Dry / Dehydrated Skin Reviews
Skin is often tight and uncomfortable. It can have a dull and flaky appearance. Wrinkles are more prominent. Skin feels dry after showering but feels more comfortable after moisturising; however can feel tight again by midday.

NeoSTEM Serum for Dry Skin
The ultimate anti-ageing serum created by the same lab that researches treatments and a cure for progeria, the premature ageing condition. This serum delivers the same results as the original NeoSTEM Anti-Accelerated Ageing Serum (read the review here). So, NeoStem is a direct result of the bio-medical research into Progeria, a genetic mutation that causes rapid…

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…

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 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…

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…
