One of the best bits of advice I've ever gotten from you has nothing to do with actives, brands, or anything. It's about enjoying the experience of the products you're using. That's how I went from someone who didn't even wash her face to someone who has a full routine, dramatically improved skin and real knowledge of products. Without the enjoyment factor this would have never become my favorite hobby and would have stayed a chore that I eventually slacked on doing. Its changed not only my physical skin quality and outward confidence but has changed how I feel on the inside too. It's my favorite self care. That was a little over 2 years ago. I owe a chunk of my mental health to this channel. I even do self care skin love stuff with my kiddo who's only 2.5. She loves lotions and pretends to use serums (water) and stuff with mom. Sending love from us to you.

Exactement!! That’s the best takeaway for me too!! Before I would always force myself to use a product just cuz of its ingredients & all but now it’s my personal experience and enjoyment that matters the most!! I love glow recipe for this reason

Honestly same. Ive gotten So Much Better about my skin care sincr I've started treating it like Fun and indulging occasionally

Always love these kinds of videos. As interesting as new products can be, it’s the tried and tested stuff that’ll last you in a routine.

i love when creators show products that they use and the bottle/container isn’t full so you can be 100% sure they actually use it - that glow recipe toner has clearly been used to death and that’s a big green flag for recommendations! definitely going to look into it 🥰

I love the glow recipe toner! My bottle is down to like a centimeter 😂 I have a second bottle for when the one I’m using now runs out, as well as a couple travel size - definitely my “holy grail”/“deserted island” product

I’d love a video showing different routine ideas and products, for different skin concerns! Like blemishes or dryness or oiliness x

this is so helpful imo. i love learning about new products but i also love knowing people's holy grails. i want the best of the best!

I get so excited when I see you've posted a video 😊 it honestly means so much to have someone you can trust to tell you the truth when it comes to skincare 💗

i love when you post on fridays!!!! getting into the weekend mood with you :)

Your skin has such a gorgeous glow!! I love seeing that your favorites are not just the usual celeb over priced products. Your routine feels real and honest. Thank you!!

Just love you, James. I'm always happy to see you post new videos.

absolutely perfect timing! I've had so many friends/family asking about skincare advice for face/body the past few weeks and I've been trying to look up different products for different people's skin concerns! you're a lifesaver, and one of the only people I trust with this information! xo skin is the body's largest organ, let's be kind to it and take care of ourselves 💚

I LOVE the Then I Met You balm. It's a GREAT cruelty-free (truly cruelty free) alternative option to a tired and true K-Beauty balm like Clean It Zero.

Your the only skincare channel that I didn’t unsubscribe from. Always so interesting. I love your videos:)

Always get so excited when I see that you’ve posted!! Perfect dinner time video 😂👍🏼

Thank you James, for sharing mostly cruelty free products (bar the SKII)! 💕

I love it! The first product you mention is my all time favourite cleansing balm... possibly favorite ever skin product! I look forward to using it. I switch out to try others sometimes (because I have to try all the new shiny things lol) but always come back to the Then I Met You Living Cleansing Balm. I also love the Soothing Tea Cleansing Gel. 😍🤩 I have the COSRX clarifying toner but haven't started in yet. Good to know you like it so!

So far I’ve only seen the title and the video intro, but already gotta say: this is a superior video idea. 🙌🏽

Thanks for this James, i like simple routines, i don't have time or patience for very complicated things. Your voice sounds amazing, by the way.

I can't thank you enough James, the difference to my skin from watching your videos is unreal. Would literally trust you with my life lol 😂 . Dying to try alot of these things but Yestlyle isn't shipping to Northern Ireland 😞 . Hope Robert is keeping well x Love your videos x

Your videos are always insightful 😊

Your skin looks so gorgeous and glowy!!!

I bought the Glow recipe watermelon toner because of you and I absolutely LOVE it. It's only been a week, which isn't nearly long enough to see the full effect, but it is the only new product I have added to my routine in months and I can see the texture on my forehead smoothing out. My skin also really likes tea tree oil!! My first step in my routine is alcohol-free witch hazel that I added some TTO to (about 10 drops for a... idk it's a big bottle) and I find my skin is way less reactive after using it. I find I don't need another anti-redness specific product.

