this is so refreshing compared to tik tok where you’re made to feel like you need a billion products, it all comes down to simplicity and i wish i realised that sooner
You don't need all that stuff.
All the beauty influencers are just trying to sell products and earn commission. I absolutely love Jennifer. Absolutely beautiful ❤
@@mollynavarro4101absolutely she taught me about the importance of controlling the root cause of bad skin which is diet and stress, then of course a simple skincare routine
I mean it’s pretty obvious TikTokers are only pushing out products because of sponsorships and commission and you know what’s worse 99% of tiktokers and even UA-cam reels now are using filters while showing their products which make it even more misleading
Completely agree!
I noticed that no matter whiw amazing and expensive products I buy, they will not save my skin from bad diet, stress and lack of sleep. I started prioritising food and relaxed lifestyle and that made a huge difference.
Diet and sleep, plus stress management, are paramount. They are in fact far more impactful than any skincare products.
70% healthy skin comes from healthy lifestyle (nutritious diet, good sleep, exercise, 2l of water, less processed food and sugar), 30% comes from cleansing, moisture and protection like sunscreen)
👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Jennifer,
I used Tretinoin in my late 20’s and did it too hard & strong. Many thanks to you for inspiring me to try again. At 70, I started low and slow, and my skin is loving the product. What a difference. Thank you sweet girl!
Hello! That’s wonderful!! Thanks so much for sharing. All the best to you 🙏
@@JenniferMyersI wish someone told me earlier too ❤thanks Jennifer beautiful inside out
Hi jennifer, thank you for all the information. Can we use castor oil as a moisturizer after tretinoin? Thanks in advance!
I went to pick up my tret the other day and the pharmacist told me to not use it every day or it will make my skin dry and the product will stop working .
I’m like so confused on the information I keep being given .
I’ve been on tret since I was 23 lol I’m now 29😭
Buuuut yeah I don’t understand I mean if I stop tret for a couple months or even weeks I’ll peel again but if I do it daily I will stop peeling
aint no way that was around 50 years ago
I am one of those people with a 20 step skincare routine 🤣. But I love it, it's my me time and I enjoying trying new things. The only holy grail product that is a permanent part of my everyday beauty routine is a prescription tretinoin, the rest change all the time
yes i feel like if it works for you then we shouldn't be villainizing it!! my skin was so dry before i started incorporating more hydrating steps into my routine, and now, it is feeling much healthier and is able to tolerate actives better without being very dry
Yes!! Do what you want and whatever works for you! I made a point in the video to say what I said (that we all have different indulgences and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that as long as it’s sustainable for you and makes you happy). I’m certainly not the gatekeeper of what people should or shouldn’t spend their money on. I’m glad that you said, “But love it” - that’s what matters!!
@@werq180 can u pls tell me your routine. Because I have dry skin too
An upturned liner at the outer edge of your pretty eyes would look good on you.
I think it’s good that you care enough about yourself, to take care of yourself.
I started Tretinoin and sunscreen about 2 years when I first came across Jen (Thanks for that). I’m a month shy of 30 and still get mistaken for a teen… but I’m also half East Asian, so that may play in to that.
I also believe in simplicity with simple active ingredients and watching/listening what your skin is saying. I’m based in London and I just use the “Simple” range of skincare… super affordable and simple. And a nice affordable sunscreen designed for the face… I use “the Altruist, face fluid” about 12 USD a month…
Anyone new to skincare, this UA-camr knows her stuff! Thanks Jen!
Where do you buy your sunscreen in London?
You are mesmerizing, the calmness i feel when I watch you...
I’m 49 and stumbled across your skincare routine about a year ago while researching what to do. I ordered the products and have been consistently doing it since after never having a skincare routine in the past. The difference in my skin texture and appearance is amazing. Thank you for your simple and doable guidance. It’s made a huge difference in my confidence. I actually prefer my face without makeup now!!!
Same lol, until my 25s, I have used a full face of makeup, then I gradually started to give up on it, and now at 33 I rather prefer how my skin looks without it, thank God. I just use sunscreen, translucent powder and a tinted lip balm. If I go to an event and wanna feel fancy, I'll add a little peachy blush on my cheeks and brush my eyebrows :))
Thank you for simplicity!! I’m so overwhelmed with products on tik tok.
Hi Jennifer! Been a follower since pre-covid era. I look younger than my age, thanks to you!❤
Thank you for introducing your skincare, it healed my skin problems. I am pimple free now Jennifer!
