Kanvas Reviews

I'm counting on this nifty herbal ingredient to do what the research suggests it does: calm hormonal acne

Mugwort sounds like magic. Apart from a name that belongs in Harry Potter, it’s meant to offer hormonal balancing effects, making it great for managing hormonal acne. This natural herb won’t irritate sensitive skin, and boasts anti-ageing qualities as well! Naturally I had to try an ingredient that literally feels like it was made for me. I opted for Korean brand I’m From, given they’re well known for their mugwort line. Their Mugwort Cream contains a huge 73.55% concentration, to deliver to your skin all the benefits mugwort has to offer.

Black Girl Sunscreen was the product that made me look forward to wearing SPF

This is the only Black Girl Sunscreen review you need to read! Kanvas Beauty was the first retailer to bring this baddie to Australia and New Zealand - we knew it was a beauty game changer. Clean, reef-safe, nourishing and TOTALLY invisible, there's a lot to love about Black Girl Sunscreen. It's the first one I've tried that's actually enhanced my appearance, making it the cherry on top of an awesome skincare routine.

Does Beauty of Joseon’s Glow Serum really make you glow?

When I broke out in acne and got a horrible sun burn on my face, I turned to the Glow Serum from Beauty of Joseon.

Bingo. That’s exactly what I needed.

Our review of Jumiso’s All Day Brightening and Balancing Serum 

A good vitamin C serum is an integral part of my skincare routine. Stuck with oily, rosacea-prone, sensitive skin that is occasionally susceptible to hormonal acne (oh, the joys), using vitamin C has helped fade acne scars, counteract redness, and, if it’s a really good serum, make me glow like a mermaid highlighter. Does Jumiso's All Day Brightening and Balancing Serum stack up? Read on to find out.

Preventing Eczema with SVR Topialyse

My review of the Topialyse skincare range from SVR Laboratories, which is formulated to treat extremely dry and atopic skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis.

Read my review of A313, and our guide on how to use this potent little tube of pharmaceutical-grade French retinol. When Kanvas Beauty first started stocking A313 (formerly known as Avibon), I was EXCITED, because it's famous for producing results. Fine lines and texture improve, while pores magically appear smaller. But there's a few tricks to using this thick, goopy, oily paste on sensitive skin.
