For the longest, I thought moisturizer was the key to great skin. Now in my 40s, I’ve learned that it comes down to proper cleansing, sunscreen and tretinoin. Yes I use moisturizer to soften my skin edges, but it’s a cheap drug store product called Vanicream Lite. You preach the skin care gospel, Cody! Thank you so much!

My skin was dry until I started using glycolic acid and retinol. I use CeraVe. I find I don't need more.

I love your skincare videos Cody! I could listen to you talk about skincare all day! Hope you're having a great weekend!

Have you ever noticed that some people that don’t do anything to their skin tend to have the best skin? 🤔

Thanks for another great video and I would love to hear more about those star ingredients.

Hello. I love your videos, very informative. Can I do glycolic or AHA’s at night with Retin A? Or how would you suggest I work them in. Thanks so much.

Love your approach to skincare and your passion for sharing such amazing information. Been watching your videos for a while and have got so much out of them.... Thank you 🙏🏼 . Greetings from Melbourne , Australia 😊.

Thank you Cody. Please talk more about those anti aging ingredients. BTW I love your Glycolic Acid Cream, Lactic Acid Brightening, Beauty Elixir and Vitamin C, I see a lot of improvement in my melasma. Thank you for the inspiration and your honesty.

Yes, Yes and YES Please . Oh, I want my skin to look so clear, smooth and glossy like yours, So Beautiful!!! Thank You Cody. You are the best. I appreciate your honesty so much!!!

I found you 2 days ago and I have realised that I am using my skin care products the wrong way. Thank you for coming to my life❤️

Yes yes yes Cody, thank you for your beauty wisdom. It’s so easy to get sucked in with commercial after commercial, promise after promise that a “miracle cream” will change your life. But they fail to explain like you just did how the skin really responds to different ingredients. I respect you for not only your wisdom but your honesty as well. ❤️ from Australia 🇦🇺

I really appreciate what did you say about skin care and moisturise creams👍🌞. I get my skin dry when i constantly use moistures face cream,seems like it stop the normal production of natural collagen. I am trying to use less products , only when is necessary , i am getting focused on good diet and good amount of water. Preventing growth It’s all about good food, good lifestyle, good sleep. Expensive anti aging cream are so tempting , they ‘ve got such good appeal. Since I started to realise what does really work for a good skin, i keeping away of buying overpriced products, honestly i found lot of benefits from castor oil as a night moisture oil👍☺️

Yes! Carry on! I have learned more from you than...anyone! Please keep the videos coming! ❤️

You just broke the hearts 💞 of the La Mer buyers 😂😂😂😂. Expense moisturizers with dull and dry results. Love you for keeping it real.

You're amazing, and you keep it 💯. That's why I love you and your channel.

Preach Cody preach👏..I've known this about moisturizers for years.I have friends and clients who get sucked into expensive moisturizers or mature clients who have used nothing on their skin and believe the hype ..girl they get a good 30 minute education on how skin works and what works..I'm not an esty but hairstylist who is fanatic about everything skin!

Brilliant!!! Thank you so much!! I would love to see a part two to this video😁😁😁

Thank you Beautiful!! Yes please share all your sweetness of knowledge 💜

Thanks again for your honesty 🤗

Hi Cody! My my my my !!! Your skin looks beautiful. Amazing in fact. I am glad I always hated the feel of creams on my skin. Love and thanks ......Laura 💋✌😘

Thanks for another great video with information to save us money! Never buy a $300 face cream! And yesss! Do a video on the items we actually need and how to use them for "anti-aging!

I believe this. I never used moisturizer and once I did I got wrinkles after I stopped using it for two days. I looked like I aged so much after using moisturizer. My face was so dry for months and wrinkled. I think ever since than I've had an odd wrinkle. My face is somewhat back to normal and not dry anymore. I guess what he was saying about the cells helping to moisturize you're face is true.

I love listening to your voice guiding me out of ignorance 😫

I agree with everything you said I only know these things because I’ve done my research and looked up so many ingredients. I know that actives are the most important things and spf is really the most effective anti-aging product. 💜💜💜

Everything you said makes absolute sense. As women, we need to use products that will stimulate, regenerate our skin. Thank you for sharing this valuable information.

I am new to your channel and I am super impressed with your information, it matches up to Dr. Obagi training class and slowly, I will catch up with every video you posted over this winter. I may post questions for clarification with those videos. Have you reviewed any Canadian medical grade skin care like Vivier? Sometimes I can't get some American brands (not shipping to Canada) and I'm hoping Vivier can fill in that spot. Your educational information is perfect and I can tell that you love your job and you love to help people be more healthy. You are so kind!

you are so educated! watch closely you tubers. this guys on his way to the big screen!!

Cody you are looking absolutely gorgeous. I don't have problems with moisture until February. I live in upstate New York and when the heat is on everywhere home,car,office I get dry. What would you suggest that I purchase from your store during February and March?

