You’re so pretty
Unfortunately I gave up on the hyper serum as I couldn’t justify the price for the amount you get. I used it consistently for a year and seen absolutely no results. It just felt really nice on my skin that’s all 🤷♀️ I also had the vitamin C moisturizer included which also felt so nice and light on my combination skin however just like the serum, it did absolutely nothing for me. If I’m going to be spending my money on a product that just feels nice, there are plenty of options out there for a fraction of the price!
Hi dana, l bought tocobo suncreem now and l want send you pictures of the suncream to see if original or not Please dana help me❤
I am not an expert on this, but where did you buy it from?
@@DanaRipperton from cosmetic
Do you mean Cosmetis?
@@DanaRipperton yes
@@user-ks5hd4xn6hcosmetis is a reputable retailer
Love brand reviews! Brands i would be interested Peach and lily, Equalrxn, Remedy, then i met you… and many more ;) 😅
Very fair review, thank you. I had the same experience. Very nice products, not much result. Too expensive for no results.
What’s the “gleanser” you use?
It’s the Prequel gleanser. I added a link in the description. I also have a full video on Prequel
Which La Roche Posay are you talking about?
I’ve added it in the description 🤗 under the products I mentioned
I have a comment on the morning face wash... I would agree that it's not necessary if you wash your hair every evening and don't use hair products to bed. And also if you replace your pillow case every couple of days. Otherwise it will make sense to wash your face in the morning.
Most skincare professionals would disagree. Unless you need to for a skin-related reason, washing with water is sufficient. Of course now for everyone, but for the most part we don’t need to disrupt our moisture barrier more
@@DanaRipperton Yes, I do agree with stripping the barrier. There are ultra gentle washes out there though... I'm just saying that hair oils, hair products and skincare products transferring to the pillowcase make it not such a clean place that you want to leave on your face skin all day next day. For example, I have a hair product that I would put on in the evening after the shower. It's one of those Korean leave in sprays for scalp health... I absolutely love it on my hair, but I noticed I would sometimes wake up with a mild dermatitis on my cheeks. So now I only put it on in the morning. Might be the essential oils that it contains.
I’m sorry to hear that! Dermatitis is never fun. In your case, I would agree, washing might be good. I think my overall argument is more that plain water should be fine for most people and for normal debris that may get on your face at night. Of course there are always exceptions 🤗
Dr Shereene Idriss is the sole funding agent of her skincare line. She talks about this extensively and explains it as the reason her products cost a little more...whereas both Naturium and Prequel are backed by the Center so they churn out the products and the prices are lower. I definitely enjoy several products from both brands as well. I enjoy watching Dr Idriss's channel tho and adore her authenticity overall. However , I'd be disingenuous if I didn't say I'm kinda sick of EVERY video of hers being used as a vehicle to hawk only her own products anymore. She used to give great suggestions and recommendations for a variety of skincare concerns but now everything she talks about boils down to evening out the skin tone as the end all and thus a springboard for her to tout her own products over everything else (because her products all focus on evening out the skin tone). I love the soft wash and actually prefer it over the gleanser as the gleanser to me has an odd odor. Both are wonderful cleansers tho. Also enjoy the hyper serum, the gel cream and the arnica/niacinamide roller. Sadly, I can't use her flash mask because of its high concentration of tranexamic acid and my prothrombin mutation. Bummer too as it seems to be her most loved product.
Appreciate your nuanced response 🩷 I really like the soft wash too and could see quite a few people preferring the texture over gleanser.
@@DanaRipperton I love the texture of both. The gleanser has a strange plastic-y odor to me for some reason.
I think you misunderstand the Depuffer--it is to help with puffiness, not redness, which are different things. Puffiness has to do with fluid retention, seasonal allergies (rather than contact allergies), can also be caused by some medications. That is why it has a metal roller--to help with cooling and drainage of fluid. Redness has more to do with irritation, rosaecea, etc. You kept referring to redness and how you don't have redness, but that is not the point of the product. Also I agree that the serum is overpriced, but you do get a full 30mL which is standard (because you get two 15ml in each package) so your math on that was wrong.
I don't misunderstand the point of a de-puffer, I just was more focused on the formula than the device. The device is nothing revolutionary. Thanks for pointing out the difference though!
