I'm a skincare formulation student, I just looked up the INCI list the ingredients although efficient are nothing exceptional and are commonly found in other skincare creams, the secret complex is at less than 1%, I can tell because it's cited after the vitamin E (you legally have to tell the ingredients in descending order of concentration, and if under less than 1% it can be any order at the end)which is an antioxidant for the oil part(sunflower oil, argan, squalane and borage) that prevent them to go rancid, and you can't use more than 0.5% of vitamin E in a formulation. The instant line smoothing ingredient is last which are peptides. So I can see why it works so well but although peptides are expensive I'm not sure the whole product is worth the price.
I want to know what skincare YOU use?? I have so many products and I switch them out trying to use them all but I feel like that’s probably not good. I probably should use the same ones? I watch so many channels for recommendations but then I get overwhelmed with information and forget most of it 🤦🏼♀️😹😭 I just want a friend like you to tell me what to do and I’ll listen 😊 even if you don’t reply, thank you for your original comment.
Sorry this is unrelated but how did you get into skincare formulation as a career? Asking because I am very interested in that myself! Thank you if you reply :)
Not sure where you're studying but tocopherol can be used up to 1% as a stabilizer against product oxidation and is frequently included in amounts up to 2.5% in non-prescription skin preparations that are designed to provide anti-aging or anti-irritant benefits. I've worked in R&D for multiple mass & prestige lines and have never heard of a 0.5% limit.
Thank you for your insight and truth. It sure if you have a UA-cam channel, but I’d be awfully interested if you did... Telling us the truth good or bad would be amazingly helpful to many people. Thanks again!
I loved the Bader 5ml sample I had from Barneys (RIP) I don’t know about difference, but I loved how my skin looked and felt at the time. Very rich and hydrating. That said, my skin looks awesome while using CeraVe.
aija parlagreko Don't use bronzer or contour like the beauty influencers do. I have fair skin also, it's very hard to get bronzer to look right. It's best to just to use some on your cheeks and then use your blush to make it look more natural. Make sure to get a bronzer that is more cool toned. Not golden or too dark.
I'm a little disappointed. I made a new years resolution and will stick to it: no more buying makeup or skincare for a year. I have enough of both to last a good few years honestly. I just bought my first house and I just need to save right now. I want this so badly just by your description but I'm staying firm. I hope in a year that its a little less expensive or there's a decent dupe. Wayne you look amazing!
The same here for the same reason. I’m also doing a year with no buying new clothes, vintage or otherwise. It’s equally not so difficult as I have plenty.
I bought the the cream last year during quarantine through nordstrom because I had a beauty coupon. It was hard to use just the cream and nothing else. I have multiple serums I like to layer and the directions are just to put on bare skin first. I have the priming moisturizer as well. I only purchased 1x because I didn't think for the price this is worth it.
I have the VB primer in Golden and it is beautiful. I can’t say I’ve seen any lasting benefits yet but it looks just lovely on the skin. So glow-y and a little bit bronzed. I don’t know if people with oily skin would like it but for us dry skinned folks it’s perfection.
I have been using The Cream since December 1 and I couldn’t be happier. I was layering five or six things on so The Cream alone is about the same price. I love all the time I’ve gotten back from being able to use just one product!
I have tried The Cream and the VB primer. I loved it, minus the steep price. I tried other less expensive alternatives and I am now back to the primer. There’s something really special about the products and my 52yr old skin really loves.
I had purchased VB serum and was shocked that the serum came in a clear bottle and also found dispensing was rather awkward(prefer drops). All serums with C an E etc...should be in a dark bottle to preserve the serum. What’s your thoughts on that? You are just too cute. I am afraid to try the creams for fear of loving it like you.💕
In all honesty, I've never even heard of Augustinus Bader.. but I would have expected anything by Victoria B would be outta my price range. I've eyed some of her products in the past and they're all very expensive for me.
Me neither after putting her 30 VB fashion employees on furlough at the expense of the British tax payer when they have a joint personal fortune of nearly £500,000,000!
I’ve been using the system for a year and completely agree. I’ve also had compliments on my skin. The cleanser is great. I use the cream in warm climates and the rich cream in cold climates. Love Victoria’s original and bronzed primer. I tried the serum when it first came out, I used it up. I’ll likely repurchase again. The only product I’m so so on is the toner.
These products are legitimately good. My husband uses the cream religiously and loves it. I have used it in the past with great results but had to switch my products to more hyperpigmentation/acne products and added tretinoin to my routine.
