an easy way to add hydration- these masks really make a difference to my skin when I feel it is dull and they come in two sections for the upper and lower half of the face so it fits really well

VERY GENTLE for my super sensitive skin- if I have an allergic reaction you would be able to tell and I usually break out with new products, BUT THIS,SO GOOD AND SOOTHING

ONE OF MY BASICS I CANT LIVE WITHOUT- I swear after switching to this, I've gotten less pimples and breakouts because its actually cleaning my sensitive skin properly without drying it out. A-MAZING

iUNIK - Propolis Vitamin Synergy Serum | YesStyle
Hyaluronic acid serum is a must for locking in moisture for dry skin. You definitely get bang for your buck because the bottle is so practical compared to the serum dropper bottles!
mixsoon - Glacier Water Hyaluronic Acid Serum
Anti-Aging/ preventative
GIRLLLL pores are smaller and I'm not kidding. I shared this with my mum because she wanted to try it and she said since using it everyone has complimented her skin saying it looks plump, clearer and pores are not noticeable. A MUST
Abib - Jericho Rose Bifida Serum Firming Drop
GAME CHANGER- gentle alternative to retinol for anti-aging benefits and plumps my skin soo much while giving me a glow. Bakuchiol is my new fav ingredient for gentle anti aging - best purchase ever for my VERY SENSITIVE SKIN TYPE my closed comodones also disappeared when i started using this and I know because this was the only new product i added to my routine at the time so yay!
EQQUALBERRY - Bakuchiol Plumping Serum
this eye cream has a stronger retinol (retinAl) = faster or stronger results too BUT if you have sensitive skin be careful for on the face use, this is too strong for me but i LOOOOOVE it for decreasing neck lines
Beauty of Joseon Retinal Revive Eye Serum
Sensitive Skin Type
soo moisturising and i just use it as a moisturiser bc who needs to have a sleeping mask separate from moisturiser tbh
Buy Laneige Cica Sleeping Mask

WOW. I was gifted this serum (no review expected), but I loved it so much I asked for a second bottle—and now I’m hooked because my skin is so even in colour!!!
