Dr. Idriss$68.00- “This is a powerhouse serum that comes with a refill for 68 bucks”▶ 2:15

- “Every single day I use it twice a day without fail since I've created the line”▶ 3:12
Dr. Idriss$44- “This retails for 44 bucks. You get both products when you buy this”▶ 3:25
- “This will last you probably 2 weeks. Enough to start to notice some changes, but really to see if your skin is comfortable with these products, if they integrate well with your life, and they sit beautifully under your makeup, which they do for me”▶ 3:28


- “This does give a little bit of the radiance that you're seeing”▶ 7:56
- “And those two products together are chef's kiss”
Dr. Idriss$68.00
Dr. Idriss$82.00- “This has colloidal oatmeal and zinc PCA, so it is very soothing”▶ 5:37
- “It's great for really, really cold climates, or if you live in a very dry environment”▶ 5:39
- “This one is really nice to use especially at night to help your skin so that it can restore itself overnight, calm its way back down, and so you can wake up on the less red and more hydrated side”▶ 5:45
Dr. Jart+$54.00- “It is relatively lightweight for redness in the morning, and it is a sunscreen that visibly corrects the look of redness”▶ 6:07

Huda Beauty$69.00
SOFIE PAVITT FACE$54.00
Paula's Choice$37.00- “This is probably more geared towards people who have more intense acne or really oily, because BHA loves oil, and that is going to go deeper into your skin”▶ 7:35
Ole Henriksen$72.00- “Which is a great retinol for beginners. It is at 0.3%”▶ 7:52
Shani Darden$75.00- “She has her Retinol Reform at now at 1% and she does label the percentage of her retinol, so that is also a really nice one for someone who is more advanced”▶ 8:26

Ciele$36.00
Dr. Idriss$48.00- “This is an Alurx Beauty with 15% glycolic acid, 3% lactic acid, and tranexamic acid”▶ 9:39

Dr. Idriss$38- “I use it around my eyes every morning like a lymphatic facial in a bottle”▶ 11:01
- “I roll it around. I wake up. By the time I get up, use the bathroom, brush my teeth, make my coffee, then jump in the shower, it's usually around 20-ish minutes. My eyes are depuffed by the time I come out of the shower”▶ 11:05
Joanna Vargas$295- “This one is going to help to brighten and help boost collagen over time, but you can only use it at night”▶ 12:01
- “Do not use it on your upper eyelids. It's probably a recipe for disaster, only down here”▶ 12:08
- “I would start sparingly before I use it every night. Just because you just don't know how sensitive you are until you know how sensitive you are”▶ 12:11
Dr. Idriss$24
First Aid Beauty$49.00- “It's probably lighter in terms of the retinol, but it's married to peptides, which is great if you're trying to look for additional supportive ways to help your aging skin”▶ 13:42

- “The percentage with Kiehl's is not disclosed, so one can assume that it's probably on the lighter side, but if you have an inflamed skin barrier, you're prone to dry skin, etc., it's probably one that you want to look for”▶ 13:58
INNBEAUTY PROJECT$50.00
Paula's Choice$49.00- “Relatively lightweight, but still cushiony in texture, that is nice if you're looking for something that is going to help to promote collagen production”▶ 14:59
HigherDOSE$349.00- “The one at Sephora that I would probably recommend is probably the HigherDose red light LED face mask”▶ 15:24
- “If you're going to do it, I will say if you have melasma like me, just avoid it. It's not worth it. I do not use a red light LED because it wakes up my spots and it makes me very unhappy”▶ 15:31
SK-II$172.93
- “If you live somewhere very humid, it might be a little bit too rich, but if you are very dry and you live somewhere dry, this is a great barrier moisturizer for super dry skin”▶ 16:18

Augustinus Bader$115

- “I always put the blue one by Yves Saint Laurent first, followed by a second coat of the Tower 28 MakeWaves in black”▶ 20:46