When Wayne says honestly he doesn't get it&then gives the good&sometimes the bad-got to like his way of presenting-finally someone who states the facts¬ like its life or death but makeup
Yes to everything you said!! I have used the AB rich cream and cream and the results are devastatingly good! The thing that I noticed is they were like skin insurance. No matter what was going on in my life (to busy/tired to do a good deep cleanse one night, not drinking enough water, etc.) or environment (hot and humid summer, dry cold fall) my skin was still clear and glowing. I think between the two I actually preferred the cream but with my combo to dry skin I would be interested to try mixing in the AB facial oil to amp up the cream for night. I do wish that I could afford to use them always and forever but I’ll just keep saving my pennies and wait for a sale (violet grey does 20% off occasionally)!
I work in the NHS earning such a low wage and working my arse off every single day! My wages only JUST cover my bills. I have about £47 spare a month. That's not including ANY toiletries, sky TV or any luxuries! Can you imagine that? So these type of prices make my blood go cold!
Hi Danielle, your situation is really absolutely unfair. So heartbreaking how badly nurses and caregivers in general are payed. But let me also say: these products are ridiculously overpriced. I tried the Bader Cream, I tried VB Cosmetics. Stupid me. 🙈 I still prefer CeraVe Creams and my Astor Kohl Liner and Kiko Eyeshadows. I even had to return a VB Eyeliner bc of bubbles in the mine. Anyway. Just my personal opinion. Sending you love .
Thank you for your honest review. FYI, as of now, the VB US link is broken but I was able to search for it on the site. Unfortunately, the VB Golden is EXACTLY what I was looking for: I'm 60 and feel foundation just doesn't look that good on me in daylight anymore; I'm not a "skincare routine" person - I like the one-and-done type of product; with wearing masks all the time, I certainly don't want to wear foundation every day; and, after finally getting a tan this summer since we moved to a house with a pool, my husband told me I looked "better" with a tan. I've already bought it between starting this post and finishing it.
I use the cleansers, exfoliant, rich cream and the body cream - sadly I can’t fault any of them! They’ve made a huge difference. The game changer for me though has been the Chantecaille Bio Lifting Serum, so expensive it brings me to tears but I have found that to be transformative 😭 ❤️
I bought these. I really think skincare is so much more important than makeup. I love Bader. The products are great and you can get some discounts like first purchase 10% then 27 Day challenge 25% off. I purchased b/c Diane Kruger uses his line and her skin is outstanding. She still looks 20 and is like 42. I really enjoyed your video and love your candor!
I used a 2ml sample of the facial oil not knowing a 1single ounce about the brand and price. I truly noticed how amazing the oil made my skin feel after 1st use. I kept on using the sample on and off with my usual elemis skincare, i kept on noticing that it was the oil that changed everything about my skin. It was plump dewy smoothing and hands down the 1st time ever my skin felt hydrated. Nothing has come close. Of course later i went to check for the price, Yes I was gutted, but i had calculated that using just the facial oil alone after a cleanse will replace the need to buy a separate day and night cream, serum, toner and eyecream. It truly replaces everything, therefore I would save more money just by having 1 product that actually works and addresses all my skincare needs. Will be purchasing the £180 full size 30ml.
I've got the original primer, and I found that it doesn't always work the best with all of my foundations. I still use most of my skincare under it as well, so maybe I sabotaged myself, but it's just not universal, so for me probably not a repurchase.
@@WayneGoss I would love to know the amino acids that make up the proprietary complex. My skin has been loving the Buffet + copper peptides from The Ordinary.
Sadly, what little I can find when looking makes me think no, there is not a dupe. I have tried a decent amount of skincare - or at least as much as I can fit in the budget - and I have never gotten the results I got when using the AB creams from just one product, and frankly not even when combining many products. I know the AB creams aren’t magic or unicorn tears but boy are they close for my skin;)
I use the golden primer, it is just amazing! I have oily skin, so I was hesitant at first. But it just gives you the most beautiful glowy finish, without feeling greasy at all. I can’t wait to be able to try the serum as well!
I had a 50ml bottle of the rich cream and I really liked it. For the record I use a prescription retinol, vitamin C, a copper peptide and spf 50. It was very moisturising and lovely to use. I can honestly say I didn't see any change in my skin. It was really just a beautiful moisturiser. I was actually really disappointed as towards the end of the bottle, it separated. This really annoyed me as its so ridiculously expensive. I wouldn't buy it again.
I hate the price as well. But I was curious and bought the smallest bottle and within three days I loved it. My skin looked amazing. It is glowing and radiant. I also have been dealing with very painful body eczema and I bought the body lotion and my affected areas felt relief and was healing within three days.
@@Superwoodwinked I was starting to get eczema on my face that’s when I decided to get The Rich Cream. A friend, who also has eczema, recommended it. I have so many prescriptions for eczema and for some reason none were being as effective as they were in the past. I noticed that the areas clear a bit faster since I started using it. I hope this helps and you get relief for your eczema soon.
I find the wide range (and very reasonable prices) of oils,serums, and direct acids from The Ordinary work beautifully. One can contact parent company Deciem and get a personalized skin care regimen to target specific skin issues. I use them in conjunction with Tretinoin and some of the Perricone MD products. Seems to be working. I think my skin looks good...and not just for my age...and my pocketbook is intact. Love your videos.
