I almost bought The Drunk Elephant Polypeptide Cream last night thank god I waited. Your channel is so informative on skincare. Thank you for clarifying what certain ingredients are useful for and what products don’t go together. I tried remembering what products you said were best for PM vs AM routine, and I couldn’t, but now I’m subscribed!!
Tirena Wiles same! I was gearing up to buy Protini too. I just found out that DE packaging isn’t recyclable so I didn’t want to pull the trigger. So glad I don’t have to. 👍🏼
If you have dry skin, definitely Acure cream can works. I have combo skin, more to the oily side and I breakout so badly when use the Acure. In addition, the texture is very different. Protini has a gel-like texture that acne prone or combo/oily skin appreciates. My recommendation is to try both and have if you can deal with the Acure one you will be so lucky. I prefer the Protini by far. It’s one of the few products that I pay for it without any hesitation. Good luck with Acure!
Wanda Calcaño I cant use the Acure, I spotted that it has coconut oil. 😔 I was getting ready to splurge for a couple DE products and realized their packaging isn’t recyclable. So, I’ll go back to using my old peptides.
It's never smart to go by the reviews of a single person-she's also not a scientist or a doctor. There are a great many reputable doctors and websites that highly recommend Drunken Elephant based on the science and not anecdotal evidence. The first site that comes to mind bases it's reviews on science-the ingredients in the produce vs people's opinions. It's called beaupedia.com
Christina McKenna it’s called Drunk Elephant and beautypedia.com Also, beautypedia.com is very biased. We’re all very well versed on skincare and ingredients. This video was a dupes video. That is a video to tell people about products that are nearly identical, but much more affordable.
As a new subscriber, I’m now petrified to buy anything you haven’t approved! Ha! I’m scrutinizing every skin care product I own. Thank you for your expertise, and these dupe/buy this videos are SO helpful. Many thanks!!
I love how you breakdown the ingredients, and give the purpose of each, how they work, and work together. Thanks for giving us the less expensive and sometimes better alternatives. You are awesome! And so motivating! I am not liking hydroquinone, it is very irritating for me but the tranax ingredients have it all, so this will be my next purchase for the hyperpigmentation. I love the laniege products! Good find on the dupes! I feel the same way about the lip sleeping mask, it feels like it did nothing after I take it off. The petrolatum in the dupe probably helps make the lips feel more hydrated after it is removed. Question: have you found a good dupe for la mer products? I will be searching your past videos to see if you have addressed this! Also, is there any sunscreen product that absolutely does not pill? I dont like the tinted sunscreens, they look horrible with my oily skin, the white cast of other products seem to make me look better, I have very very light skin and dark hair - I always end up having to get the lightest foundations, concealers and powders or i look ridiculous! As far as under eye puffiness, the small nuface device really takes care of that - but it must be used every day. I dont mind because it works! ELF, NYX and Pixi products are a wonderful, inexpensive and effective alternative to most anything out there! So easy to find, and they dont break the bank!
I think it will be hard to find good dupe for la mer because they basically use their own ingredient that they have based whole brand on. And I think they have patent on it, not sure.

Use it for eye area and lines around the mouth. I would say if money is an issue, get the smaller one, but if you can get the big nuface, go for it if you can soon the time every day being consistent. Let me know how it goes. There are a few youtubers who show how they use it - I think Penny has a video, and if not, check out youtuber HotandFlashy, I think she might have used it, too.
Bell hitter here! I LOVE your videos. You are my fav skincare guru for sure. Just did a side by side on DE TLC Sukari baby facial vs. The Ordinary AHA/BHA Peeling mask. No difference! $80 vs $8? No brainer!
Thank you so much for this video! I really needed a dupe for the EltaMD sunscreen because it is pricey! May I suggest a video explaining a good skincare routine to have because I feel like there are so many products out there that I don't know how to use them together or if they have any interactions, etc. It will be super helpful! xoxoxo
I love these videos too. Like others I would like an example am PM routine for uneven skin tone and wrinkles. I've bought several suggestions but am not sure sometimes what to put together. Thanks!
ooooh, i can't wait, let me email my girlfriend and advise her to also stay tuned. i always forward her these clips and then we spend our time chatting about them. Best part of my day....
so good to watch a you-tuber who is wise with her spending - tired of watching gurus with multiples of high end products in same color - so wasteful - so Penn's desire to be as wise as possible with all products is refreshing!
You are AMAZ-BALLZ!! For continously doing all this research for us! Extremely happy I found your videos(I also just tapped the bell although I've been following you for about a month..oopsy!). Anyways I LOVE the Drunk Elephant Proteini and was just about to purchase the full size after having 2 rounds of the free sample size. Thank you for saving my wallet. I really hope I like this alternative! Keep up the good work chica!😚
I hope you like the Acure! It is thicker-so that’s definitely different from the protini. The protini is silkier in application. But those ingredients.....nearly the same!! Let us know what you think! The way I see it, it’s an inexpensive risk to try out! 💜
I enjoyed this video. I have fair skin with rosacea and have tried so many sunscreens over the last 20 years and had just about given up. Until DRMTLGY. I tried the Broad Spectrum 45 about a month ago, and I am ecstatic! It is so nourishing and hydrating, I would use it as a moisturizer regardless of the SPF! I may try the tinted at some point, but tints usually don’t work on my skin tone. Because of a discount code and free shipping, I placed an order for two more tonight. Outstanding product.
Do you have any side effect of nausea or dizziness of using Tranexamic acid? I am afraid that this product is made in China. I just bought 2 bottles and would like to see the result like you.
