Remember that skincare is extremely personal to everybody's skin. What works for me, may not work for you. But I hope my videos give you some good ideas for products, techniques, and Ingredients to try.
Also, I'm obviously not a dermatologist or a doctor, so all opinions on products and anything else I'm presenting, are results and findings from my own experience and research.
And that's why I'm here, to share my research and my findings that go further than what is said on the bottle or Google!
But, everything I present is always a discussion for you to join in with :)
If you have any serious skin concerns, please see a dermatologist/doctor.

"you'll never catch me at a music festival because I don't...like....doing things..." powerfully relatable content 😆
😂😂😩😩
I’ve never felt so understood.
big introvert energy 😂
Sameeeee 😂😂😂
So meet and greets probably aren’t your thing😕
I have to say, when James tell "I don't like to do things" I feel so validated :)
I swear to god there's such a weird culture in the beauty community that like, we're obsessed with skincare/makeup/hair whatever, and spend so much money maintaining it, but then don't wanna go anywhere or have anyone see us 😂😂 We're just gonna be fine as hell sitting on our couches eating delivery lmao
EXACTLY!! 💯
Bc we do it for our future selves who'd otherwise wanna kill us for letting ourselves go 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️
“I don’t know what I’m saying I’m so tired” is a mood.
The Byoma cleansing balm is so good! It lasts a really long time (the pot is surprisingly deep) and the packaging is refillable, so you can replace the insert without buying the whole box 👍
I love refillable packaging! The Glow Recipe Plum moisturizer has refill pods and I love buying those, they're so easy to recycle🙌
Also, idk where you live, but Sephora recently started taking in empties! I had a ton of them that I brought in and the employee said that they have a box at every store now. You just have to bring them in clean and without pumps (I think, I know the place I recycled them before didn't take pumps, I think sephora asked the same) and they'll recycle them! 🙌
Thats amzing! for sure gonna be the next cleansing balm i use
Love byoma too!
I saw the package today and was a bit judgmental of the extra plastic. I’m glad to know it’s more than it appears and that it’s refillable!
But it's only 60g? Most cleansing balm are at least 100g !!!!
Em cosmetics…cult?! Tell us MORE! In a beauty turns ugly video?!
yeah! never heard of this before…i want to knoooowwww
Founder got involved in what seemed to be a cult in the making

Yes this is my first hearing this and he just left us hanging 🦥

"Because I don't like to do things" resonates with me so much 😆🖤
I have tried several cleansing balms and the Byoma one is by far my favourite. I have really dry skin and recently started using their facial oil at night, and that is lovely as well.
They are overall such an amazing brand!
I have super dry skin and I love their facial spray, hydrating serum and both moisturizers! The only product I havent loved from them is the cleansing oil, it just didnt get my mascara off. But everything else I've tried from them I've really liked! And I like that it's more on the affordable side (imo) but they're all just really nice products. 🙌
Yesss!! Agreed!! & the facial mist is 100% top notch ❤❤ 1 of my faves & I have quite a few;) toners/facial mists that are my "ride or die!"
I have just bought the mist and really enjoying it so far!
I love the BYOMA ingredients lists, I can’t even explain why so much I just love that they include what the ingredient does.
You are too funny!! Yeah, you sound froggy and look a teeny bit blanched, but the show must go on, and the way you speak off-the-cuff is very endearing. No snobbery and your honesty is refreshing, especially in a galaxy of imitation, fake, ill-informed, stuffy influencers. That's why I like and watch you--you're genuine. Give yourself a break. Just heard the CULT word--perfect example of your supremely candid humor!!
Aw thank you 😅
Thank you for being honest about the medicube. I was literally about to be affected by so many only good reviews I've seen over the months and I was feeling weird nobody talk any negative about the product. You definitely earned my trust.
