Came from the drama, stayed for the science
Umbrequil 😂😂😂😂 there’s a silver lining to everything
What drama? I'm so out of the loop
@@JasminMiettunen JH lipstick gate
Umbrequil oh right, this beauty community drama moves so fast it feels like that was years ago lol
Yeeeeees!!
Should I feel bad that I feel good that Jaclyn messed up which led me to discover your channel?
Same
Nope I’m the same 🤷🏽♀️
I know right. Thank goodness for the hairy lipsticks.
Same here, and no!
No but maybe that you didn’t put it to rest.....
This is the only women we should trust in the "beauty" community.
Jenessa dalan mood
True
FACTSSSS
Agreed
She has her own skin line and she mentioned releasing foundation soon!
I didn't realize how much I blindly trusted uneducated influencers to make decisions for me until I followed you
@manic hispanic it's more about the importance of a differing narrative than me switching trust from one side to another.
Before it was like I just followed the sheep without any thought that maybe these people didn't know what they were talking about. Now I'm exposed to more than one side. Not saying I follow Kenna over others, but that I realize that natural remedies can actually be harmful and I should look into new things more before trying them and take a look at PubMed
@manic hispanic exactly!!!
Haley Green I love pubmed 👍
@manic hispanic good point. It's always good to do some fact checking.
I'm lucky to have a degree in chemistry, so I know she's providing great information.
But, please everyone, always check the info.
@manic hispanic she does have a BA in biochemistry from University of Guelph and has worked as a biochemist researcher. I think I would trust her information and research a little more than Tati who is looking to make a profit and when Halo Beauty launched there was a scandal over the "clinical studies" data and images used on her site.
Yes queen you are giving us so much QUALITY CONTENT. I’ve been loving all these uploads
Savon right?! I haven’t been able to keep up! It’s awesome!
JLH exactly
This is the content I'm always looking for but can never find. That you kenna!! For giving it to us!
Ita 🙌
You're like the really informative and scientific beauty guru of youtube. Finally a true queen😂
Please review the Kiwi version too! P.S: Where is your top from? So pretty!
foo8lover she posted a picture on instagram! this is actually a dress from @boohoo on instgram
@@greenteaffany Thank you!
Yes I second this!
foo8lover kiwi is actually the same exact formula- just without the biotin
@@charlottefinn2215 Oh I didn't know!
I take Halo multi vitamin and Halo Hair Skin Nails and I can honestly tell a difference! I used to use Centrum Women’s Over 50 multi and a separate Biotin. The halo is better by far on me! Go figure.
Wendy Posten Same here! I was taking the exact same centrum50/Biotin and I was impressed with the results after a few weeks and blown away after a few months.
IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU CAN TALK ABOUT GEL NAILS OR NAILS IN GENERAL, ACETONE, ACRYLIC AND SUCH... I REALLY LIKE HOW THEY LOOK ON MY HANDS BUT I'M A BIT CONCERNED ABOUT SO MUCH DANGEROUS CHEMICALS CONSTANTLY BEING PUT ON MY HANDS. 😔🤗
I would be interested in this too!
Me too!
Same!! Someone mentioned that all those nail products contain micro plastics :(
Yess I would love to know more about nails :)
Put liquid latex around the nail then it won't affect the skin very much :))
I'd love to hear your thoughts on collagen supplements. I personally think they're a waste of money but I'm an anatomist, not a biochemist so I'd like to hear your input.
Great idea! Yes please! 🙏🏻
There have been clinical studies where taking oral supplementation of collagen can up regulate your bodies collagen production. I think it’s around 5 gram of supplementation needed per day for this effect
I’m interested in this as well!
@@emalita any specific source of collagen (ei: bovine, porcine etc)? Or this doesn't matter? thank you so much for taking the time to answer me sweetheart
Ive seen excellent results with jeuneora's Marine collagen, had soooo many new fly aways and my skin looked more plump and glowy 😊 So i really do believe it works!
