CeraVe SA Renewing Foot Cream – Review
Summer is here, at least in the northern hemisphere, and many of us will be changing regular shoes for sandals or sliders, and with that may arrive the anxiety of showing off ashy feet. But fret no more; here’s a product that can ease your worries. This foot cream contains many hydrating ingredients like the…

Eucerin Actinic Control MD SPF 100 – Review
This product has been such a pleasant surprise. It offers very high UV protection with a presentable finish. This sunscreen contains a mix of chemical filters and titanium dioxide, giving us the protection of SPF 100 and PPD 58 (information obtained from Eucerin). Why do they put SPF 100 on the label even though the…

CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream – Review
When I was young, I suffered from eczema, and even though it isn’t my concern anymore, my skin is dry throughout the year. During warm months, flakey skin isn’t a concern as occasional exfoliation with a mitt or a cloth is enough. When the cold months hit, and the heating is in use, I turn…

Cetaphil Night Moisturizer for Redness Prone Skin / Pro Moisturising Night Cream – Review
This moisturiser is also known under the name ‘Cetaphil Pro Moisturising Night Cream’, that’s the name chosen for the European market. I’ve purchased this product from Amazon, and for some reason, they sell the American version in Europe. There are no formula differences, though. This product is a well-formulated moisturiser ideal for dry and redness-prone…

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Gel B5 – Review
This Gel is a lesser-known sister of the Cicaplast Balm, a lot of people don’t seem to know about its existence. I prefer it over the balm – I think the Gel is more effective and has a better texture. This product contains many humectants and emollients, but there are also many other skin-benefiting ingredients.…

CosRx Advanced Snail Peptide Eye Cream – Review
The Advanced Snail Peptide Eye Cream is one of the newest additions to CosRx’s lineup, and as always CosRx didn’t disappoint. The main ingredient in this product is snail secretion filtrate constituting 72% of the formula. Snail secretion filtrate is mainly known for its skin-rejuvenating properties; it calms the skin, takes away redness, and helps…

Hada Labo Shirojyun Arbutin Whitening Cream – Review
Here is another review of a moisturiser from the Hada Labo family. The main active ingredient of this moisturiser is arbutin, which is known for diminishing hyperpigmentation and overall brightening the skin tone. There’s also a vitamin C derivative in the form of magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, which shares similar functions to arbutin. As in all…

Indeed Labs 10 Balm Soothing Cream – Review
This product has a simple name, but not so simple ingredients. The product contains ten main ingredients, i.e. allantoin, bisabolol, vitamin E, oils of baobab seed and bruiti as well as extracts of honey, propolis, pollen extract, royal jelly, arnica. The mix of ingredients is rich in antioxidants, minerals, and amino acids. All of the…

Abbazia di San Miniato al Monte Crema Mani / Hand Cream – Review
Florence is known for its antique pharmacies offering various goods from perfumes to skincare. This hand cream comes from the gift shop of the Abbey of St. Minias on the Mountain (it. Abbazia di San Miniato al Monte), which is home to one of the oldest temples in Florence the Basilica of St. Minias on…

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,…

NEOGEN Vita Duo Cream Joan Day Joan Night – Review
I think this product is a modern take on the idea of day and night cream; they are in one jar instead of two — a very bright idea. The ingredients lists of the creams look dense, but in reality, there aren’t many extracts, vitamins, peptides, etc. that we usually find in Korean products. The…

Kanebo Allie Extra UV Facial Gel SPF 50+ PA++++ – Review
Update 31/03/2022: The product has been discontinued. You can read my review of the latest Allie’s sunscreen here. This sunscreen is not the most cosmetically elegant product out there; there are certainly better options available. Despite that, I like this sunscreen, and I am willing to repurchase it next year and let me tell you…

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…

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…

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…
