Good video. Just want to put it out (I’m an NP for dermatologist and plastic surgeon), over-exfoliation has become a big issue over the last couple of years. I can’t begin to tell you how many patients we see who are doing more damage to their skin by over-use. I caution everyone NOT to over-use acids, especially if you are using prescription Retin A. As good as AHAs and BHAs are, over-exfoliating disrupts the skin barrier and can irritate your skin, particularly during the harsh winter months. Use these products wisely. Less is more.

One thing I'm struggling to understand is how often can we use cleansers containing acids? As over use of exfoliation is damaging to the skin and causes premature aging as well as sun sensitivity. So how often should you use cleanser (even gentle cleansers ie goats milk contains lactic acid, enzyme cleansers,glycolic etc), could you use daily or best not to even if gentle enough as stil is getting rid of the top layer of skin but don't stay on the skin long enough so does that it will cause no harm to the skin?

How often should I be using a glycolic acid cream? Currently using Maelove's and I know they and Drunk Elephant say to use it every night. I have been using about 3-4 times a week and my skin is fine but is that too much? Thanks!!

This was hands down the best video I’ve come across by a beauty guru on skincare. Good for you for actually researching and not using blog posts, etc. There were a few minor things but the general information was correct.

This was the first video I was introduced to your channel because of the DE Retinol. I just finished watching the rest of you're best of 2018 videos and I really appreciate how informative your videos and description boxes are and how you are moving towards a more cleaner for 2019. Cant wait to see what the new year brings you and this channel!

A masterclass, we are happy for your research for both yourself and us. So sweet to see your really sweet little girl just hiding in the background. Tack Elle ❤️

Thank you, Elle! I love this series! Super informative and so helpful! with a good well taken care skin, make up sits completely different!

Elle, I have been using them together as well! I love it! When I ordered an ordinary product for the first time , year or so ago, I read a ton of their skin regimens, and while none had them together, they were never mentioned in any of the regimens to NOT mix together! 😉 You are the best! Thank you.

❤️💙💚This series goes above and beyond your run if the mill faves. Elle makes these learning experiences and ties in the best of the best! You are rocking it!💚💙❤️

Thank you for reviewing the DE retinol cream and giving me more information about it! It's pricey so it's good to hear you talk about it so that I know I'm on the right track for skincare.

SO much great info! I was glued to it the whole time. Going to watch again and take some notes. I need to step up my game as far as skin care and I feel like I get so much education from you. Thanks for the time you put into research and then share with us! XO

Thank you for always keeping us up to date and informed. And all your research. Always follow your advise. It is the best!!! Love you !!!

This was such a fantastic video Elle - so informative & clearly explained. Thank you for all the great research you do, I have been enjoying this series a lot. Even though I am Australian and knew about Mireness I didn't seek them out or consider them as much as I do now that I have become an Elle Squad member. I am definitely going to buy the Mireness retinol. Every product that you have suggested that I have purchased has been awesome. Thanks for all that you do 💕💕💕

Your skin is so beautiful and clear! I’ll take any advice you so generously share with us. Another awesome video from you, Elle.

I keep me a notebook handy when I watch. I’m always adding more info to it. Thank you

I love that you teach us about skin care and the proper way to use the different kinds. Our skin is our canvas if it's not right nothing else will be. ❤❤❤

Awesome update and always love a reminder of why we use these products! I have sensitive skin and on Elle's recommendation tried the Farmacy Honeymoon Glow. I use the Farmacy Sleep Tight over it and have noticed such great changes in my skins texture. I had only tried glycolic in the past and it was too strong. Thank you Elle!

Thank you so very much for this incredibly detailed video on AHA/ BHA and retinols!! I have been taking notes on your videos all 2018 and this video finishes my notebook! Time to buy one for 2019😀 I really appreciate the time you took with your research about these products. I have never used them before so I will start slow.

Great information I love the Drunk Elephant line and looking forward to the new release

Thank you for answering a question I had and such an in depth video! Love that you stay on top of research! 😘💖

Hi Elle! I think the new DE retinol went on the market today, I just bought it online for $74.00. Glad to know you already tried it and thought it worth a mention. Thanks for your continued master classes, always learn tons of good info!!❤️

Hi Elle, thanks for explaining the difference between aha and bha products and what use with them and when. Hope your sweet baby girl is feeling better! Have a great weekend! xoxo 😊💞😸

Such an awesome and informative video. Thank you so much for all of the work your put into this and all of your videos!

