Angie, can you tell me the difference among the Timeless products? I would like to start incorporating them one by one and I’m not sure what does what and which I should should try first. Thanks.

  Hi Tululeh~ To incorporate the Timeless serums in one by one, I’d start with the Vitamin C serum first, then the CoQ10 serum, and then the Matrixyl Synthe 6 last. You can find out what they each do by watching my skincare routine videos. xo ~angie

Hi Angie, I have tried the Mandelic, Lactic and Glycolic acids from The Ordinary and seem to have an allergic reaction to them (hives). Is there another gentle AHA that you would suggest? I
have very sensitive skin so for me, the fewer the ingredients the better! Many thanks.

  In the same price point as The Ordinary, Inkey List and Revolution Skincare both have a 5% Lactic Acid serum that you can try but the ingredients are very similar to The Ordinary so I’m not sure they’d cause less of a reaction. I’d recommend trying Paula’s Choice Resist Daily Smoothing Treatment with 5% AHA.

Hi Angie. I know you’re a big fan of Curology, but unfortunately it’s not available in New Jersey. As a result I’m considering Apostrophe’s Trentoin/Niacinamide combo cream. Any thoughts?

Hi Angie! Hello from Central Asia! Watching your channel for the past two years and trying to follow your routine. As we dont have all the products delivered to this part of the world I request people travelling to the USA to get different products for me. Thank you so much for all your hard work!
Angie, now that I use exactly the same suncare routine in the morning as you, I have been having problems with make up. My foundation, True Match by Loreal, doesnt blend, it is difficult to apply and it starts peeling off in few hours. I cannot stand close to people thinking they are going to see my foundation and I am always worried about it. Have you had similar problems? How long do you wait in the morning to apply your make up after your skin care? Do you have any tips on how to smoothly apply foundation on top of everything else?
P.S. I use the same sunscreen, Botanical tinted sunscreen 50.

Thanks so much!
Love
Sophia

  Hi Sophia~ Everyone’s skin is different and products will react on your skin differently than they might on mine. I haven’t experienced any of the problems you are so sadly, I don’t really know what could be the cause. I don’t wait between products but I do let the sunscreen set for 15-20 minutes before applying makeup. Skincare & makeup combos are a lot of trial & error to figure out what works best for your skin. xo ~angie

  Thanks Sharlene! I think topically, prescription Retin-A is the best thing you can use for firming skin but it takes time (years) to see some results. I started using it 6 years ago and my skin is better today than it was then! Here are a couple of posts that might help you:

Hi Angie, I’ve been following your routines now for over 2 years and have been very satisfied. I decided to try a Matryxl blend from the Ordinary and found this on their web site.(below)in light of their disclaimer I was wondering what your thoughts are regarding using the C+ E +Ferulic acid and/or the lactic acid at the same time as the peptides, and if they cancel each other out or if they are in some way harmful when used together. Thanks for your love of research!
“Instead of developing a complex guide listing the compatibility of each of our peptides with each acid and Vitamin C, we have adapted the following approach to maximize efficacy for the maximum number of people:

It is best to not use Peptides in the same routine as the following products: Direct acids, LAA (L-Ascorbic Acid) and ELAA (Ethylated Ascorbic Acid). In addition, we would recommend avoiding the use of products containing copper peptides in the same routine as strong antioxidants as well as direct acids/LAA/ELAA.”

  Lisa, I came here to ask Angie the same question! I also recently saw this information on The Ordinary’s site and wondered the same thing. I’ve been layering peptides over my C serum. Apparently you’re not supposed to do that?

  Hi Lisa~ While I appreciate that The Ordinary needs to deliver a simple message via customer service I think they’re missing the boat on this one. My guess is they’re basing this statement on the fact that peptide bonds can be broken by strong acids, but what they’re not considering is that L-Ascorbic acid and AHAs in skincare aren’t strong acids. They’re formulated to be safe for home use and would be considered weak acids. The reality is that in order to break peptide bonds you have to boil peptides in strong acid over a period of about 6 hours. This just doesn’t happen in your skin so there’s little chance of the peptides being unraveled in use with topical vitamin c or AHAs. Hope that helps. xo ~angie

I have been using your January 2018 regime for almost 2 months now and already see a significant change in my skin…for the better. I love the NuFace & use both the Trinity & the Ele. I was wondering if you still use the Trinity Wrinkle reducer? I was considering getting one but notice that it isn’t in your latest AM/PM routine.

