My cousin is a Molecular Biologist for one of these companies seen in this video. She's always proud of how they prioritize hydration, gentle formulations, and strengthening the skin barrier through multi-step routines that focus on prevention. There's a reason why so many experts give their thumbs up on Korean skincare. One routine she swears by – don't just rub on the skincare, but pat your face after application. Patting helps products penetrate more effectively by avoiding friction that can cause product to sit on the surface or evaporate.
This if off topic but I'm looking to ask a scientist about this. Does facial tissue and toilet paper really have PFOAs and forever chemicals?
Michelle, you beauty science goddess, i just finished your hair playlist and you changed my life. now pleaaaase please make a video in how to heat protect properly for people who like to style their hair and what to expect from a good heat protection product 🙏🏻🙏🏻 God bless you
I liked Omar's section but I'm glad you don't only review the packaging!
Pleaseeeee do a video on eye creams. I have been desperately trying to find eye creams that will be effective for pigmented dark circles. I would love some recommendations on some eye creams that may actually be effective and are worth the cost. I was considering the Dr. V one as someone with brown skin but now I’m not really sure if it will actually be worth the cost, especially considering international shipping haha. I beggggg for your help!! 🥹🙏
I love the PKY calming balm too, and like Omar wish it was in a different package. I don't like dipping into jars for moisturizers. All the same, I've been buying it for years. I keep trying other products to see if I like something better, but always come back to it. For sunscreen I'm obsessed with Haruharu Wonder's Airyfit one. APLB has so many products I like. I just opened up a new facial mist bottle this morning.
Great video. You've given me some new things to try.
Wait, 2% Retinal Liposomes = 0.02% Retinal?? I feel scammed.
Nice that he acknowledges that the skincare products make you “prettier versus “wrinkly” wording.!… ohhh…..the power of the right words truly make an impact l.!
I don't using cleansing oil, but I heard from dermatologist rhat some of his patients have breakout because using cleansing oil. I think everyone have different results
Will you please review the Heveblue Centella PDRN body wash? I love the mild scent, with the right loofah, a little goes a long way, I am liking it so far.
