CeraVe Foaming Cleanser
This cream is thicc (in the best way) — rich, cushiony, and seriously hydrating. It’s packed with 92% snail mucin, which sounds a little wild, but it’s honestly a holy grail ingredient. It helps with hydration, skin repair, and that glowy, glass-skin...

Some by Mi 30 day Miracle Toner
Okay. Let me just say this spray changed everything for my skin!!!

It’s powered by hypochlorous acid, whic...

The Ordinary Rose Hip Seed Oil - 30ml New in Box
I started using the La Roche-Posay Vitamin C12 Serum when my skin was honestly going through it 😩 it felt so dull, patchy, and I was breaking out way more than usual. Plus, I had this constant redness that made me feel like I had to wear makeup ever... like, I was shocked!! The dullness started to fade, my skin felt smoother, and the redness? Almost completely gone 🙌🏽. I genuinely feel like it helped calm my skin down while still brightening it up in the best way. It’s sooo lightweight, sinks in ... like LOVE with a capital L and a bunch of exclamation marks!!!! 😍 Honestly, if your skin feels tired, inflamed, or just kinda “meh,” this might just be your new holy grail. It’s one of the best things I’ve everrrr tried 💥🔥.
Vitamin C12 Serum

Omgg I don’t usually rave too much about toners but I have to add this to my collection 😭✨
I was lowkey skeptical about the Medicube Zero Pore Pads at first because every skincare product swears it’s going to “change your pores forever” lol
But af... especially around my nose where I usually get clogged pores and texture. My blackheads looked a bit less obvious and my makeup started sitting nicer too ✨
It’s basically a gentle exfoliating pad (one side textured, one smooth) so you just swipe and ...

The Lip Therapy® Collection - Vaseline
I’m super picky with sunscreen because so many either feel greasy, pill under makeup, or leave that weird grey/white cast 😭 but this one genuinely feels more like skincare than sunscreen. It melts in so fast, gives the prettiest fresh dewy glow with...
Beauty of Joseon Sunscreens
The CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser is perfect if your skin feels dry or tight after cleansing. It has a creamy, non-foaming formula that cleanses gently while helping to maintain your skin’s natural moisture barrier.
