Last year, I began to skip cleansing my face in the morning and use toner instead. It seems to work for my skin, so I continue doing that. After finishing the Future Solution LX Concentrated Balancing Softener, I moved on to the Aqua Label White Care Lotion. The toner includes tranexamic acid as its main… Read More Shiseido Aqua Label White Care Lotion – Review
When it comes to sunscreens, we all know that sometimes they tend to be shiny. It happens either because of their oily base or the sebum production, which increases in hot weather, and it’s when my face powders become helpful. I usually use regular non-SPF powders, but I thought I would use a specific powder… Read More Kokuryudo Privacy UV Face Powder SPF 50 – Review
This summer hasn’t been too blazing in Italy so far. Unfortunately, though, the hottest days are yet to arrive, which supposedly will happen this weekend. When it’s boiling outside, I struggle to function, so I always look for different ways to stay cool and fresh, like drinking ice-cold water or spending as much time as… Read More Shiseido Ultimune Defense Refresh Mist – Review
I like sunscreens, but I can’t stand the feeling of oily substances on my palms. I need to wash my hands after reapplying sunscreen, and it’s not always possible, especially in summer, when I reapply sunscreen more often than in any other season. For me sunscreen sticks are, without a doubt, essential. This formula includes… Read More Shiseido Clear Suncare Stick SPF 50+ – Review
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
I don’t usually review dietary supplements because I don’t think it’s my place to recommend to people things that can significantly impact their health. However, for this particular product, I will make an exception. The Heliocare supplements are not basic multi-vitamin pills whose contents you will only pee out; they offer scientifically proven results. A… Read More Heliocare Ultra D Capsules – Review
I don’t usually write about skincare marketed for men. I know there are some histological differences between male and female skin. Still, at the end of the day, the division in the skincare industry is about marketing strategies and nothing else. This product is no exception; it will suit everyone. The formula combines zinc oxide… Read More Kao Nivea Men UV Protector SPF50+ – Review
When I first read about the release of this product on ratzillacosme.com (the encyclopaedia of the Japanese beauty industry) earlier this year, I couldn’t wait to try it. However, it has turned out to be incredibly disappointing. The sunscreen combines zinc oxide and chemical filters, offering us high protection of SPF 50+ and PA++++ (4). The unique… Read More Kose Suncut Pro Defense Multi-Block Sunscreen UV Milk – 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
I don’t know what I thought when I was purchasing the sunscreen. Did I believe that L’Oréal, out of nowhere, had started making ungreasy sunscreens? If so, then I am a naive fool. Because the masters of upcycling formulas have done it again, this sunscreen is technically the Anthelios Ultralight-Fluid with few skin-benefiting ingredients. The… Read More Vichy Capital Soleil UV Age Daily SPF50+ Facial Sunscreen – Review
It’s one of the most popular sunscreens among Asian Beauty enthusiasts, I believe. I saw this sunscreen for the first time many years ago, and it has always had positive reviews. I had been avoiding it for years, for an unknown reason, and I should’ve listened to my instinct because this sunscreen is average. It’s… Read More Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV SPF50+ – 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
Last month, one of my readers reached out to me asking about my experience with Bionike’s sunscreens. Honestly, I have little experience with Italian suncare. Before, I had tried two sunscreens from Rilastil, which I had thrown away after a few applications and never attempted to review them – dreadful experience. So when I was… Read More Bionike DEFENCE SUN NO-SHINE FLUID SPF 50+ – Review
This sunscreen was my first Australian sunscreen, from an authentic Australian brand, not an American brand masquerading as Australian. Australia has strict sunscreen regulations, and, usually, Australian suncare offers high anti-UV protection. Unfortunately, this product was disappointing. I bought the product last autumn, without knowing what ingredients it contained, as they had not been listed… Read More Solbari Dry Touch SPF50+ Face Sunscreen – Review
