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

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…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   The packaging of the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Poremizing Light Gel Cream reminds me of a board game my daughter used to love. It was called “Unicorn Glitterluck”, in which 4 unicorns had to escape a rain cloud by sliding over rainbows and getting distracted by eating muffins. Why? Because I wonder if people that never outgrow their glittery unicorn phase are…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I keep repeating “If you have acne, more than just the occasional breakout, go see a doctor and don’t try to treat it with skincare from the drugstore! It is a skin disease that very often needs medication and, if left untreated, can leave scars and harm your mental health.” (More info: Why you have acne and how to treat it.)…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   As someone that struggled with acne for most of my adult life, I know how difficult finding the right moisturizer can be. The e.l.f. Blemish Breakthrough Blemish Calming Water Cream sounds like it could be the one: Hydrating, but not suffocating and heavy, calming to counteract the irritating potential of acne treatments and preventative in itself.     But does it…

elf Pure Skin Moisturizer – I am a snob | 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   I am really fuzzy when it comes to moisturizers, so the elf Pure Skin Moisturizer didn’t have it easy convincing me. Not that I have found many bad moisturizers during my years of testing skincare, on the contrary. I have found many that do exactly what they are supposed to do, and most of them do that quite well.    …

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Come winter, my skin can get easily irritable – the mixture between dry air, cold air, indoor heating and Tretinoin will do that – so it is the perfect time to test out products like the elf Pure Skin Cleanser, aimed at sensitive skin.     After all cleansing is non negotiable, but also a step that can make things worse…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Strengthening the skin barrier is a claim we hear quite often these days, and the SKIN1004 Probio-Cica Enrich Cream is no exception.

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I have seen skincare claim to sooth or calm irritated skin, but never of a product to sedate the skin. The SKIN1004 Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule though does exactly this. Now you may know I have worked as anaesthesiologist for many years, so sedation was basicaly my bread and butter, but of course using entirely different products.     Now the choice…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I have stated before that I am easily one over if a product is called treatment. In case of the Murad Quick Relief Colloidal Oatmeal Treatment the naming isn’t too far from the truth though, and explains why on the packaging it says “for eyes, face and body”.     I admit that when I first read that, I was a…