Skii for sure!!! It has truly transformed my skin! Glow recipe moisturizer and dew drops...yepp. You mentioned a few things I now must try. The cleansing balm being one. Thank you as always!

You probably won't see this, but I have to say, THANK YOU! 🤗 I finally gave in and purchased the watermelon glow PHA toner because you use it so much and it absolutely changed my life. I am crazy acne prone, oily, sensitive skin, and I had recently gone through horrific breakouts from using a prescription acne cream. Healing that damage was going slow until I bought the glow recipe toner and it sped up like crazy! I also use the CosRx BHA and AHA toners too that helped me heal, but that glow recipe changed my life. Thank you so much for giving me such amazing suggestions, I finally feel confident enough to go places without a mask again ❤️❤️

This is the exact video I needed from you as of recently you must’ve read my mind☺️

I used to be a st Ives scrub girl and scrubbed my skin to within an inch of its life (oof) but as I get older and my skin stayed oily and acne prone it finally clicked that I was going about it all wrong 🙃 I always love your recommendation videos!

Bought the glow recipe toner cuz of your recommendation and it’s working wonders for my blackheads prone nose

Perfect routine, it’s so funny majority of these products I have been thinking about getting & I randomly watched this video and they were everything you used. Safe to say I will be going forward with my decision thanks to you boo! You could totally notice the difference with the eye patches, WOW! 😊

That living cleansing balm is the best one I’ve ever tried and it smells sooo yummy 😋

Urgh, I'm so glad you did this...I've been needing to up my skincare asap and just haven't been able to decide..I have the same skin concerns as you so I'm always watching your videos - Annoyingly you always give to much choice, so to see this it was perfecto! Not going to be buying them all...but I'll buy the main steps that I take 😃 thank you as always ✨️

Great skin! I love seeing other peoples skincare routines

i've been using the Sun Serum for weeks and instantly fell in love!! i have super sensitive skin, very acne prone. and i've had no trouble from this at all! love it so much. I often put a base of regular untinted mineral sunscreen and then this on top to counteract any white cast :)

hi james!! can you make a video about essences you like and what they’re supposed to do? ❤

Love this, great products there, had a little giggle when I seen 15 steps for James😄❤🇦🇺

I love the Glow Recipe Pink Juice, and it's definitely my go-to for a daytime moisturizer. I tried a similar product that's cheaper from YesTo that didn't play nice with my sensitive skin (darn tomato extract 😒); fortunately, my sister doesn't have the same sensitivity I do and it works beautifully for her.

Tried and love the R&R because of you!!!

Yeeessss, I was just thinking about Beet Shield the other day. I miss it! It was def my favorite!!!!!

My holy grails are Sukin hydrating mist , the oridnary retinol 0.5 in sqalane, Esmi eye delight reflection balm, raw kanvas the limelight perbiotic lotion, kora organics aha serum, qv cream and go to face hero facial oil, cleansers I tend to use anything oil based and creamy and a hularonic acid serum but I don’t have a holy grail one just use any

I've just purchased the glow recipe toner along with the plum plump moisturiser aswell as the strawberry serum I've been buying for a while now! The cosrx toner is also a product I love! I wish I'd seen this video before I bought the Milk cleansing balm though 😬

Oo so I recently got the Fenty skin hydrating toner, and I looove it. I haven't even used my Glow Recipe toner since I got it😳 my dry skin looooves it, my skin has never felt this smooth and hydrated🙌🙌🙌

Then I met you cleansing balm has changed my life. I am thinking about trying out the new krave beauty make up remover for travel and lazy days tho

I do this routine now and omg my face feels amazing! Noticed a difference in my skin in 2 days!

Saturday Skin legit works! I have dry, tired skin and after my wife showed me how to use her stuff, I look better than my age. I like that the scents aren't too much and it doesn't feel like so much product sitting on my face.

Love your videos James! I'm a senior and have horrible wrinkles and huge pores. Would this routine work for me? And if so, how would I fit in prescription Retinol?

Have you considered making a video about low waste skincare products? The Experiment mask and Dieux eye masks made me think of it....but I feel there are starting to be more options out there (like the Glow Recipe Plum Plump cream) and I feel like it would line up with your ethos.

