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…

pixi Clarity Concentrate Serum – Doctors Review | Doctor Anne

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: THIS BLOG POST CONTAINS PR-SAMPLES (GIFTED ITEMS) AND AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE IT. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER. There has been quite a debate about the percentages of active ingredients lately. Some brands take a very straight-forward approach and share their whole formula, while others either just disclose the percentage of their key ingredients or nothing at all. Now it is important to say that I do not believe in the “more is more” approach that many consumers seem to take, picking the brand…

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: THIS BLOG POST USES AFFILIATE LINKS AND CONTAINS PR-SAMPLES (GIFTED ITEMS). I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE IT. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER To be honest, I mainly tried the pixi On the Glow Stick Moisturizer because it is sold as „travel friendly“. I am all about the travel friendly items. Not that I travel all that often anymore, no, but having them in my stash makes me feel as if I might be traveling soon, a reminiscence to „The years before the kids came“ or TYBTKC. (Yeah, not going…