Hi Penny, I bought the Deerskin about a month ago because of your recommendation and I am loving it! I have been battling hyperpigmentation for years and you are absolutely correct, slow and steady is the process. This serum has made a significant difference in the brightness of my skin. Even better that the high end products I was desperately trying. I think your series “Try This, Not That” is incredible. I can’t thank you enough for sharing affordable skin care options with your audience. I started watching you when you had just over a thousand subscribers and I’m not surprised that you have grown so quickly! You are fantastic! ✨❤️✨ I am loving you and your channel from the west coast of Canada! 🍁
🤩 OMG 🤩 Where have you been all my life!!!?!!! I just found your page and You Have Helped Me So Much! A BIG HUGE THANK YOU! So Completely Stunning You Are! ♥️
You are the best! I've been interested in skincare for ages (struggled with adult acne and oily, congested skin from the age of 22 until now, still, at 62; obviously have had concerns about anti-aging skincare since my 40's) and have enjoyed several CZcamsrs over the last few years. But, you are by far the most informative. You're a natural teacher (I taught for 38 years, so I can appreciate when someone has that gift for explaining clearly and in an interesting manner) and you're command of the information is truly impressive.
Only 19% rang the bell??? Holy smokes! Penny puts her heart and soul, not to mention a TON of time, into her awesome content. Her research and extensive knowledge are bar none! Ring the dang bell and smash the like button for her, please?
I believe ringing the bell only means you get an e-mail to notify of a new video. I did ring the bell and I get the e-mails from the hoards of youtubers I subscribe to. I never look at the e-mails as I come to youtube every day and go down my list to see who has new videos. So just because they might not have rung the bell (maybe they don't want their mailbox full of the notifications) doesn't mean they might not come here every day like I do and check to see who has something new to see :)
@@peachy75019 I completely get it. Just trying to help out her analytics and have her videos suggested to more people who may not already sub. A lot of people may not be aware that YT cares about those numbers. 😉
Oh my gosh you are amazing! I tapped the bell! I can't miss any of your videos. This is exactly the information I have been trying to find but always with information overload and usually from uneducated sources. The fact that you are an esthetician tells me that I can trust what you say. I am an RN and I like science, facts and details from trusted resources. Thank you so much!!!
I would like to say huge "Thank you" for through, informative videos on skincare. I love how you show ingredients side-by-side, going one by one on key players. Well researched and communicated clearly. Thank you!
Really , really enjoyed this. I will definitely be trying some of the dupes here. Thank you so much. I am 65 and live on a fixed income. Still skin care is very important to me , so I’m always looking for dupes.
Another dupe I’ve found for the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask - (I’m so glad I found this - just wish I’d discovered it before I went thru 2 of them) is the Avene Cold Cream Lip Butter. It’s like $12 CA, and I’m obsessed . Never again will I purchase the Laneige , I love this stuff ❤️❤️❤️
I ordered the Dearskin Tranex after your last video giving it a try to lighten a few dark spots on my face. I love this series💗💗💗 Going to try more dups! Thanks Penny!!!
Hi all! During the premiere I was asked if the sunscreen had octinoxate and I said NO. It DOES have octinoxate, I apologize for the mistake! I can’t find the exact person who asked that so I’m posting this here so hopefully they’ll see and also give the info to everyone else 💜
Hi @penn.smith.skincarellc this is not really related to the video but I would like to ask you if I can nano niddle once a week and 0.5 once every 5 weeks? Thanks in advance
Hi Penn, i was just wondering if the tranex serum have a real 5% tranexamic acid. If not could you advice a product that have such a percentage. Also im looking for an alpha arbutin 5% too. Any advise? Thanks in advance 💋😘
These videos are pure gold...that we get to hold onto! You are just a wealth of knowledge. No one breaks down skincare the way you do. I feel truly fortunate to be one of your bell-tappers. Xo🥰🥰🥰
I just want to say I've been following you for a little while and everything that you say about products are really true. I bought a couple of products from Amazon that you have tried and they are amazing. I tell everybody about it because I'm all about skin care and all about getting rid of fine lines and wrinkles and you really helped me to change my life so I just want to thank you for that you have a blessed week and thank you so much.
Such great information, thank you for sharing! As a new skincare junkie I appreciate this video so much. I’m having a hard time finding places to purchase these other than Amazon and I do not trust amazon with either skincare or makeup products due to so many products being tested as fake. I like to buy directly from the company.
I would love you to talk about alternative products for pregnant women. For example, I love using retinol at night but it is not recommended for pregnant women in the same way with sunscreen. It would be great to watch a video soon. Many of us would appreciate it. I love your videos you are very objective in your videos and without criticizing one brand or another educates us to choose a good routine saving.
@joda I am a die hard Protini girl...how is the Acute under makeup? I'm SCARED to try anything else...when I have strayed in the past, I go right back to it.
I saw this video, I do not lie not once but 4 times, and until now I see that you have a great dupe for the protini that it’s my option for the la mer, so this just gets better! Thanks will buy the ACURE 😍❤️👌🏼
Follow up, I started following your channel 5 months ago I bought the Deer Skin serum, because I had dark spots and hyperpigmentation. The best product I’ve used for my skin in such a long time my dark spots, and old acne spots along my jaw line and check bones and neck were clear completely in 2-3 weeks with my skin complexion I didn’t think it was possible. Thank you for that recommendation!!
really appreciate these honest informative videos. We are so over marketed it's ridiculous. Wonderful to save our $$ and still take good care. of our skin. Thank you for all your hard diligent detective work.