She's not an "IG dermatologist", she's is a practitioner in new york that also shares information on social media. I think its sounds so diminishing the way you said it 😢
She can be both (and is), but she is known because of her social media presence, so I don't think I'm wrong in calling her that.
I was so excited when she announced she was coming out with a line. Then, I looked at the prices and my excitement was gone! Thank you for this review, though. It's truly useful! Ps. you are STUNNING Dana!
Yeah, the prices are pretty steep. And thank you, so sweet of you
All dermatologist influencer's brands on social media, I automatically ignore them when they present their products. They ALWAYS try to make us feel like their products are unique, better and magical but none are. They are literally not better than what I use from the drugstore. I am not saying they are not good tho. They might be very good but not better. Actually, brands from drugstores as La roche Posay, Cetaphil, Aveeno, Eucerin etc etc are all developed from Dermatologists too. Reason why the majority of people still buy the basics at the drugstores (cleanser/moisturizer/spf) even tho ordering online is popular. Drugstore's products are a go to.
Dermatologists are endorsed to promote these brands, some Dermatologists may have be involved in the process of creation of those products. But at the end of the day, they are always formulated by cosmetic chemists, or pharmacists ( in France where I live) and not Dermatologists and they are not developed by Dermatologists. If you don't have the final word to a product it's not fair to say that. But their marketing team knows what to do. What matters the most is who owns the brand. They are the one choosing which direction the brand should take, which includes the image, the purpose, the ingredients, the pricing, the trends or lack of trends. The owner is the one truly developing the brand and the brands you named are not owned by Dermatologists. I don't think that Dermatologists brands are automatically better because at the end of the day like any cosmetic brands their choice in ingredients is the same since they are not medecine but inci ingredients. And pharmacists or cosmetic chemists specialised in this field know better how to formulate a product in order to make it work from choosing the right ingredients, how to get the right pleasing texture or the right PH, the right combination of preservatives, ingredients that are compatible, the right packaging for a formula... Dermatologists don't know all of that since they are specialized in the medical way of treating a patient.
Can you review the curology over the counter dark spot serum?
Will look into it🙂
I have the moisturizer and it's pilling! Also, didn't notice much difference after using it all
Are you using other products underneath? Could be related to that. Also, you’re not going to see changes quickly with almost any skincare product. Takes a long time!
@@DanaRipperton nope, just a toner underneath. I used it during the day instead of vitamin C serum+moisturizer. But as you said in the video, this form of vitamin C is not very potent. So I finished it because it wasn’t cheap, but didn’t like it
@@blondebot Totally get that! Hate when they pill!
Amazing review! I also love the glenser, it has ruined most cleansers for me. I hope you reviews Remedy from Dr Shaw soon
Thank you! Yes! I have 2 Remedy products so I just need to get through some other products I’m using first so I can test them 🤗
You should try Remedy by dr Shah next!
I have some! Will be testing soon🥳
I think you meant melasma can't be cured. It can be treated by OTC products.
Yes! Thank you!
@@DanaRipperton You're welcome 🙂
you look incredibly glowy gorgeous!! what base were you using??
Thank you 🥰 I always list any makeup I wear in the description. For the glow, it’s more where I live and my skin type than the products I used 🤣
Dr. Idriss: "You don't have to spend too much on skincare." Also Dr. Idriss: released overpriced skincare products. 😂✌️
100% accurare
Yes but UNlike the brands Prequel and Naturium, Dr Idriss's skincare line is solely funded. It's why her products cost a little more.
I recently swapped over to this range from using SK-II for over a decade. I’m loving the full range. I have mature, dry skin which is very sun damaged. I’ve seen great results and follow her tabled application guidance which actually only has the flash mask twice per week. My only complaint is that I’d like larger sizes for the serum and moisturiser as you get through those quicker than the other products. Only a small amount of the cleanser takes everything off (sunscreen which gets reapplied plus or minus added makeup) at the end of the day but your skin still feels soft and non stripped (I use the prequel glenser after the gym in the morning before my morning Dr Idriss range). I’m very impressed with the full range and despite having to ship it internationally thus making it more expensive I’ve already repurchased the full range and plan on doing so as it’s been such an easy and seamless transition and a routine that is not time consuming nor complicated yet yields great results..
Glad that it’s working for you 🩷
@@natrodsjo8324 I love the serum and agree that it would be great to get it in a larger size. I bet the Idriss products seem cheap after a decade of SK-II 😂
I agree with you.
