Sensitive Skin Reviews
Dealing with sensitive skin can be a real challenge. It’s a delicate balance, finding products that are effective yet gentle enough not to cause irritation. For those of us with sensitive skin, it’s all about reading labels and choosing skincare that’s free from harsh chemicals, fragrances, and dyes. Natural or hypoallergenic products are often a safe bet. Remember, a patch test is your best friend – it’s always wise to test a new product on a small area before fully incorporating it into your routine.
And never underestimate the power of a good, simple moisturizer to keep your skin calm and happy. It’s a journey, but with patience and careful selection, managing sensitive skin becomes much more manageable.

NEW Clinique Superdefense Night vs. Clinique Super Rescue Antioxidant Night
So, a new launch from Clinique coming next week (1st January 2016 but already available here online) in the form of the 20’s/30’s targeting Superdefense Night Recovery Moisturiser. Also apologies for the americanisms, but for the purposes of this article and to use the proper product name, I’ll be using ‘defense’. The Clinique Superdefense range…

Clinique Smart Custom-Repair Serum: The Best Serum for Men or Just a Load of Boswellox?
The Clinique Smart Serum (Clinique Smart Custom-Repair Serum) has interesting origins. Estée Lauder Companies has been sat on this for around 5 years. Why? Because it was created by accident whilst researching and developing Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector; but at the time Lauder was only looking for a pigmentation serum – the skin…

Clinique Superdefense SPF 20 Daily Defense Moisturizer
I can best describe the new Clinique Superdefense SPF 20 Daily Defense Moisturizer as a meal for the skin. Entirely reformulated with new ingredients and a gorgeous new melting, cream texture for all skin types concerned with the first signs of ageing. It comes in Very Dry to Dry Combination (Skin Type 1 & 2) and…

La Roche-Posay Rosaliac CC Cream
OK, so I know how much of a fad the CC thing comes across. I was the world’s biggest BB cream fan and I’m not afraid to come across as a total a-hole by saying that I was talking about them before they’d barely even hit our shores (here lies the proof); but, when BBs…

REN Vita Mineral Emollient Rescue Cream
I seem to be reviewing a few emollient creams lately such as La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 Soothing Repairing Balm and La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra. REN Vita Mineral Emollient Rescue Cream is certainly something a bit different and stands out for a good few reasons. Renowned for using weird and wonderful Bio Extracts, REN Vita Mineral Emollient Rescue…

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra
If you have a tendency to react to products or have very sensitive skin, as I do, then La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra is something that might just be the ticket for you, carrying The British Allergy Foundation Seal of Approval. 100%-free from lanolin, colorants, alcohol, artificial fragrance, parabens and preservatives with space-age anti-contamination and ultra-hermetic packaging,…

Kiehl’s Skin Rescuer Stress-Minimizing Daily Hydrator
Kiehl’s have odd ranges; I’ll say it here and now. Instead of having ranges that are exactly the same as every other brand out there, they create products that fill an unexploited gap in the market and they do it really well. Kiehl’s Skin Rescuer Stress-Minimizing Daily Hydrator is one of those products that breaks…

La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 Soothing Repairing Balm
If I read one more tweet about how marvellous Sudocrem is for spots and soothing the face, I’m going to rip my own arm off and use it to beat every single person responsible for spreading that absolute farcical garbage. La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 Soothing Repairing Balm actually is the product that works and treats…

Aesop Parsley Seed Anti-Oxidant Eye Cream
Teeny bit of a confession to make here, this is shockingly the first Aēsop you’ll have ever seen on Manface and it’s been been a long time coming. Worry not however, over the next few weeks there’ll be quite a few of my new fabulous favourites rearing their little heads as I tell you what you…