I can’t live without the glow recipe dew drops!!

The make lip serum is AMAZING

Thumbs up for James for introducing us to GlowRecepie, my absolute favourite products ever, making skincare effective and enjoyable at the same time!!! Worth every penny of yours💗💗💗💗 also, sad that make beauty is not available in many contries tho, I would’ve been so happy to be able to try them but they’re not available in my contry (Romania). Loved this video 🫶🏼

I also love the cosrx essence. But I'm a ride or die tretinon user. But I'm almost 50 so age difference is huge and I didn't start skincare til after 40 so I have catching up to do!!!

My heart skipped a heartbeat when I got the notification. Love all your videos 🖤

would love to hear ur opinions on numbuzin!!! especially the no.3 super glowing toner and the no.3 softening serum since they’ve been said to use similar ingredients to the SKIII essence (and are Much cheaper :P)

Hi James, I LOVE your videos! I use the GR niacinamide in the evening because it makes me look and feel so oily. It doesn’t dry down. Do you have any suggestions about using it during the day? Thank you!!

I’m gonna try these out. Thanks man 😅

I love the Peace Out retinol face stick, I wish it was a bit cheaper here but it’s still worth every penny.

I use my silicone face mask over my sheet mask to lock in the goodness for longer. Just like you did for your eyes with the reusable eye patches.

I’ve yet to try glow recipe trying to finish the products I already have first but I defo want to try the pink toner serum n moisturiser so badly

Can U do a vid abt why olaplex works? And what ingredients should someone look for in similar products? I know it’s not skincare exactly… but it’s related, kind of- and I think you’d explain it super well! This is a secret that needs to be told!!

I love your comments and honest reviews ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

have you tried the cosRX ceramide cream? I'm kind of loving it for an evening moisturizer!

Agree 100% on the glow recipe niacinamide

This was a great video, thank you. Out of curiosity, have you ever tried any Uriage products?

I would really love a video that talks about K-beauty brands that are really really underrated. When I first got into Kbeauty, I used brands like Its Skin and Farm Stay and Esfolio, and I have never heard about them from a skincare influencer, I would love to hear you opinion on brands (that you dont usually mention)

The Living Cleansing Balm legit changed my life. It smells amazing, works like a dream and helps rehydrate my skin like no other. (I use Retin A and my face gets soooo dry.) and like James says, it lasts a good long time so worth the price!

Was it Josie maran that used to have a sea buckthorn oil like a decade ago? I totally forgot about it until now. I remember loving it

R&R sun serum…I purchased it after you reviewed it and I love it!!! I’m very oily and most sunscreens just made it soo much worse including Krave Beauty. Others looked awful under makeup. I honestly used sunscreen because I knew I should but hates it. The R&R sun serum really is GREAT!! Doesn’t make me any more oily than my normal, wears really well under makeup and I can apply globs of it and it still looks great under makeup!!

This was great ❤ could you do the same thing with more budget friendly products that are still amazing? xoxo

You can use it as a first step in a double cleanse, makeup or not, but you should be wearing SPF on your face every day that you can use the balm to remove :)

@Robert Welsh enjoying this, as usual. I could probably splurge for 1-2 of these, several I have wanted, or now want to, try. But could you do more of a drugstore version if you weren’t loaded with all that KZread wealth 😉

Hi drating. Love how he says it.

Hi James, great content as usual. I have a question . Do fatty acids increase fungal ances ?

Hi, James! Big hugs from Tokyo! ❤️🤗

I would love to see your thoughts on peach and lily!

Hi everyone, I snubbed my nose at the GLOW Recipe products for so long. Boy was I silly. I LOVE this line. If you want full size of each product it can be very pricey BUT I found on SEPHORA they have a mini's kit for around $47 Canadian, you get the Toner, Plum Plump, Glow drops, Avo eye cream and the moisturizer. I will be buying multiples of these kits. MY skin LOVES this line.

I started with the mini sized ones too because, after using several products from other brands that didn't work for me, they didn't feel like they would be a huge commitment. I currently use the Blueberry Bounce cleanser and either the Plum Plump or Pink Juice moisturizer depending on my hydration needs at the time.

how do you feel in regards to skin cycling? Thanks for sharing content!

