I've said it before and I'll say it again: I use this EVERYWHERE and it lasts me so long. Brightens, tones, and helps with scarring.
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toning Solution - The Ordinary
If I had one product to help with acne scars and dark marks, this would be it. And no, I'm not sponsored by The Ordinary (but I wish I was!)
The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%
My skin has always had problems finding a moisturizer that wouldn't clog up the tiny pores, typically on a large scale, I'm pretty good. But something about a tiny chin pimple I just can't shake until I started using this moisturizer.
Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA - The Ordinary
Again, not sponsored but wish I wash! They just make a good product if you're looking for something with a specific need!
Glucoside Gentle Foaming Cleanser for Oily Skin - The Ordinary
If you have only $10 to spend, I'm telling you to buy a sunscreen. I would rather you wash your face in water only and apply SPF than spending money on skincare and not finishing with SPF.
Mini Daily UV Defense Invisible Korean Sunscreen Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ PA++++ - innisfree |
$200
I love a gentle polishing effect. This cleanser doesn't strip away your barrier, but leaves you feeling so clean.
The Rice Wash Skin-Softening Cleanser - Tatcha
If I'm going for a toner that really can lock in the plumping effect, this is it. Now, to be fair, it does have some rose petal (I think maybe for that glam effect) “chunks” so if you're a texture person who doesn't go for that, you might want to try...
Rose & Hyaluronic Acid Deep Hydration Toner - fresh
Another great option that locks in that moisture that you need.
RESIST Advanced Replenishing Toner with Hyaluronic Acid - Paula's Choice
I used this under my makeup for the longest time, and I ran out and never restocked. But I feel like I haven't had that same glow recently… so maybe that's the universe telling me to restock.
Magic Water Cream Refillable Gel Moisturizer with Niacinamide - Charlotte Tilbury
I always use this under my makeup, or just simply use it AS my makeup. Protects my skin and gives it a glow.
DreamBeam Silicone-Free Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 with Ceramides and Peptides - Kosas
