I thought I’d talk about some new skincare because it’s been a minute.
Starting with a glob of Faded by Topicals. I like it so far, and the reviews are mixed. Some people say that it worked on scarring, but not really on stronger pigmentation. The texture is fine. It looks like a thick cream but it’s a melty kind of serum which absorbs and is a bit moisturizing. I don’t use it at night, but I’m trying it in the morning so I will report back. The thing is that it smells awful. I used to use an Obagi HQ cream, and it smelled terrible and that’s what this serum smells like too. Gross. Hopefully, that means that it works. Look how they included so many active ingredients in the serum, I really like that because right now I am rotating between niacinamide, vitamin C, etc.
On to something that smells amazing.
Nature Mary Revive & Repair oil, which I mentioned in my stories last week. I love how it smells like a big rose bouquet, super fresh, but also kind of strong and I can smell it for a while. Look at the rich colour of the oil. It’s made with terpenes from cloves and rosehip oil which is vibrantly coloured. I’ve only used it for about a week, and I can’t always use it with other products in my routine, but it’s in the rotation. I like it.
Finally, some Veriphy Skincare from Canada. I had used this brand years ago, but I found it very strongly scented. I’m not finding that right now, and notably, the cleanser has no scent at all. The face mist is a toner, the Power trip serum has lactic acid in it, and the cleanser is a gentle cream. I love the cleanser because it melts all my makeup.
