I just want to say not sure if it’s the lighting, new spot of filming, clothes… but you look glowing! Thank you for all your great advice, content and recommendations!!
Im really happy someone on CZcams finally tried that new cereve toner! I don't even like their products, but I tried the toner because I was in a pinch and I'm on my second bottle now. It just works so well! I was really surprised
Thank you! It's been a touch stressful to just jump into working in a space that only feels half unpacked! But it's good to know you're here through it! 🙏
LOL....."by that time I had already bought quite a bit of skincare" !!!! It is my weakness when I travel outside the US. Um, no maybe it's an obsession. Yes that's it. Let's see what can I get, that I can't get in the US and carry it all back and stuff some in my husbands bag as well LOL!!! There are loads of other things we could have addictions to! Yay skincare and glowy hydrated skin! Thanks for the reviews. I am enjoying several things from Korres I picked up in Athens in Mar!
I never hear anyone talking about the lrp wet skin gel and im so glad you did!! I love this sunblock - i never burn or tan whilst wearing this. But it is very prone to pilling if you rub too much and when you reapply on face - not so much body. But the protection is still so high so i love it. It does look greasy but idc too much as the protection is so good!
Glad you are feeling better Kelly! Being in new environments can be refreshing, invoke new beginnings/chapters in your life and def help get out of ruts. You look re-energized and empowered!! ✨ Love your blouse and hair! ❤️
Had to laugh when you said you weren't prepared for Greece to be so hot. Yes, it is a very hot country in summer. Like many southern European countries.
Cerave is still very much understated as far as I am concerned. I have not come across anything to use for slugging or slathering on the face at night to help preserve the skin's moisture levels. That is, other than Illiyoon Ato-Ceramide cream.
Congratulations on your move!!! Greece looked like such an amazing trip! I recently bought the la roche sunscreen, love it but don’t love the strong fragrance 😩
Kelly, I am Greek and I never gave a chance to KORRES and I am so glad I did. I tried the Korres Hydra Biome Probiotic Superdose Face Mask 100ml and OMG... I can confidently say that it is one of the best products I have ever used and it is even better than many Korean wash off masks.. Thank you for that! The only thing that I want to say is that I found the big jar with only 15euros so I was surprised when you said that it was 50ish in the airport! OH also there is a sheet mask from the same line!! Cannot wait to try it out!
**skincare 3 times per day** Due to my work I have anywhere between 2-5 hours between waking up and when I have to take a shower, do skincare etc and get ready for work. During the summer my skin did not mind the gap, but now that its getting colder I do wake up with more thirsty,dry skin. Do you have any reccomendations on what do apply in the morning just for few hours before my shower and main "morning routine" . First, skincare is expensive, so I dont want to "waste" something I have to wash off in few hours, but I am also worried about over hydrating and moisturising my skin.
The Cerave toner is actually very similar to the Paula’s Choice Skin Balancing Toner which I use to use all the time but also the ELF Pure Skin is very similar as well 😊
Just catching up on your videos because I was on vacation last week. I am loving the BOJ eye cream, but for use on my neck. Great gentle retinal for that area that is so sensitive. I also just tried out BOJ’s new cleansing oil for the first time, and my thought was “Kelly is going to love this!” If you haven’t gotten your hands on it yet, put it on your list! 😊 Congrats on your new home!
Thank you! The cleansing oil is great, have been using it now for the last few weeks! And awesome tip on the retinal for neck, always love eye products for the neck area!
I’m so excited to try the BoJ eye cream! I’ve been thinking about incorporating Vitamin A around the eyes, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet, and now I’m inspired. Out of curiosity, did you apply it over another eye cream first to cut down on any irritation or just go for it? ❤️
Are you on a prescription retinoid? I was cautious too, so I started slowly, just once a week. Now I can apply it three times per week and I have had zero irritation! I'd recommend it, just pay close attention to how your skin reacts 💖
Kendall's got the good advice here, go slow and pay very close attention to how you eye area responds. Since that area can be very sensitive you want to work your way up slowly to avoid irritation. I didn't use another eye cream but you absolutely can do this or just use a little moisturizer first then the retinal eye cream to get yourself adjusted.
@@kendallstark4302 I’m using the very gentle Stratia Night Shift cream on my face (not eyes), neck, and hands (currently, building up slowly to using every night, because I started too fast, too soon, with actives in my skincare journey, and have been learning how to incorporate things slowly and really listen to my skin about how much is enough for me). I’ve thought about applying the Stratia around my eyes, but have thought that something specifically formulated for the eyes may be a better idea.
@@ashegar it sounds like you have the right idea, going slowly. As Kelly said, you can put a bit of moisturizer on first, then apply your retinal, so it won't be absorbed so much and to avoid irritation. You can also put another layer of moisturizer on top just to be safe. That's what I did in the beginning, but now I've built up enough tolerance and can use tretinoin directly on my skin, and then apply moisturizer. Good luck!
My favs this month has been the PSA pancea serum so happy I took ur rec, new obsession SK11 essence,always Dr Cereacul kombucha essence forever it will be a fav also loving the skin lab c bubble serum the Manyo Bifida essence mist , ABIB water tube gel Soo good toner pads the dear klairs oil drop and the cosrx propolis toner. O I went to Marshalls the other night found the cosrx Cica toner u rave about I bought it of course it was like 13$ they had alot of k beauty and other goodies lots of cute home stuff Halloween stuff lots of cute clothes good hair products .* I have a list of things . I have Benton green tea toner coming can't believe I haven't tried iope bio condition . I want to get the dear klairs fudemental eye cream and gel and the isntree bifida also want the bifida serum but debating on that or the Rovectin young biome I can't decide .
I recently bought the Isntree TW Real Bifida Ampoule (assuming this is the one you mentioned) for the first time, actually I bought 2 bottles and a tube of the eye cream. I am LOVING the ampoule! The ingredients are amazing, fermented ingredients and probiotics help my skin so much. I am halfway through the first bottle and the consistency is really nice, it’s hydrating and I’ve noticed my skin is brighter and more even toned. It’s more like an overall brightness, like a glow from within. No change in sun spots but it has lightened some PIH spots I had. What makes me really excited, is I have noticed that my skin is firmer! It is noticeably plumper and I can feel how firm it is with my fingers. I have never found a product that has made my skin feel this way! I am assuming it is the peptides in it, and all of the other awesome ingredients working together to make magic?! Because I’ve used other peptide serums and/or bifida/fermented serums separately but haven’t had results like this. I can’t wait to see how my skin is after I finish both bottles! Though I don’t plan on being without this in my routine ever again, I really love it! That said I do want to try the Rovectin forever young one too!
@@elizabethc.9910 Thank u so much I have been wanting to purchase the bifa serum and bifa eye cream it's been on my list then some new products came out the numberzine 3 serum the Rovectin young biome ampoule and some things I love bifida and glactomysies. I got hooked on sk11 and I use to love the genific serum till I went frangerance free and of course I try all the essences with bifida and glactomysies in it so I'm excited to try it finally I gonna purchase this week. Thanks for ur insight I appreciate it so much ,;)
@@heathersargent289 you're welcome! I'm obsessed with those two ingredients too! Once I figured out most first essences contain tons of galactomyces, I've been trying a lot of them! I can't afford the SKII tho I'd love to try it, but so far I really like the Scinic First Treatment Essence and the Benton Fermentation Essence. I tried the Secret Key Rose first essence and I liked it but the other two have more ingredients I like! Especially the Benton one, you should check that one out too, if you havent already. It has all the bifidas, galactomyces, tons of ferments and some peptides... It's really good! I have perioral dermatitis, and once I started using fermented ingd, galactomyces, bifidas and probiotics (the Benton essence was my first) my dermatitis went away w/in a week & a half, and hasn't returned in almost 2 years now! 😁 And I suffered with it for years off and on, when the seasons changed or I had allergies! So I will forever have those ingd in my routine! 💜
@@elizabethc.9910 I love the sk11 didn't think I would be impressed like I was kinda of sad for me bad it really is like game changing I have all the bifida glactomysies essence I am obsessed with try to find the best alt for it the RNW renew essence is really good and I love the sinic too I got the iope bio condition essence coming Alice in the rabbit hole had the same revolutionary experience with the sk11 neither of us thought we would have but she said the iope bio essence is amazing it's like 69$ but 28$ on the Amorapacific retail seller for the Amazon prime thing so I got it and got it on a subscription basis so If I love it I can keep getting it for the cheaper price tag. I have to watch my ingredients list closely cause I can't use essenial oils I'm allergic to beramont and I stay away from fragrance ever since then my skin has been the best it has been since a teenager I was a lucky ten not breakout or anything then all the sudden years later and I can break out during that time of the month or using the wrong products
Congrats on your new home! This background is fine. It’s not busy allowing more focus on the products being spoken of. Ceerave breaks me out so I don’t purchase their products.
I’ve heard that retinal or retinaldehyde is supposed to be gentler on the skin compared to retinols because it only requires one step to be converted to retinoid acid. What are your thoughts?
Since Retinals and retinaldehyde are more potent, they may be more irritating for those first starting retinoids or those with sensitive skin. They always say start with a retinol product first then work your way up to retinal to avoid irritation.
Nope, the lesser the conversion required - the more potent the retinoid is. Tretinoin requires the least amount of conversion and is (one of) the strongest & harshest option.
I bought a water resistant sunscreen and still sweat it off. I am 50 and having hot flashes not sure I ever going find one that does melt of my face in less then an hour. Anyone have any ideas?
I just want to say not sure if it’s the lighting, new spot of filming, clothes… but you look glowing! Thank you for all your great advice, content and recommendations!!
Aww thank you, the new space helps a lot!
Agreed!
New Kelly 2.0 version😊. Good to hear that, you are feeling rejuvenated. I love your energy keep going dear.
Thank you so much!💖

