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…

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…

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…

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…

My Favourite Clay Cleansers: Alverde, Ren, Sunday Riley
Clay cleansers may resemble a water-downed version of a clay mask, at least I think about them this way. They are usually a gentle and effective way to cleanse the skin especially when you have acne. Like a clay mask they help to purify and balance the skin, and as we may not always have…

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…

Stridex Strength Medicated Pads – Review
It took me so long to write my first review on a (beta hydroxy acid) BHA product, and I don’t know why. The most known BHA is salicylic acid, and it’s simply one of my favourite acids. I like azelaic, lactic, glycolic, and salicylic acids the most. Don’t mention mandalic acid, in my opinion, it’s…

CosRX Acne Pimple Master Patch – Review
This product may seem simple and unnecessary, that’s what I had been thinking about it before I bought it. I thought it was a gimmicky product, like many Asian products, or CosRx’s silk cocoons for exfoliating face – they do nothing by the way. But oh boy, I was wrong. These patches are a game…

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…

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…

Pai Copaiba & Zinc Perfect Balance Blemish Serum – Review
On the market, there are a lot of serums promising to fight acne, blemishes and what else they have you. They come in various price ranges, promising things they can and cannot do. Though, there is one thing that they all have in common, namely, our disappointment. I have tried many of those miracle makers…

Earth’s Care Acne Treatment Mask, Sulfur 5% – Review
While browsing the Internet for acne treatments, for sure you will come across articles or forums mentioning ingredients such as salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and … sulphur! It is one of the oldest components known to fight acne. It has lost on popularity a lot, especially in Europe where it is hard to find products…

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…
