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 was really lucky that I got both the original facetheory Supergel Moisturizer Oil-frrr as well as the Supergel Moisturizer PRO that promises more actives, but also is quite a bit more expensive than the original.

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.…

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.

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Pore reduction seems to be a popular topic, and believe me, as someone with oily skin I get that, so facetheory has a dedicated product for that.

facetheory Vitamin C Cream Cleanser – unexpected love | 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 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.…

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…
