  • -3 the hair dude

  • Can you put on Moustorizer? If so, should I put it on before or after applying this product? Please reply I really want to know I suffer from really bad oily skin!

  • i been reading about this and i saw that your only can use oil-free make up while using it. is that true?

    and my friend got the one from the dollar store and she said it works really good.

  • hi! I saw your vblog and went out and purchased the CVS brand of Milk of Magnesia.I tried it 2 diff ways.one day i put my moisturizer on & then the dabbed the milk of magnesia on my face with the wedge sponge.on another day just used it after my toner.However, my face was still getting oily!perhaps not to the extent it was before, but still oily.is there something I did incorrectly? FYI I also used a Rimmel primer (the one you use =)) before I put on the Milk of Magnesia...suggestions?

  • i love your hair here:)

  • Wow you're so cute! And that was a great review. *subscribed!*

  • And mine dosent smell at all

  • I got the philipps one and it's 12 fl ounces for only 4 bucks at target:)

  • Is there anywhere in the UK that i can get this, i can't seem to find it anywhere :(

  • This is a very "sick" video. =p

  • Ever since watching this video when you first posted it, Ive used it every day, Its a god send <3

  • Love the' you can also use it as a a acne mask....or for constipation relief-ohhh oh'- LOL

  • Awesome! I never heard of this. Thank you for informing us all about this.

  • this really works! Thank you thank you thank you.. ! Finally, bye bye oil.

  • @carefreeforever You really disturb me...

  • Both girls and guys can use MoM, just be sure to blend it really well so you don't have white on your face. For makeup wearers, use MoM as a primer, so put it on BEFORE any makeup.

  • What happens if you use cherry flavor

  • @LiveeLaughLovee15 you become gay and have to suck a bears unwashed cock

  • @LiveeLaughLovee15 I've tried using cherry, but it feels kinda sticky in your face... its better to use just the regular milk of magnessia

  • Hey , I'm fom Germany and we do not have Milk of Magnesia in Stores here...

    know i found Philips Milk of Magnesia MINT in a German Online Shop.

    Does it have the same effect on oily skin as the Original??? greetz

  • Right now I'm using a mask of lemon juice, salt & flour, letting it dry on my face & wiping it off with a washcloth soaked in hot water. it makes my face baby smooth but it gets oily so quickly, I'll have to try this trick after that & see how it works. PS, I'm 21 & still suffer from severe acne, even tried a med that should have cleared it up, it was the strongest acne med you can get, and i had to go to the doc every month to check protein lvls because its hard on the body, natural all the way

  • @momothemost Benzac is the only thing that works for acne, get the 5% gel

  • I know milk of magnesia is good but i can´t find it in Iceland, what can i use instead, or where can i find it here?

  • um can guys use this lol?

  • I have super crazy oily skin and I tend to get bad acne but usually on my forehead which tends to always be the oiliest part. I actually just use a powder foundation and then a all over face powder on my face. I was just wondering if that's okay to use after applying the milk of magnesia? Please answeerr :) thanx!

  • doredoreg9 try ebay :)

  • seriously where can i get MOM in malaysia?

  • Hey I use a tinted moisturizer so would I put the MOM on Before OR After? Thanks for answering !

  • they say that getting a thinner moisturiser like milk liquid kind is better because its thinner and lighter on your face and so your pores can absorb it better and they say that moisturizer works as a primer and make up remover

  • I absolutely LOVE this. It works great and I would recommend it.

  • I'm 15 and I wouldn't say I have EXTREMELY oily skin, but with the make-up I wear it tends to get pretty oily. I've been using oil blots for the past year now and they work pretty good for about an hour but I need more than that because i mean come on, i get a little embarrassed having oily skin during school and I'm tired of constantly having to go to the bathroom to reapply my make-up. I just got milk of magnesia and i put a little on my nose and within a few seconds the oil was GONE!

  • This doesn't work for me :c very sad .

  • Thanks for the review. You don't know how happy I am for this.

  • I find beauty in constipation relief, even before this video. That's probably due to the fact that my diet is 90% cheese and soda.

  • LOL at the details :)

  • I'm going to the market right now :D

  • aww, you are adorable :)! such an informative review. just curious, do you just apply the product straight to your face? like there's no.. adding water to the liquid or anything like that, right? once you buy it, you open it, and just apply :)? i know that these are common sense questions, but i just want to make sure Dx! thank you haha :)

  • can i use the M.O.M instead of primer?

  • After I saw this video I went out and bought a bottle of MOM and I have to tell you, IT WORKS!!! For the past two days, I've not had to blot my face or powder it at all. Just amazing!!

    Thank you again for the inspiration and the great review video!! :)

  • AWESOME VIDEO!!!

    Hands down, the BEST cosmetic review I've ever seen here on YouTube! Going out to pick up a bottle of MOM now!

