Promises: to eliminate imperfections and promote a quick disappearance of pimples. Vogue's word: in 2020, at the height of the pandemic, I was suddenly confronted with the appearance of a series of pimples - something that rarely happened to me until then, but an understandable "side effect" if you consider that, at the time, we spent over 90% of our time covered with masks, which did not let our skin breathe. It was then that, in desperation, I discovered this paste from Uriage, which looks like cement, and which quickly turned out to be a real miracle. Its use is simple and practical: with a clean complexion, apply locally at night and leave it to act; if the pimples do not disappear completely, repeat the process. The formula of this Hyséac, which combines the action of purifying schist extract with green clay (naturally absorbent) and zinc, is felt from the very first moment, and not only reduces redness (inherent to this problem) but soothes the skin. An essential to have on the bathroom shelf at all times.

Promises: to reduce blemishes, improve skin luminosity and effectively even out the complexion. Vogue's word: I never considered myself a fomo (fear of missing out) person but the giant boom in vitamin C products made me feel that something was missing. And indeed, it was! Briefly, vitamin C becomes important in our daily routine because it helps to reduce blemishes, increase luminosity, and skin firmness. After an in-depth analysis, and a good deal of procrastination, I decided to test the new Intensive Vitamin C2. As far as oxidation is concerned, the bottle is opaque and the vitamin C is only activated upon first use, which helps slow down this process and guarantees a (more) concentrated vitamin C formula from the very first use. After the first 14 days you can already see results, with a more even complexion, improved radiance, and reduced blemishes.

Promises: to decrease hair loss, increase hair growth, and improve the hair’s overall health. Vogue's word: there are many hair products, but few are the ones that can deliver on all their promises, especially when it comes to hair loss. When I was confronted with this problem late last year, I decided to try (after much research) the Hair Growth & Density Treatment, mainly because of the reviews/price ratio. The results are not immediate, that's a fact, but the most important thing is that they are highly visible. Just apply one pipette, at night, near the hair root, and massage until completely absorbed. It's as simple as that! For those who have lost hope in the fight against hair loss, this little miracle bottle is a light at the end of the tunnel. They say that luck takes work, but in this case it doesn't take work, it just takes (more) time. Did I mention that it is vegan and sustainable? Just one more detail to turn it into a must try, must have, and must keep product.

Promises: to remove makeup and all impurities, to leave a clean skin. Vogue's word: less than a year after I installed the app, the number of products that make up my (infamous) "TikTok made me buy it" list keeps growing - and shows no signs of stopping there. One of the latest acquisitions was this cleansing balm, whose reviews are so stellar that it never drops below 4.8 on a scale of five, whichever platform you look at. Would this be a true beauty hero? Yes, yes, yes. The Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm cleanses p-r-o-f-o-u-n-d-l-y the skin, leaving it soft and smooth, and that goes for when your face is loaded with makeup, too. How to use it? Easy. Apply to the face, massage with circular motions, and remove excess with a towel. A bonus: the spa-like scent. If you're thinking of trying a new beauty product this year, try this one.
