Meishoku Medicated Placenta Whitening Eye Cream – Review
I am not into eye creams; I spread near my eyes whatever I apply on the rest of my face, except for exfoliants. However, in winter, the skin around my skin is particularly needier than usual hence I reach for an eye cream from time to time. At the beginning of last winter, I bought…

NEOGEN Dermalogy Cica Repair Snail Essence – Review
As some of you may know, I was using a treatment combining tretinoin with hydroquinone over the summer, which my skin tolerated quite well; I was surprised by how little dryness and irritation I experienced. However, it doesn’t mean that my skin wasn’t dry or aggravated at all. So, I’ve decided to find a product…

Shiseido Aqua Label White Care Lotion – Review
Last year, I began to skip cleansing my face in the morning and use toner instead. It seems to work for my skin, so I continue doing that. After finishing the Future Solution LX Concentrated Balancing Softener, I moved on to the Aqua Label White Care Lotion. The toner includes tranexamic acid as its main…

Shiseido Ultimune Defense Refresh Mist – Review
This summer hasn’t been too blazing in Italy so far. Unfortunately, though, the hottest days are yet to arrive, which supposedly will happen this weekend. When it’s boiling outside, I struggle to function, so I always look for different ways to stay cool and fresh, like drinking ice-cold water or spending as much time as…

Transino Whitening Jelly Lotion – Review
This Jelly is one of the last few active products that I will review this year. If you follow me on Instagram, then you may know that I was prescribed a hydroquinone cream in June, so this is the ultimate product that I had managed to squeeze in for trialing before I had to start the treatment.…

Hada Labo Hada Labo Koi-Gokujyun Whitening Perfect Gel – Review
This cream is one of few products that was not included in this year’s reformulations from the Hada Labo range, which makes me very happy because I can review it. However, the write-up will be short, as the product isn’t that exceptional. The product contains the sought-after tranexamic acid (TA) as the main active ingredient…

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…

Shiseido Tsubaki Premium Repair Hair Mask – Review
I believe I have never blogged about haircare before, and it’s time to change that. Here’s a review of one of my favourite products from Shiseido, the Tsabuki Premium Repair Hair Mask. The mask features Shiseido’s unique technology allowing the active ingredients to penetrate rapidly into hair without the need for the product to stay…

SANA Namerakahonpo Soy Milk Whitening Gel – Review
Here’s a review of a product from a popular Japanese brand, Sana. The formula includes a blend of moisturising and brightening ingredients: two actives, arbutin and liquorice extract, which are well-known to help with hyperpigmentation. There are also fermented soybean and soy milk extracts that aid with skin discolourations. There’s ethanol in the formula, but it…

Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV SPF50+ – Review
It’s one of the most popular sunscreens among Asian Beauty enthusiasts, I believe. I saw this sunscreen for the first time many years ago, and it has always had positive reviews. I had been avoiding it for years, for an unknown reason, and I should’ve listened to my instinct because this sunscreen is average. It’s…
-
Caudalie Divine Oil – Review
French skincare brands are known for many cult products. Oil-based preparations are one of the most hallowed products among beauty enthusiasts. Many people swear by Nuxe’s dry oil, but I am not fond of it; it isn’t moisturising, and it doesn’t smell that great. And what does dry oil even mean? It’s oil, of course,…

IOPE UV Shield Sun Stick SPF 50+ – Review
This sunscreen is terrific, I’ve enjoyed using it, but it doesn’t work for my skin type. This product offers very high protection of SPF 50+ and PA++++(4). The formula includes emollient ingredients as the base, as it’s a stick-type sunscreen and a mix of titanium dioxide with chemical UV filters. There is a bit of…

Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Deep Moisture Comfort Balm & Hydro Boost Whipped Body Balm – Review
I think it won’t be an understatement if I say that I have neglected writing about body care products, yet they play an equally important part in my regimen as products that I apply on my face. Growing up with eczema, applying body lotion was a daily ritual for me, sometimes even more than twice…

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…

Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream and Cicalfate Lotion – Review
Both of these products have similar purposes, protect and repair skin, but the formulas vary and offer different benefits. I use this product for a variety of skin issues: cuts, minor injuries, after dermatological treatments, or after picking a spot. It is an excellent choice for angered or injured skin (not deep wounds though). It…

Muji Sensitive Skin Oil Cleansing – Review
This is my second favourite product from Muji, and it’s pretty similar to other Japanese cleansing oils that I have reviewed. The ingredients list is modest; the formula is based on olive oil mixed with various components to make this product a cleanser. There’s a bit of glycerine and other ingredients found in the Sensitive…

Muji Sensitive Skin Sheet Mask – Review
These are my favourite everyday masks. I mean I use the Sensitive Skin Sheet Masks the most, I always have them around, and they never fail me. The formula of the essence is relatively simple; it is focused around moisturising ingredients such as glycerine. But it is not the only ingredient worth mentioning; we can…
