TOP 10 ⭐️
These are my top 10 skincare products I loved using in 2024 and highly recommend!
Hands down the BEST surprise of 2024, and that for under $11! Lightweight yet deeply hydrating, it works wonders for sensitive and rosacea-prone skin without feeling greasy. After using it, my skin feels plump, hydrated, and looks so much healthier. ...
1️⃣ 100% Plant-Derived Squalane
I’m obsessed with how this essence leaves my skin looking fresh, dewy and heathy. It’s perfect as a toner or as a final step for that extra layer of hydration in winter. If you’re dealing with dryness or irritation, this is a must-try.
2️⃣ Mary&May Vegan Blackberry Cream Essence
My ULTIMATE salvation for rosacea flare-ups! I use it as a thick night mask when my skin is red and irritated. The zinc helps calm my skin and reduces redness by morning. It's a must-have for anyone dealing with skin barrier issues. A big yes!
3️⃣ Avène Cicalfate+ Protective Cream
This essence with ferments helps brighten, smooth, and firm your skin. You just need a few drops, but it gives you instantly a natural, healthy glow. After months of use, my skin looks smoother, and hyperpigmentation has visibly reduced.
4️⃣ Numbuzin No.3 Softening Serum
Also an amazing discovery from a new upcoming brand! You only need a tiny amount to cover your face, and it feels so smooth, hydrating, and leaves your skin with a lovely healthy glow! The texture is milky and nourishing.
5️⃣ Viegano Rejuvenating Serum with Bakuchiol
It's such a basic serum but I really like this a lot because it exfoliates while still being so moisturizing! I only use this one or two times a week at night (no actives or other harsh products afterwards) and my skin looks great! TIP: I always mix ...
6️⃣ The ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA
Best for dark circles! This eye cream is so good to treat dark circles. It really brightens up my under-eye area and keeps it hydrated. I’ve tried many, but this one stands out.
I cannot recommend this enough! This moisturizer is thick, rich, and packed with antioxidants like blackberry extract and ceramides, but it never feels greasy. It gives your skin an instant glow and long-lasting hydration. Try it!
8️⃣ Mary&May Idebenone + Blackberry Complex Intensive Total Care Cream
A fantastic brightening serum that doesn’t irritate. It’s affordable, effective, and a favorite for smoothing and evening out my skin tone without any irritation. I always come back to it!
9️⃣ The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
This is the best sunscreen I’ve ever tried. It leaves no white cast and feels more like a moisturizer with its hydrating, dewy finish. It’s perfect for reapplying throughout the day!
🔟 SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Sun Serum Lightweight SPF50+

2️⃣ Mix 100% Squalane in Everything!
Here’s my pro tip: mix The Ordinary’s Lactic Acid 5% + HA with 100% Plant-Derived Squalane for an ultra-hydrating exfoliation. I use this combo 1-2 times a week, and it helps exfoliate while keeping my skin moisturized and irritation-free. It’s the p...
3️⃣ Mix Lactic Acid with Squalane!

These didn’t make the top 10, but they deserve a mention!
While not an instant fix, consistent use of this LED mask has really improved my skin’s texture and redness. It’s a self-care treat and worth the investment if you want a non-invasive way to soothe rosacea.
