Morning Routine

Looove this toner! The consistency is perfect; not too sticky or thick but also not watered down and makes my skin feel so smooth. I noticed a difference in my skin after only one week of using it daily.
Hydrating Milky Toner

Been using this facial cleanser for yeaarsss. A gentle cleanser: helps reduce oils without drying out my skin
Foaming Facial Cleanser for Normal to Oily Skin

Chef’s kiss. I have tried so many moisturizers but they would all make my skin even more oily. Except for her. Provided enough moisturizing on the dry spots I get when using a retinol, but doesn’t make my face any more oily than it already is

Vitamin C Complex Serum

You MUST use sunscreen on your face every morning. TRUUUSSTTT. I haven’t tried any other brand spf but this doesn’t have a weird smell, doesn’t leave my face feeling oily or sticky, and affordable
Broad Spectrum Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin

Very hydrating! Gives a glowy complexion. Since my skin is typically normal to oily, I only use this the morning after I use a strong retinol to prevent dry patches
Hydrating Serum

Gentle but effective exfoliation. I even have my husband hooked on this one; it’s been great for preventing ingrown hairs caused by shaving
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner

Caution: start slow. Especially if you’ve never used a retinol before. And be sure to hydrate your skin! You will get dry patches until your skin is used to it but I promise it is worth it!
Tretinoin Cream

I really only use this if my skin is feeling very dry or if I get too much sun. It’s thick but helps repair very well

Reduces that oily “shine” but also helps my skin look much smoother and softer
