My most favorite face washers
my skin has gone from oily, acne-prone chaos to “surprise! now you’re dry and post-menopausal” and somehow this cleanser handles ALL of it beautifully.
Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam
This pore-cleansing foam is a game-changer for sensitive skin.
This is a wonderful product. I thought it would require more than a pea size shape but seriously, I could use half a pea size to cleanse my whole face and neck.
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam 4.23oz
SCLn face wash is highly effective! In just a few short days I noticed the size of my cyst pimple decreased significantly in size.

I really really love this cleanser more than any I’ve tried so far (and I’ve tried many!). The packaging, the way it works and feels, the price, - everything is super great! I’ve been using it for quite some time now.
JUNO & Co. Clean 10 Cleansing Balm 85g
This cleanser removes makeup, sunscreen, and daily grime well — even mascara. After rinsing, my skin feels fresh but never tight or stripped.
DIME Beauty Gentle Jelly Cleanser 4oz
I find this face cleanser effective, particularly for acne, and appreciate that it cleanses without stripping the skin.
Marini Bioglycolic Face Cleanser 6 fl oz
This cream comes in a frosted glass container with a clean, polished presentation. The texture is a somewhat dense, smooth cream that spreads easily and has a controlled, slightly cushioned glide.
Symmetria Silk Face Cream 1.7 oz - Peptides & Shea Butter
My no.1 after wash face creams
I use this for an overnight face care... It's like a hug to my face. Wake up having a fresh complexion! Rightly so!
Must have for dryness: If you have very oily skin, it might feel a bit too rich for daytime use. In any case, it’s better to use it only at night.
SKIN1004 Probio Cica Enrich Cream 50ml
It smells nice, not overpowering or perfumey. Holy hydration night cream has a creamy, gel-like texture; it's lightweight and absorbs well. I even wear it during the day!

My go-to Toners
Your skin is naturally slightly acidic, but many tap waters and traditional cleansers are alkaline. This shift can disrupt your skin barrier. A good toner instantly corrects this, steering your skin back to its ideal pH sweet spot.
BOBBI BROWN COSMETICS | Hydrating Face Toner
Even the most thorough face washes can leave behind microscopic traces of stubborn makeup, oil, or heavy mineral deposits from your shower water. This toner acts as a safety net, clearing away whatever your cleanser missed.
DR. JART+ | Teatreement Toner For Oily Skin
Think of your skin like a dry kitchen sponge. If you drop thick dish soap onto a bone-dry sponge, it just sits on top. But if the sponge is slightly damp, it drinks the soap right up. This toner dampens the skin, allowing your serums and moisturizers...
DANUCERA | D22 Tonic Exfoliating Face Toner 30ml
When dirt and oil build up, pores stretch out and look larger. By sweeping away those impurities and temporary tightening the skin's surface, a toner helps your pores look visibly smaller and smoother.
COLOURPOP | Face Toner
Unlike old-school, alcohol-heavy formulas that dried out the skin, modern toners like this one are loaded with humectants (water-binding ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin) that plump up tired skin cells immediately.
ULTA | The Clean Sweep Face Toner
If your toner contains gentle chemical exfoliants (like salicylic or glycolic acid), it actively clears away dead skin cells. This keeps hair follicles clear, drastically reducing the chances of getting painful ingrown hairs or razor bumps.
CULT51 | Upcircle Face Toner With Mandarin And Chamomile
Many formulas like this one, are packed with antioxidants and vitamins that reinforce your skin's natural moisture barrier, helping to protect your face from daily pollutants and smog.
L’ORÉAL PARIS | Revitalift Filler Hyaluronic Acid Face Toner
If your face wash leaves your skin feeling a little tight, warm, or flushed, this Ila-spa toner infused with botanical anti-inflammatories (like centella, aloe, or green tea) cools down redness and irritation on contact.
ILA-SPA | Gold Cellular Age-Restore Face Toner 100ml
Toner is a highly customizable step. Depending on the bottle you choose, it can double as a brightening treatment (with Vitamin C or Niacinamide) or an oil-control mechanism (with tea tree or zinc).
COS BAR | Darker Skin Tones Face Cream
Beyond the clinical science, it just feels great. A quick swipe from this acts as an invigorating morning wake-up call or a relaxing ritual to close out your day.