What a great video! Love, love, love! New subscriber via Cate the Great beauty livestream. I’m so excited about the sunscreen - I love Elta md (my favorite) so I can’t wait to try the drmtlgy. Also the drunk elephant dupe will be rushing to get. Love this content. Thank you!
Hey Pen! Just FYI, I do have the notifications on but was not notified of your new video... I think the analytics are wrong and for me anyway there is something not working. Hope that helps! Thanks for all of the useful information. You are my absolute favorite person to watch!!
Just ran out of my EltaMD this morning. Really grateful to have an alternative that is even better for me with lighter tint, no pilling and less $$ as I buy that sunscreen not only for me but also for both my teen daughters! Yay!! Thank you.
I started noticing Elta MD pilling too. One that I love that sits well underneath makeup by them is SPF 40 I think but the second ingredient is petroleum, which shocked me. I don’t think I would have tried it had I known but my daughter bought me the wrong one and I like it better than the clear.
I love love love the Protini Cream... I have been unable to find anything like it. I am ordering the Acure - fingers crossed! The ingredients look wonderful. Thank you Penny, grateful for you!💜
I love these videos on products! I have allergies to many ingredients. Can't use drunk elephant and many more brands...your attention toward irritating ingredients is so valuable for someone like me! Thanks!
I loooooove you. I can’t even express how grateful i am to have found your channel. I am a student whose skin really likes expensive skincare but your videos are giving me hope.
I have tried both Protini and Accure. I cant speak to how each works best, but the Protini has a wonderful slip and application. Accure on the other hand is thick and on my dry skin applies like spreading tooth paste. I will certainly finish it and appreciate the heads up on good ingredients.
I am so glad you are do these segments. You are providing a lot of wonderful information that I am absolutely loving. Please continue finding products dupes and helping us save some money. Thank you so much!!!
Penny, you put out such excellent videos! I bet the overpriced skin care companies hate you, but we love that you do the research to find us products that do the trick without breaking the bank. I recently added The Inkey List Tranexamic Acid to my skin care routine as hypigmentation is the biggest enemy that I battle against. (I also use Vitamin C, Alpha Arbutin with Kojic Acid, Azelaic Acid, Niacinamide and Retinaldehyde) I am definitely going to look into the Dearskin Tranex when I run out of the Inkey List. FYI, you can get the 20g jars of the Laneige lip sleeping mask in 4 different flavors from Yesstyle for $14.32 which is where I got mine. They actually have a lot of the Asian skincare brands.
Good Morning! At the end of your video you asked us to tap the bell, well I did that a few months ago!! I have learned sooooooo much from you and I have my daughter watching you too. I just want you to know that a shout out from Graceful Beauty is how I found you. Getting ready to order some of the Good Molecules products you recently review. I also appreciate the copper peptide education videos you did. Needed to replenish my skin care routine so I am running through your product comparison videos. Thank you for helping us girls age more gracefully without breaking the bank!! However I will splurge a little if you are over the top about a product....like the copper peptides. Have a beautiful Sunday and Oregon is on my bucket list of states to visit!
I really appreciate you sharing affordable skincare options. It's so hard to find great products that are affordable but you do a great job breaking down the science behind the products. Thank you for this!
I didnt even watch the whole thing before I stopped and ordered the niacinamide and the night cream!! I use Sunprise sunscreen and really like it and so many lip products that I cant justify the lip product. I trust you so bought without even thinking about it!
I think you’re absolutely fantastic and I have purchased a few things you have recommended. I love how you explain things, break down the ingredients and take the time to do this. I’m 45 and definitely a little more educated because of your channel, so thank you so much. I live in the U.K. so many of the products I can’t find but I appreciate you 🥰 have a wonderful day xxx
I untapped the bell on all of my favorite YT. Personally, I do not like sorting through all that email. Of course, I still watch my favorites like you when you post. I recently purchased Squalene and it absolutely does not sink into my skin. I moved it from face to neck which seems to work. Never understood the Laneigh hype. I do have it but really do not think it does anything. I refuse to waste products so I am going through it but will not repurchase. Sometimes, we get caught up in the YT hype. Thanks for everything you research for us. 😎❤️💄 Kathy
Really looking forward to this one, especially the dupes for Laneige lip sleeping mask and Elta MD sunscreen. Thank you so much for all your hard work in bringing these knowledge our way. Lots of love from London
Love these videos where you suggest affordable alternatives. Just received my Dearskin Tranex Dear Serum today and can't wait to try! Thank you for all your hard work researching and putting it all together in a format that is fun and easy to comprehend!!
I found your channel today. That's when the clouds parted and the angels started singing. You are a GODSEND. Wow. So impressed with your knowledge and expertise. I have hypersensitive skin. I thought I knew a lot about skincare and boy was I wrong. I have been stalking your channel and binge watching your videos and I'm learning so much from you. I gave you a call today to hopefully set up an appointment for a consultation (either in person or by phone). I know you're swamped and likely don't have any openings, but I had to at least try! I hope to hear back from you, but if not, I'll try to make the best decisions I can based on your informational videos!
Honestly this series is so informative and just gives down right basic ingredient to ingredient comparisons!! Nothing beats cold hard facts and research. Thank you for putting in so much work and time. Definitely will try these out! :)
These videos are so good, filled with intelligent recommendations and proper ingredients comparisons. Thank you for not being like every other salesy youtuber. And I'm buying the Acure today!
