Will Moxi deal with dullness? And cause you t have glass like texture?
It certainly helps with dullness, but “glass skin” takes maintenance, keeping up with regular chemical exfoliation, soothing products, and hydration. So it helps by giving you a nice smooth texture but may take a few treatments to get where you want to be and you’ll still have to keep it up with your home care. 🖤🖤-MT
There is a transparent lab PIH serum from niche lab if you want to check it out, too
Thank youuuu! I must have just been breezing by it but it looks perfect! (Would we expect anything less from niche?) Expect to see that coming up soon! 🖤🖤-MT
@@MarkThayerSkin No problem, I found out from No BS beauty! Thanks for taking the time to review these products. I'm carefully curating my black friday list
@nicolette3436 ooooo love her!! I think she and I are kinda OG Paula’s Choice people :) Black Friday is gonna be awesome!! 🖤🖤
Great video! Is the bottle airless?
Yes! It’s got a vacuum bag that squeezes product out without letting air back in. (To be fair, few dispensers are 100% airless because there’s still that tiny bit of product in the dispenser nozzle that is exposed to air but it’s *nearly* airless as is the general standard)
Your description of this product was verbally delicious! Words like symphony, vessel, & ritual paint a picture of truly pampering product.
I’m glad you liked it, if you can believe it I didn’t do the product justice even with my verbal poetry! 🖤🖤-MT
Does it have an oily or heavy moisturizer feel? I don’t like to use moisturizer on my face. I prefer light serums, like the B-Hydra from Drunk Elephant. How heavy does it feel?
Lighter than moisturizer, not heavier than B-hydra but milkier/creamier but juuuust a hair. You’re also using a very small amount so I’d say it should fit nicely with your preferences! 🖤🖤-MT
@@MarkThayerSkin thank youuuu 🙏🏼🥰
Hi, I'm so happy I've stumbled upon your channel. Idk if you'll see this comment, but I have a question. I've been using G&G A-game 10 for a long time, never had any problems. My derm prescribed me tretinoin(Cordes Vas 0,5) because I asked her😂. Well, I wanted to use it... I'm a bit scared of that. Do you think I could use it? In the beginning definitely layering it(sandwich method) and, in time, use it alone. Or I should just continue using A-game 10? Nah, I'm getting older. I should up my "game" (🤣what a stupid sentence). Thank you.
Haha I love it, yes I’m all for you upping your “game”! Glad you found my little corner of the internet! I think it should be a pretty easy transition, as you said, ease into it and use the new retinoid basics: slow n steady, minimize other actives, no other new products until you’re stabilized, sandwich it, pea size to start, and avoid eyes and nose in the early days. My approach would be to keep going with A-game 10 nightly but, swap it for a pea size of 0.05 tret Monday and Friday. If all is well at week 3, swap out Wednesday. If you like trying new retinoids, I would stop there so you can trade A-game for whatever new, exciting retinoid captures your attention and use that 4 nights a week and tret the other 3. If you’re all in on tret, I would keep adding one more night every 3 weeks until you’re all tret all the time🥳🤩 Hope this helps 🖤🖤, MT
@@MarkThayerSkin Wow! This was quick! Thank you so much! Honestly, I'm one of those who'd like to find a great regime and stick with it, for good 😂 Not that I don't like testing new products, but I like efficiency. And we all know that, for new products, we have to stick with it for some time. Of course, depending on the specific ingredient. We can all "peel off" our face the first day with too strong acid😅 I'll definitely do as suggested. Now, all I have to do is binge watch to keep up with your content. Let me just get some heavy duty eye cream😉 Thank you, once again, for a prompt answer and for amazing topics. Love from Croatia
@DoraSometimes 🖤🖤🖤 More power to ya! I would like to find my “perfect routine” but I’m just too curious, so I’ll happily be the sacrificial guinea pig and try everything so you don’t have to. I would love to hear how your journey goes, keep me posted! 🖤🖤-MT

i bought an airless pump, then bcs i was stupid, i didnt put anything in it and i closed it, and now i cant open the airless pump, can u teach me how to open it ? 🥹
Every pump is different, I’ll say I’ve had the best luck using a silicone potholder and just twisting as I pull it apart. Just make sure to grip the top at the rim, not on the actual pump. Good luck!
