At The Amazing Blog, we love skin care brands with high ethics and philosophies, especially if these beliefs are founded in hard-hitting scientific facts; this is exactly what you get with the Swiss skincare brand Karin Herzog. After ten years of meticulous research, Dr Paul Herzog, Nobel Honoree, discovered the family’s secret formula for their miracle skin care products. With all this history and science behind the brand we were more than just a little excited to test out some of their products, and they very kindly sent us a sample of their smoothing face cream called EE Express Effect .

Inspired by the anti-sceptic and hydrating properties of oxygen, the Herzog brand developed a unique formula used in all their products that stabilises active oxygen into the cream. The EE Express Effect Cream removes tiredness and gives skin an instant boost of radiance. The use of both rose and orange water with essential oils, work together to leave skin looking instantly smoothed and visibly calm. We found that the product left our skin looking enviously radiant. This was due to the mix of ingredients in the product that work to even out the skin’s tone and texture. The kaolin mattifies the skin while the hyaluronic acid plumps it, leaving skin glowing and youthful. What’s more this amazing little cream helped to de-stress our skin. The Arnica Montana in the cream reduces signs of stress on the skin, while the sodium bicarbonate purifies the appearance of the skin.

With all this, you’d think it would be near impossible to like the brand and their marvellous products any more than you already do. Well, you would be wrong as they have remarkably high and strong ethics which help govern how they operate. As an independent brand they value the importance of quality ingredients, they are paraben free, vegan-friendly, dairy free, gluten free and cruelty-free. Meaning this brand is for everyone, and can be used by anyone. The products are gentle on skin and still provide visible and lasting effects.

If this sounds like the brand for you, then you can purchase your very own EE Express Effect Karin Herzog Face Cream here for £79.

Everyone suffers from an uneven skin tone at one point or another, it's completely inevitable, but that doesn't mean that it can't knock your confidence.

The Correct & Conceal uses yellow-toned pigments to cover facial redness seamlessly. The product is thin but packed with pigment, making it untraceable and leaving you with an even finish. The benefits of this product are seemingly endless, with promises to conceal thread veins, disguise flushing, tone down sunburn and neutralise high colour.The product comes in an array of shades, from Very Light through to Deep Tan. The diversity in this range is one of the reasons that the product is so perfect, and we love that if you are unsure of which colour will suit your skin tone best, you can purchase a discovery pack with three potential shades. What’s more, their products are free from parabens, sulphates, fragrance, propylene glycol and animal-derived raw ingredients.
