A WATERSTONES BEST HISTORY BOOK OF 2023'A masterful portrait of one of the world's greatest cities... A must-read' PETER FRANKOPAN'Such a delightful read' KATJA HOYER, The Times'Berlin may well be Europe's most enigmatic city and John Kampfner is the ideal guide.' JONATHAN FREEDLAND, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Escape Artist'Gripping' Financial TimesNo other city has had so many lives, survived so many disasters and has reinvented itself so many times. No other city is like Berlin.

Ever since John Kampfner was a young journalist in Communist East Berlin, he hasn't been able to get the city out of his mind. It is a place tortured by its past, obsessed with memories, a place where traumas are unleashed and the traumatised have gathered.

Over the past four years Kampfner has walked the length and breadth of Berlin, delving into the archives, and talking to historians and writers, architects and archaeologists. He clambers onto a fallen statue of Lenin; he rummages in boxes of early Medieval bones; he learns about the cabaret star so outrageous she was thrown out of the city.

Berlin has been a military barracks, industrial powerhouse, centre of learning, hotbed of decadence - and the laboratory for the worst experiment in horror known to man. Now a city of refuge, it is home to 180 nationalities, and more than a quarter of the population has a migrant background. Berlin never stands still. It is never satisfied. But it is now the irresistible capital to which the world is gravitating.

In Search of Berlin is an 800-year story, a dialogue between past and present; it is a new way of looking at this turbulent and beguiling city on its never-ending journey of reinvention.

Good for oily skin/not overly drying!
Love this!! My skin actually feels a lot less oily during the day and it doesn’t dry my skin out either. The smell is a tiny bit weird but it doesn’t really bother me and it dissipates quickly after applying.

Not for me
This in combination with the aloe-ph balancing face wash was not a good fit for my skin. It had me break out with cystic acne. I went back to Hydro Boost and it cleared up in a week. But that’s for my skin. Also, I didn’t care for the consistency of the product.

A game-changer for oily and combo skin!
Okay, I did not expect to love this toner as much as I do but wow, it completely changed my skin game! The jelly texture feels super luxe and refreshing, and it instantly calms my skin while keeping oil under control all day. My pores look smoother, my skin feels hydrated but not greasy, and it gives that fresh, healthy glow we all want. I’ve been using it morning and night and my complexion has never looked more even. If you have combo or oily skin, this one’s a total gem.