Hello, thank you for the thoughtful review. I recently stopped using this product because I no longer want to spend the money. If there’s something in its place that you can recommend, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, I would love for you to consider reviewing MDAire.
Thanks for watching! What else are you using? What did you start using Alastin’s skin complex for? I’m unaware of any other product that does the exact same thing as Trihex, but if you give me some more detail on your routine and goals I can give you some recommendations. I’ll look into MDAire, what do you like from them? 🖤🖤-MT
I'm amazed at how affordable this one is! Much cheaper than most retinols, never mind retinaldehydes. I definitely want to give this one try.
Let me know what you think! I love that there are affordable options of genuinely great formulas these days. Geek & Gorgeous has a retinaldehyde that’s less than $20 too. Thanks for watching! 🖤🖤-MT
I know there was lots of info here but I was blown away by your explanation of encapsulation and how it works!
I’m so happy you found it informative! 🖤🖤-MT

Please please checkout the brands that are also supposed to be Medical Grade: MBR (Germany) and Ateur 🙏🙏🙏
I did some exploration of MBR and Ateur and my first question is what piqued your interests from these brands? They both seem to position themselves in the luxury bracket but take very different approaches to marketing and ingredient choice from there. Both are pricy so I’d only buy into it if they had something exceptional that no one else offers either in the delivery or unique proprietary ingredients. I’d be more inclined to try something from Ateur’s line purely because it’s so aesthetically unique and they use some ingredients I’ve never heard of but have promise. They’re giving me La Prairie vibes-. MBR’s marketing is definitely more clinical but one of their principles is “cost is no object” in the formulation process, which just feels a bit misplaced to me. The bummer is I can’t find published, peer-reviewed research from either which is a big part of how I gauge brands marketing themselves as “medical grade”. So any claims are just on their word despite both claiming to have fantastic research backing their formulations. To be fair, when I consider big name “medical grade” brands like Alastin, Skinbetter Science, or Skinceuticals, I also know that their more proprietary research that isn’t open to the public is available to clinicians so we can better educated patients when necessary. Perhaps these brands have similar arrangements with clinicians and will be willing to share some of their research confidentially so I can understand what makes them special. At the end of the day, I focus on brands that use research-backed ingredients and have an above average degree of transparency about their ingredients. So, I’ll keep an eye on them and keep digging for info to support their formulations but it’s just not in my budget to try either brand at the moment. Thank you for introducing me to them though! 🖤🖤-MT
Loved your review!!! Thank you so much!❤
Would love for you to review skin better science. There is also two brands that I would loveeeeee your review one is called MBR (it’s German) and the other one is called Auteur. Thanks so much! Wonderful review ❤
AlphaRet by Skinbetter Science | QuickTake Review ruclips.net/video/l5moUKnFHwI/видео.html 👆👆👆 there’s an AlphaRet review. I’ve tried most of the line, which products from Skinbetter in particular are you interested in? I’ve never heard of either of the ones you recommended, I’ll look into them! What do you like about those brands? 🖤🖤-MT
I hate this product!!!! it pills every time i use it. i tried on both dry and slightly damp skin and it still pills. the packaging was dirty when i received it and the label wasn't printed properly. i really regret buying it
Oh gosh that’s no fun! Usually if a stand alone product is pilling up, I try a few days of mechanical exfoliation or a week or so of chemical exfoliation and try again. But sometimes it’s just not compatible with certain skin types. Niche beauty also has pretty good customer service, have you tried reaching out for a refund or exchange? Have you tried Naturium or Necessaire’s retinoid body product? They’re drastically different textures so one of them should be a good match for your skin. 🖤🖤-MT
Thanks for the review! How would you compare it to Naturium's Barrier Bounce?