At last someone agrees with me 💯 I love the VB and AB products. Although seems a shame to use the primer at night as it is a fabulous make up base. Yes it's sooo spendy and rarely discounted but it does remove the need to have a 11 step routine and shelves full of products. Depends if you trust the TFC-8 formulation because AB states it needs to go first on clean skin to wotk. Sadly I see so many comments that it doesn't work when people have used it after a full routine.
LOL.."what a pearl of wisdom", "gin, vodka perhaps tequila", "clinical gorgeousness"...don't know about the TFC8 system, but the humour here is definitely superlative :-D The "honest salesman of the year" award should go to....WAYNE GOSS!!
I just spent the last couple of hours watching reviews on these products. Whilst they were fairly favorable I do believe that Wayne mixing his tretenoin with the creams have increased its efficacy. I’d love to see a review with those products only for six weeks. I won’t be rushing out to buy them quite yet.
I used The Rich Cream-1 bottle. Very good, but not enough for my 54 years old skin. At the end I was missing my tretinoin 0,1, which it could not substitute. Just a very good moisturizer.
I’m absolutely with you on this product. I wanted to dislike it after receiving the 30ml in the Liberty Advent Calendar. It’s just amazing. Have not tried the VB product but if I could afford to buy the Rich Cream I would continue to use it. Thank you as always x
I'm 41 and only now am I properly getting into make up. I'm been searching UA-cam for a beauty channel to follow ( I've watched so many!!!) and I have finally found the 1 😀. Thank you Wayne!
Thank you for the honest review!! Sometimes i wonder... What is the point of making products if you’re going to sell them at the worst price point? Do you want the product to sell? Girl if this had unicorn sweat in it, i still wouldn’t buy it! Ugh I wish for more affordable prices in the midst of a global pandemic and financial ruin.
Sounds like a load of codswallop to me! All these things claim to make fine wrinkles less noticeable. My fine lines fell into the abyss of my deep wrinkles some time ago! You’re a peach, Wayne Goss.
I would love some Victoria Beckham Cosmetics! I really enjoy your content Wayne 👏🏻👏🏻 I fell in love with your Artist Brush Collection and bought myself a set. I’m blown away by the quality and the aesthetic 😍 There is something special about saving up for and receiving a beautiful high end luxury product. If it works then it’s worth it!!!
Absolutely correct about Wayne's artist brushes. I was so happy when he started offering them split up. I just picked up the large and I can't wait to get the rest when I can.
I expect one of the reasons you had such good results is because you had done the hard yards with the tretinoin .. so you had a great base that just loved a bit of “energising” moisture..
Thank you for sharing your honest opinion! I have to ask about retinol. How do you put makeup on while starting the regimen? How do you get past the flakey stage? And even though you don’t use anything else, could you do a acid peel on alternate days after the skin calms down? Perhaps a video with tips?
One word, tretinoin aka RetinA. I use the highest percentage as well. Put on any moisturizer beforehand, let it absorb then your RetinA, only the size of a pea for your whole face..not much flaking and not at the corners of your mouth and nostrils. I'll be 59 been using it for several years. Go over to Dr Dray's channel. She is a dermatologist. I'm going to ask her opinion on these products. Love you Wayne!
I love it too. I stumbled upon it from a TikTok and I had to try it. I bought the sample or the cream and the rich cream. It just makes your skin feel immediately supple. I will try Victoria’s next. It’s soo $$$ though.
Hi! So I have been using this cream for couple of months and I absolutely loves it. I have also got lots of compliments on my skin. And that too without any makeup these days bcs of masks and me being a healthcare worker. Yesss!! I agree it’s expensive but worth every penny for my skin. I love love ittt.
Energized skin?...wow...I might give it a try...might...my skin at 68 never looked so good, so soft, not oily and all since I discover The Ordinary line from Deciem, being Canadian I do like to support Canadian brands and these products are amazing, I did a bit of work and found a combination catered just for me and my skin...love the non non sense package...so, I might try VB products just because you found them good, the price is totally ridiculous because I know that most of the money goes to package and advertising...thanks for you opinion, love you videos and personality, down to earth and very practical and reasonable.
I can’t thank you enough for your honest opinions. Unfortunately I will have to wait to try this because I have enough skin care to last me 2+years and I am on a NO BUY this year. You are so awesome ❣️
I am 10 years older than VB and haven't had the Botox and fillers that she has had. I bought this to try based on this review. It doesn't work. I'm using it up but it's a waste of money. Save your money for a new sweater or handbag. There is a reason VB has had Botox and fillers- if this cream worked she wouldn't need them would she ? However the VB lipstick is really nice.
