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   Geek and Gorgeous call their Cheer Up Liquid Exfoliant a regular strength exfoliant, but at the same time claim it can be used up to twice a day. So how strong is it really?

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   Is someone really injecting salmon sperm into their face? As odd as it may sound,  both yes — and no, not literally.

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Welcome back to the Skincare Stash and Life Update for October, again with very little skincare to show you.

I don’t get around to posting as frequently as…

Skincare stash and Life Update September 2025 – r.e.m. beauty again | Doctor Anne

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 am considering renaming these posts into just Life Update, as there is – again – not much skincare to show here. There is some makeup, again from r.e.m. beauty, but I didn’t buy any new skincare products. For good reason, my drawers are overflowing and I have a backlog of things that need a proper review that is longer than…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   If you’ve ever picked up a new “barrier repair” product and thought, “I’ll use this, just in case”, this post is for you. These days, everyone’s talking about the skin barrier. But with that awareness comes something else: quiet anxiety. The fear of doing damage. Of missing a step. Of not protecting your skin enough. And so we layer on barrier…

Sunday Riley C.E.O. Serum Review: Is Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate the best gentle Vitamin C? | Doctor Anne

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   If you’ve ever felt frustrated by Vitamin C serums—either because they irritate your skin or because you’re unsure if they actually work, you’re not alone in that confusion. The skincare world keeps telling us that L-Ascorbic Acid is the gold standard. But what if your skin can’t tolerate it? Or what if the solution everyone recommends isn’t the right fit for…
