Skin Care Products That Actually Worked For Me
23
items I had a lax period in my life where I did not take care of my skin at all. Now I’m working on fading the scars without breaking the bank and this list is how I made some progress.
I got this product because my cousin recommended it and I always have one in my home now. It is very soothing and helps relieve all kinds of skin issues. Very hydrating and the quantity is sooo generous!
99% Aloe Vera Gelly & Skin Moisturizer
I actually stumbled on this product via internet recommendations and the best part has to be that it leaves no residue and I can wear it under my make up without it messing up the glam.
NEW vs OLD: Kose Suncut UV Perfect Essence SPF50+ PA++++
If you have skin that is quick to scar, then you know why I don't play with this product. It fades scars really fast and the cost does not break the bank.

I have acne scars that have faded since I started using this product. It is affordable enough for me to keep it in my regimen without special budgeting. Would definitely recommend.

This is where it all began. My gateway into proper skin care. Sometimes it's out of stock or I'm trying out something new so I don't want to mix products but almost always, I keep it in rotation.

I was going on a trip and I needed results FAST! So, I splurged on this one a couple weeks before and crossed my fingers. One of my best decisions in this skin care journey for sure.

It's a lot of soaps that promise to get rid of acne and spots. This one smells good and again, no magic but there's a difference. It really leaves my skin feeling clean but not super dry.
