La Mer The Eye Concentrate Review: Is It Worth It?
Is La Mer The Eye Concentrate worth it? Honestly: yes, but with conditions. It is a calming, smooth eye cream with a cooling metal applicator, a little goes a very long way, and I keep coming back to it. What you are not buying, at around £215 for 15ml, is a uniquely powerful set of…

Clinique Smart Clinical Repair Eye Cream: Does It Work?
Yes, within limits. Clinique Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream is a genuinely good peptide-and-hyaluronic-acid eye cream that hydrates, calms and softens the look of fine lines around the eye. What it will not do is erase deep or structural wrinkles, and, despite what a lot of write-ups say, it does not contain the…

When you’re working with so many products, it’s not often you get repeats. I had until now only two exceptions: Zelens Detox Cleanser (I swear by this) and Clinique All About Eyes Rich. However, before writing this review for Perricone MD Elemental Energy; I am already on my second and third bottle of each. I…

Origins A Perfect World Collection Reviewed
It’s been a funny old one with Origins of late. Over the last year or so they’ve seemed to be focusing on gimmicks rather than solid skincare. This included sprays for masking and some kit I had that made a mask which looked like Japanese green tea. The Origins A Perfect World Collection goes back to…

La Roche-Posay REDERMIC [R] EYES Anti-Wrinkle Firming Eye Treatment
If you read my post earlier today of the Avene TriAcnéal EXPERT Night Treatment, this was the second product I bought in the Boots 3 for 2. To use it’s full name, the La Roche-Posay REDERMIC [R] EYES Anti-Wrinkle Firming Eye Treatment (phew) is a retinol-based eye treatment that targets lines and wrinkles around the eye-area.…

What’s in my box from South Korea?
I came very early to the Korean Skincare craze with my pre-emption of BB creams back in 2012 but since then, drifted from it. Almost every day I see new Korean brands recommended, particularly through Instagram, which look amazing and are raved about – but with such a saturated market and it often taking anywhere up to…

Not a review as such, more than a public service announcement! Aesop’s Parsley Seed Anti-Oxidant skin care is a great all rounder regime for normal/dry skin that’s designed to hydrate, re-balance and protect against environmental and oxidation damage. I’ve reviewed a lot of the products in the range over the last year or so but as…

When I first tried Twelve Beauty (2 years ago now) I wasn’t blown away by how it made my skin feel. Although the formulations are exquisite, at the time it was far too rich and more than my skin needed. Two birthdays and a boat-load of stress later, my skin needs more these days! I’m…

Banish Tired Eyes
I don’t know about you, but I have hit the ground running since Christmas. I don’t know where the time has gone, let alone the shock that we’re already 10% into 2016. I’ve been eating a better diet, exercising and working like a mad dog. So something has to give, right? Yep. Sleep. Sleep has…

NEW Clinique Pep-Start Eye Cream
Well this is a bit exciting! Particularly as I’ve been needing a pick me up for my eyes lately (I have some more great eye-treatment finds coming later this week!). The new Clinique Pep-Start eye cream is all about instant high-impact brightening as well as long term treatment benefits – all in a funky new tube.…

Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Deep Moisture Clarifying Cream and Dark Circle Perfector
A product range designed for the Asian market if ever I’ve seen one with the heavy use of emotive language signifying that having brighter and sadly, whiter skin, is better. But, this is an age old trend and confuses us in the West as much as many in Asia are befuddled with our need to be…

Treating dark cirles and bags with new Creme de La Mer The Illuminating Eye Gel
Well, it’s the second month in the start of a new year and I’m already at my wits end. I’ve taken on some new web design clients (who couldn’t be better and more facilitating) which are big projects; have been up and down to London like a yo-yo and then on an almost week-long press…

How to Get Rid of Dark Circles: La Roche-Posay Pigmentclar Eyes Review
I’ve been sat on this La Roche-Posay skin care gem since around March (sorry) as I picked it up in Spain but only now is it launching and available here in the UK. La Roche-Posay have arrived extraordinarily late to the pigmentation and dark spot correction party, but their contribution is no less valid and in fact, better than many…

I reviewed the GinZing Energy-Boosting Moisturiser back in May last year (£23 here from Boots) and since then, Origins have been busy, busy bees, adding three more products to their best-selling collection including: the NEW Refreshing Face Mask; Refreshing Face Scrub Cleanser and the Refreshing Eye Cream. The whole range relies on the power of…

A lightweight but deeply nourishing gel that helps to reduce dark circles and smooth under-eye skin. The alternate use of this product as a mask is clever, because to…

To get the most from your skin, always look for separate eye products…

Aesop Parsley Seed Anti-Oxidant Eye Cream Review
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…

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…

If you’re a regular reader, you’ll already know what a huge fan I am of the original GLAMGLOW products, both the YOUTHMUD but particularly the spot fighting, bacteria killing, skin softening, SUPERMUD.

Clinique Even Better Concealer
I don’t often review makeup products but I thought this to be an outsanding exception. If you read my last review about Clinique’s new eye cream – Clinique Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector, then you know that I sometimes, as do many, have a concern with dark circles around my eyes. Clinique Even Better…

Clinique Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector
As men don’t really wear makeup, or much else, dark circles are something women apparently notice more and is an age giveaway as well as something that can massively increase or de-crease how healthy you look – so if you fancy improving your chances, read on. I’m a pre-existing fan of the Even Better range…

Nuxe Men Multi-Purpose Eye Cream
This is another one of my Pharmacy pick ups, after I spotted the Nuxe sign in the window and was tempted inside for a look. I didn’t actually realise the Nuxe had a dedicated Men’s line, and other than trying their dry oil, had never really explored the brand much further than that. I was…

You may or may not have heard of Zirh before. They’re a brand that are relatively new to the scene here in the UK, but they’ve exploded with a bit of a bang and I have been informed that they’ve been around for 20 years or so in the US. I was sent the range…

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant
So what is so good about this cream? I see it absolutely everywhere I go, no matter which shop, department store, airport, airplane or country I’m in – there it is, beaming away with its gorgeous white packaging and red door logo. Designed to calm, protect and hydrate for, you guessed it, 8 hours; this…

Biotherm Homme High Recharge Eye Shot
Biotherm Homme High Recharge Eye Shot is a powerful new member of the Biotherm Recharge family. More than a standard eye gel, and far, far more than a standard ‘rollerball’, this product is made of a lightweight absorbent gel dispensed through a whopping 3 rollerballs. It’s ridiculously cooling, fast-acting and absorbing, and over the past…

Biotherm Homme Force Supreme
Biotherm Homme Force Supreme Rebuilder. The first product I was lucky enough to try from Biotherm Homme’s anti-ageing range is the Re-Builder, a facial roller-ball massager that releases an powerful oil free serum. The serum contains caffeine to reduce bags and calm the skin and soy protein to visibly tone and tighten the skin. There’s…

Clinique Anti-Fatigue Cooling Eye Gel
Well when I found out about this originally, I thought finally! A new addition to the Skin Supplies for Men range. I’ve been a massive user of the All About Eyes Serum De-Puffing Eye Massage since it’s original launch some years back. Now as a massive computer nerd and student, I stay up rather late,…
