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 received a couple of inquiries asking about what products I’m currently using. So here they are (along with some reasons why I use them):
The COSRX Low-pH Good Morning Cleanser is my favorite cleanser right now! It’s a very popular cleanser with lots of good reviews. If you google it, you’ll see lots reviews from other bloggers as well. I’ve read varying pH values with some people finding a value of 5.0 and others finding a value of 5.5, and and others a value of ~5.0-6.0. So know that what I found is based upon using these pH strips.
Mia’s review: I really like the COSRX low-pH cleanser and I’m on my second bottle. I don’t find it to be harsh, irritating or Continue reading
I am a big fan of the original French version in Lait. Like if a friend is visiting France, they are bringing back a couple of bottles for me. So I was delighted to learn that Le Petit Marseillais is now available in the USA. The bottles are larger and they don’t offer Lait. So instead, I purchased Cotton Milk & Poppy in hopes that it would be a similar scent.
Whamisa’s deep rich toner is somewhere between a toner and an essence, I think. It seems to have a lot of positive reviews and people just love it. The instructions say to pat it on with your hands instead of using a cotton ball. This sorta implies you could use a cotton ball and use it like a toner if you wanted to. The texture, however, is a thick liquid so it is easy to apply using just your hands. A big selling point for me on this product is that it has fermented ingredients.
Hada Labo’s hydrating facial cleanser is my new favorite cleanser. I’ve been using this for about 9 months and am on my 4th bottle. It has replaced the Free & Clear liquid cleanser as my daily facial cleanser but I keep that as a back up and use it as a body wash every day.
I’ve been using Davines Naturaltech Nourishing Vegetarian Miracle Conditioner as my every day conditioner for a little over 2 months. It is what I’ll be using unless I happen to find something better.
I purchased Davines Naturaltech Well-being Conditioner because I bought the shampoo and I thought I’d try them together. Although I did not dislike the way my hair felt when I used this conditioner, I don’t like the price point of this conditioner.
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!
Although SebaMed Liquid Face and Body Wash is designed for sensitive skin and can be used on the face, I use this exclusively as a body wash. It is soap-free, paraben-free, non-comedogenic and lots of folks use it on their face and like it.
