In my review of this eye balm, I critiqued the price point. I thought it was a bit steep.▶ 16:59–17:04
I have continued to use it and one thing I will say is it's lasting a long time. It's nice.▶ 17:04–17:09
I kind of can get down with this is I thought it was a good um concealer primer.▶ 17:16–17:21
But this is nice.
I get the popularity, but I don't know that it's something that I would go out of my way to have in my routine.▶ 17:39–17:44
Cathy DollIntensive UV Lip Serum SPF50+ PA++++
This is a thick, glossy lip treatment with excellent broadspectrum protection against the UV rays.▶ 14:43–14:47
It's got licorice root. It has buchial. So buchial is an antioxidant. Great for the environmental aggressors of the lips. Ceramides for the moisture barrier, which is hanging on by a thread on our lips.▶ 14:49–14:54
It's got a blend of emollient, shea butter, cacao butter. Very hydrating, very protective.▶ 15:01–15:07
This is thick and glossy like a lot of those overnight lip masks, but something you wear all day.▶ 15:07–15:10
It's got healthy peach and it's a very very subtle light peach that actually just works quite well to bring out the natural pinks of your lips without it being like a frank lipstick.▶ 15:12–15:18
This is a thick glossy formula. Let me tell you the longevity on the lips. Impressive.▶ 15:21–15:26
Eczema relief is great.▶ 10:46–10:49
And of course, this you can't go wrong. This is one of their best. I hope they never discontinue it.▶ 10:48–10:55
They came out with an ultra healing fragrance free.▶ 9:24–9:29
I'm willing to bet this is great cuz Jergens's original healing is a legit winner with the petrol.▶ 9:26–9:34
The retinol holy grail top rejuvenating body lotions tied with amlactin 12%.▶ 10:55–11:02
Now, this actually was my gateway into the Gold Bond.▶ 11:02–11:06
Aquation was the brand that needed to flourish.▶ 7:42–7:47
And I really tried to get Aquation hyped and it just did not catch on.▶ 7:44–7:51
Those of you who shop in the Kroger families of grocery stores, have y'all seen the Aquation collagen body lotion or the Aquation retinol one?▶ 7:57–8:00
Those were award-winning gems that I have not seen. They were so good.▶ 8:03–8:12
I mean, Aquation has amazing products.
Always will always will feel little warm tinglies for the cherry almond scent of Jergens. Takes me back takes me back to simpler times.▶ 8:48–8:55
This is new kid Oilogic skin aid oatmeal epsom salt soak.▶ 6:08–6:14
So colloidal oatmeal is great.▶ 6:12–6:16
Magnesium may be anti-inflammatory but colloidal oatmeal is where really where it's at.▶ 6:17–6:20
Those of you who shop in the Kroger families of grocery stores, have y'all seen the Aquation collagen body lotion or the Aquation retinol one?▶ 7:57–8:00
Those were award-winning gems that I have not seen. They were so good.▶ 8:03–8:12
I mean, Aquation has amazing products.▶ 8:10–8:16
I was not impressed with this plumping and collagen cherry blossom scent.▶ 10:42–10:46
I did not like the Suave lotions. These didn't cut it for me. They were not good.▶ 8:57–9:04
I did get comments though from you all being like, 'What are you talking about? That is that's my new holy grail.▶ 9:04–9:06
Um, it has melatonin in it, which is an antioxidant, but I really like the lavender notes on this. I'm not going to pretend I don't.▶ 11:06–11:10
I do like this new pump. What do you guys think? That's kind of cute, I guess.▶ 16:15–16:20
Yeah, I don't like the new font Tree Hut is going with. I just think that it gets lost on there. It looks like very homemade, right?▶ 15:58–16:06
I thought the old logo was better.▶ 16:11–16:15
It has 0.5% salicylic acid. That is on the lower end of what you often find. Don't be alarmed. That can still be very effective, but in contrast to higher percentages tends to be a lot less irritating, a lot less drying.▶ 8:20–8:32
It may not work as rapidly as higher percentages for like in acne for example, but it's one of those slow and steady wins the race as far as improving skin texture, reducing blackhead and white head formation, calming down inflammation and also hastening the clearance of hyperpigmentation.▶ 8:34–8:41
It is generally well tolerated and this product can actually be used twice a day.▶ 8:54–9:01
Salicylic acid is great for people who have acne prone skin because it really localizes into the pore to address root cause issues in acne, pore clogging and inflammation.▶ 9:12–9:17
It's also great for seborrheic dermatitis. Calms down the inflammation and helps to gently exfoliate away those flakes and it's wonderful for people who have hyperpigmentation.▶ 9:23–9:28
You only need a tiny tiny amount. When they say foaming, they are not lying. This generates a very exuberant foam.▶ 9:42–9:49
It also has some clays. It has elite and mont morillanite... clays can help to absorb excess sebum from the surface of the skin.▶ 10:02–10:13
It rinses off easily.