Its funny because she is also on KZread and she just did a review of that Laroche Posay serum and she said she didn’t like it.
This line seems so overpriced for a cocktail of ingredients that are already in so many products on the market for less. Remedy dark spot serum has a slew of other additional ingredients and is $30 less! plus great formula and packaging
I got the tinted one but because of summer im darker but on me looks white intead of darker like your is there different colors or just one because i see my face to white with it but you look darker
Are you sure you have the tinted one? Also, I haven’t check in a while, so maybe they did come out with more shades
Gimmick
What was the newish La Roche Posay product that you mentioned? I don’t see the link for it- thanks☺️
The mela B3 serum?
@@DanaRipperton yes that’s it- thanks
Her name is pronounced E-Driss not I-Driss. I follow her here on KZread 😄
👍🏼
I will stick with the Axis-Y Dark Spot Corrector and Timeless Vitamin C. I'm seeing a slow but noticeable improvement on the sun spots on my cheeks.
Is it good?
@WaffleRedondo Yes, the Axis-Y product seemed to accelerate the lightening of my dark spots after using Vit C for months. I've started to use the Axis-Y on old dark scars to see if they can be lightened too. I just started doing that this week, so no results yet.
I completely agree with you on the flash mask. It is sooo zippy, wow! I put it on while I am in bath....miserable!!! lol Next time I will wait for my face to be really dry.
Hahahah yep, gotta be careful with it 😬🤣
you should do Stratia next!
Good idea!
thanks for the review! what are your favorite OTC products for brightening and hyperpigmentation?
Vit C and I’ve been using the new LaRoche Posay Mela B3
Social media dermatologist are soooo tough on other brands, then they come out with their own products and none of them make sense?? I trust Dr. Sam and that's it!
Hahahaha very good point!
Personally I think you should always take a stand no matter if they still are gonna sell it anyways. It still makes a difference, but thanks for sharing where you stand, since you’re “below taking a stand”
Everyone has different thresholds for when they take a stand on something. What's important to me might not matter to you, and vice versa. Social media controversies aren't high on my list since anyone can post anything about others, whether it's true or not.
To each their own. I 100% agree with @nickimontie here and just don’t want to waste my time on social media controversies.
I don’t trust YT or IG dermatologist. I can’t take them seriously.
Exactly. Real derms and doctors are doing the hard work everyday away from the social media glare.
Thanks for this review! It seems to me that the best product is the peel. I think it’s really worth the price for such a sophisticated product!
Really love the peel and the cleanser is very nice, but obvi I love my gleanser even more
I felt the same way about the Wonderglow but now they have multiple shades. I have only tried the one shade product but maybe you'll like the other shades. The lightest shade could be good for winter.
I’ve seen the new shades, but honestly I just don’t need a glowy sunscreen like that. My skincare gives me a glow just as easily 😂
I have tried the Extreme Cream, Eye Cream and the Elastic Serum. I enjoyed all the products. But would i repurchase? Yes....on the eye cream because i do see a difference in my undereye darkness. The other 2 were enjoyable but i have other creams i also enjoy. Plus i went through the serum faster than the eye cream and extreme cream. Maybe 1 month which was disappointing. I like my skincare to last st least 2 months, especially for these pricier products.
I agree with the eye cream! I have started to see noticeable results from using it for a few months now and will keep using it. I LOVE the extreme cream though and am shocked you go through it so quickly as a little can go quite a long way with it.
Your summer look is adorable. I am afraid to try freckles but they look great on you.
Awww thanks! Give them a try, they wash off 😊
The bioretinol is some Spanish plant… nicotiana benthamiana. In the ingredient list it’s paired with a peptide.
Theyre gonna be at target soon!
I saw!!! So exciting!
Gosh, I hope you recover quickly! It must be annoying!
I’m pretty much healed now-just getting my range of motion back but thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼
OMG IT'S MAGIC
Thanks for the reviews. Gotta ask, is that Jahna Vashti art in background?
I just looked that artist up and none of my art is from them.
Thanks for this video!
I need this comparison -thank you!!
Beautiful video, thanks for been honest
I live in the desert and liking the product so far. I need a moisturizer sunscreen, its the combo Ive been looking for to keep moisture on my face.
I'm doing this today, I have a lot of 4c hair, I'll report on my results.
2-4 FULL droppers? I feel like it will finish in a week 😅
this is soo my thing
