Watching this in one window, ordering or putting everything else on my Wish List in the other window.
James, "Perfection" does exist. "Perfection" is the time of the day I get to enjoy any of the Welsh videos!!!! ☺
The Pyunkang Yul essence toner...my god, its beautiful. Such a simple list of ingredients but so soothing, absorbs so quickly, a little really goes a long way a d gives me the right amount of hydration for my oily spot prone skin. I'm on my second bottle but it will be a holy grail item I'll keep buying over and over again so long as they keep making it! 😁
Thank you for getting me into taking care of my skin. No need for makeup as much as I use to. Also please listen to the SPF advice. Thanks to James I found out I have skin cancer on my nose. Hopefully we can remove the dime size patch on my nose and that'll be it. 🤞🤞🤞

Lina, I grew up in SoCal drenched in baby oil at the beach. I noticed a [smaller than] pea-sized basal cell carcinoma raised growth on my right nostril and I had Mohs surgery to remove it. I was freaked out at the thought of what-ifs so I prepared myself for losing my entire nose. Nope! One tiny patch removed and the margins were clear. Whew! I can't even see the scar. 50 SPF for my face and body every day now. I know you're concerned, but I bet the removal will be minor for you as well. Best wishes!

I would love a video on you breaking down key ingredients to look out for when looking to tackle particular issues - eg what's best when trying to fight acne, or dryness, or smooth out texture etc etc It would be so helpful to have a video to refer back to when checking ingredients in products!
So glad these are working together for you!! Love 💕 these reviews of Holy Grails 👏

I've got a few Glow Recipe bits because of James and my bank hates me but my skin looooooves me for it 😍
These are the products I need when my skin barrier has gone to shit when I introduced the 7th new product into my routine that week.
Me too James! I've never gotten the watermelon fragrance, rather cactus and cucumber. Love love love it! I use it every morning. Thank you for turning me on to this and CosRX snail "snot" AND The Ordinary AND Missha :) Putting the Inky List PHA on my Sephora list!
Watching you wash your face and apply skincare is pure bliss.
So glad that i gave the glow recipe toner a try! Its one of the few exfoliants i can use because of my dry skin!
I am SO so happy to see that my Watermelon toner is James Welsh approved 😍😍🔥✨ I actually REALLY enjoy the scent Like, maybe even a little too much… lol 😆
I bought the glow recipe watermelon toner because of James and I’m in love, it works so well for my skin, I will never stop buying it 🍉 thanks James!! 🥰
I'd love to see a video dedicated to body products. I don't exfoliate and moisturise my body very often, but when I do, I feel like I'm glowing! Would love to discover some effective and easy to use products. Can't wait to try the snail eye cream 💜
Hiii James🙋 Love to see your holy grail all time favourite products
I completely agree with the smell of glow recipe toner .. I ABSOLUTELY Love this product! I did start buying inkey list … thank you so very much, ordering it now . You are so beautiful 😍 🖤
I just purchased the Ample N and cannot wait to try it! I want skin like yours!!!! Thanks for the recommendation!
My holy grails: Paula’s Choice Pore normalising cleanser, Glow Recipe toner, avocado recovery serum, and watermelon moisturizer… been in the quest of skin care products for more than a year and thank God I found my skin saviors! 😅 (I got to say it takes so much patience and money to find what really works for my skin 🙈) so yeah I gotta work my a$$ off 😄 …and your videos too are part of my holy grail! I find it very helpful to learn more about skincare ❤️
I never watch influencers' videos or make up tutorials but I just discovered James' channel and I am so hooked now! I binged watched most of his videos and i just can't get enough. I could listen to him reading the dictionary TBH :))
I appreciate sooooooo much how you always put your products and their links in the description. Thank you, James
I bought the glow recipe toner after watching this and OH MY GOD ITS SO GOOD THANK YOU
Skin care is my love language ❤ ❤ and now I am going to show myself some love and buy more❤
Holy grail: cerave night moisturizer, iunik centella gel cream, and the galactomyces cosrx toner 🥺❤️💖
James THANK YOU FOR RECOMMENDING AMPLEN!!!! It really help me to soothe down my irritation 👌
Love these suggestions! So far my holy grails have been Inkey List Salicylic Acid Cleanser, The Ordinary Buffet + Copper Peptide Serum, Biossance Omega Repair Cream, and I'm From Mugwort Cream. I feel like I tend to experiment with and switch in and out of exfoliants and serums and still figuring out a holy grail toner although SK-II has been a fave but it's just so pricey to have on rotation constantly!
Juicy, dewy, glowy...gorgeous😍 Doing an order right now!
great video! my favourite product is the clean it zero cleansing balm, love the affordability of it and how well it works on my dry skin

