Everything you need
When I’m breaking out, this is what I grab. It actually clears up my skin without making it red or angry. A must-have for sensitive, acne-prone skin.
Salicylic Acid Acne + Pore Cleanser
When my skin feels dry or irritated, this is my comfort cleanser. It’s creamy, soothing, and just makes my face feel calm and soft.
CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser (12 fl. oz.)
This stuff melts makeup like magic. Even mascara comes off so easily and my skin never feels stripped or irritated. It’s gentle but still leaves my face squeaky clean.
holy hydration makeup melting-cleansing balm
I reach for this on days when my skin feels oily. It gives me that clean, fresh feeling but doesn’t make my skin tight or red. Such a solid everyday cleanser.
CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser (12 fl. oz.)
I use this mask whenever my skin feels super clogged. It makes my face feel fresh without that burning sensation I usually get with clay masks. My pores actually look smaller after, which I love.
Rare Earth Deep Pore Minimizing Cleansing Clay Mask
Long-lasting hydration ❤ OK, so this one caught my eye because I often struggle to find a moisturizer that actually nourishes without making my skin flare up. This does both — hooray!
Ultra Facial Cream with Squalane
This was my first retinol and honestly, I was scared to try it because my skin is so sensitive. But it’s really gentle. My skin feels smoother and more even without irritation.
Retinol 0.5% in Squalane

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Poremizing Ampoule
Great makeup primer: plump and hydrate the under-eye area to ensure makeup doesn’t sink into any wrinkles or fine lines.
Holy Hydration! Illuminating Eye Cream
Pure Retinol is an effective anti-aging skincare ingredient that helps the skin to create and bring more fresh, new cells to the skin surface.
Micro-Dose Anti-Aging Retinol Serum with Ceramides and Peptide
This one is super rich and creamy. It feels like a little hug for my under eyes. Definitely worth it if you deal with dryness or dark circles.
Avocado Eye Cream
So gentle and lightweight. It gives me the hydration I need without feeling greasy, and it never irritates my eyes. I use it every night before bed.
CeraVe Eye Repair Cream (0.5 oz.)
Finally an SPF that doesn’t feel greasy or heavy. It sinks right in, doesn’t break me out, and works perfectly under makeup. If you’ve got sensitive skin, this one’s a safe bet.
CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion SPF30 1.7 oz
I wake up and my skin looks calm, hydrated, and way less blotchy. Like, hello I actually slept 8 hours skin, even when I didn’t. It’s basically a chill pill for my face.
What I love most is that it doesn’t feel heavy or sticky — no gross pillow resid...
Cicapair Tiger Grass Sleepair Intensive Mask - Dr. Jart+
The texture is that dreamy gel-cream that feels cool and refreshing the second it hits your skin. As a sensitive-skin girly, I’m always worried about overnight products being too heavy or clogging, but this one is light, hydrating, and super gentle.