I’m so happy for you Kelly. New living spaces take time for us to adjust. Relax and enjoy it and we will be there for you as you work out the kinks.

Was hoping to hear your review of the BoJ retinal eye cream! Also happy to see an European brand, added the Korres mask to my wishlist 😄
19:40 onwards, honestly relate to this so much and needed to hear it! Thank you ❤
I'm so glad this resonated with you!
I love your channel... it is one of life's greatest mysteries why you don't have millions of subscribers lol for real!!
Excited to see western skincare exploring milky toner! Can you please review the new Thayers hydrating milky toner with snow mushroom? 🍄
Great video, info, & you are a breath of fresh air with your positive energy. So glad you're move helped ya!
Congratulations on your move!!! Greece looked like such an amazing trip! I recently bought the la roche sunscreen, love it but don’t love the strong fragrance 😩
Your face mask is the new version. Sephora had the oldest version of the Korres face mask.

Aww thank you!
I’ve heard that retinal or retinaldehyde is supposed to be gentler on the skin compared to retinols because it only requires one step to be converted to retinoid acid. What are your thoughts?
Since Retinals and retinaldehyde are more potent, they may be more irritating for those first starting retinoids or those with sensitive skin. They always say start with a retinol product first then work your way up to retinal to avoid irritation.
Nope, the lesser the conversion required - the more potent the retinoid is. Tretinoin requires the least amount of conversion and is (one of) the strongest & harshest option.
Hi Kelly,