So happy you made this video so I can always refer to it since I have a similar skin type. Also I've found myself saying "perfection doesn't exist" to friends and family members and I've had so many people be like " you know what you're RIGHT" and I'm like "it's all James".
I’ve noticed recently James reviews a product it sells out the next day (Hello then I met you cleanser) and I am here for it… I have bottles of Im from rice toner in every drawer
Your skin looks so good!
I love your videos and product reviews!
The glow recipe toner is my holy grail too! 🙌🏽 I love the moisturizer and the vitamin c serum as well. Next I want to try the avocado retinol moisturizer

Hi James. Let me start by saying I watch you all the time, and I'm grateful you started this channel for us. I'm having a major problem with my skincare routine. IT ISN'T DOING MUCH, AND IT'S BEEN 3 MONTHS SINCE I STARTED A DEDICATED SKINCARE ROUTINE. I am 42, and people think I'm in my late 20's, but the problems I DO have are not improving. HELP ME PLEASE!!!!
I’m a new subscriber to You, Robert and your twin channel and OMG I love you guys!! All day I have watched you 💜🤍💚 I’m loving your content ❤️❤️❤️

I’m obsessed with you 😩❤️
I always go back to the Pacifica Kale Detox face wash. Its such a simple cleanser and I love how effective it is at cleansing without feeling stripping.
My favorite face wash is a powder wash with enzyme too! It's the Orbis Powder Wash Oil Cut which also has lipase but the main difference is probably it doesn't have lactic acid so it's more gentle and it comes in a bottle instead of individual packets. They also do refill bags which is really nice.
Ample N 🤩 I’m about to order the CosRX Cica toner instead as it got massive great reviews 😍
Love how you put the price with the item. It makes it easy to see if the item is at a price point I can afford. 🥰

LOVE! That Ample ceramide ampoule. A light ceramide moisturizer you could try is Meishoku Brilliant Colors - Ceracolla Perfect Gel Cream. It has been great for summers in Miami but I could see it being layered under a thicker moisturizer for dryer months.
I've been loving Missha Time Revolution essence!! So Hydrating and has definitely helped calm some of my redness!!
James product reviews and recommendations are important,vital or imperative 😊. Always wait for your reviews and recommendations before I buy them. Never miss watching your youtube videos. Also,I have one question and hope you could answer when using Inkey list PHA underarms daily, do you use moisturizer on underarms or just leave it on? Also, how often one can use PHA on body? Thanks for making these videos and sharing with us all.
Love the Cosrx products! Just found another HG, the overnight rice mask! So soothing and I wake up still hydrated, but not greasy. Thank you for introducing me to the brand! 😘😘💖

You really make skin care easy❤️😍
A series of holy grails each one focusing on a particular product would be amazing. So toners, cleansers etc get a show each. It could cover different price points and then at least 5 or so could be in each film. That would be an amazing resource to call upon
Holy grails for me are the Illyoon ato ceramide mosturizer, the purito from green cleansing oil and the I'm from Mugwort essence. The rest fluctuates from time to time, but these stay!!
Been eyeing the ceramide serum for the while now. I'm taking this as a sign to take it

my hg products: isntree aha essence and soon jung 2x barrier intensive cream i can’t live without these two
My holy grails are definitely everything from the COSRX snail line...its done wonderful things for my skin...on your recommendation BTW so thank you SO much for That! ❤❤❤
I have pretty dry skin (i even need to wear night cream during the daytime in the summer) but i find BHA absolutely fine to use. Paula's choice 2% is the best product for clearing the clogged pores on my nose without drying the skin on my cheeks.

