Boscia cactus water moisturizer review

A gel moisturizer that uses sodium hyaluronate + extracts from cactus flower and other plants to keep your skin hydrated and healthy.

Another day, another Boscia product. Today we’ll be focusing on Boscia Cactus Water Moisturizer, which is packaged in a beautiful green tub. According to Boscia, this product is vegan. All Boscia products are cruelty-free, non-comedogenic, free of chemical preservatives, and designed with sensitive skin in mind. I like the sound of all those things!

Boscia green tea blotting linens review

These sheets are great for keeping your T-zone in check—and they make a great gift for anyone in your life who has oily skin.

Clinique Pep-Start Hydrorush Moisturizer SPF 20 Sunscreen Review

The brightest (peppiest) option included in the kit was definitely Clinique Pep-Start Hydrorush Moisturizer SPF 20. It comes in a tiny, bright yellow squeeze tube, which makes it look like sunshine in a bottle.
