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…

Murad Soothing Oat and Peptide Cleanser – Comfort blanket | 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 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…

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…

LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask_EX – milk and honey | 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 The question whether or not products like the LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask_EX are worth a separate category in your routine isn’t one I can easily answer. They belong to the category of products I haven’t quite figured out yet. I mean, I know how to use them, but I don’t know which slot in my routine they should fill – face mask,…

Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Cream – Guacamole | 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   My husband is an amazing cook, and I will get into how that is related to the Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Cream in a minute. First though let me quickly address that on the website, it is called eye sleeping mask in the description.     They explain the difference to a regular eye cream with the „more powerful…

The Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil – magic | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: 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 If a website uses words like “trifecta” to describe the results of their product as Biossance does when talking about their Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil,  I admit I instantly expect something magical to happen. It might be just me as non-native speaker, but I only hear the word trifecta used in a clerical context, not regularly as part of a skincare…

fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Eye Concentrate – Butter in a jar | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PURCHASED MYSELF AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I blame it on the tea theme that I immediately think of butter when I look at the fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Eye Concentrate. Afternoon tea – scones – butter… Does that make sense? Or is it just that I am quite hungry at the moment and would think about food anyway? I am not sure.     Anyway, the fresh…

Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream – Unexpected Love | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO:  PRODUCTS MENTIONED ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER If you had told me five years ago, a texture like the Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream would win my heart, I would not have believed you. I believed there were only two kinds of face creams out there: lotions or gels to suit oily skin like the one I had, or real, heavy creams for those with dry skin, way too rich for me…
