This Jelly is one of the last few active products that I will review this year. If you follow me on Instagram, then you may know that I was prescribed a hydroquinone cream in June, so this is the ultimate product that I had managed to squeeze in for trialing before I had to start the treatment.… Read More Transino Whitening Jelly Lotion – Review
This exfoliant appears to be a European exclusive; it’s produced by Cantabria Labs, a Spanish company, which many of you may know for their brand called Heliocare. The formula of this product is uncomplicated there are two main ingredients glycolic acid (15%) and salicylic acid (2%). Glycolic acid at concentrations higher than 10% is effective… Read More Neostrata Gel Plus Salicylic – 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
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
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
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
Everyone is losing their hats because Chanel have released a foundation for men, in Korea, and soon expanding to the West. Really? I mean Koreans have had foundations dedicated to men, or more preferred in the region BB creams, for years now. IOPE, Laneige, Missha, The Face Shop, and many others have makeup products for… Read More IOPE Men Air Cushion – 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
Shiseido UNO is a relatively affordable line created for men. Many of the products are of an all-in-one type, as it is the case here. This sunscreen is meant to be applied after washing your face or shaving as the only step of your routine. Contrary to what we hear, both Japanese and Korean brands… Read More Shiseido UNO UV Perfection Gel – Review
Before I heard the story behind Altruist sunscreens, I had seen them a couple of times in my local chemist’s shop. On the grey tube, there’s a prominent ‘Dermatologist’ writing. I thought to myself ‘another lousy doctor’s brand’ with a doctor that agreed to give his/her name for a share in sales; though, the products… Read More Altruist Dermatologist Sunscreen SPF 30 – Review
Keeping with the theme of ferments, I will also review the SK II Facial Treatment Clear Lotion. It contains the ferment like the SK-II Essence, galactomyces ferment filtrate. However, this lotion is not all about ferments, but about skin clearing properties, aka chemical exfoliation. This toner contains four acids, AHAs: lactic, citric, and malic acids; BHA:… Read More SK-II Facial Treatment Clear Lotion – 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… Read More Secret Key Starting Treatment Essence (Rose Edition) – 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… Read More SVR Sebiaclear Hydra – Review
