This is my third product and it is one of the retinal products out there I keep returning to. I found this to be kind on the skin, albeit having retinal and my skin didn't peel or become sensitive after nightly use. It has a very light consistency and absorbs easily and quickly. This product, paired…
This is a very light weight serum though it didn't do much for my skin. I found it useful for replacing toner and serum when travelling, but I think there are other, better products that have similar effects. It did leave a slight film on my skin, which was not great, but doesn't have a scent (at le…
beplain generally have good products which I am testing at the moment and this cleanser balm is not an exception. It has a very soft consistency, which allows it to melt into the skin without irritating or stripping it. I have mature combination skin but I feel this would be good on sensitive skin a…
This is a very good eye-cream from VT Cosmetics, though I am not sure if it is worth the PDRN and vibrating head hype. It has the usual VT elements - CICA Reedle, PDRN, etc, it is supposed to help with elasticity and firming of the around the eye area and also improve skin texture. I have tested two…
Although I used to not be a fan of toner pads, this Mediheal product has started to shift my preference. I have been using this as part of my PM routine, which has proven very beneficial, considering the strong actives I tend to use in the evening. It worked well with my skin (mature, combination/oi…
This is a very good ampoule containing Niacinamide and beads of Madecassoside. This should help with dark spots and brightens the overall skin tone. I found it lightweight and absorbing quickly, without leaving a film on the skin, which other products from this line have done. I have also noticed a …
This is a very good retinol serum. It pairs 0.2% retinol with 0.05% retinal, which is worth understanding: retinol has to convert twice in the skin before it becomes retinoic acid, the form that actually does the work, while retinal converts once. Including both is a way of getting some faster actio…
This is a very good oily/combo skin cream. I have used it as part of the morning last step in my routine. The cream has a very light consistency, absorbs quickly and didn't leave a film on my skin. My skin didn't get oily through the day either and worked very well with the sunscreen on top of it. I…
This is a very gentle serum. It has 5% Niacinamide, which should be one of the optimum suggested strengths for this type of serum, but I found it slightly underwhelming. It is a good serum for people that haven't used actives before, or people with sensitive skin (mine is not). It doesn't contain an…
This is an ok cleansing balm. It contains Cicaluronic, which is a combination of Hyaluronic acid and CICA. The balm has a serbet texture that gently melts when massaged into the skin, while calming and moisturising the skin with Centella Asiatica Extract and Hyaluronic Acid. As with other Mizon prod…
This is one of the best PDRN products I have tested. It contains PDRN 1,200 ppm (99% purity), Hydrolyzed Collagen, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronate, Niacinamide, amongst others (full list of ingredients above). Most of the social media reviews say this concentration is the best result wise, and wilst I do not…
This is a very basic and underwhelming hyaluronic acid serum. Doesn't seem to have done much for my skin at all. I have used only one vial of it, which was roughly 5 weeks and did not notice any visible results whatsoever. I purchased this from Skin2 Seoul shop and the price (around £20) compared t…
These are one of the best PDRN toner pads I have used. They make a noticable difference on my skin (mature, combination). Contain PDRx 3% with c-PDRN, which is supposed to be a proprietory PDRN from Rejural. Used them in the evening after double cleansing. My skin felt plump and moisturised - obviou…
This cleansing balm worked well on my combination/oily skin. I used it as a step 1 of my evening routine. It cleansed the skin without stripping it, so I didn't experience any tightness or dryness. It has a sorbet-like texture and washes well, without leaving a film. It was very gentle on my esyes a…