I completely agree with you here. I honestly think it's all about Marketing and making it sound enticing for people to want to buy it I'm also a nurse injector and I can tell you that while I do tell my patients that skincare is very important it goes hand-in-hand with injectable treatments for sure. My point? You're not going to get this look on just skin care alone.
Yours is like the 3rd video of folks living these products.... I did break down and by the smaller golden Victoria Beckham primer and have used it a few times and dangit I hate it that I love it too!!!!
I think sunscreen or physical sun block is the best remedy for age spots. My left cheek was noticable brown blotchy for twenty years. Thanks to covid related staying in the house for nearly a year, those spots are gone. Its gif to be the lack of sun exposure
First you are incredibly adorable, charming and knowledgeable. Second oh so many claims for oh so many products for oh so many years so it takes A LOT to persuade me out of my slightly cynical attitude towards skincare hype. Well all I needed to hear is the price so I'll have to keep to my less glam skincare. You sound very sincere and I believe your claims but not for this gal. You are a terrific spokesperson for these products. Guess I'll never be ready for my close-up Mr. De Mille.
I’ve used the rich cream but not consistently... and I liked it but ... not any more than my cerave, biologique rechearch pigm400 cream and even la mer if you’re looking for hydration and glow ( although lots of irritating ingredients in la mer) . I’m 52 and I get told my skin looks that of a 35 year old and it’s because of hard work ..sticking with a routine . Washing makeup off every night and learning about ingredients... Staying out of the sun ☀️...I wish I could use RetinA ( too irritating) because it is really the only proven ingredient to help fine lines or slow down aging. The other thing is the Bader cream has shea butter high up which isn’t a bad ingredient but you can find it in other products too. I think it’s a good product and probably mixed with your retin A it worked well!!! ❤️
I do really like many of them . And it’s important to go by your skin type . But for glow and radiance I love creme pigm400 and their lactic acid toner p50pigm
I got lured into buying the primer and the serum. Not sure if its working but what I dont like is the serum absorbs too quickly with little slip so I am burning through the serum like a california wildfire to feel as if I am getting enough product all over my face. They say you only need a few drops which is a lie. I dont feel i have a large face but I am needing about 12 to 14 drops to adequately cover my face with enough slip. I want to try the rich cream.
Doesn’t mixing tretinoin with your cream cause irritation, as they both have active ingredients? I have been using Sisleya skincare and can say I have noticed a big difference - my skin has a ‘glass skin look’ now. I’ve used tretinion for years but on its own at night, twice a week. I’ll try VB primer, lots of good reviews on that product.
Careful Wayne! I've seen a video of Dr Drey, a dermatologist on UA-cam who said that you shouldn't mix retinoid with a moisturizer or any other cream because you can risk uneven application and therefore to be too aggressive in some parts, too weak in others! The video was about the most common mistakes in skin care. It is better to apply retinoid first, and then moisturizer or whatever product.
Tried VB primer after Michele Wang recommended it and I like it. Not sure if I want to try the rest of Bader stuff, it’s actually more expensive than La Mer that I use now and harder to get because I can only order it online, which also means I can’t get any samples before buying and for that kind of money - just no.
🤔 so...I couldn’t help checking it out... maybe I could try tiny size?....🤔 I found the ‘Travel size duo’ and thought oooo it just might be possible ....but then the £225 price tag slapped me around the face & brought me crashing back to reality and made me laugh 😂 out loud at my naivety!! So that’s a ‘in your dreams’ purchase for me then! Oh well.... back to E45 and Tret for me!! ☺️🥰Xxx
Re the clinical trial, trials run by invested bodies tend to generate positive data. Which is why independent studies are the real benchmark. Take it all with a huuuuuuge pinch of salt.
thank you so much for sharing. the price isn't for everyone of course, but I personally splurge on skincare and it's great if it works out. I'm definitely interested and again, it's not for everyone but there people like me who just like to try out skincare. I'm frugal elsewhere but skincare and makeup is where I splurge. XD
I'm living, walking proof that what is actually THE best skin care is healthy living. Diet, exercise, ample sleep and rest, staying hydrated internally is more important than applying anything externally. Avoid excess sun exposure above all, particularly if you are a whitey like me. Also positive thinking reduces stress. Dont let things bring you down.
I love your honesty. I do the Curology Program and although my Tretinoin is not at 1%, I was curious how it worked for you. Doubt if I will ever be able to buy either of these two, but at least I know.
