Day & Night creams

The most clean and hydrating night time moisturising cream I've tried this year
PURITO - Dermide Cica Barrier Sleeping Pack - 80ml
A bit on the pricey side but if you live in a humid country and have dry, sensitive skin that also easily breaks out, you can't go wrong with Elemis - this cream saved my skin at 28.
Pro-Collagen Night Cream Moisturiser 50ml
If you want to save up but need something deeply hydrating - I use this cream for both my face and body in the morning!
CeraVe Moisturizers
I personally feel the need for an eye cream at 28 and this one does it for me.
ESPA 24hr Replenishing Eye Moisturiser 15ml
This is a very recent find that left me in shock of how good it is.
Water Bank Moisture Cream - Crema hidratanta
For Korean skincare products lovers - this one gives you that glass skin in the morning
COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream 100ml
Removing make-up
I've been using this one for years, even when I had acne. My rule of thumb is that if I use more than one powdery product on my face, I need to melt down the make up at the end of the day with a cleansing balm first.
Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm 100g | ELEMIS UK
Literally 5 years of using this products, clean and affordable and easy to find.
Garnier Micellar Water Facial Cleanser Delicate Skin and Eyes 400ml
I use this after removing my make-up and washing my face, before serums that need a damp skin in order to penetrate the barrier.
Uriage Eau Thermale Pure Thermal Water 150ml
Perfect for days when you don't have much make-up on & in the morning before gym.
CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser with Hyaluronic Acid for Normal to Dry Skin 236ml
For a deeper cleanse, you need cleansers that usually foam - this one is my go to right now.
Omorovicza Cleansing Foam 150ml
Serums, toners & exfoliators
Once a week - preferable last day of the week, a very gentle facial scrub. All my dermatologists and cosmetologists have advised me to do a both a manual exfoliator and a gentle chemical one once a week.
Refining Facial Polisher
In your late 20's and haven't started using retinol yet?? Me too sis :( Just started a few months ago and this is the perfect one to start with
Retinol 0.2% in Squalane
Very affordable and gentle exfoliating toner - I use it twice a week

Another favourite of mine - my skin gets used to products so I alternate exfoliating toners.
REN Clean Skincare Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic 250ml
Helps keeping hydration in - use it 3/week
VICHY Minéral 89 Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum - Hypoallergenic, for All Skin Types 75ml
