Summer Skincare Routine: 8 Changes for Hot Weather | Doctor Anne

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   There are two common mistakes people make with their summer skincare routine during a heatwave: The first is buying an entirely new collection of products. The second is changing nothing, even when their skin suddenly feels oilier, more congested, irritated or simply uncomfortable. The useful approach lies somewhere in between.     Hot weather, increased sweating, water-resistant sunscreen and more time…

L’Oréal Air Volume Mega Mascara Review: Is It Still Worth Buying in 2026? | Doctor Anne

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I just checked, I have been talking about the L’Oréal Air Volume Mega Mascara since 2023. It has been featured in my New In videos, in my empties and has easily become the most repurchased mascara since I started documenting my purchases here on the blog. And yet, I hadn’t managed to write up a proper review yet.     Why?…

Glutathione for Melasma and Dark Spots: Does It Really Work? | Doctor Anne

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   When someone says “glutathione works for pigmentation,” my first question is: which glutathione are we talking about? A serum on your face? A capsule you swallow? A drip going into your vein? Because those are not slightly different versions of the same thing — they are completely different risk-benefit conversations.     Before we even ask whether glutathione works, we also need…

Abib Jericho Rose PHA Toner Review: Gentle Exfoliation for Sensitive Aging Skin? | Doctor Anne

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Today we are doing an Abib Jericho Rose PHA Toner Review — a product that somehow claims to exfoliate, hydrate, firm the skin, reduce wrinkles and still be suitable for sensitive skin. Which immediately makes me suspicious, because usually when skincare tries to do everything, it ends up doing absolutely nothing except adding another layer in your already full routine.  …

Real Barrier Intense Moisture Hyaluronic Cream Review: Ingredients, Barrier Repair & Real Results | Doctor Anne

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   There’s a very specific kind of skincare frustration that tends to show up somewhere in your 40s: your products aren’t failing exactly, but they’re no longer quite enough. Your skin feels drier, a little more reactive, maybe less resilient than it used to be. And suddenly, words like “barrier repair” and “deep hydration” start sounding a lot more relevant than they did…

Skincare Stash and Life Update Quarter 2 2026 – Medik8, Geek and Gorgeous, ZIIP and Maysama | Doctor Anne

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Just three months in and I am already regretting moving my regular New In Updates to quarterly. It is quite hard to keep up with what is actually new if you don’t write it down immediately (which I promised myself I’d do, but the life happened), especially since there were some unexpected parcels last quarter. And then there is the need…

Geek & Gorgeous Zero Feel SPF 50 Review: The Best Sunscreen for People Who Hate Sunscreen? | Doctor Anne

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   You know that wearing sunscreen is the singular most important thing to keep your skin looking its best at any age. And yet you simply can’t bring yourself to do it. Because finding a sunscreen you actually want to wear every day can be surprisingly difficult. Some feel heavy and greasy, others pill underneath makeup, sting the eyes, or leave your…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   My skin is currently more reactive, more breakout prone, with redness and that slightly tired look – welcome to spring!

Dr Sam’s Flawless Moisturiser Intense Review: Is NAD+ Skincare More Than Barrier Repair? | Doctor Anne

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   If your skin has ever felt like it’s one wrong product away from complete rebellion — tight, irritated, and suddenly reacting to everything — then you’ve probably looked for something that actually repairs. And lately, one of the claims I’ve seen pop up additionally in combination with that is this idea of “NAD+ boosting” skincare. So in this Dr Sam’s Flawless Moisturizer…

Skincare Stash and Life Update Quarter 1 2026 – Dr. Sam’s, Abib and old favorites | Doctor Anne

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   In case you missed the regular skincare stash updates: They aren’t gone completely, I just decided to do them quarterly instead of monthly to adapt to my reduced upload schedule. Which, at least that is what I assumed, would lead to a decrease in products acquired anyway. If I now look at the lineup, I am not sure this assumption held…
