I use it every morning before makeup on my face and neck. It's lightweight, smells night and leaves no white cast! Doesn't clog my pores or break me out like most sunscreens do.

I cannot emphasize more how life-changing it was to start using Retin-A. All my skin texture and acne problems went away after using it for every 3 days. Use a light layer over the problem areas, allow your skin to purge for the first 2 weeks, then w...

This serum is just wow, amazing. It's hydrating, brightens my complexion, soothes redness and is incredibly affordable! I use it in place of my Estee Lauder serum when I'm keeping on a lower budget. The ingredient list is pretty great too as it's pac...

For all my girlies with eczema or just dry, flaking skin (especially if you're using retinol), THIS is your lifesaver. No other moisturizer comes close to how effective this is for me. It's surprisingly lightweight too and doesn't leave an oily film.

These are products I don't use daily, but they're holy grails I add into my routine when my skin is going through a rough patch (dryness, flaking, eczema, acne, redness, etc.)

96 patches for $23 CAD is such a steal. Plus they work great! Popping pimples can cause scarring and hyperpigmentation, so I use these patches for pimples that have come to a head and need drainage. They also help to minimize the swelling.

On days that I want to treat myself and relax, or if my skin is needing the extra hydration, I'll use these facemasks. It's a good amount for your buck and comes in a compact container.