Awesome - I’m trying to figure out how I can try it now lol! My first two questions are I wonder if anyone has tried it, loved it, and stopped using it. Like - would the benefits all disappear..? Also, I get the whole “only use these products” the company is trying to sell us to do but I wonder if we used other great products and added the cream for example, if it would still have a noticeable impact... 🤔
I just purchased the full size of her skincare line. This was very informative! Thankyou so much! Have a fabulous blessed weekend, Wayne! xo Kristen 😘 P.S. regarding Austustinus Bader Rich cream? I've only had the samples and it pains me so much as well how much my skin just loves that cream! 🤦♀️ P.S. a little confused the order of how I should use these Products as I'm used to cleanse, serum, Moisturizer, oil, spf. Should I put the Moisturizer primer Over my spf as a primer? Because I'm afraid I won't absorb the skincare benefits in her primer if I do it that way. I have the serum as well. Could you please answer this question please?🙏 I know you're a busy man! Again, thankyou for your review! 🙌
VB has a 6 vile starter pack of the serum for $95. I bought it. Love it. I also LOVE the priming moisturizer. I have extremely dry skin due to tretinoin use (3 yrs running). I'm thinking of buying the small rich cream to test out because I have yet to find a moisturizer that keeps my skin hydrated beyond a couple hours. CeraV doesn't even begin to hydrate it by the way. I've seriously spent $$$$$$$ testing moisturizers, what's a bit more to test this. If I can toss my serums and other products and break it down to these 3 items, I think its possible budget wise. Here's hoping......thx Wayne.

Thank you for your honest review. FYI, as of now, the VB US link is broken but I was able to search for it on the site. Unfortunately, the VB Golden is EXACTLY what I was looking for: I'm 60 and feel foundation just doesn't look that good on me in daylight anymore; I'm not a "skincare routine" person - I like the one-and-done type of product; with wearing masks all the time, I certainly don't want to wear foundation every day; and, after finally getting a tan this summer since we moved to a house with a pool, my husband told me I looked "better" with a tan. I've already bought it between starting this post and finishing it.
One minute in and hey, here I am as you are an oasis in these turbulent times .. so relaxing to learn and to listen. Thank you!
I use the cleansers, exfoliant, rich cream and the body cream - sadly I can’t fault any of them! They’ve made a huge difference. The game changer for me though has been the Chantecaille Bio Lifting Serum, so expensive it brings me to tears but I have found that to be transformative 😭 ❤️
One of the only men I've ever trusted, Wayne Goss!😂😘 I always am skeptical with those kinds of claims, so I'm excited about this!
Oh I love you Wayne...your no BS is bloody brilliant 🤣😘
Agreed!!!
I bought these. I really think skincare is so much more important than makeup. I love Bader. The products are great and you can get some discounts like first purchase 10% then 27 Day challenge 25% off. I purchased b/c Diane Kruger uses his line and her skin is outstanding. She still looks 20 and is like 42. I really enjoyed your video and love your candor!
I used a 2ml sample of the facial oil not knowing a 1single ounce about the brand and price. I truly noticed how amazing the oil made my skin feel after 1st use. I kept on using the sample on and off with my usual elemis skincare, i kept on noticing that it was the oil that changed everything about my skin. It was plump dewy smoothing and hands down the 1st time ever my skin felt hydrated. Nothing has come close. Of course later i went to check for the price, Yes I was gutted, but i had calculated that using just the facial oil alone after a cleanse will replace the need to buy a separate day and night cream, serum, toner and eyecream. It truly replaces everything, therefore I would save more money just by having 1 product that actually works and addresses all my skincare needs.
Will be purchasing the £180 full size 30ml.
I've got the original primer, and I found that it doesn't always work the best with all of my foundations. I still use most of my skincare under it as well, so maybe I sabotaged myself, but it's just not universal, so for me probably not a repurchase.
The important question: is there an affordable dupe of this?
👍👍
Believe me I'm looking into it all the time because I cannot afford to use these! And I really want a dupe too!
Great question!
@@WayneGoss I would love to know the amino acids that make up the proprietary complex. My skin has been loving the Buffet + copper peptides from The Ordinary.
Sadly, what little I can find when looking makes me think no, there is not a dupe. I have tried a decent amount of skincare - or at least as much as I can fit in the budget - and I have never gotten the results I got when using the AB creams from just one product, and frankly not even when combining many products. I know the AB creams aren’t magic or unicorn tears but boy are they close for my skin;)
I use the golden primer, it is just amazing! I have oily skin, so I was hesitant at first. But it just gives you the most beautiful glowy finish, without feeling greasy at all. I can’t wait to be able to try the serum as well!
I had a 50ml bottle of the rich cream and I really liked it. For the record I use a prescription retinol, vitamin C, a copper peptide and spf 50. It was very moisturising and lovely to use. I can honestly say I didn't see any change in my skin. It was really just a beautiful moisturiser. I was actually really disappointed as towards the end of the bottle, it separated. This really annoyed me as its so ridiculously expensive. I wouldn't buy it again.
I hate the price as well. But I was curious and bought the smallest bottle and within three days I loved it. My skin looked amazing. It is glowing and radiant. I also have been dealing with very painful body eczema and I bought the body lotion and my affected areas felt relief and was healing within three days.
