Microneedling in a bottle! 100 is gentle enough for daily use - does prickle a little like minor pins and needles on the face. Haven't noticed a difference with fine lines so far but have noticed smoother, glowier skin! Waiting for the 300 shot to ar...

I love trying different sunscreens but I always go through at least one tube of this every year. So lightweight and the only spf I feel actually works over makeup when I reapply without messing it up!

My current favorite day time moisturizer! I thought it was to be way thicker and creamier from all the descriptions but it’s almost gel like - much lighter and less oilier than I expected. I was worried it wasn’t going to be moisturizing enough but i...
345 Relief Cream - Post acne Cream - DR.ALTHEA

My favorite lip balm!! Been using it since its original days in that terrible messy metal packaging 😂 it’s thick without being super sticky or slippery so it stays put and keeps the lips really well hydrated! The mint green one is my favorite but I ...

I love most of the I’m from rice line - it’s soothing and super moisturizing! My skin always looks glowing and I usually get compliments when I use the cream and toner! I’ve repurchased them so many times over the last decade and tbh haven’t heard ma...

I generally don’t have sensitive skin but when my eczema flares literally everything stings even water BUT NOT THIS! I saw a lot of reviews saying people didn’t like it cause it just felt like water and didn’t do anything for them and I kinda felt th...

I’ve been double cleansing for over 15 years and this is still my favorite that I’ve tried so far! I’m obsessed with the scent, although they do have an unscented version for sensitive skin. It’s a really nice balm that’s easy to scoop and melts down...

I love this sunscreen I think I’ve gone through 4 bottles in the past 2-3 years. It’s great for any time of the year on my combination skin! It’s a lotion texture that sinks in so nicely and leaves a semi dewy very natural finish on the skin! I can l...
Centella – SKIN1004

I legit had a panic attack when they stopped selling this brand at Sephora 😭 it’s my favorite acid mask hands down I’ve repurchased it at least 4 times over the past 8 years. It’s a gel formula that’s slightly textured, easy to apply and wash off (I...

LOVE this! If you’ve heard of rejuran or the salmon sperm facial, that’s PDRN. VT cosmetics is the company that makes the viral reedle shot (microneedling in a bottle) and they also make this vegan ginseng-based PDRN serum. (This is a fraction of the...

An old favorite - I’ve gone through at least 7 bottles of this throughout the 2010s. My skin was a lot oilier but dehydrated then and very acne prone. This helped so much and it feels really nice because it’s a drier oil that’s still very light and s...

Repeat purchase! I remember using this around 2019 ish and at first didn’t think much of it. I thought it was a little hard to rub in at first - it’s an almost mousse like cream so it doesn’t sink in unless you rub it in BUT I noticed that every morn...

Have this sent on a subscription! Using it for 7-10 days clears my keratosis pilaris and then 1-2X/week is enough to maintain smooth skin. Consistency is key with this product!!

My favorite hand sanitizer to date and I’ve tried a thousand! Most of them feel pretty much the same to me but the scent - specifically the tata peach scent is too die for! Asians just know how to do peach scent right and this is the epitome of that....

Bergamot & Hinoki is hands down the best scent imo! I use the stronger version for deodorant and it smells so good - none of my own body odor comes through. Trusted enough to use for solidcore classes! It’s a really lovely fresh, slightly warm sc...
SALT & STONE – High-Performance Natural Skincare

I love that these have minis for travel! It’s a natural deodorant but I do feel like I sweat a little less with this. The texture is on the drier side so it keeps me slightly drier! Also a little goes a long way and my odor does not break through! I’...

Ok so I don’t really use tone up creams I think those things are nuts and never look good (sorry to those obsessed with them). I bought this without realizing it was tone up but I do love it! They texture is really really nice - smoothing, creamy but...

Been trying this out after I went through my last 3 bottles of the BHA lotion and I’ve been really enjoying it! The formula is creamier and less gel like than the BHA which has been nice on my skin in the drier months. It’s absorbs pretty easily and ...
