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
Are you struggling with dry hands? Follow these three easy steps to restore your dry hands: 1. On damp, clean hands apply a few drops of a hydrating serum with skin-soothing components like the La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5; 2. Then, use a thick hand cream with ingredients that strengthen your skin barrier like the La Roche-Posay Cicaplast… Read More How to Restore Dry Hands?
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
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
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
This is my second favourite product from Muji, and it’s pretty similar to other Japanese cleansing oils that I have reviewed. The ingredients list is modest; the formula is based on olive oil mixed with various components to make this product a cleanser. There’s a bit of glycerine and other ingredients found in the Sensitive… Read More Muji Sensitive Skin Oil Cleansing – Review
These are my favourite everyday masks. I mean I use the Sensitive Skin Sheet Masks the most, I always have them around, and they never fail me. The formula of the essence is relatively simple; it is focused around moisturising ingredients such as glycerine. But it is not the only ingredient worth mentioning; we can… Read More Muji Sensitive Skin Sheet Mask – Review
This sunscreen is a last year’s addition to the Skin Aqua lineup. It offers a similar UV protection to the standard Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Milk except this one provides a skin brightening effect. This formula includes a mix of zinc oxide and chemical filters. We can also find two types of hyaluronic acid,… Read More Rohto Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Milk Pink –– Review
This product is from Garnier’s new releases for 2020, and now I understand why La Roche-Posay discontinued the Anthelios Ultra-Light last year (only in Europe). This sunscreen contains solely chemical filters, including L’Oréal’s patented Mexoryls XL & SX. Garnier are the cheapest brand if you want to use Mexoryls without spending too much for sunscreens… Read More Garnier Ambre Solaire Ultra-Light Sensitive Face Fluid SPF 50+ – Review