OMG, you are in a class all your own! There is no other channel that compares product ingredients side by side, and lists the deck . I’ve become a more discriminating consumer, not influenced by high price or influencers . Thank you for all the work you put into your channel! What do u think of PCA gel hydroquinone-free?
Penny, this series is what had me on your channel and I am hooked since 2 days ago =) I have been looking for youtuber who focuses on ingredients rather than brand or hype for a long while and I found you! I thank you so much for all the work you put in. If you can please give us a lesson on what ingredients are not to be used together. Please also do more try this and not that. Love love love !!!
Thank you Vivian, I am so glad you’re here! I will definitely work on that video, such a great suggestion. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week! 💜
Super thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience to all us ladies all over the world 🤩 I'm going to follow you in this new year and I exited. Thanks for teaching me so much♀️ Best regards from Elisabeth, Norway
I initially used it twice a day but it was piling under makeup. Just use it at night now. After about a month I noticed a difference. Today at Sephora I was looking at some new foundations and really noticed my skin tone has evened out. It does work.
Good Molecules also just came out with under eye hydrogel patches! I got them early in the Trendmood beauty box. I’ve used them once so far and they are really nice with nice ingredients! $18 for 30 pairs.
Hi there beautiful so glad u said that about the protini. #Nobsbeauty Sarah turned me on to this a while back... U both are extremely knowledgeable in skin care products 🙌🙌🙌❤
Just ordered the Acure from Target with my discount and ordered the Tranex on Amazon. You are amazing! Can't believe how similar the ingredients deck is for the Acure and Drunk Elephant! That would be amazing if it could replace my Protini! I already have a backup jar of protini but wow, at the very least I could use the cheaper alternative to give my neck and chest some love! I got Inkey List tranexamic acid product but it’s 3%, I’m excited to probably get better results using this 5% with the other good ingredients as well! 🤩 🙌🏼✨
Very excited to try the Dermatology sunscreen. I find that every sunscreen I use pills up under my foundation. Elta, Paula's Choice and even Colorscience seem to be the worst for me even though I love the products.
Hi Penny! Thanks so much for your videos. You have quickly become my new favorite CZcamsr! Question: Do you have thoughts on the StackedSkincare EGF serum? I recently purchased the Dr. Pen and this EGF serum and wondering whether it is safe to needle in. Also, I bought the Cos De Baha HA you recommended, but now I’m hearing a lot of buzz about forthcoming studies suggesting that HA is bad for the skin long term because your skin becomes dependent on it and ceases to produce its own moisture, so I’m hesitant to use the HA when needling. Would love your take on this!
I am sooo happy to realize that I have the Acure cream, the Dear skin serum and the sunscreen that I love by the way. Both sunscreen and serum I bought under your recommendations. I love this series and I am so grateful Penny to you for sharing your knowledge. Thank you so much!

The 5% tranex serum saved my skin. It took 3 months but it’s cleared up all my hyperpigmentation. Thank you so much for that recommendation 😭
I can’t wait to get this one ! Thankyou so much
As a new subscriber, I’m now petrified to buy anything you haven’t approved! Ha! I’m scrutinizing every skin care product I own. Thank you for your expertise, and these dupe/buy this videos are SO helpful. Many thanks!!
Sabrina Crawford that’s great because so many products on the shelf are horrible for our face and cost way too much
I love how you breakdown the ingredients, and give the purpose of each, how they work, and work together. Thanks for giving us the less expensive and sometimes better alternatives. You are awesome! And so motivating!
I am not liking hydroquinone, it is very irritating for me but the tranax ingredients have it all, so this will be my next purchase for the hyperpigmentation. I love the laniege products!

ELF, NYX and Pixi products are a wonderful, inexpensive and effective alternative to most anything out there! So easy to find, and they dont break the bank!
Yes for la mer
I think it will be hard to find good dupe for la mer because they basically use their own ingredient that they have based whole brand on. And I think they have patent on it, not sure.
mamaboo cee which model of nuface you use for sagging eyes
@@Marniiita there are two you can use, one is the nuface that has interchangeable attachments - purchase separately or in one pack.
see pictures here with eye attachment: www.mynuface.com/products/nuface-trinity-ele-gift-set
the one attachment that looks like antenna (pictured) - that is the one that works for saggy eyes in the long term. The other "big ball" attachment will work (especiallyfor sagging jaw line), but may be too large for eye area.
and the other nuface tool see here:
www.mynuface.com/products/fix
is the little stand alone model that has like two stainless steel balls on the tip. It is small and portable. That one works so well, I could not believe it but the effect only lasts a day at most (6-8 hours). It is small enough to throw in your pocketbook for touch ups. Use it for eye area and lines around the mouth.
I would say if money is an issue, get the smaller one, but if you can get the big nuface, go for it if you can soon the time every day being consistent. Let me know how it goes. There are a few youtubers who show how they use it - I think Penny has a video, and if not, check out youtuber HotandFlashy, I think she might have used it, too.

I love these videos too. Like others I would like an example am PM routine for uneven skin tone and wrinkles. I've bought several suggestions but am not sure sometimes what to put together. Thanks!
ooooh, i can't wait, let me email my girlfriend and advise her to also stay tuned. i always forward her these clips and then we spend our time chatting about them. Best part of my day....
How cute that's what me and my mom do
I wish I had a best friend mother or anyone close to me that is into skin care like I am.
@pretty an young I’m here for you girl. I love chatting with anyone who loves skin care and is not afraid of trying different methods 😊
so good to watch a you-tuber who is wise with her spending - tired of watching gurus with multiples of high end products in same color - so wasteful - so Penn's desire to be as wise as possible with all products is refreshing!
