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.

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…

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   Retinol or retinal — which one actually makes sense for your skin, especially as it changes with age? In this review of the Alpha-H Advocate Vitamin A Serum with 0.5% retinol, we’ll take a closer look at one of the most common questions in skincare: Is a “stronger” retinoid automatically the better choice?     Because while retinal is often presented…

EADEM Milk Marvel Review: Gentle Dark Spot Serum or Too Weak? | Doctor Anne

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   If you’ve ever tried to treat hyperpigmentation without irritating your skin, you’ll know how difficult that balance can be. Some dark spot serums promise fast results, but often come at the price of redness, dryness and in the end even more pigmentation as a result.     In this EADEM Milk Marvel Review, we take a closer look at whether this…

Medik8 C-Tetra Advanced Review: 20% THD vs Ascorbic Acid for Aging Skin | Doctor Anne

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   This is a review of the new Medik8 C-Tetra Advanced Gel Serum — but it’s not just about this. It’s about why ‘20% vitamin C’ on a label should make you take a closer look, so you know exactly what you are getting before you purchase. Especially at 85 €.     Because 20% tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is not the same thing…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER I admit I was really excited when I got my hands on my first bottle of The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser. It had been out for some time already when I tried it (the video below is from April 2023, which gives you an idea of how much of a backlog I have with posting on here) and by then I had read…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   If you’ve ever felt frustrated by Vitamin C serums—either because they irritate your skin or because you’re unsure if they actually work, you’re not alone in that confusion. The skincare world keeps telling us that L-Ascorbic Acid is the gold standard. But what if your skin can’t tolerate it? Or what if the solution everyone recommends isn’t the right fit for…
