Murad Rapid Relief Acne Spot Treatment – What can you expect? | Doctors Review

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   The claims regarding the Murad Rapid Relief Acne Spot Treatment on their website use all kinds of superlatives – “within 4 hours”, “97% agree…”, “maximum strength formula” and usually that would make me suspicious. But as Murad is a brand I have used for a long time and whose claims I trust, I decided to look a little deeper to see…

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Air-Fit Suncream Light SPF 30 PA++++ – Surprisingly heavy | Doctors Review

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   Please tell me that I am not the only one that expects a Korean sunscreen called SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Air-Fit Suncream Light to be, well, light in application? Especially when it is only SPF 30, something I usually see associated with cosmetically more elegant formulations. While you usually see me talking about SPF 50+ sunscreens here and I do prefer them,…

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 The brand Beekman 1802 has a lot of features they would probably love to be mentioned here – they are certified microbiome-friendly, believe in the power of goat milk, have a kindness program – but I want to first and foremost mention the packaging of the Beekman 1802 Bloom Cream Daily Face Cream.

Beekman 1802 Smooth Booster Willow Bark Exfoliating Serum – hundreds of years ago | Doctors Review

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 Beekman 1802 might sport the 1802 in the brand name, but the company itself was founded much later. It gets its name from the farm the products like the Beekman 1802 Smooth Booster I want to talk about today were created. Created as in “thought into existence”, thankfully no one here claims to mix them by hand at the kitchen table. They…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I have found my favorite Vitamin C serum a while ago. It ticks all the boxes, is affordable, never failed me… still I feel the need to stray sometimes, just for the excitement of trying something new. And the latest one that led me astray? The Alpha-H Advocate Vitamin C Serum. You see, Vitamin C is a fickle ingredient, hard to…

1 year of skincare devices with LED, microcurrent and radiofrequency – What has changed? | Doctors Review

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 started properly using my first skincare device, the Current Body Skin LED mask, around 15 months ago at the age of 42. And with properly I mean regularly and as intended, I already owned a NuFACE, but never managed to stick to it, so I wasn’t able to judge any results. As I was happy with the LED mask results…

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 admit it rarely happens that I look at a product and have no clue what it is supposed to do, but the NIOD Non-Acid Acid Precursor 15% left me confused. What is an acid precursor? What is it supposed to do in the skin?     Where do the 15% come from? And where do I fit it into my routine?…

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Blue Serum – golden ratio | Doctors Review

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 actually mentioned the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Blue Serum before on the blog, as part of a summer skincare routine featuring only SKIN1004 products (More info: Summer skincare routine using only SKIN1004 and Tretinoin), but as that was already in 2021 and not as in-depth as I usually do product posts, I figured it deserved a dedicated review.    …
