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.

Mineral Fusion Anti-dandruff Shampoo Review
When my pH strips arrived in the mail, I spent the rest of the day testing EVERY product in the house. I was surprised to find that Mineral Fusion Anti-dandruff shampoo had an acidic pH. This is the shampoo my husband uses everyday…for something like the past 3 years. I buy it because it isn’t tested on animals.
Davines OI Conditioner Review
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 Review
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.
Davines Well-Being Shampoo Review
I am writing a few posts on shampoo because it affects the scalp, which is skin. And also because while researching the pH of facial products, I learned that pH is also important for shampoo/conditioner. A high pH shampoo may lead to cuticle damage and frizzy hair. When I was researching pH strips, I found a lot of comments made by women who were using them to test their hair products because they wanted to reduce frizz.
I’m a big fan of Davines products in general. I really like the Well-Being Shampoo from their naturaltech line and love the artwork on the bottle. I recently switched to silicone-free hair products and was happy to find that they offer a lot of shampoos and conditioners that are silicone-free.
Vanicream Cleansing Bar Review
In our pursuit of the best bar soap that you can use on the face and body, we’ve ended up with Vanicream Cleansing Bar. It is marketed as being for sensitive skin and being free of dyes, lanolin, fragrance, parabens and is non-comedogenic. This seems to be highly recommended by dermatologists and has received pretty good reviews from most of the folks over at MUA for use as a facial cleanser.
Su:m 37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick Review
I really like Su:m37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick. I know I’m very late to the party in trying this/writing a review. Everyone loves this cleanser! I like it too but had some issues.
Hada Labo Tokyo Replenishing Hydrator Review
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!
Sebamed Clear Face Cleansing Bar Review
We tried Sebamed Clear Face Cleansing Bar as part of our experiment looking for a bar soap to use on the face and in the shower. We again tried Sebamed because we knew the pH would be right.
Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip Cleanser Review
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.
