The following text might look like an Amazon ad at first. But it’s not. It is, however, a text about amazon.ae finds and deals because since moving to the UAE this platform has become my market for skincare shopping.
I’m curious, I love exploring and discovering new stories, brands, ingredients, and products, I love testing, and I look forward to seeing results. I’m excited about the transformation that comes with all of this, and I love giving feedback. Updating and upgrading my beauty routine makes me very happy. Skincare shopping makes me happier.
Skincare Shopping List
I recently purchased these three items from amazon.ae after carefully researching these brands. I am looking forward to using them and seeing their benefits:
✅ Nourkrin Hair Growth Food supplement (tablets)
✅ OCuSOFT Lid Scrub Original eyelid cleanser
✅ Elta MD Facial Sunscreen, SPF46
Nourkrin Hair Growth
At the end of August, I had The Nue Growth Phase on my shopping list because my Forcapil Anti-Hair Loss tablets were coming to an end, and since I have been taking Forcapil for the past 18 months, I decided to make a change. A visit to a local pharmacy changed my skincare shopping list. The pharmacists were organizing the food supplements Sale Stand, and of course, I looked to see what they have for hair loss, so I ended up reading the ingredient list on a box of Nourkrin Hair Growth. I went home and directly investigated the brand and the product, and found myself skincare shopping on amazon.ae for it. It came from the USA, with no order issues, and on time. I bought the 3-month supply.
I wrote about how much I love Forcapil Anti-Hair Loss tablets and why and that I have been pausing this treatment, from time to time, to give other brands a chance to keep my hair healthy and strong and on my head.
🍀❤️ Hair supplements are very important to me.
The only ingredient that showed me efficiency was Horsetail extract or Horsetail Powder, or on other ingredient lists, Silica.
Horsetail extract has been renowned for centuries for its hair-strengthening properties. It contains Silica, a mineral essential for developing healthy hair, skin, and nails, promoting collagen production, and is crucial for maintaining hair’s strength and elasticity. It also helps to improve scalp blood circulation, ensuring hair follicles receive essential nutrients for growth.
The reason I chose Nourkrin over The Nue for the subsequent six-month hair treatment was its high dose of Horsetail Extract and better price.
💪🏼Two tablets of Nourkrin contain 60mg of Silica. This is my daily serving size. And this is the highest amount I ever had (and found) of Silica in a day. It costs 101 USD, or around 370 AED, and will cover me for three months.
Compared to my usual Forcapil, which costs 300 AED, an offer of 2+1 months from amazon.ae, but with less active ingredient, Horsetail aerial part powder, 45mg in 1 tablet/ day.
The daily dose of The Nue Growth Phase is three tablets, and all 3 tablets contain 32mg of Horsetail aerial part extract (Silica); the price for a 1-month dose is 65 USD or around 240 AED.
OCuSOFT Lid Scrub Original Eyelid Cleanser
I found this eyelid cleanser on a forum while Google-ing for a solution to better clean my eyes. The sandy winds and high humidity in the Emirates, as well as being exposed to AC almost 24/ 7, had taken a toll on my eyes, causing discomfort, dryness, and sometimes even redness and irritation.
Also, have you ever found yourself perplexed by those stubborn white bumps lurking beneath your eyes? I certainly did. Like many of us, I turned to the all-knowing Google for answers. Of course, a few hours later, I placed an order on amazon.ae for two boxes of 30 individually wrapped pads, and here I am today, writing about eyelid pads.
I started using the pads roughly two weeks ago, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Ocusoft Lid Scrub Original pads do not have a specific smell, which is a boon for those who prefer unscented skincare products. It is a comfortable experience in my evening skincare routine without overpowering fragrances. The pads are gentle, easy to apply, and did not irritate so far. It’s as soft as a caress on my eyelids.
Elta MD Facial Sunscreen, SPF 46
Another day, another sunscreen brand. It’s not to replace my favorite Supergoop stick but to test this brand, which I have seen everywhere on Instagram and TikTok tutorials and in some celebrities’ skincare routines.
Since I had to order my Supergoop stick again, I added the Elta MD also to the Amazon cart.
I took the version designed for prone to acne skin type, of course, and I will provide a review after wearing it for a few days.
Life as an expat in the UAE is full of love and surprises!
