Balea Beauty Expert Calming Serum – Ceramides | Doctors Review

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   The Balea Beauty Expert Calming Serum claims to have a 0,3% Ceramide-Complex, which leads to the question: What do Ceramides do for your skin? After all, the Beauty Expert line claims to put a specific focus on effective ingredients, so the Ceramides should have a beneficial effect. (More info: A complete review of the Balea Beauty Expert line)     Well, we…

La Roche Posay Pure Vitamin C10 Serum – Dropper fail | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: PRODUCTS MENTIONED WERE PURCHASED MYSELF AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   There are a few things in skincare I simply can’t say no to, and a Vitamin C Serum is among them. So when in France last summer I picked up a bottle of the La Roche Posay Vitamin C10 Serum  to compare to my long standing favorite from Geek and Gorgeous.     It is not the only Vitamin C option available from the brand,…

Geek and Gorgeous HA 5 Light and Rich – Which one will work for you? | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: PRODUCTS DISCUSSED IN THIS BLOGPOST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER    I am going out on a limb here saying that no one above the age of 25 needs a dedicated Hyaluronic Acid Serum in their routine, let alone two different options. Yet Geek and Gorgeous have two to choose from, the HA 5 Rich and the HA 5 Light. (More info: Ingredient Spotlight Hyaluronic Acid)   But how do they actually differ?…

The Inkey List Omega Water Cream – Versatility | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: PRODUCTS ARE DISCUSSED IN THIS BLOGPOST ARE PURCHASED MYSELF AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   What is the difference between a serum and a moisturizer? The formulation, the purpose and, well, the marketing. Honestly, these days it can be hard to tell without the label if you apply a rich serum or a lightweight gel, and I love that.     My latest example? The Inkey List Omega Water Cream, which is called a lightweight gel…

Geek and Gorgeous B-Bomb 10% Niacinamide Serum – Which skin is it for? | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: PRODUCTS ARE DISCUSSED IN THIS BLOGPOST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   No, you do not need a dedicated Niacinamide Serum in your routine. Niacinamide is in so many skincare products these days that you most likely get enough through your multipurpose products already. With that being said: I almost always have one in my rotation, and the reason for that is my minimalistic approach. Sounds counterintuitive, but on the nights I use…

Biossance Squalane + Copper Peptides Rapid Plumping Serum – Better than The Ordinary and NIOD? | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: 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   Before you look into Copper Peptides, you need to cover your skincare basics – sunscreen, antioxidants and probably a retinoid. But once you did that and, like me, are of a certain age as they say, peptides and especially Copper peptides you might want to consider.     I won’t go into detail on the data today (you can find more info…

NIOD Modulating Glucosides – But what are Glucosides? | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: 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   So, what on earth are Glucosides, giving their name to the NIOD Modulating Glucosides we will review today? Well, they are a pretty broad term describing organic substances in which an alcohol or phenol-group is bound to a sugar.     And no, knowing that didn’t help me understand what the Modulating Glucosides Serum is supposed to do for my skin either.…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I need to preface today’s review of the 107 DEWY GLOW Serum Mist with my usual skin finish preference disclaimer: I am old. When I was young, skin was supposed to be matte, maybe satin, and I spent most of my life combating shine.     And while I no longer cake on powder, it just doesn’t work with my aged skin…

Deciem Hylamide SubQ Skin Serum Review – the ultimate anti-aging serum? | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO:  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 To be honest, I don’t use purely hydrating serums anymore. They might be fine in your twenties, but for someone like me, the Hylamide SubQ Skin Serum is a much better pick. (More info: The best skincare to use in your 20s) You see, hydration is really important, and it still is at age 43, but I want something with a little more…