Hi from CA Angie! Just found your channel and LOVE your stuff, super informative! I’ve made changes to my skin care routine thanks you to and have already seen improvements! So thank you! Since you’re big into everything anti again I wanted to mention the anti aging hair care line Monat to you. I’ve been using since September 2018, and it has improved my hair in every way possible. I am so so grateful for finding this product as my hair was in such bad shape before…If you ever do try it, I’d LOVE to hear your thoughts about it.
ALSO can I ask if you have any more information on why the NuFACE would be bad for anyone with thyroid issues to use on their neck? If it mimics the body’s own electrical currents, then why would this be harmful for your thyroid? I bought the NuFACE and want to use it on my neck as it bothers me most, but I have hypothyroidism soooo not sure what to do?? Thank you so much and keep the great info and videos coming!

  Hi Dana~ I haven’t tried Monat. I don’t know exactly why NuFace isn’t FDA Cleared for use on the front of the neck. You should probably contact NuFace customer service. Best, Angie

Hi Angie! I recently found you on YouTube and find you very helpful and informative! So I have a question if you’re not too busy to help me out. I recently purchased a vitamin c serum and mainly bought this particular brand because of the price point at $10.45. However when I received it, and read the bottle, it said it MAY contain triethanolamine. I know nothing about these big name ingredients and since you seem very knowledgeable about skin care, I thought I’d ask you what your thoughts about this product might be. Should I be concerned about the possible exposure to triethanolamine?

Reply
1. Angie says:
  
  May 5, 2019 at 9:36 am
  
  Hi Melisa~ Triethanolamine is considered “safe for use in cosmetic formulations designed for discontinuous, brief use followed by thorough rinsing from the surface of the skin; in products intended for prolonged contact with the skin, the concentration of DEA should not exceed 5%; should not be used with products containing N-nitrosating agents.” Based on that I’d pass on that serum.

  The Ordinary Resveratrol started irritating my skin so I stopped using it. I don’t think the irritation was from the resveratrol since it’s been shown to be non-irritating, some of the Ordinary products just bother my skin… must be something else in their formulas.

Hi Angie—I’ve watched and taken notes on nearly all your videos of the past 3 years, I think I’m confusing myself 🙂 . I’m 55. Only recently have I begun the daily sunscreen routine, like you…I was a “sun goddess” in years past. Anyway. I’ve not been happy with sunscreens for my face and am ready to make a change. I see that in your ‘daily routine’ you’ve enjoyed both Hyperpeptide and Ulta. Here is my question…which would you get if you could only choose one?? I’ve recently had a “sun/age spot” scraped for a biopsy (just cuz, not alarmed) and the skin is pink so I really want to protect the fresh skin. I also spend several hours a day on my computer. Your help and guidance is much appreciated. Thank you. Kemberly . P.S. What about the colorscience total control eye sunscreen….I don’t see it on your daily list!!??!!

  Hi Kemberly~ I use lots of different sunscreens but some of my current faves are Elta MD UV Elements spf 44, Australian Gold Botanical, Tinted Face SPF 50, Hydropeptide SPF 50. I like Colorscience Total control eye sunscreen but I don’t think you necessarily need to get a separate eye sunscreen. I just put my face sunscreen on my eye area. xo ~angie

Hi Angie,

Do you think using something like 5% glycolic acid + a 20% vitamin C together is too strong a combination? I noticed you use the lactic acid vs glycolic.

I have been trying out the Pixie Glow Tonic in my morning routine, without Mae Love. Between that Curology, Paula’s Choice and CeraVe products, my skin looks the best it has ever looked and I’m turning 34 in two weeks. I’m almost afraid to make any changes in my routine since my skin is so clear and bright.

  Hi Lisa~ My skin is too sensitive to use glycolic along with Vitamin C & Retin-A but your skin might be able to tolerate it just fine. Since you’re happy with your skin, maybe just try it once a week and see how it goes… xo ~angie

  I have sensitive skin so I don’t like to use any other acids at night with Retin-A to avoid irritation. There’s no reason you couldn’t use them together at night.

  Angie – I had the same question about the “buffet” and also should I use it BOTH morning (after vitamin C) and at night after retin-A? I love that it has all the stuff you recommend in one bottle! It also feels good on my skin. Just not sure if double up does anything more than the one a day. Thank you!

  Curology is sold as a 1 month or 2 month supply… they don’t really state how much is in the bottle. The only thing I could find is in the Q&A section under the travel tab, they say the 2 month bottle is 24 ml.

This is so helpful! I love your videos—and this list is great. It has inspired me to create my own list to tape up in my bathroom because I always seem to forget a step!
You have absolutely aged in reverse, which has inspired me (I started watching at 29 and just turned 31) to take better care of my skin.
I had been using retinol products, but I just made my appointment for tretinoin since Curology isn’t available in my state (I used it when I lived in NC, but we moved 8 months ago).
Thanks for all your posts as videos!