You are AMAZ-BALLZ!! For continously doing all this research for us! Extremely happy I found your videos(I also just tapped the bell although I've been following you for about a month..oopsy!).
Anyways I LOVE the Drunk Elephant Proteini and was just about to purchase the full size after having 2 rounds of the free sample size. Thank you for saving my wallet. I really hope I like this alternative! Keep up the good work chica!😚
I hope you like the Acure! It is thicker-so that’s definitely different from the protini. The protini is silkier in application. But those ingredients.....nearly the same!!
Let us know what you think!
The way I see it, it’s an inexpensive risk to try out! 💜
I am so so looking forward to see your “ eye serum /eye cream or eye masks “ videos😜
I enjoyed this video. I have fair skin with rosacea and have tried so many sunscreens over the last 20 years and had just about given up. Until DRMTLGY. I tried the Broad Spectrum 45 about a month ago, and I am ecstatic! It is so nourishing and hydrating, I would use it as a moisturizer regardless of the SPF! I may try the tinted at some point, but tints usually don’t work on my skin tone. Because of a discount code and free shipping, I placed an order for two more tonight. Outstanding product.
That is so great! I’m so glad you found one that works for you!
I feel the same way about drmtlgy. So good!!
I love the Dear Skin Tranexamic Acid serum. My dark spots almost gone. Thank you for that recommendation!
I just bought the Acure whipped night cream and I love it.
Have you tried the sunscreen she recommended? I’m dark brown and need a mineral sunscreen
@@ldycop74 I have not tried the sunscreen. I am pretty loyal to my Black Girl Sunscreen. I try to stick with what works.
@@michelea2248 Ok, thank you. I’ve heard about that one, especially the kid’s spf 50. I think I’ll try it.
Do you have any side effect of nausea or dizziness of using Tranexamic acid? I am afraid that this product is made in China. I just bought 2 bottles and would like to see the result like you.
Hi Penny, I bought the Deerskin about a month ago because of your recommendation and I am loving it! I have been battling hyperpigmentation for years and you are absolutely correct, slow and steady is the process. This serum has made a significant difference in the brightness of my skin. Even better that the high end products I was desperately trying. I think your series “Try This, Not That” is incredible. I can’t thank you enough for sharing affordable skin care options with your audience. I started watching you when you had just over a thousand subscribers and I’m not surprised that you have grown so quickly! You are fantastic! ✨❤️✨ I am loving you and your channel from the west coast of Canada! 🍁
🤩 OMG 🤩 Where have you been all my life!!!?!!! I just found your page and You Have Helped Me So Much! A BIG HUGE THANK YOU! So Completely Stunning You Are! ♥️
You are the best! I've been interested in skincare for ages (struggled with adult acne and oily, congested skin from the age of 22 until now, still, at 62; obviously have had concerns about anti-aging skincare since my 40's) and have enjoyed several CZcamsrs over the last few years. But, you are by far the most informative. You're a natural teacher (I taught for 38 years, so I can appreciate when someone has that gift for explaining clearly and in an interesting manner) and you're command of the information is truly impressive.
your, not you're (I'm blaming autocorrect, but it might have been me)
Thank you so much Marcy! Wow! That is such a compliment coming from a teacher! That made my day! Thank you 🥰
I love you penny!!!!!!
My skin is 10 times better because of you!
Sharing your secrets is gold!
This is the nicest comment ever 🥹🥹
I’m so happy for you and thankful you’re here! ❤️
Only 19% rang the bell??? Holy smokes! Penny puts her heart and soul, not to mention a TON of time, into her awesome content. Her research and extensive knowledge are bar none! Ring the dang bell and smash the like button for her, please?
I believe ringing the bell only means you get an e-mail to notify of a new video. I did ring the bell and I get the e-mails from the hoards of youtubers I subscribe to. I never look at the e-mails as I come to youtube every day and go down my list to see who has new videos. So just because they might not have rung the bell (maybe they don't want their mailbox full of the notifications) doesn't mean they might not come here every day like I do and check to see who has something new to see :)
@@peachy75019 I completely get it. Just trying to help out her analytics and have her videos suggested to more people who may not already sub. A lot of people may not be aware that YT cares about those numbers. 😉
Oh my gosh you are amazing! I tapped the bell! I can't miss any of your videos. This is exactly the information I have been trying to find but always with information overload and usually from uneducated sources. The fact that you are an esthetician tells me that I can trust what you say. I am an RN and I like science, facts and details from trusted resources. Thank you so much!!!
You are a star! ✨❤️🌟thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your research and findings with us. 🌟
Thank you! So kind!
I appreciate you being here! So much! 💜
I would like to say huge "Thank you" for through, informative videos on skincare. I love how you show ingredients side-by-side, going one by one on key players. Well researched and communicated clearly. Thank you!
Really , really enjoyed this. I will definitely be trying some of the dupes here. Thank you so much. I am 65 and live on a fixed income. Still skin care is very important to me , so I’m always looking for dupes.
Another dupe I’ve found for the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask - (I’m so glad I found this - just wish I’d discovered it before I went thru 2 of them) is the Avene Cold Cream Lip Butter. It’s like $12 CA, and I’m obsessed .
Never again will I purchase the Laneige , I love this stuff ❤️❤️❤️
I ordered the Dearskin Tranex after your last video giving it a try to lighten a few dark spots on my face. I love this series💗💗💗 Going to try more dups! Thanks Penny!!!
Hello. Where did you purchase the Dearskin?
@@gabrielacortez4893 Amazon it's on Penny's favorite list.
