BIONOVA Nose-To-Mouth Wrinkle Treatment came in my October BoxyCharm box. I was unfamiliar with this Brooklyn NY-based research-oriented brand, but I was curious to try it. Here’s the description of the product on their website: GIVE THE PROCEDURES A PASS: Reduce fine lines & wrinkles around the nose-to-mouth area (including those dreaded “marionette lines”) and …
A while ago, I was sent a couple of skincare products to try out for possible review. As sometimes happens, the products disappeared into my skincare stash, and I forgot about them. But several weeks ago, I got serious about trying to whittle that stash down. While consolidating and purging items, I came across b. …
There are three skincare ingredients that are must-have in most adults’ skincare regimens: hyaluronic acid for hydration vitamin C for brightness retinol (or Rx RetinA, both a form of vitamin A) for smoothness, firmness and to keep fine lines and wrinkles at bay. PR Sample, Affiliate Links, Informational Link I just about always have a …
PR Sample, Affiliate Links I love using all kinds of essences, and this one from Korean skincare brand Abib is a “horse of a different color”! Most essences I’ve tried are either water like a toner or maybe a very lightweight gel that becomes water on contact with skin. Abib’s Okjuk Essence is something different …
A month ago or so, Derma E generously sent me a box of skincare products from a few brands in addition to their own Derma E products. That really surprised me. There was no explanation, and I don’t have a regular contact at Derma E who I could ask about it. Not one to look …

For the …

But when it comes to eye cream, …
Amalie Beauty has become one of my favorite natural and organic skincare brands because their products are so well-made and my dry skin loves them. Recently, I wrote about REWIND Anti-aging Face Oil from Amalie’s Farm to Face collection of skincare products where the ingredients are grown organically on their Indiana farm and the finished …
I had been eager to try some skincare products from The Ordinary since the raves about the brand last year. But because I have so many skincare products, I never placed an order. When I was chatting on the phone with Jeff’s younger daughter before the holidays, she told me how much she loved …
Serums are my jam. I can’t get enough. I wish I had discovered them when I was young, but they are a fairly recent addition to the skincare game. I thought that a moisturizer or anti-aging moisturizer could do it all, but a serum, lighter weight to get down deeper into the skin itself, really …
StriVectin seems to be to be one of the busiest skincare companies ever. They are always in the lab researching new ingredients and new ways to help skin look and stay younger longer.