Thanks for watching! This beat barrier bounce for speed of recovery, it was so quick and I do like Byoma’s texture more, it’s just so stinkin’ luxurious. 🥰 I liked Barrier Bounce but I think the fussy pump and how hard it is to get the last few pumps out makes it an easy with for Byoma. 🖤🖤-MT
@@MarkThayerSkin i agree with you about how fussy Barrier Bounce is with its pump! I'll give the Byoma one a try some time in the future!
@nqviv123 Definitely let me know what you think if/when you try it! Any other products you’d like to see reviewed?
@@MarkThayerSkin i don't have any other products in mind right now, but thank you so much for asking!
I’m sold!! Gonna try it!
Hello! I loved how you explain this so much! Does it also helps clogged pores? Hoping for your reply 🙏
Thanks for watching! So glad you found it helpful! Yes, using a retinoid like this one will help prevent clogged pores. You can also use a BHA/salicylic acid to get faster results on your pores and then use Moonlight to keep them clear. Retinal can take a couple months to fully clear pores on its own. Hope this helps! 🖤🖤-MT
No, I really appreciate it!! There are soooo many products with great branding but that I have question about and can’t find informed reviews because no one wants to be the one to spill the hater-aid. Keeping it 100% gets the🧚♀️🍀🍄🐇🌈🙏!!!
i would love a hyperpigmentation video!
🙌🙌 any struggles or products you’ve experienced along the way that you want me to touch on? 🖤🖤-MT
@@MarkThayerSkin not specifically but what are some good all-in-one products targeted for hyperpigmentation? I like to use a one and done serum for persistent PIH before applying my tretinoin at night ☺️
@nqviv123 I added my hyperpigmentation go-to’s to the description 🫶🫶 I’ll go over the products and rationales in detail during the dedicated video!
Your face & skin look great! Can you address a timeline for those who want to look great for an event where photos & videos will be up close?
Thank you!! Event prep timelines vary greatly depending on what concerns we’re focusing on, how much improvement you want to see, what your home care looks like, and of course what downtime and price point works for you. I can definitely talk through some general rules and suggestions though. 🖤🖤-MT
Beautiful mark your skins looking fantastic ❤. Treatments under the skin cant be beaten i reckon as we age .
Thanks friend! That line you recommended looks so good, I’m figuring out when I should try it. 👍👍
You make it look so easy, I've been messing with it for a while. So I'm gonna go try this once again. Lol
Use way *less* than you think you need. You can pat in another layer if you need to but start with the tiniest whisper of a dot and then pat like crazy, and then just leave it for a bit while you check the mail or something away from the mirror. YOU GOT THIS!
I didn’t know exfoliants could be left on! I DO think I’ll try this one. Sounds gentle and effective! Fine wrinkles ?? Really?? You have no skin creases!
I kinda wish it was a liquid based exfoliate instead. Because applying a toner / essence after a dimethicone serum feels odd lol
Haha I hear ya! It’s fairly thin, it doesn’t have that cushiony dimethicone feel, hard to describe but it didn’t upset my layering even with various test products. 🖤🖤-MT
@@MarkThayerSkin 💙can you next review Geek and Gorgeous exfoliates
@@johnnyarellano7653 Sure!
This is really helpful. A couple months ago I went on a deep dive into body retinol, and almost all of these came up. It's great that I can get reviews on all of them. I had ultimately settled with Necessaire, but I haven't started using it as yet. The Niche Lab will be my new discovery.
I love the Necessaire on paper but just too balm-y for me, let me know what you think! I’m glad you found the video helpful 🖤🖤-MT
@@MarkThayerSkin And that's precisely what I avoid in skincare products. No matter how good they are on paper, if they're heavy, greasy or sticky, they'll just sit on my vanity until they expire. Please continue to share all the gems you find on your journey.

@elizabethbennett3208 Haha that would be pretty cool! For now I’m happy to hear it’s useful to you! 🖤🖤-MT
I thought Retinal is yellow, but this is not.