Yes! I’m so excited for this video! I have a bachelors in biochemistry and molecular biology so I find your videos super fascinating!
Personally, this supplement is the only thing that cures my eczema and I’m so thankful for it. Great video!
Essentially Sammie: As someone who suffers from eczema (albeit, on the milder end of the spectrum), this sounds incredibly promising!!
I have mild eczema on my right hand. Would kiwi one work too?
you mean tati's supplement helped your eczema ?
Sadly eczema cannot be cured and can relapse despite this, so please be sure to keep an eye on your skin! I hope this continues working for a long time
She didn't go into the forms of vitamins and I was pretty disappointed. As a lay person who knows a bit about forms and cofactors manmade, synthetic vitamins often leave out...I was looking forward to this and cannot believe she promoted Centrum. :( I would caution that Glutathione is something you shouldn't take 365 bc your body makes its own. But it's like melatonin some people say a low dose is ok to use indefinitely. L Glutathione is probably the best form of it and maybe that is why they only put it 10 mg-to be able to take it long term without causing your body to become dependent and not make its own. (what is possible with long term use of melatonin) Sorry for my horrendous grammar, I have a baby on my knee.
Would you ever consider checking out Colourpop’s skin care line Fourth Ray?
I love it
Yes please!
Hi Kenna! I really enjoy your channel! Thank you so much for this break down. I’m actually a medical provider in the US and recently attended a lecture with a lipidologist and we discussed the dangers of ceramides and how they increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and promote endothelial injury- studies have shown that increased serum ceramides correlate with increased cardiovascular events. Just wanted to let you know! I truly enjoy your content!
I love this!!! I really appreciate how much thought go into your videos and how you truly just want to educate us about what is out there! I actually use Halo and the Body and Brain Booster and Ive noticed significant changes in my skin hair and nails and just overall feeling of wellness in my body and its really nice to know a biochemist with no ties to her has reviewed it. Thanks for all that you do we love you!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I take a multi vitamin and add in some phytoceramides that I picked up on Amazon for $9. Add in some other supplements and I’m still below the $40 that Tati charges. I found your channel during lipstickgate and I’m so glad I did. Keep up the great work! Thank you!
Halo isn’t meant to be a multi vitamin, also it’s an indie brand with extremely strict production standards and testing standards. There is zero regulation in the supplement market so you have to be really careful. The cheap ones may be great and what they say, they also may be filler and bs 🤷🏻♀️
@@baileymathis7209 Or you just don't take stuff you don't need really...
Yvaa M that’s a fair point
It’s raining quality content here ✨
Those with the ‘never skip the adds’ medal 🏅🙋🏻♀️ got you
Thank you, thank you, thank you Kenna! Your channel is so informative on so many levels, I can’t thank you enough for taking the time on making these videos for us. You rock!
I can tell how much research you do for your videos and it makes me so happy! Thank you for informing us!
I love love love love Kiwi!! I just ordered HSN because my wedding is coming up and I want to grow my hair out as fast as possible. But it has definitely made a HUGE difference in my face redness and acne!
That was an excellent, impartial review! Thank you!
I am so glad the lipstick drama went down because I LOVE your channel!! I was really hoping you would review Halo Beauty because your review is the only one I trust. (I don’t know how I missed these videos when they first went up but I found them)
Omg yass so soon!! I saw all the comments on your last video (+me too) requesting a halo beauty review. So excited to watch! 😍🤩🙌🏼 Thanks Kenna 💃🏼
I would have really liked seeing the word on the screen while you’re talking about each ingredient- thanks for the great video!
I had been waiting on a review for these. Was interested in buying them so I def jumped on this notification.
Love your channel and the content you provide us with. Informative and very well spoken ♥️
Keep it up
Your science babes are here for it ♥️
EMERALD ROSE 👏👏👏
Thanks for this review. Just subscribed and cannot wait for further content! Not a biochemist, but as an engineer, I really appreciate the deep dive into what we put in our bodies.
