Minkology 101 & Skincare.

Minkology 101 & Skincare puts moisturizers under a long lens, tracking how formulas perform over sustained daily use rather than first impressions. Their reviews cover a tight, single-category focus, which means each take tends to go further into real-world staying power than a general-channel review would.

I am using the Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream and it is amazing. This is one of the best moisturizers on the market at this point, to be completely honest with you. I am in love with this moisturizer. It is everything. I highly recommend this for morning use, night use. It really moisturizes the skin and, like I said, it is everything. I cannot stress that enough.

"I really like that it does give a whole dewy feel. It feels so nice, like it feels moisturized but refreshed at the same time. The packaging is nice too."

Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
"This is really for the body, it's supposed to help tighten and absorb. It may have a nice consistency. If it's light, it's really light. I feel like I may have wanted it to be a bit creamier, but it feels good."

Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer
"It is really light. It doesn't make me feel like I wash my face for nothing. When you wash your face and then you use a moisturizer, it just feels like you just put everything back on your face. It feels nothing like that. It is very light. I'm impressed for real. I am really impressed because I am very picky when it comes to products in my skin. This stuff is amazing. It is great. This has my face feeling refreshed like with the moist, just with the cleanser and the moisturizer itself. My face really really feels refreshed. I am a bit taken back to be honest. It's good. I like it."

Cicaplast Hand Cream
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Hand Cream
"It is light. So far I like how I feel. I could see me using this every day. I like it. If I had to rate it so far off my first initial use I'm going to give it an eight. You can feel that instant that they're talking about so they're not tricking you, they didn't trick me, it was instant. So I like it. I like it. I put this on my recommendation list."