Everything that you are using, I have as well. Each one of them works perfectly on my skin. Thank you, Jennifer, for your wisdom!
Thank you Jennifer, this is what we need, not 12 steps of routines...
For me, having a very dry and dehydrated skin, I use additionally serums with fatty acids, cholesterol and ceramides ( Paula's choice omega or Stratia Lipid gold).
Otherwise I follow what you mentioned and recently incorporated Castor Oil. I love how my area around the eyes is not so dry in the mornings, so many thanks for your lessons!
cheers from Germany ❤️
Day: Cerave Acne Control Cleanser, Cerave Facial Moisturizing Lotion PM, Cerave Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen
Night: Cerave Hydrating Facial Cleanser, Dermatica Tretinoin 0.05% / Ninacinamide 4%, Cerave Facial Moisturizing Lotion PM
thank you for the summary.
It was the Cereve Gentle Skin Cleanser, not the acne one.
I should preface this isn’t a video summary, this is my daily skincare routine.
When would you use the castor oil? Would that cancel out the tret?
@@rebeccasalgado6603 i was using castor oil after tret and moisturizer. problem was i started breaking out around the eye. so i backed off for now
Your skin is glowing! Love this, you bring so much knowledge and value.
I have dry skin and I used to have a peptide serum and a ceramide cream at different times and I noticed my face would remain hydrated throughout the day. I was able to tell the difference when I couldn’t afford any of them for about 2 years and after repurchasing them, oh yes, what a difference! I also noticed azelaic acid completely calmed down the flared skin I always used to have on the sides of my nose. After watching your videos I started tretinoin 6 months ago and my complexion is so much better now, less pigmentation and texture! So thanks!
I agree! Keep it simple. I’d like to see your wardrobe. Would you consider doing a video on your clothes and shoes?
I was having anxiety and watching your videos and listening to you always calms me
Really ❤
Me too! She’s the best!
Hi Jen, I love your skincare content, as basic as repetitive as it is, I like how you have been consistent and found out what works for you. I watch a great load of derm skincare content, I am passionate about the topic and even work with skincare. My main advice for everyone would be: 1 - Remember that your skin and your skin needs are very unique and what is right or great for others, even if that's the majority of people, might not be good for you (the opposite is also true) 2 - If you think you have a skin condition or you are struggling with something specific, get a proper diagnosis from a derm. You might be using something that doesn't help with what you're trying to treat, it might even making things worse. Don't follow anyone's advice if don't have a specific diagnosis. 3- If something is working well, stick to it unless it's not working anymore - use few things consistently
Thank you for sharing all the affordable products. Your skin is gorgeous without all the filters.
Love your videos!
Ijust watched a doctor on an influencer recently and he said the exact same thing. I am a skin care junky and have had irritation with some. I am now on a minimal train! Thank you!❤
1. Bioderma Sensibio H2O (the only one micellar water my skin can tolerate... it is great. Garnier burns my skin like hell)
2. Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser / Cerave Hydrating Oil cleanser (it is a gel, not an oil)
3. Purito Niacinamide serum with galacto ferments
4. Retinaldehyde 0.1% from Ph. Doctor, the best one i have used so far, gave me better results than spanish tretinoin, without irritation and peeling.
5. LRP Cicaplast baume B5 or Uriage Xemose cream
6. Castor oil, mostly for the lashes, when I put it all around the eyes then sometimes i get tiny bumps, but i do put it a little around the eyes as well, not always :)
During day sunscreen of course, i have many and i like a lot. I use mostly chemical sunscreens (my rosacea skin loves chemical sunscreens!)
Love your simple approach and you look amazing! Since finding you, and Dr Dray, I use moisturizer and sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen in the am. I don’t feel the need to cleanse my skin in the morning. Night time is double cleanse with Alboleen, then ceravie gentle cleanser. Then moisturizer and then Tretenoin.25. I am 60 but look in my mid 40’s. Very few fine lines. I used to buy a lot of actives and I am not convinced they really did much. But the tretinoin and sunscreen and protective clothing have saved my skin. Love your channel. 😊
Your skin is glowing! I used the CeraVe facial cleanser and hydroboost cream and sunscreen often in the mornings. Sometimes I might add the CoQ10 serum. At night the same facial wash and maybe a CeraVe cream and tretinoin.