Your videos are low key the best in the makeup/skincare community. You need more exposure!
I am on month 4... I've never been happier with something I've bought. I've seen a big difference in my skin, fine lines and my hair feels (you can see) stronger. **Have to edit because I saw her IG!!🥑
Not her fault y’all can’t comprehend.
I’m guessing that these products are VERY SIMILAR and that’s why she used them in this BASELINE comparison.
And this is what I call quality content. Keep it up Kenna!💫❤
Randomly stumbled onto your channel and I have been LOVING your content . Definitely subscribed
I would love a breakdown explaining blackheads, how we get them, what we can possibly do to reduce them and how to manage/get rid of if possible. I have such problems with them and just don’t know what to do. There’s too much ‘information’ out there that I don’t know what to believe!
Please make a video of the vitamins you take! Thank you for all this great content. You are amazing!
Great, thorough review. Btw I just ordered my Altilis Beauty 3-pack! I can't wait to try your products and I am so happy to be supporting your brand 🤗
Seriously love your content! These are the kind of reviews I care about
I actually love the Kiwi one from Halo. It is the only vitamins I’ve tried that worked on me! I didn’t have random break out before but when I turned 22 my skin just went crazy and started to have acne that just don’t heal. Im really glad I found her brand.😊
I went from needing “a lifetime of accutane” (according to my dermatologist) to stopping - having a huge mess on my face. I took the plunge and I’ve been on HSN for six months, I’ve never had better skin in my life! I’ve combined this with Halo brain body booster. The quality of these supplements is superior by far and have changed my life!
Omg!! I’ve been eyeing Halo Beauty for awhile now, thank you for the video! XOXO
Keena please do a video all about anti- hair loss treatment. Caps, lotions & shampoos. What are the most important ingredients for such a problem? Love your videos, keep going!❤️
Kiwi formula review please! Loved this in depth look into the ingredients!
This was so interesting. I will say my hairdresser noticed a change in my hair when I started taking them. Thank you for taking time to do this.
First, let me say that I REALLY love what you're doing with your channel, Kenna!!! I'm learning so much about the things that I'm discovering are important in my life, especially as I get older. Now... That being said, I'm not trying to be a troll or give you flack about anything you've said in this video, but Tati does say in her videos that all of her vitamins/supplements are designed to be taken with her other HALO beauty products and knowing that she was planning to add more products to her line, she took the dosages into consideration so that people wouldn't be getting too much of one thing or another if they were taking more than one of her products at the same time. Not sure if that makes (or should make) any difference in your opinion, but I just thought I'd point it out. Keep up the excellent work you're doing! What you're offering is much needed in the community and was definitely lacking before you came along. I'm so glad that I found your channel!! 🌺
Love your context! I am a stylist and marketing chick, so I always over analyze details in videos. But, your background in this vid was great, gave off a professional vibe. Love that you were not in a hoodie! I live in them! But I feel like I wouldn’t come across as a reputable source promoting anything (other than adidas or puma wear!) in my athliesure wear. Not telling you what to do bc you’re the professional, but love that you looked so put together in this video, it made me take your info more seriously in a way. I know, I am always giving unsolicited advice! But love what you’re doing and wanted to give 2 cents! XO also- if I can suggest a video topic.. I love skincare and do a lot of research and buy a lot of products. There’s a lot of info out there on each product type, but there aren’t many videos or blog posts on how ppl incorporate a certain product into routine. For example, I do a 5-7 step routine, including AHA’s, BHA’s, HA’s, Retinoid, vitamin c, and peptides. I have planned all this out on a 7 day basis (same thing almost M, W, F; diff T,TH,SA) I rarely hear ppl talk about their regimen as a whole and how to appropriately place ingredients into skincare routine. Would LOVE to hear your opinion! XO 😘
I would love for you to review Pixi beauty's "skin treats" line! Specifically the glow products (glow mud mask, glow tonic, overnight glow serum, etc.) and the ones containing retinol or collagen (collagen and retinol serum, plump collagen boost, retinol tonic, etc.).