@@yvonneadrian734 thanks so much!
I am glad I found ur channel...loved u at first site
Hi all! During the premiere I was asked if the sunscreen had octinoxate and I said NO. It DOES have octinoxate, I apologize for the mistake! I can’t find the exact person who asked that so I’m posting this here so hopefully they’ll see and also give the info to everyone else 💜
PENN.SMITH.SKINCARE LLC thanks for the follow up! I’m loving your content!
Such a great video Penny! You look amazing. Love the series. 😘
Hi @penn.smith.skincarellc this is not really related to the video but I would like to ask you if I can nano niddle once a week and 0.5 once every 5 weeks? Thanks in advance
Still has chemical sunscreen , no good
Hi Penn, i was just wondering if the tranex serum have a real 5% tranexamic acid. If not could you advice a product that have such a percentage. Also im looking for an alpha arbutin 5% too. Any advise? Thanks in advance 💋😘
These videos are pure gold...that we get to hold onto! You are just a wealth of knowledge. No one breaks down skincare the way you do. I feel truly fortunate to be one of your bell-tappers. Xo🥰🥰🥰
Thank you my friend! 💜
I just want to say I've been following you for a little while and everything that you say about products are really true. I bought a couple of products from Amazon that you have tried and they are amazing. I tell everybody about it because I'm all about skin care and all about getting rid of fine lines and wrinkles and you really helped me to change my life so I just want to thank you for that you have a blessed week and thank you so much.
Tina Pastrana Help! could you share which products you like for fine lines? 🙏🏻thank you Tina
Thank you for your Knowledge. I’m a hairstylist and you know we have to keep up our appearance 🤩🤩
Such great information, thank you for sharing! As a new skincare junkie I appreciate this video so much. I’m having a hard time finding places to purchase these other than Amazon and I do not trust amazon with either skincare or makeup products due to so many products being tested as fake. I like to buy directly from the company.
Totally get it!
You should always trust your instincts on where to buy:))
I’m glad you’re here! 💜
I would love you to talk about alternative products for pregnant women. For example, I love using retinol at night but it is not recommended for pregnant women in the same way with sunscreen. It would be great to watch a video soon. Many of us would appreciate it. I love your videos you are very objective in your videos and without criticizing one brand or another educates us to choose a good routine saving.
I was a die hard Drunk Elephant Protini user. I tried the Acure whipped cream and I’m in love! Thanks for the advice. My wallet and I thank you!
@joda I am a die hard Protini girl...how is the Acute under makeup? I'm SCARED to try anything else...when I have strayed in the past, I go right back to it.
@@JessicaPerez-vf4rn
I absolutely love it! If I’m not mistaken, Acure whipped cream has the same ingredients as Protini. It works great under makeup,!
@@joda7702 Thank you! Literally ordering this today! I'm almost out of Protini but my gosh it's so expensive!!!!
@@joda7702 Happy Holidays!!!
@@JessicaPerez-vf4rn you won’t be disappointed!
Penny you are doing the Lord’s work, truly. Now, where’s that dupe for the Sisley Black Rose mask? Asking for a friend :)
I saw this video, I do not lie not once but 4 times, and until now I see that you have a great dupe for the protini that it’s my option for the la mer, so this just gets better! Thanks will buy the ACURE 😍❤️👌🏼
Yay!! I’m so glad! 😃💜
Follow up, I started following your channel 5 months ago I bought the Deer Skin serum, because I had dark spots and hyperpigmentation. The best product I’ve used for my skin in such a long time my dark spots, and old acne spots along my jaw line and check bones and neck were clear completely in 2-3 weeks with my skin complexion I didn’t think it was possible. Thank you for that recommendation!!
That is seriously so fantastic!!! Yay! Thank you for following up!
This is one of the best channels - I am not sure why you wouldn’t want to subscribe! Thank you Penny 🤩
Aww!! Thank you Kate! That is so nice of you!!
PENN.SMITH.SKINCARE LLC it is the truth. I always look forward to your videos.
really appreciate these honest informative videos. We are so over marketed it's ridiculous. Wonderful to save our $$ and still take good care. of our skin. Thank you for all your hard diligent detective work.
I love your videos so much! They are so so so helpful! Thank you very much for them!!!!!! I am so happy!😁😁😁😁😁
What a great video! Love, love, love! New subscriber via Cate the Great beauty livestream. I’m so excited about the sunscreen - I love Elta md (my favorite) so I can’t wait to try the drmtlgy. Also the drunk elephant dupe will be rushing to get. Love this content. Thank you!
My favorite series!
Hey Pen! Just FYI, I do have the notifications on but was not notified of your new video... I think the analytics are wrong and for me anyway there is something not working. Hope that helps! Thanks for all of the useful information. You are my absolute favorite person to watch!!
Thank you for all your wonderful information! I randomly came across your channel and immediately subscribed!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I didn't get the notification for your videos again but I'm glad I came across it now so I didn't miss it ...... Great video 💙💛💟💚💜
Just ran out of my EltaMD this morning. Really grateful to have an alternative that is even better for me with lighter tint, no pilling and less $$ as I buy that sunscreen not only for me but also for both my teen daughters! Yay!! Thank you.
First time watching you and I bought two items. 😊
Thanks! Can’t wait to sit down and watch more.
I started noticing Elta MD pilling too. One that I love that sits well underneath makeup by them is SPF 40 I think but the second ingredient is petroleum, which shocked me. I don’t think I would have tried it had I known but my daughter bought me the wrong one and I like it better than the clear.
