  • Ruth pls help what's your favourite radiance serum or overnight treatment for dull skin as I have been sick and my skin looks uck.

  • @CocoChanelContessa Liquid Gold! See skincare routine vid xx

  • Yonka?!

  • Bioderma, Avene, and Le Roche Posay are available at some of the Shoppers Drug Mart stores in Canada, for any Canadians watching and wanting :)

  • Hi Ruth, what do you think of this kit on feelunique? I'm thinking of getting it so I can try out Caudalie.for skincare.

    /p/Caudalie-Summer-Travel-Kit-­2011?utm_campaign=sale-update-­3008&utm_content=1054002919378­&utm_medium=email&utm_source=E­mailvision

  • @fluffsies that looks really nice!!! xx

  • please help me get to 100 subscribers for a giveaway! <3

  • OMG WERE YOU ON THAT CHANNEL FOUR PROGRAMME ABOUT MODELS AGESSSS AGO!?

  • @marthashingler YES!

  • Thank u for this video!! Do u think that Bioderma is very different than the Vichy micellular solution? I have the Vichy brand but wasnt sure how much better Bioderma is? Thanks for your awesome videos!

    Xoxo from the USA

  • @bluemchen2009 the Bioderma works out cheaper because it's such a huge bottle, but in terms of performance there's probably not a lot in it... x

  • Hi Ruth, I have been going crazy looking for something I've seen on your website few months ago, can you help me please :) It was a nice Casio watch, kind of vintage looking. That website was brilliant for other stuff as well but I can't find it anymore! If you know what I am talking about please let me know. Alpha-H Liquid gold set is amazing on my skin! Thank you so much for everything you do, you're great!xx

  • @fortera21 Keep Calm and Shop you mean? Try searching "gifts for men" - there are less things to sift through and I'm sure I put it in both categories! x

  • im pretty happy that almost all of these are readily available in canada (or the part where i live)

  • This is so helpful, thank you!

  • I am so glad you did this video :) my favourite french brands are La Roche- Posay and Vichy

  • Ruth u r the best!!!!! Everyone I walk into a pharmacy abroad I go ape crap choosing items my husband has to come in and pry stuff away from me since I have no justification as to why i chose this or that etc. Thank you nw I know what to focus on. Ur a life saver.

  • question....about embryolisse (sp?) i purchased it via amazon about a year ago. i love the texture and the smell. had always heard rave reviews. learned that you're supposed to allow it to sink in.etc. not rub it in. but am i doing something wrong? my skin feels really dry when i wake up in the morning. or mid-day. everyone loves it. i have combo-drier skin...but if it's hot out or something is has too much stuff in it, i can get oily. i am very combo with a tendency to sensitive/drier side?

  • @mantronixtube hmmm. Not everything suits everyone - perhaps this just isn't the one for you! It's not a particularly complex or advanced formula - maybe you need something more sophisticated! x

  • Ruth, I'd love to see your entire product collection. It must be massive!

  • Nuxe!

    I also strongly recommend Terra Humana. It's relatively new and harder to find but same style as Nuxe but all organic (which by the way, Bio Beaute by Nuxe SUCKS!).

    Also, Science & Mer's "Ecume Lactee" is my holy grail product! Every girl should use it! Available in parapharmacies rather than pharmacies.

    IDC (canadian brand) is new in parapharmacies and AMAZING!

    Great video! I also think french cosmetics are some of the BEST out there! I stalk the chain called "Parashop".

  • you must spend so much on products! or do companies send them to you?

  • @Missmaliboco it's a big mixture! I get loads given to me on shoots too. x

  • hey! it would really really mean alot to me if you could support my new channel by checking out my videos and subscribing!! :D thank you so much, sophie xx

  • You're my favorite vlogger because you always place more importance on skincare than make-up. :)

  • I LOVE THIS! I might go to France, just because...

  • Your skin looks so amzing right now!:O Fresh and glowing:) xo

  • SO SO SO happy you made this video. Last time I was in Paris I was so overwhelmed with the pharmacy selection I didn't buy a thing. This time I will be prepared!!! Going this coming spring... so excited. Thanks again Ruth, you are amazing!!!

  • Nuxe!!!! Nuxe is amazing and more widely available than some others!

  • @bankomeister11 OMG I can't believe I forgot to include NUXE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK. 2nd instalment then.... x

  • @bankomeister11 Nuxe is great but lately they reformulated some of their classics and their organic line was a true disappointment. I've had 3 creams in my rotation for years: Creme Etincellante, Creme Nirvanesque & Reve de Miel. Every single one has been reformulated to my great displeasure so i won't repurchase :(

  • I couldn't tell which la Roche posay effaclar product you were holding up. The one that removes blackheads? Do tell! I must buy it!