Maybe it could become a series on your channel? I know they have a lot of products, some on the relatively expensive side for target, and I know some don't work as well as others. Thanks
Love your videos! So informative I click so fast when you upload 😅❤️
You're amazing for bringing this kind of knowledge on CZcams .
ok what? i was literally thinking on your previous video that you should do a review on halo beauty and here you are!!
I had extreme hair loss after breastfeeding, made me really sad so that made my psoriasis act up pretty bad ☹️ I was drinking multivitamins but nothing really helped and I finally got Halo vitamins and in 2 weeks time my hair stopped falling and my skin got better, I stoped drinking them a log time ago but the effects continued for about a month, now that I see this review I will repurchase, still have my bottle and I'm happy I can refill it now that Tati came out with refill bags.
Thank you! Love this video! Could you share what brand you use of the two products you mentioned, the 350mg photoceramides and astaxanthin
Amazing video!!! I’ll be majoring in biochem in a year and you inspire me so so much!
thanks so much for all the content recently. i’m learning a ton!
can you review florence by mills? maybe just go over the ingredients if you dont wanna buy? because i really want to use them but im not sure if its safe
isabel garcia it’s got a ton of essential oils so I would say no
Just wanted to say CZcams is great for info about this stuff but if you're worried about safety or drug interactions, your doctor would be the best person to ask
@@emilyfrahm4118 your pharmacist would be, doctors arent all that educated in drug interactions
It would be safe technically as they need to pass certain tests by law before a product is sold. If you take any medication or have acne, dermatitis etc I would check with either a pharmacist or your dermatologist first. From what I've seen in the reviews it is basic natural makeup geared towards teens and young adults, if you like full coverage or don't like cream formulas it might not be for you. Hope this helps!
Crap products.
Can you do the Kiwi vitamin she has since it’s more skin based?
twistedlogiclistener I believe it’s actually the same formula just without the biotin since some people were concerned about the high amount
@@charlottefinn2215 No, the inci list is different.
@@charlottefinn2215 yeah theres more differences in ingredients than just the biotin
I love these video!!! All the science is awesome. Fact and not opinion and conjecture. It’s refreshing.
I have been taking Halo for 9 months. I am 43 and I love this stuff. My skin is clearer, no new lines, hair thicker (hair is no longer thinner at hair line)and longer and I am happy with them. It works for me so I keep buying....🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Thank you so much for doing this! I’ve been waiting for this! 💕
What specific vitamins do you take?? I want to buy them!!!
Same!
Same
me too!
Agreed!!!
Sammi Strade yes me too 😬
Whenever I see your uploads, I automatically hit “like” at the beginning of it. I just know it’s going to be good. 😹😍💁🏼♀️
So helpful! Tati's very good at persuading me to buy her vitamins, but I've always wanted to do some scientific research into the ingredients
I have been talking Halo for 6 months and it has changed my life.
Halo isn't a multi. It works with her multi. It would make more sense to compare with a hsn vitamin.
Candy Morgan thank you for saying that. I said the same thing!
Yes it’s not a one to one comparison. It’s meant to compliment a multi vitamin which is why there is less than the levels in a multi vitamin so you aren’t getting too much and just peeing it out.
I wrote the same thing! I’m really annoyed about this because up until this point I trusted her opinion, but comparing 2 completely different products just for the click bait has made me unsubscribe. Halo “Beauty” is exactly that, a beauty supplement NOT A MULTI VITAMIN!
It’s meant as a baseline not necessarily to compare. Just to see what you’re getting in the product
Thanks so much! Would you please review the HUM nutrition line, Specifically the Daily Cleanse?
You’re on fire at the moment! Loving all the awesome content 😊
Glad to see you gaining subscribers and views!
