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… Read More Shiseido Anessa Perfect UV Skincare Milk – Review

The INKEY List Vitamin C Serum – Review

The INKEY List, one of the few brands that offer exciting ingredients in simple formulas and at bargain prices. Do those products work? I would say they are hit and miss; you never know until you try. This product features 30% of ascorbic acid in a water-less formulation, basically dimethicone and silicone. It’s sort of… Read More The INKEY List Vitamin C Serum – Review

Kanebo Allie Extra UV Facial Gel SPF 50+ PA++++ – 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.

Paula’s Choice C15 Super Booster – 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

Nivea SUN UV Face Soothing Sensitive SPF 50 – Review

This is a new addition to the Nivea SUN line. I would say it’s a better one than the last year’s releases, but it isn’t ideal. This product is similar to last year’s line-up by Nivea. It provides high protection from both UVA and UVB (only chemical filters in this formula) and contains liquorice root… Read More Nivea SUN UV Face Soothing Sensitive SPF 50 – Review

Omorovicza Copper Peel – 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

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… Read More La Roche-Posay PURE VITAMIN C10 SERUM – Review

Missha Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence Rx – Review

I don’t even recall which reformulation of the Missha’s essence it is, but it’s another one. If you liked the old version, stock up on it, or forget about it altogether. New formulas are here, and this is one of them. I don’t have much information about the essence, but on the box, it’s written… Read More Missha Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence Rx – Review

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… Read More Lancôme UV Expert Youth Shield Milky Bright SPF 50 PA++++ – Review

Contractubex / Mederma – Review

I don’t know if you recall, but I do very well when a few years ago Heal Gel was one of the most blogged products. The UK seemed like a perilous place, where hot cooking oil drops down from the sky, and people stab each other in the streets. That’s the impression you were getting… Read More Contractubex / Mederma – Review
