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
Summer is here, at least in the northern hemisphere, and many of us will be changing regular shoes for sandals or sliders, and with that may arrive the anxiety of showing off ashy feet. But fret no more; here’s a product that can ease your worries. This foot cream contains many hydrating ingredients like the… Read More CeraVe SA Renewing Foot Cream – Review
This product has been such a pleasant surprise. It offers very high UV protection with a presentable finish. This sunscreen contains a mix of chemical filters and titanium dioxide, giving us the protection of SPF 100 and PPD 58 (information obtained from Eucerin). Why do they put SPF 100 on the label even though the… Read More Eucerin Actinic Control MD SPF 100 – Review
This sunscreen is terrific, I’ve enjoyed using it, but it doesn’t work for my skin type. This product offers very high protection of SPF 50+ and PA++++(4). The formula includes emollient ingredients as the base, as it’s a stick-type sunscreen and a mix of titanium dioxide with chemical UV filters. There is a bit of… Read More IOPE UV Shield Sun Stick SPF 50+ – Review
What would be a blog like mine without a review of the one and only SK-II Essence? This product has been an irreplaceable staple in the routines of many people globally for years. Despite its price, many keep buying it. The product includes a patented Saccharomycopsis ferment filtrate, called by the company Pitera. The patent might… Read More SK-II Facial Treatment Essence – Review
Let me start by saying that this product is not the same as the Effaclar Serum [aff] in a transparent phial sold in the USA and Spain. The other thing is, why did it take so long for L’Oréal to release this type of serum? Similar formulations have been in their line-ups for years like… Read More La Roche-Posay Effaclar Ultra Concentrated Serum – Review
When I was young, I suffered from eczema, and even though it isn’t my concern anymore, my skin is dry throughout the year. During warm months, flakey skin isn’t a concern as occasional exfoliation with a mitt or a cloth is enough. When the cold months hit, and the heating is in use, I turn… Read More CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream – Review
Sulphur is one of the oldest anti-acne treatments; it has been in use since Roman times. People don’t give sulphur its due; it’s a mighty yet inexpensive ingredient. I use skincare and shampoos with sulphur, and after many years, I am used to its characteristic scent. However, for those of you who can’t stand the… Read More De La Cruz, Ointment, Acne Treatment with 10% Sulfur – Review
This moisturiser is also known under the name ‘Cetaphil Pro Moisturising Night Cream’, that’s the name chosen for the European market. I’ve purchased this product from Amazon, and for some reason, they sell the American version in Europe. There are no formula differences, though. This product is a well-formulated moisturiser ideal for dry and redness-prone… Read More Cetaphil Night Moisturizer for Redness Prone Skin / Pro Moisturising Night Cream – Review

Both of these products have similar purposes, protect and repair skin, but the formulas vary and offer different benefits. I use this product for a variety of skin issues: cuts, minor injuries, after dermatological treatments, or after picking a spot. It is an excellent choice for angered or injured skin (not deep wounds though). It… Read More Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream and Cicalfate Lotion – Review
Here’s a review of another fantastic product by La Roche-Posay. The formula is pretty straightforward; two types of hyaluronic acid for optimal hydration, panthenol (vitamin B5) soothes and helps to repair the skin, and madecassoside, the active ingredient in Centella Asiatica, is anti-inflammatory and helps to stimulate collagen production. We can also find good old… Read More La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Hyaluronic Acid Serum – Review
This product seems to be the fanciest of Bioderma’s products, and it is also probably the most expensive. There is a lot of work behind it, 14 years of research at various research institutes in France. This product is intended for: ‘Damaged skin with superficial cutaneous lesionscaused by dermatological procedures, laser treatments, peelings or incisions… Read More Bioderma Matricium – Review
I am not sure what to say about this product, there are a lot of claims, but not many results. My first issues arise with the ingredients of this serum. It is supposed to be spot and blemish (in my understanding hyperpigmentation) clearing, but there isn’t enough in the formula to deliver these effects. We… Read More CosRx AC Collection Blemish Spot Clearing Serum – Review