Well explained....thank you so much....I have really been so unsure about incorporating acids to my skin routine, just how to use them. My skin can handle retinol every night but I want to add acids. I have noticed a great improvement, I have hyperpigmentation. My skin has been on a rough road because I was doing wrong things, I just didn’t know. My research through KZread really helped. You are the one that has explained thoroughly well on how to incorporate acids with retinol. I am gonna do that. I have very dry skin, so moisture is the key as well

"A" for "Above" I'll remember it forever. Your eyes are gorgeous. The color is spot on. ❤

Thank you so much, Elle...Just when we may think we know it all..There you go, AGAIN! Setting the record straight...I have so much respect for you, Elle..Your Top Notch research❗️Your Loving & Giving Spirit..You are so Darling..Our office crew..Huge Fans..☃️

i feel more motivated than ever with these new findings! thank you for your research and for sharing Elle! luv ya xo❤️ i use PTR 1.5 retinol and Pharmacy Honeymoon ROC exfoliating pads , skin is greatly improving

Phenomenal video! This was so much more than I expected and I learned so much! I can't wait for the DE retinol launch. Your daughter is a little doll. Thanks! ~Susanne xoxo

Thanks Elle for creating an easy to understand video on the differences between the various acids and retinol product offerings. My mature skin can’t live without these formulas. Really curious now to try the DE’s, A Passioni. 👍🏻 xNadia

All day I couldn't wait to watch and now it is soooo late I have to wait til coffee tomorrow morning. I can tell this us going to be a keeper!!! I really need this video!!! You look beautiful in that green sweater, Elle, and your makeup....WOW!!! Much love! Sweet dreams! XO

This is helpful information. I started using a The Ordiary's Retinol & Squaline about six weeks ago. I have been watching your videos on the subject and really liked the Mirenesse ingredients. I have ordered a sample of the Night Renew Serum and the Glow Booster primer. I am really looking forward to trying them out. Thanks for recommending them!

Thanks so much for the education! You answered some questions I had. Great video. Your skin looks amazing! XO

Lord knows I needed help with this. Thanks for explaining it. I feel a whole lot better about trying AHA/BHA’s now.

Hi Elle! I love your channel. Thank you for all the information. My skin is very dry during the winter months and definitely more combo during the late spring and summer etc. I'd like to start using an AHA/BHA product so I'm leaning towards the Farmacy product you mentioned. Do you think this would be okay even if your skin is dry?

Elle thank you for the great info! I’m a big fan already with the Drunk Elephant line💕

Very informative and detailed presentation. Loved seeing your baby girl wanting to be close to her mama because she doesn't feel well. Hope she is better soon. Thank you so much for your time. I appreciate your family sharing you with us. Merry Christmas!

Hi Elle! First I hope baby girl is feeling better. Poor thing! It's tgat time of year for the kids.... I ended watching this video at 3 am and am going to watch over again. I love the idea of peeling but am afraid of doing it. I have normal skin, never break out. I just watch some of these girls diy on KZread and want to try them, purchase everything, then chicken out! Not wearing retina/retinol during the day makes perfect sense to me; I will stick to night time. I truly enjoy your tutorials; your skin/makeup speaks for itself, but you also break all down so well for us. This is going into my "keeper" file for reference. Thank you so much! Your little one is growing up to be a real doll! You look so beautiful with your hair the same colour! Two dolls!!! She must've have a very long wishlist for Santa if she loves to shop like her mom!!! Enjoy the holiday Season! Be safe and I wish you much happiness!!! ♡♡♡ Lydia

Thank you for this video. I love the way you try to teach us and all your work. Love Anne. 💕🙏

I've really enjoyed all ur educational videos.... thank u... I'll def be rewatching past videos bc i'm slowly added items to my skincare you've mentioned previously....I just need to make a schedule of when to use them 💕💕💋 btw...I bought a LED light therapy mask for face and neck.... i'm excited

Haha such an awesome and informative video Elle! Before KZread and when I didn’t understand much and I didn’t know what was what with skincare I used to use AHA/BHA with retinols and had no issues. Then I heard you probably shouldn’t, but now you should! Too funny. It never irritated my skin so maybe I’ll go back to trying it again. I absolutely love the ordinary retinol 2% with squalane...super hydrating and no irritation, skin always looks wonderful the day after I use it. Thanks for all your tips😘!

Love Grey in the background !!!! Sweet baby girl . Glad you are feeling better .

Hi luv! Your skin care videos and current updates and uses are amazing as well as you are. I recently started using murad AHA/BHA Face wash. Is that a good one? Is also ok to use with Bakuchiol serum?

Captured to absolute perfection!

I love that you’re doing these videos, setting up a new skin care routine and this will be tremendously helpful!!! Any tips for dry eyelids? I’m 32, never had this issue but it just started this fall 😭

Thanks, Elle. Great video. I have serious sun damage and do not use retinol or BHA/AHA during the day, just to be safe. I like Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid and 1% Retinol Booster. I do not combine AHA and retinol because it can be too irritating, but I can combine BHA and retinol.

