  1. Would you consider doing a review of the new Ambient Lighting Palette in Deer?
    It looks beautiful but I don’t sure how to use it…

  2. Olay regenerist is the GOAT and I believe it has peptides in it too along with niacinamide. I’ve tried high end brands and I always go back to this. Can’t live without it.

  3. I have beautiful skin in my fifties. All I use on my face is Cerave body lotion which contains the same ingredients as the facial cream. And I shield my face from the sun – with a hat that has a face shield.

  4. These are not even the products that are luxurious and definitely do not work. Examine Auteur, or Medical Beauty Research, or bynacht then the video is relevant to new technology in skincare

  5. For some reason in skincare in my experience you get what u pay for. My skin doesn’t tolerate the neutrogena one or olay without irritation. Than i tried la mer, really good but cant afford a full size. But one recommendation is charlotte tillbury magic water cream, its hefty at $100 but need less so it last a month one jar for me and my daughter using daily . We share. Or she, as she says, borrows daily and works great for her cystic acne skin and my mature skin! Highly recommend. Literally on,y skin care she can use that works! Most of these cheap brands have alcohol and parfumes. Retinol i use thats good is ordinary or glossier. Leaves softest skin! No irritation.
