Geek & Gorgeous Cheer Up Liquid Exfoliant Review: Gentle Daily Exfoliation or Too Weak? | 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   Geek and Gorgeous call their Cheer Up Liquid Exfoliant a regular strength exfoliant, but at the same time claim it can be used up to twice a day. So how strong is it really? Can it be used with sensitive skin? And if it is gentle enough for daily use, will it give you the results you are looking for?  …

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Can a Centella Asiatca Ampoule really calm irritation, layer seamlessly with actives like Tretinoin, and support dehydrated skin without feeling heavy?

PURITO Breeze Water Gel Cream Review: Cooling Hydration or a Letdown? | Doctor Anne

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I do love a lightweight gel cream come summer, so I was convinced the PURITO Breeze Water Gel Cream and I would get along perfectly fine.

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   A lightweight sunscreen with strong UV protection sounds perfect for summer, right? But does the Shiseido Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen live up to the hype? It’s a hybrid formula, so there is some white cast—but how noticeable is it?     I admit I expected a dewy finish.

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Peptides, Growth Factors, and so-called ‘Drone Delivery’—Medik8’s reformulated Liquid Peptides Advanced MP promises firmer, plumper skin with cutting-edge technology. But does it actually improve collagen production and fine lines, or is this just an expensive marketing upgrade?     As always, let’s look at the science, the texture, and whether it’s worth your money.      What the Medik8 Liquid…