I use vitamin C serum in the AM followed by cerave hydrating moisturiser and summer fridays spf30 sunscreen (hero product!!) . Then in the PM if i am wearing makeup i use the ordinary squalane cleanser first, regardless i then use cetaphil gentle skin cleanser (your recommendation!) I then follow with the same moisturiser and then tret 0.05%. I find i can tolerate the tretinion much better that way and also by using aquaphor first as a barrier cream around my eyes, nose and mouth.
Thank you for your informative videos!
Hi Jennifer! I appreciate your channel so much! In a world full of chaos, you exude a sense of peace and tranquility for me and that is a true blessing! Can you please share some more cooking videos - especially hie you prepare the cod liver and sardines and what you eat them with. Much love!
You changed my life for the better when I ran into your skincare video. And even now I click new video's, even know I already know what you use.
But sometimes I need this to stay consistent. I am on the right track. Thank you😊
Having oily, acne-prone skin, my favourite products that I consistently use are cerave foaming cleanser, Oleus oil free moisturizer, adapalene, and my new favorite find Haruharu mineral sunscreen. All affordable products that work for me 🙌
She makes an excellent point here. A lot of influencers on social media use so many products I don't understand how they know what's actually working for them. And it's so important when you have reactive skin to only use limited number of products that work.
Love all of it, thank you for not gate keeping and sharing with us your skin care routine ❤ just one remark don’t use castor oil on lips. It darkens the lips, this info is from personal experience and available on google as well.
So true... Less is more. My routine is a homemade Green Tea Soap, Toning with Greentea Extract, Moisturizing. At night it's the same routine but I replace the Moisturizer with a retinol cream.
Thank you for keeping things simple (and affordable!) I always look forward to your videos.
Daytime: cerave foaming cleanser, la roche posay vitamin C cream version, (I skip moisturizer since both vitamin C and my sunscreen provide enough moisture for my oily skin), summer Fridays milk sunscreen
Nighttime: cerave foaming cleanser, dermatica customized tretinoin formula, Vichy mineral 89 as my lightweight moisturizer to avoid sensitivity from tretinoin
You are the reason I started a healthy skin care routine & changed my eating. Thank you for sharing your obedience in life. ❤
Did you see any change? ❤
@@Laylame133 yes definitely
@@esshdonewithlove can you share them please:)
Excellent video….new subscriber.
First of all, I want to thank you for all the knowledge and experiences you are sharing. I discovered your channel a few years ago and thanks to you my skin is way better and I've learned how simplicity is far more better in this day where everyone focuses on consumption.
My Skincare Routine:
Day: CeraVe Cleanser for normal to oily skin, Micellar Water with 3% niacinamide Vivanatura ( it's an romanian brand), CeraVe Facial Moisturising Lotion A.M and Altruist SPF50.
Night: Cerave Cleanser, The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution, The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, Cerave Moisturising Cream for dry to very dry skin and Castor oil for eye area.
Much love
My tried and true favorites are: Paula's Choice SPF 50 Lip Balm, Paula's Choice Lip & Body Treatment Balm, Australian Gold Tinted SPF 50 (also works as a foundation). I love the Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser and their Shea Butter Lotion (thanks to you!). I've been working on simplifying my routine for a while, and your videos have definitely helped me achieve that ❤
thanks Jennifer..Im a huge fan of your channel and wisdom! I make most all of my own skin care products with shea butter , jojoba oil and rose hip oil..they work great and I just love to make stuff and experiment but I will try some of your recommendations - good stuff! I love simple and frugal!!
Hada Labo oil for cleansing, especially makeup removal - no film or stinging. Beauty of Joseon for sunscreen (also, Australian gold tinted). Moisturizers - CeraVe PM or The Ordinary good old NFA/HA as it's not greasy or pilling. Unscented argan oil is nice for very dry nights. I love CereVe Healing ointment for lips or irritated spots.
I love Hada Labo oil! It melts away makeup.
I am a believer as well for a simple skin care routine. Vanicream moisturizer at night followed by 1.0 Tretinoin. Morning is Vitamin C followed by Vanicream and then a facial sunblock. That is it.
I'm so happy you uploaded 🥰 you are genuinely my role model. I'm not just saying that and I don't say that about anyone. I am 21 and you, as a person, inspire me so much. I want to be like you when I'm your age
Love your heart and desire to share with others! I also admire you challenging yourself by making UA-cam videos. Completely agree with simplicity...now that I am 48 I am adding in vitamin c serum and a few other things. I am curious to see if you will add in some things too as you get older. I would love to see how your mother cares for her older skin! Thank you Jennifer.
