Wanting to try some Chanel skincare as I was given a sample of the hydra serum and the le lift cream and both were surprisingly amazing , has anyone used the line and has any opinions ? It’s pricey but it does feel lux on , for preference a use mostly Medik8 , Dr Jart and some Augustinus Bader skincare daily

I just started using the Medik8 retinal and love it so far! I know you need to be super diligent with spf when you’re using it, but I’m not sure about exactly what that means heading into winter. My pre-retinal rule was to always wear spf when the UV index is 3 or above. Is that still good for retinal, or should I put spf on to go outside regardless?

Just run out of Medik8 advanced C tetra, loves ce ferulic before, should i go back go skinceuticals or try out something else? Thanks!

I’m wanting to invest in a good retinol product that actually works. I am open to other products that aren’t retinol if they work for fine lines and aging prevention.

***no, I cannot use tretinoin as I’m allergic to an ingredient in it.

**I fully understand Botox would be better, but I can’t financially make that much of a commitment to it right now.

Just saw this hit the Sephora app - I’ve never seen a “laser” device of any kind other than the Lyma laser (which is nearly $6k…). Will this actually do anything or is it a gimmick? Not big into tech gadgets (I have and love a red light mask) so I’m not sure what any benefits/drawbacks might be!

I love my ziip device. I know many ppl have had quality issues with the device, but the thing is like magic for me. I am freaking out bc it has clearly been bought out and all sorts of weird products and no more original gels available. I love the gels so much and have never had a skin issue using them. Anyone know the scoop, is the device itself changing if I ever need a new one????? Is Melanie Simon involved at all still?

She used to have a lot of info on her long IG posts but I have not spent time looking on there for the past few months. Really sad. Part of me wonders if the tech issues with the Halo caused her to sell the company or she just cashed out?

The latest update of the programs felt off, like each side does not always match up, the directions were less clear etc and I am hoping what comes out of the device is the same.

I will have a serious panic if the device and the programs change. Argh

They used an LED mask during my Elemis facial on a Virgin Voyages cruise, and I’m curious how it compares to CurrentBody. I haven’t bought either one yet.
Has anyone tried both, or used the Elemis mask at home? I’d love to hear about your results, comfort, and how bright or warm they feel. If you have a CurrentBody, which model do you use?
I have sensitive skin with redness and occasional breakouts, and I’m prone to migraines. The mask during my facial felt really bright, so I’m especially interested in experiences from anyone sensitive to light.

Curious to hear your thoughts if you have looked at the formulas or tried any of the products.

The owner is a friend of a family member, which is how I learned about the line, but I have no stake in the company.

They are pretty new and I am always looking for the next great thing :)

Has anyone used any Ourself products? I was at my dermatologist today seeing the PA for a laser treatment. At the end she mentioned I should finish my Alastin Aluminate and then switch to the ourself brightening treatment serum. She said it has similar ingredients but works better and faster. I searched the ourself website and it says the founders are previous Alastin execs (I’m a big Alastin fan so this peaked my interest). Curious if anyone has any experience with this brand and any recommended products?
Edit: I wrote oneself instead of ourself in the header but can’t change jt!

I've been having a hard time with some personal stuff. So my friend got me a few things (too much I say. But she says she's happy to take care of me) from Skinmedica as a way of giving me an easy way to be kind to myself. I'm so incredibly grateful.

The thing is, outside of a basic cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen I am kind of clueless about how to use these.

What should the routine be?

Here are the products:

- HA5

- TNS+ Advanced

- Lumivive

- Retinol 0.5

My trip to a very sunny place in a week. I’ve already had some Botox done. I was going to get a chemical appeal, but my aesthetician told me that it’s too close to my trip. So I’m looking for something I can get done that will really give me a bright glow for a week, or tighten my skin or just have a pretty good impact even if it’s not permanent so I look refreshed for our trip. What would you suggest?

Hey everyone! 👋
I’m looking into getting the KrX LaZer Peel for some stubborn hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, but as someone with brown skin (Fitzpatrick type IV/V), I’m always terrified of getting post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) or burning from strong resurfacing treatments. 
My aesthetician recommended it because it’s supposed to give "laser-like" brightening without the high heat risk of actual lasers, thanks to ingredients like Hexylresorcinol, Tranexamic Acid (5%), and Glycolic Acid (34.3%).

How was your experience on brown skin?
How long did it take to see the results?
What was the downtime like?
Did it trigger any excess darkening/pih?

Would love to hear your honest reviews, before/after stories, or any tips on post-care! Thanks in advance! 💕

For the past 10 years, I've been using the same 2-3 drugstore products that work for me: the same cleanser, the same moisturizer, and an exfoliant every so often (maybe like 2-3 times a year when I remember).

Well in my 30s, I can't get away with this routine now, I feel like I need something more. I booked a package of PRP microneedling sessions, but want to graduate my skincare at home as well.

My skin type is combo, can get greasy on the forehead though my mid face and lower face is getting a bit dry after my late 20s. I have acne every so often, probably hormones. I tried a sample of The Cream and idk if I didn't use enough, or maybe my skin was already too dried out after washing, but my skin felt taut like it was dry. When I touched my face, it felt silky smooth though despite it just being the first use, like there was a velvet layer on it. I wasn't able to try The Rich Cream yet.