Awwh it made me smile when I spotted your child in the back 💕😻 so cute. Also thank you for clarifying everything I learned a lot from this video

I have debated about asking my dermatologist for a prescription for trentenoin, but I hesitate for fear it will be way too strong and I won't like how my skin looks and having to deal with the flakes for months until my skin acclimates. I tried the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair thinking it would be mild and a good introduction for my skin. I used it every other day and my skin flaked like crazy. I backed off to one day and it was better, but I wondered if it was really doing anything. I like how you addressed that in the video that if you flake then you need to back off and let the skin re-set. I might look into the REN product. I heard Stephanie Marie talk about the Drunk Elephant Retinol and she commented that what she had been using and loving before clearly wasn't as effective as the Drunk Elephant. Thanks for all your hard work and honesty you put into your videos.

I was just waiting for this kind of very informative video. Thank you so much! I have been using Drunk Elephant’s T.L.C night serum, also have their retinol cream. My question is that can use both at the same time/ same night or I should use them on different nights? Please please reply me 🙏🙏🙏 It’s so important for me

Hi Elle I thoroughly enjoyed this video. It was so informative and I really learned a lot. I so appreciate all the research and time that you put in to help us and educate us on what is going on. This was an eye-opener for me with some of the newer changes you were talking about. But, it feels great to know that I have you to explain everything in such a great way. Lots of love!

Great new info! I love your delivery with education. 👍🏻✅

The DE Retinol is available on Sephora now. Another great option that I highly recommend, especially for those new to Retinol products or w/ more sensitive skin, is Jordan Samuels’ Étoile Oil w/ Retinol. The entire line is quite impressive & very reasonably priced. (My other top faves/ recommendations though are the After Show Treatment Cleanser, which is fabulous for makeup/ spf removal, & the Hydrate Serum.)

Very Good Info on the different acids for the skin. Thank you for making it more clear for me. will you show us your night time cleaning routine please? Am curious to cee how you do it .and what I may need to do differently. thank you for putting do much hard work into all you do, ....... Cathy from Bradenton Florida but an in the UK now. I love your videos!!!

Such a great informative session🙌🙌 you have clarified so much for me. Thank you so much 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yes, BHA, AHA and Lactic acids I incorporated into skincare by mid-20s bc I was always so extra about age prevention and youthful skin . So thankful now I did and over 40 and still use them. Vit C have used night and day for decades, it’s fantastic . I prefer Vit A over many retinols for my skin though. Wish there were more options out there for the entire body but there’s a few. Oh, I have personally been fine using products w/ AHA In it during the day as long as sunscreen was over it 😊 TY Elle 💚

Wow, what a great video. So informative and desisive. I love it! ❤❤👍

Your skin looks stunning Elle ☺🎄

Love this! I want to try the Mirenesse & Drunk Elephant Retinol!

I hv just started on Retin A and use Vit C the other nights, using Niacinamides in the morning. Can a Manaelic Acid Purifying Toner be used too? I did get a slight redness using it once but wd like to continue. Also how can i incorporate Glycolic Acid in my routine? Thanks a lot in advance.

The pixi glow serum has AHA and NOT BHA. It must have been an honest mistake but I think this is going to help someone who has sensitive skin ❤️

I think you're awesome Elle. I'm 37 and interested in trying the Murad retinol youth serum, and the eye serum. Never used a retinol before, and haven't been too serious with my skin care routine. I've been noticing the skin around my eyes changing, and fine lines. My skin could use some brightening also. Any pointers? Don't know where to start, help!

Thanks for all the great information!! Always learning from you!

Thank you for all the info! I would love your makeup breakdown 😊

Hi Elle love your videos...I'm currently 42 and looking into adding some extra anti aging skincare into my routine. I recently purchased the tgf booster from lemieux cause u spoke so highly of this product. I did have skin cancer in my 20's a basil cell is it safe for me to use this product? Something u said in this video about skin cancer and growth factors made me wonder?..Thanks Marissa

Thank you so much, Elle. My skin loves AHA and it’s one of my HG products. I haven’t ventured into BHA's yet as I thought they were for acne, and I’ve never ever had one zit in my life. However, I did try skinceuticals 0.5% Retinol and noticed my heart rate went up. I just put it down to feeling uptight over a work deadline. The second time was even worse with very rapid heart rate and a touch of asthma (I only ever get exercise asthma). Now I’m terrified of Retinol's, but I don’t know if it was only that one. The sad thing is my skin is looking the most glowy and healthy I could ever wish for. Do you know if that brand is 'clean' or not?

