Caroline Hirons #9 No. I did like her in the past, now I think she's an oaf

[SqualorVictoria]

Please say they didn't mean that they used glycolic acid and then retinol? Madness!

Prescription tretinoin did not work for me at all. It dried my face out and I used it correctly. I persevered with it but ended up giving up. Maybe it would have worked but it wasn't worth having sore and dry skin

CH likes to screech about people being nosy and invasive when it comes to her family and tell us to duck off but she’s been using her children and the baby as reaction memes in her stories

Bare Minerals it was nice knowing you. Adios!

@BigMavis what did Caroline say about Caitlin Jenner? I'm not on Instagram!

 

[ImClaustrophobicDarren411]

Is she looking for free temporary office space? I’m sure she can find somewhere by having a google.

And going by the timings on the stories she's calling out and tagging a company that haven't responded to her wi the space of 20 minutes I honestly hope that company refuse to have anything to do with her after that,she's so bleeping rude, entitled and just awful

Hi, I don't think she has mentioned Caitlyn as far as I've seen. She has given out about bare minerals this morning though, asking how their advertising is legal. Phyto retinol.

Ah sorry, I thought I read that she had! Must have misunderstood

Just checked her stories again, just more spf stuff. I may have missed the Caitlyn stuff.

Judging by this article she's not just rude but also wrong. There is more than bakuchiol.

Meet The Natural Ingredient Transforming Skin Texture & Reducing Wrinkles

But she's obviously never been interested in gentle products. Always the nuclear option for her. Skin barrier be damned.

Here’s her insta thing

I've only quoted on the Caroline Hirons threads once so forgive me for not being up to speed on the latest dramas (I'm not into the influencers thing) - this may have been said already.

I was a member of EDS (Essentialdayspa) for years. Also Skincaretalk, but only briefly, as it was very bitchy (and badly-moderated) on there.

I went through a phase of lemming after skincare products, gadgets, treatments, looking for my holy grail.

Spent a lot of money, time, online browsing and after years of it decided...most people online are shills (there was actually a big scandal on EDS/Essentialdayspa that I missed, but reading between the lines it was about certain members promoting products for their own gain).

My opinion is that skincare is closely linked to health/lifestyle/your body chemistry and unique to the individual (maybe not the best analogy, but imagine a random doctor posting online with generalised health advice and recommendations to use/buy products - directed at EVERYONE - it would be unethical and could even be dangerous - though some on EDS recommending we buy Roaccutane might come under the "dangerous" description).

TL;DR: Seek help from a specialist if things are really dire, but for me, skincare has been trial and error - what suits me won't suit you. I feel there's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all skincare guru.

Hello new here. I cannot stand this self proclaimed beauty expert. She is a sales women end of. She once claimed she invented double cleansing, well let me just say this, I done my L4 beauty/laser etc etc over 30yrs ago fully qualified & still update my skills to this day & double cleansing has always been a thing within the beauty industry especially at night. I’ve never listened to a thing she’s ever said or been influenced by her paid recommendations, you only have to look at the way she uses products to know she hasn’t got a clue. My facialist who I go to is a very dear friend from college many yrs ago & now she’s a qualified skincare formulator with her own brand launched albeit small the products are amazing and her skin is amazing too, if you’re on Instagram then give her a follow she deserves the success & she knows her stuff too. Not like this fraud

You were doing well till you added "don't buy her stuff, buy my friend's". I still think skincare is unique to the person, and trial and error.

All of us have used raved-about skincare products yet they bring an individual out in hives (my skin is quite hardy but it happens to me every now and then with a new product).

I didn’t say ‘don’t buy her stuff buy my friends’ I said give my friend a follow it’s everyone’s prerogative if they choose to buy it. I’m just being a good friend by letting people know about her, yes skincare is individual to everyone I’m just raving about it as like I’ve said been in the industry for over 30yrs tried all kinds as you can imagine & I’m loving her one.

I can understand wanting to help a friend out, which is a noble and kind gesture, but calling CH a "saleswoman" then more or less promoting someone else (ie, being a saleswoman, or go-between) seems a bit hypocritical to me.

As I said, the skincare world (especially online) seems to be full of shills. It's my opinion from experience, it may not be yours.

I think this person is just supporting her friend which is small business, I don’t see anything wrong with that especially as salons have really suffered due to the pandemic. CH is being a paid to promote brands, and their products may be a load of crap.

I haven’t mentioned my friends business name so I’d have to disagree. CH is/was a saleswomen of skincare which she has said in previous podcasts.... she might have read up on formulating/beauty but she’s not qualified far from it.

Exactly!! Thank you

What do we think of alpha lipoic acid, I love it, but I'm hearing reports that its not great for the skin. Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

@SqualorVictoria - massive thank you for Spatone recommendation. I actually really like the taste, fingers crossed it does me a bit of good
