Hi Kenna, great video. This is sort of ingredient related - I’d love to know about the amount of any particular active ingredient (vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, resveritrol etc) in a product for it to actually be effective. So for example a product contains vitamin C but in such a tiny amount that it’s not actually any benefit to the skin. I’ve also been wondering about Drunk Elephant and whether their products really as as good as people say, and I’d love to know your opinion about Drunk Elephant’s owner saying that “your skincare is only as good as your worst product” and their advice to use 100% Drunk Elephant products otherwise you won’t get the full benefits of their products?!! Thanks!

I kind of agree with DE. Most brands have a synchronized system...all the products support each other and the formulas support each other. Kind of the same thing with makeup, it is usually best to use the brand's primer with their foundation (usually) and this is why you find that some primers work with some foundations but not others.
@DF-wb2ln

zahedah80 a general rule for vitamin c is look for l-ascorbic acid which is produced and can be absorbed by the body. Price will often reflect concentration. And as a rule of thumb in order for an effective amount of vit c to be stable it needs to be in an oil or paste (without water). So serums are good options. And if u see it in like a moisturizing cream or something it’s prob an ineffective amt of vit c. I use PCA c &e strength I forget but it says right on the package the amounts of vit c and e. You can get it online or at a local massage envy and save the shipping if you have one nearby. -licensed esthetician

I was just reading this thing a dermatologist write about Jan Marini luminate lotion as being “the best product I have seen for hyperpigmentation that does not contain hydroquinone “. Don’t quote me but I think it’s Arbutin. U can look it up online. They also sell Jan marini now at massage envy if u have one near you.

While I understand the basic theory, I'm so confused about formulations of some of the products. For exaple, I've been eyeing The Body shop yogurt lotion (it's a light body lotion) and it's meant for dry skin, without being heavy. Denatured Alcohol is 3rd ingredient, right after water and glycerine, and if it's a drying ingredient, why do companies put it so high up in 'moisturizing' products? I've seen simmilar formulations in many different light-weight mousturizers. I understand alcohol is there for the texture, but why bother advertizing it as hydrating then?

I’m trying to figure out why wet n wild photo focus foundation, Physician’s Formula The Healthy Foundation, and Tarte Aquacealer Concealer all smell like paint thinner? I put the three ingredients lists through a software that finds repeated words, and I found that they all have cyclopentasiloxane, butylene glycol, and glycol. Any ideas?
It wouldn't be the glycol so that leaves 3 other ingredients, id say the likely culprit is cyclopentasilooxane or capryly.
