Shiseido Anessa Perfect UV Skincare Milk – Review
This product is one of the most popular sunscreens in Japan, but a lot of people outside of it love this product as well. I had wanted to love it too, but it failed to win my heart. This sunscreen provides SPF 50+ and PA++++ (4), the highest possible ratings in Japan. It 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…

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…

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…

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…

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,…

The Battle of UV Essences: Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence & Isehan Sunkiller Perfect Water Essence
I am back! It’s been a while since I wrote about sunscreens for the last time. So here it goes. I used both of these sunscreens, one till the last drop and the other not as much. I have decided to review these two sunscreens together because they are almost identical from the outside and…

Pixi Glow Peel Pads – Review
Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), which is excellent for many skin types. It improves the suppleness, firmness, also brightens, and overall rejuvenates the skin. The continuous use of products containing glycolic acid can better the appearance of enlarged pores, and research shows that it is helpful in acne treatment. It has a…

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…

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…

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…

SK-II Facial Treatment Clear Lotion – Review
Keeping with the theme of ferments, I will also review the SK II Facial Treatment Clear Lotion. It contains the ferment like the SK-II Essence, galactomyces ferment filtrate. However, this lotion is not all about ferments, but about skin clearing properties, aka chemical exfoliation. This toner contains four acids, AHAs: lactic, citric, and malic acids; BHA:…

Skinoren / Finacea 15% Gel – Review
I started using Skinoren during my teenage years. It was offered to me by my dermatologist as a maintenance treatment after topical antibiotics. Ever since then, I have always been using Skinoren. What are Skinoren and Finacea? Both of these are the trade names of the same azelaic acid treatment produced by Bayer*, in many…

My Top 3 Sunscreens: LRP Anthelios, Biore, Vichy
When it came to this post, I immediately knew about which products I would write. I use these sunscreens most frequently. Using a proper sunblock is a crucial aspect of my skincare routine, and at least one of these three sunscreens is always in my cupboard, ready to be used. Before we go to the…

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…
