Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5
Now, despite having the facial hair of a menopausal woman, I do occasional need to shave, and having very fair and easily irritated skin, its something I find tricky. Now, this is not a new product I’ll be by any means but this has been my razor of choice for some time after picking on…

REN ClearCalm3 Range
It’s been a while since I’ve been this genuinely excited and actually quite giddy to use a new product range. The range consists of 4 products, a clay facial wash, clay mask, day moisturiser and night moisturiser. Unlike many so called ‘acne-care’ series, this range has no beaded exfoliating scrub of any kind which made…

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.

Well, well, well. This is something different and a welcome addition to the Men’s skin care market. Tired, dehydrated skin and uneven skin tone, the Lab Series MAX LS Overnight Renewal Serum is something that can really start to kick in as the ageing process starts to take hold, and even though no extreme results…

Clinique Redness Solutions and Redness Facts
Redness is one of those concerns that can’t be treated with a simple moisturiser and general skin care routine. Depending upon the severity, whether it’s simply high-colour, right through to rosacea, different steps and measures need to be followed to ensure a chance of improvement. Redness is caused by blood vessels that are closer to…

Over two years since it’s launch, Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle and UV Damage Corrector has swept the beauty industry like a storm. Promising a 54% reduction in lines and wrinkles over a 12 week usage, through twice daily application, this is powerful stuff. You’ll get around 4 weeks from a 30ml bottle, but you…

The serum contains caffeine to reduce bags and calm the skin and soy protein to visibly tone and tighten the skin. There’s…
