Kate Somerville DeliKate Recovery Cream – Review
I’d wanted to try Kate Somerville’s products for a while, though they aren’t the cheapest and easiest to get in Europe. However, last year, I found a good deal on a set from KS, so I decided to give this brand a try. The moisturiser comprises a host of moisture-retaining ingredients such as fatty alcohols,…

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…

Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Liquid – Review
This product is intended for people with acne-prone skin. It’s a good alternative for those who can’t or don’t want to use conventional cleansing oils. The ingredients list is modest, there are emulsifiers, moisturising agents, solvents, and preservatives. No fragrance or dyes; the product smells like glycerine mixed with ethanol. It doesn’t cause any dryness…

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…

Clean & Clear Deep Action Cream Wash – Review
There has been an influx of low-budget brands promising affordable skincare loaded with active ingredients in recent years. Such marketing usually lures us because the more, the better. Right?! But, anyone could fix up similar concoctions in their kitchens and probably for less. You can dump heaps of ingredients into a formula, but it doesn’t mean that a product will work.…

Kokuryudo Privacy UV Face Powder SPF 50 – Review
When it comes to sunscreens, we all know that sometimes they tend to be shiny. It happens either because of their oily base or the sebum production, which increases in hot weather, and it’s when my face powders become helpful. I usually use regular non-SPF powders, but I thought I would use a specific powder…

Shiseido Clear Suncare Stick SPF 50+ – Review
I like sunscreens, but I can’t stand the feeling of oily substances on my palms. I need to wash my hands after reapplying sunscreen, and it’s not always possible, especially in summer, when I reapply sunscreen more often than in any other season. For me sunscreen sticks are, without a doubt, essential. This formula includes…

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.…

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…

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…

SK-II Facial Treatment Essence – Review
What would be a blog like mine without a review of the one and only SK-II Essence? This product has been an irreplaceable staple in the routines of many people globally for years. Despite its price, many keep buying it. The product includes a patented Saccharomycopsis ferment filtrate, called by the company Pitera. The patent might…

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Ultra Concentrated Serum – Review
Let me start by saying that this product is not the same as the Effaclar Serum [aff] in a transparent phial sold in the USA and Spain. The other thing is, why did it take so long for L’Oréal to release this type of serum? Similar formulations have been in their line-ups for years like…

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…

De La Cruz, Ointment, Acne Treatment with 10% Sulfur – Review
Sulphur is one of the oldest anti-acne treatments; it has been in use since Roman times. People don’t give sulphur its due; it’s a mighty yet inexpensive ingredient. I use skincare and shampoos with sulphur, and after many years, I am used to its characteristic scent. However, for those of you who can’t stand the…

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…

Bioderma Matricium – Review
This product seems to be the fanciest of Bioderma’s products, and it is also probably the most expensive. There is a lot of work behind it, 14 years of research at various research institutes in France. This product is intended for: ‘Damaged skin with superficial cutaneous lesionscaused by dermatological procedures, laser treatments, peelings or incisions…

CosRx AC Collection Blemish Spot Clearing Serum – Review
I am not sure what to say about this product, there are a lot of claims, but not many results. My first issues arise with the ingredients of this serum. It is supposed to be spot and blemish (in my understanding hyperpigmentation) clearing, but there isn’t enough in the formula to deliver these effects. We…
