My first facial cleanser since I started working at the pharmacy. Although I don't use it anymore, I still get inquiries from my patients at least four times a day.

The gel I use regularly. Contains zinc PCA. A special form of zinc that does not dry out the skin and has an antimicrobial effect. The new version also contains the phylobioma molecule that regulates sebum secretion. Personally, I prefer it because i...

I use it for washing my oily scalp, but sometimes I would wash my face with it. Unfortinately I have seborrheic dermatitis caused by the fungus Malassezia furfur. Normally it lives on our skin, but on oily skin they begin to multiply causing red and ...

A very cheap product with a similar composition to La Roche Posay products. Which is no wonder since it is made by the same company. A big plus is that it's available in every drugstore. I use it most often at the end of the month when my paycheck ha...

My first niacinamide serum ever. I've used it for 2 years. In the evening, I would put it on the pimples and they would be dry by tomorrow. What a life saviour.

Although it is advertised as a hydrating cream, personally use it as a serum in small amounts. The snail extract repairs damaged skin, so I apply this product in a small amount on acne or dark spots. I also use it on my lips before applying Vaseline ...

It's not a classic peel. It's applied to acne or dark spots in the evening on dry, clean skin. It can be used for up to 2 weeks. It's good, it works, but I like that it's very sticky.
Bioderma Sébium Night Peel

A serum rich in glycolic, lactic, salicylic acid, and vitamin B3 that is good for acne that doesn't go away easily. It contains hyaluronic acid and ceramides, so it dries out my skin.

K-beauty is slowly becoming popular in Croatia. This serum is rich in Centella asiatica. A plant that is traditionally used in South Korea against inflammatory skin conditions. It has a light texture and is not sticky.

I use it more in the summer when I need something light and refreshing for the skin. It can also be used for sunburn. I take the 300 ml package because it is the most worthwhile.
Avène Thermal Spring Water

A classic cream with Centella asiatica (that's why it has cica extensions), copper and zinc that is non-greasy. I use it more for redness around the cheeks. The ingredients have an anti-inflammatory and healing effect. Sometimes I use it for my dry l...
