Murad Daily Defense Colloidal Oatmeal Cream – I expected to love it, but… | Doctors Review

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   A moisturizer with a press-down lid – the Murad Daily Defense Colloidal Oatmeal Cream and I were off to a great start. Because even though I don’t have any issues with jar packaging, this version is my favorite.     With that and the other two products from the same line – the cleanser (review here) and the treatment (review here)…

Murad Quick Relief Colloidal Oatmeal Treatment – I used it wrong! | 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 stated before that I am easily one over if a product is called treatment. In case of the Murad Quick Relief Colloidal Oatmeal Treatment the naming isn’t too far from the truth though, and explains why on the packaging it says “for eyes, face and body”.     I admit that when I first read that, I was a…

True Botanicals Chebula Active Serum – What is Chebula? | 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 before I received the True Botanicals Chebula Active Serum, I had never heard about Chebula as a skincare ingredient. Or fruit. Apparently it grows on a tree native to Southern and South East Asia and has been used internally in Ayurvedic Medicine for it’s great antioxidant capacities.   True Botanicals claims to be the one of the first brands…

Murad Soothing Oat and Peptide Cleanser – Comfort blanket | Doctors Review

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I understand that not everyone is willing to spend a lot of money on a cleanser – the Murad Soothing Oat and Peptide Cleanser is not cheap – but for me a great sensory experience is worth spending a little extra. After all I use a cleanser every single day and especially at night, when the day has been rough, a…

facetheory Supergel Moisturiser Oil-Free PRO vs Original – Which one is better? | 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 was really lucky that I got both the original facetheory Supergel Moisturizer Oil-frrr as well as the Supergel Moisturizer PRO that promises more actives, but also is quite a bit more expensive than the original. That way I get to compare them side by side and am able to tell you what has changed – other than the ingredients. Does…

Balea Beauty Expert Hydration Toner – SO good! | 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 the Balea Beauty Expert line is a little niche, as the brand is only available in select parts of the world, but when I saw the Balea Beauty Expert Hydration Toner as new releases in my local DM, I knew I had to pick it up.   Some of the products I tried from the line were really good,…

facetheory Lumizela Azelaic Acid A10 Serum – Breakfast serum | 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   When you look at the ingredient list, the facetheory Lumizela Azelaic Acid A10 Serum sounds like breakfast. At least based on what I eat during the week, you don’t find fancy croissants here. Because other than the Azelaic Acid, which is derived from wheat,there are quite a few other things included that have potential skin benefits, but are also healthy and…

facetheory Polypep Collagen Boosting Serum PRO – increased peptide power | 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   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”. For some that meant the addition of peptides to previously peptide-free products, for others like the facetheory Polypep Collagen Boosting Serum Pro, that additional peptides were added to enhance performance.…

Alpha-H High Tide Water Cream – Unexpected | 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 the Alpha-H High Tide Water Cream felt a little out of season for me when I received it, given that we are heading into winter here and most of my water based lightweight textures have been rotated out until next spring.     But as the brand is Australian it makes more sense – they are headed into summer…

facetheory Exaglow Serum with 5% Tranexamic Acid – a great supporting act | Doctors Review

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…
