Skincare Decoded

German, Victoria Fu, Gloria Lu, 2022

Product details

Do we really need a 10-step skincare routine for our face? Does the cream that costs 100 euros deliver on its promises? And what exactly are retinoids? Victoria Fu and Gloria Lu, trained chemists with extensive experience in product development at L'Oréal, shed light on the jungle of ingredients and demystify the promises of the cosmetics industry.

The authors explain in a clear and casual manner how skincare products work and why four basics are essential for healthy and naturally beautiful skin: cleansing, moisturizing, UV protection, and treating problem areas. Each active ingredient is described in detail yet in an easily understandable way, along with recommendations for which skin type it is suitable for. With this uniquely comprehensive guide, every woman – and every man – can find the products that truly match their skin and budget.
