So what is the perfect productive skincare routine? There are zillions of skincare products out there, from avocado face masks to LED therapy and snail-slime face creams. However, you can get 90% of the possible benefits with just 3 or 4 products, which I include in my Productive Skincare Routine. Enjoy 🙂 (Btw you can watch an ad-free version of this video on Nebula – https://nebula.tv/videos/aliabdaal-my-productive-skincare-routine)

    What if I only want clean skin but don’t care about aging and that stuff? Is just bar of soap on then?



  2. Halil Danisan on July 26, 2023 at 4:56 pm

    There are no studies linked in the description, where can I find evidence for the things you are explaining?



  3. Adolfo Celera on July 26, 2023 at 4:57 pm

    Is it good aginst acne as well?



  10. Mr Putz on July 26, 2023 at 5:09 pm

    Question about the face fluid. Looking it up it doesn’t say anywhere that it’s a moisturizer. Is that right?



  11. Yes you are absolutely right. on July 26, 2023 at 5:11 pm

    What about niacinamide?



  12. FAM on July 26, 2023 at 5:13 pm

  20. Taz Bo on July 26, 2023 at 5:23 pm

  21. Aijan Amanbekova on July 26, 2023 at 5:23 pm

    Nice and simple video. I couldn’t find the researches as evidences in the description of this video, though the video tells us that we can easily find those



  22. Az R on July 26, 2023 at 5:23 pm

  23. Philip Brand on July 26, 2023 at 5:25 pm

  24. ElPietro K1NG on July 26, 2023 at 5:28 pm

    Hi ! Great video, however what about the skin under your beard ? Should you mosturize it too ? In the video we only see you use products on the parts of your face that are not covered with hairs ?

  38. Parminder Bhatti on July 26, 2023 at 5:50 pm

    Hi
    I would like to query that thumbnail image you have used to promote the video. Where one side of your face is prior to starting and one side is after some time of using these products which you are promoting.

    Are both sides of that image sincere or has there been some photoshopping done to over emphasise things.

    I have been watching your stuff(and loving it) for years and don’t ever recall seeing your skin to be that way.



  39. Jake Theo on July 26, 2023 at 5:50 pm

    tried these for 6 months or so already:) no nonsense, it just ‘WORKS’. Thanks man!



  40. Raymundo R on July 26, 2023 at 5:51 pm

    Do you find parabens an issue in lotions? I’ve heard they may act as endocrine disruptors.
