Our Honest Take on Dermabon’s Coal Tar Soap for Skin Relief
Our Honest Take on Dermabon’s Coal Tar Soap for Skin Relief
After testing Dermabon’s Psoriasis Cleanser for two weeks, we’re impressed with its performance. The 2% coal tar formulation effectively reduced inflammation and itching for our team members struggling with psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. We noticed visible improvement within days, particularly on scalp and elbow patches.
What sets this product apart is its moisturizing quality-unlike many medicated soaps that leave skin dry and tight. The six-pack offers excellent value for a dermatologist-recommended product, making daily treatment economical.
While the coal tar scent is present (as expected), it dissipates quickly after rinsing. We appreciate that it’s gentle enough for daily use yet potent enough to provide real relief. For those battling stubborn skin conditions who haven’t found success with other options, we believe Dermabon’s cleanser deserves a spot in your skincare routine.
The Level 2 Revolution: Our Full-Body Skin Savior
The Level 2 Revolution: Our Full-Body Skin Savior
We’ve encountered countless body serums in our skincare journey, but Level 2 Mandelic Acid Body Serum has genuinely revolutionized our approach to full-body skincare. This versatile 4 oz bottle tackles multiple concerns we’ve struggled with for years-from stubborn back acne to ingrown hairs on our thighs.
What sets this serum apart is its ability to address such a wide spectrum of issues. We’ve noticed significant improvement in dark spots across our chest area and a smoother texture on aging skin. The mandelic acid formula penetrates effectively without the harsh irritation we’ve experienced with other chemical exfoliants.
While applying it to hard-to-reach areas requires some flexibility, the results are worth the effort. Our collective experience suggests this isn’t just another trendy product-it’s a comprehensive solution for those of us dealing with body skin concerns that facial-focused skincare routines typically overlook.
We Test iRESTORE’s 3-Step Red Light Therapy Kit
We Test iRESTORE’s 3-Step Red Light Therapy Kit
We recently got our hands on the iRESTORE 3-Step Skincare Set and put it through a thorough two-week trial. This Red Light Therapy Essentials Kit includes a hydrating cleanser, facial spray, and anti-aging serum designed to complement their red light therapy mask.
The cleanser impressed us with its gentle yet effective formula that removed makeup without stripping moisture. We particularly enjoyed the refreshing facial spray, which provided an instant hydration boost between treatments. The standout, however, was the anti-aging serum-its lightweight texture absorbed quickly while delivering noticeable firmness.
What makes this trio special is how it’s formulated to enhance the effects of red light therapy. While the products perform well independently, we found they truly shine when used alongside the iRESTORE mask (sold separately). For those already invested in red light therapy, this set offers a convenient way to maximize results.
Our Glow-Up Journey: SOME BY MI’s Vitamin C Elixir
Our Glow-Up Journey: SOME BY MI’s Vitamin C Elixir
We’ve been on countless skincare quests, but few products have intrigued us quite like SOME BY MI’s Galactomyces Pure Vitamin C Glow Serum. This little 30ml bottle promises that coveted “glass skin” effect that Korean beauty enthusiasts rave about. After incorporating it into our morning routine for three weeks, we’ve noticed a gradual brightening of those stubborn dark spots that previously seemed permanent fixtures. The lightweight texture absorbs quickly, leaving no sticky residue-just a subtle luminosity that builds with consistent use. While not an overnight miracle (what truly effective skincare is?), we appreciate how it’s gently refining our skin’s texture and elasticity. The combination of Vitamin C and Galactomyces creates a balanced formula that doesn’t irritate even our more sensitive-skinned team members. It’s becoming a quiet but effective player in our skincare lineup.
Our Take: Glo’s Clarify + Balance Set for Skin Renewal
Our Take: Glo’s Clarify + Balance Set for Skin Renewal
We recently tested Glo Skin Beauty’s Clarify + Balance Elevated Essentials Set, and we’re impressed with the results. The duo includes full-size versions of their Purifying Gel Cleanser and Beta-Clarity BHA Drops, creating a simple but effective skincare routine for problematic skin.
The gel cleanser removes impurities without stripping moisture, leaving our skin feeling refreshed rather than tight. What really stands out, though, are the Beta-Clarity Drops. This concentrated treatment delivers salicylic acid deep into pores, effectively targeting breakouts and preventing new ones from forming.
After three weeks of use, we noticed significantly clearer skin with reduced redness and fewer breakouts. The set works particularly well for combination and oily skin types, though we’d recommend adding a moisturizer to complete the routine.
For those struggling with persistent blemishes and uneven texture, this powerhouse duo delivers professional-grade results at home.
Our Dance with Mad Hippie’s Retinol Revolution
Our Dance with Mad Hippie’s Retinol Revolution
We recently welcomed Mad Hippie’s Super A Retinol Serum into our nightly skincare waltz, and what a partner it’s proven to be. The glass bottle houses a potent cocktail of three retinoids and bakuchiol, dancing together to smooth our fine lines while the hyaluronic acid keeps dryness at bay.
The serum glides across our skin like silk, absorbing with surprising quickness and leaving no sticky residue in its wake. Our complexions, typically temperamental when introduced to retinol products, remained calm throughout this introduction. After three weeks, we’ve noticed a subtle refinement in texture-those stubborn forehead lines seem less pronounced in morning light.
At 1.02 ounces, the bottle isn’t enormous, but the dropper dispenses just enough for each application. Like any meaningful relationship, our skin’s transformation with this retinol revolution has been gradual rather than overnight-but sometimes the slow dances leave the most lasting impressions.
