Brand Review: Danish Skincare

I'm a skincare addict, so I love testing/using new products, but sometimes it's challenging to write a good review when using a bunch of different products from different brands. The company I'm going to review today sent a whole line of their products, so after using their complete skincare routine I can finally give a good review.

Danish Skincare (link) is a brand from Denmark offering products that are free of unnecessary, harmful and irritant ingredients, free of fragrance and free of colors. Each item is sold separately, but they can also be purchased as mini or regular sized sets. The company makes it easy as the only choice one needs to make is pick normal-to-oily or normal-to-dry products. Danish Skincare offers a simple and easy 3 step skincare routine, which I'll describe below. Since this line doesn't have face serum and eye cream (facial moisturizer can be used for eye area) I incorporated a few additional products (morning toner, eye cream, face serum) into this skincare routine, but for the sake of this review I did test the products by themselves as well.

Step 1 (day and night): Danish Skincare offers Clean Skin Face Wash* (link) that is suitable for all skin types. It is gentle enough to be used twice a day. While it's mild enough to be used in the morning, it's tough enough to be used for evening routine and removes makeup well. This face wash has gel consistency, washes face clean without drying it out and it doesn't irritate skin/eyes. 

Step 2 (day and/or night): Smooth Skin Treatment* (link) is all-in-one product to replace facial masks, scrubs and other exfoliating treatments. It is BHA based, so it helps fighting/avoiding pimples, blackheads, acne, etc. This product is in liquid form, but not completely watery as it has some "body" in it. This treatment is used like toner: apply on cotton pad and wipe on your face. It is very gentle on the skin and didn't irritate my sensitive skin. It's good for all skin types and can be used once or twice a day. I only used it in the evenings. 

Step 3 (day): For daytime Danish Skincare offers Perfect Skin Day Protector* (link). This moisturizer has SPF15 protecting both from UVA and UVB rays. While this cream looks pretty solid, it's really soft and applies to the skin easily and  absorbs quickly. Very little is needed for application, so when overused it would leave some residue on my skin that wouldn't sink in completely and leave my skin a bit shiny. 

Step 3 (night): For nighttime routine I used Perfect Skin Moisturizer* (link). It's a lightweight moisturizer that is thinner in texture than the daytime one. A little goes a long way, so this bottle will last for a while. This cream applies smoothly and absorbs quickly to the skin. However, it made my skin, especially T-zone, very shiny. My skin is normal (towards combo in colder months and  towards dryer in winter months) and I've never had problems with oiliness. It was less shiny if I skipped Smooth Skin Treatment and used the cream alone, but in both case I was oily. It didn't really bother me much as it was during my evening routine. Besides, my skin looked great in the morning and that was a good result for me.