Superfacialist vitamin C cleanser is beautiful, i love it🤩 excellent as a first cleanse and to remove makeup and spf in the evening, lovely as a morning cleanse too😍
I started using castor oil on my entire face and it’s looking great….Thanks for your help
I started retinol and castor oil because of you thank you ❤
I love ur tips and I have been following ur advice for almost 1 year+ now, what I can say is my skin is getting better and better! I'm currently at my 34 age, and people still think my age 23😂❤ love you Jennifer!
I just add Vitamin C in the morning after wash before moisturizers/SPF and snail mucin at night after Retin A before pm moisturizer. I love the simple routine after years of beauty boxes. I came across Jennifer's videos and got back to the good old basic products. Never happier with my skin
I love you and your videos! You bring so much knowledge and value. Keep posting. I want more!
When I am in the sauna, I cover my face, neck, and chest with glycerine. The heat helps it to be fully absorbed into the ski.n
Thank you for your lovely videos!
Less is definitely more, and you are correct a simple one step w/ these products 1 ❤active ingredients,. This keeps it affordable snd safe. Love this review
Morning, Prequel Cleanser, Timeless Vitamin C, Vanicream Facial lotion, Drmtlgy Tinted sunscreen 🙌
Evening, Lancome milky Cleanser (makeup remover) Prequel Cleanser, Altreno tretinion, Stratia lipid gold, Vanicream Facial lotion 🙌Thank you Jennifer! ❤️
In the morning I wash my face with my dermatologist prescribed benzoyl peroxide face wash, I then use a 20% vitamin C + vitamin E + ferulic acid serum on my face and then a 5% caffeine serum under my eyes. I then finish with Cetaphil oil free SPF 35 moisturizer.
At night I wash again with the same benzoyl peroxide facewash and then apply tretinoin to my face and neck, and an eye serum with yerba mate, caffeine and hyaluronic acid under my eyes. I top it all off with Cetaphil hydrating face moisturizer.
4 steps in the morning and 4 steps at night. I like to keep it simple. I also sometimes use some Vaseline if my face feels dry, especially with using tretinoin. The Vaseline tip I got from you Jennifer.
SWITCHING UP THE SUNSCREEN TO SPF 50 OR ATLEAST 40 MAY BE BETTER. sorry for the caps, but too lazy to do it over
I needed a slap in the face and a reset after falling off the wagon. Thank you so much!
Great video! I’ve also been using tretinoin since my 20s and will be turning 50 this year. I started using it for acne after also taking Accutane and I think the continued use also has had the benefit of me having smoother skin now. I have sensitive skin so I buffer it with La Roche Posay Cicaplast Balm (the only moisturizer I’m not reacting to right now) and also love pure Vaseline or CeraVe Ointment on everything but especially around my eyes.
Cerave hydrating facial cleaner, am Cerave moisturizer with sunscreen and at night Cerave pm moisturizer. Sometimes I put jojoba oil in my morning moisturizer. My dermatologist recommended all these. Been really happy with them
I was sold the hype of needling a billion of skin care products in my collection and I bought it all up. Now I am trying to use it all up and then simplify my routine. I just turned 36 and I use a skin cleanser, vitamin C serum or Night repair by Estée Lauder, a Retinoid crème, a moisturizer and castor oil + Vaseline. Sometimes I do an AHA or BHA and ofc sunscreen.
Hi Jennifer, I’m not quite sure how I found your channel. But after watching some of your videos on skincare, I believe it’s important that I mention my experience with skincare has always seemed complicated and most often, expensive. I just wanted to say how appreciative I am for your creativity in making these videos. From a male’s perspective, you have changed my entire perception to skincare in a positive way. Thank You!!
I love your channel, your channel is very informative and educational. I have been using retinal for over a year and when I wash my face in the morning my face is extremely dry and it looks trouble. Your skin look so amazing. I am not sure what I am wrong.
Hi,
For PM I use La Roche Posay Toleraine Dermo cleanser, Dieux Instant Angel face cream, and Prescription Tret 2x week. For the AM I still use the same cleanser and face cream, then La Roche Posay Mineral Anthelios Fluid Sunscreen. I really love your simple and consistency is best motto,couldn't agree more. No makeup for me just a simple gloss from topicals. If I need to help get beach day sunscreen off my face with a double cleanse I will use bioderma micellar water if on hand or use my same Dermo cleanser 2 times
For body I use LRP lipikar+ or Prequel urea lotion, nuxe pink bottle deodorant, body wash is Aveeno with coconut scent, and body sunscreen supergoop play lotion and spray.
