Cleansing oils are a must-have when you heavily use sunscreen or makeup, and this product is just right for the job. Hada Labo Gokujyun (Moist) Oil Cleansing is one of the most popular J-beauty products. It has a simple formula, yet very powerful. The Cleansing Oil contains a lot of olive oil, similar to DHC’s… Read More Hada Labo Gokujyun Oil Cleansing – Review
Eye creams are one of the topics that polarise people. Some people can’t live without them, and some people classify them as overpriced moisturisers – I am somewhere in between. I buy an eye cream once in a while, but I am never convinced that eye creams do anything more than a face moisturiser. Then… Read More Jo Malone Vitamin E Eye Crème – Review
When I first saw this product, it reminded me of the Bio-Essence Hydra Tri-Action Mask, which was quite popular a few years ago. Mainly it was because both products have an exciting dew-creating gimmick. Technically, when you apply either of the two products, water droplets are supposed to create on the surface of your skin,… Read More CosRx Light Fit Real Water Toner To Cream – Review
Summer is over. Finally! I am not a big fan of hot weather, but as the temperatures drop, it means that it’s the time to take out sweaters, a humidifier, and stock up on hand creams. As my face is mainly oily, with some dry patches in the U zone, my skin below the neck… Read More CeraVe Reparative Hand Cream – Review
Here’s a review of another hydrating product from Clinique, the Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly Anti-Pollution. Clinique’s claims about the product: 24-hour hydrator with Clean Shield Technology™ locks in the good—like moisture—and filters out the bad. Strengthens skin’s moisture barrier and improves resiliency. Unique water-jelly texture feels fresh, penetrates quickly. Oil-free formula is non-sticky, leaves no… Read More Clinique Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly Anti-Pollution – Review
This product was added to the Moisture Surge range, last year. It’s a hydrator that can be used in various ways and here’s how Clinique describe it: More than just a hydrator – just like the rest of the Moisture Surge family – this multitasking formula can be used in a variety of ways: Moisture… Read More Clinique Moisture Surge Hydrating Supercharged Concentrate – Review
I think this product is a modern take on the idea of day and night cream; they are in one jar instead of two — a very bright idea. The ingredients lists of the creams look dense, but in reality, there aren’t many extracts, vitamins, peptides, etc. that we usually find in Korean products. The… Read More NEOGEN Vita Duo Cream Joan Day Joan Night – Review
This sunscreen is not the most cosmetically elegant product out there; there are certainly better options available. Despite that, I like this sunscreen, and I am willing to repurchase it next year and let me tell you why. This sunscreen contains a mixture of chemical filters and zinc oxide. Let me tell you upfront that… Read More Kanebo Allie Extra UV Facial Gel SPF 50+ PA++++ – Review
This vitamin C serum, like many others on the market, is inspired by SkinCeuticals’ CE Ferulic Serum. However, as this is PC’s product, the formula is alcohol-& fragrance-free and loaded with skin-benefiting ingredients. The main ingredients of this serum are: ascorbic acid (15%), ferulic acid, and vitamin E. Other, noteworthy components include hyaluronic acid, bisabolol,… Read More Paula’s Choice C15 Super Booster – Review
This product is Avon’s response to the hype for vitamin C serums, which started a few years ago. In short, it’s not that exciting. This vitamin C serum includes the most potent form of vitamin C, namely ascorbic acid, at the concentration of 10%. It’s problematic to stabilise ascorbic acid and keep it from oxidising… Read More Avon Anew Vitamin C Radiance Maximising Serum – Review
This sunscreen is the 2019 version of the UV Expert Aqua Gel. I’ve picked up the gel version, as I’d thought a gel sunscreen would be light and more suitable for hot, summery weather. Similarly to the Lancôme UV Expert Milky Bright, which I reviewed a few months ago, this product provides high protection against… Read More Lancôme UV Expert Aqua Gel SPF 50 PA++++ (2019 Version) – Review
This mask was released during the period when Korean brands were introducing cica lines. Just like most of the other products, this one also contains cantella asiatica – the ingredient that we all love and look out for. This product has a thick and creamy, gel-like consistency, but it absorbs pretty well. A little goes… Read More Etude House Soon Jung Panthensoside 5 Cica Sleeping Pack – Review
As much as I enjoy using acid toners on a regular basis, I like exfoliating treatments because they bring better results instantly, such as the Omorovicza Copper Peel. I know that it’s not the cheapest, but in my opinion, it’s worth the price tag. The peel is supposed to help us with the look of enlarged… Read More Omorovicza Copper Peel – Review
I like this mask – it does what it says on the box, and it’s relatively affordable. I have gone through a few jars of this mask since its launch. By the way, in some markets, it’s also called Anew Clinical Overnight Hydration Mask. Here’s what Avon say about it: The unique gel formula is… Read More Avon Anew Clinical Defend & Repair Advanced Hydration Overnight Mask – Review
