PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   You know how I feel about the claim of products “detoxifying” anything (if somehow you don’t: it is a scam, your body detoxifies via liver and kidneys, surely not with the help of skincare or supplements), so it took me a while to warm up to the pixi DetoxifEYE Serum.     It does contain caffeine though, just like my long…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER Back in December 2022 I received a few products from the brand Real Barrier, a Korean skincare brand I hadn’t heard of before.

I struggled with acne since my early teens, and back then skincare advice was rare. Especially qualified advice. So I did what everyone did and turned to the drugstore, where I found a variety of affordable, but…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I have talked about different procedures you can do in the office and at home, but so far never touched on microneedling. One of the reasons for that was that I never had it done professionally and am not a big fan of microneedling at home for reasons I will talk about later on.     But first, let’s talk about…