Hi Jennifer, really enjoyed this video, I use several of those products. Turning 55 in May. Smooth clear, bright glowing skin. Solid skincare routine since a young age and avoided the sun/used sunscreen/hats/large glasses since a very young age. A salicylic acid (short contact) face cleanser as a second step has been a game changer for me the past few years. My diet has been all natural, organic for decades. I eat vegan, no oil and loads of fruits and veggies/organic soy beans/occasionally kidney beans on my salad and sprouted tofu/ raw seeds & nuts Fitness and yoga instructor and the sweat is key for me too! BUT most importantly, as a follower of Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior I credit my glow from Him. The joy of the Lord bubbling out of me. I call it the glory glow!
oh man! you are awesome. you have inspired me so much. child of God saved by grace here🤚
🎉hallelujah ❤
The glow that comes from Jesus is unmatched!! Amen ☺️
The best beauty secret!?? The love of GOD!! I swear you can see it the eyes!🥰🙏🏻✝️
That glory glow from our savior Jesus is the best part
I’ve been using cerave pm recommended by you a couple years ago and I love it! It’s just as good or better than top brands such as obagi in my experience. My mom was an esthetician and my favorites from her are 10% glycolic paired with vitamin c. But I agree that you could sub that for the retin-a and get even better results over time. Thank you so much for your recommendations! They are on point!
Since I started following Dr Dray in 2019, I switched to Vanicream cleanser (loooove it), nightly 0.025% tretinoin, and Clinique 100h moisturizer. In the morning I add Vanicream Vitamin C serum and Azelaic acid because I suffer from a lot of redness. And of course my holy grail sunscreen, Skinceuticals tinted physical sunscreen. Never without. ❤ Oh and I also double cleanse with a cleansing balm before my foaming cleanser because I find it does not get rid of all the sunscreen on my face if I don't.
I ❤ your video for its simplicity! Thank you🙏
One major life changing habit that improved my skin drastically is cutting down use of make up. My skin literally improved and I stopped breaking out altogether. I still wear occasionally for special occasions but I stopped wearing it daily. I just use cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen now.
AM: wash the face only with water no cleanser, LRP hyalu B5, LRP hydrating sunscreen.
PM: cerave cleanser, LRP hyalu B5, LRP Lipikar Baume AP+M.
Switched to this simple routine after getting skin irritation from using Adapalane. I thought my skin could tolerate Adapalane well and started out using it too frequently... The skin around my mouth and nose was peeling and irritating. My skin has been healing quite well after switching to this routine. La Roche-Posay Lipikar Baume AP+M is my HG! Comes with a big bottle, very hydrating and gentle yet effective in calming down the skin.
My hero products, those that I have purchased over and over and have used for years would be Paula's Choice UltaLight Concentrate Antioxidant serum which I use in the morning and Tretinoin which I use at night. I've tried different moisturizers and sunscreens and some I have repurchased but these two items are the one's I always use.
I use tallow as a moisturizer and I'm wondering if the Differin will be able to penetrate through to my skin? Just found you and am loving your simple approach to skin care. Thank you for posting!
Thank you for your knowledge. You helped me a lot when I was starting my Tretinoin journey a while ago. What are your thoughts on copper peptides. My routine is pretty simple right now.
Ohhh Jennifer... the way I love your videos, specific the ones about skincare. I know you keep showing over and over the same products, simple and effective... and that is why I love it. You remind me that i do not need all these steps, I just bought 2 korean toners and stopped using them. Cleansing, serum, retinaldehyde, moisturizer and that is it! Thank you so much, my queen and guru of skincare
I love Cetaphil gentle, non foaming clanser and also i love Cerave Oil cleanser (its not oil, it is a regular Gel... that foams but it is super gentle :) My 2 fav cleansers. It feels like my skin is a little oilier now so i tend to go more for the Cerave, but cetaphil was my go to for the past 4 years)
I started using tretinoin last year in summer and I like the effect. I try different sunscreens because I want to find my holy grail :) I do enjoy skincare a lot and trying different products so I'm definitely in this category of 4-5 step skincare routine which I love! However, there are 4 things that definitely are the foundation of my skincare routine and it goes in line with yours (which are responsible for 80% of my good skin, the rest is just fluff honestly, on top of nutrition, hydration, activity and good sleep hygiene):
1) good, gentle cleansing
2) sunscreen
3) retinoid
4) rich moisturizing (cannot use tret without good moisturizers personally).
