Cleansers
Start off your skincare routine with these
Good for sensitive skin and double cleansing. Should not use alone when cleansing. On dry hands, put a pump or two, then massage onto dry face for 2-5 mins. Afterwards, rinse with warm water then use a water based cleanser to finish.
Anua - Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil
Would recommend using with the “power calm hydrating cleanser” by Peach & Lily. Good for double cleansing and should not be used alone when cleansing
Peach & Lily - Ginger Melt Oil Cleanser
Definitely my favorite cleanser. It's gentle and hydrating. Would highly recommend using after a cleansing oil (preferably the one by Peach & Lily), but can also be used alone.
Peach & Lily - Power Calm Hydrating Gel Cleanser
Toners
After cleansing, use one of these
This toner lasts a long time, and works well. Brightens up my dark spots from acne and hydrates my skin too. Overall gentle and a good way to start your skincare routine
SOQU - Moisturizing and Brightening Rice Toner
The cool thing about these ampoule pads is that you can use it as either a toner pad (wipe/pat face with it) or like a serum/treatment pad (keep on face for like 15-20 mins then take off like a sheet mask). Either way, you get that hydration you need...
Mediheal - Collagen Ampoule Pad
This toner helped soooo much with my flaky, dry skin. They also have this at Ulta (or atleast at my local Ulta).
I'm from - Rice Toner Sensitive Skin Glow
Acne Treatments
After toner, pick these (except for pimple patches, use those last or first after cleansing)
This is what I use to calm the redness from my acne or rosacea. Helps it to heal and it doesn't damage my skin.
Mediheal - Madecassoside Blemish Pad
Literally what pimple patches are made of. Covers a wider area, and you can cut to the size that you need. Cheaper than pimple patches and you get wayyyy more product.
LIFARA - Hydrocolloid Roll for Wound Care
If you get really red and inflamed acne, this has ibuprofen in it which can help bring down that redness and inflammation. I’m someone who can’t use ice, so instead I use this
Lion - Pair Acne Cream
Serums/Essence
After acne treatments, choose these
It says intensive and it absolutely is. However, it’s super gentle and hydrating for the skin. It helped balance out my skin health and in the end it was hydrated and I wasn’t breaking out as often. Also repaired my skin barrier.
Skin 1004 - Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule
Genuinely so hydrating (and slightly and gently exfoliates too). Takes a little bit to absorb (like 5-10 min), but so worth it
mixsoon - Bean Essence 50ml
Brightens and moisturizes. What more could you want? My go to for brightening up acne scars or just to tone up my skin.
SOQU Moisturizing Facial Rice Serum
Moisturizers
After your serums and essences, pick this
This is what I use when my skin is dry, irritated, peeling, cracking, all of it. If I've been picking at my acne (Yes, I know I shouldn't. You can't stop me), this is what I use to heal my skin. I will legitimately stop using all my skin care and jus...
Aquaphor - Healing Ointment
Acne friendly brand and tbh the only thing I've actually liked and re-bought from them. Moisturizes pretty well and doesn't make my acne mad or have new stuff pop up
Curology - Cream Moisturizer
Non-comedogenic, so wont clog pores and give you more acne. Helps to moisturize, heal scars, and heal stretch marks. Don't need a lot. A little goes a long way.
Bio-Oil - Skincare Oil for Scars and Stretch Marks
Masks
For your nightime routine
I’m not gonna lie, this is perfect for if you wanna sleep in and skip morning skincare. Works all night and you wake up with hydrated and glowing skin. All you need to do is add sunscreen and makeup (makeup optional), and you’re all set for the day.
Medicube - Collagen Night Wrapping Mask
Super simple and quick to use. Slap it on your face, leave it on for five minutes, then boom. Moisturized face. The curve in the pad makes it super nice to put under the eyes and right on your cheek/cheekbone.
Torriden - DIVE IN Multi Pad
I recommend the collagen, milk, and snail ones from here. They’re all amazing and hydrating though. Doesn’t irritate my skin either which is nice.
Esfolio Pure Skin Essence Facial Mask Sheet
Sun Care
Wrap up your morning skincare routine with these
Trust me when I say this is the best sunscreen you’ll ever use. No white-cast, reef safe, absorbs quickly, and leaves a beautiful glow on your face.
Skin 1004 - Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ PA++++
This is what I use for my body after I get a sunburn. Turns it into a tan, skips the peeling phase and soothes the burn.
Maui Babe - After Browning Lotion
This is the best aloe vera gel/cream that money can buy. It’s so soothing and hydrating. Great for a sunburn or even irritated, red skin
The Face Shop - Jeju Aloe Ice Refreshing Soothing Gel