Can you do a video on eye skincare, more specifically eye wrinkles (under the eyes, Crow’s feet)?
Bri Sullivan Botox 😉
wait I'm confused did you compare the HSN halo to a normal multi vitamin? why not compare the halo multi to a normal multi?
I was thinking the same thing....or compare original Halo to another Hair, Skin, and Nails vitamin. Otherwise, she's not comparing equivalent items, so it's an invalid comparison.
Shannon Copeland Yeah I was just a bit confused I don’t mean it in a negative way I love Kenna and TATI but it just doesn’t seem to make much sense
She’s not comparing similar products because she wants people to know what a baseline is. If there are the same amounts of each vitamin then there is no difference in a daily multi vitamin and the halo product.
I thought this too
🥑 I love that you speak the science. I believe there is power in knowledge and knowing ingredients. You deliver the information in such a way that is absorbable by the average consumer. 🥑 proud to be a part of the #sciencebabes
Thank you for all the information. I like the way you explain everything. I would love some recommendations on what to take or use for hyperpigmentation.
Can you review Fourth Ray (serums and face milks) and/or First Aid Beauty (masks)
Yes, love to hear your thoughts on the ingredients in the face milks
Could u link the vitamins for hair and skin you use please?
Awesome content and very nicely delivered ! You’re such a class act and so brilliant! Thanks !!!!
Looking at you makes me want to develope good habits like eating my greens and drinking more water. Love your vibe!
I’m confused so you are comparing a hair skin and nails booster to a traditional multivitamin?
Slarty Bartfast yes she is apparently
I think her point was to show that all those vitamins are found in multivitamins excluding the extracts
Multivitamins are the benchmark for supplements so it makes sense. After watching the video it also seems like you might go over your daily recommended allowance for a number of compounds if you take both, so I'm not sure if that would be such a great idea.
yes this review doesnt make sense halo vitamins are mostly to target “ beauty “ not over all health ... they are COMPLETEY two different vitamins so this review is pointless
It’s meant as a baseline not necessarily to compare.
I think why theres a lot of success with Halo is simply because people dont eat balanced meals. I wish she would have 50% daily dosage ones, so I wouldnt need to worry about over using vitamins. I own all of her vitamins, none have done anything major for me. Early days on the newest one tho. And Kiwi makes me jumpy, anxious? Not completely convinced they arent just over priced.
You mean like most vitamin brands ?
For the Halo vitamins, two pills need to be taken daily. So for a "50% daily dosage," maybe one pill daily would work. I agree that they're overpriced though
You shouldn't be taking kiwi and the original Halo together, even at 50%. The brain booster one you can take with either kiwi or original tho.
You might be overloading your system. I take kiwi right before bed and it puts me to sleep lol. If it's making you feel jumpy it might be because there's too much of everything else in your system
@@cmurra Thank you for the comment. I do alternate. Either one HSN and one multi. Or Kiwi and multi. But Ive stopped Kiwi all together and Im not jumpy. Does your multi also taste fishy? Like the capsule?
@@ursulak.2691 that's good you alternate, but yeah if kiwi makes you jumpy good move just stopping it. I've only taken kiwi, it doesn't taste fishy to me but it does have a strong taste, almost an earthy taste? It is not pleasant but I've been enjoying the effects on my skin so I put up with it
Kenna, THANK YOUUUU for all of your videos, love all the info im getting, i feel educated after watching you :)
You were holding Tru Niagen in the thumbnail and I am WAY MORE INTERESTED in that!!! It's expensive so I'm on the fence about ordering but I've been looking into the science about NR/NMN and the effect that NAD has in regards to extending longevity and anti-aging, and it seems really promising. Would LOVE to hear your opinions on NR as well as other life extension/anti aging supplements like resveratrol and CoQ10!
Can you recommend supplement brands? I'm sure some are much better than others, correct?
