeclear Serum been discontinued? Or maybe it's a product only sold in the UK (I'm in Canada)? The link to the Azeclear serum just takes me to the home page.
Happy Valentines Day! So, in no particular order, the top 5 will be... the oat cleansing balm, sub q skin, Niod re-pigment, lactic acid 10% and the geek and gorgeous hydration toner...
OMG Tom you know me too well and 4/5 Is pretty good going I am very impressed... Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin only 4/5?! LOL. Still watching the video and so far I’m 3 for 3... if I had to add one other product it would be the argireline solution instead of repigment! LOL. Sending lots of love! XXX
Damn! So close to 5/5! LOL
Boots used to sell the SubQ, I'd forgotten all about it! Might give that another go. Thanks for the M & S body butter tip - I'm currently using Nuxe Reve de Miel which is a bit spendy, looks like this could be a good dupe.
OMG I didnt know boots used to sell it, wish they did again as that would be amazing... I hope you love the M&S butter, I agree its a total dupe :) xxxx
I use my freshly washed hands to apply all of my skincare, but I’m curious as to what you use the cotton pads for?
I’m intrigued by them and was thinking they would be good for cleansing.
hey hun they are good for wiping off cleanser for sure and I use them to apply exfoliating tonics but its not essential if you are happy to use your hands.. sending you lots of love xxxxx
Hi Rob!
Can I use TO argireline and NIOD copper amino isolate at the same time? AND does it make sense to use argireline instead of caffeine solution around the eyes to reduce wrinkles and puffiness? Or in combination? Thanks ☺️
I love your channel but I need some advice if possible, I use the ordinary HA, Matryxi and mix 2% Granactive retinol into my moisturiser (but not around my eyes) however a couple of weeks ago my orbital bone right into the corner and over my eye lid became really dry and sore, I looked like I had a black eye! The underneath is now so so dry even putting cerave cream around my eyes and even vaseline over the top to seal in moisture, looks awful with concealer on, what would you suggest? Thank you
Hmmm... Let's wait to the end of the video and see how many did I guess!🤭
I think subq serum, re:pigment, the g&g toner, to argireline and survival..
Wow I am impressed with he guesses for sure won't say how you did until you have seen the end of the video lol.. I hope all is amazing with you. Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
Mine are, TO squalane cleanser, sub q, re:pigment, bio-lipid concentrate, FECC, argireline and the ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate 20%
@@MadAboutSkin so far 2 guesses!🤭 I totally forgot the inkey list cleanser ..🤦♀️
I wish you too an awesome Valentine's Day!💞💞😘😘💞💞
@@MadAboutSkin a lot of people guessed it right!!! You should be proud of how good we listen to you!🤭🤭
Send you a big hug and kiss!!😘😘😘
Wow how not shocking!! lol :)
Happy Valentine's Day, Beautiful! 😘
Haha there were no shocks I dont think though I am trying out Stratia skincare at the moment and loving a lot of the products so they may be featuring soon too... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Ok so i am paused and guessing.. Subq serum, re pigment, argireline and the niod cleanser.. For my 5th i will choose the toner you always mention and love and which i have not been able to try yet lol.. Happy Valentines day x
pauline you know me well and 4/5 so I am impressed :) you should try the geek and gorgeous serum I am sure you will love it.. Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
Happy Valentine's! Always good reccomendations. I got the oatmeal balm and still waiting on my sub Q skin.
Awww thank you so so much hun and I hope you had a wonderful Valentines Day... I hope you love the balm and subq as much as me... sending you lots of love xxxx
i think i'll try the re pigment. i'm so fair that my pigmentation is bright red and i've tried everything... thanks for the rec! happy v day.
Its a total pleasure hun and I hope it works for you hun, keep me posted.. Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
Love your videos! Your skin is gorj too! 😍❤️ x
Awww thank you so so much hun you are too kind... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Soso great. I'm dealing with hooded eyes, and look for products to firm and plump that area. Do you think the hylamide subQ would be able help to firm that. So you have any other suggestions especially for over the eye/eye lit firmness. It's actually my Nr 1 issue. Usually puffiness and dark circles and wrinkles are addressed, but to firm the upper the eye area not so much. Would be so happy about recommendations. ❤️🙏🏻
Lots of love and thanks to You.
Happy Valentines day!
Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
Ooh need to keep an eye on Geek&Gorgeous, they look very promising! Too bad their stronger retinal was already sold out.
