PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   If your skin has ever felt like it’s one wrong product away from complete rebellion — tight, irritated, and suddenly reacting to everything — then you’ve probably looked for something that actually repairs. And lately, one of the claims I’ve seen pop up additionally in combination with that is this idea of “NAD+ boosting” skincare. So in this Dr Sam’s Flawless Moisturizer…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   In case you missed the regular skincare stash updates: They aren’t gone completely, I just decided to do them quarterly instead of monthly to adapt to my reduced upload schedule. Which, at least that is what I assumed, would lead to a decrease in products acquired anyway. If I now look at the lineup, I am not sure this assumption held…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   If you’ve ever tried to treat hyperpigmentation without irritating your skin, you’ll know how difficult that balance can be.

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   Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common skin concerns I see people struggle with — and also one of the most confusing. Dark spots, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or sun spots can be stubborn, slow to fade, and often seem to come back just when you thought you had them under control. If you have already tried different skincare products without seeing…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   This is a review of the new Medik8 C-Tetra Advanced Gel Serum — but it’s not just about this. It’s about why ‘20% vitamin C’ on a label should make you take a closer look, so you know exactly what you are getting before you purchase.

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Tone-up sunscreens like the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Tone-Up Sunscreen are having a moment — especially those that promise brightening, evening out, and healthy-looking skin without the need for foundation.
