Simple skincare notes
Friendly, research-based notes on products and beauty devices worth knowing about.
Personal review
I have started a three-month test of The Ordinary Volufiline 92% + Pal-Isoleucine 1%. My skin already looks a little plumper, but I cannot honestly credit the serum yet because I have also been consistent with my Dr. Renú red-light mask.
Personal review
My Tria FRX has just arrived, so this is the beginning of my review—not a results post. I’m excited to track texture, fine lines, and uneven tone for two months while using my Dr. Renú SpectraLift LED mask as part of the post-treatment routine recommended by my dermatologist.
Research-based review
The KORRES Greek Yoghurt Cleanser is a lovely everyday option if you enjoy a rich cream-to-foam texture. It cleans thoroughly, feels comfortable after rinsing, and turns a basic step into something a little more pleasant.
Research-based review
The Medicube AGE-R Booster Pro is a fun and versatile addition for anyone who enjoys skincare devices. Its four modes cover several routine goals in one tool, and the companion guidance makes it easier to build a consistent habit.
Personal review
I got the viral Dr. Renú SpectraLift LED Mask and have used it for two months. My skin looks less red and my complexion looks healthier overall. It has also felt less irritated alongside my prescription-retinoid routine.
Research-based review
Balea Beauty Expert Clear Face Mist is a refreshingly simple and affordable extra step. With only water and hypochlorous acid listed, it is easy to understand and convenient to keep nearby when skin needs a light mist.
