Hellooooooo,
Today I want to share some skincare mistakes we all make when shopping for skincare. From fake science, reading ingredients wrong and buying fake skincare, these are some mistakes we can all stop making today!
Today I’ll be not only sharing a few things I’ve learnt that can be detrimental to our skincare routine, but also sharing who I learnt this information from. I hope to share with you some amazing skincare focused instagrams, KZfaq channels etc etc from real life skincare experts. These people work in the industry so they live and breathe skincare, cosmetics, ingredients and formulations.
And please bear in mind, this isn't me coming from a point of 'omg your so silly can’t believe you didn’t know this' but more from a point of sharing what I’ve learnt recently!

I don't want to quibble with you too much, James, 'cause you know I love your work, but I don't think we should assume that skincare companies are always good faith actors. Some are perfectly willing to include bullshit, useless, and potentially irritating ingredients because they're trendy without much concern about the end user. Liah Yoo's thoughtfulness is the exception in the industry, not the rule. Hearing from a formulator who was removed from a project because he questioned a major client's demand to include certain dubious ingredients reminded me that their top priority is making money. Edit - I am *NOT* talking about silicones, alcohol, parabens and other proven safe ingredients. Brands are just as guilty for allowing them to be demonized as they are for jumping on the bullshit, "all natural" hype train.

I think the problem with the whole "don't buy from third party sellers" is it's all well and good when you live in America/Canada, but when you live in places like Australia no one is interested in selling to us! we have no choice. Like for instance Krave beauty, I can't find or afford a forwarding service and despite having a whole product named after one of our reefs they don't even ship to us! Most of what I buy is through a third party seller because legitimate businesses don't care about our business! I pay so much in conversions and shipping as it is and I'm frankly sick of it 😔 Thanks for coming to my Rant™

@matshx 3 жыл бұрын

Exactly! Sometimes it's easy for them to say this because they live in countries when you have different options, and if you can't get product A, you can get product B and problem solved. For instance I live in Colombia-Latin America (And overall great part of Latin America struggles with this). And here you can't find ANYTHING, no TO, no Krave Beauty, no CeraVe, no InkeyList, etc. You either stick to third party sellers or neutrogena's make up wipes. So yeah, kind of hard to have a good skin care routine if it's not buying products from these 3rd party sellers.

Hey James, although I agree that an ingredient shouldn’t be demonized, you can’t deny that the order in which ingredients come in an INCI list will make the difference about a product...it’s good to trust formulations and brands, it’s also good to learn how to read an ingredient list and recognize when a product is likely to do what it says it will do... just wanted to put it here because I refuse to think that educating myself to choose products that have better chance to fit me is a mistake.

@JessaJaguar 3 жыл бұрын

The order of ingredients listed is another misconception. Unless the percentage is stated as an active ingredient, companies can list ingredients present in a concentration of 1% or less in any order they want. Something could be 80% water and it would be listed first, but then the next 20 "natural" ingredients listed afterwards could be in any order. You could have something that's only 0.01% listed first ahead of something that is actually 1%. And a low percentage doesn't necessarily mean something is ineffective. Clobetasol is an incredibly potent steroid and you only need 0.05% for it to be effective, comparatively to hydrocortisone at 2.5% which is still weaker than the clobetasol.

Have to admit, I am one who looks at the ingredients, but it's not about what others have said about a specific one or 5ooo, but what I have found has worked well for my skin. At 46, it has changed of course but, the majority of ingredients have kept working for me overall. Those are the ones I'm checking for in the list. Love your videos James and the informations you give us are priceless.

Thank you for saying that you can’t judge a product by it’s ingredient list. Unless you are a chemist, or you are allergic to a specific ingredient, you need to try a product to know how it will work. I get so tried of people on KZfaq making recommendations on products based on the ingredient list even though they have never used the product. That product they think may be great, may actually be crap, but they never tried it and don’t know. Another product they think will be drying or feel heavy because of a certain ingredient, may actually be great. It really irritates me when I have used the product and know they are wrong.

I would love to see a video where you talk about youtubers, influencers...and categorize them for every skin type. I have very dry and sensitive skin and almost every youtuber... I find has oily skin and like you they also say like this product is better for drier skin but it would be nice to have someone recommend products with a similiar skin type Do you have any recommendations?

Thank you so much, James! Agree, agree, agree!!! I am so tired of all the fear-mongering when it comes to skincare and cosmetics. I love beautiful fancy packaging, but that doesn't make me buy it or not make me by it. I try products, if they do what I want, I will buy them again. And, *just because an ingredient doesn't have clincial research behind it, doesn't mean it doesn't work* . Real Clinical Research Trials costs millions of dollars and can take years to get approval, and it doesn't mean they can be used in cosmetics since the FDA does not oversee cosmetics. Most companies, especially small ones, could never afford these studies. There is so much more to this, but I'll leave it here. Take care, Ginny 😘😘😘

I think there is still value in reading ingredients lists. For example, determining what the active ingredients are and whether they’re in a therapeutic range. If the product says it contains vitamin C but is below phenoxyethanol/retinol then I know the concentration is not high enough to have a brightening effect on my skin.

@Elrewin59 3 жыл бұрын

Hi ! Thank you for this video ! It's very interesting to hear someone challenge these skincare myths. Although I have some thoughts about what you said : 1. I agree with the fact that an ingredient list doesn't tell the whole story, and that the formulation is important as well (I have used products with "controversial" ingredients, and never had a problem with them, although I must mention my skin isn't very sensitive and can take some "hits"). However, not every brand has your best interest at heart ; I don't think brands like L'Oreal are as mindful with their formulations as others like Krave Beauty. A lot of brands' goal is to make as much money as possible. And while they won't formulate a product so badly it will make your skin melt off, I don't think every product out there has the best formulation it could, because a) it takes time to well formulate a product and these brands want to put out as much products as they can, b) it costs money, and these brands would rather sell a poorly formulated product with a good price-quality ratio than a good one that doesn't bring much cash. So while I won't put back on the shelf a product that contains denatured alcohol or parabens, it I see they're on the top of the ingredients list, I'm more likely to believe it won't do much for my skin (or in the worst case scenario aggravates it), and that the brand is in it for the money. 2. I completely agree with you on being mindful with third-places retailers. I never buy skincare from Amazon or Ebay because not only it's often way more expensive than the original price or, even worse, it's counterfeit made by people who literally don't give two shits about you. A lot of people have reported injuries from products like the red peeling from The Ordinary, but it's likely they just bought counterfeits with very bad formulations. So stay safe guys, don't buy skincare there ! 3. Not so much a thought as a question : where do you buy your Krave Beauty ? I live in France and not only they don't ship here, but there also no retailer who does. Could you share yours ? Thanks ! Bye !

As a pharmacist i’m glad you are talking about the cake theory! Cosmetics should use that freedom of making those pretty packaging. In the pharmaceutical industry in many countries you may not make prescribtion meds too pretty or too tasty! It is medicine not something fun like skincare... So make these skincare/cosmetics fun I would say! About the niacinamide.... that should be the same quality since They have to follow the GMP (good manufacuring practice) but that is actually the case for natural derived components, like plant extracts. Every plant is different since it grows on different soil etc etc. I love your videos James! Keep it up, looking forward to them popping up on my phone! PS Dutch autocorrect is sabotaging me
