Holy grail skincare – my favorite products of 2023 | 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   2019 was the first time I did a post called “Holy grail skincare – the products I would immediately repurchase if all my skincare disappeared over night” (you can read it here). It is supposed to be a routine made up of only favorites, the basics I wouldn’t want to be without, and each year I come back to it and…

One year of empties – skincare, hair care and makeup I finished in 2023 | 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   Collecting all the products you use up and throwing them in one huge Empties post at the end of the year always sounds like such a great idea – until you actually have to sit down with a huge bag full of trash to sort through.     Will I ever learn? Probably not. So without further ado, get yourself a…

ADVERTISEMENT INFO:  LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Tiny white bumps on your face that look like whiteheads, but no matter what you try, you can’t pop them? Most likely those are Milia, and while you shouldn’t squeeze anything you have on your face, with Milia it is an especially bad idea.     But what are they, why do they appear and how can you successfully treat them? We will talk about all that today. And as always…

Alpha-H High Tide Water Cream – Unexpected | 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 admit the Alpha-H High Tide Water Cream felt a little out of season for me when I received it, given that we are heading into winter here and most of my water based lightweight textures have been rotated out until next spring.     But as the brand is Australian it makes more sense – they are headed into summer…

facetheory Ocuwake Eye Cream PRO – Reformulated | 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   It is kind of hard to review a product like the facetheory Ocuwake Eye Cream PRO that you only get to know after it was reformulated. “Increased peptide power!” is what they say, and they increased the price quite a bit for that. Now I can imagine you would like to know if that was worth it, but I can’t tell.…

facetheory Glycolacsal Solution – Effective, but… | 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 toners like the facetheory Glycolacsal Solution seem to be really popular. Somehow they are perceived as less intimidating than exfoliating serums, although we all know that concentration and formulation plays a much bigger role than the name a certain product got – I have seen toners that pack way more punch than a serum!   Is that the case here…

TIA’M My Signature C Source Serum – special | 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   When I opened my first bottle of the tia’m My Signature C Source Serum, two things made me pause. Firstly: It really smells like lemonade. And second: It also sounds like a soft drink when you twist open the cap, as it fizzes quite a bit. Nothing I have come across in other serums so far, so I admit I was…

A minimalistic, yet effective skincare routine – back to basic | 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   Not everyone wants to spend hours in the bathroom, I get that. What is the bare minimum I should do to see results? is a question I get quite frequently, and while “results” is something that is very personal, I figured it would be about time to strip back my skincare routine and really boil it down to the things I…

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,…