Burt's Bees came out with a new gentle balancing cleanser and a cleansing oil.▶ 15:32–15:38
Oh, that's new. With coconut and argan oils. I have to try that at some point.▶ 15:38–15:44
Burt's Bees came out with a new gentle balancing cleanser and a cleansing oil.▶ 15:32–15:38
Oh, that's new. With coconut and argan oils. I have to try that at some point.▶ 15:38–15:44
This is a very glycerin rich formula. It's very hydrating. It's kind of a nononsense.▶ 17:22–17:28
It's really the texture, the glycerin rich formula. This is skin protectant level.▶ 17:31–17:35
You put it on, you can put it onto the entire face at night time. It's sticky, but give it 10, 15 minutes, that'll sink down into the skin, dry down, and what you will have is this lightweight little plumping cushion down within the skin to deeply hydrate.▶ 17:36–17:41
This is great for areas where you have compromised skin irritation. You could just use it like on your cheeks for example if they're raw red and rashy or you can use it to the entire face.▶ 17:58–18:04
It's actually one of those skin protectants that because it's so glycerin rich, it's not oily or heavy or greasy. This is one for the oily people to really consider.▶ 18:10–18:14
You got to get over the sticky factor for a few minutes, but once you do, it's going to buy you some longlasting hydration and you're not going to regret it.▶ 18:27–18:30
You're going to wake up the following morning and you're going to be like, 'Wow, it is bouncy. It is plump. It is hydrated. The pores are going to look a lot less obvious.'▶ 18:33–18:36
This is one I swear by.
Check out one that I recommend is the De La Cruz sulfur mask.▶ 4:05–4:15
You can use it as a leave-on treatment overnight or you can just put it on, leave it on for 20 minutes and then rinse it off.▶ 4:13–4:17
Again, make sure you put a moisturizer on afterwards. It can be a bit drying.▶ 4:19–4:23
And a word of warning, if you've never used sulfur, it does smell a little bit like eggs.▶ 4:23–4:26
The cream is not just a thick version of the toner. No, no, no, no, no. It's actually a very lightweight gel texture.▶ 4:36–4:43
Any one of these products would be wonderful for supporting the needs of the skin barrier, calming the skin, and helping to support clearance of uneven skin tone, just brighten up and smooth skin texture.▶ 5:53–6:00
They're all very lightweight. They're not oily. They're not greasy.
All the products in this line, as well as everything I'm reviewing, are fragrance-free.
This line is great for anyone, but it's especially nice for people who have acne prone skin that lends itself to uneven skin tone as it's healing.▶ 6:02–6:07
NeutrogenaRapid Wrinkle Repair Regenerating Cream
I have been recommending for years and years and years, the fragrance-free one.▶ 6:46–6:51
I swear it has this instant plumping hydrating effect.▶ 6:51–6:56
And it likely has to do with the hyaluronic acid, which helps to improve the dryness, the irritation that one might experience from their very effective stabilized retinol.▶ 6:54–7:01
That's slow release, sustained action.▶ 7:04–7:08
That's a great formula with hyaluronic acid.▶ 7:07–7:11
This is a richer gel cream but it's still very lightweight richer than the tikka gel cream that we talked about earlier.▶ 11:43–11:47
The key ingredients here are going to be that poly glutamic acid along with sodium hyaluronate the salt of hyaluronic acid. Plus the soothing and anti-inflammatory nyioinomide and licorice root▶ 11:49–11:55
This is very hydrating, very soothing. It really helps to improve overall skin texture.▶ 12:04–12:08
Using a moisturizer like this really yields a nice sustained increase in water content in the skin.▶ 12:07–12:15
Those little fine lines that are solely related to dehydration will just disappear.▶ 12:24–12:29
Hyperpigmentation also becomes less obvious when you optimize water content just through light scattering.▶ 12:13–12:16
When you have improved water content in the outermost layers of the skin... you get a plump outermost layer. When the skin is plump, it's filled with hydration, it's bouncy, it's luminous, it's glowy, the diameter of the pore naturally looks less prominent.▶ 12:53–12:58
Hydration is key for cutting down on blackheads and white heads. Don't underestimate that.▶ 13:46–13:50
Is it nap time? Because tell me why you all are asleep when it comes to Rox Hydration Plus Moisturizer.
