I Tested The Best Korean Skincare Brands Against My Fragile, Sensitive Skin. These Are the Ones That Worked
Who is it best for: This brand is great for those with sensitive skin, like me. I haven't had any reaction to the products that I have tested, and according to my extensive research online in K-beauty forums, this resonates with many others with sensitive skin. Since the brand has so many products to offer, this might be a good brand to try for newcomers.
Who should not get it: Those with acne-prone or extremely oily skin may be a bit wary of some of the oil-based products, especially products that contain coconut oil. It may clog pores or irritate the skin.

Is NAD+ Skincare the Secret to Aging Backwards?
Considering NAD+ can help boost collagen production and optimize skin health, function, and appearance, it may be a little surprising that the ingredient is only just starting to get top billing in topical products. But there's a reason for this—NAD+ skincare needs to be developed carefully to work. 'Topical NAD+ has limited utility because the molecule is large and unstable, making skin penetration challenging,' says Dr. Reszko. While you may still see localized benefits from cosmetic formulas that contain NAD+, the most effective NAD+ skin-care products tend to contain NAD+ precursors, or ingredients that your body can turn into the buzzy active. One of the most effective NAD+ precursors happens to be one of the most popular ingredients used in skincare today: niacinamide. Others include nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and sunflower sprout extract, the latter of which can be found in Timebeam Moisture Melt Serum Balm and Parëva COLL20 Gel Cream Moisturizer. 'A 2022 study found that sunflower sprout extract increased cellular ATP production and protected DNA from damage by UV rays, likely by increasing an enzyme that happens to help cells recycle NAD+,' explains Dr. Kahn.

Amazon shoppers say this $31 beauty product is a 'great preventative measure against aging skin' — my 62-year-old mom agrees
My mom and I love both this anti-aging serum from Amazon — here's why we are obsessed. Looking for a skincare product that effectively targets signs of aging? Amazon Canada is a trove of anti-aging options. I don't know about you, but I'm always searching for something new to add to my skincare routine — and so is my mom (maybe that's where I get it from). And it doesn't always have to be shiny and expensive — there are lots of effective, affordable options on the market. Quick shop: Our latest obsession is the Triple Peptide Wrinkle Defence Serum from DHN. For less than $35, this product is totally worth adding to your Amazon cart. My mom had it first, and then I copied her (as daughters do), and we've been both collectively using it for more than a year now. We've gone over all the details, pros and cons for you below. Triple Peptide Wrinkle Defence Serum Review: Details, pros & cons This 3-in-1 serum is made with Argireline, Matrixyl and Replexium peptides. It's designed to help reduce and smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and claims to improve elasticity. What I appreciated most about this vegan product is that it's formulated without parabens, fragrances, sulphates and other harmful chemicals. My mom actually had this in her skincare arsenal before me, which is how I discovered it. She told me her friend had asked her what she'd been using on her skin and proceeded to rave about this product to her. Her friend then immediately purchased it for herself, which intrigued me. So, naturally, I hopped on the bandwagon. First things first, the under $30 price point is hard to beat with good skincare these days, so that was definitely a win off the bat. My mom has repurchased it a few times, so it's safe to say she's a big fan. I'm on my second bottle and am really loving it. Some things we collectively love about it include the texture and consistency: it's lightweight, not too thick and absorbs really well into the skin. Another pro is that it instantly rejuvenates and tightens the skin, which feels great first thing in the morning. And the citrus scent makes it feel nice and refreshing (and not too overpowering). Lastly, the dropper is a great applicator, in our opinion. It allows you to control the amount you want to use, and it's mess-free. As for the negatives, one annoying thing that we've noticed is that it leaves your face feeling pretty sticky after applying it. It definitely tightens the skin (which is a pro), but that's not a fun feeling throughout the day. No worries, though, because this is easily solved when applying a moisturizer on top as your next step — which you should be doing anyway. What others are saying ⭐️ 4.3/5 stars 💬 380+ ratings 🏆 "The serum feels very lightweight on the skin and leaves your skin glowing." Shoppers seem to agree with my mom and me when it comes to this product (for the most part). One person pointed out that it's "made in Canada," which is something we Canadians can be proud of. They also said it "gives off a cool and refreshing feeling," which is pretty on point. Another shopper says it "feels very lightweight on the skin" and also "leaves your skin glowing." They also noted that it's "super easy to apply." One almost 50-year-old writes that it "gives nice results to mature skin" and that it's a great "preventative measure for aging skin." For an "extra refreshing experience," one user said they "chill the bottle in the fridge for 5 minutes before use," which is a great tip that I'll be trying next time. While people seem to love this product, one customer said that "although it feels nice to apply," they "haven't noticed any difference" in their skin. However, everyone's skin is different, which is important to keep in mind. The verdict This affordable Amazon peptide serum has definitely earned a permanent spot in both my and my mom's anti-aging skincare regimen. It's refreshing, rejuvenating and totally low-maintenance. It's an extra step that we don't even have to think twice about, and it delivers noticeable results. However, remember to follow up with your daily moisturizer to avoid any feelings of stickiness or tight skin throughout the day and night. And remember: everyone's skin will react differently, but at $31, it's worth trying for yourself.