    I just subscribed to your channel as well. Keep up the GREAT WORK, you're terrific!

  • Hello!.Like a previous comment made,I love the fact,that you just get right into what the video is about.Keep it up.Does milk of magnesia still works wonders for your oil control.

  • we have the same problem so im going to try this..WHERE CAN YOU BUY IT?!

  • luved ur video, u have so much energy! : )

  • what happens If I put on the flavored one??

  • Very well spoken. Keep up the good work....

    .

  • Did you know you can use chafing gel as a primer too.? XD

  • Is there supposed to be aluminum hydroxide in the milk of magnesia?

    TT TT I don't know if the aluminum hydroxide is supposed to be here...

  • Hey, your shirt is soooo cute! can you plz tell me where you got and how much?

  • so u could put it straight on pimples and leave it on over night???

  • NICE HAIRBOW!!!

  • Your so pretty!! can you do hair and make up video>

  • are you supose to keep it cold?

  • Can you use the milk of magnesia, then apply your face moisturizer?!

  • Your hair is soo cute! :)

  • Wow...never heard about this before.

  • i bought exact's milk of magnesia...and it says to shake before use.....does yours say that too?

  • you use this as a regular daily face routine...but for me i dont have oily skin but actually dry skin so should i use the milk magnesium?? like i have dry skin but acne so will this help my acne go away please help :) :)

  • You are so helpful! Thank you so much!

  • after watching this i when to the store and bought some!!!!!!!!

  • i wanna try this but i dont like the idea of using face primer too

  • Cool clip! THANKS for posting! I've heard of some people mixing milk of magnesia with vodka. That concoction is called a PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER.

  • sodium hypochlorite i'm pretty sure that's what bleach is made of... so i would thinkg that your alternative is waaaaay better, thanks for it, i'll try it! :D

  • @ the comment above: I think she has more helpful tips than MP.

  • i liked.

  • Comment removed

  • would the mint knd work better than the original for a spot treatment?

  • I know this sounds funny, but the only Millk of Magnesia I have is cherry flavored... Would that have a different effect? Or Is the regular flavor my best bet?

  • @ExoticChocolat i think the flavored kind would cause irritation to your skin

  • I never wear makeup because my face is so oily I literally have to wash it four to five times a day...also, makeup irritates my skin. I was wondering, can I apply milk of magnesia and skip the makeup part? or will I look silly? lol :)

  • do u war circle lenses?

  • Tthis didn't work for my oily skin, but it did work for my acne, even though I wasn't focused on that. I still use it almost everyday as a mask at night and a mask in the morning,and I wipe it off after 15 minutes. So, I'm still on my hunt for something that would help my oily skin :/

  • @DivaAngel7J you could try this: pat cornstarch on your face using a blush brush or powder brush. be careful not to breathe it in though. don't get it super close to your eyes either.

  • please do how u did ur hair if his vid love your vid

  • wow ur vid rocks! i love ur voice lol so can i apply this right after cleansing and then apply my sunscreen and foundation and its called regular MOM but its not phillips but it has 3 ingredients but not sodium hypochloriate its like some other ing but there MH 80, purfied water and something else

  • If you get the mint flavored on it doesnt smell so bad i cant wait to try this tomorrow i just got some today the only question i have is do you put the primer on before or after or do i not use primer at all??

  • Can I use this OVER my moisturizer? Well actually, I don't use a moisturizer, it's Neutrogena's Acne Stress Control 3-in-1 Hydrating Acne Treatment. And I need to use it since I have acne prone/sensitive skin. So since the MOM is drying (sorta), can I used my "moisturizer" and then sponge on the MOM over my t-zone? Thanks!

  • @bluefavorites You can, I recommend using it after your moisturizer. c:

  • @bluefavorites i would use this under everything on clean skin and then put whatever you need over it

  • I have MaSanti and it has magnesium hydroxide (400 mg) aluminum hydroxide (400 mg) and simethicone (40 mg) in it will it still work??

  • This worked so well at first :( but after 4months it stopped :(

  • i can't buy this anywhere! :( i live in denmark europe.. my skin is combination, so oily on the t-zone, but dry on my cheeks. i soooo wanna buy this. u ppl are lucky :/

    i love your channel secret, thnks for making vids <3

  • @sweetsoul88 - i feel the same way! i live in sweden and i'm trying soooo hard to find something similar to this but without any luck. sucks! :(

  • @louiqe i know :( and if i buy it from ebay, it will cost a lot :( and this costs 4 dollars in the US?! its no fair.

  • @sweetsoul88 - yeah, it really sucks! i'm gonna keep looking though :) there must be something!

  • I saw this video when u first made it... Wanted to try, but kept forgetting to grab it at the store. I finally did last night! I left it on over night. I always wake up with an oily face.... But not this morning! This stuff is amazing! I used it in place of my moisturizer this morning, without a primer... And my makeup looks flawless! I love the way my makeup looks on with m.o.m.!!!

