The BEST Skincare Products of All Time

Wow! I'm 43, so when you said you were 44, my jaw dropped. I thought you were in your 20s or early 30s. I'll start following your channel for skin care.

I love that your doing this without make-up. You true beauty shines through! 😘

I normally do not respond ,but just wanted to thank you for your content. You gave alot of options to suit everyones needs. Personally I prefer both luxury and drugstore options, like you do, so thanks ❤

I keep my skin care simple and inexpensive. I also live in Houston. I often get stopped and people ask what type of skin care I use. I try to stay away from any fragrances. Although my complexion is genetic, I preserve and maintain it. I never sleep with make up on. I use sunscreen. I double cleanse with Albolene, which is inexpensive and all these balms these days are trying to imitate it. I then rinse that with CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser. Sometimes I use Amlactin 12% lactic acid on my face and body. I also use Differin gel and Retin-A/Tretinoin. I moisturize when and if needed. Patience and consistency are key 🔑 to getting results long-term.

Hi Marlena! I just want to chime in to say how much I respect you!! One thing I’ve learned from years of following you is just how absurdly fickle people are, and how people (especially women) LOVE to tear others down. I worry you’re under so much stress…I could never have such a “public” job. I hope this message from one fan who thinks you’re GREAT brings you a smile today!!! ❤😊

I'm so glad I came across you, Marlena! I purchased everything in your video and found that after taking the time to price search, prices were actually lower on the retailers' sites due to sales and/or discounts. You've been spot on with everything and I'm thrilled!

Thanks for your tips! I wear makeup everyday too because of work and I agree with double cleansing. Fortunately, I have combo (oily in the-zone) so I’m not too worried about getting my skin too dry. I use the cleanser by Laroche for oily skin and it’s very gentle and non-stripping. There are some comments about the high end stuff you use, and I don’t get the negativity. There are a ton of products that are affordable out there, Marlena is just sharing her recommendations and her routine. She’s not saying copy everything she does. Let’s be kind, people! (And to all a Merry Christmas 😊)

Thanks for sharing your favs. It's great especially knowing you've repurchased the same products. I appreciate you so much !

Marlena, thanks so much for this video!! Came at the perfect time❤ love the editing ❤

Yes to this skincare video.😍 As a woman who is also 40+ an intentional skincare routine is a must!🙌🏽

Love this. Saving for when I run out of my current products. Really appreciate your content lately.

I've been a longtime follower of your channel, and this video is exactly what I needed to take my skincare routine to the next level. Your recommendations are always spot-on

Helllllo Marlena!! Thank you for a new skin care video - I’m getting a little bit older (39 to 40) so really looking for actual quality skin products!
