This comparative review of Korean vitamin C serums has been brewing for some time. To the point that everything in the pictures is a repeat purchase except for the It’s Skin serum. A bit about myself: combination, sensitive skin prone to breakouts and pigmentation. Light coperouse veins on the nostrils. (more…)
Ciracle Anti-Redness K is a soothing line for rosacea and sensitive, couperose-prone skin.

Happy weekend, everyone. Since the article will be long, I’ll start with my skin type. I have combination, sensitive skin prone to breakouts with light couperose veins. At the same time, it’s where hot and dry where I live so I want extra hydration and anti-aging. (more…)

Recently I have started to experiment with tubed and cushioned BB creams, and they pretty much require a primer, otherwise they fall into the pores.
