Founded in 1997, SkinCeuticals is a skincare brand currently owned by L’Oréal. The brand features cleansers, toners, serums, moisturizers and sunscreens, but it is perhaps SkinCeuticals’ serums that are the most noted. Today I am featuring three of them, each of which has its own specific purpose.
– Hydrating B5 (Moisture-Enhancing Fluid)
As the name suggests, Hydrating B5 is a moisturizing serum. It has a watery-gel consistency and has a lot of slip. (The consistency and texture slightly resemble those of aloe vera juice.)

Joining the winter sale madness, I stopped by Paul & Joe at Harrods and Fenwick a couple of days ago. (Paul & Joe’s sale items are usually recently discontinued products, soon-to-be discontinued products, and surplus stock, and they are usually (almost always) 50% off their full retail prices. (Have a look at this post for more information on seasonal sales on cosmetics in the UK.))
All the items I got this time are 50% off retail prices. I would not have purchased these items at their full prices (possibly with the exception of the Body Milk), but, with the considerable discounts, I was very happy to bring home and try these products:
(Towards the end of this post, there is a list of items that I remember are on sale in Harrods and Fenwick.)

Neutrogena‘s new Multi-Defence skincare range claims to combat what the brand calls the five key environmental aggressors that can damage the skin: sun, pollution, cold, heat, and wind.

Chanel‘s Sublimage range is the brand’s most upscale skincare range. According to Chanel, the planifolia (listed as vanilla planifolia fruit water on the ingredient list) that all the products in this range contain has an intensive regenerating action. Today I am highlighting a new addition to the range, Essential Revitalizing Concentrate, which will be launched in the UK on October 8th.

The new Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Advanced Face Serum is claimed to soothe skin’s redness, sensitivity and reactivity, and it is recommended by Origins for those with rosacea. Today I am taking a closer look at this product.
The serum has a light liquidy consistency and spreads very easily. This consistency should potentially suit those with combination or oily skin, but I wouldn’t recommend it to those with these two skin types since it contains a lot of (occlusive) plant oils.

Among L’Occitane‘s Immortelle skincare lineup is the Brightening range, and today I am featuring the Brightening Essence and the Brightening Moisture Cream.
The Immortelle Brightening Essence has a very lightweight and watery consistency and it is absorbed quickly. Some of its main ingredients are glycerin, pentylene glycol, ascorbyl glucoside, bellis perennis (daisy) flower extract and anthemis nobilis flower water.