  • @bankomeister11 the Effaclar Duo xx

  • @bankomeister11 Effaclar is a great line! Helped me out when i used to break out. In fact my dermatologist recommended i use the soap and remove my make up with Crealine H2O.

    The Effaclar soap is so cheap as well and really clears the skin out without stripping it. LOVES IT!

    Oh and for body products: Roger Cavailles and ROC! ;)

  • Yes!!!... Please do reviews on Jurlique... Love ur reviews...

    Because of you I bought Bioderma and washes my face with muslim cloth...:D:D

  • Ruth, thank you for sharing french oriducts with us. I live in the state so some of products you have there I order them on amazon but shipping is just outrageous. I love caudali tooooo!

  • @lastnightdinner the links in the info will take you to stockists who often deliver free to the states xx

  • your skin looks amazing in this video! xx

  • watch?v=U8ftqmDOlxQ

    OMG ruth they chopped off all your hair! You looked amazing though

  • @GagaChristina ha! Yes, that was a looong time ago now! x

  • I love this video ! I am addicted to la roche posay products !

  • I think it's also important to mention that "pharmacie" is different from "parapharmacie" because most of the pharmacies only carry a few brands from what is available in the parapharmacies and also it's much more expensive because the dispensers decide of the prices from their own pharmacie.

    Brilliant video and very good recommendations :)

  • Yesterday I was in London at Boots and I was really surprised to see Avène and Caudalie ! It's great ! I thought you only had la roche posay !

  • Great video, I'm going to look more into those products! Also..you look like you have lost weight? Xx

  • @MaiaxxQuin take a look at the skincare routine video (last one I think?) - those are kind of my staple products and then I test new things out every third day! It's pretty much my full-time job now, so I just have to get on with it! x

  • Have you ever used gernetics before? They have really nice skincare products

  • Is Avene from France? Anyway what do you think of it. Cos I find that i'm always torn between Avene vs La Roche Posay vs Vichy.

  • @galiciadba I love them all! Yes, Avene is French. Nice for soothing products! x

  • You can find all these brands in Greece! They are very popular here and considered very high quality! :)

  • Loved this video! Found some new French brands to check out. French pharmacies are my absolute favourite! I could spend hours in them!

  • great vid. thanks. is it wrong to plan a holiday based on where you can buy the best skincare?

  • @sonyafby ha! Not at all... x

  • Ruth, your videos are wonderful. My favorite are your skincare videos. I was wondering if you might consider making a video about facials (which types you prefer, how often you get them, etc.) and also any skincare treatments that you might receive (glycolic peels/masks, laser resurfacing, etc.). Your skin is absolutely gorgeous and a video of this sort would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Ruth.

  • @CulturaPA oh great idea! I'll add that to my list! xxx

  • i'm going to paris tomorrow! this is a godsend, thank you!

  • @asplanned26 have fun! xxx

  • Have you tried Caudelie face care? are they any good?

  • @iloverien1 yes, wonderful! Vinoperfect range is beautiful, I think, and I love the Premier Cru eye cream! x

  • For anyone in Australia, Chemist Warehouse stocks basically the entire Avene range!

  • @lkf91 thanks for that! x

  • Dear Ruth, I love watching your videos. I must admit, however, to be truly surprised when you mentioned Embryolisse. Altough I am well aware of how ubiquitous&famous said product is, its main ingredient is basically mineral oil, something which does absolutely nothing for one's skin but sitting on the top layer as any other common emollient would do. Having, as you do, an exquisite eye for great products I was wondering why Embryolisse should be a choice. Thanks& keep up the good work!

  • @kimchitree yes, it's very basic, but it's used SO much on shoots, it has just become one of my staples over the years! Nostalgia, perhaps?! x

  • Hi Ruth, great vid! Embryolisse is also my HG moisturizer. Have you tried Garancia's Pschitt Magique range?

  • @plumiish no, is it nice? xx

  • what about vegetal oil

  • WE have a new cream here came out last yt- light fraxon- it takes the sunlight and turns into red light therapy- to help the skin with anti ageing--- i have yet to try it- it next on my list- but what i LOVE IS mixing aspirins -plain on cheap uncoated asprins in your fav face wash- what a differance you will feel!!! great vid- x shelly

  • @magicadespell56 ooh, I shall have to try that! x

  • i love french skincare. they make the best products!