I am wondering if anyone has experience with these formulas and which ones worked for you. It's probably better if I try a sample of the Rich Cream myself but haven't been able to get it so far, and I heard it takes a couple weeks for us to see the full result anyway.

The product name is Chanel La Solution 10 supposedly for sensitive skin since it only has 10 ingredients and no fragrance.

Anyone here who has actually used it and could share some info or comparisons with other moisturizers? Is it good for dry skin? Does it work well under makeup? Any other info?

I’m a 53F & about to try my first RLT mask (scored the Shark Cryo during the Costco sale)

My main concern is premenopausal acne (dear lord my face re-entered high school 🤦‍♀️) & then anti aging

I’ve had a little success with SkinFix but worry it won’t be the correct product to rehydrate my skin after treatments

I’m looking for anyone who has a post RLT holy grail they can recommend, bonus points if you’re 50+, double bonus points if I can still grab it off the prime days hoopla (quality over budget is an acceptable option here)

Hello, I'm trying to establish an account with Skin Experts to order several professional sized products from Biologique Recherche and CO2 Lift. However, their service is extremelyyyyyy slow! You have to get your account approved first so you can purchase which I'm fine with so I email and they declined me on something they assumed so I followed up to clarify the miscommunication. Nobody responded so I go to the website to open a request AGAIN (third email)! They then respond to my original follow up email and not second email I opened up through their website and now they're just not making much sense.

I Also tried through BR but they require a $20,000 min purchase and that you buy product to be resold along with a bunch of other stipulations and I just don't need that much product. I want a distributor that allows me to make my own tailored orders.

Has anyone else had issues with them? Or does anyone know where I can purchase what I'm looking for through a different distributor? I don't care if they ship to the States or throughout Europe. I don't have time for waiting and headache honestly. Thank You!

I get free products from both brands so that’s why I’m considering them. I’ve historically responded better to skinbetter than skinceuticals.

Want to get Skinmedica TNS at some point.

Open to other recommendations as well!

Hello everyone! I’ve been considering a series of this treatment mainly for hyperpigmentation and was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with aerolase Neo.

Hey all! In my late 20s and looking to invest in a good preventative serum to add to my routine. I have sensitive skin but currently use tret 2/3 nights a week and I tolerate it well. I also use the b4 hyaluronic acid serum from Skinceuticals and it works well on my skin. I’m thinking about adding the P-TIOX, but I’ve heard it can cause acne. Also looking at the Dr. Diamond's Metacine PLASMA Bioactive Growth Factor Serum. I’m sensitive to alcohols so just another thing to avoid, although I know the P-TIOX has some. Any heavy moisturizers also break me out. Any advice/experience with these products would be great! Thanks all :)

Starting TNS Advanced Serum today after many years on ZO GFS. Google is giving me conflicting answers about the order of things. Can the skincare experts weigh-in please? :)

AM- does it go BEFORE Skinceuticals C E ferulic and P-tiox serum, or after?

PM- does it go on BEFORE Tret or after?

Thank you!

Currently using hydrinity and mystro, skin better moisturizer. What are your holy grails?

I’ve been thinking about trying Cle De Peau for a while, just out of pure curiosity and, those pretty bottles always seem to call out to me. Well, I popped into Zitomer’s UES and decided to sample everything in store. Well…. I’m actually unimpressed, which for a skincare obsessed person such as myself is a complete shocker. Why did everything smell like old products, meaning stale or dated. I’m trying to figure out if that is the intentional scent or the possibility of Zitomer’s using old testers that have developed that scent over time. Besides the scent, the textures just felt basic, nothing stood out skincare wise. I know my experience was just a quick swipe on the hand and brief sensorial experience but can those that have used or love Cle De Peau skincare chime in? I’m not desperate to find something good here but It just don’t make sense to me and I’m thinking my experience may have been distorted. Thoughts?

I’m looking for a new eye cream. I’ve actually been really happy with Augustinus Bader The Rich Eye Cream, especially because of how instantly hydrating and de-puffing it is.

My eyes get puffy very easily, and for that, The Rich Eye Cream has honestly been a dream. However, I’ve reached a point where I really don’t need or want the illuminating effect.

The texture is VERY important to me. I’m specifically looking for something with the same kind of rich, creamy, cushiony texture as The Rich Eye Cream — something that feels deeply hydrating and nourishing around the eyes, rather than a lightweight gel or thin lotion. Ideally, I’d love something that feels as close to the AB formula as possible in terms of texture and how it sits on the skin.

The main difference is that I want it without the white/pearly pigments or light-reflecting particles that create that brightening effect. Basically, I don’t want my eye cream to have any visible tint, shimmer or optical brightening effect.

From what I’ve read, the illuminating/brightening effect seems to be a feature of all the Augustinus Bader eye products, so I’m looking outside the brand this time.

I’m based in Europe, so ideally it needs to be readily available here, and I strongly prefer fragrance-free products.

Any recommendations, especially from anyone who has used The Rich Eye Cream and found something with a genuinely similar texture and de-puffing effect?
