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.…

PDC Direct White EX Whitening Essence – Review
I had been eyeing this product for quite some time. When I was buying this serum, I thought it would do a lot. It is supposed to fight hyperpigmentation, irritation, and moisturise the skin. There are ingredients to support that. Tranexamic acid is a popular ingredient used for treating hyperpigmentation in Japan. Then, there are…

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…

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.…

Fotoprotector ISDIN Fusion Gel SPF 50+ –Review
Let me start off with saying that this sunscreen has nothing to do with a consistency of a gel, it’s as runny as water. Also, if you can’t tolerate alcohol in your skincare, you may skip this one entirely. ISDIN Fusion Gel (also known as Fusion Gel Sport) is designed for active people doing sports…

Mentholatum Sunplay Clear Water SPF 50+ PA++++ – Review
Mentholatum Sunplay sunscreens are one of the most popular sunscreens in Japan. They are affordable and provide high sun protection. The sunscreen that I am reviewing today is one of the Sunplay sunscreens reformulated last year. Japanese and Koreans sunscreens often go through changes. I find it quite clever, as a brand can adjust products…

SVR Sebiaclear Serum – Review
Today’s review is about an amazing product I am going to say it up front. It’s packed with powerful ingredients, and don’t let the advertising to mislead you. You can use whether you’ve got acne or not. Sebiaclear Serum was developed for adults with acne-prone skin and it has ‘a triple action: anti-blemishes, marks, and…

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…

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.…

SVR SUN SECURE Multi-Resistant Ultra-Matt Gel SPF 50+ – Review
Do you remember when I reviewed this oily mess from SVR supposedly created for acne-prone skin? Well, SVR released a new sunscreen aimed at oily skin types this year – SVR Sun Secure Multi-resistant Ultra-Matt Gel SPF 50+ (that’s a long name). Let me tell you it is better, much better than the previous one. This…

Melano CC Intensive Anti-Spot Essence – Review
Rohto Melano CC Intensive Anti-Spot Essence is the reason why this review on Rohto Melano CC Essence Face Masks happened (if you haven’t read it yet, go ahead). I have been using this Essence for a long time now. It’s my most preferred vitamin C serum as it works, and it’s affordable. (By the way,…

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…

CosRx Low pH Good Morning Cleanser – Review
This is an exciting one; it’s like a guilty pleasure. It’s a foaming gel cleanser, and you can use it as often as you like. How many times have you heard that foaming cleansers are bad for your skin? I bet more than a hundred times. It’s true; foaming face washes aren’t the best for…

Melano CC Essence Face Masks – Review
Melano CC Essence is one of my favourite vitamin C serums. However, I’d never tried anything else from the line, this why I bought the accompanying sheet masks from the line. I finished using the entire box of Rohto Melano CC Essence Face Masks on 18 August (I know this review is overdue) and the…

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…