  • Ruth, your videos are absolutely fantastic! My favorites are your videos regarding skincare. I was wondering if you might consider making a video featuring facials (what types you prefer, how often you get them, etc.) and any skin care treatments that you might prefer (peels, laser resurfacing, glycolic peels/masks, etc.). This would be so helpful. Thank you for your wonderful videos Ruth.

  • Yes, Ruth !! You are a godsend! Thanks so much for this video, I'm currently living in Paris and only recently got into skincare. This video is gold! I'd love to hear more product favs from you. Next stop, the pharmacy !

  • excellent video. thanks!

  • I reeeally like your voice!

  • What eyeshadow are you wearing? LOVE IT!

  • @ragpag123 estee lauder duo in 'moons' xx

  • Hi there!

    Sorry to bother you, but what was the name for the blackhead thing you mentioned?

  • @heyitsaislinn it's called Effaclar Duo! If you click the stockist link in the info it will take you to Escentual, then type effaclar in the search box, it'll come up! xx

  • What's your opinion on Vichy?

  • @ispinintights I like Vichy a lot! I am currently trialling some products due to be launched at the end of the year and they are excellent! x

  • favorite beauty guru/editor/guide EVER. i like watching all the gurus, esp richie nickel...but i've been with most of the best magazines for eons and i wanted to update my look...after doing kind of the same thing for a while. (i'm in your age range...so it helps)...but you're the only one that i feel i can look to. it's another level. oh i love lisa eldridge, too. can't forget that. but i truly love your taste. amazing. :) thanks so much for sharing with all. because not all are as generous.x

  • @mantronixtube thanks, that's very nice to know! x

  • If only you had uploaded this last week....

  • I'm from germany and u get al lot of this products in german pharmacys also!

  • I got a lovely French product the other week... It's by 'Institut Karite', called 'extra gentle cleansing water'. I managed to get it for £6 (250ml) on an online sale site. I've used it twice now & it's really good! I have really sensitive eyes and sometimes my eyes are red & watery after taking off make up but not with this! Ordered bioderma after u tweeted about the zuneta free ship code, going to compare ingredients & stuff when I get it :) But yeah it's a great cleansing water xxx

  • @fuckthediet let me know how it is! x

  • Dear Ruth, love this video as usual !! you are so helpful and your videos are always my first to watch!!! I have a question regarding french skincare brand. Have you ever try Fresh? I have been using Fresh few years ago, their cleanser, toner..My modeling coach was French and she recommended to use Fresh and I was suffering acne at that time. I really want to know your opinion about Fresh and thanks advance Ruth!!! oxoxox~~~

  • @Highfashionmodel15 the ones that do the brown sugar scrub? xx

  • Thank you so much for this video Ruth!! When I finally go on my trip to Paris, i'll be all set at not only the duty-free but the french pharmacies!! thanks a million! x

  • i was in shock when you said in a previous video that you're 30!!! Judging by that and your skin's look I'm definitely gonna take your skincare advice to heart :)

  • I'm 17 years old and I wanted to know when I should start using serums and eye creams

  • @ferreelzzsedra well it depends on the ingredients and your skin concerns really. You don't need to be using anything with anti-ageing ingredients yet, really - just a good moisturiser with SPF and a basic eye cream. I'll be doing a teen skincare video very soon!! xx

  • @ferreelzzsedra i'm 20 and have been using an eye cream since I was about 17. I think an eye cream is probably best to start with in your late teens or early 20's. Serums I think you can start whenever you want. I started using a serum when it was really cold in the winter as my skin was drying out and the serum was the only thing that helped without thick layers of moisturisers.

  • Ohhhhhh, and can you do an overall Liz Earle review, not just the cleanse and polish, but also the other stuff too? masks and all ...?!???!!!!

  • I love your videos as you are very informative :) Thank you !! And i wanted to ask, about Bioderma. I use their green line for oily/combination skin. And know I'm wandering which product i should buy: "Purifying renovating concentrate" or "Corrective care, skin with blemishes" ? Daily i use their foaming gel and Eucerin DermoPurifyer creme-gel :)

  • @inridute do you have a lot of blemishes? If not, I'd go for the purifying, by the sounds of it! I haven't tried them though - let me know how they are! x

  • WOW, beautiful eye makeup! By the way: cn you do a video on the new Chanel autumn eye colours "Illusion d'ombre"???? Pleeeeeeaaaase!

  • @MsGwynethPaltrow I will be! xx

  • your skin is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo perfect!

  • @LostInThisWorld11 haha! Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! x

  • thank god for this video. I am currently in France and I've been on a haunt for skincare products I could buy in a pharmacie. What a coincidence

  • i am thinking of buying some Bioderma skincare products: face wash, moisturising cream and that make up remover. it's quite hard to find in my country, but i found a pharmacy which have these products

  • I saw that the Covent Garden Pharpacy stock up on a few french brand.

