Review: Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution

You know i’m all over the Kiehl’s Dermatological Solutions line – their latest release, the Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution, is another hit for the range. I’ve been using it for about 2 months now, brilliant for annoying marks/pigmentation: The unique clear formula is enriched with Activated Vitamin-C, Peony Extract and White Birch Extract. The [...]

Review: Dermalogica ChromaWhite TRx®

Up for review today is the Dermalogica ChromaWhite TRx® – 6 products that aim to help protect and brighten the skin, all in one handy set to take all the work out of selecting them! I’ll only be reviewing 4 products from the range – skipping the cleansers since my set was an older edition. [...]

Review: Murad T-Zone Pore Refining Gel

I’m a huge fan of the Murad T-Zone Pore Refining Gel, a very simple solution to a lot of problems!   Skip the shine and pore congestion. This patented gel normalises oil production while gently dissolving dull, dry skin cells and pore-clogging impurities to help maintain healthy, glowing skin. Along with skin repairing/soothing ingredients like [...]

Review: Dr Nick Lowe Dark Circles Correcting Cream

I usually don’t use eye creams (a bit of facial moisturiser undeneath the eyes does the trick) but sometimes they’re handy if the skin underneath your eyes needs a little something extra. Enter the Dr Nick Lowe Dark Circles Correcting Cream, one of the best eye creams I found last year. Dark Circles Correcting Cream [...]

Review: Olay Regenerist Night Resurfacing Elixir

You need to try this. The Olay Regenerist Night Resurfacing Elixir (launched recently in the US and some time in 2011 for the UK) is an incredibly well formulated glycolic acid moisturiser, one of the best and most gentle ones I’ve ever come across and it’s easy to get hold of. Great! First, a little [...]

Review: Burt’s Bees Radiance Serum

I picked up the Burt’s Bees Radiance Serum at Boots a while ago – a nice, affordable serum? Great! Here’s how I got on… Get a more radiant complexion in just 4 weeks! This clinically tested serum combines royal jelly, licorice root extract and glycerin to bring out skin’s natural radiance. These ingredients increase moisturisation [...]

Review: Japanese Nightingale Droppings

Long-time reader Jessica asked me to review this one and – having read about it – I totally caved. A little history first. Japanese Nightingale Droppings are just that; freeze-dried Nightingale poo that’s been treated with UV light to get rid of any bacteria. Popular in Japan, it was used by Geisha to keep skin [...]

Review – Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus

Now that summer’s over, you’re going to see skincare brands push products like the Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus quite a lot over the next few months. Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus is a serum that promises to undo the damage done to skin through constant UV exposure. Now, if you used sunscreen every day you wouldn’t [...]

Review – Olay Regenerist 3 Point Super Serum

I’ve yet to hear from one dermatologist who doesn’t rave about the Olay Regenerist line for anti ageing. It’s one of very few mass market ranges to deliver products containing beneficial ingredients in the right concentrations for them to work. I often recommend their original Regenerist Serum and Night Cream here on SCforM! Now, Olay [...]

Even skintone – a beginner’s guide.

So I’ve had a fair few questions on this subject, more than enough to warrant a new post! An even skintone is important because, as I mentioned previously, it can make you look years younger even if you still retain the same amount of wrinkles. A lot of this has to do with light reflection. [...]
