I like to keep my ear to the ground when it comes to skin treatments so that I can identify and share any with you that I think will be of interest. I’ve been hearing about Polynucleotide treatments for a while now, and have received a few questions from readers who wondered if it would be an appropriate or useful treatment for rosacea.
For those who don’t know, I spent most of May in Japan. It was my third trip and Aaron’s fifth and we are already trying to work out when we can go back. Obviously we love the food, the culture, the people, the architecture, but for me, another highlight is the beauty shopping. I’m planning a few posts about the exciting things I got while I was there, but today’s post is about my holiday skincare and make up: the products I took, the ones I used up, and the products I bought and put on my face immediately.
Those of you who follow me on Instagram will know that I changed up my Dermatica personalised formula towards the end of last year. I had been using the Dermatica rosacea treatment for over a year and wanted to spice things up a little so – after consulting the Dermatica Dermatology Team – we introduced Vitamin A (AKA retinoid) into my monthly treatment. I’ve been using the new treatment for 3 months so here’s my full review.
Don’t forget that I have an exclusive discount code for you, so if you’re keen to try Dermatica for yourself, you can find the details at the end of the post.

When I first started this blog, I used to try out new skincare all the time. Those of you who have been here a while will remember that I used to do monthly Skincare Shake Ups, where I would switch up my whole routine at the start of each month. I did this partly because I flipping love skincare and am always on the hunt for the newest thing that might transform my skin, but partly I did it so that I could better give advice to more people. I get a lot of questions asking for affordable options, some want luxury treats, others want vegan options, or at least cruelty-free options, or products available in specific countries, things from independent brands, things available online… the list is endless and I wanted to try to find things that worked for any or all of you. Sadly, as we all know, sensitive skin – and particularly rosacea – thrives on routine. My skin has never been happier since I stopped switching skincare so often, relying on my tried and true products that I know won’t let me down.
Because of this, I tend to turn down most new product launches unless they’re offering something new, exciting, or different. Which brings me to today’s blog post: a SVR Sensifine skincare range review.
Every few months the Escentual French Pharmacy sale rolls around and I get panicked messages from people spoiled for choice. But do not fear, I’ve put together an updated list of my favourite French skincare bits in case you wanted to grab a bargain (up to 1/3 off all French Pharmacy products so it’s worth stocking up!) and to also serve as a reference point in the future. French skincare has long been my go-to, so here’s a list of what I would recommend for anyone, but especially those with rosacea or sensitive skin.
