This is so lightweight that I barely feel it after I put it on. I use it a couple times a week, because I like to rotate my night creams.
CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion

I use this more often in the winter because it targets dryness. In the warmer months, I use it about twice a week.
Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA

I use this a the final step on night I use peels or masks. It's also great for nights you want to look like a glazed donut while you sleep.

Masks & Peels

I like to rotate through these, so I can get the full benefits of products without going overboard with actives while enjoying an at home facial a couple times a month.

This mask is thick and the texture is weird, but it leaves beautiful results.
Salicylic Acid 2% Masque
 
Symone 🩵✨ profile picture
The famous exfoliating peel. This is an advanced product and should only be used after becoming experienced with other types of acid exfoliation. Even after 6 years of a continuous routine, I only use it once a month.
AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution
