PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   You might have noticed on their website that many facetheory products now come as original version and as PRO version, in which according to the brand “their peptide power was increased”.

facetheory Exaglow Serum with 5% Tranexamic Acid – a great supporting act | 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 have mentioned the facetheory Exaglow Serum in three different posts already without giving you a proper review, and the only explanation I have is that I received it at the end of summer when I usually switch the focus of my routine to fighting hyperpigmentation. (You can find them here: The 10 best ingredients to fight hyperpigmentation, The best way…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I can’t imagine you have NOT heard of The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum yet, the bright pink serum has been all over the internet for weeks now. It took me a while to properly test it though, as the effect on the skin isn’t as easily to judge as it is with other products.     Good thing we…

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 I opened my first bottle of the tia’m My Signature C Source Serum, two things made me pause. Firstly: It really smells like lemonade. And second: It also sounds like a soft drink when you twist open the cap, as it fizzes quite a bit. Nothing I have come across in other serums so far, so I admit I was…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER The innisfree Intensive Hydrating Serum with Green Tea Seed was what I took with me whenever bringing my Vitamin C was not an option – when we went camping for example, so the bottle would have been exposed to light, temperature changes and all the other changes fickle L-Ascorbic Acid wouldn‘t tolerate without turning one me.     Whenever that happens, I…

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…

NIOD Non-Acid Acid Precursor 15% – What is it? | 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 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.    …

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I am a fan of alliterations, I really am, but calling the product Glow Recipe Plum Plump Hyaluronic Serum? I mean, have you ever looked at a plum and thought „that plumpness“? It might be my medical background, but when I think of plums, I think of prunes and their digestive benefits, so anything but plump and bouncy skin.     Before…
