facetheory Ocuwake Eye Cream PRO – Reformulated | 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 is kind of hard to review a product like the facetheory Ocuwake Eye Cream PRO that you only get to know after it was reformulated. “Increased peptide power!” is what they say, and they increased the price quite a bit for that. Now I can imagine you would like to know if that was worth it, but I can’t tell.…

Aquaporins and their function in skincare | Ask Doctor Anne

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Maybe you have stumbled across Aquaporins in skincare through the various flashy headlines, claiming they offer “Hydration boost on a cellular level”, are the “new it ingredient to supercharge skincare formulas” and offer “deeper hydration than just a moisturizer”.     I certainly did, and as they are marketed specifically at dry and aging skin, I figured it was about time we took a closer look at Aquaporins and their role…

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   Exfoliating toners like the facetheory Glycolacsal Solution seem to be really popular. Somehow they are perceived as less intimidating than exfoliating serums, although we all know that concentration and formulation plays a much bigger role than the name a certain product got – I have seen toners that pack way more punch than a serum!   Is that the case here…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   When I opened my first bottle of the tia’m My Signature C Source Serum, two things made me pause. Firstly: It really smells like lemonade. And second: It also sounds like a soft drink when you twist open the cap, as it fizzes quite a bit. Nothing I have come across in other serums so far, so I admit I was…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Pore reduction seems to be a popular topic, and believe me, as someone with oily skin I get that, so facetheory has a dedicated product for that. It is called facetheory Cera-C Pore Reducing Toner and has, as you might have guessed Ceramides, hence the Cera, and a Vitamin C derivative, hence the -C.     Usually toners aimed at pore…