I love your simplistic approach. I do use additionally: AM: vit C serum with ferulic acid and vit E, AHA and BHA (couple of times a week, otherwise my dead skin rolls under my fingers from tret), PM: niacinamide / hyaluronic acid serum. Love each step of my skincare routine and it's my time for self love
I’ve been using La Roche Posay hydrating cleanser and their Toleriane moisturizer- very mild and effective. I try to use differin at night but it seems to irritate my eyes, even though I don’t put it around my eyes. I also will sometimes use Eucerin Q-10 cream, which I love! To take my make up off at night I use Ponds cold cream and a washcloth, then follow with cleanser and moisturizer. Lately I’ve been using Neutrogena sunscreen, I think it’s the sheer mineral 50, doesn’t bother my eyes. Thank you for the video!
Neutrogena makes some really good sunscreens!
I’m currently living in Seoul and I love how Korean skincare focuses on mild, calming, and barrier-friendly skincare products. Very effective, yet non-irritating
I love everything from the brand Mad Hippie!!! I actually have an extensive skin care routine but I’m happy with the results and just added in castor oil. I also use Tretinoin as well.
I agree that less is more.
Daytime: Rinse with warm water, Cetaphil Healthy Renew Face serum (mostly as a light moisturizer), Kroger Shimmer Tinted Sunscreen.
Evening: Olay Gentle Foaming Face Cleanser, .05% tretinoin 3 times a week, alternating with Paula’s Choice 8% AHA once or twice a week, Cetaphil Redness Relieving Night Moisturizer.
Thanks for sharing!
I love a lengthy skincare routine 😂 I appreciate the simple version because that’s often what we can maintain consistently.
While I like to switch up a lot of things my favorite moisturizer that I’ve used for years is weleda skin food original nothing like it for me, I also love the heritage rose water for like an essence, the dickinsons original toner is a great one, I like the garnier blue micellar water as well those items never change but serums/actives & sunscreens do for me!
I started castor oil and tret because of you, you are like my younger sister. My skin is more clearer now and looks bright. Also, i have just started castor oil for my under eye area. Thank you again.✨✨💕
Im always using vanicream vitamin c, tret every 3rd night, and vanicream as my moisturizer. I alternate a lot on my other products, it depends on the price point...but for now I'm happy I have 3 all star products
For too many years I believed that I needed multiple products and active ingredients, but also believe simpler is better. I think my skin is so good at age 65 is because I have used Retin-A consistently since I was in high school. I have only recently discovered Castor Oil and love it, but need to mix it with a thinner oil such as argan oil in order to spread it on my face easier. As an unexpected benefit, I found that the castor oil helps with my dry eyes.
You are such a great example of how a simple routine can produce such amazing results thank you for always sharing I have been following your since day one can you please tell us if your still using vitamin C serum in your morning routine much love ❤️
Hello hello, so, in the morning, cleanser, then Clinique ddml +( or ddm gel if hot) and then spf 50+ shake fuide Laroche Posay . At night , same thing but addding trétinoine 0.05%. .( no SPF, of course) and also, sometimes I add the advanced night repair serum by Lauder AM and PM if I'm .red because of tret. So u see very simple too, apart from the serum a bit dear. take care.
Hi Jennifer!! I am going to listen to YOUR tips. Your skin is so radiant, and also I want to spend my money wisely also, so definitely listening to you:)) Can you make a video about body products you use in your skin right after showering? Thanks!!
I agree, simple is best. In the morning I cleanse, use a serum, a moisturizer and then my SPF 50 Cotz flawless complexion. I've really been loving the new cerave hydrating foaming oil cleanser. For moisturizer I use the Kiehls ultra facial moisturizer (not the cream in the tub) because the texture is incredible and it leaves the skin so dewy and plump. At night I oil cleanse then cleanse, currently using Altreno as my retinoid (INCREDIBLE formula) and then seal it all with this amazing vitamine E based cream. I will say the serum I use in the morning is egregiously expensive. It's the skinmedica TNS serum but I can honestly say I've never used a skincare product that created such an immediate and drastic change in my skin. It was hard not to be impressed with it so I'm stuck buying it now. It truly lifts, firms and evens the skin you can visibly see and feel the differnce. It's like photoshop in a bottle. That skinmedica product is truly remarkable but it is like $300
I use Avene Tolerant gentle cleanser, Niod superoxide dismutase saccharide mist, Aveeno Calm and Restore Oat serum, Paula's Choice water creme, Paula's Choice Super Light Wrinkle Defense tinted spf30.
