Recent Skincare Discoveries From Elemis, C2 California Clean, NEOCUTIS And More! | Quick Reviews & Photos

New skincare trials, quick reviews and thoughts on products I've tested from quite a few new to me brands!

Recent Skincare Discoveries From Elemis, C2 California Clean, NEOCUTIS And More! | Quick Reviews & Photos


Neo.Cleanse Exfoliating Skin Cleanser and the Gentle Skin Cleanser ($38 each; dermstore.com) are two cleansers from NEOCUTIS that I had recently tried out. These are my first ever products from the brand and I quite like these! I found the Exfoliating Cleanser to be a tad less drying than the Gentle one, but they are both good for normal to not too acne prone skin types. I also like them as second cleansers rather than one step makeup remover/cleansers.

Elemis Hydra Boost Sensitive Day Cream ($63; elemis.com) is a lovely, lightweight, fragrance-free cream for the daytime from Elemis. Its great for dry/sensitive skin and leaves skin feeling super soft and plump. It is more of a thicker lotion consistency and absorbs easily. I also love that it comes packaged in a tube and layers beautifully under makeup!

Dermarche Labs Roloxin Lift Gold Instant Wrinkle Smoothing Mask ($33; sephora.com) is an instant smoothing, brightening cream mask with 24K gold.The mask goes on like a luminous cream and dries to a white powdery finish. Its a nice one to use before an event or anytime you need instant radiance. It can dry skin out a little bit and can also leave it a bit sensitive, so be sure to add sun protection and a moisturizer.

Elemis Soothing Chamomile Cleanser ($36; elemis.com) is a gentle cleansing milk for dry/sensitive skin. I assume all skin types could use this because of how gentle it is. I like it for my face since it does a better job of getting face makeup off than eye makeup or anything heavy duty. I also like to use it with a warm washcloth, as always. Its great to use on bare skin too, just leaves it feeling smooth, soft and very balanced!

C2 California Clean ($c2caliclean.com) is another brand new to me that I tried out a serum from. They have a small, but nice lineup of skincare and the Apple Stem Cell Regenerating Serum ($108; c2caliclean.com) is a very powerful repairing serum that helps even skin tone out, reduce the appearance of larger pores and stimulates collagen production. Its a light serum, great to layer under creams and oils and adds a nice glow to your skin. It also has a fairly clean ingredients list and is a nice addition to your anti aging skincare routine.

Kiko now has quite a nice selection of skincare products for every skin type. The Hydra Pro Moisture Mask ($14; kikocosmetics.com) is a hydrating, slightly exfoliating cream mask that I like as a quick ten minute treatment. It is very creamy, has a bit of AHA’s to exfoliate and leaves skin quite hydrated too. Good for the price and smells great!