As a side note, i just discovered your and your brother's podcasts. They are a very entertaining alternative to screen time
I’m so excited to hear you talk about Slurp! I’ve been eyeing them but between half their line constantly being out of stock and having never heard of them-I haven’t taken the leap. Always appreciate your insight!
personally i have a completely different experience with the medicube boost-r! I have dry AND dehydrated skin and i was struggling with hydration and products penetrating my skin in the first place, and also feeling hydrated all day. In the winter after a couple hours i would feel dry again. This device helped me so much and when I don’t use it I can actually tell the difference
There’s a hello kitty essence that is by crème shop that is basically the same exact thing but smells lightly of strawberry milk and contains ceramides, cica , etc. I don’t see wasting my money on Mrs. Beibers essence . This milky toner by crème shop calms , soothes, gives glass skin and is a thicker milky essence. Exactly everything you described . I love to use it in the morning and if my trentinion irritates my skin. It soothes immediately .
You had me at hello kitty and strawberries ❤
Everything you said during Sunshine and Glitter x Crayola cracked me up today. Solid gold
"Jazz berry Jam!?"
"The strawberry is starting to smell like bread"
"Cuz i don't like to do...things"
And what business does Crayola have making a sunscreen????
Oh its JAZZberry? I thought YASberry
"I do just wish she wasn't in a cult" 😂😭😂😭😂😭
😩😩😩
@@JamesWelsh I didn't even know she was until you said that so I've thrown myself into the rabbit hole 🐰
When James said that I was like wut 😳
@@shuppet88 I know right, to the point where I popped out of the video for a sec to Google it 😂😂
Ok guys, I'll admit I was only half listening while doing the dishes. Who was he talking about?
it's funny that you say you missed your rosacea when it was 'gone' bc every time I do my make up, I cover my rosacea up and then always end up putting a red/orange blush in the exact spots I have redness. idk why, but despite wanting to cover it up, I usually just end up toning it down if anything. I feel like my face doesn't look like me if I don't have a bit of red on my cheeks and chin
Yeah that’s exactly it. I feel like I don’t look like me. I was thinking the other day….should I just wear blush and enhance my redness? 😅
@@JamesWelsh yeah!!! I recommend Hourglass ambient lighting blush in At Night. it's a soft, pretty red that you can build up and it's glowy but not highlightery? it's my go to blush
Can you please tell us which cream you used which treated rosacea ? Thank you!
I love this honest review! I was curious about Medicube because it keeps appearing in my feed and really want to try it due to positive reviews and I’m glad I came across to your video. Thank you!
Thankyou so much James for another awesome upload 🎉🎉🎉
You always get it right on point
❤❤❤
Is it just me who loves his little "evil laughs"? 😄💞
Welcome home, James. Great to have a new video from you today.
I’ve been eyeing on Booster H but cannot find the research to back it up. The website doesn’t even what kind of modality it used. You are right, the products are meant to be applied with our hands just fine. Thank you for talking me out of it and saving money!
if you have dry skin you could give it a try since they have a huge sale going on the devices now, it especially helps for dry skin since they struggle the most with the benefits listed by the products, but if you have textured/oily skin and want a different set of benefits you should try the white device. BUT if whatever you're doing now is working just fine for you and you were looking to add these as an emergency product not necessarily to just spend your money then there's no need, just keep doing what you're doing. If you're curious and don't mind the extra devices I think they're worth a try, but they have two different products for two different purposes. Also as an oily skin person you aren't struggling to boost product penetration like a dry skinned person with a damaged skin barrier would have, which is why some don't notice much of a difference because they're skin barrier is working fine. The white device (skin shot) is good for texture, pores and hyperpigmentation btw if that was your main concern. sorry that was a lot 😅
Chrome nails? That is honestly one of my favorite looks! Gorgeous💅✨
I love the whole byoma line, it's the only brand that works with my tretinoin routines. Love their cleanser, eye cream, and hydrating serum!
I just bought that cleansing balm so i'm so pleased to see you like it! I've tried a few out that I haven't liked recently.
That crayola spf gave such a nice glow ✨ maybe IrL it looks glittery but on camera just looks like LIFE!
Just listened to the recent Q&A episode of your podcast and loved it. You and your brother talking make me so happy. 😊you both are so funny
I love the byoma milky oil cleanser because it doesn’t break me out. I have very reactive skin and a lot of oil cleansers have broken me out. Smells like olive oil!
I just need to appreciate James divine nailssss 💗💗💗
i LOVE the byoma gel cleanser so i’m excited to try the balm!