To bring an example to my point I had acne all my life and got good results from using Differin. Now in the past years I have little spots that look like acne, but when I spoke to my doctor they think that isn't acne anymore but most likely dermatitis/rosacea, so the retinoid that I am using specifically on that area thinking it'd do me good, might be making things worse. So will check in with a derm to adjust my routine!
100% agree that less is more when it comes to skincare.
In the AM: I wash my face with warm water and then apply vitamin C serum and an SPF 50+.
In the PM: I take my make up off with Micellar water, cleanse my face with Cetaphil cleanser. Then I alternate between adapalene (Differin), glycolic acid, or lactic acid as my active. Then I finish with Cerave PM moisturizer. I plan on starting Tretinoin soon.
May I know how long have you been using differin before switching to tretinoin soon?
I have been using differin 4 days in a week, then alter 5% glycolic two times in a week. But may be too intense for two times glycolic in a week, a bit burned up 😅😢now recovering. So I would like to know how often shall we incorporate glycolic acid with differin. Thanks ❤
@@tiffanysin300 I've been using Differin for about 6 months.
@@tiffanysin300 The first several weeks for me was rough lol My face felt raw and burned but slowly got acclimated. Instead of using glycolic and retinoids together, try using just one active ingredient for a few months. I like to alternate adapalene for a few months and then glycolic or lactic acid for a few months.
@@Jbsa1998thank you for your input and sharing. I guess I'll try only differin gel for 3 months, and at the same time use glycolic once in a month for the texture. But I'm thinking of using 0.025%tretinoin after 3 mths. However I heard Jen mentioned both indeed give us the same result in the long run.
I use a no name gentle cleanser for sensitive skin, centella ampoule for hydration, and the Hada Labo Tokyo Sunscreen, (which i have to put powder over cause it shines like a lightbulb, but it was the most affordable I could find that doesn't feel greasy or make me look like a ghost or had that awful specific sunscreen smell) Also for the powder I got an affordable one from essence that does the job. And then once a week or once every 2 weeks, I use an AHA+BHA mask.
i appreciate your advice so much. it's helped a ton!
Good to see someone not talking about expensive and a lot of products. But May I know if somw one is using 1 percent retinol and then switching to differin .1 % would work for them?
I’m 54 years old and my holy grail cleanser is Cerave Foaming Oil Cleanser. My skin just seems to love it. I started Retinol pretty late in my life, about 3 years ago, and I have to say it has been a game changer for me. It has absolutely changed my skin. Love your videos, no bs, just straight to the point and so informative. Thank you x
Yes indeed her videos are good.
Which one do you use ?
You’re lovely, real, humble, and knowledgeable.❤️
I came back just to have company in this cold night. I feel like you are a friend talking to me.
My favorite product by far, is my cleanser Oxy Acne Treament. The one with the prebiotics in it. That cleanser really worked wonders for my blackheads and funny enough my feet as well. Currently im testing out this 3% sulphur cleanser though. So far it's good, but the smell and texture sometimes makes me want to go back to my old cleanser.
My other hero product is the Some by mi miracle cream. The cream truly did wonders on my scars from picking at my skin. I still use it today.
10/10 I've been wanting to start a proper routine for a while now and you've made it so much simpler than I originally thought, thank you so much for that. I was expecting a much bigger cost lol.
I've never had acne, just dry skin with small keratosis pilaris bumps on cheeks, can anyone with similar skin recommend me an active? Thanks!!!
Hi Jen! I have 2 quick questions regarding the sunscreen you recommend:
-Do you notice that any of the 3 you listed do well with reapplication throughout the day? I work outside for long hrs and have to reapply sunscreen a lot, so many of the brands I try pill up:(
-Also, do you know if any of these sunscreens do well under foundation? On special occasions I wear makeup, but even still I always try to protect my skin.
Thank you so very much for all of your insightful videos, been following your channel for a while and you're a huge inspiration to me! 😊
I tried tretinoin a few years ago but I went really strong and didn't like how my skin was reacting to it, so I stopped. I started seeing your videos and decided to try again and this time, with a much more simple routine and my skin looks so beautiful!
But I must say, as someone who is fascinated by korean and japanese skincare products I just can't stop trying new things. haha
I have oily skin and I live in a very hot and very humid city in Brazil (Amazon region, near Equator line) and my favorite-always gonna buy products are: Cerave lotion, Bioré Athlizm sunscreen (love love love) and cerave gel cleanser (oily skin version). I also LOVE shiseido's deep cleansing foam and hadalabo vitamin C foam cleanser, I find them amazing and very refreshing but I only use when my face is really greasy. I also love hadalabo's melano CC lotion, it's very lightweight and I use under the sunscreen.
