Lancôme UV Expert Aqua Gel SPF 50 PA++++ (2019 Version) – Review
This sunscreen is the 2019 version of the UV Expert Aqua Gel. I’ve picked up the gel version, as I’d thought a gel sunscreen would be light and more suitable for hot, summery weather. Similarly to the Lancôme UV Expert Milky Bright, which I reviewed a few months ago, this product provides high protection against…

Etude Soon Jung 5 Cica Sleeping Pack – Review
This mask was released during the period when Korean brands were introducing cica lines. Just like most of the other products, this one also contains cantella asiatica – the ingredient that we all love and look out for. This product has a thick and creamy, gel-like consistency, but it absorbs pretty well. A little goes…

Avon Anew Clinical Defend & Repair Advanced Hydration Overnight Mask – Review
I like this mask – it does what it says on the box, and it’s relatively affordable. I have gone through a few jars of this mask since its launch. By the way, in some markets, it’s also called Anew Clinical Overnight Hydration Mask. Here’s what Avon say about it: The unique gel formula is…

TARGET PRO BY WATSONS Essential Hot Cleansing Gel – Review
This cleanser is from Watsons’ Target Pro line, which is supposed to be a clinical/pro one with a lot of eye-catching ingredients. The products are meant to treat the skin and strengthen its barrier – that’s the general concept of the line. There are three ingredients written on the tube ‘Diamond Sirt, Ceramide and Thermal…

Innisfree Daily UV Protection Cream No Sebum SPF 35 PA+++ – Review
I think this is one of the oldest Korean sunscreens; I had been postponing buying this sunscreen for years, as I knew it would be just like many other mineral-only sunscreens – drying and ashy. This sunscreen contains titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, not micronised, as well as iron oxides that help to protect from…

Estee Lauder Nutritious Micro-Algae Pore Minimizing Hydra Lotion – Review
I usually don’t shop from Estee Lauder, they don’t carry many products that catch my attention, but this one is amazing. I notice quite a lot of inspiration from Asian beauty in this product, and let me explain to you why. Estee Lauder’s description of the product: Sheer fresh moisture without excess shine. Supercharges skin…

Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Milk SPF 50+ – Review
This sunscreen makes me very happy, especially after two recent failures, because it does what it says on the box. Let me start by saying that this product has been repackaged. It’s the same formula but in a sky-blue bottle instead of a yellow one. Don’t confuse it with a new sunscreen in a pink…

Pixi x Caroline Hirons Double Cleanse – Review
This cleanser is one of the products that Pixi have created in collaboration with beauty gurus, in this case with Caroline Hirons. Pixi make a lot of great products, but this cleanser is just superb. First of all, the packaging is very practical – ideal for daily use and travelling; but also the formulas of…

Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel SPF 50+ PA++++ (2019 Version) – Review
Here’s a review of another reformulated sunscreen this year, unfortunately not a successful one. This formula just as the previous one is a mix of chemical filters and titanium dioxide. It is water resistant and suitable for all skin types, intended for both face and body. It also contains hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid,…

SVR SENSIFINE Makeup Removing Cleanser – Review
I always have a gentle face wash around — a type of cleanser that I can use when my skin is irritated or not. Something easy and affordable, and this cleanser fits in the category. This product is from SVR’s Sensifine line, which was designed for sensitive skin prone to redness and irritation. This cleanser…

With the update, LRP brought back the SPF 30 version to the Ultra-Light line. The significant changes in this formula are: Improved sun protection, including infrared light: PPD rating increased…

Avène CLEANANCE SOLAIRE SPF 50+ – Review
I get irritated when I think of this product; it is so terrible. I have given it a fair chance, even twice. It is a mattifying sunscreen, and usually, I would buy SPF 30, but it isn’t available, so I’ve opted for SPF 50+. Now I regret it. This sunscreen was formulated for acne-prone skin.…

PDC Direct White EX Whitening Essence – Review
I had been eyeing this product for quite some time. When I was buying this serum, I thought it would do a lot. It is supposed to fight hyperpigmentation, irritation, and moisturise the skin. There are ingredients to support that. Tranexamic acid is a popular ingredient used for treating hyperpigmentation in Japan. Then, there are…

Missha Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence Rx – Review
I don’t even recall which reformulation of the Missha’s essence it is, but it’s another one. If you liked the old version, stock up on it, or forget about it altogether. New formulas are here, and this is one of them. I don’t have much information about the essence, but on the box, it’s written…

Fresh Soy Face Cleanser – Review
This is a very lovely product. I’d used it up so quickly that I even forgot to talk about it here. Fresh point out 4 key ingredients of this product: Amino acid-rich soy proteins help maintain elasticity and healthy skin. Rosewater is notable for its calming and balancing properties. Calming cucumber extract aids in soothing…

Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm – Review
This is one of the first releases of the brand, and it’s one of the products that I like the most from the brand. Omorovicza products are made with the use of thermal water and mud from Hungary, which is known for its thermal springs. One of the things you should do while in Hungary…

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Sensitive Prebiotic Moisturiser – Review
The entire Toleriane range is amazing; they are one of the best products for sensitive on the market. This moisturiser is a new addition to the Toleriane range and a pretty good one. This product was developed with the idea of healing a compromised skin. It’s meant to soothe, protect, and repair the skin barrier.…

Fotoprotector ISDIN Fusion Gel SPF 50+ –Review
Let me start off with saying that this sunscreen has nothing to do with a consistency of a gel, it’s as runny as water. Also, if you can’t tolerate alcohol in your skincare, you may skip this one entirely. ISDIN Fusion Gel (also known as Fusion Gel Sport) is designed for active people doing sports…