Crayola came out with an SPF? (So exciting!!!) I guess it's a brand collab. I see it misspelled so I went to Amazon & Walmart’s websites to confirm. I have not heard of the brand Sunshine & Glitter, but I am down with this Lisa Frank vibe packaging. I don't see any links in the description. I do try to remember to use codes that are beneficial to creators, but it's not always successful when I go into an app.
Thanks for sharing some fun SPF!
I’ve been on mirvaso too at one point, and totally empathise with the looking dead! Foundation + blusher is always essential for me
Slurp products are so good, I’ve been using them for years. Thank you for sharing more products that we can actually get in the UK
You k!ll me😂😂😂 ending w/the glitter and not liking to do "outdoor thingssss" was hysterical!
I was Waiting for this for WEEKS!!!!! Thank you
Agree the rhode essence is the best of their line! I also love the way it smells even though it’s fragrance free.
After their first launch I thought nothing would stand out again but this glazing milk really shines😍😍
Does it smell of coconut. Please can you describe the smell?
I was really eying that medicube device, so thank you for your honesty!!!
Ive been looking for a real review of medicube so much I got so excited that you posted and I just skipped to that part. How about the other one for pores? If you ever try please let me know ❤
I hope y'all enjoyed America! I must say, you look pretty good for being jetlagged! 💜
I think it's worth pointing out that if you are using products that have evidence to back their efficacy (e.g. retinoids, salicylic acid, ascorbic acid, etc.) then using something to enhance the penetration is unnecessary. These ingredients have proven their ability to provide benefits without an extra machine to make them work. While getting ingredients to penetrate the skin is a well-known obstacle in getting things to work, that's what cosmetic chemists are for!
In addition, if you enhance the penetration of a product that has been tested without that machine, then you can end up with major irritation.
put on this video as i started my first cleanse which was coincidentally the byoma melting bam cleanser 😂 - love it so much!
Before buying this Age-R device on BF Sale luckily i watched this video. You saved me by giving your honest feedback about the product...thank you😍😍
Hi James, love your videos!
The medicube device uses electroporation technology (short high-voltage pulses) to enhance permeability of your skin products. The device vibrate slightly with each pulse.
I have also experienced sensitivity (red bumps) using this device on higher settings. With some adjustments, I have seen my skin care working better. It’s a great product, don’t underestimate the levels!
Hope you reap the results!
Does it cause facial fat loss?
LA looked like so much fun but the entire week I was thinking ‘fuckkk James & Robert are socialising so much’ 😂 I would be bloody exhausted too haha! Appreciate the dedication - hope you’ve caught up with sleep now 😂❤
I know this isn’t your usual thing, but I would really love to hear your opinion on the HyperReal skincare from MAC. The ingredients look good, but I would love to get your take on it, if it is something you would ever consider trying.😁
Love your content and your personality. Watching your videos is always so fun and entertaining!🫶🏼
I’m interested too however I feel the price point in the uk is too much for it to make it worthwhile to try.
Oooo usually skip foundation/complexion products altogether cause i hate looking dead, but that stable dewy glow in a bottle with the cushion compacttttt game over thank you ps i love you
OMG I'm so late. Forgive me 😵💫 I heard on another review about the smell of Byoma cleansing balm, not sure about it. I just ordered the new Banila one w ceramides in the beige pot. Hope you get some big sleeps! Your expression for the 'I do wish she wasn't in a cult' killed me! Seconded
slurp hydromer is the weirdest texture but i absolutely love it and my skin has never looked better
the rhode glazing milk is amazinggg i love the glow n hydration I physically feel on my skin
I was dying when you were talking about the crayons sunscreen. Honestly I’d be a little afraid the strawberry jam sunscreen would attract bees because of the sweet smell!!
I'm glad you liked BYOMA because I'm obsessed with the brand especially for the price
Love these videos! Would love to know the cost of things you try. I mean a 'fairly good' toner would also have to make my breakfast at £29! 😂
i think it's better to use medicube booster with medicube serums.. from what i read, the booster helps collagen products penetrate our skin.. so i dont think it's good for active ingredients.. i use medicube collagen serums and it works really well
do you think we could get a more in depth vid about devices? i feel like there are so many and i'm not sure what is reputable/good vs gimmicky. would love to buy one for my mum ❤
The glazing milk is probably in my top 3 toner/essences that I’ve tried my top spot still goes to the dr cericule one
Thank you for the video 💛. I love your nails ☺️..what color is it please?
