pixi Dream-yEye Replenishing PM patches – beauty sleep | 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.

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…

Balea Beauty Expert Night Cream with 0,3% Retinol and 2% Bakuchiol – Untrue! | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PURCHASED MYSELF AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER I dislike misleading claims on the label anyway, but in case of the Balea Beauty Expert Night Cream with 0,3% Retinol and 2% Bakuchiol it really annoys me. Why? Because the main approach of the Beauty Expert line is to focus on effective ingredients, which would be great – if they did it with this cream.     Ingredients like Retinol for example…

Exfoliation on retinoids – The best way to do it | Ask Doctor Anne

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Hey Doctor Anne, can I still exfoliate when on retinoids? How often can I use my AHAs with my Tretinoin? Do my chemical exfoliants go in the same routine as my retinol? I can’t count how many versions of this question I have had in the last years, and I get it. Retinoids on their own can be pretty intimidating, and no…

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: THE PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST WERE PURCHASED BY ME, I HAVE SINCE PURCHASING THEM RECEIVED PR FROM GEEK & GORGEOUS. LINK USED MIGHT BE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER I have a problem when it comes to reviewing products like the Geek & Gorgeous A-Game. I have been using Tretinoin for my adult acne for years now, so judging how anything weaker really affects your skin is nearly impossible… if I didn’t have a secret super power! Not a…

The Inkey List Retinol Eye Cream | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: THIS BLOG POST USES AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE IT. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER. I don´t think I have ever had so many requests to do a review than I had for The Inkey List Retinol Eye Cream. Should not have surprised me, after all both The Inkey List reviews and Retinol products are among the most searched after topics that lead people to my blog – why not combine both?     So far The Inkey List released three eye creams: Their Caffeine Eye Serum,…

There aren´t many skincare ingredients that cause as many questions in my comments as Retinol does. And with summer fast approaching, the one that pops up over and over again is: Do I have to stop using my retinol in summer? Time for another episode of #AskDoctorAnne, in which we will discuss the pros and cons of using retinoids in the warmer months. Background information Retinol is an amazing ingredient, and one that I already did a ton of  posts about (here for example). It is however also one that…

My updated evening skincare routine with Tretinoin – Spring 2020 | 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. My evening skincare routine used to be when I really took my time. A multi-layer routine, bi weekly face masks, different actives… Well, that has changed.     Not because I don´t enjoy that anymore, no, but because I am on Tretinoin, and several upset reactions from my skin later I have accepted that in this case, less really is more. And because Tretinoin made such a difference…

Morning skincare routine for glowing skin with Tretinoin

Advertisement info: This blog post contains PR-Samples (gifted items) and affiliate links. I received no money to write it. Please read disclaimer. I know it seems vain, but it is not the redness or the irritation with stinging skin that annoys me the most when starting prescription retinoids. No, it is the flakiness that tends to appear and that makes every bit of foundation look awful.     But while there is nothing you can do to completely get rid of it, through weeks of trial and error I finally…
