The Skinlex 2% Alpha-Arbutin Serum did an impressive job at lightening my hyperpigmentation and I’m pretty amazed!

I’m not sure how I came about the Skinlex 2% Alpha-Arbutin Serum. It’s not a brand I’m familiar with, nor an ingredient I’m used to using.

Yet, one day while browsing Worthee Cosmetics, I conveniently added it to my shopping basket, ordered it, and promptly forgot about it.

Until now.

I took it out to use, but there was something about it that didn’t sit well with me, so it was a product I wasn’t very regular with. And then, we went into lockdown, and I went on a mission to use up my skincare.

And when I ran out of my most recent Vitamin C serum, I decided to use the Skinlex 2% Alpha-Arbutin Serum up, before hopping along to a new Vitamin C serum.

Well, let’s just say that I’m pretty impressed by this nondescript little bottle! 😀

As a fan of Vitamin C serums, it was natural that I try the Sunday Riley C.E.O. Vitamin C Serum

I once declared that I was done with Sunday Riley. Well, as they say, those were famous last words.

While I am usually quite firm on my principles when it comes to these things, I found my resolve wavering some time last year.

There was a deal for a set of Sunday Riley products in a trial size on Cult Beauty or SpaceNK, and I’d been wanting to try the CEO range for a while. So, after dithering for a while, wrestling with my conscience, I decided to spring for it 😛 Principles, what’s that? 😛

The first item I tested was the Sunday Riley CEO Rapid Flash Brightening Serum. The reason I was keen on this one is because despite the name, it’s a Vitamin C serum! And you know how I feel about Vitamin C serums – I love them 😛

Happy I took a chance with the Trilogy Vitamin C Moisturising Lotion

A while ago, I shared with you my thoughts on the highly raved Trilogy Vitamin C Booster Treatment, and I wasn’t terribly sold on it, unfortunately. So, I wasn’t half as keen to try its sister product, the Trilogy Vitamin C Moisturising Lotion.

But then, I ran out of my regular moisturizer, and when fishing around in my cupboard, my eye fell on this.

I thought to give it a chance.

And I’m glad I did! 😀

A 2 week trial with the freshly activated Trilogy Vitamin C Booster Treatment

October 7, 2019 Paris B 4 Comments

It’s been a while since I shared a review about a Vitamin C serum. The reason is because I took a short break after using the last one. It wasn’t intentional but circumstantial.

After a month or so, I decided to get back into the groove, and picked up the Trilogy Vitamin C Booster Treatment that I’d been sent to try. I thought it was intriguing, because it had a ‘fresh activation’ packaging, rather like the one from Clinique.

Even more interesting is that the Trilogy Vitamin C Booster Treatment comes in a very small 12.5ml dose, and is recommended to be used up in 2 weeks. Little things like this often make me wonder about the product efficacy and potency, so I put it to the test.
