I’ve been a big fan of La Roche Posay’s “Rosaliac” cleanser for years now but lately I haven’t been able to find it in my favourite stores. That is online stores, La Roche Posay is no where to be found in brick-and-mortar stores in Australia at all. If I’m wrong please correct me as I would love to be able to buy it from Australian stores if I need it in a hurry.
Rosaliac is a gel cleanser, and it has a beautiful soothing, cooling feel to it which is perfect for (as the name implies) anyone with Rosacia. If you have Rosacia I strongly recommend it for you, it may be the best cleanser you’ve ever tried. As for me, …

Another great Avene cream for extra sensitive skin types that I’m surprised I haven’t reviewed yet. This is a reliable cream that I have been using for years for extra dry, eczema afflicted skin. I recently took advantage of the strong AU dollar and bought some more recently from the Pharamundi amazon store here at a much better price that you find in Australian priceline stores and with a fairly cheap delivery fee too; international delivery is one thing that can negate the benefits of purchasing skincare overseas, but in this case it’s not a problem. I can vouch for the quality of the cream as it was the same old cream I have always used, really good at …

Most of the reviews I post here tend to be positive. When I find something good I want to share it, but if something doesn’t work too well for me (or if I have a bad reaction to it) I often assume that different people might not react in the same way. However, the same would apply to products I like – they might not be great for everyone. I am keeping this in mind as I review this cleanser and moisturizer from Ren (that has been great) as I have heard a few stories where it is not suitable for some people.
I decided to try both the Ren hydra-calming cleanser and day cream after a recommendation from a mecca …

I must admit most of the clarins creams I’ve tried so far tend to be not hydrating enough for dry skins. That’s mainly due to the ones I’ve tried, the hydraquench range however is made to hydrate all skin types including dry or very dry skins. This particular product from the hydraquench line, the cooling gel cream is a summer favorite of mine and even though it is for normal to combination skin types I find it provides enough moisture for dry skin too. It is the most ideal skincare to use in really hot climates, perhaps only second to Skinfoods cucumber and lettuce jelly. I always keep a jar of it in the fridge for the extra cooling …

Okay, I’ve had a few weeks break from my Skinsavers reviews here to work on a big writing project. That’s nearly done so I am back to my regular reviews starting with an amazing, HG face cream that I want to review first. I also haven’t posted for a while because I have been so happy with this cream that I haven’t tried many others. My major skin concerns at the moment are irritation, redness, a few pimples, dryness and combination skin (dry and oily areas). For this reason I have difficulty finding creams and skincare that meet all these needs at once. Usually I tend to shuffle between different products depending on what my skin needs most at the …
