Serums & Treatments Reviews
What is a serum? Basically, a serum delivers a targeted treatment designed to help eliminate a specific skin concern to the lower levels of the skin. When should I use a serum? It’s normally recommended that any serum is applied underneath your moisturiser after cleansing and toning.

In the vast world of skincare, stumbling upon a product that genuinely works is always a win. That’s exactly what happened with the SVR Ampoule Hydra B3 Serum for me. I found it through Renude.co and have been using it for over two years now. It’s turned out to be a solid, reliable part of…

Sesderma Azelac Moisturising Gel: Acne & Redness Treatment
Thanks to a fortuitous skincare consultation at Renude.co, about 2 years ago I was introduced to Sesderma’s Azelac Moisturising Gel – a gem of a skincare product. I’ve always had a bit of a red flush to my skin so I look for things to calm and repair, give moisture, but not layer it full…

Dr.Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment
This was a nice little find. I do enjoy a colour correcting treatment being prone to a little cheek redness. I also am always intrigued by products with “Cica” in its name but I’ll get onto that shortly. I picked up the Cicapair colour correcting treatment from John Lewis in Leeds on a bit of…

Avène Cleanance Expert Skincare
A few years ago I attended an event with the french Pharmacy brand Avene for the launch of their Avene Cleanance Expert, a new hydrating acne treatment (similar in packaging and brand messaging to La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo Plus).

Perricone MD H2 Elemental Energy Serum and Eye Gel
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…

This is the new serum from Ren that gives all the treatment benefits of a lightweight serum, but the silicone-free benefits of a primer. I think this is a great one for guys as even if you get your skincare regime spot-on, by the middle of the day, we can all still get a bit…
