I started using the Timeless Coenzyme Q10 Serum because I used to use (and love) Timeless’ 20% Vitamin C+ E serum. I no longer use their Vitamin C serum (now I spend $$$$ to use Skinceuticals CE Ferulic) but I am still using their CoQ10 serum.
Mia’s review:
Similar to their 20% Vitamin C+E serum, I have not experience any irritation or break outs but was concerned about
Continue readingI’ve used Hanskin Real Complexion Hyaluron Skin Essence for over a year now. I really really really like it a lot. I struggle with thinking my skin looks dehydrated but I don’t know if it is or not. So I try to use lots of different hyaluronic acid products.

I am so dedicated to the Hanskin Hyaluron Skin Essence that I used to use Continue reading
Because I’m a fan of their in-shower mask (click here for my review), I knew I would love the Make P:rem Relief Moisture Cleansing Foam. I’m still on my first bottle but have already purchased a second one so that I can be certain I won’t run out. [Update Jan 2019: The packaging has changed to a softer looking plastic tube since I wrote this review. I’m still using older bottles so haven’t had a chance to try it yet.]
Mia’s review: I have combination skin with cheeks/chin that can be quite dehydrated. So I’m always looking for a cleanser that is creamy looking rather than clear. I don’t know why but I assume Continue reading
I’ve been using the Davines Love Smoothing Conditioner for about five years. In general, I’m a fan of Davines products as you can see from this review, and this review, and this review. But this is the conditioner that I always go back to after trying something else.
Mia’s review: I love the smell and the color of the Davines Love Conditioner! The smell is kinda flower-y and perfume-y but not overpowering at all. I would be okay with it having an even stronger smell.
I also like that it Continue reading
A couple of months ago, I wrote a review about the original version with phenol. Because the EU and Canada have banned phenol in skincare products, I thought I should try the updated version. Because I’ve read that the phenol-less version doesn’t work as well, I bought the full-strength P50 instead of my usual P50v.
Davines Oi Conditioner is another of my favorites from Davines. After using this for nearly a year, I stopped because it has several different types of silicones. If you don’t have issues with silicones then I think you should definitely try this conditioner!
Davines Oi Shampoo is one of my favorites. I switched to the Naturaltech line because the oi conditioner (review forthcoming) has silicones in it. But I might switch back to using this shampoo because it is so nice.
I use Hada Labo Tokyo Replenishing Hydrator every day specifically because it includes hyaluronic acid as an ingredient. We all have hyaluronic acid in our skin and it keeps it plump and hydrated. Applied topically, it is a great moisturizer and can boost the moisture content of skin. It is definitely on the list of products I cannot live without!
Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip Cleanser is a luxurious cleanser for combination skin. If you google it, a lot of bloggers like this cleanser and I am one of them. You can also read more reviews here.
After hearing about Lotion P50 nearly a year ago, I’ve googled the product extensively. There are a lot of reviews but I found few about Biologique Recherche’s P50v 1970 formula. The “v” version is supposed to be a little milder for those with sensitive skin types and also those new to using P50. The idea is that after an adjustment period, one can graduate to using the full strength version of P50. The “1970” means it is the original version that includes phenol, a controversial ingredient, that is banned in some countries.
Also, for those of you who are new to P50, it isn’t really a lotion. It is a toner that exfoliates. You use it after cleansing and before moisturizing.
