I have previously talked about the Australian brand Skinstitut, and today I am very excited to be putting some further products from heir large range to the test… Skinstitut is an Australian cosmeceutical skincare range using premium, potent and cutting edge cosmical grade ingredients based on proven blends of AHA’s, Retinoids, Vitamin C, Peptides, Antioxidants and SPF technology. And what I really love, is that the cruelty free company also believes that high-end skincare should be accessible to everyone, and consequently their products are priced around 50% less than other comparative brands, with all products having a recommended retail price of $49 or less, and you can frequently find great offers on various online beauty shopping sites too, such as Active Skin , RY and Facial Co , so just how amazing is that! Now, let’s talk about the products I’ve put to the test; Skinstitut Glycolic Cleanser 12%*  Skinstitut Glycolic Scrub 14%*  Skinstitut Enzymatic Micro Peel*  Skinstitut

I love nothing more than coming across new Australian brand, and even more so when I learn that they are For the past few weeks, cruelty-free and made using evidence-based and scientific ingredients to fight the signs of ageing and repair and protect the skin from the effects of a harsh environment. Today I am talking about  ESK Evidence Skincare  , which are also made without any harmful ingredients. I’ve put the following products from  ESK Evidence Skincare   to the test; Calming Cleanse* (AM + PM) Hydroxy Cleanser* (AM + PM) Enlighten* (AM) Zinc Shade* (AM) Smooth Serum* (PM) Ultimate A+* (PM) Beta Intense Night Mask* (PM) The Calming Cleanse is gentle soap free cleanser, designed for those with drier or more sensitive skin to be used both morning and evening.

For the past few months I’ve been loving the Australian cosmeceutical brand  ESK Evidence Skincare   - their cruelty free products are created by doctors and dermatologists, using evidence-based and scientific ingredients to fight the signs of ageing and repair and protect the skin from the effects of a harsh environment. I talked about a full skincare regimen a little while ago, which was completely tailored to my skin type, needs and concerns (you can read more about it here ), but today I am going to talk a little more about their Ultimate A+... The  ESK Evidence Skincare   Ultimate A+* is a night cream, which contains retinal to help fight the signs of ageing, including hyper pigmentation, lines, wrinkles and skin elasticity, while also promoting collagen growth, combating acne and rosacea, and improving skin texture. Vitamin A is THE ingredients that I have found to be most efficient at both fighting the signs of ageing and reducing pigmentation on my ageing skin, while also help

Today I am going to talk about an Australian brand I’ve only recently come across,  Jeunifique . The brand makes products using sustainably-sourced, cruelty-free whole botanicals, free from sulphates, parabens, lanolin, mineral oil, SLS, and artificial colours and fragrances.  I have put the Jeunifique Rejuvi-Nite Serum * to the test. It is designed for all skin types including dry, normal and acne-prone skin types, showing signs of ageing, loss of elasticity or dullness to help detoxify, nourish, hydrate and boost the skin’s own immunity, while reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and soothing inflammation, for a more glowing youthful skin. It is made using potent botanical actives , and key ingredients including; Vitamin A in a 0.2% concentration to help firm and revitalise the skin, and reduce skin pigmentation for a more even and brighter skin tone Vitamin B3 (niacinamide) to help the skin retain hydration, and increase skin elasticity  Vitamin B5 to deeply hydrate and a

If you regularly tune stop by my little blog or my instagram page, you’re probably well aware how addicted I am to using Retinol as I simply find it is the one ingredient that works wonders for both my ageing skin as well as my breakouts. But I have never actually tried a retinol eye cream, until Medik8’s latest launch, r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum* landed on my desk.  In 2016, Medik8 introduced a new encapsulated vitamin A molecule to the market – retinyl retinoate, a hybrid of traditional retinol and clinical strength retinoic acid that’s 8 times more powerful than retinol, and now the r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum is added to the range.  The r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum contains the following key ingredients; Retinyl Retionate to stimulate collagen synthesis and supports the regeneration of skin cells  Hesperidin - to improve blood circulation and strengthen capillary walls for brighter under eyes  Caffeine - to revitalise and help reduce the size of blood

The clinically-proven cosmeceutical range is designed by scientists, using pure and efficient and powerful ingredients, formulated to provide optimum results with targeted solutions for enhancing skin’s appearance and reducing signs of ageing.

It has a very high concentration, 30% of THD Ascorbic, which is the most stable form of Vitamin C available, anti is designed to help brighten the skin, and prevail any UV damage including dark sun spots, pigmentation and r

You guys probably know by now how much I love, or should I say, addicted to Vitamin products I am, when a bottle of the Medik8 Crystal Retinal 10* landed on my desk, I couldn’t wait to try. I have started from the ‘ground’ up, as you should with retinol, to get the skin used to it, and used all lower strengths of the Medik8 retinols, and let me say, they’re all incredible, regardless of the ‘level’ you’re at. The Medik8 Crystal Retinal is made with retinaldehyde, a super-charged derivative of vitamin A, that works with the skin to enhance collagen production and speed up cellular turnover. All vitamin A needs to be converted to retinoid acid before it can take effect by the skin, and essentially, the fewer conversions the product need to make to reach that level, the more effective and the quicker it start working. It needs to go through these stages; Retinol → Retinaldehyde → Retinoic Acid That also means that Retinoic Acid has been clinically proven to work faster than retinol, at fo
