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.…

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…

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.…

Hada Labo Tokyo Intense Hydrating Skin-Plumping Gel – Review
Some time ago, I reviewed a few of products from the Hada Labo Tokyo range. Today I am back with another product – Hada Labo Tokyo Intense Hydrating Skin-Plumping Gel. Hada Labo Tokyo describe this moisturiser as: ‘luxurious silky gel cream [which] combines the skin perfecting power of a serum with the intense hydration of…

My Favourite Hand Creams: La Roche-Posay Cicaplast & SVR Topialyse
The winter time is the period of the year when two things of my routine are more important than in other seasons — my body lotion and hand cream. These two are indispensable for me, growing up with atopic dermatitis and still dealing with very dry skin, I can’t go outside without a hand cream.…

Weleda Almond Soothing Cleansing Lotion – Review
I am sorry, I have gone quiet for a while (again…). I’ve been busy, but I promise to catch up ASAP! I hope you will enjoy today’s review. I like Weleda. It’s a good, German brand making nature-oriented skincare, just like many German brands, e.g. Alverde, Dr Hauschka. Though I am not a particular fan…

Cure Natural Aqua Gel & Cure Water Treatment Skin Cream – Review
Cure’s Natural Aqua Gel is one of the most known products amongst Asian beauty lovers. I think it’s the product that initiated the cult of peeling gels. If you haven’t heard about it yet, soon you will. The other one, Cure Water Treatment Skin Cream was a complete novelty for me, I’d had no idea…

Contractubex – Review
I don’t know if you recall, but I do very well when a few years ago Heal Gel was one of the most blogged products. The UK seemed like a perilous place, where hot cooking oil drops down from the sky, and people stab each other in the streets. That’s the impression you were getting…

The Battle of Shaving Products: PC4Men, Avène, Bulldog Skincare, Proraso.
Shaving is one of the main steps in my skincare routine. I do it almost daily, and it can be a drag. I think everyone who does it on a regular basis goes through the struggle of finding the right method of shaving, which involves trusted tools and products. For me, the best and most…

My Favourite Clay Cleansers: Alverde, Ren, Sunday Riley
Clay cleansers may resemble a water-downed version of a clay mask, at least I think about them this way. They are usually a gentle and effective way to cleanse the skin especially when you have acne. Like a clay mask they help to purify and balance the skin, and as we may not always have…

Altruist Dermatologist Sunscreen SPF 30 – Review
Before I heard the story behind Altruist sunscreens, I had seen them a couple of times in my local chemist’s shop. On the grey tube, there’s a prominent ‘Dermatologist’ writing. I thought to myself ‘another lousy doctor’s brand’ with a doctor that agreed to give his/her name for a share in sales; though, the products…

SVR Sebiaclear Cream/Crème SPF 50 – Review
I remember the first SVR’s sunscreen for acne-prone skin. It was a thick, white, zinc oxide based pomade that you could spread on your face, but good luck going out with it. You ended up with a geisha-like face that would melt after a few minutes of being in the sun. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?…

Self-tanners Review: Clarins Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster & Dove Visible Glow Gradual Self-Tan Fair to Medium
Springtime has arrived, and so have the first warm days. Many people did not miss on the opportunity to take advantage of it and equipped themselves in lobster-red skin, which gives me shivers. Spring and summer time is when the brands start to roll out new sunscreens, I have already seen many new ones available…

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra Overnight Moisturiser – Review
I came across La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra Overnight Moisturiser a long time ago. It was when I wanted to find a dupe for Cerave PM moisturiser as I hadn’t had access to it. This product is alike; it provides similar texture and results, but different ingredients. It’s one of the best products from LRP for…

La Roche-Posay Rosaliac AR Intense Serum – Review
At any time of the year, I use at least one of La Roche-Posay’s products, as there are many great ones. I’ve known the Rosaliac range for many years now; Rosaliac UV Light moisturiser is one of my favourite anti-redness products. I’ve gone through many tubes of it over the years. So when LRP released…

YesStyle Beauty – Basics+ Beauty Sample Set || Review
I like to order beauty boxes; I love the excitement of receiving something new and unknown. I don’t prefer beauty box subscriptions as beauty boxes are usually aimed at females and include quite a lot of makeup products. I get it, girls are better shoppers, but can we have skincare only boxes? Anyway. I’ve wanted…

Hada Labo Tokyo – Review
I think everyone interested in Asian skincare has heard or come by Hada Labo (HL) at some point. They are one of the most popular brands in Japan and outside of it. However, today’s focus will be on Hada Labo Tokyo, which is technically Hada Labo’s Gokujyun line, but with a different name. I don’t…

Earth’s Care Acne Treatment Mask, Sulfur 5% – Review
While browsing the Internet for acne treatments, for sure you will come across articles or forums mentioning ingredients such as salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and … sulphur! It is one of the oldest components known to fight acne. It has lost on popularity a lot, especially in Europe where it is hard to find products…

SVR Sebiaclear Hydra – Review
This had to be my first review. SVR Sebiaclear Hydra is the product that I use the most throughout the year; and the only product on which I stock up in large quantities. Although SVR don’t seem to be very popular outside France, they are one of my favourite pharmacy brands, and this product proves…
