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.

Argentum Apothecary Silver Infused Skincare
I’ve used and reviewed the Argentum skin cream before back in 2013 when the brand first launched with only the skin cream. The brand relies on two essential skincare componants: the first being Silver Hydrosol and then DNA HP Marine Extract. Argentum products feature almost 100% natural ingredients and are perfect for problem skin. I’ve…

Dr Sebagh Hyaluronic Acid Repair Serum
A new brand on MANFACE with Dr Sebagh and not pronounced Sea-Bag in my flat-vowelled, Northern twang. I’m trying out the Dr Sebagh Hyaluronic Acid Repair Serum. This is definitely a more professionally formulated hyaluronic acid-based serum when compared to the likes of Indeed Labs Hydraluron Moisture Booster etc. This serum is something I currently need as I’ve been…

Malin+Goetz Recovery Treatment Oil
After looking at the Clarins Boosters yesterday, I wanted to cover this as a much better alternative to the Clarins Repair Booster. This contains, among others, 9 natural oils to help repair, protect and strengthen the moisture barrier. I love Malin+Goetz skincare anyway; I use the Vitamin E moisturiser most days, so for me this…

Clarins Boosters Repair & Detox Finally Reviewed
The Clarins Boosters have remained un-reviewed and sat in my review pile forever and for no good reason. I’ve had some sort of mental block on them. I do also have the third Clarins Booster Energy, but I don’t feel it’s anything new; look at both Clinique Fresh Pressed (actually really similar packaging now I think…

Seeing Double: Clinique Fresh Pressed Daily Booster vs. The Body Shop Vitamin C 10 Day Glow Boosting Concentrate
As I mentioned in my previous article, the Clinique Fresh Pressed Daily Booster is not a new innovation on the market. The Body Shop first release their version almost 10 years ago in the form of the Vitamin C 10 Day Glow Boosting Concentrate (formerly Vitamin C Facial Radiance Powder). The two product concepts are entirely…

Avene TriAcnéal EXPERT Night Treatment
Over the last year, I’ve really fallen for Avene and their range of exceptional acne, blemish and spot treatments. I love their Avene Cleanance Expert and they recently sponosred me to trial their new Tolerance EXTREME for 3 weeks, a skincare line designed for sensitive skin. So when browsing Boots last week, I was more than…

Aesop Lucent Facial Concentrate
This is definitely something a bit different from Aesop. I often associate them only with skincare that’s nourishing and filled mostly with luxurious but basic natural ingredients – some great, some I don’t like quite as much. The Lucent Facial Concentrate definitely falls into the former and is loaded with active ingredients. The serum, and that’s…

It’s La Mer and don’t you forget it + NEW Moisturizing Soft Lotion
Finally. It’s been a long one coming but Creme de La Mer is finally gone. They’ve been trying to change the name for years and already has been except in France, the UK and Japan due to highly complicated licensing and trademark reasons. But finally ELC have won and it shall be known as La…

Get Smart. Clinique Smart Anti-Everything Skincare
Sometimes it’s impossible to know where to start with your skincare. Black heads, blocked pores, blemishes, fine lines, dullness, oiliness? It can often feel line a total minefield out there with every blog, beauty counter and magazine proposing some miracle to cure this and that. I was a little sceptical of Clinique Smart when it…
