Skincare Decoded: Revised and Expanded: The Practical Guide to Beautiful Skin

by Victoria Fu

This book was born from many nights of rereading all our old posts, researching, cringing at our evolving writing style, rewriting, drawing new sketches, brainstorming better ways to present difficult skin-science concepts, and just generally questioning our life choices.

the skincare industry is a hot, hot mess! Toners, serums, essences . . . ampoules, creams, gel creams . . . lotions, masks—what does it all really mean?!

This is a super-broad category of products: serums, essences, creams, ampoules, and gel creams are all designed to keep your skin moist and plump.

Some products that work great for most people can still trigger sensitivity and irritation for some.

Regular priced cleansers with normal ingredients will do the job just fine.