Hey hun, they are great for sure and i love all their products... the high strength retinol is back in stock next week apparently so keep checking back... Sending you lots of love xxxxx
Sending you Valentine’s positivity and love ❤️
Thank you so much hun, I hope you had a wonderful valentines day and sending you lots of love xxxx
Happy Valentines day! I could guess the Sub Q, Argireline and the Re:pigment out of the 5 😅 Sending lots of love!! Xx
Oh I am impressed with the guesses hun :) Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
Everyone saw that TIK Oat cleansing Balm coming in this video from a mile away😜 Holy grail products for me are probably the Avene Tolerance Emulsion (SO good when everything is just causing your skin to be even more sensitive) and the Pyungkang Yul Essence toner!! Sending love x
Haha I promise after this I won't mention the balm again for another week lol... Thank you so so much for sharing your favourites... Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
I like reusable cotton rounds for removing makeup (works great with eye makeup remover), but have always struggled to use them to apply toner (the towel-like texture absorbs way too much product). Are the Face Theory ones good for that?
P.S. I've recently figured out that pure azelaic acid makes my skin itch if I use it too soon after cleansing. (It happened with both Curology and The Ordinary.) The workaround to avoid this is to wait between 20-minutes to an hour before applying it, but I don't have time for that lol. So far, it seems like the derivative (potassium azeloyl diglycinate, like in Naturium and Geek & Gorgeous) does not irritate my skin as much.
Thats such a good point they do tend to soak up more product than if you use your fingers alone.. I would say the face theory ones absorb as much as a disposable one so less than some of the other reusable ones but still more than if you just used your hands so I limit my use of them.
I think you are right with the cleansing observation as in theory all water based drums absorb better and deeper on damp skin which can cause them to be more irritating.. this is why I usually say to people to apply retinol to bone dry skin when they first start to use it as it will minimise the absorption and help buffer it somewhat ...
sending you lots of love xxxxx
I guessed: The Oat Cleansing Balm, Re Pigment, Sub Q Skin, TO Lactic Acid and The Inkey List Retinol - so 3 out of 5 ;)
Oh well guessed hun you know me too well :) ... Sending you lots of love xxxx
hey Rob, Happy Valentine's Day. Join me in my Happy Victory Dance on guessing your top 5. I blasted through and got ONE out of FIVE--whoop-tee-doo--and I use it too. yeah to Hylamide's SubQ Skin. Sending the best of love in your direction ~ P
Haha Happy valentines day to you too hun... I hope you had a wonderful day :) sending you a huge hug xxxxx
Gonna guess the oat balm... q10 from niod...
haha you know me too well I love the oat balm so much... sending you lots of love xxxx
Hi Rob
Thanks for the video! Will the sub q give the same results on wrinkles and anti age as the argireline? The “Botox in a bottle” promise ☺️
Hi hun, yes it will hun in fact you can use them together but if you have the subq then you dont NEED the argireline if that makes sense... Happy Valentines Day and sending you lots and lots of love xxxx
Paused and I’m guessing:
SubQ skin; Re: Pigment; That niod cleanser beginning with s
I’m sure there is an inky list and geek and gorgeous products too but can’t think of the exact ones...
I can’t believe I went for the wrong cleanser! I should have got that right. I am surprised that the alpha arbutin 2% from TO!
Well guessed and you can have a point for the NIOD cleanser as thats my evening favourite for sure :) sending you lots of love xxxxx
Can you use the agireline with vitamin C I wonder?
Hi hun, yes you can as its a stable peptide and I use them together all the time...xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin well look out! I’m all over it!
I really wish I could purchase Face Theory here in the Philippines. I’ve been dying to try it
Oh I hope they ship there soon as they have so many good products which are totally worth checking out xxxx
has the niod re:pigment worked on more reddish acne marks (PIE) for you? or is it more for "normal" hyperpigmentation?