Lots of retinoid formulas are somewhat yellow, especially the first wave of Retinal products because there was really only one supplier of stabilized Retinaldehyde and it came blended with cloudberry seed oil which has a vivid yellow-orange tint. Now that is become a popular ingredient, there are more manufacturers of the raw material and some (not many) offer a colorless/white formula. Obviously most brands are very protective of their sources and trade secrets so it’s hard to track down exactly what Niche is using but it works well! 🖤🖤-MT
That was great!! And I am using Alastin! Also, love to see something for the whole body.
So glad you enjoyed it! Love that Alastin has something for everywhere! 🖤🖤-MT
Hi! What type of skin do you have? I’m looking to buy it but I’m afraid it will break me out too.
I tend to be normal-dry sensitive, rarely break out prone anymore which is why this was so weird!
And hyaluronic acid, moisturizer, SPF and this serum is enough for a hyperpigmentation treatment?
That’s a good place to start! Hyperpigmentation can be stubborn, so you may have to add other actives at some point. But this should give you good improvement as long as you’re using spf 50 daily! 🖤🖤-MT
You're so kind and beautiful 🩵@@MarkThayerSkin
What exfoliation shall we use with it? Can you please name a brand for it?
Exfoliation depends on your skin type and concerns. Chemist Confessions has beautiful serum options for most skin types from sensitive to resilient. Geek and Gorgeous has toner/liquid options for all skin types too. Both have Mandelic acid options which is nice and gentle for hyperpigmentation. If your skin is more resilient, The Ordinary Glycolic acid toner is a nice, inexpensive option. Hope this helps! 🖤🖤-MT
Thank you so much🙏
@mehrnazyoosefi5986 My pleasure! Thanks for watching, let me know how your hyperpigmentation treatment goes! 🖤🖤-MT
Is it good as a beginner retinol? I’ve read that, if you start a otc retinol, it should be differin, because it’s proven to work quite effectively, this on the other hand has good reviews, so I am kinda in a dilemma right now🥲
Good question! It is a good beginner retinoid, I would still ease into it every other night and step up as tolerated. Adapalene is great for acne and inflammation but has very little research on anti-aging. The limited research (and theoretically) is promising for anti-aging but because it’s never becomes actual retinoic acid it doesn’t bind to all the retinoid receptors in skin. It’s designed for acne so it selectively binds to only gamma and beta retinoid receptors which makes it far less irritating than tretinoin but it also loses some of the effects that are anti-aging. The retinoids in theramid are going to be gentle but still hit all the retinoid receptors. You should see improvement from either option but I tend to recommend adapalene for acne only and keep to retinal, retinol, retinopathy, etc for photoaging. Hope this helps! 🖤🖤-MT
@@MarkThayerSkin I would use it primarily for acne, so adapalene is the way to go hmm, okay. People use the retinals mainly for the anti aging purposes.should have maybe seen that in the reviews😂.You review this brand quite often, do you think it’s possible to introduce differin into your routine when you’re already using azelaic acid( theramid), it’s extremely gentle, and its strengthens the barrier as I heard
Adapalene and azelaic acid are great together! Should help you get the acne under control faster!
Wow, quick but packed with lots of information. Gonna watch one more time to wrap my head around all that.
I hope my morning routine can go that quickly!
Nice background!
Which is better? G&G a game 10 or this? Planning to use retinol again due to having pimples randomly and having noticeable wrinkles
Oooo one isn’t better than the other, they’re both great formulas! But if you’re just getting back into retinoids, I’d start with a-game 10 and ease into it every other night. Once you’ve used a full bottle if you want to kick it up a notch, then clinical vit A. But if you’re happy with your progress at that point I would stay with a-game. Niche beauty’s clinical A is definitely going to be stronger than a-game but it’s pretty rare that people *need* to make that jump to see good results. 🖤🖤-MT
This was a great introduction to scary treatments for my face. This definitely takes the mystery out of how Moxi works and what it CAN do for my skin. THANK YOU!
How would you use this with tretinoin, before or after? Nice video!
Hmm. I don’t feel super strongly about it because tret will get through just about everything topical with no problems. But if it’s the cream base tret I would put it after this serum, gel base tret I would put before this serum. Hope this helps! 🖤🖤-MT
@@MarkThayerSkin Great! Alastin first then tret! I will do this tonight. Love all Alastin products. Thank you!
