PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I often get asked about peptides in skincare, and while I personally use Copper Peptides in my routine year round, I understand that given the lack of evidence we have, most people would rather try something like the Balea Beauty Expert Day Cream with 3% Peptid-Solution & 1% Ectoin  before investing into some of the pricier products out there.

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Over the years I have published many empties posts – I know not everybody likes them, but with the amount of products I test, it actually says something when a product stays in my rotation long enough for me to finish it.     This year I decided on a special project: Collect everything I finish and do a “One year…
