    Finally, A Foaming Cleanser That Won’t Leave Your Skin Tight

    Is it me or foaming cleansers have gotten a bad rep lately? I can totally see why. I started using foaming cleansers when I was around 15. Back then, my skin was oilier and pimple-prone. I figured, the more foam a cleanser makes, the better it cleanses my skin and gets rid of the extra oil and […]

    Is The Inkey List Retinol The Best Retinol Serum For Beginners?

    The Inkey List Retinol is one of the gentlest retinol serums I’ve ever tried. Weird, when you think it contains 2 forms of retinoids (the only thing proven to reduce wrinkles, not just their appearance). And that some sources report retinol is here in a staggering 1% concentration (that’s super high – and irritating – […]

    Does Decleor Aromaessence Green Mandarin Smell Too Good To Be Good For Skin?

    I usually avoid skincare products with aroma-anything in the name like the plague. Fragrance has the potential to irritate sensitive skin (mine isn’t) and has no practical uses in skincare. Why use it? But when Decleor Aromaessence Green Mandarin dropped through the email, I decided to break my rule and give it a go (ah, […]

    NIOD Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Complex: A Hyaluronic Acid Serum On Steroids

    NIOD Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Complex (MMHC2 for short) is a Hyaluronic Acid serum on steroids. Trust me, I’ve tried A LOT of Hyaluronic Acid serums over the years BUT none left my skin so hydrated and plump like this baby. For once, I see why all the influencers rave about it (if you’re a regular here, […]