Thank you, such useful information. ❤️

Thank you. Guilty! I started using Retin A, Ahas, and vitamin c, and was quickly becoming a moisturizer and aloe buyer to help get rid of the flakiness, itchiness and dryness. Moisturizing every half hour to avoid the flakes. I can’t tell you how much moisturizer I’ve one through in a short while. Great info!

Hi Cody, love you and all your fabulous skin care advice. I use your exfoliating cleanser in the morning, then I put CeraVe moisturizing cream after. I don’t wait. Should I wait before applying the moisturizer? Then at night I apply Retin A just before bed. Then in the morning I wash my face with CeraVe foam cleanser, apply moisturizer then sunscreen. Is that a good regimen? I don’t want to get to much moisturizer. Luv u, thanks.

What Ingredients do you suggest ? I made my own blend of oils . Seabuckthorn, rose hip,vit a ,Argan oil. My skin was so healthy when using this blend .now I exfoliate a few times a week amd do fsce masks and still continue to use anti aging creams .I have great skin and I’m almost 40. What can I do to maintain my healthy skin and treat the mild lines on my fsce @.

Wow Cody, so knowledgeable! I have "fallen off the wagon" and been sucked into the gimmicky bullshit out there. Well no more. I am making out a routine and I gotta say, my only regimen will b with ur products bc I KNOW they work! Thanks doll, love u much!

What are your thoughts on SkinMedica’s TNS Essential Serum or Osmosis Stemfactor? Please do a follow-on video on active ingredients.

Which brands/products do you recommend with the ingredients that you are promoting 🤗 please and thank you!

I feel I'm back to the beauty school again, so true :) thank you love

“Bless their hearts”🤣🤣🤣 thank you for this nugget

Cody what do you think of the Skin Medica TNS serum? The $300 one? What’s with this GROWTH FACTOR?? I mostly use your Vit c products ... Cerave and prescription retina. Then a glycolic once a week or so, I’m extremely sensitive. Anddd.... because if you ♥️I make my own mask at home ... using glycerin, Cerave vit c etc. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😘😘😘😘

I totally agree! I tried using moisturizer when I was younger and they did nothing for me. Not that I'm much older, I started noticing my skin was looking terrible so I knew I needed to do something. I did research and started listening to everything I could find from esthatitions on the subject matter. I haven't used retionals yet but everything I use is drugstore and has aha & bha in them. I just recently started using vitamin c as well. Unfortunately, i have to stay within a budget so higher price items aren't on my "ability" list currently but I'm trying with what I have. I've been doing this for thought 2yrs now and I only do it every 3 days. It has made A world of difference to my skin. I have fewer break outs, my skin is soft, no more flakey dry skin, and I look so much more healthier. I've been doing the vitamin c for about 6 months and I'm noticing my sun damage around my eyes have begun fading. Which I'm super excited for! They were getting hella dark. 😳 I wore sunglasses for years but it never occurred to me that the sun would still hit my skin from the sides. Idky I thought it wouldn't lol but that's where my sun damage is. Thank you for explaining this topic. I will be sharing this with my bff as she has finally decided to start taking Care of her skin as well and was considering the expensive stuff. Good info as always. Love hearing from you and learning more. 💕

I luv hw honest u r . Luv frm Canada❤️

yes from some point of view you are right that using skin moisturizer makes skin addicted to it, but in same time we every day wash ourselves with so harsh and dead water , unfortunately in USA the water is bad, and dries the skin a lot! and to choose moisturize or not is better to use moisturizer cream

Ok i get ya. Oo Lactic acid. Yes more details. Always ready to learn. Love your attitude Beautiful. The tattoo I love that on your lower arm. With the Eye. Thankyou Cody xxx💝💞💕🐕🐾🐾

Very informative thank you Cody!

Thank you. What would be good products for the body. You’re great btw.

All the over counter stuff does not work anti aging creams are a waste of money I use Retian A from a doctor and sun screen

Love the show

I love your channel!

Your the best Cody. Thank u

Thankyou Sweetheart! You're a doll! 😘❤

Waiting for Montarbo skincare to send to Australia one day soon! 🙏🏼

So, i was wondering about the skin on my hands. I use lots of moisture but i think that i will look into some retinol products for body instead. The skin on my face is good because i found you back in November when i started retin a and am using good stuff on my face but the stuff i use on my face is expensive so i hadn't wanted to use it on my hands. Anyway, thanks for all the useful info and not wasting my time with bad advice. You're one person on youtube that i really listen to at this point.

Hi Cody what about old skin (50). Is this the same theory? Thanks!

Hi Cody thank you so much for getting back to me one last question Hyaluronic acid before or after vitamin c in the morning much love

I was sucked into buying filorga products, haven’t used it yet, guess I will be returning it after watching your video. 😂

Hi I just found you and can't stop watching. I just turned 60 and want pharmaceutical grade skincare for fine lines and wrinkles, aging skin. But I work for a Healthcare industry and we had to take a cut in pay and hours. Plus they took our monthly bonuses. Can you PLEASE tell me something I can use that doesn't cost a fortune. Thanks ❤

YES PLEASE... MAKE A VIDEO ON PROVEN ACTIVES THAT HELP TRUE ANTIAGING. AS ALWAYS.. ♥️🥰♥️ I ALWAYS APPRECIATE YOU.. THX FOR SHARING.

