398. Jayde From Driven By Beauty on Reading Skincare Labels & What Actually Works

from Beauty IQ Uncensored · host Adore Beauty

On this week’s episode of Uncensored, Hannah and Mel take on the skincare showdown confusing the internet: La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+ vs Avène Cicalfate Restorative Protective Cream. Mel breaks down when to use each, who they’re actually for, and why they’re not as interchangeable as TikTok might have you believe. If you’ve got sensitive, reactive, or barrier-compromised skin, this one’s essential listening. Hannah and Mel also share their personal skin barrier heroes, aka the products they reach for when their skin is one step away from a full meltdown. Then it’s time for some fangirling, because Jayde from Driven By Beauty joins the pod for a no-nonsense guide to reading skincare ingredient lists. She also weighs in on dupe culture – are cheaper alternatives ever truly the same, or are we being sold a very convincing story? And finally, Hannah and Mel put you onto two under-the-radar eye treatments they’ve both been loving from Cosmedix. If your under-eyes are tired, crepey, or just not cooperating, these might be worth adding to cart.
