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
I think this is one of the oldest Korean sunscreens; I had been postponing buying this sunscreen for years, as I knew it would be just like many other mineral-only sunscreens – drying and ashy. This sunscreen contains titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, not micronised, as well as iron oxides that help to protect from… Read More Innisfree Daily UV Protection Cream No Sebum SPF 35 PA+++ – 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,… Read More Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel SPF 50+ PA++++ (2019 Version) – Review
This sunscreen is a reformulation of the Anthelios Ultra-Light sunscreen. With the update, LRP brought back the SPF 30 version to the Ultra-Light line. The significant changes in this formula are: Improved sun protection, including infrared light: PPD rating increased from 42 to 46, and LRP assert that the product meets standards ‘stricter than the… Read More La Roche-Posay ANTHELIOS SHAKA ULTRA-LIGHT SPF 50+ – Review
I am irritated when I think of this product; it is so terrible. I have given it a fair chance, even twice. It is 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. It… Read More Avène CLEANANCE SOLAIRE SPF 50+ – Review
I had been eyeing this product for quite some time. When I was buying this serum, I thought it would do a lot. It is supposed to fight hyperpigmentation, irritation, and moisturise the skin. There are ingredients to support that. Tranexamic acid is a popular ingredient used for treating hyperpigmentation in Japan. Then, there are… Read More PDC Direct White EX Whitening Essence – Review
The Lululun masks are back! The Lululun Kyoto Sheet Masks review was my most read post in 2018. Every day there were dozens of people flocking in from Google just to read about those sheet masks. I just had to review something from Lululun again. As before, I’ve used these for seven consecutive days, in… Read More Lululun Yamanashi Premium Mask (Peach) – Review
I am back! It’s been a while since I wrote about sunscreens for the last time. So here it goes. I used both of these sunscreens, one till the last drop and the other not as much. I have decided to review these two sunscreens together because they are almost identical from the outside and… Read More The Battle of UV Essence: Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence & Isehan Sunkiller Perfect Water Essence
Shaving is one of the main steps in my skincare routine. I do it almost daily, and it can be a drag. I think everyone who does it on a regular basis goes through the struggle of finding the right method of shaving, which involves trusted tools and products. For me, the best and most… Read More The Battle of Shaving Products: PC4Men, Avène, Bulldog Skincare, Proraso.
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… Read More Tried & Disliked
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
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?… Read More SVR Sebiaclear Cream/Crème SPF 50 – Review
In my last post, I was talking about my top 3 sunscreens. Although I have at least one of those three sunscreens always around, I like to try out new ones. Perhaps you might have noticed the Nivea sunscreen in my Instagram posts. It has been released recently, so there aren’t many, if any, reviews… Read More Nivea UV FACE SHINE CONTROL CREAM SPF 50 – 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… Read More La Roche-Posay Rosaliac AR Intense Serum – Review
