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 …

Clarins make some nice products for sensitive skin, I particularly like their cleansers. Having some success with those (and their UVA/B sun block) I wanted to try one of their moisturizers.
The multi-active day cream is a nice light cream. As with other clarins products a very little goes a long way. Just a little dab of this cream covers a lot of skin, it has a very soft sheer consistency that glides on really nicely. That said, this particular cream for ‘all skin types’ doesn’t quite give me as much hydration I would need on the dry areas of my skin, it would probably be more accurate to say this was more for normal skin types than all skin …

The Clarins daily energizer cream and cleanser are made with young skin in mind – to refresh and tone the complexion. They are not the most hydrating products around and I would make the disclaimer that they are best suited to normal to oily skin types. That said they are lovely to use and really do make the skin feel fresh and rejuvenated. First up the cleanser is wonderful. It is a soft gel that lathers up a little and cleanses very thoroughly. The cream gel is more like a regular moisturizing cream than a gel although it is on the light side so the gel part is appropriate.
The best thing about the energizer cream and cleanser is the lovely …

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 …

Yes, Skinfood is definitely my favorite BB cream brand (of the one’s I’ve tried so far that is!). Although I have a bit of a gripe with the colours available I love the way it protects my skin from the sun and environmental allergens without exacerbating oiliness or spots. My problem with the colours is that there are only two available and neither suit my skin tone. They have light and dark, the light is very ghostly pale and the dark is for naturally dark skin tones of which I am neither. I do think that the tones where designed with Asian skintones in mind, which does make sense given this is a Singaporean (edit: Korean) skincare brand. Anyway, I …
