Everyone needs a great toner. Thayers is a fantastic option, and the unscented option is even better.
Thayers Natural Remedies Witch Hazel Alcohol Free Unscented Toner - 12 fl oz
This toner is available at Costco, and it is a great, cost-effective option too. This toner is very gentle, but it does require regular use to see any effect.
Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Toner, 16.9 fl oz
This cream is a great multi-purpose product, providing a retinol treatment, with vitamin C and moisturizing. It is close to being a true all-in-one product.
+Retinol Vitamin C Moisturizer
Hands down, the best serum I've used. This serum really works to soften and hydrate my skin.
Eudermine Activating Essence

This is a classic for a reason. I still cannot find a better product to soften and moisturize the lips than this lip mask.
Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C
After a certain age, you need a good cleansing oil to get into the lines and creases and remove every last bit of makeup, dirt, and oil. This is a fantastic cleaner that I won't do without.

This is one of my favorite cleansers. It is deep cleaning, while still being gentle on my skin.
The Rice Wash Skin-Softening Cleanser
For all the rest of my skin, I think a god moisturizing shower gel is a must have. This one offers a great clean, with moisturizing, and the scent is to-die-for.