What do u recommend for a anti aging cream? Or what product has the 2 ingredients you named??? I’m so lost now 😬😬😏

Is there anything *affordable* that’ll help get rid of or decrease the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles?

Thank you soooo much for this info no one tells us that I’m 56 ❤️❤️❤️

okay, agree, moisturizing is the basic thing to do daily, it is skin maintenance; But it does not regenerate in depth. Retinoic acid does, but not necessarily an expensive cream will change the skin. Thank you for this video 😀

hi there, i'm 53 yld with sun damage, could you PLEASE help me with products you suggest could work. thank you for addressing this myth apprciated

I’m loving you more & more

excellent video. In fact I just heard something similar from Dr. Zein Obagi! I have rosacea and perioral dermatitis, I was told I cannot use anything anti aging. Is there any hope for me?

Thank you again Cody for your truly genuine honest integrity.

Can i use 10%glycolic acid cream one the alternate night while using tretinoin on the other night.... I mean one night 10% glycolic n other night tretinoin.... Plz answer sir...... N plz say how I use n when I use lightning whitening ingredients with glycolic n salicylic and tretinoin... M so confused

Totally agree with you 👍👍 lots of love from India ☺☺

Can I mix retina A with other products? & if it can or cannot mix, can I know what products it is? Pleaseeeee help me... Please, please please...

Anti aging and moisturizers are separate thing that has its own purpose. Moisturizers is to give u an instant moisture, while anti aging works by slowing down or prevent the process of getting old. It can be in any form depends on u. Its just so happen that for u to look young, u must be moist like flower bath in morning dew.

Can u pliz suggest a gud mosturizer for oily skin

Thank you so much

my skin has always been dry and flaky what treatments and products do you recomend plz.😭

So what product should men buy ? I’m straightforward I just need to know the name of the cream…

yes please make a another video 👌

Please suggest a good Retinol cream or oil ☺️❤️

Great video👍Thank You for keeping us from being victims of the marketing machine.

I'm 54 and broke my arm 3 months ago. Needless to say my skin care routine became limited. So all I focused on was my Retin A , sunscreen,and Glycolic acid products . Wow I was amazed at my cell turnover during that 2 months! I'll never slather my face with all the anti aging creams on my face again. Beauties you don't need them! It took a broken arm to let me see the light. I'm not sure but I think another small factor was I rarely touched my face throughout the day 🤔

love love love

I regret not using under eye cream regularly in my 20s. Do you think under eye moisturizing and other creams do much to prevent wrinkles from forming, or are they more to lessen the appearance of wrinkles and lines that have already formed?

What can I do about craping skin and bumps/ orange peel skin around my chin and mouth

Thanks Cody for all the priceless information that you share with us ❤ I wish I could book an appointment with you to help me deal with my very sensitive skin. I am 29 yet still have acne. I also can't apply sunscreen or foundation or even use a cleanser without getting irritated. And I still can't find a moisturizer that fits my skin. What is wrong with me?😂 One more question, when should I start using anti aging creams? I never tried any.

What do you think of olay or a cream to help stimulate collagen

Can you please tell me a product that will help with fine lines and wrinkles. Desperate, tired momma

Cody I just love you I just spent 400 dollars on SkinCeuticals vitamin c and their triple lipid 2:4:2 moisturizer plus this other serum are these products any good I heard Hyaluronic acid is a great serum but do not know where to incorporate it into my routine I do use tretinion 1% at night I’m so confused did not mean to ramble please help this 61 year old woman much love

Thank you....

I break out with Glycolic acid so much... every time. Purging period waited and what not. I don't get it why.. does it suit oily acne-prone skin???

I am a snake when I get retin A peelies. I put a lot of moisturizer on bc I feel so tight and dry. Am I doing it wrong?

How much is “too much” moisturizing? Morning and evening?

What is best skincare regime for a smokers ageing and dull skin

Hello gorgeous friend! I’m always down for a teaching moment from you, so yes! I would love another skincare video from you! I have learned sooo much from you already. I know that “ moisturizer” creams are basically sealants to keep moisture in your skin. I would like to know how you feel about rice powder exfoliates. Thank you honey for another wonderful video 😁✌️

words from the master :)

I barely taking care of my skin and everybody said I have baby skin lol. I think it’s gene too. Most of us Asian ladies looks young even though we don’t do nothing.

Nice

Does The Anti Aging Cream Works For Old People

Is it true moisturizer ages the skin

My favorite anti aging is sun screen.

Good video. This trend of “ Water Creams “ is laughable. You might as well just spray Mineral water in your face all day.

Everything burns my skin. I’m so scared to try anything. My cheeks are constantly in pain . I’m exhausted.

Details please, thank you.
