The Inkey List Retinol : For the times when the budget is tight but you want something effective

May 11, 2020 Paris B 8 Comments

I’ve used a few products from The Inkey List since they launched, and I must say that it is an affordable brand that impresses me. I have since lost count of the new products launched since, but I might get round to trying them some day.

One of the products that I was most keen to try back then was The Inkey List Retinol serum. The packaging was damaged in my first order, but I later reordered it, because I was started to get into retinol serums, and this fascinated me at how affordable it was!

Like all retinol serums, it takes me ages to form an opinion about them, or even to share a review, because retinol takes time to show results. It most certainly isn’t a magic wand, and it can cause more harm than good, if not properly used. Hence, I always exercise caution and I advise everyone to do the same 🙂

So, does The Inkey List Retinol Serum do anything for me?

Let the French boost skin hydration the natural way with the Novexpert Booster Serum with Hyaluronic Acid

Give me a product with Hyaluronic Acid, and I’d be all over it, raring to have a go. Hydration! Let me at all that hydration! This more so, after I’d had a happy encounter with the first Novexpert product I tried not very long ago.

The second product I’ve tried from French pharmacy brand Novexpert is the Novexpert Booster Serum with Hyaluronic Acid.

I have tried many hydration serums that contain high concentrations of hyaluronic acid, and I am always looking out for the next big thing.

Might this one be it? 😀

5 Things I Love Vol. 5 : New Year new beginnings

I compiled my last ‘5 Things I Love’ post in September 2019! So much has happened since then! But it’s a brand new year, so it’s a brand new compilation of random things that I love, mostly happening in January 2020.

Please feel free to share the 5 Things you love too – it helps you think a little and put things into perspective, and breaks down each month into more easily digestible bits 🙂

Containing 25% stablized Vitamin C the Novexpert Booster Vitamin C is quite impressive

January 6, 2020 Paris B Leave a Comment

Some time in the past few months, I stopped using a Vitamin C serum. While it is a staple in my routine, I was experiencing some skin sensitivity, that made me go back to basics, to regain my skin health.

When things got back to normal, I decided to break open a new Vitamin C serum, from a brand that I wasn’t familiar with. Experimentation is the name of the game!

The brand was Novexpert, a French brand of skincare that I’d briefly heard of, but never really come across. The brand was founded by doctors and researchers who focus on skin aging, and is sold at pharmacies, albeit at a higher price tag as they are known as “cosmoceutical” brands. The products are formulated without known harmful ingredients, and are designed to be gentle even on sensitive skin.

While I found the brand story interesting, and not unlike that of most brands today, what I was more interested in what in the efficacy of their products. The first I tried was the Novexpert Booster Vitamin C serum. If I was going to dive in, I’d dive in with one of my favourite product categories! 😀
