My Faves
The ones that I like and use the most.
EXFOLIATING. This one is really good! It smooths and hydrates your skin without irritating it. It's great for refining your skin's texture over time. I'm always amazed that for an exfoliant it's really hydrating! I use it twice a week in the evening.
Lactic Acid 5% + HA
HYDRATING. I absolutely love this oil! It's so lightweight but provides incredible hydration without any greasy residue. I love using it right after a water-based serum or as a final step in my routine. My skin just drinks it up, especially during wi...
100% Plant-Derived Squalane
BRIGHTENING. I love this serum! It brightens your skin while calming it at the same time. It also minimizes pores and controls excess oil. It's a simple formula but so good!
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
Hydrating
For soft, plump, and hydrated skin ✨
Brightens and nourishes the skin. Key ingredient: 100% organic rosehip seed oil. A few drops go a long way to keep your skin looking healthy! This oil is a bit heavier, so if you're looking for something lighter, I recommend the squalane oil.
100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil
Super lightweight serum that locks in hydration and gives a nice glow!✨ Key ingredients: marine bacteria, red algae, and amino acids.
Marine Hyaluronics
Locks in hydration for bouncy, dewy skin! Key ingredients: hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and B5. Apply to damp skin or after toner for the best results!
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides)
Cleanses your skin while keeping it soft and moisturized, it’s not stripping at all! Key ingredient: squalane. If you’re not wearing heavy makeup, this cleanser is a great gentle option.
Squalane Cleanser
Exfoliating
Gentle exfoliating treatments 🌿
A gentle exfoliator that leaves the skin smooth and hydrated every time. Key ingredients: yeast ferment and squalane. If you’ve got sensitive skin, fermented ingredients might be your best friend to strengthen the skin barrier 💪🏻
Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner
Evens out skin tone and texture with zero irritation. Key ingredients: mandelic acid and hyaluronic acid. If other exfoliants are too harsh, this one’s really gentle!
Mandelic Acid 10% + HA
Supporting
When your skin barrier just needs extra love and care 🫶🏻
A great moisturizer! Key ingredients: amino acids, fatty acids, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid.
Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA
This one works wonders to calm redness and repair the skin barrier quickly. Key ingredients: vitamin B12, bisabolol, ceramides, niacinamide, and Centella Asiatica. It really helps when my skin feels irritated!
Soothing & Barrier Support Serum
Brightening
Brightening while the redness and irritation under control 🌱
Soothes redness and evens out skin tone gently. Key ingredient: azelaic acid. If you’ve got rosacea like me, this could be your best friend, though it works better mixed into your moisturizer!
Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%
Reduces irritation and redness while keeping skin hydrated and glowing. Key ingredient: fermented rosehip seed oil. Fermented ingredients have been so good for my sensitive skin! Really recommend it for you to try out!
100% Fermented Rose Hip Seed Oil

Retinol 0.2% in Squalane
Helps smooth fine lines and even out your skin tone while hydrating. Key ingredients: retinol and squalane. This one’s perfect if you’re looking for a retinol that won’t leave your skin feeling dry!
