Nivea White Oil Control Make Up Clear 2 in 1 Foaming Cleanser : A Short(-ish) Review

Noob-Friendly Acid : A Review of COSRX One Step Pimple Clear Pad

Confession time : I am a bit squeamish about putting acid on my face. I know that my oily, acne-prone(-ish) and hyperpigmentation-laden skin could really benefit from chemical exfoliation. However, using acid products could be highly irritating and/or give you legit purging, and I was just not mentally ready for another breakout. Even those that […]
