Florasis Ginseng Care Lip Balm – If only… | 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   Apparently ginseng is used by many to prevent respiratory infections and increase wellbeing, but the Florasis Ginseng Care Lip Balm doesn’t claim to do any of that. Although I would argue that dry lips can immensly affect the wellbeing, in which case treating those dry lips would.     If it works against dryness better than a lip balm without ginseng though?…

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule – Sedation | 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 seen skincare claim to sooth or calm irritated skin, but never of a product to sedate the skin. The SKIN1004 Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule though does exactly this. Now you may know I have worked as anaesthesiologist for many years, so sedation was basicaly my bread and butter, but of course using entirely different products.     Now the choice…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   If you have been around for a while, you know I have been using the ZIIP GX since November 2022, when it replaced the NuFACE I had been using until then.

New in Beauty – Currentbody, Catrice, The Ordinary and Lancome

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   When I started writing this post, I thought it wouldn’t be as short as the one last month that featured only two products, but would be makeup exclusive. I had replaced some drugstore favorites from Maybelline and Catrice, nothing too exciting, but hadn’t planned on getting new skin or hair care stuff. Well, that was before I heard that the Currentbody…

Florasis Cordyceps Care Makeup Remover Cream – Good luck and happiness | 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   Whenever a product comes with a spatula, I immediately lose it. Or rather, toss it because I know I won’t use it anyway. In case of the Florasis Cordyceps Care Makeup Remover Cream though, I kept it. Not because I need it, you can scoop some out with your fingers just as well as you can with the spatula, no, because…

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   Fermented ingredients are huge in Korean skincare, and so is Centella Asiatica as ingredient. Well, the SKIN1004 Probio-Cica Essence Toner offers fermented Centella Asiatica – I was intrigued. If you have seen my post about fermented ingredients, you know that the fermentation process breaks down the initial structure into smaller pieces like amino acids and proteins, which, depending on what you…
