Medik8 Crystal Retinal Review: Worth the Investment? | Doctor Anne

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER I remember a time when there was only one brand that offered a Retinaldehyde product, and that brand was Medik8. They weren’t cheap, but if there is no competition, that usually isn’t an issue. With more affordable Retinal products on the market now though, is their Medik8 Crystal Retinal still worth paying for? Medik8 has six different strengths available,…

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER Acne prone skin is often oily, and the debate if oily skin needs hydration has been going on for as long as I have been on the internet – which is basically since it was made.

Doctor Anne’s Skincare Stash Update: What’s new in January? The Ordinary, e.l.f. and Minoxidil

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER I started the year slow in terms of new additions to my skincare stash – for several reasons, but mainly because with the reduced frequency I upload, it will take me even longer to actually publish the review of the products I tested (I currently have more than 30 that I finished testing, but haven’t gotten around to posting yet). With…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER I had been looking for a dedicated LED bib to treat the sun damage on my décolleté for a while, so I was thrilled when SKINVITY sent over their SKINVITY Silicone LED Face Mask. Surprisingly, the mask also comes with a bib attached—a nice bonus, as it’s not mentioned in the name. Until then, I had always used my…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER For the longest time taking care of the skin on my body was more of an afterthought than something I invested time and money in. I use my shampoo as body wash, a drugstore moisturizer afterwards and to be honest never felt like I was missing out. That changed when NERRA send me two of their four products designed to create…

My updated Winter skincare routine for 2025 | Doctor Anne

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER It is in winter that I notice the changes my skin has gone through with age the most. Up until three years ago it was mostly oily and acne prone, meaning that in winter it actually felt quite good – the sebum protected me against the cold and with a little extra hydration in my skincare routine I’d easily get through…

PURITO B5 Panthenol Re-barrier Cream – Twice as much | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER It took me a while to understand why the name PURITO B5 Panthenol Re-Barrier Cream rubbed me the wrong way. It isn’t obvious at first glance, but once you know, you can‘t unsee it. Or at least I can‘t. B5 is Panthenol, just in another form of writing, meaning the name of the product is Purito Panthenol Panthenol Re-Barrier…