    Anyways! Love love love your vids! Thank you so much for all your tips!

  • can this be found in any drugstore?

  • what toner do you use??? i'm using neutrogina (however you spell it) with alpha and beta enymes but it doesnt seem like its working for some reason... i need something to even out my skin tone and get rid of dark spots on my face!!!! heeeeeelp!!! lol love your videos!!!!

  • I use brown rice vinegar as a toner, milk of magnesia as the oil block, and monistat chafing cream as a primer, before using a mineral foundation. The cost of less than department store products and works just as well.

  • honestly i just tried this today and i saw some reviews on this for oily skin and at first i thought?? no way! this is going to work for my oily skin its impossible, omg i did not believe it when i applied this on this morning before my makeup for work and WOW!! this works soo good, it stayed on for a good 7-8 hours it was unbelievable lol. thank you for this gurl :))

  • You remind me of Michelle Phan and Rosebud.

    Lol. "...or you can use it for your constipation."

    Subbed.

    

  • Where do I get those wedges?? SOMEONE PLEASE REPLYYY.

  • @Shoppingstar525 the wedges are at dollar stores and drugstores.

  • @alohabc09 haha, yay, thanks for the reply!! :D

  • @Shoppingstar525 anywere, like target walmart walgreens rite aid cvs etc.

  • @xXheartsbzXx thx!!! :D do u know where i can get the face mask things she mentioned in another one of her DIY vids???

  • Does this get rid of blackhead too?

  • omg how did you do that bow in your hair? Its so cute

  • from jersey?

  • what kind of primer do you reccomend for oily skin?

  • I've heard from a lot of people that the pH of MoM is way too high to use on your skin... have you looked into this at all? I don't want to use it if it could be harmful. /:

  • I can't find the unflavoured one :/ :(

  • I dont think it has a smell .

  • Does it work if I don't wear makeup?

  • Hi, after watching this video. I went out to look for one but unfortunately, the local drugstore don't carry this anymore. Wondering if there is another alternative for this? Would malox do? it does have magnesium hydroxide.. Hope to hear from you

  • this really works!

  • oh my gosh. i've suffered from oily skin and acne ALL over my forehead for almost a decade and this made them go away in a few days! like 698790 pimples magically flattened! it's amazing! you're amazing! thank you so much. i love your videos. always upbeat :]

    <3

  • what about for acne prone skin? will it clog pores and cause more breakouts?

  • I AM SO GOIN TO BUY THIS! THANK YOU!

  • i love your videos! So short, sweet and simple. And you're very convincing with your words :D

  • this sounds amazing... but unfortunatelly almost as always I have problems with finding this substance in my country (same was with this liquid that you used with your aspirin toner). all I found was various tablets for stomach problems, but they contain also alluminum hydroxide (I don't know if that wouldn't be bad for my skin) and I don't know the correct concentration :P anyway, thanks for that tutorial, maybe I'll just ask a pharmacist ;)

  • In the morning i cleanse my face, and then I apply an acne treatment (benzoyl-peroxide) and then I apply my moisturizer. should i apply the milk of magnesia before the acne treatment? or when can i apply it? please aswer :\

  • excellent video! You cut straight to the chase and gave us that facts!!!! thanks!!!!

  • LOL a crack addict in the morning

    your so funny

  • Can I apply this with my hands?

  • what a concept, thanks for this idea.

  • thankkkkkk you for this! i really appreciate your videos because not only does it give cheaper alternatives, but also your skin is similar to mine with cystic and regular acne. i actually use a similar face routine but with a few more steps i know i'm doing the right thing. i can't wait to try this out!

  • Very impressive. I am so glad you posted this up. I have been trying to find a product to take care of my oily skin. Thanks!

  • hey! just wanted to say that you are so flippin awesome! this really works for me and i have pretty oily skin (it get's shiny less than an hour after washing my face). sometimes, i just apply this product on my face and skip the entire face routine makeup when my skin is behaving (which it is now b/c of this stuff :D) and my skin stays matte and natural looking throughout the day. it seriously banished all the acne i had when i developed while in Korea (b/c Seoul's air is so polluted >.<)!

  • would you recommend applying sunscreen before or after the milk of magnesia?

  • can you moisturize then use the milk of magnesia as a primer or do you suggest moisturize, milk of magnesia then primer then foundation?

  • can you make a vid on your cider toner?

  • Apply Milk of Magnesia on what if I cant apply on cotton ball soak up too much??

  • you are like soooo cute! now i really wanna try this (:

  • Since Milk of Magnesia has a pH level of 10.5, could that have a negative effect on your skin?