I’m dealing with painful eczema toooo.. do you Have eczema on your face? I may try the primer as well
@@Superwoodwinked I was starting to get eczema on my face that’s when I decided to get The Rich Cream. A friend, who also has eczema, recommended it. I have so many prescriptions for eczema and for some reason none were being as effective as they were in the past. I noticed that the areas clear a bit faster since I started using it. I hope this helps and you get relief for your eczema soon.
"Mmmm, tequila..." yep. Sums it up. I love that you hate that you love it.
I find the wide range (and very reasonable prices) of oils,serums, and direct acids from The Ordinary work beautifully. One can contact parent company Deciem and get a personalized skin care regimen to target specific skin issues. I use them in conjunction with Tretinoin and some of the Perricone MD products. Seems to be working. I think my skin looks good...and not just for my age...and my pocketbook is intact. Love your videos.
At last someone agrees with me 💯 I love the VB and AB products. Although seems a shame to use the primer at night as it is a fabulous make up base. Yes it's sooo spendy and rarely discounted but it does remove the need to have a 11 step routine and shelves full of products. Depends if you trust the TFC-8 formulation because AB states it needs to go first on clean skin to wotk. Sadly I see so many comments that it doesn't work when people have used it after a full routine.
It's hysterical watching you explain this formula.
Holy shit! You weren't joking about the prices 😮 Damn. Sounds something that only Elon Musk could afford
you cant be serious. right?
LOL.."what a pearl of wisdom", "gin, vodka perhaps tequila", "clinical gorgeousness"...don't know about the TFC8 system, but the humour here is definitely superlative :-D The "honest salesman of the year" award should go to....WAYNE GOSS!!
I just spent the last couple of hours watching reviews on these products. Whilst they were fairly favorable I do believe that Wayne mixing his tretenoin with the creams have increased its efficacy. I’d love to see a review with those products only for six weeks. I won’t be rushing out to buy them quite yet.
Wayne love you always putting a smile in my face you make me happy
I used The Rich Cream-1 bottle. Very good, but not enough for my 54 years old skin. At the end I was missing my tretinoin 0,1, which it could not substitute. Just a very good moisturizer.
I’m absolutely with you on this product. I wanted to dislike it after receiving the 30ml in the Liberty Advent Calendar. It’s just amazing. Have not tried the VB product but if I could afford to buy the Rich Cream I would continue to use it. Thank you as always x
I'm 41 and only now am I properly getting into make up. I'm been searching UA-cam for a beauty channel to follow ( I've watched so many!!!) and I have finally found the 1 😀. Thank you Wayne!
Thank you for the honest review!! Sometimes i wonder... What is the point of making products if you’re going to sell them at the worst price point? Do you want the product to sell? Girl if this had unicorn sweat in it, i still wouldn’t buy it! Ugh I wish for more affordable prices in the midst of a global pandemic and financial ruin.
Sounds like a load of codswallop to me! All these things claim to make fine wrinkles less noticeable. My fine lines fell into the abyss of my deep wrinkles some time ago! You’re a peach, Wayne Goss.
Linda Hind 😂😂😂 That was classic, loved it!
🤣😂🤣😂
😂😂I’m going to be using ‘codswallop’ daily to confused looks from my family.
I would love some Victoria Beckham Cosmetics! I really enjoy your content Wayne 👏🏻👏🏻 I fell in love with your Artist Brush Collection and bought myself a set. I’m blown away by the quality and the aesthetic 😍 There is something special about saving up for and receiving a beautiful high end luxury product. If it works then it’s worth it!!!
Absolutely correct about Wayne's artist brushes. I was so happy when he started offering them split up. I just picked up the large and I can't wait to get the rest when I can.
Thank you so much :) so pleased you loved the brushes :) I adore them - thank you so so much :) xxx
Love that you call out the convoluted language. Why would anyone say it that way? "Compared to what?" is the magic question.
I expect one of the reasons you had such good results is because you had done the hard yards with the tretinoin .. so you had a great base that just loved a bit of “energising” moisture..
Hi Wayne! I’ve been so excited to hear more about Victoria Beckham’s products! Can’t wait to know what you think! 💜
Are you still using the led face mask during this time?
Thank you for sharing your honest opinion! I have to ask about retinol. How do you put makeup on while starting the regimen? How do you get past the flakey stage? And even though you don’t use anything else, could you do a acid peel on alternate days after the skin calms down? Perhaps a video with tips?
LOVE your honesty and break down of some products blah....blah....blah!!! thank you!!!!
We would all love to afford them but what about us real people who don’t have big bank accounts😢
One word, tretinoin aka RetinA. I use the highest percentage as well. Put on any moisturizer beforehand, let it absorb then your RetinA, only the size of a pea for your whole face..not much flaking and not at the corners of your mouth and nostrils. I'll be 59 been using it for several years. Go over to Dr Dray's channel. She is a dermatologist. I'm going to ask her opinion on these products. Love you Wayne!
