I really love how transparent James is with sponsored material. Not only disclosing that a product he mentioned was sponsored once, but also saying some of the links in description are affiliate links. This should be the gold standard for all influencers online! Thank you James for respecting your viewers 💖

As someone who recently developed rosacea, i like seeing James' more experienced opinions on what works for his skin. Not enough skincare influencers actually have skin conditions.

Since coming across this show - my skincare has been bumped up to a new level. And I’m giving James all the props for my improvements. James, Robert, the twin channel - the best thing they all have in common - they make smile.

James, 8:00 is honestly the reason I subscribe to you. I'm glad you don't fearmonger over skincare ingredients in all of your videos, because a lot of those ingredients are harmless to a lot of people, or maybe they're only not suitable for certain skin types or for people who are allergic. So much of beauty and skincare YouTube is full of fearmongering, but your videos are a breath of fresh air. Keep up the great videos!

bro your voice is so soothing i could listen to a 4 hour podcast on anything

[H.A.-zrwc]

Now you're DEFINITELY off the Ordinary PR list 😂😂😂

Ahh I’ve been waiting for you to talk about the Purito Centella SPF! I bought it on a slight whim when I needed to try a new SPF that would work with the ingredients I have in my makeup routine. I was persuaded by you talking about the serum from the same centella line, I knew it wouldn’t be the same but the other reviews online in combination to that gave me trust.

It is so so lightweight and yet gives a nice hydrating cling for my makeup. I feel as though I don’t have all these layers of skincare and makeup on my face when in fact, I do! It’s helped with my morning redness since my skin is so reactive to me touching it, even gently rinsing with water gets it worked up. Helping out the redness I normally get means I’m also applying less foundation and concealer in an attempt to mask it before I leave the house. My makeup routine is so much easier and softer with it and it makes me look so dewy and fresh but not greasy. I could easily mistake it for a lightweight moisturiser but it still hydrated those dry patches I struggle with.

Before making the switch I was originally using the Bondi Sands 50+ face spf. It did work for me and left me with a nice finish but I really struggled to avoid eye sting. I wouldn’t say it was greasy for me but it could some days be a little too shiny and slippy for my makeup to agree with, or even to leave the house without makeup.

My friend deals with rosacea and I have recommended to him to try this spf as he will avoid it usually, currently waiting to see how it works for his skin.

Yeah £50 is too much for a body wash lol, there's something about the look of that bottle that makes me swoon tbh. Please stop telling us all the good things.

purito simply has such incredibly good products. since i've been using the deep sea cream and the ceramide cream, my skin looks so good and is no longer irritated at all

[TheRealJocoCourter]

I’ve been using the ordinary lip balm and I love it. As someone who lives in a dry climate it’s keeps my lips nice and moisturized without irritation.

I just love these types of videos from you! You have really helped me educate myself about skincare and helped me really enjoy it as a relaxing part of my day! Thank you!

[laurieann]

I love your channel, your sense of humor and your candid reviews. I am 58 and always iswd makeup etc but warchi g you helped me define a workable skincare routine. Your brother jas helped me step up my makeup game!

[cindyms.]

I haven't used any of these products you've mentioned but I am looking for a sunscreen that doesn't irritate my sensitive skin or my rosacea. I'll try one that you've mentioned. You introduced me to Prequel a few videos ago and that has completely changed my skin for the better. Thank you so much for that recommendation, James.

[cathrynanderson]

Your description of Naturiums Barrier bounce had me cracking up - i also love it, but i have dry and dehydrated skin so its absolutely perfect for my skin. Its a confusing texture tho - it is the runniest, thick product that ive ever used tho! It feels almoat like a serum, but sinks in and hydrates like nothing else ive ever used. I swear its been a miracle product for my skin!

[tes_jpg]

you look stunning james!! happy friday 💜🖤

[producerparksohyun]

Thank GOD I watched this video! Almost ordered that Tirtir lip oil 😅

[GiuseppePascuale]

James, your skin in this video is rosacea success goals—so calm and smooth and glassy glowy.

[BarbaraT.]

That rubber sleeve on the Moon Swim bodywash can be put on the top (on the cap) when you travel to prevent leakage 😊

[lovisatroedsson]

I just love this channel so much. I recently got interested in skincare and am STRUGGLING to find a routine that works for me and my sensitive skin.

[Trazzlepops]

I loved the Purito sunscreen too. I couldn’t believe quite how much I loved it. If the right sunscreen for you is the one you’re gonna use, then this is my sunscreen. It just absorbs perfectly into my skin within 20-30 mins which is perfect coz I can’t stand the feeling of “stuff” on my skin. Great recommendation 👍🏻
