SkinCeuticals | C E Ferulic Serum & Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50: Review

Disclaimer: The products featured were provided for review.

If you're deep in the skincare community, you've probably heard that SkinCeuticals' 20-year patent on its iconic C E Ferulic Serum expired earlier this year. Since then, at least one major brand (e.l.f.) has released a budget-friendly alternative to the C$220 serum. Not so coincidentally, SkinCeuticals recently sent out a mailer promoting the cult-favorite serum, alongside the Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50, which launched last summer. Honestly, before all the buzz around the patent expiration, I had never even heard of the C E Ferulic Serum (probably because it’s way out of my budget), so this is actually my first time trying it. To read my thoughts on both products, click......

Torriden is a popular Korean skincare brand well known for its DIVE-IN Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Serum. The brand is widely available in North America via online retailers and it's even available at some Canadian in-store retailers such as T&T, Oomomo, and Winners. Recently, I received the brand's CELLMAZING Vita C Brightening Ampoule (C$38 for 30 ml) as a gift with purchase in my Stylevana order. I love anything vitamin C so I started using it right away.

Watier | Sublimessence High Brightening Vitamin C Serum: Review

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links and the product featured was provided for review.

It's been a long, long time since I received any product releases from Lise Watier so I was quite surprised when their new Sublimessence High Brightening Vitamin C Serum (C$88 for 38 ml) landed on my doorsteps. It also seems that Lise Watier recently rebranded itself so now it's simply called Watier, which I find a bit puzzling as the original name sounded great. Anyhow, I'm a sucker for a good vitamin C serum so let's take a look at this one......

Graydon | Moon Boost Serum: Review

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links and the products featured were provided for review.

As mentioned in my previous review of the Sahajan Brightening Mask, Indigo recently sent me a bunch of clean skincare products to promote the launch of their Vancouver Robson St Beauty & Wellness Shop. I was very excited to be introduced to so many indie skincare brands, including Graydon, a Canadian company based in Toronto. Founded by vegan chef and yoga instructor Graydon Moffat, Graydon is a plant-based skincare company dedicated to "nutrient-dense, clinically-proven superfood ingredients". Today I want to take a closer look at the Graydon Moon Boost Serum (C$89 for 30 ml), to read all about it, click......

Peter Thomas Roth | FIRMx® Collagen Face & Eye Hydra-Gel Patches & Potent-C Bright & Plump Moisturizer: Review

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links and the products featured were provided for review.

To be honest, although I'm an avid skincare enthusiast and have tried a lot of different brands, there are still some that elude me. Peter Thomas Roth is one of them. Maybe because of the steep pricing or the somewhat boring and clinical packaging (although the brand does describe itself as "Clinical Skin Care"), I've only ever purchased one item from Peter Thomas Roth - a Mask-A-Holic Kit that includes all the brand's bestselling masks. Thanks to the magic of TikTok, the brand saw a huge soar in popularity in the recent couple of years so I felt compelled to give it another try. So to read my thoughts on the FIRMx® Collagen Face & Eye Hydra-Gel Patches and the Potent-C Bright & Plump Moisturizer, click......

Glow Recipe | Guava Vitamin C Dark Spot Treatment Serum: Review

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links and the product featured was provided for review.

I consider myself a pretty big Glow Recipe fan and up until a couple of months ago, I thought I had tried (and reviewed) just about every product the brand has released to date. Somehow, I missed out on the Guava Vitamin C Dark Spot Treatment Serum (C$59 for 30 ml). Released in the fall of last year, this brightening serum currently stands as one of the brand's bestsellers.

Lush | *NEW* Happy Skin Facial Exfoliator, Bright and Beautiful Facial Scrub, Co-Mingle Body Scrub & Sticky Dates Shower Gel: Review

Disclaimer: The products featured were provided for review.

As you can probably imagine, I don't purchase a whole lot of beauty products out of pocket since I receive plenty of media samples to sustain my needs. However, Lush is one of the few brands I still regularly shop from simply because I love their products. Especially since the pandemic, I've been making a real effort to attend to my self care so I always have some Lush bath products on hand. Recently, Lush released a handful of new products and the brand kindly send them over for me to test out. So without further ado, here is my review of the new Happy Skin Enzymic Facial Exfoliator (C$23 for 100g), Bright and Beautiful Vitamin C Exfoliating Facial Scrub (C$25 for 100g), Co-Mingle Body Scrub (C$25 for 225g), and Sticky Dates Shower Gel (C$11.50 for 100 ml)......

Honest Beauty | Vitamin C Radiance Serum & Honestly Pure Retinol Serum: Review

Disclaimer: The products featured were provided for review.

I first tried Honest Beauty a couple months ago and was thoroughly impressed with the reasonable price point and clean formulation (read my review for the Gentle Gel Cleanser and 3-in-1 Detox Mud Mask here). So I decided to delve a little deeper into the brand with a test drive of a couple of its bestsellers, the Vitamin C Radiance Serum (C$39.99) and the Honestly Pure Retinol Serum (C$39.99), both available in stores and online at Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada.

Dermalogica expands its vitamin C family this year with the new Biolumin-C Eye Serum (C$98 for 14 ml). Described as a lightweight serum that delivers a "highly-bioavailable vitamin C complex", the Biolumin-C Eye Serum promises to brighten, hydrate, and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Elizabeth Arden | Vitamin C Ceramide Capsules Radiance Renewal Serum: Review

Disclaimer: The products featured were provided for review.

Unless you've been living in a cave, you'd know that the hottest skincare ingredient right now is vitamin C (so much so that I've created a "vitamin C" category on the blog)! At the London Drugs #LDBeauty event a few weeks ago, I was introduced to yet another vitamin C skincare, the new Elizabeth Arden Vitamin C Ceramide Capsules Radiance Renewal Serum (C$63 for 30 Capsules or C$110 for 60 Capsules). The market is quite saturated right now for vitamin C serums but this one definitely offers something different with its individually sealed, single-dose capsules that ensure the potency of the ingredient.