I tried castor oil mixed in a little bit of eye serum/cream and it feels more comfortable to use, my eyes don't get so irritated when I wake up. If I use just the oil my eyes burn sooooo damn much.
I’m pretty simplistic with my routine too. My hero products are Tretinoin (get mine through Agency) Cerave Cream or Moisturizing lotion (depending on season), Cerave Hydrating Cleanser and Paula’s Choice Superlight SPF 30. I occasionally use an antioxidant serum in the AM but not always. Tretinoin has by far done the most for my skin and in order to use it daily I need to keep my skin care simple.
Are you ever concerned about getting MGD or dry eye disease? It's supposedly very painful and untreatable if you develop it.
😮@@Michael-ke8on
Does vit A application like retinols and tret may lead to dry eye disease? 😮
I already have slight dry eye
I'm not an ophthalmologist or optometrist, but just a normal guy. Just that I've seen reports of it. You can just google "MGD tretinoin" and even some MDs are talking about it. I would love to continue using tretinoin, it's just I'm not sure if the rewards outweigh the risks now...
The thing that's scaring me is that it's not reversible if you develop it, like you can't just take a pill and it'll get better. It's permanent. I'm just not sure if facial aesthetics/vanity are more important than healthy eyes now.@@Dr_Hope735
Hello, I use CeraVe hydrating cleanser, started prescription tretinoin (Retrieve brand in Australia) at night at the beginning of January and my skin has adapted well and use CeraVe facial moisturising lotion PM. Morning routine is Khiels toner, vitamin C serum and Clinique’s moisturising lotion the yellow cream because it was a gift, I will switch to CeraVe once it finishes and La Roche-Posay Anthelios sunscreen.
At your recommendation I started using organic castor oil around the eyes and lips. Hoping my eyelashes grow 😊I’m very consistent with my skincare and will continue to stick to these simple steps.
I have been using LED mask every night for 7 months and am happy with the improvement to my skin in general.
Thank you for your informative videos.
AM: no cleanser (just rinse with water to wake up), ginseng toner, peptide or niacinamide serum, sun screen spf 50, vaseline on the lips.
PM: oil cleanser, then a 2nd gentle cleanser, ginseng toner, retinal (it's difficult to get a tretinoine prescription here in Belgium), moisterizer, vaseline on my lips and when I'm feeling it also on my forehead and under my eyes.
(+ Once or twice a week I switch the retinal for a lactic acid.)
I feel like Clean & Clear benzyl peroxide is a perfect example of less is more - super effective (maybe the best OTC acne remedy out there) and super cheap. Yet people prefer the untested expensive new acne products with “insert” magical ingredients which ends up creating new problems 😅
At the moment, I simply use Bioderma for cleansing (once a day as my skin is very dry, and I never wear make-up or sunscreen - owing to a severe chronic illness). I then use an essence - I like Missha Time Revolution, followed by COSRX Snail Mucin power essence (I don't think this will ever leave my routine it's so good). I then apply just around the eye area Estriol cream (estrogen cream - prescription), and the TNS Skinmedica growth factor serum all over face, neck, chest. After that's soaked in, I use the Skin 1004 probio cica barrier cream, which is excellent: a little goes a long way, it's extremely hydrating and calming owing to the Madecassoside. I tried for awhile using castor oil as last step around eyes but it was irritating, so I'm now using Le Prunier's Plum oil. It's definitely a splurge but so light, effective and smells like marzipan!
It’s interesting because I always thought it was active then moisturiser but I will try the other way around
I love this! 100% agree that less is more! I´m almost 40 and have very sensitive/rosacea prone skin, and with time I´ve figured that jojoba oil in the AM before sunscreen and rosehip oil in the PM as a "sealer" for my skinscare routine is keeping my skin barrier so healthy!
Also, I don´t waste money on hand creams or lip balms anymore, I use a small amount of Bepanthene (baby diaper cream) on the back of my hands and lips and it´s such a difference! and castor oil is also a must! love it for the eye area, hands and lips as well!
I´ve tried tretinoin and the french brand A313, but admit I haven´r been consistent due to the uncomfortable itchiness I get from it! I´I´ll have to try it again!
Oh and I love oiling my hair as a pre-shampo before going to the gym, it´s helped my colored hair!