  • Brilliant video, as always. Thanks. I personally love La Roche Posay & Avene.

  • if you think French women take their skincare seriously, then have a peek inside the realm of Asian skincare – these women take skincare SERIOUSLY indeed! haha ;-P

  • @visceralanding haha! Yes - I have worked in Japan twice, it was an eye-opener to say the least! xx

  • Don't know if you've tried Jurlique... I think it's way better than l'Occitane...:D:D never seen anyone done reviews on Jurlique :(

  • @yvescui maybe I should?! x

  • Will Bioderma remove water-resistent sunblock? (anyone can answer if they know!) Thanks!

  • @visceralanding perhaps not, actually! I'd use something like a hot cloth cleanser (cleanse & Polish) with a muslin cloth. xx

  • Great video! X

  • Hi Ruth! I love ur 'waffling on', it's one of the reasons it fun to watch u!...Wut was the very last eye cream product? Is that ur fav eye cream or just a good one?

  • @weasalw on this video you mean? x

  • @AModelRecommends Yes, the last product on this vid.

  • @weasalw oh, that's Lierac DioptiCalm.xx

  • i really loved this video! i am a true fan of your tips! :)

  • haha, I guess it's a plus then that I live in France! I'll have a good look next time I go to my local Pharmacy :P

  • I love Avene products.

  • Hi Ruth!Great video as always!I've been in the lookout for a good basic moisturiser but I have very difficult skin(prone to clogged pores,and breakouts :/ )so I think the Embryolisse wouldn't suit me because it has mineral oils in it.Do you think the Institut Esthederm Pure System Shine Control Fluid can be a little drying at times ?Because usually that is the case with mattifying products

  • @greatbitch8891 I don't find it drying at all! Have you tried la Roche Posay? They have some good products for oily skin, and also Alpha H do some GREAT things for difficult skin! x

  • YES this is exactly what i need. i'm staying in france for 2 months and i can't wait to try out all this skincare!

  • I've used Bioderma and it's great. I have very sensitive skin and i didn't break me out. I also liked the Uriage lip balm, it was great.

    I need to stock up on Avene Eau Thermale.

    It's weird, pharmacies in my country are full of French brands. Which I like, the prices are very reasonable.

  • The caudalie fleur de vigne is my favorite fragrance for Summer, it's very fresh an light! Also the handcreme is fantastic and smells very fresh an clean.

  • Hey Ruth, thanks for that video! I got one question: Have you used L'Occitane products before? I've been using the face toner a lot recently and I absolutely love it and I'd like to know what you think about the brand. x

  • @retoelf LOVE l'Occitane!! Am testing the Angelica at the mo and it's great!! xx

  • @AModelRecommends Oh! Can you post a review about it? I'm currently using Immortelle Brightening Shield SPF40, and the SA told me I should try the Angelica spf shield next to compare. But I don't know. I was thinking about getting something else from the Angelica line, and see how that goes.

    Are you using Effaclar K or Duo? I don't know which one to try first.

  • @agepe7 Duo! I have the Angelica SPF40, it's really lovely! xx

  • i love love love ur skincare videos... pls keep them coming!!!!

  • oooh and one question that I've been meaning to ask you for a while now: can you work on an iPhone app? I love reading your blog when I'm on the go or waiting somewhere or when I'm home lazing around. I think it would come in super handy!

    x

  • @zickzackhosenkack but what would it do? Just be the same site in iPhone format? I was thinking about it, but not sure what I would offer differently! You can save the site in as an icon on your homepage which would probably just be the same thing! If you have any ideas let me know xxx

  • @AModelRecommends I think it would make a huge difference if one wouldn't have to zoom in and out of articles all the time. But that's probably the only benefit. Well if you ever do decide to get one I'll be the first to buy it :)

  • @zickzackhosenkack ah I see! OK, let me dwell on it. It's about £10,000 to get one made properly with all the bells and whistles, so I'll be saving up for a while! x

  • @AModelRecommends oh my. that is a lot. hell of a lot actually!

  • Oh my! more skin products Ruth.. you've so many, how long do you use any one product? I've been using the liquid gold for less than a week.. & I can see its benefits. But I'm wondering how you can tell how well each product works as you use so many.. I think you must have genetically great skin, more so than all those products. Thanks for sharing those with us... as I'm sure there is something for everyone.x

  • @TheSaintlydevilish I test for a few months if I'm doing a big write-up like with Alpha-H, but also remember that I have been modelling for ten years and doing AMR for only one - I have a LOT of products to talk about that I have tried over the years! xxx

  • I love your skin care videos but they are never really geared to my skin type (oily), do you think you could possibly do one regarding products for that skin type :)

    Because your so informative and fun to watch!