I love love love the Protini Cream... I have been unable to find anything like it. I am ordering the Acure - fingers crossed! The ingredients look wonderful. Thank you Penny, grateful for you!💜
I love these videos on products! I have allergies to many ingredients. Can't use drunk elephant and many more brands...your attention toward irritating ingredients is so valuable for someone like me! Thanks!
I so appreciate your honesty!
I loooooove you. I can’t even express how grateful i am to have found your channel.
I am a student whose skin really likes expensive skincare but your videos are giving me hope.
Rania!! So nice of you!! Thank you for being here 🥰
I have tried both Protini and Accure. I cant speak to how each works best, but the Protini has a wonderful slip and application. Accure on the other hand is thick and on my dry skin applies like spreading tooth paste. I will certainly finish it and appreciate the heads up on good ingredients.
I am incredibly happy to came across with this channel. So honest, full of amazing info. I admire your knowledge!
Thank you! I’m glad you’re here!!
I am so glad you are do these segments. You are providing a lot of wonderful information that I am absolutely loving. Please continue finding products dupes and helping us save some money. Thank you so much!!!
Penny, you put out such excellent videos! I bet the overpriced skin care companies hate you, but we love that you do the research to find us products that do the trick without breaking the bank. I recently added The Inkey List Tranexamic Acid to my skin care routine as hypigmentation is the biggest enemy that I battle against. (I also use Vitamin C, Alpha Arbutin with Kojic Acid, Azelaic Acid, Niacinamide and Retinaldehyde) I am definitely going to look into the Dearskin Tranex when I run out of the Inkey List. FYI, you can get the 20g jars of the Laneige lip sleeping mask in 4 different flavors from Yesstyle for $14.32 which is where I got mine. They actually have a lot of the Asian skincare brands.
Penny this one was fantastic! I actually made a list lol. Just need to do a little research on CF status! Thank you so much for this ❤️
Thank you my friend!!! These are so fun to do 😃🥰
You are absolutely amazing. My #1 go to for information I can trust. Thank you for sharing your wisdom !
Wow, thank you!
Good Morning! At the end of your video you asked us to tap the bell, well I did that a few months ago!! I have learned sooooooo much from you and I have my daughter watching you too. I just want you to know that a shout out from Graceful Beauty is how I found you. Getting ready to order some of the Good Molecules products you recently review. I also appreciate the copper peptide education videos you did. Needed to replenish my skin care routine so I am running through your product comparison videos. Thank you for helping us girls age more gracefully without breaking the bank!! However I will splurge a little if you are over the top about a product....like the copper peptides. Have a beautiful Sunday and Oregon is on my bucket list of states to visit!
Awww I’m so glad you’re here! I just love Sheri! That’s super kind of her!
I hope you have a beautiful Sunday! 💜
I really appreciate you sharing affordable skincare options. It's so hard to find great products that are affordable but you do a great job breaking down the science behind the products. Thank you for this!
I am so appreciative of all your knowledge! YES PENN! Thank you
Penny you are brilliant !!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us (and saving us a little milk money) !! 🥰
Thank you Cheryl!
I’m brand new here. 52 and bingeing your amazing channel!!! Thanks for the great content!💕😊
I’m so glad you’re here!
I didnt even watch the whole thing before I stopped and ordered the niacinamide and the night cream!! I use Sunprise sunscreen and really like it and so many lip products that I cant justify the lip product. I trust you so bought without even thinking about it!
I think you’re absolutely fantastic and I have purchased a few things you have recommended. I love how you explain things, break down the ingredients and take the time to do this. I’m 45 and definitely a little more educated because of your channel, so thank you so much. I live in the U.K. so many of the products I can’t find but I appreciate you 🥰 have a wonderful day xxx
I got a mini pro-Tini from drunk elephant 🐘 and loved it . Just didn’t make the big purchase . Love that we have a good “dupe” !!
So excited for this, I have my 30th reunion this summer and need budget-friendly help. :) Thank you in advance for doing this.
That’s so exciting! Isn’t it crazy how fast time flies?
I untapped the bell on all of my favorite YT. Personally, I do not like sorting through all that email. Of course, I still watch my favorites like you when you post.
I recently purchased Squalene and it absolutely does not sink into my skin. I moved it from face to neck which seems to work.
Never understood the Laneigh hype. I do have it but really do not think it does anything. I refuse to waste products so I am going through it but will not repurchase. Sometimes, we get caught up in the YT hype.
Thanks for everything you research for us.
😎❤️💄 Kathy
I added the Tranex on your recommendation and I am blown away. This works so much better that the Skinceuticals for me.
Hi Penn, thank you so much for your videos, and for making it reachable for everybody's budget..Your the Best.
Really looking forward to this one, especially the dupes for Laneige lip sleeping mask and Elta MD sunscreen. Thank you so much for all your hard work in bringing these knowledge our way. Lots of love from London
I Love these types of videos Penne, I learn so much. Thank You Kindly 😊😊, but unfortunately most of the products aren’t sold here in Australia 🇦🇺😢😢💓💓💓
Love these videos where you suggest affordable alternatives. Just received my Dearskin Tranex Dear Serum today and can't wait to try! Thank you for all your hard work researching and putting it all together in a format that is fun and easy to comprehend!!
I found your channel today. That's when the clouds parted and the angels started singing. You are a GODSEND. Wow. So impressed with your knowledge and expertise. I have hypersensitive skin. I thought I knew a lot about skincare and boy was I wrong. I have been stalking your channel and binge watching your videos and I'm learning so much from you. I gave you a call today to hopefully set up an appointment for a consultation (either in person or by phone). I know you're swamped and likely don't have any openings, but I had to at least try! I hope to hear back from you, but if not, I'll try to make the best decisions I can based on your informational videos!