Excited about the new drunk elephant retinol. Also interested in the new sundae riley products. Will you be trying them?

Your skin is literally goals. 😍

Great video! How can you easily tell if a product has growth factors? I LOVE skin care products, but I have unfortunately had to have a basal cell bump removed from my face (I’m early sixties and have been religiously using sunscreen for many years, but most sun damage is from early on in our lives - or if we don’t protect our skin now! ). Anyway, now you’ve got me worried that some of the serums and potions in my cupboard might be contraindicated for me 😱. What should I be looking for? Thx

You are the best ! So informative and fun love love love you 😍

Tank you so much for this info. U just cleared my mind of how to use this together. I started to use aha/bha products 2 years ago when I first tried Korean skin products. Form toner to washes and serums. I had oily skin and pimples on my jaw line but after few months with those products my skin is now clean and normal since than .I'm 36 years old ,an I decided that it is the right time to start with acids and why not retinols. So 2 weeks ago I started my first glycolic acid treatment. It is a 10% glycolic acid serum. I loved it immediately. As u said, u know when a product it works for your skin. Even if I read all over that retinols and acids should never be combined ,I wanted to test for my own the result. So, 4 days ago to my night routine, after the rose hip toner and the glycolic acid serum,I added a retinol cream. I have done same for 4 nights and my skin feels great. No burning, no stinging,no irritation and no drieness. (To be honest this evening I added the cream to the eye area too ,just to see how it feels ,if aggressive or what happen.)So, of course 4 days and I wait to see some bad reaction for the glycolic and retinol combination 😂 but for now nothing bad happened. Seeing your video gave me such great relief. Thank you,u are such an inspiration .

Finally a beauty blogger who not only does her research but shares it! I’ve watched others on KZread that only gush about how they love a product but they don’t explain anything about the research Surrounding the products that they’re putting on their face.. and they never share any in-depth research about what each chemical is, or for who it works best , or in-depth explanations on what chemicals do when combined what it does and why it’s in existence/ circulation, why myths surrounding them are false or hold water, or if the hype is all fluff or has truth to it, no one when explains any of that. But then I found this video!!! and Instantly subscribed. Love the way you teach. MORE MASTER CLASSES PLEASE! you have a gift for this. This save me so much time from having to go and plug away all of my hours trying to figure out all The Who what when where and why about all these chemicals :) and and also prevented me from ruining my skin!! ❤️❤️❤️

Check out Jordan Samuels’ Étoile Oil w/ Retinol. It’s fabulous!

I use pixi glow tonic and differen gel at night and I have no problems. I had see the studies on it, and I figured the glow tonic was mild. And it works nicely. I also use salacidic acid on my nose area and any blemishes with my regular skin care. My age spots and malasma is fading. I dont have to use as much color corrector, foundation and concealer anymore. So I'm pleased with the results. I dont use alot of treatment styled products during the day. Just niacinamide and hydration, lots of hydration. I just think, regardless of whether retinol can be used during the day, your skin heals and rejuvenates at night, so I feel that's the best time to use treatments. I'm also photosensitive, so I take extra precautions.

Hi Elle, I am new to your channel. my first impression is like WOW she has such beautiful and flawless skin!!! Thank you for the detailed and informative video! i really enjoyed watching it! :-)

Omg! Game changer girl! This is amazing! I’m excited to add the TLC with Retinal once a week! Makes so much sense. DE Retinal wahoo! I won’t be doing this during the day though. I think that’s asking for wrinkles! Lol. This information is amazing. You are such an incredible teacher. I totally understood and I will be changing my night time skin care! Thanks Elle💕💕💕

My current favorite exfoliant by far is Moon Juice’s is Beauty Shroom Exfoliating Acid Potion...impressed me more than anything I’ve used since using my first BHA years ago. I wouldn’t recommend it to those brand new to chemical exfoliation but for anyone who is looking for something new or a boost to acids they’ve been using I HIGHLY recommend it!

Thanks Elle for sharing your thoughts about acids and retinol and what the new science is saying about their use. Recently, got a sample of the L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Bright Reveal Brightening Dual Overnight Moisturizer (mouthful) and I was so hesitant to try it from all of the info I had learned previously. This one has 4% glycolic acid, vitamin C and Retinol and I used it 4x in the evenings and after 1st use I could see a positive change in my hyper pigmentation. I really had been hesitant to use it but figured if I get a bad reaction I can stop. I didn't see any negative issues. I stayed out of the sun and used an spf 50 during the day and my skin still looks great a week later. I look forward to learning more from you about clean products on the market that perform as well. Thanks again. ❤️

Thanks for such an informative video! I love the farmacy serum as well and recently purchased the Drunk Elephant Retinoid. In what order do you use these products and how often?
