Review: Skinceuticals' Hydrating B5 Gel

Greetings, my friend!

Bottom Line - while this hydrated, I didn't see any substantial difference and will not purchase this again.

Skinceuticals:
Skinceuticals is a US skincare company that was created by Alden Pinnell and Russell Moon in 1997. Their products are the result of decades of skin cancer research, and their research and development teams are made up of doctors or researchers. As such, their products are scientifically proven to improve skin health. It’s also important to note that their products are backed by science from the first stage through the final formulations, and that all of their products go through an extensive medical-grade clinical testing before they are released to the public.

Skinceuticals' Hydrating B5 Gel:
I really wanted to like this product because it gets such fantastic reviews, but even after using three bottles at different times of the year - I was left underwhelmed. Maybe I expected too much from it (given how much I love Skinceuticals' other products), but while it moisturized my face - I didn't notice any substantial differences. Like with some of the other products I've reviewed - maybe my skin's general good health is why I didn't see a big difference, but either way - I won't be repurchasing it. I will add that it didn't irritate my skin and provided moderate hydration.

Stat:

This costs $82 for 1oz (30ml). You can buy them on Skinceuticals website (www.skinceuticals.com), but also Skinstore.com and Dermstore.com. I tend to gravitate towards Skinstore and Dermstore only because I like their freebies a little more, and a couple times a year Skinceuticals' products go on sale for 10-to-20% off.

I do not recommend buying high-end beauty products from Amazon or eBay - particularly when it comes to Skinceuticals. While I love Amazon and eBay and most sellers are legitimate with quality products - beauty products tend to be highly susceptible to fraud. If you're going to spend your hard earned money, make sure you're buying what you think you're buying. Bottom line - go to their website and make sure that where you are buying your product is actually authorized (https://www.skinceuticals.com/authorize.html) to sell it.

That's it! Let me know if you have any questions.

Review: 6 Different SokoGlam Sheet Masks

Greetings, my friends! Bottom Line - I would buy almost every mask again with the exception of the E-Nature mask. E-Nature: Per SokoGlam.com, E-Nature was founded on the principle of creating breakthrough formulas for your skin by fusing cutting-edge Korean technology with the safest and most effective natural ingredients. E-Nature's Squeeze Green Watery Sheet Mask: This mask was "okay." It's a cotton mask soaked in watery essence (not goo) which felt nice and cool on my face, but I didn't see any difference other than that it slightly hydrated my skin. It's meant to treat excess sebum, but I didn't notice a difference either. This costs $2.50, but I don't think I'll buy it again. Klavuu: Per SokoGlam.com, Klavuu is Korea's first marine pearl cosmetic brand that infuses natural pearl, essential oils, and marine plant extracts into their signature formulas. Natural pearls will enrich, hydrate, and firm the skin, for the most ra...

Review: Dermalogica's Oil Free Matte SPF 30

Greetings, my friends! Bottom Line - this is a great matte daytime lotion which I think is worth a try for someone looking for a new lotion. Dermalogica : Dermalogica is an American skincare company founded by Jane and Rey Wurwand in 1986. However, before the first Dermalogica products were made - in 1983, Jane, a U.K. trained skin therapist, opened "The International Dermal Institute" for licensed skin therapists to teach hands-on postgraduate level skincare training. Realizing there weren't products on the market which matched what she was teaching, Jane and Rey established Dermalogica. They decided they wanted a p roduct line free of common irritants and ingredients which they felt led to breakouts, such as lanolin, SD alcohol, mineral oil, artificial colors, and fragrances - and that's exactly what they ended up creating. Dermalogica Oil Free Matte SPF 30 : This is a great light daytime lotion. Not only does it soak in quickly and leaves a matte-ish s...
