cleansers
i believe this was the first oil cleanser i tried and i’m going back to this because of how simple and effective it is. it’s important to remember to emulsify while washing this off which is probably why i didn’t care for it the first time i tried it...
dear, klairs gentle black deep cleansing oil
i’ve been using this cleanser for YEARS and i don’t see myself changing this anytime soon. such a great product!
krave beauty matcha hemp hydrating cleanser
exfoliator
i used to use the naturium bha toner, but got tired of it and felt like i wasn’t getting great results anymore. this anua one has been a nice change that’s also gentle and effective.
anua bha 2% gentle exfoliating toner
toners and essences
i’ve been waiting for this to go on sale so i can try it and it’s so good that i would pay full price next time if it never went on sale again. it’s lightweight and moisturizes so well. just two layers is enough for my skin to feel hydrated and nouri...
aestura ato barrier 365 cream mist
i’ve been both hesitant and curious about PDRN in skincare but i can confidently say that this is a great product that has lightened a couple of my dark spots from recent pimples in just 2-3 weeks. i only use this one at night just to be safe and i o...
dear, klairs freshly juiced vitamin essence toner
serums
i love how calming yet effective this serum is. it looks like a cream but rubs in like a serum. i think this would be a great intro to using a vitamin c serum or for someone who is looking for gentler vitamin c products.
beauty of joseon light on serum centella + vita c
i’m trying to stay away from using a retinol product for as long as i can, so i’ve been using gentle alternatives to get a similar benefit for my skin. this is a great nighttime serum that is full of antioxidants and it’s really affordable as well.
mary&may idebenone + blackberry complex serum
moisturizers
i think this may be my favorite day cream of all time. i can use this year round and my skin always feels great after using it.
neogen vita duo day cream
i got this as a free gift, but i’ve been loving this as a nighttime moisturizer. i like to add oils to my night cream and this mixes very well with them. the ingredients are great as well. i would repurchase for spring and summertime use though.
mixsoon cica hyal deep soothing cream
when i’m not using the manyo rosehip seed oil, this is my go-to and it’s more affordable as well. i love adding this to my night cream for the antioxidant benefits and it also helps keep breakouts at bay.
the ordinary organic cold-pressed rose hip seed oil
this is a great source of vitamin e for not only your face but your entire body as well. i love adding this to my night moisturizer along with the rosehip see oil and it helps to keep the sebum in the more oily areas of my face at bay.
eden’s garden pure argan oil
sunscreens
great sunscreen and has little to no white cast. it feels comfortable on the skin and it’s easy to wash off during my evening skincare routine.
mixsoon bean sunscreen
all time favorite sunscreen! i’ve been using this for years and nothing has topped it so far. great for cooler weather!
dear, klairs all-day airy sunscreen
this is a close second to the dear klairs sunscreen. it’s lightweight and there’s no white cast. it does pill a little bit, but it’s not enough to stop me from using it. also great for cooler weather!
numbuzin essence sunscreen
sleeping pack
this is a great lightweight sleeping pack to help seal in all the moisturizing products used prior to this step. it’s gentle and does a good job at preventing transepidermal water loss.
round lab 1025 dokdo sleeping pack
when i need some more skin protection at night, this will be going over my entire face before bed. this is the ultimate tool to prevent transepidermal water loss while sleeping.
vaseline healing jelly original
lip care
i love using this right before bed so my lips don’t get dry and chapped while sleeping.
klavuu coconut lip mask
i love using this as an alternative for a sleep mask for nice hydrated lips.
nooni lip oil
this will be a year round product for me so i just had to mention it here!