I love the Anton’s melting balm cleanser! It takes off all of my makeup and doesn’t bother my sensitive skin!! I always recommend this to anyone!
'excuse my appearance' while actually looking great!! (but also if you're tired - rest! people can wait for a video!)
🥹💜💜💜
😂 you won't see me at a music festival either, I love my home - it's where my dog's are❤
Hope you enjoying LA, thanks for the new video 💜
Thanks for video, started to use Byoma products & have to say pretty impressive & super priced so win win 👏
The amount of glitter on James's face was hilarious at the end 😂
What milky toners from K beauty for the rhode glazing milk? Was looking to see if you had added the alternatives in the description thank you!
I SO understand your rosacea troubles, but would you mind sharing what cream you used that got rid of your rosacea? I wanna try it as well, even if it's gonna make me look dead 😅😅
yes! please!
I would LOVE for you to review the Lisa Eldridge skincare; the cleanser/mask and the mist. They sound amazing but are quite pricey so would to hear your opinion on them
Same!
I never comment.. I am a subscriber..love all of your videos. Hope you enjoyed your trip to the USA. Vacation or business? You are right, you look really tired. I appreciate the fact that as tired you are you did a video. Thank you! I am from the USA, lower Alabama at the Gulf Coast. Thanks again.
Aw thanks! I really had the best time! Paying for it now though 😅
Thank you reviewing the Rhode glazing milk. I bought a bottle and am loving it. It works wonders on my dry skin. ❤
Does it smell of coconut?
@@michellenye3742 it's fragrance free.
I was just going to buy that Medicube Booster thingie! Been thinking of getting the Air Shot instead since it seems like it does more (the whole microneedling without the needle bit).
So I have their EMS product. It works.And I have a friend that has a CZcams channel and reviews products. She highly recommended the userra deep shoot. It's works deeper but costs more.
I have all 4. The booster one is probably the least important but nevertheless the rest of the devices DO work!! I noticed with texture, pore size, my jaw/jowl area has the biggest improvement.
I use the booster and I believe it makes my products work faster.
I borrowed the Booster-H from my friend for a week and it really helped with my eczema around my nose/mouth. After returning it to her it came back so I actually had to buy one for myself 😂
@@wondernobody 😂
The first product that I tried from Byoma was their creamy jelly cleanser and my skin burned after using it and turned bright red, I dont have that with any other cleanser and I've used some very stripping cleansers, I dont even know what ingredient is causing that reaction.
Though I love their gel cream moisturiser for my oily skin.
I'm yet to open up the Byoma balm and I feel the same way about their packaging. Have you tried their cleansing oil?
dang they really have a cleansing empire it seems lol- never even heard of this brand before the vid lol. Do u use any other products they have??
i've been using their creamy jelly cleanser and it's been (just) fine. I have combination and sensitive skin and it is not too drying, and when i had my eczema flare up I could still use it normally
I literally have the Medicube device in cart and was psyching myself into it. You just saved me. 😆
Might as well get the pore micro needle device. I have all 4 but the other devices are truly worth the $
@@ThomasSidwhich the best for pore?
I love your honesty 😂💜👏 with NO, I'm not going to use it anymore! Luxurious waste!🤣
byoma face wash broke me out SO BAD and now i’m scared to try the rest of their products
Definitely interested on which cream you used that did completely even out your rosacea! I wanna see if I feel more confident looking dead, instead of looking like I’ve just ran a marathon😂
I think he talked about it in his recent redness/rosacea video. If I remember correctly, he said it made his flairs worse after he stopped using it
thank you for the Medicube honesty!! ive been wanting it but can’t really afford it
Hi James. imo any skin care that smells menthol, minty or rosemary is a big yikes for me. Not familiar with all the brands, but I did an ingredient search on a heavy moisturizer for winter, by Byoma and the ingredients are all excellent, no irritants found.
Byoma does have that cool packaging.