A new video from James 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
My biggest holy grail product is the Krave Beauty Great Barrier Relief. Omg I love it so much! When I first bought it I was pretty turned off by the nutty-earthy odor, but the results were (and are) undeniable! I will "suffer through" the smell for that!
The second James’ face popped up on the screen in this video I said “good LORT his skin looks amazing!!!!” 😍
W7 skin so bright serum is super affordable but gives my skin a nice glow and hydration 💓
Ooh I need to try some of these. My Holy grail is the First Aid Beauty Skin Rescue Daily Face Cream. Perfect for my combo, sensitive skin.
I'll know I made it in life once I have a skin as clear and dewey and perfect as James's 😍😍
Some holy grails: All Clean Gream foam cleanser from Heimish, Illy yoon ceramide moisturizer, iUnik propolis serum, Dear Klairs fundamental gel water cream, and the mugwort essence (i'm from)
i love the iunik propolis serum and beta-glucan daily moisture cream 🥰 both of them i have bought a few times now!
Kaylee is now an official lover of Glow Recipe! 💕. Because. ‘James said to’…..well how could I argue that? 🥰🥰🥰 Thank you.
I am OBSESSED with Glow Recipe niacinamide dew drops and the avocado melt retinol sleeping mask... My bank account hates me for it but my skin loves them! Also the Hello Sunday "the one that's got it all" sunscreen primer, and my new favourite cleanser - Farmacy Green Clean. Since adding these to my skincare routine I've been able to stop wearing foundation during the day as my skin is so much more even in tone and I don't have to cover up. You are entirely to blame for all of my skincare expenses but they're all so amazing I just can't stay mad 😂
These videos are so therapeutic. Puts my little baby boy to sleep no joke 😅
Kate Somerville acne spot treatment is the only acne treatment that has ever worked for me. I’m on my 6ish bottle. Love it and it’s my holy grail for sure!!!
I love the haruharu wonder toner!
The Cica line from CosRx saved my sunburned skin tremendously. I purchased the power and mixed it with my moisturizer that was strategically placed in the fridge for the extra cooling relief I needed. Seriously don’t know how I would’ve been without it!
I love the Tula revitalizing eye cream, I am 33 and it does wonders for my fine lines, sinks in fast and is very moisturizing.
My holy grails are the inkey list vitamin B,C and E moisturiser (does the job) and the thank you farmer water sun cream!
my sister bought me those Kanebo - Suisai Beauty Clear Powder face washes a long time ago. they are perfect to take on trips or to have as a just in case.
I love the cosrx snail eye cream! I've been using mine 5 months and its still has so much left!
1:08 “My skin is.... oily as fuck.” SUBSCRIBED!!!! I absolutely love the proper, dignified accent punctuated by the occasional swear word. And the no bullshit reviews. Well done.
The last few days I was feeling like a skincare hoarder, all guilty for spending so much money. After watching James backup products I feel okay now :D
Your Skin is absolutely Glowing!😎
My holy grail products are from La Roche-Posay , more specifically their Toleriane range which is for sensitive skin. It’s absolutely amazing and has saved my skin which is very sensitive. The stand out products there are the Ultra cream and the serum. The serum is amazing for anyone with sensitive skin that might be going through something, it calms things down almost immediately. Just a total gem.

Ive been really enjoying the dr jart cica serum! Super soothing when im breaking out. Also i find that the beauty of joseon repair serum is great! I can see in thr background that youve got the amore pacific green tea essence! Review please!
I am always in awe of how our skin types couldn’t be more opposite and yet we have all the same skincare. These are literally my HG products with the exception I have a different brand enzyme powder and my Ample: N I have in the Mist instead of the serum 🤯 I really think it’s because you have rosacea and I get the lupus flare rashes which gives us the “sensitive” skin condition and favor of PHAs. I do also always keep Etude Houses Soon Jung cica balm, barrier cream and toner along with Klairs midnight blue cream on hand in case of a flare. I was introduced to Ample:N several years back from a Korean subscription box called PinkSeoul - it’s a good one!
The purito centella unscented serum is a HG for me! Ceramides, peptides, niacinamide, AND centella? What more could you ask for???
The Olivella Moisturizer Oil is my only holy grail. It works so well for me.
James, could you please share your favourite cotton pads? I’d love to know!
The Tony Moly’s Mochi ceramide toner is just pure love. Oh my deodorant is the TO Glycolic Acid toner.
