Documenting my Trials and Tribulations with Beauty Products
I recall speaking with a sales rep at Shoppers Drugmart (Canadian drugstore) years ago (like 5+ years ago, oh my!) and he told me that he’s noticed many customers buy La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 for acne. Since that encounter, I have continuously had a tube of it in my skincare collection. The original…
As mentioned in my post Slowvember: Taking it Slow with Skincare, I have experienced some bad reactions at the beginning of November. It is clear that my skin has not been impressed with me and has had enough of my shenanigans. I decided November will be an actual “Slowvember” month in order to keep my…
I know this is a good time of year to stock up on skincare favourites. There are also good deals on expensive skincare products we’ve been wanting to try. But I’d like to share something different this year with those of you in pursuit to healthier skin: taking it slow with skincare. What is Slow…
NIOD’s Copper Amino Isolate Serum 3 1:1 (CAIS3) has been rotating in my skincare routine since the end of March. I thought it was about time to review this skincare product for you all!

My first set of purchases were back in March and all items fell under French Pharmacy. At the time, my skin was still healing from my CO2 Fraxel Laser sessions. The skincare I purchased were all very reliable for sensitive skin – gentle, soothing and wound-healing. The healing phase is well passed and I emptied…
I have been experiencing summer-like weather since April, and as a result, I’ve never sweat so much in my life. At the beginning of this warm season, I experienced a pretty bad cystic acne breakout on my back – the dreaded bacne. This due to excessive sweating from the weather, gym and laziness towards body…
