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.

CosRx Centella Blemish Ampule – Review
This is one of the original centella asiatica products that sparked the hype around the ingredient a few years ago. Centella asiatica had been used before the hype, but it wasn’t the main ingredient in skincare products. The ampoule contains mainly centella asiatica leaf water, 85%, there’s also extract from the plant, but in a…

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,…

CeraVe Reparative Hand Cream – Review
Summer is over. Finally! I am not a big fan of hot weather, but as the temperatures drop, it means that it’s the time to take out sweaters, a humidifier, and stock up on hand creams. As my face is mainly oily, with some dry patches in the U zone, my skin below the neck…

Clinique Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly Anti-Pollution – Review
Here’s a review of another hydrating product from Clinique, the Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly Anti-Pollution. Clinique’s claims about the product: 24-hour hydrator with Clean Shield Technology™ locks in the good—like moisture—and filters out the bad. Strengthens skin’s moisture barrier and improves resiliency. Unique water-jelly texture feels fresh, penetrates quickly. Oil-free formula is non-sticky, leaves no…

Nivea SUN UV Face Soothing Sensitive SPF 50 – Review
This is a new addition to the Nivea SUN line. I would say it’s a better one than the last year’s releases, but it isn’t ideal. This product is similar to last year’s line-up by Nivea. It provides high protection from both UVA and UVB (only chemical filters in this formula) and contains liquorice root…

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…

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…

Hada Labo Tokyo No. 1 Super Hydrator – Review
Here’s another product from the Hada Labo Tokyo line. This lotion is quite similar to the original lotion sold in Japan; however, the ingredients are slightly different just like in other products from the same line. I picked up a couple of bottles of this lotion last autumn in Poland, and I’ve been using it…

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…

COSRX Ultimate Moisturizing Honey Overnight Mask – Review
This is another forgotten review — the super popular CosRX’s honey mask. It’s a hydrating mask that is also supposed to brighten and soothe the skin. It’s not overloaded with ingredients; the two main elements are propolis extract and natural beeswax, there’s no actual honey in the product. It contains glycerine, dimethicone, and hyaluronic acid.…

CeraVe Moisturising Facial Lotion – Review
I think CeraVe PM Lotion is one of most talked about American skincare products. It’s the amazing cream that everyone swears by. I must say that it’s pretty good, I’ve used the old and the changed formulations. And I agree with people speculating that CeraVe PM Lotion was altered after L’Oreal had acquired CeraVe. Today…

Lululun Yamanashi Premium Mask (Peach) – Review

The Lululun masks are back! The Lululun Kyoto Sheet Masks review was my most read post in 2018. Every day there were dozens of people flocking in from Google just to read about those sheet masks. I just had to review something from Lululun again. As before, I’ve used these for seven consecutive days, in…

Shiseido UNO UV Perfection Gel – Review
Shiseido UNO is a relatively affordable line created for men. Many of the products are of an all-in-one type, as it is the case here. This sunscreen is meant to be applied after washing your face or shaving as the only step of your routine. Contrary to what we hear, both Japanese and Korean brands…
