Lumin vs Apricus Skin (Honest Review)

so in this video i want to compare the skincare brand lumen with the skincare brand apricots and when it comes to both of these brands i've tried them out respectfully for more than 60 days where i analyzed the skincare products and they affected it on my skin and those in this video i want to compare both of these brands to help you find the best skin care regimen for you and when it comes to being able to make these videos it takes me a lot of time and effort because initially i need to try both these brands out for a certain time period and then i analyze both of these brands to find the best fit for you and thus if you really appreciate videos like this please leave a thumbs up for the youtube algorithm and also consider to hit the subscribe button if you'd like to see more comparison videos like this anyways with that said let's get started so when it comes to lumen the main products are the charcoal cleanser exfoliating rub moisturizing bomb dark circle defense and this is a product that africa's skin doesn't offer at the moment lumen also offers quite a lot of other products such as the anti-wrinkle serum and the recovery oil and when it comes to africa's skin it's quite a new brand and thus it doesn't offer all of those skin care products and thus i think it's only fair if i compare the charcoal cleanser the exfoliating rope and the moisturizing bone with the apricor skin products because alternative for the charcoal cleanser is the apricor's face wash the alternative for the exfoliating rub is the apricot's exfoliating scrub and the alternative for the moisturizing balm is the abracast moisturizer so let's compare the first section of products the charcoal cleanser with the apricot's face wash and when it comes to the charcoal cleanser it's a product to get rid of all of the oil buildup and all of the dirt on your face and in terms of the charcoal cleanser it's quite an efficient product if you are someone that has oily skin and if you are someone that just generally want to take care of your skin however some individuals with extremely sensitive skin have mentioned that it was too intense for them but besides that minority for the majority of individuals the charcoal cleanse is really really good the africa's face wash is a product that will instantly cleanse and energize your skin and has ingredients like aloe vera and jojoba oil in it which will leave you with a bright clear complexion while effectively removing acne causing bacteria and when it comes to the apricor's face wash it has more of a minty smell to it and when it comes to this product after using this product it leaves a cooling effect on my face so the difference between these two products after using them for more than 60 days respectfully in my opinion is that when it comes to the charcoal cleanser it generally gets rid of all of the oil buildup and all the dirt on your face when it comes to the face wash by apricot skin this product is made for those individuals that want to have more of a brighter skin i want to get rid of more of those acne causing bacteria but at the same time this product doesn't get rid of all of the oil buildup in my opinion this product is less harsh and gives you that cooling effect and thus this is better for those individuals they have more of a sensitive skin but when it comes to the lumen charcoal cleanser this is a product that's perfect for the everyday guy moving on to the lumen exfoliating rub this is a product that you use after the charcoal cleanser to give your skin a deep clean so after getting rid of all of the oil buildup and all of the dirt causing bacteria on your face now it's time to give your skin a deep clean go deep inside of your pores penetrate inside to gently make sure your skin is very very clean and when it comes to the lumen exfoliating rope because this is quite an intensive product you don't use it every single day only once or twice a week and in one of my previous videos in respect to the lumen exfoliating rob i already said that i was using it less and less because initially when you start to use this product is amazing because it gives you the deep clean that you require but over time you need less and less of it because you've already given yourself that deep clean and it takes a while for all of the oil build up and all of the bacteria to build up very deep inside of your skin and thus if you are someone that is taking care of your skin on a regular basis you need less and less of this product although if you're someone that's just starting out this is a very very good product because it will give you that deep clean and would just generally make sure that your skin is really really healthy but the one thing i do have to mention when it comes to the exfoliating rub is that for some individuals it might be a bit too intense because the exfoliating rub goes very deep inside of your skin and has bigger beads relative to the wound by africa's skin and thus if you're someone that's more than sensitive skin this might be a bit too intense for you and that's where the apricot exfoliating scrub comes into play on the back of this product it says that it's formulated with a powerful pumice based scrubbing beads that strip away dirt unclog pores and sweep away dead skin cells leaving only healthy radiant skin behind and thus although i think that the lumen exfoliating rope is really good especially for beginners that want to get that deep clean comparing that to the apricot exfoliating scrub this