Neostrata have done a lot for the cosmetic industry as they have done a lot of research on acids – AHAs and PHAs. It’s thanks to Neostrata that we know so much about glycolic acid today. Neostrata are the OG of acid game. This product contains a pretty short, but potent list of ingredients, which… Read More Neostrata Gel Plus – Review
CeraVe’s cleansers divide people some like the Hydrating one, some the Foaming one. Everyone has a favourite; mine is the Foaming Cleanser. I have no idea how people use the other cleanser – it’s thick and doesn’t wash off. But, if you like it, then carry on using it. This cleanser, like most of CeraVe’s… Read More CeraVe Foaming Cleanser – Review
I usually don’t shop from Estee Lauder, they don’t carry many products that catch my attention, but this one is amazing. I notice quite a lot of inspiration from Asian beauty in this product, and let me explain to you why. Estee Lauder’s description of the product: Sheer fresh moisture without excess shine. Supercharges skin… Read More Estee Lauder Nutritious Micro-Algae Pore Minimizing Hydra Lotion – Review
June is Acne Awareness Month and having suffered from acne myself, I take the issue very seriously and personally. In my posts, I call acne a disease, a skin condition or an ailment, but in reality, it’s a skin disease, and like all disorders, it should be treated by a doctor, more specifically a dermatologist.… Read More How to Alleviate Acne Symptoms?
This is another BHA cleanser that I am enjoying. After reviewing Sylveco’s cleanser, I wanted to find a product that would be available to more people, and I think this one hits the spot. This product seems to have the gentlest formula amongst all Neutrogena’s salicylic acid face washes, as it doesn’t contain any sulphates.… Read More Neutrogena Visibly Clear Spot Proofing Daily Wash – 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.… Read More Avène CLEANANCE SOLAIRE SPF 50+ – 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… Read More Pixi Glow Peel Pads – 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… Read More CosRx Low pH Good Morning Cleanser – 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… Read More Melano CC Essence Face Masks – 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… Read More Sylveco Chamomile Face Wash – 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… Read More Stridex Strength Medicated Pads – 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… Read More CosRX Acne Pimple Master Patch – Review
I wanted to try out this serum for a few reasons: i. Before I had only used Dr. Jart’s sheet masks, and I wanted to discover this brand more; ii. I wanted an anti-redness serum; iii. I wanted to try centella asiatica. So Dr. Jart’s Cicapair Serum seemed like a good fit. Before I get… Read More Dr. Jart+ Cicapair 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… Read More Pai Copaiba & Zinc Perfect Balance Blemish Serum – Review
