- “This has marine extracts which are super hydrating along with hyaluronic acid”▶ 1:21

- “You can use it around your eyes to help diminish the appearance of those little fine dehydration wrinkles”▶ 1:35
- “It's not super like heavy, but it is very rich. It's deeply hydrating and imparting long-lasting moisture retention into the skin, but again, not feeling heavy or greasy”▶ 1:43

RoC$28.49
Olay$36.65- “They honestly do have a lot of R&D behind there”▶ 3:51

- “You don't need to spend big bucks for a ceramide niacinamide hyaluronic acid-containing moisturizer”▶ 4:35
Olay$29.99
mixsoon$31.50
- “The thing I like about pads, even though I don't really use them myself, is that it's essentially a liquid toner, but instead of the bottle, you have it in a soaked pad. And so that helps with applying it to the skin in a thin film”▶ 6:23
- “It allows you more control of where the product goes as opposed to pouring it into your hand and trying to pat it into the skin. Less likely to drip”▶ 6:39
- “The collagen is very hydrating as an ingredient. It's not like a complete gimmick to have that in there”▶ 7:10
- “Does have orange peel and lavender oils. You're allergic to fragrance, this is one to pass on”▶ 7:28
StriVectin$82.00
RoC$29.99- “This has caffeine, which can help to improve the appearance of under-eye puffiness, along with peptides again, going to be moisturizing”▶ 8:31
- “I don't think that's a really good deal because caffeine-containing eye creams, you can get a better value on one of those somewhere else”▶ 10:00
- “At $23.88 per ounce, I don't know that it's worth it”▶ 10:20
Abib$20.70
espoir$25.00- “This claims to contain caffeine, which again, under the eyes can help with puffiness, but it's also an antioxidant”▶ 11:25
- “This has alcohol, which a lot of people are afraid of, but I love, especially in sunscreens. It's not drying if the formula is balanced with other moisturizing components. It helps to create a quick dry, breathable finish”▶ 11:33
- “This does have fragrance, so not an option for those of you who are allergic”▶ 11:49
Olay$29.99
StriVectin$79.00- “They've put vitamin C in with retinol”▶ 13:16
- “I'm not seeing ascorbic acid. I'm seeing a bunch of the wimpy derivatives that, you know, may help with evening out skin tone, warding off oxidative stress. Not useless”▶ 13:36
- “This also has fragrance though, which, you know, can be irritating”▶ 13:56
- “This is a vitamin C serum that doesn't have the vitamin C we actually care about, but probably will not oxidize and discolor your skin”▶ 14:03

- “There's even some evidence for its use in improving the final appearance of stretch marks”▶ 14:25
- “If you've never used it before and then you don't like it, then that's quite a bit of product. That's something to keep in mind with Costco”▶ 14:34
Lubriderm$4.97- “This is a decent like moisturizer. It does what it's supposed to do, moisturizes the skin”▶ 14:43
- “This is a really good value right now though, y'all”▶ 14:50
- “You can use this on the face. Dip on in there and put it on your face”▶ 15:09
- “Might feel a little heavy, not to your liking, but it's not prohibited”▶ 15:15
Bioré$22.99- “This is not the one that I used to use years ago when I first started on YouTube. I was doing the Bioré UV watery essence, a Japanese sunscreen. I really like”▶ 17:54
- “This is formulated for the American market. So it's got the standard American chemical sunscreen ingredients”▶ 18:02
- “It does have a fragrance”▶ 18:11
- “Doesn't appear to be water resistant. So got to be careful because it may run into your eyes more readily since it's not”▶ 18:32
