Spoiler: I wouldn’t call The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% a dupe for Paula’s Choice 10% Azelaic Acid Booster. If you know The Ordinary (and who doesn’t?), you know they’re one-trick ponies. They give you one active per product – that’s how they keep the prices low. Paula’s Choice takes the opposite approach. She packs […]
I dig a good Hyaluronic Acid moisturizer. There’s nothing like it to keep skin supple and glowing all day long. HA quenches the thirst of dry skin, hydrates oily skin without turning it into a greasy mess and is gentle enough for sensitive skin, too.

If there’s one product that’s let me down this year, it’s The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG. Not that’s it a bad product. It makes my puffy eyes disappear faster and helps me keep crow’s feet away. But when it comes to treating dark circles, it fails. So when I heard The Inkey List […]

The older version of Indeed Labs Retinol Reface used the same two forms of Vitamin A as The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion: Retinol and Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (Granactive Retinoid). The newer version has done away with Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate and replaced it […]
