facetheory Clarifying Cleanser C2 – for grown-ups | 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 Exfoliating cleansers like the facetheory Clarifying Cleanser are often a good alternative for those that don’t tolerate leave-on exfoliants, as they are basically a form of short-contact therapy that might not be as effective as leave-on, but reduces the risk of irritation and can often be used more frequently. The reasons why your skin gets easily irritated are many,…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER I know that actives in a cleanser like the Vitamin C in the facetheory Vitamin C Cream Cleanser are a little controversial as some people claim they aren’t effective as they are going to go down the drain, but there are ways to formulate that can make the actives stick to the skin even if the product itself is rinsed off.…

pixi DetoxifEYE Serum – a morning pick me up | 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 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…

e.l.f. Blemish Breakthrough Acne Clarifying Cleanser – Only for teenage skin? | 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 Sometimes skincare is a throwback to the olden days when I was a teenager – the elf Blemish Breakthrough Acne Clarifying Cleanser for example. 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 think by now I have three different tubes of pixi eye patches in my fridge, the latest being the pixi Dream-yEye Replenishing PM patches. Now just to be clear, you don’t need three different ones, to be honest you don’t even need one tube to have a good skincare routine, and you surely don’t need to keep them in the…

Murad Rapid Relief Acne Spot Treatment – What can you expect? | 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 claims regarding the Murad Rapid Relief Acne Spot Treatment on their website use all kinds of superlatives – “within 4 hours”, “97% agree…”, “maximum strength formula” and usually that would make me suspicious. But as Murad is a brand I have used for a long time and whose claims I trust, I decided to look a little deeper to see…

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…

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.
