Morning Routine☀️
All steps are in chronological order!
I use this cleanser every single morning because it is so gentle and non-drying. It's so good, doesn't have a strong fragrance and won't break you out!
SoonJung pH 6.5 Whip Cleanser 150ml - Etude House
A great toner which I have had for over 6 months now. Very soothing and very affordable 🥰
Full Fit Propolis Synergy Toner - COSRX - Ulta Beauty
Mung bean essence provides antioxidant protection, soothes inflammation, moisturizes, brightens skin tone, nourishes, and detoxifies for clearer, healthier skin. This product is a great essence option and is very soothing🥰
mixsoon Mung Bean Seed Essence 3.38 fl oz / 100ml
Use this right after the mung bean essence and your skin will glow like never before🥰
Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence - COSRX - Ulta Beauty
Fix your damaged skin barrier and moisturise with this rn!!!
SoonJung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream - Soko Glam
Gotta use spf if you actually want to get rid of acne scars. Locks in your entire routine perfectly 🥰
belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50
Nighttime Routine🌙
All steps are in chronological order!
Holy grail cleansing oil for sure! So soothing, takes all the dirt off perfectly, and is so gentle and soothing! 10/10🥰
SKIN 1004 - Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil | YesStyle
Love this cleanser so much and I usually switch to this one at night since it has salicylic acid in it which is so good for the skin!!! But you can just use the same one!🥰
Renewing SA (Salicylic Acid) Cleanser | Face Wash - CeraVe
One of my recent purchases and I am so happy with it. Doesn't break me out, so gentle, and fragrance is so unnoticeable! Love it sm🥰
Madagascar Centella Toning Toner | Skin Care - SKIN1004
This is one of the most important steps here. I only use it at night since my skin is very very sensitive. This is the main product that really helped with the scarring. Saw results in less than two weeks which is insane🥰
Anua 10% Niacinamide + 4% Tranexamic Serum
Use this after toner only twice a week to not damage your skin! It is recommended by so many dermatologists and I love the ingredients in it and don't see any problematic ones🥰
SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant - Paula's Choice
This is a HUGE part of this routine. Can be used twice a day but I prefer to use it at night right before moisurising. Recommended by dermatologists and it changed my life🥰
The INKEY List Azelaic Acid 10% for Redness Relief
One of my favorite retinols that I use daily. If you are new to retinol you can start by using it every other day so your skin gets used to it. This is not a harsh retinol and a great product for beginners🥰
SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Serum - 1.01Oz, 30ml
I love to lock in all the products with this Cerave moisturiser. It is the best for my sahara dry skin and I just like switching my morning moisturiser with this one at night since this one is a bit more intense and leaves my skin feeling moisturised...
Deep Hydration Moisturizing Cream - CeraVe
Other Cheaper Options🥰
A really affordable cleansing oil that my skin loves!!! Disclaimer, you may experience a breakout at first but gets better real quick (I have the pink one)🥰
Kose - Softymo Cleansing Oil - YesStyle
This cleanser is also really good and affordable! Cleanses without leaving your skin dry!
Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser - La Roche-Posay
Can use this instead of the SOME BY MI one if you feel like Cerave products are a bit more gentle for your skin 🥰
Cerave Retinol Serum
A cheaper alternative for the Paula's choice exfoliant. Both are great and this one is very affordable. Don't leave it on for over 10 minutes and use it twice a week🥰
AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution | The Ordinary
A more budget friendly option for Azelaic acid that also doesn't break me out🥰
The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%
I love COSRX products and this is one of my absolute favourites🥰
3.52 oz Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream - COSRX - Ulta Beauty
One of the best glycolic acid products that is very affordable!
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner | The Ordinary
The perfect spf on a budget!
Holy Hydration! Face Cream - SPF 30 | e.l.f. Cosmetics
