CosRx Light Fit Real Water Toner To Cream – Review
When I first saw this product, it reminded me of the Bio-Essence Hydra Tri-Action Mask, which was quite popular a few years ago. Mainly it was because both products have an exciting dew-creating gimmick. Technically, when you apply either of the two products, water droplets are supposed to create on the surface of your skin,…

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…

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…

How to Alleviate Acne Symptoms?
June is Acne Awareness Month and having suffered from acne myself, I take the issue very seriously and personally. In my posts, I call acne a disease, a skin condition or an ailment, but in reality, it’s a skin disease, and like all disorders, it should be treated by a doctor, more specifically a dermatologist.…

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.

Neutrogena Clear & Defend Facial Wash– Review
This is another BHA cleanser that I am enjoying. After reviewing Sylveco’s cleanser, I wanted to find a product that would be available to more people, and I think this one hits the spot. This product seems to have the gentlest formula amongst all Neutrogena’s salicylic acid face washes, as it doesn’t contain any sulphates.…

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.

La Roche-Posay PURE VITAMIN C10 SERUM – Review
This is a new ascorbic acid serum from La Roche-Posay, not their first ascorbic acid product, though the first in a serum form. I’ve been using it for over a month, and I have almost finished the entire bottle. Here are my thoughts. The serum is meant to help with wrinkles, lack of radiance and…

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…

Lancôme UV Expert Youth Shield Milky Bright SPF 50 PA++++ – Review
This sunscreen is my favourite, new, discovery of this year so far. It is very pleasing to use, and I’m sure many of you will appreciate it. It’s from the higher price shelf, one of the priciest sunscreens I have used in a while, but it feels luxurious on the skin. This product is quite…

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…

Origins HIGH-POTENCY NIGHT-A-MINS Skin Refining Oil – Review
The winter time is the worst for the skin. It gets cold outside, we turn on heaters, and our skin becomes dry. As there are many great products to hydrate the skin, there’s nothing better than a facial oil to keep yourself moisturised. Origins claim that this oil will ‘[d]elete dullness overnight with our amazing…

SVR Sebiaclear Serum – Review
Today’s review is about an amazing product I am going to say it up front. It’s packed with powerful ingredients, and don’t let the advertising to mislead you. You can use whether you’ve got acne or not. Sebiaclear Serum was developed for adults with acne-prone skin and it has ‘a triple action: anti-blemishes, marks, and…
