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.…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

IOPE Men Air Cushion – Review
Everyone is losing their hats because Chanel have released a foundation for men, in Korea, and soon expanding to the West. Really? I mean Koreans have had foundations dedicated to men, or more preferred in the region BB creams, for years now. IOPE, Laneige, Missha, The Face Shop, and many others have makeup products for…

HA: Hyaluronic Acid aka Heatwave Aid – Review of 3 Hyaluronic Acid Products
This year’s heatwave is already here; the Scandinavia and Greece are on fire and many people have died. This week the temperatures went beyond 30 here. The entire continent needs some Siberian breeze urgently. When it’s hot, I get sweaty and grumpy. There is no way I will be doing a full routine. Maybe in…

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…

Paula’s Choice Calm Non-Greasy Moisturiser SPF 30 – Review
When it comes to exclusively mineral sunscreens some of us love them, and some of us hate them, I have mixed feelings about such sunscreens. I value them for how gentle they are for the skin, and basically, all people can use them. I am not always a fan of their texture, to be precise,…

SVR Sebiaclear Cream/Crème SPF 50 – Review
I remember the first SVR’s sunscreen for acne-prone skin. It was a thick, white, zinc oxide based pomade that you could spread on your face, but good luck going out with it. You ended up with a geisha-like face that would melt after a few minutes of being in the sun. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?…

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…

Self-tanners Review: Clarins Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster & Dove Visible Glow Gradual Self-Tan Fair to Medium
Springtime has arrived, and so have the first warm days. Many people did not miss on the opportunity to take advantage of it and equipped themselves in lobster-red skin, which gives me shivers. Spring and summer time is when the brands start to roll out new sunscreens, I have already seen many new ones available…