This has marine extracts.
This is competing, if not better in my humble opinion, with, yeah, La Mer.
Oh, look. We got a new age renew from Gold Bond here. Antioxidant defense.▶ 10:25–10:30
Has some citrus extracts which can cross react with fragrance for those of you who are allergic.▶ 10:32–10:36
The retinol holy grail top rejuvenating body lotions tied with AmLactin 12%.▶ 10:55–11:02
Tight and firm's good though.▶ 10:46–10:50
It is likewise a liquid, but it is a little bit thicker. It's a very subtle textural difference, and once it's on your face, you really can't tell the difference between the two.▶ 3:05–3:12
These are not in any way, shape, or form heavy at all.▶ 3:16–3:20
This one is more focused on hydration and barrier support.▶ 3:20–3:24
This product also contains poly glutamic acid and gluconolactone as well as soluble collagen.▶ 3:30–3:36
These are ingredients that really support replenishment of moisture within the outermost layers of the skin.▶ 3:36–3:42
This one also includes licorice root extract, which likewise supports the clearance of dark marks, but is very soothing and helpful for redness and sensitive skin.▶ 4:27–4:32
Any one of these products would be wonderful for supporting the needs of the skin barrier, calming the skin, and helping to support clearance of uneven skin tone, just brighten up and smooth skin texture.▶ 5:53–6:00
If you were to get the entire line, you can layer them and take advantage of the different ingredient combinations in one routine.▶ 6:07–6:11
The filters in this are amazing. All right, excellent broadspectctrum UV protection.▶ 15:57–16:01
The overall formula is so nice for a sunscreen. It is a gel, but it's hydrating at the same time.▶ 16:06–16:15
It's a chemical sunscreen. It doesn't burn or sting. It's very, very, very, very easy to tolerate on eyelid skin where you need to be putting sunscreen.▶ 16:15–16:20
This is particularly good for oily skin because it is so lightweight. But if you have dry skin, don't hesitate to get this one either.▶ 16:27–16:31
Sweat will evaporate through this. No problem. You will not overheat and you will not have any issue reapplying it every 2 hours while you are outdoors.▶ 16:33–16:40
I'm so happy I repurchased it. I have already been using it a ton again because I just love it.▶ 16:44–16:48
Zero white cast. If you have a deeper skin tone, you live somewhere hot, humid, you're real oily, you're real shiny, this is the one to try.▶ 16:48–16:52
This is a long-standing favorite of mine.▶ 0:45–0:50
It's very soothing, hydrating, not the least bit greasy or shiny.▶ 1:01–1:09
It's an excellent everyday moisturizer.▶ 1:07–1:11
It has these compounds from Centella which have been shown actually to be supportive of healing processes.▶ 1:09–1:16
This is probably I want to say tube number three, four, I don't even know at this point of this particular sunscreen.▶ 1:51–1:58
It's really great as a daily facial moisturizer and if you're going to wear makeup over it, you will be quite happy because it's a really great base for makeup.▶ 1:58–2:04
This is a chemical sunscreen, water resistant, 80 minutes.▶ 12:28–12:32
This is a fluid formula.
This is shiny, but I have no issue with the shininess personally.▶ 12:13–12:21
I find that it does kind of diminish after some time, after it's had adequate time to dry.▶ 12:19–12:26
I never have any issue putting makeup on over this.▶ 12:26–12:30
It does not burn or sting around the eyes whatsoever.▶ 12:30–12:34
Nor does it seep into the eyes.▶ 12:32–12:38
That's an advantage of water resistant formulas, especially in humid climates where you start sweating at the drop of a hat.▶ 12:36–12:41
This is another go-to for me.
It has niacinamide.
