The Top 3: Serums Under $100 With Cult Status

Dermal Clinician Yads on Stubborn Melasma

New  & Noteworthy at Adore Beauty

Hannah "Resets" Nick's Skincare Routine

We’re talking all things glow this week on Uncensored, from cult-status serums under $100 to the surprise return of permanent hair straightening. (Seriously, where is the Melbourne version of that GC/Sydney salon? Hannah needs answers.)

Producer Jas is back with the latest and greatest from Adore HQ, including a $14 freckle pen that fakes summer skin in seconds, Laneige’s new donut-shaped lip serum, and a foundation brush she’s borderline evangelical about.

Plus, a listener calls in about their stubborn melasma, and we get expert advice from our go-to skin queen, Dermal Clinician Yads, on what actually works long-term.

Oh, and in breaking news: Hannah’s partner Nick has fallen off the skincare wagon. But don’t worry, she’s devised a system involving strong visual cues. You’ll want to take notes.

Medik8 C-Tetra Lipid Vitamin C Antioxidant Serum 30ml

Beauty IQ Uncensored

This week on Beauty IQ Uncensored, we’re serving up summer skin energy—no sun required. From glow-boosting serums under $100 to a $14 freckle pen that fakes a beach day in seconds, we’re talking all things radiance. Producer Jas is back with what’s new and noteworthy at Adore, including a viral donut-shaped lip serum and a foundation brush that’s turning heads.  We also tackle your top skin concern: melasma. One listener calls in, and we phone dermal clinician Yads to break down what actually works (and what doesn’t) for long-term results. Plus, Hannah reveals how she’s getting her partner back on the skincare train—with visual cues and a touch of strategic product placement.