is a product that i feel you can use more frequently and it doesn't give you that much of a deep clean because it has more of those pumice based speeds that will give you a mini attack on your face rather than having a few beats that will go really deep inside of your skin and comparing the exfoliating rub by lumen and the exfoliating scrub by apricot skin in my opinion i feel like that this one is more suitable for a lot of individuals because even though this doesn't go as deeply into your skin it will still unclog most of your pores but when it comes to the lumen one this is made for those individuals that have very harsh skin and really really need that deep clean to unclog your pores and another thing when it comes to the exfoliating scrub by abracast in my opinion this is probably one of the best ones i've tried out so far and that's due to the pumice based speed this really gives your skin a deep clean by having those mini attacks while at the same time it prevents you really damaging your skin moving on to the next section of the skincare comparison is the moisturizing bomb by lumen and look how lightweight it is and if you've watched my previous videos before you know that i absolutely love the lumen moisturizing balm and the reason that this is my all-time favorite is due to the fact that it makes my skin brighter it makes you shine but at the same time the product is lightweight and non-greasy at all and that's something that i personally find very very important when it comes to a moisturizing balm i want a moisturizing bomb to be non-greasy and very lightweight as if it doesn't feel like you have any product on your skin but at the same time it will still give you that bright and shiny look and comparing that to the moisturizing bone by apricot skin this is also a lightweight and non-greasy product and it's ideal for anyone who wants bright smooth and clear skin without feeling sticky or oily but the difference between the apricot skin and the lumen moisturizing balm is that although it is respectfully quite lightweight and non-greasy by my opinion the moisturizing bone by lumen is more lightweight and more non-greasy but at the same time i do have to give credit to this apricot skin care product because when it comes to this product it has a minty texture to it so every time i apply it to my skin i also get that cooling effect and that's perfect for those individuals that have irritating skin and that's perfect for those individuals that are acne prone because by applying this product you really calm down your irritating skin another thing when it comes to the moisturizer by africa's skin is that it feels like it creates some sort of protective barrier and layer on top of your skin by making it feel a little bit tight and protect it while this doesn't happen with the moisturizing bomb from lumen let me give you a quick summary and hopefully this can help you with your purchasing decision so comparing the face wash with the charcoal cleanser in my opinion the charcoal cleanser is a product for the everyday joe that just simply wants to get rid of all of the dirt buildup and all of the oil buildup and it's perfect to get rid of that but when it comes to those individuals that more than sensitive skin i would recommend you the apricot skin face wash because this product provides that cooling effect to really ease down irritating skin and at the same time this product is made of aloe vera and jojoba oil leaving you with a bright clear skin complexion while effectively removing acne causing bacteria and in terms of the exfoliating rope by lumen and exfoliating scrub by apricors in my opinion if you are someone that has very very stubborn skin and want to have that deep clean definitely go with the lumen exfoliating rope and in the case you just simply want to have a deeper clean also go with the lumen exfoliating rope although in my opinion for most individuals the apricor's exfoliating scrub might be a better option due to the mini attacks the pumice based bees provide the exfoliating scrub by apricots is an all-time favorite at the moment for me due to the pumice based beats because this simply gives you a mini attack on clogging your paws while still taking care of it because you don't want it to penetrate too harshly or too deeply because otherwise you can really damage your skin and thus for those individuals that just simply want to give yourself a deep clean this apricot skincare product might be the better option although if your skin is harsh and more stubborn i would go with the exfoliating rub by lumen and in terms of the moisturizing bone by lumen and the moisturizer by africa's skin in my opinion as most of you probably could have guessed i definitely like the moisturizing bomb by lumen a little bit more and that's due to the fact that this moisturizing bomb is more lightweight and more non-greasy and it just really makes my skin look brighter and healthier but khan like i do have to give huge respect to the apricot skin moisturizer because this product is also quite lightweight and non-greasy and at the same time this product provides a cooling effect and that's perfect for those individuals that got quite irritating skin and want to cool it off a little bit and calm it down it feels like that this product creates some sort of protective barrier to really protect your skin throughout the day something that the moisturizing bone by lumen doesn't do and that's pretty much it when it comes to this comparison video i will have both brands linked