This one is a little bit more in keeping with the skin 1004 texture-wise, a lot more lightweight, not a rich cream, more of a lightweight gel lotion, borderline gel, I should say.▶ 7:26–7:31
The birch juice is full of hydrating, soothing compounds.▶ 7:37–7:45
This really is great not only for the entire face, but of course, you want to be taking the sunscreen down to the vulnerable neck skin.▶ 7:42–7:47
This is a great option.▶ 9:04–9:06
The cast on this is very impressive for a mineral formula.▶ 10:49–10:54
It's moisturizing, not the least bit greasy or shiny.▶ 10:54–11:00
It also does not peel at all, which is wonderful.▶ 10:56–11:02
Sometimes mineral sunscreens, they get a little flaky, and when you try and put makeup on over them, they make a mess. Not the case with this whatsoever.▶ 11:00–11:06
It's got ceramides as do all of CeraVe's products.
This product is great under makeup.▶ 11:32–11:36
It's not water resistant.
This I loved.
The feel, the finish is a little thicker in comparison to that skin 1004.▶ 2:34–2:39
This has tranexamic acid applied topically shows a lot of promise for helping to improve the skin barrier as well as reduce redness.▶ 2:50–2:57
This also has niacinamide which I love.▶ 14:36–14:41
It's another one that's really good for helping the moisture barrier.
This is easy easy to use around your eyes.
It's very moisturizing.
It's not heavy.
This is a go-to for me.
It's a much thicker texture.▶ 6:35–6:39
It's moisturizing, a little thicker, a little richer, but again, not heavy or greasy, easy around the eyes.▶ 6:48–6:53
It does have niacinamide.▶ 6:55–6:58
This is a great sunscreen.▶ 7:07–7:10
If you like a richer, thicker formula, but you don't want something super heavy, I think you would like that one.▶ 7:12–7:15
It's a go-to.
Sunscreen that carried me through the month of August in Houston, yes, Inua SPF 50, water resistant, zero, literally zero in the name, zero white cast.
I like chemical sunscreens, that is what this is.
It's great in humidity because it'll stay on the skin a little bit better and not sweat into your eyes as quickly.
I kind of think this whole line is great.▶ 4:33–4:37
Great in general for sensitive, dry skin.▶ 4:37–4:43
Very few jazzy ingredients that could potentially irritate.▶ 4:39–4:47
Fragrance-free, of course.▶ 4:45–4:48
This sunscreen is super super dewy.
I actually love it.
It's not greasy though.
It's super moisturizing.
What I like about this is it has a green tint to it, which is great for color correction of redness.▶ 9:21–9:26
This also has some antioxidants in it, which are helpful for soothing the skin.▶ 9:26–9:33
This would be a great formula for anyone who likes mineral sunscreens, but does not want that chalky, thick, pasty texture that many mineral sunscreens can offer.▶ 9:33–9:37
It's got a smooth glide on the skin.▶ 9:49–9:54
The cast on me is not noticeable.
I love using this as a makeup base, and I find the green color correction in this is quite good.▶ 10:07–10:11
It really helps hydrate and then the green helps to even out overall skin tone quite a bit by masking some underlying patches of redness.▶ 10:11–10:19
If you have seborrheic dermatitis, I think this would be a great option as well just for moisturizing and protecting the skin and getting some cosmetic color correction with that green tint.▶ 10:21–10:27
This one I really like the UV Pro Sport. Great for water-based activity, sweat.▶ 16:47–16:53
I do like the Banana Boat Sport, provided it does have fragrance, so if you're allergic, move on. But it's a good option.▶ 4:41–4:47
This I actually have I'm almost finished with it. I really have liked it.▶ 16:23–16:28
Um but it's expensive. It does have a very dewy finish to it, but it's great under makeup.▶ 16:28–16:33
I think they did a pretty good job with this formula overall.▶ 16:33–16:37
I would 10 out of 10 repurchase it if it weren't $40 here at Walmart. That's expensive.▶ 16:37–16:44
And then the Equate version is also great.▶ 4:49–4:53
I discovered that using the Aib sunscreen stick much it does the same thing, but it's putting behind water resistant sunscreen.▶ 17:21–17:29
I really love.
