Anti-Aging and Hydration
For smoother skin and smaller pores
COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence
A great retinol for those who are used to it. If you're new to retinol, you should start with a lower dose, like .3%.
Somehow this is rich without being thick. Very light and pleasant smell too!
Dr.Temt Advanced Anti-Aging Day Care 1.7 Fl.Oz
A lovely, rich mask for those with sensitive skin.
Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask
Wake up with insanely smooth skin. Great if you're new to chemical exfoliants, and it smells like candy!
Watermelon Glow AHA Night Treatment

Remove makeup gently and easily without drying or irritating your skin.
Ginger Melt Oil Cleanser
For that glowy, glass skin look. Use it at night!
Glass Skin Refining Serum
Great for those random dry-skin days. Also great for traveling, if you want to reduce the amount of serums and creams to pack! Just bring these, cleanser, and a moisturizer.
Lazy Day All-In-One Moisture Pads
Remove makeup, including stubborn waterproof eyeliner.
Garnier Micellar Water for Waterproof Makeup, 13.5oz
Wake up and depuff your tired beautiful eyes with this cream! Also helps reduce/blur wrinkles. Olehenriksen's banana eye cream is good too.
Wrinkle Blur Bakuchiol Eye Gel Crème
For brighter, glowier skin. A refreshing wake-up call for your face in the mornings.
Barrier Booster Orange Ferment Vitamin C Essence
Acne
Use this chemical peel mask 1-2x weekly for smoother, clearer skin.
Super Reboot Resurfacing Mask
For those awful deep blemishes/cystic acne. Try to catch them early!
Deep Blemish Microdarts
Cheap but more importantly, actually effective. For pimples that have fully emerged.
