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 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
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 try to test every product I come across and tweet the pH level so that I don’t re-test it later or spend time googling for the pH level. Below is a list of the products that I’ve tested with a pH of 6.5 or higher. A haphazard list for now just to get the information out there.
And if you found this post via a google search and are interested in finding low pH level products, please visit this page with a list of products by category.
The Face Shop Real Nature Aloe Mask is supposed to sooth skin and offer softness and hydration. Face Shop mask’s have been a favorite of mine since I tried them for the first time in 2009. Since then, I’ve tried some other brands (that I love!) but I still buy Face Shop masks, too.
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.
