• Secret Key Starting Treatment Essence (Rose Edition) – Review

  In my post on favourite mists, I said that if I bother myself with a cotton pad, it’s either for acids or essences. Specifically, I meant fermented essences. I find fermented essences, usually referred to as FTE (First Treatment Essence), very beneficial for my skin. They boost hydration and give the ‘essence glow’ if you…

• My Favourite Mists – La Roche-Posay Serozinc & Caudalie Grape Water

  I usually don’t use regular toners that you apply on cotton pads unless they contain acids. If they don’t, I don’t like to be bothered. I prefer to use toners in a spray bottle. If I get myself to use a moisturising lotion, that would probably be an essence, especially a fermented one — they…

• 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…

• La Roche-Posay Rosaliac AR Intense Serum – Review

  

  At any time of the year, I use at least one of La Roche-Posay’s products, as there are many great ones. I’ve known the Rosaliac range for many years now; Rosaliac UV Light moisturiser is one of my favourite anti-redness products. I’ve gone through many tubes of it over the years. So when LRP released…

• Hada Labo Tokyo – Review

  

  I think everyone interested in Asian skincare has heard or come by Hada Labo (HL) at some point. They are one of the most popular brands in Japan and outside of it. However, today’s focus will be on Hada Labo Tokyo, which is technically Hada Labo’s Gokujyun line, but with a different name. I don’t…

• 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…

• 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…