I must confess, I jumped to your Amazon store & ordered the Tanex. Love your videos!! Be blessed.
Can't wait. Am using the new DE F-BALM and loving it but at 52$ a pop, hopefully a dupe is coming soon.
I’m searching!
Cici Koenig I bet a company like the Ordinary will be all over it soon.
Honestly this series is so informative and just gives down right basic ingredient to ingredient comparisons!! Nothing beats cold hard facts and research. Thank you for putting in so much work and time. Definitely will try these out! :)
These videos are so good, filled with intelligent recommendations and proper ingredients comparisons. Thank you for not being like every other salesy youtuber. And I'm buying the Acure today!
I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this series of try this, not that! Please keep going with these dupes!!!!
Another winning video! Not sure how I got so lucky when I found you Penny! Thank you for all the time spent researching and sharing❣️❣️❣️
Glad I came across this video. Very informative. I like your approach to product comparision.
I LOVE your channel and I LOVE this series!! Thank you much!!!! 🌸⭐👍
Another great video Penny! Thanks so much!!! 💖 Take care, Ginny 😘😘😘
Thank you Ginny 🥰🥰🥰
OMG, you are in a class all your own! There is no other channel that compares product ingredients side by side, and lists the deck . I’ve become a more discriminating consumer, not influenced by high price or influencers . Thank you for all the work you put into your channel!
What do u think of PCA gel hydroquinone-free?
Penny, this series is what had me on your channel and I am hooked since 2 days ago =) I have been looking for youtuber who focuses on ingredients rather than brand or hype for a long while and I found you! I thank you so much for all the work you put in. If you can please give us a lesson on what ingredients are not to be used together. Please also do more try this and not that. Love love love !!!
Thank you Vivian, I am so glad you’re here!
I will definitely work on that video, such a great suggestion.
I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week! 💜
Super thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience to all us ladies all over the world 🤩 I'm going to follow you in this new year and I exited. Thanks for teaching me so much♀️ Best regards from Elisabeth, Norway
On my second bottle of the Dearskin and it has lightened my sun spots. It does work!! However, For some reason it has caused some breakouts.
It has worked for me too but no breakouts. I have normal to dry skin. My skincare routine is pretty simple.
That_90’s_Chic , how long did it take before you noticed fading? Do u use it in AM or PM?
I initially used it twice a day but it was piling under makeup. Just use it at night now. After about a month I noticed a difference. Today at Sephora I was looking at some new foundations and really noticed my skin tone has evened out. It does work.
If you have no issues I would recommend twice a day.
That_90’s_Chic , thank you! Is it safe to use with Tretinoin at night? Ive been using 0.05% every night
Love these videos! Thanks Penn for doing the research!
Good Molecules also just came out with under eye hydrogel patches! I got them early in the Trendmood beauty box. I’ve used them once so far and they are really nice with nice ingredients! $18 for 30 pairs.
Ooooh! I’ll have to check them out!
Love your advise! Great information as usual! I appreciate you!
Great info Penny, thank you for doing the leg work for us! You are adorable!
Hi there beautiful so glad u said that about the protini. #Nobsbeauty Sarah turned me on to this a while back... U both are extremely knowledgeable in skin care products 🙌🙌🙌❤
Just ordered the Acure from Target with my discount and ordered the Tranex on Amazon. You are amazing! Can't believe how similar the ingredients deck is for the Acure and Drunk Elephant! That would be amazing if it could replace my Protini! I already have a backup jar of protini but wow, at the very least I could use the cheaper alternative to give my neck and chest some love! I got Inkey List tranexamic acid product but it’s 3%, I’m excited to probably get better results using this 5% with the other good ingredients as well! 🤩 🙌🏼✨
That’s a great idea! The textures are different so it’ll be interesting to see what you think. Neck and décolletage is a perfect use for the Acure!!
Very excited to try the Dermatology sunscreen. I find that every sunscreen I use pills up under my foundation. Elta, Paula's Choice and even Colorscience seem to be the worst for me even though I love the products.
So glad I came across your channel.
I’m so glad you’re here!
Thank you 💜
Happy Friday!
Penny, you are the best, and brightest!! Love this series, and learn so much. Blessings, and love, beautiful..MaryEllen
Another great video! Thank you for doing it and saving us all some money 👌🏻
Thank you for being here Eva! 💜
Hi Penny! Thanks so much for your videos. You have quickly become my new favorite CZcamsr!
Question: Do you have thoughts on the StackedSkincare EGF serum? I recently purchased the Dr. Pen and this EGF serum and wondering whether it is safe to needle in.
Also, I bought the Cos De Baha HA you recommended, but now I’m hearing a lot of buzz about forthcoming studies suggesting that HA is bad for the skin long term because your skin becomes dependent on it and ceases to produce its own moisture, so I’m hesitant to use the HA when needling. Would love your take on this!
I am sooo happy to realize that I have the Acure cream, the Dear skin serum and the sunscreen that I love by the way. Both sunscreen and serum I bought under your recommendations. I love this series and I am so grateful Penny to you for sharing your knowledge. Thank you so much!
Honestly, love you too. You are so easy to listen to and the information you share is top notch. Thanks Penny x0x0x
Thank you Eleanor! That makes my day! 🥰
Thank you!! You’re literally the best 🙏🏼 love the knowledgable advice and ingredient breakdown
