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…

Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel SPF 50+ PA++++ (2019 Version) – Review
Here’s a review of another reformulated sunscreen this year, unfortunately not a successful one. This formula just as the previous one is a mix of chemical filters and titanium dioxide. It is water resistant and suitable for all skin types, intended for both face and body. It also contains hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid,…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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?…

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…