Hi hun, it works best on standard hyperpigmentation but it has also helped my PIE too which is good... sending you lots of love xxxx
Happy Valentine's Rob, would the SubQ Skin suit someone that can't use hydraulonic acid and would it be better than the buffet
Hey hun it does contain Hyaluronic Acid so I would avoid it if you have a sensitivity to it but it is better than the buffet for sure so if you can tolerate a small about of HA then its worth trying for sure... sending you lots of love xxxx
What was the Korean moisturizer you mentioned at the end of the vid? Rob, I love your enthusiasm but can you speak just a bit slower? 😀
Hi hun so so sorry I forgot to link it which I will correct.. Its the blithe pressed serum which I got off StyleVana.. Sending you lots of love and I will try to talk slower as I know I am a little fast when I get excited... sending you lots of love xxxx
Hi! I went detective on that moisturizer hahahah Rob does not mention which pressed serum is, there are several types, and the package he is holding looks like it could be either the velvet yam or the crystal ice plant. I tried pausing and zooming but gosh, couldn't see anything. So I went back to some older videos where he reviews Korean brands and I found one video where he mentions the pressed serum from Blithe,and it's the crystal iceplant one. Already ordered it. I trust Rob and I trust that this will make humid summers more enjoyable.
Survival 0, Inkey Oat Cleansing balm, Niod CA Isolate?
Haha you know me well, I could have a full routine just NIOD to be honest lol I love all their products.. sending you lots of love xxxxx
I just started using the granactice retinoid 2 percent emulsion from the ordinary I'm hoping that it works I have uneven skin tone I see a few white spots that I'm hoping will go away, I'm tempted in buying the inkey list retinol as well. Would you recommend a retinol which is best from the ordinary and or a different company? Happy Valentines day by the way.
Happy Valentines Day to you too hun and I think the Granactive from the ordinary will work really well for you so I would keep using that one.. the results will take a few bottles to show but they are worth it for when they do... sending you lots of love xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin I'm hearing that it does take a while to see results, to be honest I was getting a little frustrated I havent been seeing results from using the niacinamide and Azelaic acid but I've barely been using those two for 2 weeks, I guess I have to give it more time. Thank you for the tip man I really appreciate it. By the way last night was the first time using the Granactice I used it in the PM at first I cleansed my face then applied Niacinamide after then I applied the Granactice emulsion followed up with a moisturizer, how often should I use the Granactice? I didn't get no irritation at all I woke up washed my face then applied Niacinamide, Azelaic acid and my moisturizer is this ok to do?
Everytime I search for the Azeclear, it says its not available, is it not available in US? :/
Hi, Rob: Could you let us know what other brands of azelaic acids you like?
Thanks
Hey hun, no problem at all. The ones I have tried and loved are the Geek and Gorgeous, the face theory azaclear serum, the naturium azelaic acid and Revolution Skincare do a really good cream with it in which I love too ... sending you lots of love xxxx
Just watching this n I’m going to guess one is Argerline(probably spelt that wrong need to check my bottle)
What is the name of the gel moisturizer for summer? Sorry I couldn't understand :)
Hey hun no problem its the Blithe pressed serum which I bought on StyleVana.. Sending you lots of love xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin Thank you~~~~
@@MadAboutSkin Feeling bad for jumping again on this question :(( I tried zooming in but can't figure out whether the Pressed Serum you are holding is the 'velvet yam' or the 'cristal iceplant'. There are 4 types of this pressed serum. When you described it sounded like this product would be perfect for summer time.
The azeclear doesn’t show up on the face theory website for me and the link just goes to the home page :( is it a discontinued product?
Hey hun so sorry this is the link to it www.facetheory.com/products/azeclear-a15-azelaic-acid-serum its still available but it may not be available in your country which is maybe why it is not showing... seining you lots of love xxxx
sorry what's the honorable korean moisturizer? i didnt quite get the name of it (unfamiliar) -i tried a number of times to replay
Hi hun its the Blithe Pressed serum which is so so good and I would recommend it for sure... sending you lots of love xxxxx
@@MadAboutSkin thank you so much ^-^; unfortunately i didnt find the product (expat in china - im sure it is out there but the struggle of language barrier is real)
Tonic is just necessary when you do exfoliant ?
Hey hun you dont need to use one but it is nice to balance the skin back out.. sending you lots of love xxxx
Does subQ skin not do what the argireline does?
hi hun they work in the same way but the argireline is a boost for the anti ageing which is why I like to use them together but you could use the subq instead of the argireline for sure... sending you lots of love xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin okay thanks for clearing that up 😊
Thanks a lot for this video. I've just placed my order on facetheory.com using your discount code. I bought Azeclear serum and Exaglow serum because for my hyperpigmentation.I watch all your videos and found them very helpful. I am from Cyprus.
Awww thank you so so much for watching and supporting the channel... I love both the azeclear and the exaglow so I really hope they work for you hun and let me know what you think of them... sending you lots of love from the UK xxxx
