400. The Lesser-Known Skincare Products That Should Be Famous
This week on Uncensored, Mel has fallen deep into an Instagram rabbit hole and the viral anonymous confession account @gabetrew she’s found makes Cringey Convo look positively wholesome, and naturally, Hannah is horrified and fascinated. Then, dermal clinician and TikTok skin educator Maddy O’Brien (@mads.skin) joins the pod to share the skincare products she genuinely believes deserve way more hype.

399. PSA: If You’re Not Using a Toner, You’re Missing Out
This week on Expert, Tegan is jetting off to Italy for a beauty training program, but before she leaves, Mel shares her best tips for vintage shopping in Italy! Then it’s time for a divisive round of Win, Bin or Recycle: veneers. Are they the ultimate confidence-boosting dental upgrade, or are we heading toward a future where everyone has the same ultra-bright 'Barbie teeth'? Mel and Tegan unpack the veneer boom, what makes good veneers look natural, and when cosmetic dentistry can go very wrong. Plus, Tegan is making a very passionate case for bringing toner back into your skincare routine. Forget the harsh, stinging formulas of the early 2000s! Today’s toners can hydrate, calm, exfoliate and support your skin barrier.

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

Then, in Cringey Convo, Mel and Hannah tackle pillow hygiene. How often should you replace your pillow? What actually builds up inside over time? And how could it be impacting your skin, allergies, and breakouts? If you’ve been holding onto your pillow for dear life, consider this your sign to retire it. We’re also joined by leading Sydney cosmetic doctor, Dr Phoebe Jones from Beauty By Doctor Cosmetic Clinic, to explain the increasingly popular 'brow lift Botox'.

395. How to Wear Makeup With Acne or Eczema With Madeleine Edwards
Mel and Hannah are back with another jam-packed episode of Adore Beauty Uncensored, covering hair treatments, sensitive-skin makeup tricks and a fresh SPF moisturiser worth taking a second look at. Mel kicks things off with her experience trying Kerasilk’s in-salon keratin smoothing treatment, and let’s just say, it’s a far cry from the hectic, stinky formulas she remembers from her teen years. She shares what the modern treatment is like, how her hair felt afterwards, and whether the results are worth the salon chair time. Later, Madeleine Edwards joins the show to share her expert advice on how to wear makeup when you have acne or eczema. She explains how to apply makeup without aggravating breakouts or irritation, the techniques she uses when her skin is inflamed, and the products she personally relies on. Plus, Hannah's been road-testing the new Clinique moisturiser with SPF 50+ coverage, and she’s a big fan. But does it play nicely under makeup? Is it lightweight enough for daily wear? She’s got the answers. Thank you to Madeleine Edwards for joining us!Everything mentioned: Kerasilk Smoothing Shampoo Kerasilk Smoothing Conditioner The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Filler 2.5 Percent Hyaluronic Acid Serum L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Filler Micro-Epidermic Plumping Water Cream Huda Beauty Easy Blur Primer Maybelline New York Grippy Serum It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream Anastasia Magic Touch Concealer <a href="https://www.adorebeauty.com.au/p/it-cosmetics/it-cosme
