Best Lip Balms Review
Lip balms are the unsung heroes of our beauty arsenal, providing a quick fix for dry, chapped lips while adding a touch of indulgence to our daily routines. These pocket-sized wonders offer more than just hydration; they’re a soothing escape in a tube. Whether you prefer the subtle sheen of a tinted balm or the […]
Best SPF Review
Sunscreen is not just a summertime essential; it’s a year-round necessity for maintaining healthy skin. SPF, or Sun Protection Factor, plays a pivotal role in shielding our skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Whether it’s sunny or overcast, UV rays can penetrate the atmosphere and cause damage that accumulates over time, leading […]
Instant Pick-Me-Up
Feeling a bit blah? Sometimes, you just need a little beauty pick-me-up to feel a little better. Maybe tinting your lashes and brows does the trick. Perhaps using an exfoliator followed by a sheet mask. There are so many things us girls in The Skin Care Clinic use to make ourselves feel good, whether it’s […]
Medik8 Product Review
One of our most popular brands is being reviewed today, and it’s Medik8! We love all their products, and this week, we have each selected our favourite to tell you about. But first, I want to tell you why I decided to stock Medik8 in the clinic… Firstly, Medik8 is known for its high-quality skincare […]
Societe Product Review

They go the extra mile to ensure their ingredients are quality and cold-pressed to preserve their potency.

Body Care Product Review
Using a moisturiser on your body offers a multitude of benefits for your skin. Firstly, it provides essential hydration, replenishing moisture and maintaining the skin’s elasticity and smoothness. Secondly, it helps to strengthen the skin’s natural barrier, protecting it from environmental stressors and preventing moisture loss. Additionally, moisturisers nourish the skin with beneficial ingredients, promoting […]
Best Skincare for Dry Skin Reviewed
Dry skin on your face is common for many people, especially during the winter months. Cold temperatures, low humidity, and indoor heating can all contribute to dryness and tightness in the skin, making it look dull and lifeless. When trying to find skincare for dry skin, there are several options available. One option is to […]
Skincare Kits We Love
Skincare kits are such a great way to get all your essentials without spending too much money. Perhaps you want to try out a new brand but aren’t entirely sure which products to get. Then a kit is a great introduction to the brand! Also great to have for when you travel, to leave at […]
Best Eye Cream Review
Using an eye cream is a great way of upping your skin care routine and getting even better results. But with so many to choose from, you can often give up, not really knowing which one is the right one for you. We all love a good eye cream here at The Skin Care Clinic […]
Vitamin C Skincare Review
Vitamin C! Quite possibly the greatest of all vitamins in skincare. Why? Well, it brightens, repairs, protects and even outs the skin tone and texture, as well as stimulating collagen, making it great for fine lines and wrinkles. So if you’re not using a vitamin C serum, why not??!! Read this week’s vitamin C skincare review […]
PCA Skin Product Review
Formulating products that improve the health of your skin is a cornerstone of PCAskin. We’ve recently added their whole range to our website (we’ve had a few of our favourites available for years) so it’s high time we had a PCAskin product review. Their products are created to work together in customised regimens that deliver […]
Exfoliators Product Review
Exfoliation is an essential part of any skincare routine. By removing dead skin build-up, your skin will look and feel smoother, healthier and more even textured and is less likely to suffer from congestion, acne and enlarged pores. Weekly exfoliation is recommended, and depending on your skin, there is an exfoliator right for you. Sensitive […]
Vitamin A Product Review – Antiaging Skincare
Vitamin A (or retinol/retinal) is one of the greatest skin care vitamins for fighting signs of premature ageing, such as fine lines and wrinkles, loss of elasticity and skin tone and texture. It achieves this by speeding up cellular turnover, meaning that you are making newer cells faster, leaving you with clearer, brighter, healthier-looking skin. […]
Internal Health Product Review
More recently, the direct link between gut health and skin conditions has become more widely known. This is great news as skin concerns like acne, rosacea and eczema can be treated with more success. This is precisely why we stock a range of supplements that complement your skin care and make you feel a lot […]
Pamper Products Reviewed
Are you ready for Christmas yet? It’s either a calm ‘of course’ – or a chaotic ‘heavens no!!!’ While we can’t take the last-minute stress of Christmas from your shoulders, we can prompt-you to take a moment for yourself. Whichever head space you’re in, there’s one thing your body will thank you for… and that’s […]
Gift Ideas Review

Brightening Product Review
The way we’ve lived our life so far leaves a trail on our skin… a pigmentation artwork so to speak, each unique. UV exposure, hormonal changes, acne and scarring occur over time, and we’re left with the after-effects. What’s actually happening is changes to the melanin in our skin. Guess what though, scientists have found […]
Vitamin C Product Reviews
We’re so grateful for vitamin C, because the discovery of this little yet powerful gem makes a HUGE difference to your skin. It improves the way your skin deals with UV, and improves past mis-demeanours. What’s not to love! The only downfall? We have HEAPS of vitamin C options… with this in mind, we’ve created […]
Sun Protection Product Review
Yay for more sunshine! Guess what, if you’re not into your SPF, now’s the time to refresh and apply it anyway. While we recommend using sun protection ALL year round, we often hear that people only use it when they absolutely HAVE to. Memories of thick, greasy white paste, that causes everything to stick to […]
One Thing I Can’t Be Without!
Don’t you just hate it when your ‘essential’ product is out and you don’t have any more yet?! Noooooo!!! Well, that is exactly what this review is all about. What are those products that “make us want to cry” when we have to go a few days – or more – without… what do you […]
SkinCeuticals Product Review