  • @xAdrianaxL yes! I did one last year for oily skin, and they are always geared more towards oily-combi than dry as I have combination skin myself! But I shall do another dedicated video soon x

  • Would you recommend Vichy as a good skincare brand ? I have just recently started using the Aqualia Thermal range(mostly paraben free) for dry skin and i love it so much already. I also love the vichy 3in1 cleanser for using with the clarisonic mia which i also recently purchased.

  • @beautyjunky86 yes - Vichy should have been in this video but it was getting too long!! xx

  • @AModelRecommends woah ! that was a quick response :-) Thanks so much Ruth xxx

  • I nearly jumped when I saw this video popping up in my subscription box! so so helpful!

    thanks much Ruth :)

  • I love your makeup here! Can you do a video? x

  • i have to stop watching your videos.... it makes me spend WAY too much money. in just the past 2 weeks alone lets see.... bioderma X3 = $60, Alpha-H kit= $51, Gi

    orgio Armani Eyes to Kill #6= $32. And that's just the ones I can remember!!! O.O

  • @aalamode ooops!! xx

  • Here, Avene, La Roche Posay products are found in drugstores.. and so yeah they are halfway between expensive and cheap. I have never found any inclination to try them. But thanks to you, that is about to change! :D

  • Have to say I absolutely love this video. I need to go to France and Switzerland for business in a couple of weeks and this is just an excuse to get shopping for perfect products again, thank you!

  • Talking about French products, have you seen the autumn edition of Chanel makeup? Apparently they have some incredible eyeshadows and since you reviewed Chanel a couple of times, could you do it again maybe? :)

  • @GabrielleNeeliene I shall see what I can do! xx

  • great video! very interesting!!

  • Du you like sisley?

    If you do, what do you think is a good product? :)

  • @somerhaldersalvatore yes! The eye mask is AMAZING and I am using their tan optimizer at the moment! xx

  • hi, ive only recently found your channel but have already been out to buy some of the products you have recommended. i really rate your opinions!

    im 18 so that means i have skitty skin thats prone to breakouts, one min its dry the next its oily. it also means im a student so cant afford to buy several £20+ products.

    i would love a video on any advice you could offer me and people like me.

  • @ninjakittyX yes, there's one coming up with affordable teen skincare! x

  • @AModelRecommends perfect! thankyouu x

  • Does Bioderma test on animals?

  • @Dorothy124 I saw something on the internet about this - nobody knew! Does anyone on here know whether they do? xx

  • how was your camping trip?

  • @annadiego cancelled! x

  • YES, here's the best of France

    Actually my skin routine is all about Esthederm ♥, Bioderma, Avène and ... Dermalogica (I know, little american brand here but so worth it ! )

    Did you know Bioderma was produced by the same laboratories as Esthederm ? Same owner.

    That's why the products are so great !

    Bioderma has a wonderful moisturizing serum, please try it if you can !

    Esthederm is the best brand I've ever tried, creams, serums, masks, their Eau Cellulaire is a big must have !

    xoxo from France

  • @vanatlantys yes, same lab apparently! Love both brands - I shall get the serum next time I go to Pairs, thanks!! xx

  • I've bought bioderma and it broke me out.

  • @doubtfuldreamer no way! That's a shame, it's so convenient! x

  • I know you look after your skin very well (obviously) and dont tan loads, so how the heck do you have such lovely glowy brown skin! Do you self tan? If so what self tan do you use?

  • @411clo no, it's natural! I tan very easily but I always wear spf so it's more of a slow-forming all-year-round kind of colour! xx

  • i love how thorough you are!!! so many people don't know what they're talking about like you do! thanks for taking the time to do your research!

  • Great information! La Roche-Posse you can actually buy on the Walgreens website, which for the price of most of there products you can get free shipping as well. Thanks again for the amazing info!

  • YOU ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN I HAVE EVER SEEN. WOW.

  • can you do a skincare video but kind of like... what foods to eat to get and maintain healthy skin?

  • fourth

  • Comment removed

  • Ha! Perfect! Thank you, I'm moving to France in 3 weeks and have been going nuts trying to research what to get when I do get there, but have been coming up with nothing. Thanks Ruth! Hero! :) x

  • @mariannelarsen you'll be totally spoilt for choice! LUCKY YOU moving to France! xxx