I tried the original HSN vitamins from Halo Beauty and I was happy with the results- but I don’t think it was particularly different than most other vitamins. I certainly liked the fact I saw results so “quickly” doing the treatment- but I don’t think I’d mind waiting longer to see results to really circumvent the cost.
Thanks Kenna. Always serving up the great content. Can you review the Halo Kiwi formulation?
Thank you so much for reviewing this product!!
Can you link the specific supplements you take?
What brands do you use for your ceramides and astaxanthin?
SmittenKitten check out Dr. Dray’s channel; she’s a dermatologist. She always recommends CeraVe for ceramides, moisturizer and sunscreen, amongs lots of other products. She’s the only one I trust
Liliana MG I think they’re asking for oral supplements, but Dr. Drey is great.
@@rosieweaselby Yes, I was, but really appreciate the replies!!
@@hollygrail2964 Thanks so much! I'm currently using Dr. Jart for ceramide creams, but CeraVe is probably less expensive. I'll check her out!
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! PLEASE KEEP US PROPERLY INFORMED!
I would love to hear your opinion about the Halo multi for women!! ♥️
Can you do a video about your skincare line???
Im so glad we get to see your beautiful face everyday! 😍 Loving your content! Can you please do a drugstore skincare products review that you would use in a daily routine.
Thank you for doing a video about this. It’s super important to talk to your doctor about possible drug interactions. On the whole, it seems like it’s overpriced for what you get. A multi plus some other things you want to target (like the ingredients specifically for hair and skin, also calcium/magnesium is important) seems like a better choice.💙💙💙
Can you review The Body Shop skincare please? xx
Hey love! Can you please review
The Ordinary products?
I'd love to hear your opinion on their products.
I think she did a video not too long ago about them, maybe a few weeks ago?
She already did.
I’m so glad you covered the safety around taking supplements . I don’t think everyone appreciates that you can actually overdose -they think if it’s natural/non prescription it must be safe in ANY dose. I have experience of nursing someone who wrecked their liver by overdosing on supplements, taking several different combined at the same time along with individual supplements . I think it’s also not common knowledge that some compounds will increase or decrease the efficacy of other compounds . In some ways it’s safer therefore for the lay person to take a researched supplement like cetrium as the science is done for you!
love how you're gorgeous but it's mostly natural :) super refreshing. Also, loving the colours of your top :) ALSO, I'm studying biochem and then I found you and you're honestly motivation/inspiration that contributes to my passion for it :) just so you know, appreciate the time you put into your channel
What are your thoughts on non-foaming cream cleansers vs foam cleansers?? Is one more effective or better for skin??
Kristie McCloud Watch La Beautyologist
@@brooklyntiara Instant sub. Thanks for the awesome recommendation!!
I notice foaming cleansers are a lot more drying
@@XxdextriousxX that's because they use a detergent. Non foaming is the best type of cleansers for dry skin
@@XxdextriousxX Same but for me, my face doesnt feel as clean using a non foam cream cleanser.
I couldn't care less about buying Halo...I'm just here because you actually challenge my brain. That's reason enough.
Probably one of my favorite CZcams channels
Thank you for your opinion Kenna. I was gonna buy it but I think you made up my mind for me..
I study Nutrition and I definetively not recommend taking any supplements except in the case of deficiency because the synthetic vitamin will probably inhibit the absorption of the vitamins that come from foods, which is the best vitamins and minerals resource
I had NO idea of the drug reactions with saw palmetto. I know halo always states to talk with your doctor. But how many people actually do?
When this vitamin was released there was a lot of talk all over social media about the fact that saw palmetto can, and does interact with birth control, tati claims it "won't get you pregnant" ...which is a pretty big leap considering there is a warning on the label of saw palmetto - from the drugstore, which indicates differently. I would be going with what a pharmacist says.
I love this !!! Hope this will become a series
im so glad that i found your channel, i kinda feel smarter thanks to you. and now i know what i wanna look for in supplements
Can you do a video on dimethicone?
