Men's Skincare Guide

This skincare guide is simple, clear, and very helpful. As a man, I finally understood how to take care of my skin without confusion. It helped me build an easy routine and I already see real improvements. Highly recommended for anyone starting skincare.

Easy to read and finish in one night & easy to followSimple guide to follow, I would recommend anyone starting off with natural remedies to read this book

This book guides you in what oils and recipes work best for your dosha. I can't wait to try them out!

I love this book! A true eye opener about all the 'smoke and mirrors' of the cosmetics industry. I had so many aha moments reading the book (e.g. realising that my C serum was doing all the heavy lifting of my routine and not my 'exotic' snail cream), not to mention it helped me pick products to buy once the ones I have will finish. I even ended buying one for my mum as well. Best buy ever!

I am studying skincare and this book is an absolute must for anyone interested in understanding skin and skincare products. Also fab for anyone interested in knowing more about what is in our skincare products. What works, what doesn't. So easy to understand. Very well presented. I bought it on kindle and was so impressed i bought the hardback.

Thai books is super informative for beginners. And by the time you will finish reading it, you will fall in love with South Korean lifestyle 🫶

Good book

Very easy to read and very informative.I had been listening to the podcast and decided to give the book a try.They have a good sense of humor and the information is practical and helpful

I loved that this book is very informative but at the same time easy to read, not boring at all. It was very useful to understand some of the components of my skincare products and it helped me to simplified my routine and make it more targeted to my needs.

Good read very informative

Erklärt nicht nur, welche Skincare man wie nutzt, sondern beleuchtet auch leicht verständlich den chemischen Hintergrund. Ich finde es toll und greife immer wieder darauf zurück, wenn unklar ist, welcher Wirkstoff sich womit nicht verträgt.

Después de dar una pésima opinión a Amazon, compré el libro físico y me enamore de los gráficos y de información excelente libro.

It tells about what ingredients we should look for ...... instead of buying over-hyped products. Made me more conscious about skincare.

Un livre excellent qui nous apprend pleins de choses sur notre peau : je recommande !

I learned SO much with this book!! They made me understand scientific process and ingredients!This is my skincare bible! I buy products with more knowledge now and can know what will work for my skin type! Really a must have for any skincare influencers!!

I am too much satisfied to buy this book, very well written book. THanks to the author for their great work.

I loved the colorful charts and easy explanations. Finished it in a sitting. Frequently referenced. I’m a fan of the authors instagram account chemist.confessions too. Always great relevant information on skincare.

Éste libro está muy digerible para poder comprender el mundo de la cosmética desde la perspectiva de 2 químicas creadoras de productos. Lo recomiendo ampliamente para quienes quieren estar más informad@s a la hora de comprar tu rutina!Un 10!!!

The book essentially teaches cosmetic chemistry and how each cosmetic form is applied according to skin type.

Very good and well written. I definitely would recommend to other esthetician’s who want a practical handbook as a reference.

I am teaching myself about the complicated world of skincare ingredients, and this book is one of my primary sources of information. Information is easy to understand and thoroughly explained. I will be keeping it accessible as I continue my education!

What great information. I've been watching skincare videos on for awhile now. This helped me get back to basics and it is funny and informative. I love this book!

Wow! really make skincare easy to learn from chemists point of view. I work in cosmetic dermatology and this book is my bible now. I would recommend this book to consumers interested in skincare or anyone that works with clients/patients and their skin - Marisa Amechi RN CANS

The media could not be loaded.

I’m a licensed esthetician and this book is amazing to read and remember things. In school it’s hard to focus on just skincare when there’s so much of it to learn. This book is great for people who want to figure out their skin and routine and also great for people who do this stuff on the daily. I will definitely recommend this book again and again.

Going to esthetician school and this book taught me alot I love it !..

What a fantastic read! I love my skin and this is a great way to learn how to take better care of your own skin and look and feel your best!

I'm so impressed with the Skincare Decoded!Since being obsessed with skincare due to having really bad acne as a teenager it led me to learn everything I could and read many many books to improve my skin health and this is by far the most well-written book I ever read for skincare. If you're interested in taking care of your skin and understand how to make better buying decisions this is for you! This is a must-read!

I found this book to be pretty digestible for the average person and helpful in trying to understand skincare and actives. Helped me figure out what to look for when building my routine and what ingredients are evidence-backed.

Short of going to school for esthetics, it is challenging to find good information on what is truly needed for healthy skincare. This book provides just that with humor, BUT, if you buy the kindle version, as of July 2021, it presents two pages side by side making the print VERY small and difficult to read. Enhancing the size of the page bit by bit is time-consuming and frustrating. The formatting needs to be corrected so 1 page appears at a time.

I worked in the cosmetics industry for several years and yet I'm still in the dark about skincare and what's necessary and how it all actually works. In the same way someone in IT doesn't actually know much of anything about hacking, I never really learned enough about it to make informed decisions about my own skin. If I cared enough to become a full cosmetic chemist, I would be reading articles from Dermatology or Cosmetic Chemists journals. But I'm not reading those. Because as a typical millennial I am somewhat of a narcissist. I really don't care about everyone's skin — I only care about my own.This book is the stepping stone — a beginners manual to help define problem areas and then guide me to make the best decisions for me. And it will work that way for almost everyone. Think of it as a helping hand in applying the scientific method to creating the most beautiful you, but in an accessible way. Unfortunately, what this book won't tell you is which products to buy as quick fix solution. It is setting you up for success, but in order to truly succeed you need to do the work yourself to use this knowledge as an intro to skincare expert and figure out what works for you. I actually find that more respectful and authentic than if they were offering an easy solution that sounded too good to be true.It's educational. The education bit to teach me to play mad scientist with my moisturizer. Mixing and matching the amount of humectants, emollients, and occlusives for my personalized skincare needs is a throwback to the days when I played mad scientist with the lotions and soaps from my mom's cupboards and even flower petals from her garden to create my own concoction. But this time I don't feel like I'm mixing totally blind. I'm a slightly informed mad scientist.It's accessible. In addition to offering all this knowledge, it's accessible to everyday readers. The authors acknowledge the esoteric terms that the skincare industry couches all their claims in and then break it down for you with casual language. They define scientific terms in ways anyone can understand. And they even use modern references in their metaphors. It's a bible of skincare, but it's a modern bible which unveils the absurd and mysterious.It's persuasive. Perhaps the most important point — my routine has changed because of what I've read. I've been convinced to make actual changes to things that I've always known I should do but have been a bit to lazy to do super consistently (*ahem* like wash my face at least once per day and wear sunscreen whenever I'm outside). It did have a real impact on my life.I even feel that if if I pick it up in a few years, I will be able to get more out of it. I will learn even more and re-adjust my routine to address my evolved skincare concerns, whether they're due to yet another move to another country, hormone shifts, or just getting older.
