    The Best Drunk Elephant Products Worth Your Money [2023 Edition]

    I never thought anyone could take the place of Paula’s Choice in my heart (and skincare stash). But gosh, Drunk Elephant is giving it its best shot.

    Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel: Is It Really Suitable For Dry Skin?

    Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel is one of those moisturizers I would have snubbed until a couple of years ago.

    Best Clinique Products (Based On Science, NOT Hype) In 2023

    And the awards for “Best Clinique Products” goes to… Oh my, was it hard to pick. Clinique is one of the few skincare brands I bother to check out at department stores. While everyone else (yes, La Mer, I’m looking at you) asks you for a kidney for a basic moisturising cream, Clinique fills its […]
