Normal-Combination Skin Reviews
Skin feels ‘OK’ with or without a moisturiser. Can go through periods of being a little dehydrated or oily either all over or in sections. Can sometimes just need a ‘boost’ in certain areas.

Aesop Mandarin Facial Hydrating Cream
Aēsop Mandarin Facial Hydrating Cream is a really interesting one and kind of breaks the rules when it comes to moisturising normal/combination skin. I’ll be honest, the first time I felt this product in the Aēsop store in Marylebone, after telling the consultant my exact requirements and skincare needs, I was heartily annoyed. On looking…

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…

Tom Ford For Men Grooming Collection
Fine grooming is the mark of a modern gentleman. It is the way a man presents the best version of himself to the world. The wise-words of Tom Ford and what an honour. I’m lucky enough to be one of, although I’m pretty certain the I’m actually the first blogger to get my hands on…

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…

L’Occitane Immortelle Divine Lotion
L’Occitane are at quite an exciting stage as a brand and over the last few years it has been incredible to watch them create hit, after hit, after hit. Since April, I’ve been using the freshly reformulated Immortelle Divine collection with the fabulous addition of the new Immortelle Divine Lotion – a post toner/pre-serum solution,…

Biotherm Homme T-Pur Anti-Oil and Wet
This was the other Biotherm Homme T-Pur product I’ve been using recently, I have it on now as a matter of fact. This bizarrely packaged moisturiser is a powerfully hydrating moisturiser that reduces oil, shine and sweat. Similarly to the Biotherm Homme T-Pur SOS Corrective, one of the functions of Biotherm Homme T-Pur Anti-Oil and…

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,…

Argentum La Potion Infinie
It’s rare that I’m completely taken aback by a product, very rare. Don’t get me wrong, there are many products I love but once in a while there’s a product that pricks my undivided attention. Argentum La Potion Infinie moisturiser is one of those products. The branding is based upon the Jungian concept of the…
