True Botanicals Supersea Firming and Lifting Treatment – Names | 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 know it shouldn’t play a role, but I am hugely influenced by what a product is called. Take the True Botanicals Supersea Firming and Lifting Treatment for example. Not only does it say “firming and lifting”, which catches my attention ever since I passed the 40 years mark a while ago, no, it is also called “treatment”, which – admit…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Cleansing balms always feel luxurious to me, and the True Botanicals Ginger Turmeric Cleansing Balm takes that air of luxury to another level. I mean, just look at the packaging, the heavy glass, the brown and gold color combo… It truly is skincare to keep out on the sink to show it off!     But what’s inside should matter more…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Exfoliating cleansers like the facetheory Clarifying Cleanser are often a good alternative for those that don’t tolerate leave-on exfoliants, as they are basically a form of short-contact therapy that might not be as effective as leave-on, but reduces the risk of irritation and can often be used more frequently.     The reasons why your skin gets easily irritated are many,…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   When you click on the video linked below, you will realize that in the introduction I claim to talk about something else than the regular Korean sunscreens and probably ask yourself: But isn’t the Tocobo Bio Watery Sun Cream SPF 50+ exactly that?

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I think by now I have three different tubes of pixi eye patches in my fridge, the latest being the pixi Dream-yEye Replenishing PM patches. Now just to be clear, you don’t need three different ones, to be honest you don’t even need one tube to have a good skincare routine, and you surely don’t need to keep them in the…

The Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil – magic | 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 If a website uses words like “trifecta” to describe the results of their product as Biossance does when talking about their Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil,  I admit I instantly expect something magical to happen. It might be just me as non-native speaker, but I only hear the word trifecta used in a clerical context, not regularly as part of a skincare…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER It seems that testing new Vitamin C serums is kind of a hobby of mine, so I couldn’t pass on the opportunity to try the Clinical Skin Vitamin C Pro Collagen Serum although I admit, I knew that at this price point it would most likely not replace my current favorite.     Pricewise it costs about the same as the cult…

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Pore-Tight Toner – good for acne? | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PURCHASED MYSELF AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   According to the website, the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Pore-Tight Toner is inspired by the Korean Aqua Peel Facial in that it exfoliates and hydrates at the same time. To achieve that, it features both PHAs or Polyhydroxy Acids, big exfoliating acids that are really gentle because they don’t penetrate the skin as deep as Glycolic Acid for…
