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 and Gorgeous released their new high strength retinal recently, the Geek and Gorgeous A-Game 20.

innisfree Intensive Hydrating Cream with Green Tea Seed Review: Hydration for Dry 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   You shouldn’t confuse the innisfree Intensive Hydrating Cream with Green Tea Seed and the innisfree Green Tea Seed Hyaluronic Acid Cream as despite very the similar name, one is made for dry skins and the other is apparently much more lightweight.     I have however only tried the Intensive Hydrating Cream with Green Tea Seed, the one made with dry…

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   Acne is an inflammatory skin condition, and getting the inflammation down amidst the often irritating treatments we use often doesn’t get the attention it should. In their Tea Trica line SKIN1004 has the SKIN1004 Tea Trica Relief Ampoule that aims to do exactly that: Bring relief to your skin by calming the inflammation.     But does it deliver on that…

Vegreen Fragrance-Free Cica Serum – soothing the skin | Doctors Review

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   In a world full of skincare actives that exfoliate, stimulate and do whatever else we want them to do, one thing often gets overlooked: The power of hydration and soothing for skin that looks (and feels!) its best. The Vegreen Fragrance-Free Cica Serum is one of the products that focuses only on this, not uncommon in Korean skincare brands and essential…

Medik8 Crystal Retinal Review: Worth the Investment? | 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 remember a time when there was only one brand that offered a Retinaldehyde product, and that brand was Medik8. They weren’t cheap, but if there is no competition, that usually isn’t an issue. With more affordable Retinal products on the market now though, is their Medik8 Crystal Retinal still worth paying for?     Medik8 has six different strengths available,…

Vegreen Skin Barrier Reishi Serum – so much mushroom | Doctor Anne

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   There was a time when mushrooms really had a moment in skincare. And no, I am not talking shrooms here that make you feel more positive about your situation, I am talking actual skincare ingredients like they are present in the Vegreen Skin Barrier Reishi Serum I want to talk about today.     The main claim here is strengthening the…

NERRA Body Wash and Dry Body Oil Review – Hammam experience at home? | 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   For the longest time taking care of the skin on my body was more of an afterthought than something I invested time and money in. I use my shampoo as body wash, a drugstore moisturizer afterwards and to be honest never felt like I was missing out. That changed when NERRA send me two of their four products designed to create…

Should You Try the Banish Pumpkin Enzyme Masque? My Review of TikTok’s Viral Exfoliating Mask | 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   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…

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 packaging of the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Poremizing Light Gel Cream reminds me of a board game my daughter used to love. It was called “Unicorn Glitterluck”, in which 4 unicorns had to escape a rain cloud by sliding over rainbows and getting distracted by eating muffins. Why? Because I wonder if people that never outgrow their glittery unicorn phase are…
