So glad you guys had the guts to speak out against La Mer. Their pricing is just ridiculous

Shark biologist here!! Thank you for touching on the beauty products derived from sharks. If anyone else is curious squal-ANE is plant derived, squal-ENE is animal derived.

The Ordinary has made skin care accessible for so many people.

I'm in my 50s but you guys and James Welsh got me hooked on skincare. I've got a simple but consistent routine now and I really notice a difference. You're never too old to start taking care of your skin. Thank you for all you do.

You guys are providing valuable information for free!

I just need to say as someone who wears hearing aids and has hearing loss, hearing damage and audio-processing disorder. Your Mics and all of your sound is absolutely AMAZING one of the clearest youtube channels to hear and understand, because sometimes the closed captions are definitely not what people are actually saying 😂 lol. Much Appreciated 💕

My wife has used Oil of Olay moisturizer--the pink stuff--since she was 20. She's 61 now and I think she looks 40.

Holy cow, guys. Thank you SO MUCH for being the first YouTube derms to not only recognize those of us with fragrance allergies, but also how fragrant ingredients like limonene, lemon peels, orange, lime, grapefruit, linalool, etc. also can be very sensitizing!

At 20, I developed severe contact dermatitis with allergies to fragrance, citrus, peppermint, cinnamon, and lanolin, and BOY was it hard. So many derms forgot and would tell me to buy aquaphor products (often had lanolin in it that I was allergic to) so stopped trusting derms. I started researching myself and watching skincare experts online to study ingredients and build my own “safe” database because my own doctors weren’t helpful.

Thank you for boosting my faith in derms again!

I have a tiny fridge next to my bed for all my important stuff...snacks and beverages. I'll be damned if I woke up thirsty and found skincare in there.

Best decision of 2021 so far: having discovered this channel and binge watched every single video made by the cute docs and learning so much about skincare

[alyxxa]

Funny thing about La Mer. I looked at the ingredients, and the big ingredient is algae, which is great, however, they also added a preservative which, destroys….algae.

Skin Fridge is definitely the title of a horror movie

My dermatologist’s classic comments on skin care is “I don’t understand how some of these products are out there on the market. The ingredients are not making sense.”. I stopped buying expensive products that were causing me breakouts and start using products that he recommended safe for my oily, acne prone skin. Now I’m completely over acnes and my skin looks so much better, and I save a lot of money.

[MandaPanda]

Thank you for speaking out about how ridiculously expensive a lot of skincare products are 🙏 I’m so sick of putting things back on the shelf because I refuse to pay that much! 😤

[BabyBear]

I really appreciate y’all being real about brands with way overpriced items. Thank you thank you. Skincare at any price point is an extra cost/luxury, and while I won’t be buying a $300 serum it’s hard to know if the products that are lower priced are good and I don’t want to waste $10-$50 on a product that won’t do anything. It’s so hard to tell whats real. So it’s really helpful to get real information!! Thank you

Thank you so much for educating us on skincare, why we don't need certain products, AND recommending cheaper/better alternatives. I really appreciate videos like these where doctors are informing the public, even though they won't benefit from any sponsorships from skincare/beauty companies. Most of us inherently trust doctors since they are supposed to help us, not act as influencers that just push products (that are overpriced, ineffective, or even dangerous) for easy money. Thank you for not abusing that trust!

Extra virgin argan oil is my go-to. Amazon for 12 bucks and if you can get it in the pump and not the dropper it is easier to use. Soaks in almost immediately. I am 68 and my chest and neck have absolutely no wrinkles. I have been using argan oil for over 10 years. I read somewhere that they did a study and found that Nivea performed the same as LaMer. I love The Ordinary's products. My current fave serum is SkinMedica TNS Advanced Serum. It is $295 but I have never had a product give results so quickly.

When ever these doctor's make a video it just puts a smile on my face and these two have too much of positive in them ... Tq soo much Sharing ur positive energy ❤️❤️

[fairychick]

The Ordinarys price point and quality of their products makes them one of the best, if not the best, affordable skin care lines out there.