  • is it ok if its phillips cherry flavor cause thats all ive got someone please tell me if its ok to use on the skin like the regular on kay thanks

  • does it clot your pores??

  • This is an EPIC vid. Thank you sooo much for posting this. Now at the risk of sounding totally stupid, I have one question. What do you mean by your asprin toner and your... umm I forgot what you said but the other toner you use. Is it something you bought somewhere and if so where can you get it. I think it was the Asprin part that confused me. Lol I'm stupid anyway YAY!!! Oily skin relief thats CHEAP!!! :)

  • @squirrelywrath321 she hhas a video for the aspirin toner! =)

    and the apple cider vinegar toner is just one part cider vinegar with two parts green tea!! u should try it! =D

  • how do you apply in onto your face. i didn't see you go into detail about that.

  • i found that it takes awhile for your skin to get used to. after about a week of using milk of magnesia thats when i feel it really starts to work. then after about 3 months your skin becomes immune to it! i was very dissapointed

  • This is to dangerous for skin uhh??

    It didn't clog your pores huhhhh?

  • ..Very informative video....thanks!!!.

    But I have a question, should I aplply milk of magnesia, wait and then use makeup? OR should I use milk of magnesia, wait, wash face, use makeup?

    I really need this info now that is summer....too hot out there!!!

  • What primer do you use?

    I am using the Murad Mattifier as my oil controller at the moment and it works AMAZINGLY! But damn how expensive it is! I'm going to take the risk and get the Milk of Magnesia, but just wanted to know what primer is the best to use with it. Thanks for making all the really helpful videos!

  • WOW TO BE HONEST EVER EVER EVER EVER since i started watching ur vids i'm very well educated in beauty lol i have such oily skin that a couple hours of cleaning my face i get oil and i have blackheads that dont seem to go away T_T but thank you fer u wonderful advice! <3

  • hi, I have a question, could I apply this w my fingers?

  • i use this everyday and its amazinggggg <3

  • cant (asprin toner + Milk of Magnesia) be used on dry skin to get rid of pimples??

  • You're very similar to Michelle Phan.

  • @BeautyFetish Thanks! 

  • @SecretLifeOfaBioNerd I thought you were Michelle Phan. I think I like you better. You seem cool.

  • @BeautyFetish who cares ~~she is doing great :)

  • ur great my skins very oily this helps thankyou

  • I might return my murad oil control and try this.

  • do you rinse rinse it off??

  • do you rinse it off??

  • @Rachet12194 no she didn't. not in the morning. watch the video :s

  • you sweet

  • do you leave it on or wash it off?! (:

  • thanks for your review! i went to get a bottle of milk of magnesia today. They don't have the regular one for Phillip's in store, so i bought another brand. I noticed the ingredient is a little different: 77.5mg magnesium hydroxide, potassium sorbate and purified water. Do you know if these ingredient will affect the result? because i noticed that you said the Phillip's one has 120 mg magnesium hydroxide.

    thanks a lot <3

  • how do you do that bow?!?!?!!

    pleasee make a vid on it(:

  • OMG i love that bow!!! tutorial pleaseeeeeee

  • is there anything else we can use to apply the M.O.M other than wedges?

  • sadly, I don't really know where to buy milk of magnesia in germany. I really wanna try this out, since it sounds so promising. but lah . . .I'll check the drugstores and pharmacys, hopefully I'll find something like this ;_;

  • is this drying? I have oily skin but sometimes my skin is stripped of too much oil. And is this okay for sensitive skin people?

  • how did u do ur hair :D?

  • when you said to put the MoM overnight, do you skip the moisturzer too? or do you just put it on after cleansing and toning??

  • milk of magnesia is for constipation. HUH?

  • omg milk of magnesia worked amazing...i have oily skin with in my t-zone area...and my nose gets really oliy...half way during school i wipe my face with witch hazel...i used milk of magnesia today and no oil...at the end of the day there was only a little oil...thank you...

  • What section in the store can I get this from?

  • @dollparade

    In the pharmacy section, and more specifically, if you go into a CVS store, they have a little section dedicated to constapation-needs. lol.

  • Just wanted to say that I love how you describe the main like lol idk how to say it but "thing is" for example, I love how you explain to us about what Tourmaline is, BHA, etc. Not sure about other people, but I find it like extreamely helpful for myself(: you should make a video about explaining what other "things" are and what they do good, and bad for you. I know I can always research is, but idk what in specific. there are too much chemicals/irons and blaah out there hehe.

  • you mentioned that you switch on and off between your aspirin toner and acv toner. what acv toner do you use?

  • I seem to notice when you are talking how nice your teeth are. Have you ever had braces or some sort of overbite? Just wondering. :>

    I should give this a try next time I'm out at the store.

  • i used this product with a sponge applied 2 thin coats and i still look like a crack adict! i have white streaks everywhere!

  • could you do a tut for you hair?
