This copper peptide serum is a staple in my routine. It has made a huge difference in the quality of my (40+) skin. It helps with fine lines, elasticity and firmness of the skin.
Multi-Peptide + Copper Peptides 1% Serum | The Ordinary
I've tried so many eye creams and I always come back to this one. It's super hydrating without feeling heavy, and most importantly it doesn't sting the sensitive and delicate skin around my eyes like a lot of eye creams do.
Squalane + Marine Algae Eye Cream - Biossance
This is a fave moisturizer for the warmer months. It is surprisingly rich and hydrating for an oil-free "gel cream." I love that it deeply nourishes and hydrates without clogging pores or causing breakouts. It's really the best of both worlds! It con...
Meltdown Gel-Cream for Acne-Prone Skin | Blume
I really enjoy this moisturizer during the colder months. It's a bit richer, but not thick or greasy. It's very hydrating and has a lovely glowy finish. It contains THD ascorbate, a very stable, effective and non-irritating form of vitamin c to brigh...
Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Moisturizer - Biossance
I love to use skincare oils before bed, to lock in moisture and treat my skin. This one is a fave, as it's deeply hydrating and brightening. It features squalane, an ingredient my skin just loves, and THD ascorbate, a stable, effective and gentle for...
Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil - Biossance
I use this face oil at night to lock in moisture and treat my skin, and occasionally in the morning when I need a little extra nourishing. This is similar to the biossance rose oil, so I tend to alternate between them depending on which one I can get...
Sunday Riley C.E.O Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil
This night oil offers the anti-aging benefits of retinol in a nourishing oil formula. The addition of blue tansy and chamomile soothes the skin to combat the irritating and drying effects that often come with retinols. I love this formula for my sens...
Sunday Riley – Luna Sleeping Retinoid Night Oil
Finding a sunscreen that was non-greasy, non-irritating and didn't leave a white cast seemed impossible until I tried this. It has the texture of a primer and disappears completely on the skin. This is one of the only sunscreens I've tried that doesn...
Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 PA+++ - Supergoop!

I use adapalene gel to address both acne and signs of aging (it's a high strength retinoid). I like that it's stronger than retinol, but not as irritating as prescription tretinoin. This is also very affordable and available over the counter. For my ...
PanOxyl Adapalene Gel USP, 0.1%, Acne Treatment
I use adapalene gel to address both acne and signs of aging (it's a high strength retinoid). I like that it's stronger than retinol but not as irritating as prescription tretinoin. It's also very affordable and available over the counter. For my fell...
Differin Adapalene Gel 0.1 % Acne Treatment
This a fantastic moisturizer for the winter when your skin is at its driest. It's rich and deeply nourishing, with squalane and ceramides to protect the skin barrier. Despite its rich texture, it doesn't cause breakouts.
Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream
This serum offers lightweight hydration, soothes irritation and protects the skin barrier with ceramides. I like to use this before applying retinoids to create a buffer that prevents irritation and dryness. It's also affordable, and made from clean ...
Ceramide Barrier Serum | cocokind
This is my fave lip balm for daytime use. It has a nice smooth texture that is not sticky. It hydrates the lips really well and lasts a good amount of time. It has a very faint sugary scent that's not overwhelming at all. I have a hard time finding l...
Sugar Advanced Therapy Treatment Lip Balm | Fresh
I love this lip treatment for nighttime. It's rich and thick with a salve consistency, so it lasts all night, and keeps my lips hydrated and soft.
Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Rescue Ointment - Fresh
These tinted lip balms from Fresh are a great way to add a pop of colour to a no-makeup look. They’re hydrating and soothing and give a sheer tint of colour, that’s buildable if you want a more saturated hue. So many colours to choose from! Rosé is a...
Sugar Rosé Tinted Lip Balm - Fresh
This natural rosewater facial toner is so soothing and hydrating. It helps to balance the skin’s pH, refreshes and hydrates. And it smells like heaven! No fragrance added, just the completely natural scent of rosewater. Amazing for sensitive skin, an...

A great affordable and effective everyday moisturizer. It’s thick and creamy, so it’s perfect for colder weather, but it doesn’t leave you greasy or shiny. Perfect for all skin types!
