Skincare Realness at 39

Welcome to my skincare diary!

I’m here to give you honest reviews, ingredient deep dives, and anti-aging hacks that support your skin barrier and keep your radiant glow intact. We'll nerd out over serums, creams, and acids, laugh at the fails, and celebrate the wins—because great skincare is about being informed and feeling good in your skin.

I'm Brian, and I'm 39 with a skin type that insists on serving up both fine lines and cystic acne breakouts—truly the best of both worlds 🙃. Think of this blog as my skincare test kitchen.
