    Launched My Company Skincare by Vincent. Use Code PEAT2022 for a 10% Discount.

    Some time ago I made a thread about skincare. I launched my skincare company recently. I did this because there are so many skincare products out there with unneccesary and potentially toxic ingredients. That's why I decided to make products that are clean, simple yet effective. One of the hard...

    How much are you willing to you spend on skincare?

    I wanted to do a little survey on how much people are willing to spend on skincare. Typically bottles start at 30ml, so I take that as an example. The questions is simple: how much are you willing to spend on a skincare product monthly (assuming 30ml lasts approximately a month).

    Waterbased Skincare Ingredient Selection

    For those who don't know I am formulating skincare since many products on the market contain ingredients that are unneccesary.

    Measuring Vitamin & Mineral Content via Skin?

    So, about 10 years ago when I still regularly visited doctors, this one time at my then-GP, a nutritionist which I believe worked for Twinlab was giving this free mineral & vitamin content analysis.
