Great oily cleanser for double cleansing. I know its weird to recommend an oil cleanser for oily skin, but it is very effective when you have some blackheads and sebaceous filaments, it wont leave your skin more oily.

A more affordable version of makeup cleansing balm, it won't irritate your skin. Hydrates very well, it can be a little bit greasy so I recommend double cleansing with it.

Toners

I don't use toners that often, cause they are not the most important step in a skin care routine. But you can reach for them if you want to get more effective results, ex. to get a better texture, or hydrate your skin.

My latest find, it can make great changes you just have to be careful. If you have sensitive skin i would recommend the light blue version, but with this also you should start once a week.

A very light exfoliator, leaves my skin so soft. It's much more gentle than the glycolic one.

When I first got pimples, I learned that it's better if I let them dry out and not pop them. Well I didn't really think about that in the exam seasons, and got a few acne marks. That's why I reach for pimple patches at first signs of pimples. The por...
