Geek & Gorgeous AAll Clear Review: 15% Azelaic Acid vs. aPAD

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   Geek & Gorgeous has added a new azelaic acid serum to its lineup: AAll Clear, formulated with 15% pure azelaic acid. But with their popular aPAD serum already available, do we really need another option? And more importantly, which one is better suited to your skin?     I’ve been testing AAll Clear for eight weeks, alternating it with my prescription…

Versed Just Breathe Clarifying Serum Review: Did It Work?

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 you have blemish-prone skin, chances are you’ve come across plenty of serums promising clearer pores, fewer breakouts and less excess oil. The Versed Just Breathe Clarifying Serum was one of them, combining ingredients like niacinamide, zinc and salicylic acid in a lightweight formula designed to keep skin looking clear and balanced.   That sounds really promising! But as always with…

Fall skincare routine for hyperpigmentation: What I’m changing in 2026 and why

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   I love spending time outdoors in summer. My hyperpigmentation unfortunately seems to love that just as much. Because despite wearing sunscreen everyday, my hyperpigmentation seems to creep back in whenever summer comes to an end, which is why the main focus of my fall skincare routine is to fade my hyperpigmentation.     But how should you do that? Not by…

Antioxidants in Skincare: Do You Really Need Them? What the Evidence Says

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   Antioxidants are everywhere in skincare: vitamin C, vitamin E, ferulic acid, CoQ10, green tea, resveratrol…, there is basically no ad where not at least one of them is mentioned. We are told they protect against free radicals, pollution and premature aging, which makes them sound like an obvious essential. But: the clinical evidence isn’t nearly as clear-cut as the marketing.  …

L’Oréal Infaillible Grip 24H Vinyl Liquid Eyeliner Review: Is It Really Waterproof?

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 I wear black liner almost everyday, so if I get a new one like the L’Oréal Paris Infaillible Grip 24h Vinyl Liquid Eyeliner, it isn’t enough if it is nice. It really has to work longterm, everyday, through rain and hectic days and, well, a life well lived to be considered for repurchasing.     And while we were off to a…

Skincare Stash and Life Update Quarter 3 2026 – Medik8, Geek and Gorgeous, and Stylevana | 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   Yes, I know that I am early for my quarterly skincare stash and life update, as September has just started when you are reading this (and it was still Mid-August when I filmed it). But as I am currently traveling (our end of summer and before school begins again vacation in the mountains) I am positive I won‘t add much you‘d…

Are At-Home Skincare Devices Worth It? My 4-Year Results with LED, Radiofrequency & Microcurrent

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   At-home skincare devices have become incredibly popular over the last few years. And I absolutely get why: LED masks promise glowing skin, radiofrequency claims to tighten the skin sagging as we age, microcurrent provides an instant lift with snatched cheekbones instead of puffiness and microneedling is said to tighten, brighten and just overall improve the look of our skin. But do…

Medik8 Exo-PDRN Prismatic+ Serum Review: Worth the €100? | Doctor Anne

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Medik8 built their reputation on something I completely agree with: Vitamin C, Sunscreen, Retinoids. A simple routine based on ingredients with solid evidence. Which is why I was genuinely surprised when they launched a 100 € serum built around topical exosomes and vegan PDRN, the Medik8 Exo-PDRN Prismatic+ Youthful Vitality Serum.     Exosomes and PDRN are two ingredients I’ve covered in detail before,…

Summer Skincare Routine: 8 Changes for Hot Weather | 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 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

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   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?…
