PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Welcome back to my traditional End of year Beauty Empties post where I show you everything I finished over the course of the year while moaning about what a bad idea it was to collect all my trash for such a long period of time.     Seeing that I have been doing that since 2021 I don’t think I will…

Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe Serum Review: Gentle Vitamin C for Sensitive 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   I love Vitamin C, but I’ve had mixed experiences with the oil-soluble versions that are often recommended for sensitive skin. Stable and less irritating? Sure. But that oily feeling? Not for me. So, I was skeptical about the Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe Vitamin C Serum using an oil-soluble derivative of Ascorbic Acid and not exactly cheap at 82 €.     Would…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   As soon as the weather gets colder, our skin starts to act up. It gets tight, itchy, looks flaky and dull and maybe even starts to break out more than you are used to. What if I told you that the underlying problem in all of these cases is most likely a change in the skins moisture content aka dehydrated skin?…

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 have a new skincare stash update and what can I say – it features no new devices! Which is I admit, a relief, as I already have a huge backlog of face masks waiting for a review. But even without the electronics, there is a ton of good stuff to show. Remedy skincare for example, founded by Dr. Muneeb Shah…

If you can’t stop picking your skin: Dermatillomania and Acne excoriee explained | 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   We’ve all been there—standing in front of the mirror, that one pimple staring back at you, practically begging to be picked. You’re just going to „help it along.“ It will make things better. Help it clear faster, right? Wrong. Picking your acne will always make it worse and increase the risk of acne scars and hyperpigmentation. And we all know that.…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   An exfoliating mask trending on TikTok – that statement about the Banish Pumpkin Enzyme Masque had me intrigued. Does trending mean it actually gets recommended? I am not on TikTok that often, but I remember the hype around a similar mask from Peter Thomas Roth a few years ago, praised as effective exfoliation for all skin types. Is the same true…

Timeless Matrixyl Synthe´6 Serum vs the Matrixyl 3000 HA Serum | 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   When you look at the “Bestseller” page on the Timeless skincare website, the Timeless Matrixyl Synthe´6 Serum features prominently. What doesn’t feature is the Timeless Matrixyl 3000 HA Serum, and that made me curious. Why is the Synthe´6 one so much more popular?     Is it because it is directly aimed at more mature skin, a group more interested in…
