Hakutsuru Medicated Daiginjo Moisturising Cream – Review
Hakutsuru are a well-established sake producer in Japan and overseas. However, their skincare range is not as popular as their spirits. I’ve bought this moisturiser swayed by positive reviews online, and I am not disappointed. The base of the moisturiser includes rice ferment extract known for its hydrating and anti-discolouration properties. On top of that, […]

From Nature Age Intense Treatment Essence – Review
This essence is another popular dupe for the well liked SK II Essence in Korea and outside of it. The main ingredient in this product is galactomyces ferment filtrate, the same type of ferment as in the SK II Essence, but in a higher concentration of 95.7% compared to only 90%. The formula also includes […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil – Review
When I think of DHC, this is the product that comes to my mind, the Deep Cleansing Oil. I think it’s one of their most popular products. Well, at least, that’s what I associate the brand with, but I am not the only who enjoys this product. I like a good cleansing oil. Using an […]

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 […]

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 […]

Sylveco Chamomile Face Wash – Review
Sylveco is a small, Polish brand producing ‘natural’ skincare based on plants without all those nasties. You would call it an indie brand, I suppose. Though, it’s a relatively affordable one. You would suspect that their products are full of fragrance and essential oils, in amounts that can cause irritation. However, it’s not the case […]

Tried & Disliked
Today, I am going to talk about a few products that I’ve tried, and I don’t really care about. All of these products either underwhelmed me or were completely useless. You could call it an empties post, but I couldn’t finish all of these products as they were just disappointing. Alverde – Reinigungsmilch Perfekter Teint […]

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 […]

Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Serum – Review
I wanted to try out this serum for a few reasons: i. Before I had only used Dr. Jart’s sheet masks, and I wanted to discover this brand more; ii. I wanted an anti-redness serum; iii. I wanted to try centella asiatica. So Dr. Jart’s Cicapair Serum seemed like a good fit. Before I get […]

My Favourite Mists – La Roche-Posay Serozinc & Caudalie Grape Water
I usually don’t use regular toners that you apply on cotton pads unless they contain acids. If they don’t, I don’t like to be bothered. I prefer to use toners in a spray bottle. If I get myself to use a moisturising lotion, that would probably be an essence, especially a fermented one — they […]
