La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Gel B5 – Review
This Gel is a lesser-known sister of the Cicaplast Balm, a lot of people don’t seem to know about its existence. I prefer it over the balm – I think the Gel is more effective and has a better texture. This product contains many humectants and emollients, but there are also many other skin-benefiting ingredients.…

SkinCeuticals Ultra Facial Defense SPF 50+ – Review
This product is like a bad romance; it’s alright to have a bit of it, but in large amounts, it brings trouble. The Ultra Facial Defense sunscreen has SPF 50+ and PPD rating of 26.4. It is a mixed sunscreen with titanium dioxide, L’Oreal’s Mexoryls XL & SX, and other chemical filters. It is very…

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…

CeraVe Foaming Cleanser – Review
CeraVe’s cleansers divide people some like the Hydrating one, some the Foaming one. Everyone has a favourite; mine is the Foaming Cleanser. I have no idea how people use the other cleanser – it’s thick and doesn’t wash off. But, if you like it, then carry on using it. This cleanser, like most of CeraVe’s…

Kanebo Allie Extra UV Facial Gel SPF 50+ PA++++ – Review
Update 31/03/2022: The product has been discontinued. You can read my review of the latest Allie’s sunscreen here. This sunscreen is not the most cosmetically elegant product out there; there are certainly better options available. Despite that, I like this sunscreen, and I am willing to repurchase it next year and let me tell you…

How to Alleviate Acne Symptoms?
June is Acne Awareness Month and having suffered from acne myself, I take the issue very seriously and personally. In my posts, I call acne a disease, a skin condition or an ailment, but in reality, it’s a skin disease, and like all disorders, it should be treated by a doctor, more specifically a dermatologist.…

Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Milk SPF 50+ – Review
This sunscreen makes me very happy, especially after two recent failures, because it does what it says on the box. Let me start by saying that this product has been repackaged. It’s the same formula but in a sky-blue bottle instead of a yellow one. Don’t confuse it with a new sunscreen in a pink…

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…
