I had been hearing about the PDRN ingredient for quite some time, and my curiosity finally won. I decided to try one of the most talked-about serums featuring it — Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum.

The packaging feels thoughtful and high-quality: a sturdy box filled with information and a 30 ml transparent glass bottle inside. The pipette with a metallic cap looks reliable and pleasant to use. The serum itself has a slightly greenish tint, a texture a bit thicker than water, and a faint sour scent. When applied, it feels like there’s a very subtle oily undertone — barely noticeable.

I mostly use it in the evening because in the morning it feels sticky — quite noticeably, and that’s not something I enjoy. That’s probably the only downside for me. I apply it under a richer cream, and then the stickiness is barely noticeable. It absorbs quickly and feels comfortable on the skin.

The results aren’t immediate — I noticed them after about two weeks. At first, I didn’t see any changes and even started to doubt it, but then I suddenly realized my skin looked fresher and the facial contours felt more firm. Nothing else in my routine had changed — I always test products one at a time to clearly understand how my skin reacts.

In the end, this serum turned out to be quite interesting. It’s economical, and the results simply require patience. I liked it!

Not long ago, Essence teamed up with Disney again and released a large collection inspired by The Little Mermaid. I was initially interested in the eyeshadows and lipsticks, but in the end, I only managed to grab one chubby stick — simply because the rest was sold out in store. And surprisingly, this lipstick turned out to be almost perfect.

From time to time, I come back to Pantene conditioners — they’re reliable and make my hair really soft. I’ve just finished another bottle from the Aqua Light line, so here are my thoughts.

Cold weather is the time when I always switch to richer and more nourishing hand creams. Closer to autumn, lighter textures simply stop working for me. At the moment, the cream living on my bedside table is Bioderma Atoderm Hands & Nails Ultra-Repairing Cream, designed for very dry hands and nails.

When the weather turns warm, it’s the perfect time to switch to lip gloss — and lately, I’ve been completely hooked. Today, I’m sharing one of my recent finds: the Gosh Lip Gloss in shade 0022, a nearly flawless cold-toned gloss that’s both elegant and wearable.

In my opinion, the most well-known antioxidant is vitamin C. It’s a classic skincare ingredient that my skin has always tolerated well and truly enjoys. And since spring has already arrived, I crave freshness, smoothness, and radiance — all things vitamin C can help achieve. This spring, it has become part of my evening routine in the form of Avène Vitamin Activ C Radiance Corrector Serum.

I skipped the previous pistachio-themed limited collection from Catrice, but the new spring launch immediately caught my attention. Even from the promo images, I knew I wouldn’t be able to resist. As soon as I saw the display in store, I picked up both the lip pencil and the face palette without hesitation.

Frudia is well known for its interesting cosmetic ingredients — I used to absolutely love their blueberry line for dry skin, which worked wonderfully for me. Last summer, I decided to explore their sunscreens, and Green Grape Sebum Control Sun Gel SPF 50 turned out to be the best sunscreen I’ve ever tried.

I rarely pay special attention to citrus ingredients in skincare, but sometimes they’re simply impossible to ignore. That’s exactly what happened with Banila Co Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Brightening Mandarin-C, enriched with mandarin extract and designed to boost skin radiance.

You’ve probably seen d’Alba everywhere — that chic, minimalist Korean brand adored by influencers. I finally decided to try it myself but went for something different — not skincare, but their Skin Fit Grinding Serum Cover Pact. And sadly, it turned out to be a total disappointment.
