REN Rosa Centifolia Micellar Cleansing Water
Right, let me just get this out the way as I find it so pointlessly misleading and confusing; Rosa Centifolia is not a range designed to specifically target Rosacea, redness and other high-colour concerns. It’s a range designed to calm, soften and hydrate all skin types. Rosa Centifolia is actually the name of a Dutch…

Murad Blemish Control Body Wash & Clarifying Body Spray
With no exaggeration here whatsoever, guys of the world, we have been saved. Legne, armne, bacne, assne – bodily acne is a real concern for guys. We don’t often talk about it but it’s something you, my lovely readers, have emailed me about on a few occasions and I’ll hold up my hands and say…

Freeze 24-7 SkinSmoothie Retexturizing Glycolic Pads 10%
Pads – every brand has ’em and they’re almost always the same – a pot of cotton pads overly-drenched in a salicylic acid based solution. They’re nothing new. However, Freeze 24/7 have taken this clichéd skincare product and turned it into something quite special and rather cool. On first inspection, you open the box, undo…

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo
Firstly – Is La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo a moisturiser? Yes. This is probably the most frequently asked question when it comes to Effaclar Duo and so right here, right now, I can confirm that it most certainly is. OK, so, Effaclar Duo Moisturiser is probably the hottest product to come out of the La Roche-Posay labs. Everyone uses it:…

La Roche-Posay Hydreane BB Creme SPF 20
In the year of the CC Cream, I believe the BB Cream is still king. BB creams are a guys best friend as they balance the skin-tone, brighten the complexion, hydrate and often treat the skin whilst giving us a daily dose of sun-protection (Hydreane BB Creme has a fab SPF 20). Hydreane is the…

Clinique Superprimer Face Primers
With the recent launch of the super-duper CC Cream from Clinique, the brand hit the colour correction gong once more, going that little but further with their collection of targeted Superprimer Face Primers. What’s a primer you ask? Well if you’ve not used one before as I know many guys won’t, it’s a product that…

Biotherm Homme T-Pur SOS Corrective
I make no bones about the fact that I love Biotherm Homme T-Pur. The products are potent but absolutely excellent for those oilier and blemish prone skin types that are also a little sensitive. Now I’ll be open and honest and this product does contain alcohol but on my awesomely reactive skin it feels soft,…

La Roche-Posay Hydreane Light Cream for Sensitive Skin
Finding a good moisturiser that’s suitable for both oily and sensitive skin is a nightmare. Now I’ve various debates in the past but I stick to my guns when I say that sensitivity is a skin concern and not a skin type. The rationale for this being that you can have oily, dry, normal or…

Anthony Logistics Glycolic Facial Cleanser
This is actually Anthony Logistics’ top seller at Sephora for ten years running. It’s deliciously creamy, non-greasy, soothing, and very cleansing. Most readers and many followers on Twitter will know that I’m very pro-foaming face washe and very anti-cleansing oil/balm etc. I like the feeling of being clean, so I was naturally a little sceptical…

Dr. Jackson’s Natural Products

There’s no nasties, plenty of ethics,…