Is it fungal acne safe 😢
I’m absolutely the least informed person on fungal acne, but according to SkinCarisma, yes it is! But let us know what your research turns up! 🖤🖤-MT www.skincarisma.com/products/meishoku/ceracolla-perfect-gel
Love the quick reviews, but would also love to learn more about in-office procedures like you’re having done here. Learning from someone with real meaningful knowledge (rather than just a one-off experience) would be great! :)
Right on! I’ll get one on the schedule. Since you’re the first to ask, any particular procedures or concerns you trying to address? I don’t think I will do an overview video on all of the treatments available because they vary so much by office. But I can at least speak to the ones I’m having done, or the most popular ones with my own patients. 🖤🖤-MT
13:29 Did you mean an airless pump? If I recall correctly you said your Clinical Vitamin A came in an airless pump but mine (even though it’s the newer cylinder packaging) still comes with a straw pump (bought it during their Easter sale btw)
Aww! Another reviewer said they had switched the packaging to airless pump like the others, I was so excited 🥺
@@MarkThayerSkin Well, to be fair it does look like the perfect component to make it airless 😂😂
@@MarkThayerSkin Hey, I’ve been using it for some more time and I have an update. Turns out I was wrong 😂. I thought airless pumps could only be achieved with a disc that goes up as the product is being used but this one is a bag inside the cylinder that shrinks as you use it up. It also seems like when it shrinks enough you’ll be able to unscrew the top (which you can’t when it’s full) and very easily separate plastic from glass (and no need to clean the glass hahah). I hope they somehow make it possible to only buy the pump and bag so you can reuse the glass but… if you can’t pull them apart now I don’t think they can make it possible 😅.
@sofiadesentre These companies can really innovate when they put their minds to it! The vacuum bags definitely slide out of the glass when you’ve used all the product up, thank goodness! I love the idea of just buying a refill! Hopefully they will take advantage of the durable glass bottle down the line. 🖤🖤
I love a good empties!
Me too! Now maybe I’ll actually get them off to terracycle lol 🖤🖤-MT

can you please review Zo skincare products? I want to buy from there line but I dont know whats worth it or not
Ugh…I was hoping to avoid this. They have a great medical mind behind the brand, people seem to absolutely love it (even a few of my own patients). But I have so much trouble giving them any attention because almost all their products have added artificial fragrances and artificial dyes. Like….is this a drugstore brand from 2005?? 🤦🏻♂️ 🤢 There are a couple products I would be willing to try, what do you have your eye on? 🖤🖤-MT
Hi, Mark! Quick question. I find myself not using this product often because I get concerned that the silicone content (based on what I feel) might inhibit absorption of the actives in the products I apply after it. I have nothing against silicones in general but thought they are somewhat occlusive. I’m sure you have much more knowledge on the topic so I thought I’d run this by you. I LOVE that you are reviewing Theramid products. It’s difficult to find a knowledgeable reviewer with solid info on them. Thanks! 😊
Ooooh I love this question! It does have a couple silicones in it, one that basically evaporates as you spread it to make it spread more evenly and smoothly, and another that sticks around to help moisturize, deliver the peptides into the skin, and yes, make a thin *but not impenetrable* layer of protection. In general, actives are designed to penetrate through even rowdier substances found in our skin than silicones, so I don’t worry too much about it. But if it bothers you, you can absolutely switch up the typical layering scheme of thinnest to thickest and put your actives on first and leave the siliconey serums for last! It might even help lock them in better. Another option (I’m trying this route myself for the sake of sanity when I’m neck deep in product testing) is to alternate actives. At the moment I’m alternating my exfoliating acid product and my peptide products every other night so I’m not layering a million products every night (and I’m less tempted to overuse strong products too!). If you want more info, my favorite down-to-earth cosmetic chemist, Michelle at Lab Muffin Beauty Science, did a great deep dive on this very topic a while back. labmuffin.com/silicone-mythbusting-with-video/ Hope that helps! 🖤🖤-MT