It's very similar to the Supergoop Unseen sunscreen, but a fraction of the price.▶ 0:52–0:56
Astragalus root extract is really the name of the game here. 91.3% to be precise.▶ 18:55–19:00
Astragalus root extract rich in hydrating compounds to help with that water retention. Also very soothing, anti-inflammatory, barrier supporting.▶ 18:58–19:08
This is a product that drives results and happy users. I have not really heard people say anything bad about this.▶ 19:10–19:18
Of all the years I've been recommending it, it is a go-to.▶ 19:20–19:24
This is a liquid, a very thin consistency.▶ 2:06–2:11
It contains caprial salicylic acid, otherwise known as LHA. This is a very gentle exfoliant that helps smooth rough skin texture.▶ 2:09–2:14
It really supports normal skin cell turnover without being too aggressive or overly irritating.▶ 2:17–2:24
The product also contains nioinomide and glutathione. These are both antioxidants, can reduce inflammation, and help support soothing skin irritation.▶ 2:24–2:27
These ingredients are also very helpful when it comes to improving the appearance of uneven skin tone and poster irritation dark marks.▶ 2:31–2:36
This is really nice if you want to on a very gentle and slow level support daily exfoliation.▶ 2:41–2:47
You want some soothing, barrier, supportive ingredients, and you're looking for a product to really prep the skin for the rest of your skinare routine.▶ 2:54–2:57
Any one of these products would be wonderful for supporting the needs of the skin barrier, calming the skin, and helping to support clearance of uneven skin tone, just brighten up and smooth skin texture.▶ 2:36–2:41
I actually shampooed my hair with this last night and followed with this conditioner and these are pretty good the density boost.▶ 13:46–13:50
Um it does have fragrance but these are pretty good.▶ 13:50–13:58
This Dove Intensive Repair Hair Mask is really good though. Highly recommend this.▶ 14:37–14:46
Um, it was like a discovery for me last year. I need to repurchase it um at some point.▶ 14:46–14:51
But it's quite good just for really helping to smooth and impart shine.▶ 14:51–14:57
They came out with a spray salicylic acid.▶ 11:39–11:44
This is really a great option because some people's hair type doesn't tolerate the frequent shampooing.▶ 11:42–11:48
This image, the color shield one, I don't know. It looks guava. And I'm like, I don't have color treated hair. Acai berry, but already roping me in there with a pretty picture.▶ 15:17–15:23
I'm glad SheaMoisture has not discontinued these salicylic acid shampoos.▶ 11:12–11:18
If you have scalp psoriasis or dandruff, this is great.▶ 11:16–11:24
Also, if you have a child who has ringworm in the scalp, this is not going to cure it, but it definitely is a good thing to use. It helps the medications work a little better to use a salicylic acid shampoo.▶ 11:21–11:27
Far and away, this shampoo and conditioner, the Sleek and Shine from Garnier Fruit Tease, 10 out of 10.▶ 14:54–15:01
Like, this is one that almost toes the line of like clarifying.▶ 15:01–15:06
It's really good if you have an oily oilier scalp, which I can I can get oily for sure.▶ 15:06–15:10
I actually shampooed my hair with this last night and followed with this conditioner and these are pretty good the density boost.▶ 13:46–13:50
Um it does have fragrance but these are pretty good.▶ 13:50–13:58
I like this bare line because it doesn't have the tholinone preservatives like the classic clean.▶ 13:58–14:07
Um, it's a zinc pythonone shampoo. I hope they don't discontinue this.▶ 14:07–14:12
Other option is selenium sulfide, which can perform in some cases for some people better than zinc pythone.▶ 14:12–14:16
So, if you've got dandruff and you've tried Head & Shoulders and you're not getting anywhere with it, try their selenium sulfide containing shampoos or try Cels and Blue, their competitor.▶ 14:18–14:21
Some people respond better to it than zinc pythone for their dandruff.▶ 14:14–14:20
Try Selsun Blue, their competitor.▶ 14:26–14:30
This brand Softsoap, not bad at all.▶ 1:04–1:11
And no methyl isothioenone, the preservatives people commonly become allergic to.▶ 1:08–1:13
In the fall, they had some really, really nice scents.▶ 1:13–1:20
But for the spring summer, we have watermelon, we have lemon, we have cherry, we have coconut, we have is that apple? It is. And we have blueberry, we have mango. Oh, these all sound divine.▶ 1:18–1:22
Unless of course you're allergic to fragrance. Then move on cuz Softsoap will have nothing to offer.▶ 1:31–1:34
Here we are with the Dove Confetti Cake, Strawberry Crumb Cake.▶ 17:46–17:51
DoveDove Body Wash Peppermint Bark
I've got a peppermint bark. I don't know if I'm going to save it. I have one in backstock or if I'm going to go ahead and use it.▶ 2:13–2:16
The other honorable mentions without a doubt. Dove. Their advanced care hand wash.▶ 1:57–2:02
