These are perfect for daytime with a bare face or for wearing under makeup!
Layers SO WELL under makeup
Hydrating Milky Toner - BYOMA | Ulta Beauty
Recently started using this serum and I’m obsessssssed
7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum - ANUA | Ulta Beauty
Great gel moisturizer for us slightly oily girlies. Keeps the oil at bay and layers well both with other skincare products and under makeup.
Dew Point
Loooove this vit c in the morning but make sure you’re wearing sunscreen with it!!
Vitamin C Concentrated Antioxidant Serum - DERMA E | Ulta Beauty
UNMATCHED. I’ve been using this spf for years. It layers well over other products and does so well under makeup. Use it on both my makeup and no makeup days!
Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Gel SPF50+ 110g x2
This is a great ceramide serum for mornings that keeps my face feeling moisturized!
Hydrating Serum with Tri-Ceramide Complex - BYOMA | Ulta Beauty
This serum is so good too but it’s a bit more pricey than the byoma one so I typically will buy one or the other
1.0 oz Ceramide Barrier Nourishing Daily Serum - cocokind | Ulta Beauty
Only adding this under my affordable list because I only use them like once per week so they last me foreverrrrrr. But these are great for the mornings!
Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads
Night Time
My fave products for before bed!
Better than the most expensive serums!! STAPLE in my routine.
Ulta Beauty
I use this as part of my skin cycling routine, usually once per week. Super helpful for my mild rosacea!
Azelaic Topical Acid 10% - Naturium
I use Amazon Medical to get my tretinoin prescription! It’s a one-time fee for the virtual visit and then they send you an rx that can be filled right on Amazon… and you can use your insurance! So much cheaper than some of the other alternatives for ...
Tretinoin
Looooooove this one for nighttime. It’s slightly too creamy for my combination skin to be worn under makeup so I use it at night instead. Or on days I’m not wearing makeup!
Cosmic Silk Hydrating Milky Toner - Bubble | Ulta Beauty
2
Also part of my skin cycling routine! Use this about 2 times a week (on days I’m not using the tret or the azelaic acid) and it helps to keep acne at bay.
Benzoyl Peroxide 10%
This is one of my go-to moisturizers for before bed. Slightly too creamy for me to wear under makeup but I switch between this moisturizer and the other moisturizers on my list depending on the night
Cloud Surf
I use this moisturizer at night too (either this one or one of the others on the list). This one is similar to the dieux moisturizer but at a much better price point.
Embryolisse Moisturuzer
This is my holy grail night moisturizer but it’s sooooo expensive so I only use it on nights that I feel extra dry.
Instant Angel Moisturizer | Lipid-Rich, Nourishing Face Cream
Last step in my routine to lock everything in! I either mix 2-3 drops with my moisturizer or put this directly on my face following my moisturizer (honestly I usually just mix it because I’m lazy lol)
Ultra-Hydrating Facial Oil - Good Molecules | Ulta Beauty
Extras
Dupe for the Tower 28 spray! I buy the big refill now and keep little bottles of it everywhere to refresh throughout the day - even over makeup! Makes me feel so much cleaner and fresher.
e11ement Hypochlorous Acid Face & Skin Spray 8oz
Nothing says beautiful skin like HYDRATION does!! I have two of these and they’re amazingggg! The straws inside are stainless steel. The top part comes apart for cleaning. They have a lock so they don’t leak. They fit in a cup holder. And I throw the...