I love it too. I stumbled upon it from a TikTok and I had to try it. I bought the sample or the cream and the rich cream. It just makes your skin feel immediately supple. I will try Victoria’s next. It’s soo $$$ though.
You are hilarious babe! Thanks for having our back. 😘 I appreciate your transparency and honesty. ♥️
So glad you like it so much but how about a before and after picture - at the very least?
Hi! So I have been using this cream for couple of months and I absolutely loves it. I have also got lots of compliments on my skin. And that too without any makeup these days bcs of masks and me being a healthcare worker. Yesss!! I agree it’s expensive but worth every penny for my skin. I love love ittt.
I rather use my Cerave Cream 🤷🏻♀️
Me too!
Or Elf stuff
I would rather save my money for a set of your brushes, Wayne!
Energized skin?...wow...I might give it a try...might...my skin at 68 never looked so good, so soft, not oily and all since I discover The Ordinary line from Deciem, being Canadian I do like to support Canadian brands and these products are amazing, I did a bit of work and found a combination catered just for me and my skin...love the non non sense package...so, I might try VB products just because you found them good, the price is totally ridiculous because I know that most of the money goes to package and advertising...thanks for you opinion, love you videos and personality, down to earth and very practical and reasonable.
I can’t thank you enough for your honest opinions. Unfortunately I will have to wait to try this because I have enough skin care to last me 2+years and I am on a NO BUY this year. You are so awesome ❣️
I am 10 years older than VB and haven't had the Botox and fillers that she has had. I bought this to try based on this review. It doesn't work. I'm using it up but it's a waste of money. Save your money for a new sweater or handbag. There is a reason VB has had Botox and fillers- if this cream worked she wouldn't need them would she ? However the VB lipstick is really nice.
I completely agree with you here. I honestly think it's all about Marketing and making it sound enticing for people to want to buy it
I'm also a nurse injector and I can tell you that while I do tell my patients that skincare is very important it goes hand-in-hand with injectable treatments for sure. My point? You're not going to get this look on just skin care alone.
"it could be vodka, gin, tequila. Mmmm tequila" 😂🥰😂
Love VB bitten lip tint too. Just can’t justify stretching to the primer ... don t want to start a habit but yes totally agree, outstanding.
have you tried using the body lotion or cream on your face instead? they have the tfc-8 in them too and would be cheaper
Wayne, I have to say your skin does look amazing!
Yours is like the 3rd video of folks living these products.... I did break down and by the smaller golden Victoria Beckham primer and have used it a few times and dangit I hate it that I love it too!!!!
I think sunscreen or physical sun block is the best remedy for age spots. My left cheek was noticable brown blotchy for twenty years. Thanks to covid related staying in the house for nearly a year, those spots are gone. Its gif to be the lack of sun exposure
❤️your reviews and honesty !😊
Love the serum and primer even though it’s pricey.
Thank you for your review Wayne!
First you are incredibly adorable, charming and knowledgeable. Second oh so many claims for oh so many products for oh so many years so it takes A LOT to persuade me out of my slightly cynical attitude towards skincare hype. Well all I needed to hear is the price so I'll have to keep to my less glam skincare. You sound very sincere and I believe your claims but not for this gal. You are a terrific spokesperson for these products. Guess I'll never be ready for my close-up Mr. De Mille.
Love both the rich and the cream..and the gold primer .. the best..
I’ve used the rich cream but not consistently... and I liked it but ... not any more than my cerave, biologique rechearch pigm400 cream and even la mer if you’re looking for hydration and glow ( although lots of irritating ingredients in la mer) . I’m 52 and I get told my skin looks that of a 35 year old and it’s because of hard work ..sticking with a routine . Washing makeup off every night and learning about ingredients... Staying out of the sun ☀️...I wish I could use RetinA ( too irritating) because it is really the only proven ingredient to help fine lines or slow down aging. The other thing is the Bader cream has shea butter high up which isn’t a bad ingredient but you can find it in other products too. I think it’s a good product and probably mixed with your retin A it worked well!!! ❤️
Heard great stuff abt biologique , which products do you like?
I do really like many of them . And it’s important to go by your skin type . But for glow and radiance I love creme pigm400 and their lactic acid toner p50pigm
I got lured into buying the primer and the serum. Not sure if its working but what I dont like is the serum absorbs too quickly with little slip so I am burning through the serum like a california wildfire to feel as if I am getting enough product all over my face. They say you only need a few drops which is a lie. I dont feel i have a large face but I am needing about 12 to 14 drops to adequately cover my face with enough slip. I want to try the rich cream.
Doesn’t mixing tretinoin with your cream cause irritation, as they both have active ingredients? I have been using Sisleya skincare and can say I have noticed a big difference - my skin has a ‘glass skin look’ now. I’ve used tretinion for years but on its own at night, twice a week. I’ll try VB primer, lots of good reviews on that product.