James rocking a glitter beard, love it.
hey James! ✨
do you have access to Ziaja skincare? it’s a Polish brand, I would really like to know your opinion on them and if you ever heard of it ☘️
Byoma ingredients look great, but the hydrating and brightening serums, and the gel cream definitely made me break out. I really wanted them to work for me as I love the textures and the way they made my skin look. Other than the pimples 😅
I love the byoma gel cream I’m on my third bottle. I can find cheaper balms though!
Ooohhhhhhh new product video 🤩
“I don’t like to do things.” I can totally relate 🤣
Could you do a one brand review of versed, byoma, simple and elf. Or maybe make a complication of clips where you have reviewed their products in the past in different videos so that they are all together as often i am browing for products and want to know your thoughts so have to sift through videos to find the part you talk about that product, not to be a pain 😂. I just bought the simple hydrating gel cream and i have to say it is rather comparable to Inkey list omega cream and the versed dew point. They are my go to but ran out and could only pop into a boots pharmacy, they had very limited options so i gambled on the simple as there was literally nothing else, very happy, a great option if you are in a pinch and can only shop in a tesco or pharmacy. I picked my skin and have some dermatitis/ face dandruff or something on my chin i think due to a reaction to my tooth paste , it has calmed my skin down, helped with itching, not stung and added a nice soft plumpness back to my skin which is more than i hoped for.
Is the better alternative to the Rhode essence you mentioned the Aestura Theracne 365 Hydration Toner?
I reckon that medicube device won’t help much if you already have a skincare routine that works for you. It didn’t do much for me
Loved ur reviwe of age r 😃 thank u for saving my money. I was so confused.
Can you do a milky toner stand-off?? Thank you, love your content ❤
"Because I don't like to do.. things" same James, same
I’d just like….rather not you know?
That Medicube Booster-H I know works from when I first started using it because it made my tretinoin seem like a higher strength than it was. It's harder to tell with serums because they are cumulative in effect and probably you feel nothing as a result of their penetration. But with tretinoin you feel the effects immediately, so using the device clearly 'boosts' those effects immediately. I had to stop using the device on Tretinoin nights until I was ready to go up to a higher level of Tret in general (from .025 to .05%). Now I use this regularly and won't bother going up to .1% Tret since I'm pretty sure I'm getting those effects with .05 by using this device, plus having my serums also work more effectively.
love your nail polish in this video
Are some of these only available in the UK? I haven’t heard of all of them. I will be Googling 😊
Thank you you are so funny when your tired 😅😂
Do you think you could have an updated video on skincare products that help with black heads and those annoying white bumps on the face/nose??? I need it assistance sometimes!
Hey. Yeahhhh sure! Will say straight away, Paula’s choice BHA for black heads and the ordinarys glycolic acid for white heads!
Im sorry james but im looking at you and thinking “babes please take a nap, you dont have to do this right now” LMAO love you
When you said about having to rub the little stacks of cleansing balm to make them actually melt I immediately thought of my Beauty of Joseon balm 🙈 I love it but uhhhh, yeahhhh. 🙈
I looooove the BoJ cleansing balm! It’s actually the first balm that I haven’t had to rub a long time to get it to melt!!
Don't get me wrong, I love it too! But I do have to really go at it to make it all melt!
Really related to the missing rosacea part, it's why I don't like how I look like when my dark eye circles are completely gone because my face just looks so weird.
Ooh just ran out of my cherry farmacy balm. This byoma will be my next.
I loooove my Fenty Skin milky toner i just had to get another bottle. I have super dry skin with eczema and i looove it. I use it on my face, but ill also use it on my eczema patches before putting my body butter over it, and my skin loves it😂
Hello. Good Afternoon James 💜 Happy Wednesday 💜
So that Age-R booster H vs. UFO by Foreo, how do they compare. When UFO was first released I initially gave it an eye roll (I’m into gadgets but less so when they have consumables or require refills [or a dermatologist deems it damaging]). For a while now, I’ve wanted to experiment with infusing serums, toners, essences into the skin with one of those. I try the patting technique, but there may be a chance my hands are being too aggressive. I do have a dermaflash skin spatula which is supposed to have an “infusion mode” if you flip it some way
I don't know about the device shown in the vid as I haven't used it, but the ufo from foreo is really cool. I've been using it for years now and I've used it with serums besides the little mask pads they also sell. And you can use it over sheet masks as well