I think the good molecules cleansing balm also has sea buckthorn!

Hey James, have you tried the Aromatica cleansing balm? It's so soft, smells amazing and washes great in my experience. Sounds similar in texture to the then I met you but much more affordable.

Thank you so much for all of your videos, I'm 24 years old and nobody taught me how to care for my skin, much less how to make it a fun experience instead of a chore. I'm so excited to be taking small steps towards finding products that work for me and maybe even add in some actives eventually to meet skin goals, which I have now after learning what skincare can even do! I received a sample size of a Pistache brand eye cream and loved it, but when I went to the website I saw lots of misleading language (in my opinion) and now I feel like although the eye cream was nice, I don't really trust the brand especially at that price point for such small amounts of product. Would you ever consider doing a video or a series on breaking down advertising terminology from product listings/websites to demystify the buying process? I know you've talked a lot about how eye creams only produce temporary effects and any 'anti-aging' effect actually comes from filler and botox, but I feel like theres so many different ways a product listing can be misleading if you don't know what to look for! Thanks for reading hun ❤❤❤

One of my favorite books is the skincare bible and it has a chapter about skincare terms and phrases.

For moisturizer I switch them out depending on the season. Idk if aynone else does that? I have overall dry skin but especially in fall/winter it becomes extremely dry so I always have to switch to a heavy day and night moisturizer (at night paired with an overnight mask) because otherwise my face would be sooo dry. I also love the glow recipe moisturizers BUT I can only use them in spring and summer, they're just not hydrating enough for me in winter eventho I love them. (currently using the plump plum one which is a great comming out of winter / spring cream for me!)

Everyone's skin has an affinity for certain types of oil. Few of us need trendy oils like sea buckthorn in a cleanser. A mix of aloe and your ideal oils will give you a very frugal cleansing oil, to make it a balm, just use an oil that sets at a lower temp, like Shea (prob avoid coconut unless u know it's good for your skin) or add melted beeswax...I've accidentally made cleansing balm so many times, trying to make other products, lol, it's just a version of natural lip balm. It's a very easy and safe DIY.

As someone who has oily skin with tons of white/black heads. I've noticed using the glow watermelon toner has definitely helped with my black heads abit. The pores on my nose still get somewhat clogged but nit as much as they used to. Maybe I'm nit using it to its full potential?

I thought for sure you would mention the Watermelon glow mist!

James, I'll back you up. That Cleansing Balm is the Bomb. I've bought it once?? kinda expensive but very Choice. Nice pick on this light exfoliate. Then I met You makes A good exfoliate second wash. Hey why did you leave out your eye lids when you applied sunscreen?

James, can you do a review on Benton honest cleansing foam?

I’ve been using Lagom spf for 6 years ❤️

Can you give me an idea of how moisturizing the glow recipe niacinamide dew drops are compared to the pink juice moisturizer? I have super dry skin so normally I use the pink juice moisturizer as a hydrating serum or under my retinol serum to decrease irritation, but I was thinking about switching it out for the dewdrops. Do you think that would work, or do you have another suggestion? Thanks!

I know you're probably going to hate these products, but I wish you would review the new Oil of Olay retinol products. I've used OoO for years and years and I'm 58 and think I've aged pretty well. Unfortunately, I've neglected it completely for the last 5 years and am just now getting back into my am/pm routine and I can see the results of that neglect 😔 I love you and Robert both 💞 and would just love if you would review OoO 😊🤗🥰

I miss your videos! Please do post more often

What about the it cosmetic’s cc 50+ with sunscreen I love that one. Also love this influencer on TikTok that showed me a routine I use all of the time now

Can you review the inkey list solutions? And compare them to their normal things? Any tips for really stubborn closed comedones. Nothing I use gets rid of them. They are on the sides of my chin. I have done everything . I brush my teeth first then cleanse as I was worried that was causing it but made no difference. I have tried Aha, bha, retinol . Etc only thing that works is to pop them/ burst them but then I get pustule spots that then scar. I even tried sulphur as I thought they might be fungal. Tried nicinamide. My skin had improved so much thanks to you James but they are so stubborn .