Careful Wayne! I've seen a video of Dr Drey, a dermatologist on UA-cam who said that you shouldn't mix retinoid with a moisturizer or any other cream because you can risk uneven application and therefore to be too aggressive in some parts, too weak in others! The video was about the most common mistakes in skin care. It is better to apply retinoid first, and then moisturizer or whatever product.
There are other products with granactive retinoid and other actives mixed in one product too.
I have watched a recent video of Dr Dray of her night time routine and she used moisturiser before using tretinoin
Happy new year! Wishing you much success in 2021
Love you Wayne 💙, Thank you so much for your techniques , They made me to improve my makeup skills a lot!!! .
Tried VB primer after Michele Wang recommended it and I like it. Not sure if I want to try the rest of Bader stuff, it’s actually more expensive than
La Mer that I use now and harder to get because I can only order it online, which also means I can’t get any samples before buying and for that kind of money - just no.
🤔 so...I couldn’t help checking it out... maybe I could try tiny size?....🤔 I found the ‘Travel size duo’ and thought oooo it just might be possible ....but then the £225 price tag slapped me around the face & brought me crashing back to reality and made me laugh 😂 out loud at my naivety!! So that’s a ‘in your dreams’ purchase for me then! Oh well.... back to E45 and Tret for me!! ☺️🥰Xxx
I have been thinking about buying this since I first heard of it! This review kind of pushed me over the edge, I need to try it now 😃
Thank you love your style as well your personality. Your such a great teacher.
Can you please please review the NEW LANCÔME MASCARA? I only trust you before I buy these days xx
Re the clinical trial, trials run by invested bodies tend to generate positive data. Which is why independent studies are the real benchmark. Take it all with a huuuuuuge pinch of salt.
I got the primer when it first came out, I didn’t notice anything exceptional about it
Good morning Wayna! great video. If you could chose only one of these products which one would you choose? TIA
Hi Wayne .. I love the VB primer ❤️ looking amazing as always xx
thank you so much for sharing. the price isn't for everyone of course, but I personally splurge on skincare and it's great if it works out. I'm definitely interested and again, it's not for everyone but there people like me who just like to try out skincare. I'm frugal elsewhere but skincare and makeup is where I splurge. XD
I ordered the primer a few days ago, haven’t received it yet. I ordered a set that included the golden primer and the regular primer.
I feel the same. I hate that I love it! I too am oily and using a Rx still. These products are just lovely.
I BELIEVE everything you said, Wayne.
Everything. You don't play around.
Oh crap, now I’m going to have to try these!!! 🤦♀️🤣😘
I'm living, walking proof that what is actually THE best skin care is healthy living. Diet, exercise, ample sleep and rest, staying hydrated internally is more important than applying anything externally. Avoid excess sun exposure above all, particularly if you are a whitey like me. Also positive thinking reduces stress. Dont let things bring you down.
Thank you so much, Wayne, for your honest opinion. It’s terrible the price of this products but now I feel I have to try it. Yes. It’s sad. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks
I love your honesty. I do the Curology Program and although my Tretinoin is not at 1%, I was curious how it worked for you. Doubt if I will ever be able to buy either of these two, but at least I know.
Awesome - I’m trying to figure out how I can try it now lol! My first two questions are I wonder if anyone has tried it, loved it, and stopped using it. Like - would the benefits all disappear..? Also, I get the whole “only use these products” the company is trying to sell us to do but I wonder if we used other great products and added the cream for example, if it would still have a noticeable impact... 🤔
I just purchased the full size of her skincare line. This was very informative! Thankyou so much! Have a fabulous blessed weekend, Wayne! xo Kristen 😘
P.S. regarding Austustinus Bader Rich cream? I've only had the samples and it pains me so much as well how much my skin just loves that cream! 🤦♀️
P.S. a little confused the order of how I should use these Products as I'm used to cleanse, serum, Moisturizer, oil, spf. Should I put the Moisturizer primer Over my spf as a primer? Because I'm afraid I won't absorb the skincare benefits in her primer if I do it that way. I have the serum as well. Could you please answer this question please?🙏 I know you're a busy man! Again, thankyou for your review! 🙌
VB has a 6 vile starter pack of the serum for $95. I bought it. Love it. I also LOVE the priming moisturizer. I have extremely dry skin due to tretinoin use (3 yrs running). I'm thinking of buying the small rich cream to test out because I have yet to find a moisturizer that keeps my skin hydrated beyond a couple hours. CeraV doesn't even begin to hydrate it by the way. I've seriously spent $$$$$$$ testing moisturizers, what's a bit more to test this. If I can toss my serums and other products and break it down to these 3 items, I think its possible budget wise. Here's hoping......thx Wayne.
Appreciate your honesty, I am going to try the cream.
