items Skincare that I have personally used as someone who has taken care of their skin for 5 years now. Most of these are repeat buys so they do work. Trust me!
This cleanser lathers well, cleans well, is fragrance free and works so good with oily skin. The consistency is smooth and you will not have to worry about running out for a long time
Effaclar Gel Facial Wash for Oily Skin
This is for everyone who prefers to double cleanse. Here is a GREAT rec for your oil cleanser. Obviously being an oil cleanser it is oily, so do not be surprised when you buy. Otherwise, its smooth on the skin and is good for lifting oil based impuri...
Hydrating Face Wash | Oil to Milk Cleanser
This is honestly comparable to the la roche posay face wash. It works exactly the same and the lather on it? To die for. A great buy
Facial Cleansers for Sensitive Skin - Face Wash &
Repair and rebuild your skin with this unique great formula from byoma. Ectoin is a potent skin protector and hydrator and this goes for squalane too. My skin feels smooth, moisturized and non sticky after using this. It’s a great investment I fear
Barrier+ Treatment Moisturizer
The one bottle I have has lasted me almost a year. Vanicream is affordable, it is hydrating and is great for all skin types. It has no odor and it also mixes well with other serums and sunscreens. It will never disappoint you.
Vanicream™ Moisturizing Cream for Dry, Sensitive Skin
As a darkskin woman, who is prone to dark circles and hyperpigmentation, this is such a great eye gel. I have tried many and will be listing my favorites here but this works so well to clear all those issues.
Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel
Never have I ever been disappointed by products created by a black woman. This products only down side for me was the smell but it’s not too terrible compared with how great it works. Tested, approved and trusted !
Serum For Discoloration & Dark Spots- Faded Serum
One thing about it, I love a good eye gel. This is so hydrating, you will realize a change in your skin after one use. I have never seen a product work so well on the first try but miss girl did it for me and that is why I will be repurchasing till t...
De-Puff + Brighten Eye Gel
Again, tested approved and trusted. Faded topicals products will never fail you plus these are the coolest looking under eye mask i’ve ever purchased haha. They work and removing them feels like a crime because of how moist and rejuvenated they leave...
Under Eye Mask for Dark Circles - Faded
Okay, as you can see most of my products are to deal with hyperpigmentation. BUT all the products I have purchased and used have been good generally for my skin and as someone with constantly fluctuating hormones, you know how hard it is to keep thos...
Discoloration Correcting Serum
This toner! Paid with the right serums, your skin will be glass in weeks. It’s great, that’s all I have to say for it
Niacinamide Brightening Toner
The one thing I love about good molecules products other than the fact that they are affordable, is the fact that the give you a glimpse of how to use. This serum is effective if used with other acids correctly.
Hyaluronic Acid Serum
It does exactly what it is supposed to do. A great purchase.
Niacinamide Serum
This pairs so so well with the byoma barrier repair treatment I was so surprised noticing quick changes in my skin like that. great rec and buy.
5% Niacinamide Serum with Ectoin
Okay I will say this was a bit different a little drying at first but with proper moisturization and care, it works amazing
Overnight Exfoliating Treatment
for $10 and ZERO WHITE CAST, I’ll take it hahah. What a great buy. Only downside is it stings when it catches the eye so be wary of that but it is otherwise so good.
Aveeno Sunscreen
no white cast and affordable. I wear sunscreen to bed so affordable has to be in my vocab. Keeps skin shiny and moisturized too.
Black Girl Sunscreen
Side Note: I love the photos available for this gem. It is also just as beautiful of a product honestly. Difference is the scent if you prefer a little sweetness to your products but it is just the same formula as the OG
BGS Vanilla Crème SPF 30
One thing about it, I will use my products to the max. I’m sure this is a body sunscreen but using it for my face helped get me out of a bout of dark spots and incoming pimples. it is so hydrating and the coverage is top tier
Aloe Sunscreen | Natural Vegan & Gluten Free | SPF 30
Okay, you have to hear me out here. For $1.25, you get a cleanser whose consistency is great, doesn’t lather BUT leaves the skin feeling hydrated and moisturized and most of all it is comparable to cetaphil to the T. I wanted to try the dollar store ...
b.pure Gentle Skin Cleanser
Okay another great $1.25 find. Some have said this dupe is better than the glow recipe and as someone who has yet to try the glow recipe, I can vouch for this 1000%. It is not drying and it is not sticky. again, $1.25
b.pure Glow Up Toner with Watermelon & Hyaluronic 4oz