Its founding scientist actually discovered the critical role of vitamin C in collagen biology and the role of topical antioxidants for reducing sun damage. Those of you who follow our clinic, know how passionate we are about vitamin C! Founded […]
Makeup Review
Makeup has existed since at least as far back as Egyptian times, as has the use of skincare. In truth, the two go hand-in-hand. Skincare is used to improve your skin’s function, texture and appearance – whereas makeup enhances it. While it’s okay to say this, in truth you want your makeup to provide more […]
Toner and Mist Product Review
Have you ever wondered if you should be adding in a toner and mist into your skincare routine? What’s the added benefit and which one should you be looking at? Gone are the days when you are supposed to cleanse, tone and moisturise as a general rule. With your old trusty toner being a strong […]

Winter Skin Product Review
Experiencing dehydrated skin is uncomfortable at best, and painful at worst – and often often gets more noticeable during the colder seasons. While adding something extra to heal your cracked and dry skin can bring great relief, it’s a much better idea to plan ahead and add the extra moisture in BEFORE you have the […]
Vitamin B – Niacinamide Product Review
You will have often heard us recommend Vitamin B – or Niacinamide. You will find it in many of your cosmeceutical skincare products and it should be in your daily skincare routine. With so many products available, which do we use ourselves? Check out our Niacinamide product review to see which products we use and […]
Makeup Products Reviewed
While we specialise and love our skincare products, we stock a range of makeup to compliment differing skin types. This is because using makeup that contains pore blocking ingredients can counteract all the good work you put into having healthy skin. Check out the makeup products reviewed to see what we use and enjoy ourselves. […]
At Home Treatment Product Review
We love to have a treatment here in the clinic (who wouldn’t?!), but we realise not everyone is able to have a monthly personalised session with a skin therapist. You would think working in our clinic we’d all be pampered like princesses. Realistically we’re all so busy that often it can be months in-between sessions. […]
Vitamin A – Retinol Product Review
As we age our body slows down, we may not like it – but it’s normal. While some forms of ageing we need to accept, there is actually quite a lot we can do for our skin. We know that our skin cell turnover reduces as we age, and science has been using Retinoids to […]

Best Acne Treatment Products Reviewed
No matter what kind of acne you suffer, we can help you choose the right products. A common misconception of acne is that you need to strip your skin of all its oil. Sometimes the opposite is true.

Splurge Product Review
There is nothing quite like the feeling of grabbing a bargain.

The old saying ‘you get what you pay for’ often rings true […]
Kissed Earth Product Review
Over the summer break our NEW Kissed Earth range of supplements arrived, yay!

Colorescience Review – Our Favourites!
From sunlight, to pollution, to free radicals, ColoreScience is going way beyond UV. They’re obsessively overprotective about preventing skin damage. And that’s exactly why we love them!

When we add a mask to our clients faces in-clinic we have a wide range of “additions” we can use to make it personalised to your skins needs. What do we do at home though? While it’d be great to think we’d each get a facial during the week, we’re normally too busy. Thus, we’re […]

Dermalist Review – Our Favourites!
Although relatively new to our range, Dermalist have been creating and perfecting their formulations since 2011 and launched their range for sale in Australia in 2019. Having moved overseas, I’m no longer surrounded by products to try, and have found after using Dermalist I really don’t have the urge to! Check out my honest Dermalist […]
Things That Hydrate Review – Our Favourites!
Coming into Winter, it is not unusual to have dehydrated skin. When the humidity in the air drops, the water in your skin evaporates faster, leaving you with the feeling of dry skin.

Oily Skin Care Review – Our Favourites!
This week we’re giving you our real life, honest oily skin care review. I think we can all agree that oily skin is not fun.

Moisturiser Review – Our Favourites!
Do you have a favourite moisturiser? It’s often the product that we stay faithful to the most. What happens when it no longer feels quite right?

Vitamin C Review – Our Favourites!
Enjoying the sun? We love the Sun here in Australia, but let’s face it, it’s harsh. With one of highest rates of Melanoma’s in the world, we also need to be careful. For many of us the damage is already showing, starting as a tan or freckles and slowly ageing our skin. Did you know there’s […]

We are absolutely loving it, but what is it???
We’re reaching the hardest part of Winter… close to the end, but not quite! It’s likely all our Vitamin D levels are lower.

Cleansers Product Reviews
Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of cleansing! We’re now in the midst of Winter, and this often means your skin is dryer.
